Chapter Six
The flight had been long but thankfully Gia didn't wake up. Nikolas sat staring at Gia as she slept. He loved her so much. They had only met a week ago but he was taken with her as soon as he had seen her. I kidnapped her, Nikolas thought. He wondered why he wasn't able to draw the line between him and his father in the moment at the cottage. Nikolas was beginning to have second thoughts. Gia may resent him. Why wouldn't she? He had taken advantage of her in her moment of weakness. However, Nikolas knew that once they reached the island he would be able to explain how he felt and why he took her from Port Charles. Nikolas glanced at the large brown folder that was lying next to him. It was a file on Gia. It was everything important that had ever happened to her. It even included her favourite flowers and the type of food she often liked to eat. Nikolas' eyes then shifted to the window of the plane. It was time. They were at his home. Greece.
The sunlight was faint as it draped Gia's dark skin. Gia's eyes began to flutter as she slowly opened them. "Oh my God!", Gia gasped. Where was she? The room she was in was large and dark. The furniture looked oddly familiar to the ones at Wyndemere. Was she at Wyndemere? How did she get there? Gia only knew one thing and it was that she had to get out of wherever she was as soon as possible. Wrenching the heavy covers from the bed, Gia flung her legs out of the bed and on to the floor. The carpet that touched her feet was so soft and plush. As she took a quick glance at the somewhat creepy room, Gia caught sight of herself. She was dressed in a white satin nightgown. Where were her clothes? She didn't remember owning anything as elegant as the gown before.
Suddenly the door to the room flung open. "Nikolas!", Gia yelled. She ran close to him. "Where am I? Nikolas, how did I get here? What the heck is going on?", Gia interrogated, hoping to get answers to all her questions. Nikolas was silent. He simply took her by the hand and led her to the velvet loveseat by the large window. Gia was curious as to why he wasn't in the hurry she was to get out of the creepy place. Gia tugged on her hand, "Nikolas! Come on! We need to get out of here. We can talk later!". Gripping her hand with strength, Nikolas spoke quietly, " Gia, please sit down. I need to talk to you about something. It's very important!". Gia thought about how things kept on getting more and more confusing to her. So she blankly sat down beside him and turned and said, "Nikolas, just tell me what's going on.". Nikolas drew a deep breath and said, "I think I've fallen in love with you Gia." What the hell was going on, Gia wondered. If she wasn't confused before she was now. "Nikolas...", Gia tried to speak. "No Gia, listen to me. When I first met you at the Luke's, I was completely taken by you. Ever since then, I couldn't stop thinking about you and how you smile.", Nikolas spoke. The room was beginning to spiral around Gia as she cried, "Nikolas, this isn't the time! We need to get out of here before someone sees us! Please! I just want to go home!!" Nikolas confessed, "Gia, I needed to bring you here so that you could get to know and love me without the distractions of Zander or anyone else for that matter! I'm not letting you go until you've given me a chance." "You...you're keeping me here? I want to leave Nikolas! I want to go home! Stop acting like this! Please take me home!", Gia began to yell. Nikolas spoke softly, " I'm sorry but you can't leave. I won't allow it." Won't allow it? What was wrong with Nikolas? He continued to talk, "You need time to think. I'll leave you but I will come back." With that said, Nikolas got up and walked out the door leaving a screaming Gia pounding on the door. He had locked her in.
