Promise me - Chapter 9
At the cottage
Gia/Catie walked around and surveyed the bedrooms, Lucky was right, she thought, this place is great. It was small, but not to small, and there were no neighbors around that would question her. She liked the peacefulness that engulfed the cottage, and the horse that stayed on the property just added to the majesty, she loved it. Although she did have to admit to herself that this Lucky character was a little odd, and seemed to have his own agenda, but he seemed harmless enough.
"Yeah, and I have such a great judge of character, look at how wrong I was about Jonathan," she said to herself as she walked down into the kitchen.
"What was that?" At the sound of Lucky's unexpected interruption Gia/Catie jumped.
"Nothing, you scared me, I, uh, was just talking to myself." Gia/Catie hoped that he hadn't heard what she said.
"Don't worry people do that a lot here."
"Do what?" Gia/Catie had lost focus of their conversation as she was submerged in her thoughts
"Oh talk to themselves, people tend to do that a lot."
"In the cottage?"
"No, no. In Port Charles."
"Ooh. Okay."
Lucky had to reply quickly, he felt as though he was losing her. "So what do you think?"
Gia/Catie turned and smiled at him. "It's great, but when do I get to meet this brother of yours? He won't be mad that you brought me here, will he?"
"Nah, he won't care, he was just saying this morning how he really needed to find a roommate. He's a great guy so don't worry. If you like the place, I'm sure the empty room is yours."
"That's really great." Gia/Catie was nervous about meeting Nikolas, visions of Jonathon kept haunting her, she was terrified that he might be lurking around the next corner, but Lucky had this way of making her feel relaxed, and when she realized he could do that, he made her more nervous.
Both Gia/Catie and Lucky turned their heads as they heard the front door open. "Lucky? Elizabeth? Where are you? I saw your car out front."
"Are you ready to meet my brother?" Lucky turned toward Gia with a huge smile on his face, he couldn't wait to see Nikolas reaction, and any male would have one when Catie walked into a room.
Gia/Catie just nodded. She wasn't sure why she was nervous; maybe it was just because she really liked this cottage. She followed Lucky into the living room.
"Hey bro," Nikolas said, he was looking through the male and was unaware of the extra person in the room. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I brought you someone, a possible roommate." It was at this that Nikolas looked up, and he saw the beautiful woman that had been standing behind Lucky. "Nikolas this is Catie, Catie this is my brother Nikolas."
Nikolas looked at her; they looked straight into each other's eyes. He stopped breathing; his heart was caught in his chest, he was sure that they had been sent into an alternate dimension where they were the only two people that existed.
"Nice to meet you." Her voice shook him out of his dream, where he was met with a beautiful woman and reality.
The way he stared at her made her feel nervous and wonderful at the same time. Was this the man she was supposed to live with? How the hell was she going to pull that off?
