Kim sat on her front porch as she looked at her cell phone screen for the time. 12:03. He was late. She sighed and continued to wait for him. She pulled down her skirt a little bit, as to try to cover her legs.

She looked down the street and saw a black car driving up the street. She smiled as she walked out to the car. She got into the passenger seat and looked over at him, "You're late."

Nik sighed, "Sorry, I had to stop and get gas."

Kim sarcastically looked away, "Ahuh..."

Nik smiled and turned around the car. He drove towards Willow's Hill. Kim quickly realized where he was going. She sat back in her seat and waited before asking him about it.

She looked at him and said, "Why are we going to Willow's Hill?"

Nik smiled, "We're not, we're driving over it."

Kim looked at him with a smirk, "Where are you taking me."

Nik's smile widened, "You'll see."

She felt Nik press down harder on the accelerator as they drove over Willow's Hill. Kim felt a strong uphill force beating down on her as she drove up her Mountain.

Nik took a hard left turn onto the highway. It was followed by a hard right as Nik merged with the highway traffic. Kim felt the back end sway. She sighed and looked over at him, "I thought you were a calm and collected driver."

Nik nodded, "I usually am, but I'm in a hurry."

Nik accelerated to the red line and shifted into fourth gear. He began nearing 80 mph hen he began to swerve through traffic. It was hard and Kim noticed Nik angrily snarl as he slowed down to keep with traffic.

Kim waited almost fifteen minutes before she asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"New York."

"Ha, ha, seriously, where are we going?"

"New York."

"You're kidding me, right?"

Nik shook his head, "Nope."

"Why are we going there?"

"I don't know, I felt like it."

"Ok..."

Nik smiled and began swerving through traffic as he drove past the state capital. He continued to drive for 20 more minutes before he passed the state line. Kim sighed and put her seat back as she lightly dozed off to sleep.

Nik drove for another hour until he passed into NYC. He smiled as he pulled off the highway by Grand Central Station. He began to drive through the New York streets. It was a pain, but he did it anyway.

Nik looked over at Kim sleeping. She looked so peaceful. He didn't want to have to wake her up. He pulled over to a parking garage and bought a space for 3 hours.

Nik lightly tapped Kim's shoulder, not expecting her immediate reaction. She jolted up quickly and looked around. She looked over at him, "What? Are we there yet?"

Nik nodded, "Yeah, come on, let's get going."

Nik stepped out of the car and reluctantly gave the valet his keys. He then took Kim's hand and walked down the street. He headed into a small pizzeria that sat underneath a large office building.

He walked over to the counter and looked at Kim, "This is why I came to New York."

Kim looked at him, "Pizza?"

Nik smiled and nodded, "Yup."

"We have pizza in Connecticut; you do know that, right?"

Nik nodded in response, "But it's nothing like true New York pizza."

Nik heard her sigh as he walked up to the counter. He ordered himself a slice of pepperoni pizza and then Kim ordered a slice of pepperoni and bacon. Nik took their pizza and sat down in a corner booth.

Kim sighed again as she bit into her pizza, "You came to New York for pizza..."

"Have you ever eaten pizza from Japan?"

"...They have pizza in Japan?"

Nik nodded, "Yup."

Kim took another bite of her pizza, "Well, this is the best date I've ever been on."

Nik smiled, "I'm glad I could do that for you.

Kim sighed, "That was sarcasm you idiot."

Nik sighed as he bit into his slice, "You don't have to be mean..."

Kim sighed, "You're such a baby."

Nik sighed, "No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

Kim smiled a little, "Don't you think this is a little childish?"

"Yeah, but we're doing it anyways."

"You're insane."

"Thank you for noticing."

Kim smiled as she finished off her pizza. She looked over at Nik and smiled. He was so innocent when he wasn't around his car. He wasn't aggressive, which was usually a turn off for her. With him though, it was attractive.

He also was nice, sweet, modest, she could go on and on about him. She really did like him. Kim lifted herself up over the table as she leaned on it. She put her index finger up and swung it back and forth, "Come here."

Nik pushed himself up and looked at her. She brought herself closer and quickly pecked his lips before pulling away. Nik sat back and looked at her, "What was that for?"

"Because you're so fucking sweet."

"Umm, thank you?"

Kim laughed and then stood up as she saw Nik finish his pizza, "Where do we go now?"

"Up."

"Up where."

"Up high."

Nik grabbed her hand again and walked away from the pizza place. Kim slowly took Nik's hand and conformed hers with it as they walked down the street. Kim smiled as they walked hand and hand together. It was like a fairy tale.

Nik walked up to the building, "It's a lot easier to get up high here then in the empire state building."

Kim nodded, "Yeah, but world commerce is such a turn off."

"Eh, it's a pretty building."

Nik lead Kim into the World Trade Towers slowly. They walked around the main floor for ten minutes before the found an elevator to take them to the top floor. They stepped out of the elevator and walked over to the window of what they thought was the top floor. They looked down on the city of New York together. People actually did look like ants form this high up.

Nik then lead her to a second elevator which took them up to the top floor. Up here, everything looked like ants. Kim smiled and looked at Nik, "Not bad."

Nik looked at her as he raised his eyebrow, "Hmm."

"I mean, taking me to the movies or for a small drive would have been better, not to mention easier, but New York is a good choice."

Nik smiled, "I'm glad you like it."

Kim felt Nik's hand leave hers and felt his arm slide around her waist. She leaned her head onto his shoulder. She smiled. She really liked being with him. She felt Nik bring his arm up and look at his watch, "Holy shit."

"What?"

"We gotta get back; I only paid for three hours at that parking spot."

"Oh." Kim followed Nik out of the Trade building and back to the parking garage. Nik gave his ticket and felt relieved when he found his car undamaged. Kim got into his passenger seat and they sped out of the building.

She felt weird driving around the crowded streets of New York. She wasn't used to experiencing the type of traffic they had here at home. She sighed and looked out her window.

She looked over at Nik, "So are we going home now?"

Nik shook his head, "Nope, we're going to get smashed."

"Umm, I've never been very much of a drinker."

"You'll learn."

Nik looked at her with a smile and she returned it almost reluctantly. She kind of didn't want to get drunk around him. She shook her head and hoped that they weren't going to get too screwed up.

Another two hours made them show up at a bar in West Hartford. Kim stepped out of the car and walked behind Nik into the bar/restaurant. She walked and saw the bar only half packed.

She followed Nik over to the back of the restaurant and walked into the kitchen behind him. She looked at Nik who looked over at the side of the kitchen with the ovens.

Nik smiled, "Joey!"

She saw a guy who looked to be in his mid-30's walk out from the hot area, "Nik, that you?"

Nik nodded and shook the guy's hand, "Hey man, Jay around?"

"Yeah, he's downstairs. What are you doing here?"

"I came back from Japan for Christmas."

Joey pointed at Kim, "Who's she?"

"My date, I'm gonna go see Jay. You wanna get me some fries and nachos?"

"Yeah man, see you later."

Kim felt her hand become grabbed by Nik's as he led her down the stairs into the basement. Nik knocked on the office door and Kim lo0oked at a short man with glasses who was sitting at a desk.

Nik smiled, "How you doing Jay?"

Jay smiled, "I'm good man, it's good to see you back in the states."

"Yeah, I came back for X-mas. Hey, you promised me you'd get me smashed when I got old enough. Well, I'm 22 and thirsty."

Jay smiled, "Tell Mike at the bar who you are. He'll help you out."

Nik smiled and grabbed Kim's hand as he walked out of the office, "Thanks man!"

Nik walked back towards the stairs and stopped halfway up. He looked down at Kim, "Hey, I'm sorry if you feel like I'm dragging you around. I don't mean to."

Kim shook her head, "No, it's fine."

Nik looked down at her, "You're beautiful."

She shook her head, "No I'm not."

Nik stepped down one step to get closer to her, "Yes you are."

She shook her head, "No I'm not."

Nik smiled, "Didn't we go over this before?"

Kim smiled seductively, "I guess you're just not a very good teacher."

Kim soon felt Nik's hand on her hip and she felt him throwing her body into a wall before pressing his lips against hers. Kim slid his arms around his neck and parted her lips to allow his tongue in her mouth.

Kim felt his body pressing hard against hers. She began to try to wiggle herself out of it but he wouldn't budge. Kim just smiled and kept kissing him. She tapped his shoulder lightly to make him stop after a few minutes.

Kim looked into his eyes, "Calm down, you'll scare little children."

Kim saw Nik look down at his crotch and took the opportunity to slip away from him. She walked out to the bar and ordered sex on the beach. It was delivered quickly and she began to drink it slowly.

She felt a light tap on her shoulder and looked behind her to see Tom. She sighed, "What the fuck are you doing here?"

Tom held up his beer, "And you?"

"I'm on a date."

"With?"

She smiled, "The Highland 240."

Tom smiled and whispered, "I warned him..."

"What?"

"Nothing..."

"No, what?"

"It's just that, have you thought about why he's so interested in a girl he'll only be with for another week?"

Kim stopped. She had never thought about that. She forgot that Nik didn't live here. He was only here on a Christmas trip. Why was he so interested? Was this just a fling for him?

Tom sighed, "I talked to him last night about it. He said he's just looking for something, or his words were 'someone', to do."

Kim stopped and looked at Tom, "You're kidding me?"

Tom looked at her, "I care about you Kim, I wouldn't lie to you."

Kim leaned against the wall of the bar. She brought her drink to her lips and sipped on it slowly. She then looked at the kitchen and saw Nik walking towards her with two plates in his hand.

Nik smiled and put out a plate of nachos towards her, "Nachos?"

Kim stared at him. He was just using her. No one would look for an everlasting relationship on vacation, not even a normal relationship. It was stupid of her to think he actually cared.

She shook her head at looked at Tom as she felt her eyes become wet, "Tom, can you give me a ride home?"

Nik looked at Kim as he set the nachos and the fries down on the bar. Why was she asking him for a ride? What had happened while he was getting nachos and French fries?

Nik asked, "Kim is something wrong?"

Kim looked at him with teary eyes, "Yeah, I hate you."

Nik looked at her, "No you don't."

"Yes I do, don't tell me how I feel."

Nik looked at Tom and then back to Kim, "What did he say to you?"

"Nothing, I just pieced it all together. I hate you Nik. You said you were different and you almost fooled me, but you're just like every other guy."

"Kim, what do you..."

"Save it! Just go away, I never want to see you again." Nik watched as a single tear slid down Kim's cheek. He wanted to know what happened, but everything he said just made her upset. Nik looked away from her, "Ok, I'll go..."

Nik left his food at the bar and walked towards the door. He opened it as he walked out of the restaurant but he stopped. He looked back at Kim as she ordered another drink. Nik sighed and walked over to the 240SX.

Nik started the engine and revved it up. The sound soothed him slightly. Nik put the car in reverse. He accelerated around a left hand turn and then and immediate right as he sped past a yellow light. Nik accelerated up to 80 mph in fourth gear and kept going up.

Nik accelerated hard and shifted up to fifth gear as the car reached 100 mph. Nik slid around a long, left hand turn and accelerated towards the main part of town. Nik drove onto a back road so he could avoid the Main street strip.

Nik hit the brakes hard and downshifted to third gear as he gripped the corner and pulled back into his lane. He powered past a red light. His speed wasn't doing it. He needed to go faster. Nik accelerated harder and downshifted as he sped up a hill.

Nik went into fourth as he downshifted to handle a left hand corner. The car slid hard and pushed the car from its regular angle into an insane160° turn. He used the built-up inertia to drift around the next right hand turn. Nik drove very carefully so he wouldn't over correct and send himself into a spin.

Nik slightly over-corrected as to build up inertia for the next turn. The continuous ninety degree turns put a lot of pressure on his body. There were high G-forces coming from each turn. His speed was high and his tires were smoking.

Nik looked ahead and swerved through traffic as he drove through an intersection. He drifted right and used a Kansei drift to send him sliding into the next turn. He kept driving up towards the lake and he slid uphill along a right hand turn. He saw an entrance to the lake run.

Nik lay down on the accelerator hard. His vision became blurred quickly as salty water filled up his eyes. Nik closed his eyes and whimpered as he slammed the brakes and did a 540 degree turn, nearly hitting the stop sign he'd hit when driving the Accord.

Nik pounded on the edge of his Momo steering wheel continuously until he couldn't feel his hand. He put his head on it and cried silently. He just couldn't hold in his emotions anymore.

He had figured something out. There where four words that he could now use to sum up the way he felt about Kim. He loved her. He didn't really know what love was, but he knew that was how he felt about her.

He couldn't get his mind off from the moment he met her. He didn't want to. He wanted to hold her close to him. He wanted to press his lips against hers. He wanted just to stare at her forever. He loved her. He loved her more then he'd loved anyone else in his entire life. He loved her deeply and passionately. He loved her...

Yo ya'll, FYI, I'm probably changing my story to an M rating soon because of upcoming chapters. It's probably only gonna be one or two chapters, so I might just put in my info "Don't read chapter X + Y if M ratings scare you" or something like that. Till then, Gohan gaitei wo doko desu ka?
