It wasn't until a while after when Nicholas whispered in my ear if I wanted to go get a drink. We had been out there for almost an hour I think so I was pretty thirsty. Nicholas brought me to the bar an got us both a beer. That was fine.

" You've never been to a club before have you?"

"No. What? You noticed how nervous I was out there?"

"Yeah that was kind of obvious."

"Ya well. There's a first time for everything."

"I hope you don't plan on not doing this again."

"It was in the back of my head somewhere."

"Well if only for a reason would you come for me?"

"I don't know. You were pulling some unwanted stunts back there."

"I didn't see you protesting."

"Are you kidding me? Don't you remember when I tried to hit you over the head with a table?"

"Hmm must have missed that. Maybe cause I was to lost in your eyes."

"Then get a map."

"Maybe I should. But where would I go first?"

" I don't know. Most of the guys I know start at my ass."

"Well I'm not like most of those other guys."

"So you'd rather start at my boobs?"

"How about your lips?"

Ok. This just hit me. No not really hit me like when me and Sayoran were found by the creepy guys when I got hit by the tranquillizers. I was flirting. I never flirt. Flirting was way beyond me. That was Asuka Miharu's job. Not mine.

" I don't know. You'd have to be pretty tricky to get there. Sayoran already got me twice with it. The little bastard."

"So you two are not dating but he's kissed you twice?"

"It was more of something to show me up and to shut me up. That's alright. The first time he deserved what he got. Actually I really wished I would have had a gun at that moment. Not like I haven't tried to get him shot already."

I saw Nicholas gulp a little.

"Don't worry. I was only testing something when I first tried to run away and he just happened to be there."

"Ok. Just please. No trying to push me in front of any guns. I've already had the experience at being shot. And it is no trip to happy land."

"Got it. No more pushing people in front of guns."

I swallowed some of the beer I was given. I actually didn't like beer very much. I was more the wine cooler and rum type.

"Hey do you want to go?" Nicholas asked.

"Yeah its getting a little crowded in here."

"Ok just a second. I'll go tell Mikelle."

After Nicholas left Sayoran came up to me.

"Seems like your having fun."

"Yeah well at least I am. Why are you so grouchy?"

"Nothing. Just be careful around Nicholas ok?"

"Why? He's no-"

"OK..?"

"Fine I'll be careful."

Your jealous. I Can see it.

"You ready Sakura?"

"Yeah. See you later Sayoran."

Before Sayoran could say another word, Nicholas grabbed my hand and we left for the door.

"Bike or car?" Nicholas asked.

"Ohh. Toughie. Lets go with bike."

"Alright. You want to drive?"

"Um I don't really know how to."

"Don't worry. I'm here. I wont let anything happen."

"O-Ok."

I got on and Nicholas got on behind me. I was scared. Why? Well for one I have never driven a motor bike before. And I'm pretty sure I'm still trying to get over my first bike ride. I don't know why I wanted to take the bike. It sounded like fun. And I thought Nicholas was going to drive.

"Wow! I have never done anything like that before!"

"So it's safe to say you had fun?"

"Hell yes!"

"Haha. Maybe I should get you your own bike."

"Whoa. Ok not yet. I'm not ready to go solo."

"I understand. Come on inside."

It was getting kind of cold out.

"Do you want some coffee?"

"Yeah sure. Just make sure you load up the sugar and a little bit of milk."

"Wow. That's worse than Mikelle. He loves just plain coffee with milk and no sugar."

"What can I say? I'm an addict to sugar. And I haven't had any in a few weeks no thanks to that forsaken school."

"Your different you know that?"

"Only the best."

Nicholas laughed and gave me the coffee he made.

"This is pretty good."

"I only gave you what you wanted."

"And for that I thank you."

We talked for a while about random things. It was great. I hadn't done that in a long time. The last time I had so much fun was when I was with Gabriel. It felt like I was with him again. But I was with Nicholas. Almost like they are the same people. But Gabriel would have never gone to a club. He would have never gone drinking. And he definitely wouldn't dance with me. That's what I liked about Nicholas. He was like Gabriel but he took more risks. He did things Gabriel wouldn't. That's what I liked about Nicholas. He didn't really look like Gabriel. But he reminded me so much of him that it was comforting. That's what I liked about Nicholas.

"Its getting pretty late. I don't think the others will be back for a while though."

"Meh. That's ok. More time for a quiet house."

"Yeah. That's what I like about coming back early. I have the house to myself and I can get a little extra sleep."

It seemed like such a meaningless talk but I felt like I knew almost everything about Nicholas. And I think somewhere in there I might have told him my life story too.

"Speaking of sleep I might as well get to bed."

"Yeah. Do you want me to come with you?"

I looked at him kind of weird. I think he knew why.

"I'm sorry. That came out wrong. I meant to say would you like me to accompany you to your bedroom? It's on the way to my room anyways."

"Sure. I'm not quite used to this house yet. And I'm not a fan of walking down dark hallways by myself."

"Alright. I understand."

He again grabbed my hand and led me to my room. He was very innocent. Nicholas was just like a kid. Not a care in the world.

"Well milady. This would be where you leave me."

"And let me guess? You want a good night kiss?"

"It would be preferred."

"Fine I guess you deserve one."

I lent up to him. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and let my feet fall back to the ground.

"Well good night Nicholas. Have sweet dreams."

"Oh! Come on! Is that all I get!" He protested as I started to enter my room.

"As long as I can get away with it… Yes."

Awe. I thought that was cute! I think little Sakura is changing her attitude! Oh man I cant wait!
