Chapter 13: Face Off Pt.1
Nikkie was sitting in the waiting room. Terri was in a coma and she had just been x-rayed for any brain damage. They found that she was free of damage, but she was lucky the impact didn't hit so hard. They would just have to wait and see what would happen. Jimmy took Nikkie back to his house. Nikkie went to use his bathroom. She adjusted her tube top and looked in the mirror. She tied her hair quickly into a ponytail and turned the cold water on. She splashed the water on her face and looked back into the mirror. She tured off the water and wiped her face. She slowly walked out of the bathroom. She walked into Jimmy's room. He was just closing his closet, from putting away his jacket. He turned around. Nikkie walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Nikkie needed shelter. She felt it was her fault.
"Are you ok" Jimmy asked her. Nikkie pulled away from his embrace.
"I'm fine" Nikkie said
"Ok, um. I'll be back in a second" Jimmy said stepping out of the room. Nikkie removed her jacket. She took off her sneakers and socks. She laid down on her back on Jimmy's bed. She covered her face with her hands. She removed her hands and stared at the ceiling. Jimmy walked back into the room. He sat down on the edge of the bed as he removed his watch and placed it on his night table. He bent over and stuck his face in his palms. Nikkie quickly sat up on her knees. She went over to him and rubbed his back. She then leaned her chin on his shoulder. She pushed forward and kissed him on the cheek.
"Are you ok" Nikkie asked. He turned and looked at her and nodded. And returned her soft kiss on the lips. She smiled and layed down on the opposite side of the bed. He laid down next her. He grabbed her hand and laced it with his. He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it. She came closer to him and wrapped and arm around his waist and layed her head on his chest. His emotions told her that he would never hurt her. Especially the way Rick did Terri.
Nikkie woke up the next morning to find herself embraced in Jimmy's arms. She slowly removed his arm from her body. She slipped on her sneakers and her jacket. She wrote Jimmy a note and left it on her pillow. She gave him a kiss on his cheek and walked out of his room and apartment quietly.
When she got home, she quietly slipped into her bedroom and pulled some clothes from her drawer. She went into the shower.
MEANWHILE.....
Jimmy was waking up. He streched and yawned. He rubbed his face. He turned to see a note. He picked up the peice of paper. It read:
Dear Jimmy-
I'm sorry I left early...I didn't want to wake you. I was thinking we could go to the hospital today. Talk to you later---XoX, Nikkie
He smiled softly and layed it back onto her pillow. He then went back to sleep.
Two Weeks had passed....it was the day of the yearly picnic. Nikkie had put on a desert storm camoflouge pleated skirt, with the matching jacket and a plain white tight t-shirt under it. She had on her all white low top nikes. She had her hair straight. She walked downstairs to find Marcus sitting on the couch, looking comfortable...like he lived there. She walked over to the couch and stood there, until he realized she was there, he jumped a little and turned off the TV.
"Nikkie, hey. Your ready for- the-um- picnic" he asked Nikkie. Nikkie ignored the question
"Where's my mom" she asked
"She-she's in the backyard with Alexa, why?" he asked. Before he could finish, Nikkie walked out the room toward the kitchen door.
"Nikkie" he called after her. She made it outside to see Kayla putting Alexa in the backseat.
"Mom, what is he doing here, again. Especially so early" Nikkie asked
"Good morning to you too, and he's here to take us to the picnic" Kayla told her
"Mom, he's always here. When will it stop mom" Nikkie asked
'Honny, he's just a business partner. We do work, and we have become close over the weeks. We need to look out for out jobs" Kayla said
"Mom, your a child's doctor, what business is there to take care of" Nikkie asked
"He's helping me learn the new things I didn't know about back at my old job. I'm a doctor now, not a nurse. Now I have to go" Kayla said
"You promise nothing is going on" Nikkie asked
"I promise. You know I love your father. I would never replace him" Kayla said as she grabbed Nikkie's face and kissed her on the cheek. Kayla got into the passenger seat. Marcus finally got outside.
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive you" he asked Nikkie
"Jimmy's picking me up, so-" Nikkie said
"Ok, see you there" he said getting into the car and waving good-bye, before driving out of the driveway. Nikkie rolled her eyes. She didn't know what to believe. Were they really "just friends" or were they more than that? Nikkie shrugged it off and walked back inside. She closed the door and tucked her hair behind her ear. She walked over to turn off the living room light. She then heard a honking of a horn. She looked through the window by the front door. She saw Jimmy's car. She turned off the lights and grabbed her keys. She got outside and opened up the passenger door seated herself and they drove off. They had finaly arrived to see the park crowded. She settled by a tree where she found Paige and Hazel.
