"You'll have to lay on me." he lays down and drags her on top of him.
"I think that I can…." As soon as she was in poison he hit the button. If took off at a higher speed then what it was on.
"Oh did I mention hang on tight." She grabbed the side of the bed. "What if I fall?"
he gripped his arms tighter around her. "Better?"
"I otta…" the bed starts going up feet first.
"whoa…..You know I don't like heights."
"What? You never said anything about that." The bed came to a stop, CC's heart was pounding and her breathing came out in shorts puffs. Niles blinked. "You're turning white." She slapped him on the arm, luckily and not in the face like she was planning to do..
"I hate you!" she screamed, "you knew I was terrified of 'roll coaters.'"
"I had no idea,"
"Yeah I bet. Max didn't tell you!"
"No," his focus was now on her and what she was saying. "Look I wouldn't have never shown you if I had known it would have upset you like it did."
"I know that you would have rubbed it in my face."
"No, I wouldn't have." He shot back at her a little annoyed that she didn't trust him. "If
for one minute I thought…"
"Yeah you would have and you know it." he tried to hold her to clam her down.
"Just let me be alone." She hissed, her fury increasing with each struggling moment.
She was finally able to scamper out of his grip.
"Ms. Babcock…" she left him, walking off, anything to get away from him.
"I'm…" he sounded regretfully. He got up and followed her down a little hallway. "I'm sorry." She stomped down the slightly lit hallway looking lost. She looked at all the doors. There are not that many rooms. Are there?
"Where are we anyway?" He sighed, was she ever going to forgive him for this? He swallowed. How come no one told me about her and the fear of heights? How much I really know about her. One question still reminds. Why hell does she live in building that had 13 floors and she lives on the very top.
"Third floor." He called as he finally caught up to her.
"Third floor? That's were all the guest rooms are."
"Yes,"
"So you can spy on anyone at anytime?"
"I could if I wanted to." He gave her a wicked grin, which she missed.
"Remind me never to stay here again." CC turned and smiles him. He saw that sparkle come back to her eyes. Now that's the eyes, I know. That's the eyes I like. Now his heart was smiling again. Curious as she was tried one of the doors.
Locked why? She thought. As to read her confused look, Niles took out a set of keys. Now he's going to play janitor too. She held back a chuckle. He has many talents.
"They're locked, you want me to give you a tour?"
"I don't…" should I trust him again after all that he had just put me through? Maxwell hates it when we snoop. What if he found us? Us? There is, no us. That's how he knows everyone's, business around here. Not only does someone tell him, he listens through the walls.
"Does Max know about this?"
"What the 'roller coaster' as you put it?"
"Yes, you twit."
"No,"
"Well, he's about too."
"No wait!" Niles runs after her. She almost steps on a trap door. He grabbed her around the waist just as piece of the floor gave way.
"A trap door too. You were going to let me fall down the trap."
"No, I was trying to warn you."
"this is worse then a horror movie. Next a murder is going to jump out at me." she sniffed, "Get me out of here!" Niles placed his arms around her waist tighter, pulling her closer to him.
"Calm down, calm down." Niles' mind: The last thing I wanted to do is to scare her. I didn't think…don't go there. The voice in his head warned him. I didn't think, that was my problem. None of this would have happened if I didn't ….care for her so much but I do. I love her. I love how she feels against me. We fit together and she knows it. Fate did bring me down here tonight. This is where I belong.
She continued to struggle with him. Some how his hands got under her shirt. He gently moved his hands back and forth across the skin of her stomach. He started to get aroused again, which CC noticed. His breath was hot and steamy as it went across her neck and the back of her ear. "Now will you trust me." she bite her lip to keep from crying out. She swallowed. She wanted him so bad.
"I…" she blinked. CC's mind: oh how good that feels. Oh, oh……she turned in his arms. She wanted to see if this was for real. Remember the danger he just put you through. She thought, she looked down and thought she saw the floor move under her feet. She was going to fall again. She grabbed onto his waist with force. Niles could feel the change in her mood quickly. She was terrified again, about what he wasn't sure.
Niles' mind: What got her so terrified again? What did I do, that was wrong? Did I hurt her in some way? There's no harm here. Just me. That's what she afraid of? Me? I wouldn't put her in any danger well, not intentionally anyway. She knows that. Maybe that is what she is thinking. She can't trust me yet. I'll have to change that.
