Chapter 9:
"Look I know what your thinking but I can assure you that nothing happened so dont even bother asking." Nikolas told his brother who had this look on his face "Hey, I'm not the one who said anything which makes me believe since you brought it up, that something did happen." he shot back at his brother. "Nothing happend. I promise you." "Okay. Well listen I'll let you do what you've been doing and I'll catch up with you later." "Okay bye" "Bye, bye Nathan, love you and see you later." He walked out the door.
A few minutes later, Courtney walked into the kitchen. "Morning sleeping Beauty." Nikolas told her as she smiled. This made her laugh "Morning. Oh, I see you made me breakfast." she said replying him. "I did here you go. I'll be right back let me get Nathan." he walked out of the room and walked back in two seconds later. "Okay sit right there and daddy will get your food." They were sitting at the table eating. Nikolas was trying to make small talk that he wanted to grow into a conversation. "so did you sleep good? Drooly" she didnt catch onto what he called her there for a minute when she answered. "Yes I did your bed is very comfortable. Wait what did you call me?" she asked "Drooly. I woke up this morning and I had a puddle on my chest." she laugh and so did Nathan but he didnt know what he was laughing at. He was just doing it because everybody else was. "Are you serious? I'm sorry" she said "I'm exaggerating" he told her "but you did drool just a little but i didnt mind." "Eww that must have been gross." she responded. "No not really. I wasn't focused on you drooling on my chest but on the fact that you were here with me." "Really?" she said "Yeah, Really."
After breakfast that morning Nikolas called his brother so they could set up lunch something they do every Sunday. They just never went to the same place. Courtney had left after breakfast so she could go home because she had things to do like going for her daily jog and taking a shower and getting ready for her date tonight with Nikolas, which Nathan was also going to be coming.
Nikolas meet up with is brother and sister-in-law for lunch at Eli's. "Hey how's Nathan feeling?" Elizabeth asked. "Better." "Good. I'm glad. So what are your plans for tonight?" she asked "I'm going out with Courteny later about dinner time." he responded. "oh do you need me to watch Nathan for you tonight?" "No. He's going with us actually." he told her. She was now curious. "Where are you's going?" "I dont know I told Courtney she could pick and she said it was a surprise but Nathan could come so I said ok." "Oh." They ate their lunch and then said their goodbyes because Nikolas had to get Nathan home so he could put him to bed and the same for Elizabeth and Lucky.
4:00 had came around when he got a call. "Hello?" "Hey it's me. Meet me in the park in 30 minutes." "Okay." "See you then." Alright bye.""bye." and that was it. He had 30 minutes to get Nathan ready and be at the park. The 30 minutes had pass when they arrived at the park. Nikolas eyes fell right on Courtney as he saw her and her hair long blonde hair just blowing in the wind on that September afternoon. He walked up to where she was sitting. "So I take it we are having a picinic then." "You guessed right. When did you get so smart." she said. "Hey sweetie. Do you wanna get down and play?" she asked Nathan who stuck his arms out. They had a fun picinic. It lasted until 8:30 when Nikolas decided it was time to take Nathan home because it was getting a little late.
"I had real fun with you tonight." he told her as he held her hand "Good I'm glad." "The next date I get to pick but I promise that you'll still like it okay?" "Okay. It's only fair." she said as he leaned in to give her a kiss goodbye. This kiss didnt last long like the other ones. This one couldnt because of a certain little one who was starting to fidget in his stroller. "Call me later." she said when she broke away. "Okay" and they parted ways. He laid in bed that night thinking to hisself. Was his life starting to turn around from the dark spot it was in because of the girl that he had mad feelings for? How was it that everytime he was with her he just forgot about his troubles and worries and it was only them and well Nathan when he was there too. He knew his feelings were real he just wondered if she felt the same way, thats what really keeped him thinking. Little did he know she was doing the same thing in her bed. She had the exact same questions and was wondering everything he was too.
