Courtney and Nikolas found that many other people had the same idea as they did. "I wonder if there are any vacancies?" Nikolas asked.
"Probably" Courtney replied. She made her way to the receptionist desk. "I need to speak with Carly Corinthos"
The receptionist nodded, "May I have your name?"
It was weird for Courtney when the employees of the MetroCourt didn't recognize her. This place had been a big part of her life. She just smiled and said, "Courtney Matthews"
The receptionist picked up a phone and called Carly. It only took a moment for Carly to show up. "Hi" Carly greeted her warmly with a hug. She nodded at Nikolas and she cooed over John.
"Do you have a room available?" Courtney asked.
Carly shook her head, "Sorry guys. It seems everyone in town is here" Carly paused. She seemed to be deep in thought. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a key. "Third floor," she said.
"A room? Really?" Courtney asked excitedly.
"Yes" Carly smiled. "It is actually my room here. I will sleep in Jax's room"
"Jax's room. You will sleep with Jax?" Courtney asked.
"He isn't here" Carly replied. She cocked her head to the side. "He left town almost a month ago. He is in Egypt with his mom. You didn't know?"
Courtney looked at Nikolas, "No- we were just talking about how quiet it has been without Jax- I didn't realize…" Courtney trailed off. She didn't know how she felt about that but decided Jax did what he needed to do. "Ok, well thanks for the room Carly. We should go unpack."
"Would you guys like to grab a bite to eat?" Carly asked.
"Sure" Courtney replied. Nikolas nodded but didn't say a word and together Nikolas and Courtney went upstairs.
"Weird about Jax leaving huh?" Nikolas asked as they stepped on the elevator. Courtney just nodded. She was in love with Nikolas. She knew that. But she wished her relationship with Jax was better. She hated the fight they had and wished she could do some thing to make it all better. But in her heart she knew she couldn't. Not until Jax found a girl for himself. Maybe then things would be a little more normal.
Nikolas and Courtney stepped off the elevator and fund there room. Nikolas opened the door. Courtney went in and placed little John's carrier on the bed. Nikolas put his arm around Courtney waist.
"Do we have to go to dinner with Carly?" he asked as he kissed her cheek. "Can't we just stay here with John?"
Courtney giggled, "I haven't seen Carly in a while so yes- we have to go" Courtney replied. "But we wont stay long, ok?"
Nikolas sighed, "Ok" he said sounding reluctant. The he grinned, "I love you. I can't wait until we get married"
"Me either" Courtney said. She turned her head to kiss Nikolas but right before their lips touched John started to cry.
"No rest for the weary, huh?" Nikolas asked. Courtney moved to go to John but Nikolas stopped her. "Go take a shower and I will handle him, ok?"
Courtney nodded and kissed Nikolas on the cheek, "You are the best"
Nikolas didn't respond her just smiled and went to pick up John.
