Chapter 3:
Disclaimer: I don't own a thing. Swear!
A/N: Ay thanks so much for the reviews. I love you and you keep me going everyday and some people wished you wouldn't so I would stop but you do! Anyway here's chapter three. Oh for anybody who cares I passed PE this year surprisingly! I thought I failed it and I would have gotten honor roll but my PE teacher put "Fails to dress for PE." So that kept me off! Not bad though huh? Just so you know this chapter got wrote three times so I hope third time is a charm. Let me know!
"So why don't you tell me something about yourself Nikolas." She said. "Why do I have to tell you something about myself?" He asked her. "Thats the only way Im going to be able to tell if you're a creep or not." She said with a smile across the table which caused him to smile. "Well Im part American and part Greek." He said. "Ooo." she said with a laugh following it. "Yeah. I live in Greece with my grandmother and uncle." He said as she laughed.
"Okay whats funny now?" He asked her. "Nothing. I mean I heard of people living with their uncle and aunt or grandparents but not one of each." She said. "Well my dad is dead and my mother lives in the states somewhere. We don't associate." He said. "Im sorry." Courtney said feeling bad now. "Its not your fault." He said back to her.
"So what about you?" He asked her. "Well Im an American obviously. I live with my brother." she said as he started laughing. "And you talk about me?" He asked her. "Well its my brother not grandmother and uncle." She said. "Go on." He said. "I just graduated high school and this trip was my graduation present from my brother and I start college in the fall." She said. "Wow." He replied. "Yup." She said.
"So do you find me creepy?" He asked her." Mm. Yes I will go to dinner with you tonight." She said. "Thank you." He said back to her. They finished eating lunch and then left with just small talk.. "Ready?" He asked her. "Well I have to go back to my room and get ready for tonight." She said. "Oh. I take it thats your way of getting rid of me?" Nikolas said standing up. "Now why would I wanna do that?" She asked him as they walked out of the café. "Well let me walk you back to your room." He said as they walked down the street.
"Oh yeah. Because you have about twenty feet to walk to yours." She said as she smiled. "Hey it's the thought that counts!" He shot back at her as they made their way up on the hotel. Sure enough he walked her up to her room. Its not like he had far to go. "I'll see you in about three hours?" He said. "I don't know maybe." She said. "No a deal is a deal." He replied. "Fine three hours." She answered as she opened her door and walked in shutting it behind her. She liked him. A lot!
"Hey Carly." Courtney said as the other line picked up. "No Im getting ready to get in the bath tub. I have to be ready in three hours." She said. "I just met him last night and I owe him because he got punched today by some crazy couple on the elevator who thought he was trying to attack me." Courtney said as Carly laughed. "Yeah well I love you too." She said before hanging up the phone and making her way into the bathroom. She got dressed and did her hair. She thought she had plenty of time but she was actually running late. She still had the curlers in when there was a knock at the door and she knew who it was. "Be right there!" She shouted trying to take out the curlers, put her shoes on and grab her purse. Multi-tasking wasn't her greatest area in fact probably the worst!
She opened the door about two minutes later. "Wow!" He said. "What?" She asked him. "Nothing you look great." He said looking at her in the short black dress. "Thanks." She replied as she hit the elevator button. "So where are we going?" She said looking at him but not directly making eye contact. "It's a surprise. Do you like surprises?" He asked her. "Love em!" She answered. "I knew you would." he said as she tried hard not to blush at his charming ways as they stepped onto the elevator.
"So what do you do for a living Nikolas?" She asked him. "I work like normal people." He said lying to her. He hasn't worked a day in his life and didn't see it anywhere in the near future either. "Where at?" She asked him. "Like what do you do there?" She asked him. "I make..." he paused for a second thinking of something. "I work at a winery." He said. He knew enough about wine he thought to wing this. For once in his life he wanted somebody to be attracted to him and like him for who he was on the inside and not his title on life which was a prince.
"Mmm." Courtney said taking a bit of her shrimp. "What about you?" He asked her. "Im a stripper." she said seriously. "Wow. How much do you charge for a lap dance?" He asked her thinking she was serious."I could seriously use one." he finished as she tried hard not to laugh "I was only kidding. I work at a restaurant named Kelly's." She said back to him. "Okay. Now answer my question on how much you charge." He said messing with her. "Too much for you." She said joking back at him.
Dinner didn't go to bad. Not as bad as she thought it was going to go. "I have an idea." Nikolas said. "Whats that?" Courtney asked him as they were still seated. "Lets go see the tower." He said. "I hear its more beautiful at night then during the day." He said finishing it hoping she wouldn't decline. "Okay." she said as she stood up. They left the restaurant and he slipped his hand into hers as they walked down the street. "Hold on." She said as he stopped. "Whats wrong?" He asked her. "My feet are killing me." She said sliding the high heels off. "I'll carry them for ya." He said grabbing them from her. She had bad luck with guys but for some reason she thought this one might, just might be different.
"We wanna go up alone." Nikolas said pulling out cash and handing it to the guy who looked at it. "Your wish is my command." He said with a smile. "Wow. Mr. Big spender over here uh?" Courtney said as stepped on the elevator thingy. "Anything for you." he said with a smile which caused her to blush. "Married?" The guy that was taking them up asked. "No." Courtney quickly answered. "Oh." The guy replied sounding embarrassed. "Yeah I couldn't marry her." Nikolas said. "What!" She asked him. "You heard me. I couldn't marry you." He said as he grabbed both of her hands and held them close to him.
"Why not? Whats wrong with me?" She asked him sadly as the guy just watched. "Nothing. What I meant was that I couldn't marry you because I wouldn't deserve you." He said softly which caused her smile grow even bigger. Why isnt there guys like this at home? She wondered."Oh I got a smile." He said. "Yes you did." She said back to him as their eyes locked. They just looked at each other for a moment before letting go of her hands and cupped his around her face and pulled her into a kiss.
The guide just looked on out waiting to get to the top. "Sir. We are at the top." The guide said once they reached it. Nikolas pulled away as Courtney caught her breath. God was he a great kisser. She looked at him for a moment before looking at the view as he went behind her and put his hands around her waist and started whispering history into her ear about France. If any other guy would try and pull talking about history to her it would have been a major turn off but for some reason she enjoyed it and thats when she realized that she was falling for him and knew it. What she didn't know was that he had already fallen and didn't want to be picked up.
A/N: Okay there it is. Short I know but I promised some people an update some I doing it and Im actually quiet happy with it so let me know if you are!
