Chapter 7:
A/N: Sorry its taken me this long really! Anyway hope you like!
He woke up the next morning and walked out to the living room and looked around. His grandmother and uncle were both awake but that didnt surprise him. They were always early birds. "Just like royalty should be!" is what Helena always said but he liked sleeping in some days and he was doing just that on this vacation. Until they showed up that is anyway.
"Nikolas sit down we need to talk." His uncle said not making eye contact. He raised Nikolas as his own and was going to hate doing this to him but in reality had no choice. "What?" Nikolas said as he plopped down on the couch beside him. Helena throw him a dirty look. "Sir." Nikolas finished. "We need to talk about your future and how important you are in this family." Stefan said. "Okay I know I must marry before my next birthday and I promise you I am working on it now as we speak." Nikolas said looking up at the ceiling. This conversation was getting old. It was the same stupid shit over and over again. "Yeah well to speed things along we already have your bride." Stefan finished.
"He's really cute Carly." Courtney said into the phone. "Well Im not sure if he was joking or not but he said he would come visit me when I return home." She replied with a smile. "I am not!" She screeched to her best friend. "I'll admit I like him. Alot. But Im not in love with this guy I mean seriously. I dont even know him all that well." Courtney finished. "He works at some kind of winery he said." she replied to the question as she paused. "Whatever Carly. I gotta go." Courtney said. "Maybe I am. Maybe Im going to go out by myself who knows. Not you. Goodbye and love you." She said before hanging up. She didnt have the sun's light to waste on Carly that was for sure.
"What!" Nikolas exclaimed. "I told you I am working on it." He finished. "Yeah well we already did the hard job. As soon as we return home tomorrow you will have your engagement party and get married next week." Stefan said as Helena looked on. She didnt think he was actually going to do it. "Im not going home tomorrow. Im not marrying some girl I dont want to or know." Nikolas said pissed off while looking at him. "Im sorry and I know that you really like the young girl you've been seeing since you've been here but face it Nikolas. She's not fit to stand beside you. She would crack and she doesnt even know you are a prince." Stefan finished. "So Im going to tell her." Nikolas said. "When? You are returning home tomorrow. Dont even bother." Stefan said. He didnt want to do this but didnt have a choice either. "It doesnt matter." Nikolas said as he walked back into the bedroom he slept in.
Twenty minutes later he was walking past the two bumps on a log and out the door. "Are you just going to let him go out like that!" Helena exclaimed. "Yes. Let him burn off some steam. He'll realize what we are doing is for the best and he wont tell that American girl anything and it'll be a short romance thats all." Stefan said. "Ugh." Helena said as she got up. "Why not just let him be with her if you are going to do that?" Helena said looking at him. "Well its not up to me now is it?" Stefan said. "Whatever!" Helena said as she walked to the back.
"Hey!" She said as she opened the door. "You dressed?" He asked her." Um yeah. Why?" She replied. "We are going out." He answered. "Now?" She asked. "Yeah. Lets go." He finished. "Okay. Let me get my purse." She said as she turned around. "No lets just go. Now!" He said as he grabbed her arm. "Okay. Are you okay?" She asked him. "Yeah fine why?" He asked as he banged the elevator button like twenty times until it opened. "Cause I think you just broke the elevator button by abusing it and you are acting extremely funny. You can tell me Nikolas." She said worried that something was truely wrong. "I am going to tell you. When the time is right." He said looking at her in the elevator. "Okay. Do it at your speed." She replied back to him as the elevator went down.
They rest of the elevator ride down was silent as well as the cab ride to where ever they were going. She wasnt quite sure but Nikolas knew. "Are we going somewhere?" Courtney asked him breaking the really strange silence over the two of them. "Yes." He replied. "Where?" She asked. "Its a surprise." he said as he grabbed her hand and squeezed it as she just smiled at him. The simple things he did. The unexpectant things he did. Why could there be a Nikolas Cassadine in Port Charles? All that was there was assholes and well even bigger assholes. She thought to herself as she looked at the scenery and return the grip on his hand.
"Im hungry." She said as they finally stopped. "I know." He replied. "Was my stomach that loud?" She asked him. He smiled. "No." he said as they got out of the cab. "Where are we?" She asked him confused. "We are at a famous restaurant and we are going to eat and then fo whatever you want to do." he said looking at her. "Today is all about you." He finished as she smiled. She then realized maybe she was in love with this man. She had never been treated this good and felt loved by somebody before. She also never dreamed about somebody like she did with him at night. She also couldnt picture her future without him when she did lately which was odd even for her.
They ate their food which was rather expensive too. It was a pretty nice restaurnt. Not to formal but not fast food like Wendys either. He paid and they walked out. "Where do you wanna go now? What do you want to do?" He asked her as they came out of the restaurant. She smiled at him. "What? Do I have sauce on my face?" He asked her. "No. Its a surprise." She said as she grabbed her hand. "Wait how can it be a surprise if Im paying?" He asked her. "All you got to do is pay for the cab back to the hotel." She said with a grin before pulling him into a kiss. She wasnt sure why she would wanna go any farther with this man she just met recently but her mind, heart and body told her it was right. She pulled away. "Any objection?" She asked him. "Nope none at all." He said before pulling her into another kiss and getting into a cab.
The whole cab ride back to the hotel they couldnt keep their lips off of one another. Things were getting heated and intense quick. The creepy cab driver was having a hard time keeping his eyes on the road. Its not everyday that two young people make out in the back of his cab and the girl was beautiful too. They arrived back at the hotel before they knew it. "Lets go!" She said as she quickly got out of the car and pulled him into the elevator when the doors opened. They didnt even notice the couple getting on. "I told you we should have stayed at the room!" The wife said. "So what!" The guy replied looking over at his right. He nudge his wife in the shoulder.
"Isnt that the couple from the other day?" he mouthed to her. She nodded. "They are so cute together! But they better hope their room is soon cause it looks like things are getting too much to control anymore." She said as they stepped off the elevator. He went up to the top floor and stopped. He lifted her up and carried her to the door. "The" he got out the first time. "Huh?" She said breaking away. "The key." He said out of breath. "Oh." She said looking at him. "In my purse." she replied. "Your purse is in the room." he said. "Oh damn." she replied. "Wait whats this?" he asked her as he felt her ass pocket. "Oh I forgot O put the key in there. Sorry." She said looking at him. "Dont be." He replied as he opened and they walked in.
He laid her on the bed as he began kissing her again. He slowly began undressing her as she did the same to him. He kissed down her body slowly and then made his way back up before she grabbed his face and kissed him hard. He could tell that meant she wanted more then what he was giving her and he was about to give her more. Some time passed as the sun went down and faded out the window. She laid there in his arms looking at the stairs. She never felt so loved and comfortable in somebody's arms before. "Courtney I need to tell you something." He said. She sat up and held the blanket around her body. "Okay?" She said worried. "Im going home tomorrow." he replied. "Oh." she said dissappointed and not looking at him. "Thats not it." he said as he sat up in the bed as well. "Okay?" she said wondering what could come after that. "Im a prince."
