Here's a Valentines Day special

Chap. 7: Nicol Amalfi

6:50pm-A.Z Cuisine

Cagalli sat at the bar with Lacus watching a poor Miriallia and a love sick Dearka. He quickly stood in front her, blocking her way and kneeled down on one knee.

"My dear, Miriallia, Happy Valentines Day!! I just want to say, my darling, that I LO-"

"Dearka, shut up! Can't you see that I'm in work!?" She hissed, balling her fist and smacking him across the head.

"Ouch! You wound me, honey. Not only on the head but in my heart too." He had a pout look on his face and held his hand to his heart, she completely ignored him as she brushed passed him. Cagalli burst out laughing loudly at the useless Casanova, whilst Lacus silently giggled.

After Miriallia served some drinks to tables, she returned to where the two girls were sitting.

"Lacus, you are so lucky to a boyfriend that doesn't confess his love to you every single minute." Lacus burned red whilst Cagalli looked at Lacus shocked.

"I don't have a boyfriend!!" She blurted.

"What?! When?! Who?! How?!" Cagalli questioned the cherry red Lacus.

"What?" Lacus, how could you not tell Cagalli?! Shame on you! Don't worry, Cags' let me fill you in." Miriallia butted in.

"No! Miriallia, I wi-"

"You see, Cagalli, when dear Lacus turned up to work today, someone,confessed to her making her cry out of joy and throw herself in his arms" Miriallia smirked as Lacus hid her face in embarrassment.

"Who is the guy!?" Cagalli shouted excitedly.

"Go on, tell her who your lover boy is, Lacus" Miriallia egged her on. Lacus lifted her head up slightly, still red in the face as she looked at Cagalli.

"K-Kira." She said in a small voice. Cagalli' eyes widened and she glomped the poor pink haired girl.

"Kira?! Oh I'm so happy for you!! You two have liked each other for AGES! Geez, I was wondering when one of you would confess!" All three girls giggled and chatted about Kira, Dearka and Cagalli' date for the day until Cagalli excused herself for the bathroom.

"I wonder what this ones going to be like" Lacus pondered.

"Well, she's had a power using idiot, an over confident flirter and a soon to be anger management patient. Hey, how old did Cagalli say this one was?"

"Seventeen, I think-"

"Umm….Ex-excuse me. B-but…Do you kn-know if Ca-I mean the Princess has arrived yet?" Both Miriallia and Lacus looked to the source of the voice and their eyes widened.

There stood a boy with messy green hair and a pair of anxious eyes. He wore a regular tux and was holding a bouquet of red roses in his arm. His fingers were fumbling with each other nervously. He looked like a young boy whom was lost.

Miriallia' eyes softened at the boys innocent eyes and nervousness. Gently smiling at the boy she answered him softly.

"She' just gone to the bathroom, if you wait in the lounge area I'll tell her you've arrived and are waiting." She pointed to the lounge area and he nodded. He thanked them and rushed off blushing in embarrassment. Miriallia and Lacus looked at each other before-

"Awwwww!!" They both cried.

"He's a mother's boy! A softy!" Lacus said whilst looking at the retreating boy.

"I don't care what he is! He's ADORABLE!" Miriallia squealed.

"You find me adorable, my sweet, Miriallia??" Dearka butt in from somewhere.

"You wish, idiot!" She replied and smacked him across the head again.

"Hey, what did I miss?" Cagalli returned to see Lacus and Miriallia looking at awe over in the lounge area direction and Dearka nursing his head.

"Oh! Cagalli, You date has arrived!!" Lacus said excitedly.

"Yeah, he's soo adorable!!" Miriallia added, looking off into space with a dreamy look on her face.

"You really are breaking my heart my dear, Miriallia!" Dearka cried. Cagalli looked towards the lounge area and spotted the green haired boy. She took a deep breath and headed over to where he sat.

Tonight, she wore strapless tea-length red and black dress for the occasion. Her black peep toe heeled shoes clicking away as she walked closer.

"Mr. Amalfi?" Cagalli tilted her head whist smiling at him. He looked up to her face and down to what she was wearing and blushed red before standing up, hastily.

"It's a p-pleasure to m-meet you, P-princess. H-here these are for you!" His spoke fast and thrust the roses up to hand them to her whilst using them to hide his face. Cagalli could only smile as she watched the boy struggling to calm himself. Taking the flowers from him, she wrapped her free arm around is and started to lead them to their table. As they walked, Cagalli looked over to the two girls and smirked evilly, whom they in return giggled.

As they sat waiting to be served, Cagalli amused herself by making him turn red and flustered by just smiling at the shy boy. "Well, isn't he the shy one?" Nicol turned more red as Cagalli continued to stare at him. "Awww, he is adorable! I just want to give him a nice big hug. Or maybe…"

"Well, Nicol, what are you going to have?" She asked. He fidgeted in his seat before giving his answer.

"I'm not really that hungry, so I'll just order a small salad."

"I'm not that hungry myself. How about we go back to the lounge area and just sit and chat till we do get hungry?"

"Umm…ok" He replied nervously. Cagalli smiled widely, stood up and took his arm again, wrapping her own around his causing him to look away to hide his face.

When they reached the sofas, Cagalli sat right next to Nicol, causing him to move over. His action was in vain as she followed and kept the distance.

"So, I hear that you play the piano?" She asked. His eyes lit up at the topic and he began to tell her about his career, where and how it started and where it was now. Cagalli watched him intently with interested eyes, but, what were they interested in? Noticing her stare on him he blushed and looked away and started to stutter again. She smiled hiding a small smirk.

"Have you had any intimate relationships with a girl, Nicol?" He blushed harder as she leaned in towards him with a small seductive smirk on his face.

"I ummm… No, not really, I-I've always been to busy." He started to slowly lean back away from her approaching face until she reached out and cupped his cheek in her hand, gently caressing his cheek.

"Awww" she cooed. "What about kissing a girl?" She asked while bringing her body closer to his.

"Y-yes, I've kissed a girl before!" He blurted out nervously. Cagalli chuckled.

"Your mother doesn't count, Nicol." She stated slowly. The red on his cheeks spread and he began to stutter a number of random excuses. She chuckled and let her hand fall to his chest where she grabbed his shirt and pulled him slowly towards her.

"Well, that may change tonight…" She whispered and placed a long kiss on his cheek.

She pulled away to leave about two inches away from his face and grinned. His eyes were wide and his face redder than before. She looked down at his cheek and noticed that her lipstick had come off, staining his cheeks with her lip imprint. Looking back at his eyes, she could tell that he had never been this close to a girl before, he was utterly clueless.

"You're so cute!" She said whilst stroking a finger down his nose and letting out a giggle. Swallowing hard, he stood up abruptly-

"I'm going to get a drink-excuse me!" He did not waited for a reply and rushed off towards the bar area. Cagalli watched him walk away and call himself stupid multiple times. She giggled and muttered something about "innocent and just a kid."

Nicol approached the bar where Kira and Athrun were talking. He waited patiently until he was served.

Ummm…I'll have a coke, please." When Kira turned to look at the boy for the first time, his eyes widened and he smirked. He coughed and scratched his cheek. The naive youngster tilted his head in confusion and turned to a chuckling Athrun and gave him the same look.

"What it is? What's so funny?" He questioned turning slightly pink. Kira and Athrun looked at each other and then back to him.

"Here's your coke and you might need this." Kira handed his drink and a wet napkin. Nicol took the wet napkin and still looked clueless. Kira coughed and scratched his cheek again, this time, he understood and touched his cheeks. He turned scarlet as he felt the stain of lipstick on his cheek. Both Kira and Athrun laughed at him as he shyly wiped the lipstick off.

"Thanks…" Nicol muttered quietly whilst handing back the used napkin.

"No problem, kid." He answered. Athrun turned his body to face the youngster.

"So, who did that to y-" He began until his question was answered.

"What's taking you so long, Nicol?" Cagalli had arrived on the scene. She had approached him from behind and wrapped her arms around the top of his shoulders and placed another long kiss on his cheek again. Athrun' eyes widened at the scene and an odd sensation hit his heart. He looked away from the couple and continued to drink.

"Can I have an apple martini, please Kira?" She asked. The brunette nodded and started making the drink.

"Here you go." As he passed the drink to her, he smirked and shook his head in a disapproving way. Cagalli returned the smirk and turned to Nicol.

"Thanks, Kira. Nicol, can you take my drink back with you to the sofas and I'll be there in a minute." The said boy nodded and walked away. At that moment, Lacus came rushing up to the trio.

"Cagalli! Shame on you!! What did you do to the poor boy?!" She scolded. Cagalli just smirked evilly.

"Go easy on the kid Cags, he's just a boy." Kira smirked. Athrun just remained still, quietly listening.

"Exactly, that's what makes it so much fun." She smirked. "It's so easy since he's as innocent as a 13 year old that just come out of sex education."

"That's not very nice, Cagalli. How would you like it if someone toyed with you like that?" Athrun asked. Cagalli turned and looked at him bluntly.

"It did happen. His name was Dearka Elsman." Kira burst out laughing whilst Lacus tried to contain her giggles. Athrun blinked then smiled and let out a chuckle.

"Touché" he replied. She smiled and turned to head back towards Nicol.

"Be nice, Cagalli." Lacus called to the blonde, who turned and smirked.

After she got back, they both headed off to have dinner. Cagalli would occasionally give Nicol seductive looks, at which he would blush at. She got up and excused herself to go to the bar. Nicol watched her go and order drinks and talk to a pink-haired waitress and a brunette one. Cagalli had just said something that made the pink-haired one shake her head quickly as to say no, whilst the other grinned widely telling her to go for it. Cagalli walked back to the table slowly and seductively. Nicol quickly looked away and continued to scoff his food down as a distraction.

She set the drinks down onto the table and pulled her chair around the table to sit right next to him. Taking his arm she hugged it tightly so that his arm was pressed between her breasts. He swallowed the big lump of food down with difficulty. She placed a few butterfly kisses on his neck.

"Hey,Nicky," She whispered seductively. "How about –kiss- you and I –kiss- go to the bathroom together." She placed more kissed down his jaw line and watched his eyes widen and turn the bright red.

"I umm…better….umm…" He stood up so fast that Cagalli came up with him and lost her balance and fell backwards. Nicol fell down with her because she was still latching onto his arm. The end position was very amusing.

Nicol had been lying on top of Cagalli, between her legs and his lead resting on her breasts. Cagalli had wrapped her arms around his torso and smirked.

"Oh,Nicky! I said the bathroom! You should have told me if you wanted this sooner!" She whispered seductively again. Nicol, blushed even more red and quickly stood up. He began to blurt out something about misunderstanding and apologies. Cagalli watched him desperately make an excuse and could not contain her laughter any further. She let it burst loudly, clutching her aching stomach. Soon enough, Lacus, Miriallia, Kira and Athrun joined in with the laughter. The youngster could only look around in confusion and embarrassment. After the laughter died down, Cagalli stood up and faced Nicol with a big smile on her face.

"I'm sorry, Nicol, but I couldn't help myself. You were just so easy to tease." She chuckled. The poor youngster's face turned into a pout and turned away, even though his face was red.

"I knew something was going on!" He cried. Cagalli just hugged him and kissed him on the top of his head.

"You were really cute though, all innocent and everything." She giggled. He just pouted and turned red even more.

For the rest of the night, Cagalli, Nicol, Athrun, Kira, Lacus and Miriallia talked and joked about Cagalli' passed dates. Giving him a kiss goodbye and wishing him luck on his music career, she went back to the bar to bid good night to her friends.

"Ok, guys, you might not see me next week, so I'll probably see you the week after."

"But, Cagalli, you have a booked a researvation for next week."

"I know, but I don't think I'll turn up for this one, since he's such a freak."

"Come on, Cags, he can't be that bad."

"Oh he is. You'll see what he's like next week. Opps, gotta run, Kisaka' already waiting for me. Bye!"

"Hey, Cags, what's his name?" Kira called.

"Seiran, Yuuna Roma Seiran."
