New Years day:
He sets the telescope up in his room. He plays with the magnify power extension. "Wow look at this thing. I can see forever." He sees an apartment complex. "I wonder." He moves the scope a few times looking into windows. "Nothing exciting. Everyone's in the square watching the ball come down. Hey wait." He sees someone entering a room. "It is just a man. Damn I thought it would be a woman so I could spy but just my luck it's a man's house." Then he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. "My luck, my luck is changing." A blond woman he knew to well walked into the room. "It can't be her." Niles said. "It just can't be. If she would just step a little closer to the window I could tell, but the cloths, the hair they do match hers." The woman was talking to this man. "Damn I can't hear them. To bad that this doesn't come with radar extensions." He watched a few words crossed her lips. The man walked to the other side of the room.
"What was that about? Oh," Niles mind already knew the answer to his question. "She's going to get lucky tonight. I see. I…." he was about to turn from the telescope, when he noticed her on the phone. "It looks like she's yelling at someone. Who could she be calling at this time, she's about to have sex with a guy and she's on the phone? With who room service possibly. I don't really want to do know what she has planned if I can't be part of it." He went to this bed and sat down. He let out a sigh. "I wish…" a thought hit him. "I want her…." he picked up the phone. "Let's have someone catch her in the act hee hee hee. I know it's not nice but…. She plays with my heart, so I will play with hers. And besides it's almost New Year. Let's ring off the new year with a bang."
He picks up the phone. "One call is all that it should take." Sirens blasted into the night air. Niles raced back to the chair with the telescope. CC was pacing back and forth. Niles noticed the man picked up shirt and ran from her. Niles kept an eye on where he was going. 'I guess he has had run ins with the police before. Oh well," he smiled, Niles' gaze followed the man running down the fire escape right in front of his view. "Scared cat. So much for being lucky," he laughed knowing he saved her. "The treat is gone for now. good night my…my…what is she to me? An obsession?" He climbed into his bed and looked at his clock. 12:01 am. "Happy, happy New Year." He shouted. "It will be now and forever." He smiled as he clicked off his lamp. "Now I can rest easy. Thank you Sarah. You… You know me too well…."
"Happy New Year." Niles said as he served up breakfast to the family. Niles' mind: Couldn't be any better. He smiled. That was until the door to the mansion slammed shut from the den. CC stomped her way to the dinning room.
"Niles." she yelled first thing.
"What? You don't have to yell at me." Niles, coming back into the dinning room from being in the kitchen.
"Get me something hard." She stomped her foot down.
"I don't." he started to protest and went back into the kitchen. She followed him.
"Now,"
"But it's not."
"It's five o'clock somewhere, now get it." she turned to go to the office. "Put it in my coffee. I'll be in the office."
"What's with her?" Fran questioned as she entered the kitchen as well. "She must not have had a good night."
"No telling." Niles smiled; he knew what happened last night. Niles' mind: I have to protect her. I…just have too.
