Soooooooo sorry 4 the dead time between updates!:( hope that u can forgive me!
The commotion had died down after Jason was carted off. Claudia sat on a spare chair oppistie from Nick. Holding out his hand Claudia wiped off the thin lines of blood.
"I can't thank you enough for what you did Nick." Claudia said as she threw the brown paper towel in the rubbish bin
"Don't have to say that." Nick replied and winced slightly as Claudia swabbed an alcohol wipe across the wounded skin.
"Sorry." apologized Claudia taking a plaster from the First Aid kit. She put it over the wound and threw the wrapper and backing out. She was about to stand up when Nick reached out with his uninjured hand. Gripping her hand Claudia turned her head back to him
"Something wrong?" she asked
looking at her Nick felt his stomach twist in ways he hadn't felt for years.
Butterfly's I'm actually getting butterfly's he thought as he looked at the young woman come on its now or never
"I... I want to..." he stammered trying to choke the words out. And Claudia's confused face didn't help him feel confident a breath he continued " I want to have drinks with you again." The words finely slipped out and he swallowed hard. Looking at Claudia he saw her face go from confused to shocked and finely a slight smile appeared on her pale face
"Are you asking me on a date professor?" the words came out and Nick let out a little laugh
"Yes a real date no pretending, no sister, no crazy ex's." nick replied blue eyes sparkling. Claudia smiled even more and felt her heart rise into her throat with excitement.
" Yeah, why not."
The two gave each other a final smile and then stood up. Holding the door open for Claudia the pair left the pub. Walking out down the sidewalk they dodged the puddles that formed at their time inside. A large van rolled passed and Nick pushed Claudia back as a spray of rain water jetted over the pavement. The stone was cold and rough against Claudia's bare shoulders. Nick's hands were warm on her bare arms and she felt the tingle of the touch run through her body making her stomach feel hot.
Close he's so close the thought ran around in her mind as she looked up at the Scotsmen. Looking back at her Nick found himself not wanting to move
It's just so perfect just so right the little space between them soon became less. Nick unconsciously began to descend and Claudia moved in quickly. The lips met and instantly the two moved closer. Looping her arms around his neck Claudia pulled herself closer and Nick's arms went around her waist. The two continued to kiss and when their bodies needed air they broke. Pressing Claudia against the stone wall Nick rested his forehead on the top of her head.
"you know your gonna have to pass my house to get to yours." he whispered
"You know where I live?" Claudia asked
"Do you not like that?"
"Well not anymore." Claudia replied back and grinned as pushed off the wall grasping Nicks hand. She lead him to her car and quickly turned the ignition on. Nick gave her directions and Claudia soon found herself in front of a nice two story house. Nick pushed the door open as soon as the car came to a stop. Claudia opened the door with the same vigor and Nick practically yanked her out of the car .Giggling like a schoolgirl the two hurried toward the door. Nick fumbled with the key and the heavy door popped open and the pair fell into the home entry. Running up the stairs Nick bumped the ajar bedroom door open and pulled Claudia in
"You real want to do this?" he asked
Claudia didn't need to respond. The kiss she pulled Nick into was enough.
