Don't own anything.
Don looked at them, "You two?" They nodded and he turned to Liz, "You. You like girls?"
Liz nodded again, "Love changes people, you know that Don."
He smiled, "I'll admit I'm surprised, but I'm happy for you two. Have fun telling everyone else, my lips are sealed."
Grinning, he left the room and Nikki turned to her, "Well, that was interesting."
Liz leaned against the counter, "Ya, but I'm worried about everyone else."
"You're the one who thought we should tell people."
"Ya, I'm still worried though, just because three people are happy doesn't mean everyone else is."
Nikki smiled, "They will be, now let's go and get it done with." She held out her hand, "Okay."
Liz slowly smiled, and allowed Nikki to lead this time.
Partway during supper, Amita looked over at Nikki and Liz, there was nothing in their behaviour that would make anyone suspect they were more than friends. Though, now that Amita knew it was easier to pick up on things, she saw the little touches and stolen glances.
Hopefully, they wouldn't have to hide it for much longer, Amita decided to give them an opening.
She caught their eyes and smiled, "You guys want to say something?"
Liz and Nikki gave her a small smile, then stood up together.
Nikki leaned close to Liz's ear, "You should say it."
Liz nodded and looked at their friends, "We're dating."
The room went quiet as everyone besides Charlie, Amita, and Don looked at them.
Larry and Alan seemed to take it the best, Alan nodded, "Okay. Unexpected, but it works."
Larry smiled, "Good for you. I think I'll get used to it soon."
Colby nodded, "Okay, that explains why you two have been spending a lot of time together."
David smiled, "Good for you two. I think it's going to be awkward for a bit, but it'll work."
Nikki smiled, "Thanks. That means a lot."
As they were driving away, Liz smiled, "That wasn't so bad Nikki.''
Since there was no response, she continued, "They all were accepting."
When Nikki didn't respond, she looked over, Nikki was asleep, head against the window.
Liz's smile got bigger, "Night Nikki."
