She woke up the next morning by rolling over and feeling a body.
She thought for a minute there that she had fallen asleep with Ethan so she quickly jumped up.
She looked over and it wasnt Ethan but there was somebody beside her that wasnt wearing a shirt.
"Ahhh!" She screamed because it was way to early to be dealing with this.
She knew she didn't fall asleep with anybody last night.
"Courtney!" The dark hair man said as he busted through her doors.
"Whats wrong?" He asked her out of breath.
"Wh- who is this?" She asked pointing to the person beside her out of breath. She was startled.
Nikolas couldn't tell from where he was standing because the person had their face in the pillow.
Nikolas walked over and began to laugh.
"This isnt funny! Who is he?" Courtney said almost shaking now.
"Its just Bernie." Nikolas said looking at her.
"What the hell is he doing in my bed?" Courtney asked him.
Nikolas just smiled at her before hitting Bernie in the arm.
"Ouch! Why the fuck did you do that-" Bernie asked as he had to look up to see who it was.
"Nikolas." He finished before putting his head back on his pillow.
"What are you doing in Courtney's bed let alone room?" Nikolas asked him.
Bernie just smiled at Nikolas.
"She looked like she could use company. She looked lonely and since you weren't laying with her I figured why not?" Bernie said.
"Courtney doesn't want anybody laying with her though." Nikolas responded.
"How do you know?" Bernie asked Nikolas giving him a look by raising his right eye higher then the left one.
"Because I asked. I'll ask again. Courtney do you want anybody laying with you?" Nikolas asked her.
Courtney shook her head no.
"See?" Nikolas exclaimed looking at his cousin.
Every family had a cousin Bernie their name might not have been Bernie but you had one!
"Fine! Im leaving!" Bernie said as he pushed the blankets off of him to reveal that he was only wearing boxers.
It must have ran in the family cause thats all that Nikolas was wearing and Courtney just noticed but hey she wasnt complaining about him.
This was the first time she had seen him though without a shirt on.
"We wouldnt expect anything less from you." Nikolas replied as Bernie walked out.
"Sorry about that." Nikolas replied as he sat down beside her on the bed.
"It wasnt your fault. Believe me." Courtney said rolling her eyes as Nikolas laughed.
"Is Ethan up?" Courtney asked looking over at him breaking the silence that came over them.
"Yeah. He's been up. Alexis and Sonny decided to take him with them when they took the girls out this morning." Nikolas replied looking at her.
"What time is it?" Courtney asked him.
"Its like ten thirty. I fell asleep after Alexis took him." Nikolas said as he smiled at her.
"You should have woke me up when he got up. I would have stayed with him." Courtney exclaimed.
"No its fine. You deserve a break every now and then." Nikolas responded.
"Yeah but Im suppose to be his nanny. I get paid for watching him. Or did you forget that?" She asked him as she looked at him.
"Naw. I didn't forget I just thought that you know, that everybody deserves a break and today would be yours." Nikolas answered.
She smiled at him. "Im still kind of tired actually." She said looking at him.
"Me too." He answered back.
"Its the time difference. Its getting to us." He said as she laughed.
"Yeah." was all she could say to respond.
"Who's all here?" Courtney asked him.
"Well, Sonny and Alexis took Kristina, Adella and Ethan out. Not exactly sure where. Sam is still asleep. Stefan and Katharine are out on the boat; We probably wont see them again before we leave tomorrow, My grandmother I have no idea where she is and Bernie is probably passed out in the hallway." Nikolas answered as she laughed.
"Want to watch a movie with me since theres nothing else to do or did you have other plans?" Courtney asked him.
"No I dont. I was getting ready to suggest a movie to you actually." He said looking at him.
"Really? What movie?" Courtney answered.
"I dont know. What do you want to watch?" He replied.
"I dont care." She answered. "Comedy? Horror? No chick flicks please." He replied.
"Comedy." She exclaimed.
"Okay. I have just the movie then." He said as he got up and walked out of the room.
Two minutes later he was back in with a movie in his hand.
"What is it?" She asked him.
"It is Madea's Family Reunion. By Tyler Perry you know?" Nikolas asked while putting it in.
"Yeah I know who you are talking about." Courtney responded as he walked back over to the bed and sat down beside her.
"Have you already seen it?" He asked her.
"The play." she answered.
"Those are funny too." He replied as she nodded her head.
They were silent until the movie came on.
Thirty minutes into it and they were both passed out on the bed.
"Where's Courtney at?" Alexis asked Sam as she came through the door in the kitchen.
"Still asleep I guess. I haven't seen her since I've been up." Sam exclaimed shoving a spoonful of cereal into her mouth.
"And Nikolas?" Alexis asked.
"Do I look like Im their mother! I haven't seen him either." Sam exclaimed with a mouthful of food.
"How long have you been up?" Alexis asked her as it was now one twenty.
"Ten minutes." Sam answered looking at the back of the box.
"No wonder why you dont know anything." Alexis exclaimed as she began walking away.
"No I dont know because Im not nosey like you!" Sam shouted as Alexis walked out of the room.
"Sam is awake but doesn't know anything." Alexis exclaimed to her husband.
"She never knows anything except gossip." Sonny replied looking at her realizing that wasnt smart to say.
"Well just look upstairs or do you want me too?" Sonny asked her.
"I'll go." Alexis said letting out of a huff and walking up the steps.
She walked down the hallway and saw Bernie passed out in front of the door and he wasnt their earlier.
"Bernie!" Alexis said shouting to wake him up.
"Huh?" He quickly jumped up and asked.
"Why are you asleep in the hallway?" Alexis asked him.
"I dont know." he replied looking at her.
"Is Courtney still asleep?" Alexis asked him.
"She wasnt this morning. You should have heard her screaming." Bernie said with a smile.
"Please tell me you did not sleep with Courtney." Alexis said.
"No. She was screaming for Nikolas." Bernie answered.
"They- Why was she screaming?" Alexis asked not really sure if she wanted the answered.
"I think I scared her. I was asleep beside her and next thing I know she screams and Nikolas busted down the door like he was the police or something and I was doing something wrong." Bernie replied.
"Courtney didn't know you were sleeping beside her did she?" Alexis asked.
"No." He answered.
"Well thats what was wrong." Alexis replied as she shook her head in dismay.
She opened the door that creaked when she did.
She quickly saw movement on the bed and she thought that she had woke Courtney up.
Alexis made her way towards the bed and then realized there was two body's in there.
She could tell who the other body was but couldn't tell if he had any clothes on or not.
She began walking back towards the door when somebody spoked.
"You back already?" A voice said as she quickly turned around.
"Yeah. Sorry to wake you." Alexis replied silently.
"No its fine. I've got to get up anyway." Nikolas answered back as he watched her leave and then turned to the blonde beside him.
"Courtney!" He said softly.
"Mmm?" Came from her mouth as her eyes were still closed.
"Its late." he replied.
"What?" She said confused. "Its after one." He replied.
"Oh damn!" She replied as she shot up in the bed and looked over at him.
She didn't realize that she had fallen back asleep with Nikolas beside her.
"Did you find them hon?" Sonny asked her as she made her way down the steps .
"Yes I did." Alexis said with a grin.
It was hard for her not to smile after just witnessing that.
She swore they had sex.
"Why are you so happy?" Sonny asked.
"Well Bernie was asleep in the hallway and I open the room Courtney was in and her and Nikolas are both asleep on her bed. And they aren't on opposite sides but close and was facing each other." Alexis said.
"Are you saying Nikolas banged his nanny?" Sam asked walking in the room.
"Samantha!" Alexis said.
"Oh excuse me. Let me rephrase that. Are you mother saying that Nikolas and his nanny Courtney had- whats the dictionary word for it?" Sam said thinking out loud.
"Oh yeah! Sexual intercourse. Thats it!" Sam exclaimed as Alexis threw her a dirty look.
"This is why I wanna go home with Nikolas." Sam said walking past her mother and flopped down on the couch.
"I hope he kicks you out and makes you get a job because you are so lazy!" Alexis said as she walked past her oldest daughter who stuck her tongue out at her.
"You act like the four year old and Kristina acts like the eighteen year old." Alexis exclaimed as Sonny paid no attention.
He didn't get in the middle of their fights.
"Yeah I bet she does." Sam responded as two sets of footsteps made their way down the steps.
Everybody turned around and saw that it was Nikolas and Courtney.
They were getting strange looks. "What?" Nikolas asked looking around.
"Oh nothing." Alexis quickly exclaimed.
"Where is Ethan at?" Courtney asked and then heard a cooing noise.
"Hey little guy." Courtney said bending down to pick him up. Ethan just laughed at her.
"How are you doing? Did you have fun today?" Courtney asked him as he continue to smile at him.
"I think you need a diaper change." Courtney said as she started smelling something.
She crinkled her nose and it made Ethan laugh.
"Im going to change him." Courtney replied as she began walking up the steps and Nikolas nodded his head and sat down beside Sam.
"Im going to start lunch now." Alexis said.
"Can we go outside daddy?" Kristina asked.
"Sure." Sonny said as he grabbed the littlest one and they walked out the door
"Whats going on?" Nikolas asked as Sam just looked at him and smile . She laughed.
"You dont want to know." She replied.
"And you want to stay here." Nikolas responded.
"So much for nothing going on between you and Courtney eh?" Sam said.
"Whats that suppose to mean?" Nikolas asked her.
"Oh everybody knows, well just me, mom and Sonny that is, hat you so- let me say it the way I had to say it earlier." Sam said.
"Oh had sexual intercourse with your nanny!" She said with a smile as Nikolas just laughed.
"Me and Courtney did not have sex." Nikolas responded.
"Hey I aint one to judge. Everybody deserves some booty sometime or another." Sam said as she stood up and walked up the steps.
Later that night at dinner it was quiet.
Really quiet for the Cassadine family.
Alexis had a hard time not smiling and Bernie had a hard time not thinking of Courtney.
Sonny was happy that it was quiet and Courtney had no idea what was going on while Sam just wanted tomorrow to come so she could get the hell out of this country.
Nikolas could not believe they all thought him and Courtney had sex.
Helena knew something was going on but didn't know what.
"What is going on?" Helena asked.
"Nothing." most of the table responded.
Another silence came over the table and every time Nikolas looked up somebody was looking at him.
"Oh my god!" He said dropping his fork on his plate.
"What?" Bernie said.
"Dont what me!" Nikolas responded as he stood up.
"Stop giving me these looks like I did something wrong." Nikolas exclaimed as Bernie and Sonny snickered and not quietly either.
"Courtney and I did not have sex this morning so everybody can forget that and Bernie just get that image out of your head!" Nikolas exclaimed as it got really quiet and Courtney blushed.
She was the only one who didn't know thats what was going on.
"Why would anybody think that?" Helena asked.
"Because when Alexis walked in Courtney's room earlier I was sleeping beside her and I guess from where I had the blanket on top of me she couldn't see my boxers and thought I was naked and we had sex." Nikolas replied as Sam laughed.
"Now everybody can go back to eating their dinner." Nikolas responded as he picked up his fork and began eating again as the three little ones giggled because they had no clue to what was going on.
When dinner was done Courtney walked onto the balcony.
"Sorry about what happened at dinner." Nikolas said walking up behind her.
"Its fine. Im glad you knew what was going on. I didn't have the slightest clue." Courtney said startled.
"Yeah I got it from the weakest link of the family that knew." Nikolas said with a smile.
"Sam?" She asked as he nodded his head. She just smiled at him.
"We go home tomorrow or back to Port Charles I should say for you." Nikolas said as he leaned on the railing.
"No you had it right. Home. The first and only place that I could ever call home and actually mean it. A home isnt just four walls that your mail goes too. Thats a house" she started saying.
"A home is where theres love and thats all you need to get by. You dont need fancy cars or butlers just family. Even the crazy ones like cousin Bernie." Courtney said looking at him as he tried hard not to laugh.
"You are absolutely right." Nikolas said as his hand went around the nape of her neck. She just smiled at him.
"If you ask me your father is the one that needs to be taught a lesson." He said softly.
"No. I use to be very self centered and never realized it because I was always like that." Courtney responded letting a tear go.
She looked down at the ground because it was painful to admit thats how she use to be.
"Thats the old Courtney though. I never seen anybody care so much about Ethan as much as you do." He said trying to cheer her up.
"I have." She replied quietly. "Who?" Nikolas asked her curiously.
"His wonderful father." She replied looking up at him as he smiled.
He looked into her eyes before pulling away.
"Hey look. A shooting star. Make a wish!" Nikolas said pointing in the sky.
"I think thats an air plane." Courtney responded looking at him.
"Oh well. Make a wish anyway." Nikolas responded as she just laughed.
"Okay." She said as she closed her eyes and made a wish.
She opened them up and looked at him.
"Finished?" Nikolas asked her as she nodded her head yes.
Their eyes locked.
She looked into his brown ones and smiled as he did the same in her blues one.
He began to lean forward as she did the same and closed her eyes.
He closed his right before their lips met.
She slowly lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck as his made their way down to her waist.
"Nikolas!" Sam said not realizing what they were doing as she made her way out there.
