A/N: Okay I know a long time since an update but like I said in my other story I've been busy with Family, School and Work! Im going out of town on the 6 til the 14 so no updates between there! Anyway hope you like! I think you will.
"Okay Sam what about this one?" Courtney said holding up a red dress to her.
"Um no!" Sam said.
"Ooo Sam this one!" Courtney said holding up a black dress.
"Courtney you dont look right in black." Sam said looking at her.
"I wasnt talking about me! I was talking about you!" Courtney said looking at her.
"And then get a little mask to go with it!" Courtney said smiling.
"Okay I will get that only if I can pick out yours!" Sam said looking at her.
Courtney was ify but knew Sam would have at least a tab of best interest for Courtney in mind.
"Fine." Courtney said.
"Great! I have a dress in mind!" Sam said walking away.
She looked down at Ethan who looked back at her.
"What in the world did I get myself into?" Courtney asked the little boy who laughed.
"Yeah I know!" She said as she pushed it to go find Sam.
"This!" Sam said once Courtney found her.
"No." Courtney said instantly.
"Why not?" Sam asked her.
"Um okay first off its short. Like really short!" Courtney said looking at her.
"Nikolas will like." Sam said as Courtney rolled her eyes.
"And second its white and now Im not going!" Courtney said looking at Sam.
"Why?" Sam asked loudly.
Courtney just looked at her.
"I was going to have a good time! Not to please Nikolas in anything I wore." Courtney said back to her.
"Oh please honey!" Sam said.
"Now try this on!" She finished as she pushed Courtney into the dressing room and threw the dress at her and shut the door quickly.
Five minutes later the door slowly opened.
"About time!" Sam said as Ethan just laughed.
"I dont know." Courtney said creeping out.
"Oh my god!" Sam squealed as she got up out of the chair.
"Courtney its gorgeous! You have to get it and then get a cute white mask and oh my god you would look smoking!" Sam said looking at her.
"I dont know if I even want to go." Courtney said looking at her.
"Too late now lets go pay!" Sam said as she pushed her back in there and waited.
They found their shoes and the rest of their accessories and then headed back to the house.
"Hey!" Nikolas said as they walked in the living room.
"Hey." they replied in unison.
"Find anything?" He asked them.
"Maybe but you wont see til later!" Sam said as she grabbed Courtney's arm and walked upstairs with her to get ready.
"They are strange!" Nikolas said to the little boy who sat on the floor now.
He just cooed at his daddy.
"Do you want to go to see grandma today?" Nikolas asked his son who smiled at him.
"I take it thats a yes." He replied as he lifted the little boy up off of the floor.
"Since you's are still getting ready Im dropping Ethan off! You's better be ready when I get back!" Nikolas yelled at the door as they hollered something back at him but it wasnt clear.
Thirty minutes later and he was back knocking on the door.
"We are coming! God!" Sam yelled as he heard her say something to Courtney.
He rolled his eyes and walked down the steps.
Two minutes later the brunette and blonde were walking down the steps with jackets on.
"Ready?" Nikolas asked them.
"Yup!" Sam said looking at him as Courtney nodded her head.
They arrived at Metro Court shortly after.
Sam went ahead.
She had her eye on a certain blonde hair blue eyes that said he would meet her there.
"May I take your jacket miss?" the person asked Courtney.
"Sure." she said as she pulled off the long jacket.
Boy did she look gorgeous.
Nikolas caught himself staring a little longer then he should have but not as long as he would have liked too.
She looked like an angel. A goddess in that short white dress.
She smiled shyly not realizing what he was thinking.
"Wanna dance?" he asked her.
She looked at him.
Should she say yes? Or should she go find somebody else?
She was confused on what to do.
"Sure." she said as he grabbed her hand and they made their way on the dance floor.
They danced for a while as the party began to fade out of people.
One by one did they leave.
When only about twenty people were left Sam came up to Courtney.
"Im borrowing her!" Sam said grabbing her arm and pulling her away.
"Okay you might think lowly of me after this but Im going with Jason to his place." Sam said looking at her.
"Okay." Courtney said wondering why Sam would tell her.
"Yeah I just wanted to tell you that way you wouldnt worry and tonight its just you and Nikolas! Take advantage of that babe!" Sam said walking away before Courtney could protest.
Courtney rolled her eyes and made her way back over to Nikolas.
"Its kinda late! Want to go back now?" Nikolas asked Courtney while looking at her.
"Sure." She replied as he grabbed her hand and walked her out.
Most of the car ride home was silent.
Very little words exchanged.
They were leaving Ethan with Laura for the night so they didn't have to go pick him up.
She pulled the mask off her face and looked over at Nikolas who just happened to be looking at her.
"Got tired of wearing it huh?" he said.
"Yeah. It was starting to bother me." Courtney said looking down at the curls hung in front of her shoulders.
They got on the launch and didn't stand to close yet too far away from one another.
He looked over at her as she looked at him and smiled.
Within an instant she found herself getting closer to him and leaning into him.
He gently placed his hand on her cheek and leaned into her.
Their lips touched as she felt his hand go to the back of her neck.
She knew this wasnt right but didn't pull away.
It felt different from the first kiss they have ever shared.
It was a mixture of lust and this feeling she couldn't describe if she tried.
The launch stopped before either one knew it.
Nikolas slowly broke away as both his hands were placed on her face as he breathed in and out.
He looked into her eyes and smiled as she did the same back.
He grabbed her hand and led her off of the launch and walked into the house and shut the door.
Not two seconds later did he pull her back into a kiss.
They made their way into the living room recklessly.
She wrapped her arms around his neck as his went right around her waist.
He pushed her up against the desk.
She felt her heart beat hundred times faster then it have ever before.
Her stomache turned into a mixture of butterflies and knots.
He felt the tension and stopped kissing her for a second and looked into her blue eyes.
"Relax." he said softly against her lips.
She nodded her head in agreement.
Something didn't feel right.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked her.
He didn't want her to do something she didn't want to do.
"Positive." she said back to him as he smiled at her.
He couldn't resist her any longer.
He had already for too long and was tired of waiting.
He gently laid her back as he continued to kiss her.
Time past and she was laying next to him on the floor with a blanket.
Taking in everything that happened she wasnt sure where this would lead too.
Would they act like this never happen?
Would he leave Emily for her?
She wasnt sure and didn't want to think about her chances of getting hurt.
It hurt bad enough just thinking about it.
She laid there with his arm wrapped around her thinking.
What was between them?
Was it lust? Or more?
