Chapter Two
The next morning Nikki awoke to a space in the double bed, a cold breeze allowing its way through the summer duvet as where the missing person should have been sleeping the layers of comfort had been moved. Nikki moved around trying to find a warmth space in the bed, feeling the softness of the materials sink into her skin before finally deciding to get out of bed and go in search of her husband.
As Nikki tip toed into the kitchen, feeling the cold tiles hit the sensitive skin on her feet a small shriek came out of her mouth. She walked up to the bathroom checking for Harry, no sign. She kept searching around the apartment, no sign. She sighed before sitting down onto the leather sofa and switched the news on and began watching intensively, she found watching the news in the morning to be a wake up and also expressed any worldly concerns of the day.
The sound of the front door closing shock Nikki and caused her to disengage in the TV. Seeing her husband stood there holding two cups of coffee in his hands and a bag which by the smell which was quickly filling the apartment smelt like croissants. He met her at the sofa, kissing her cheek before sitting down and began handing out the drinks and foods as they cuddled enjoying the morning sun as it came through the window and watched the remaining news before it was time to head out for work.
Nikki looked towards the watch located on her wrist seeing it was now quarter to eight in the morning. She sighed, gently nudging Harry to tell him it was time they were leaving. As Nikki quickly went and got changed into something more approiately then pyjamas, and Harry cleared away their breakfast recycling the paper bag it came into.
"I'll meet you in the car Niks" Harry shouted through, judging the "Hmm" she responded with meant yes, okay.
As Nikki hurried up getting dressed, she put on a lightly coloured dress, allowing the material to hang glowinging off her body, and tied the small ribbon which came with the dress around her waist showing off her perfect figure. She picked out at random some heels, only small but enough to show her femime side and pulled a bag placing the usual's such as wipes, phone, chewing gum and of course keys and money. She locked up the house before quickly running down the stairs and allowed herself into Harry's car before he drove away.
They arrived at the lab on time, Harry pulling Nikki into a tight hug and a firm kiss before the departed their separate ways and into their own excellent cases for the day. Leo greeted them seeing they still had that new marriage blues, it only reminded him of how happy he was when he was married to which he kept quiet, Nikki felt guilty whenever she brought up anything that reminded Leo of his past, he tried so much every day to forget, sometimes too much.
"Nikki, a new case has come in? Want it?" Leo asked, he had the piece of paper in his hand with the details on he had just received over the phone. Nikki nodded and allowed Leo to hand her the paper, as she excitedly put on her coat and grabbed her bag heading for the door.
"Bye Nikki" Harry laughed, she didn't respond as she was already rushing out the door before she heard him.
Leo came over, a slight laugh in sound of his voice. He always wanted them together, they were so suited, it only annoyed him they took so long to get together. They spent every day together and yet they couldn't realise till something happened.
"What you thinking about Leo?" Harry distracted Leo from his heavy thinking, his expression giving away the lost look in his eyes.
Leo sighed. He sat down on the chair next to Harry ready to tell his friend and colleague how he really felt. "I'm missing how it feels to be happy, to be in a relationship, seeing you two makes me miss it" he half smiled, not wanting to upset his friend but at the same time want him to know he confided in him.
"All I can say is, it's your life Leo, if you want that go get it. I got it, you can get it. Don't tell Nikki I referred as "getting her" she'll give me one of those massive lectures on how she's a person not a thing and is worth more than an prize" Harry laughed as did Leo.
