OK, so I am INSANELY happy about my exam results (except biology, but that can just rot in a corner – I'm focusing on the good results) – if you follow me on Twitter, I'm sure you've already seen the tweets about my results, how sad of me. So, as a result, this chapter is pure fluff, no drama, no Michael, none of that shit. It's set the night after the last chapter. & yes, it's short, but it's more of a filler chapter!

Please review, as I'm unsure of whether people are reading this still, and it puts me off updating!

I'd told Nikki to go and sit in the living room whilst I got things ready, placing the cutlery in the right places, smoothing out the table cloth, and perfecting our meal. I really wanted to take her mind off of the argument she had with Michael, and I thought this would be a perfect way to start it. I wasn't exactly a perfect cook, being a business woman I never really had the time to learn, or to even bother practising, I always hired someone. However, this was different. It wasn't for me, it was for Nik.

I quickly scanned the room, double checking that everything was in the right place, allowing my OCD to go a little crazy. I wanted it to be perfect, it had to be perfect. Then, I proceeded to walk into the living room, where my beautiful girlfriend was sitting on the sofa, phone in one hand, pen in the other, quickly scribbling something down on a pupils work. It was a cute sight to see, but also a worrying one. I hated seeing her stressed. When I stressed, I could easily sort it out; a quick call to Tanya to change a booking, a quick cheque to sort out a problem, easily done. However, when Nikki was stressed, it usually involved Michael, or a troublesome pupil, and there was nothing you could do about that, people never changed, no matter what they promise.

Walking up behind her, I wrapped my arms around her neck, kissing her hair, smelling her shampoo, watching as she dropped her pen and placed her phone on my pristine table.

"Hey, Nik" I mumbled, as I proceeded to kiss the back of her neck, hearing her sigh slightly at the feel of my lips on her skin.

"Hey Lor… You've returned" she replied, giggling slightly, placing her hands over mine. I refused to succumb to her flirtatious voice, so I quickly mumbled a reply before wandering back into the kitchen, where I'd hope she'd follow, secretly knowing she would.

Grabbing her hand as soon as she walked in, I escorted her to her seat, and pushed her chair in for her after she'd sat down, hoping I wasn't being too cheesy or that I wasn't making some sort of stupid mistake. After all, I was used to someone treating me, not the other way around. Still, this was all a part of being 'human' I guess, although some people really didn't act like this at all. They picked who they wanted to be nice to, and wore a look of disgust when dealing with the rest. Shaking the thought out of my head, I knelt down slightly and kissed her, just quickly. I had to keep her wanting more, I had to keep her on her toes tonight. As soon as my lips left hers, I walked over and sat down opposite her, taking a quick moment to just look at her. Nikki always told me how lucky SHE was to have gotten a chance with someone like me, but I always felt like I was the lucky one. Finding someone that would put up with my personality was hard. My eyes suddenly met with Nikki's, and I quickly blushed and averted them, a little embarrassed that I'd gotten caught staring, and I got on with eating my meal, with Nikki copying my actions.

"Wow, Lo, I'm impressed! I didn't realise you could cook so well!" Nikki blurted out, winking in the process, driving me crazy. I smiled back at her and shuffled a little closer to her on the sofa, placing my glass of wine on the table in the process.

"There's still many hidden things you don't know about me, Ms Boston." I whispered back in reply, still shuffling closer to her, getting so close that we could touch, my hand wrapping around hers, pulling her closer.

Nikki pulled my chin up slightly, giving her access to my lips, pushing hers onto mine. One kiss, two, three, then she moved on to my neck, sucking slightly at certain points, earning a slight moan from me. I moved so that I was stradding her, my mouth placed next to her ear. I was ready to say it.

"Nik…?" I asked, trying to sound as confident as I could, given the circumstances.

"Yes?"

"I… I love you" I whispered into her ear, smiling as I said it. Feeling proud that I'd said it.

Waiting. Still waiting. Nothing was said. I pulled back slightly so I could look at her properly.

I hadn't really got anything to worry about, her smile was so big, it made me melt inside.

"I love you too, Lo" she replied, kissing me, passionately.

Tonight was going to be good.

Sorry that last part sucks I'M SORRY but tired.
