"What do you mean there are no rooms? I have a reservation."

"Miss, I'm sorry we don't see a record of your reservation. We can try to find around hotel around but everything is pretty much booked up with the special photo shoot coming up."

Nikolas stepped in

"Thank You."

"Come on Nadine. It doesn't look like your staying here tonight. Just come back to Wyndamere for tonight."

Nadine was angry. The last thing she wanted to do was be alone with Nikolas in his big castle on her first night back in Port Charles. But it looked like she had no alternative.

"Fine, it looks like I have no choice; but Nikolas, don't think for one minute things are okay between the two of us. They certainly are not," Nadine angrily fumed.

Nikolas nodded his head and picked up her luggage to put it into the trunk. They both walked to the car and he put her luggage into the car. He was about to go to her side of the car but he noticed she was already inside so he ran to the driver side and started the car and drove off.

The car was absolutely silent. Not a word was muttered between the two of them. Nikolas wanted to continue their conversation from before but thought better of it. Nikolas had noticed how her attitude had changed from before. She had been the same old sweet Nadine. The Nadine he had remembered: Understanding, lovely, kind hearted. But in a matter of minutes she had changed to an angry cold person. Nikolas knew she did not want to be with him tonight, especially at Wyndamere. He hated the fact that she was so angry with him. He knew he deserved everything she was dishing out. He knew he really had hurt her; but Nikolas was determined to get through to her. Change the person before him from a cold distant person to the warm person he knew all too well. He needed to put that beautiful smile back on her face.

Nikolas and Nadine got out of the car and waited for the launch to come. Still standing in silence he wanted her to just say anything at all but she wouldn't. He was thinking how unlike her to be so silent. She was usually the one that felt the need to fill the air with words. Standing he was thinking of another time when they were waiting for the launch. He was remembering the time when he had the brain tumor and they had just come from the Haunted Star. They were waiting after he offered to give her some tips regarding gambling. He remembered how beautiful she looked in that strapless dress; she always looked beautiful no matter what she wore. Now that time seemed like a lifetime ago. That time in his life was so dark and it was before he realized he had any feelings for Nadine. He got snapped out of his thoughts when the launch approached. They both went on and awaited their descent to Spoon Island.

Nadine stood on the launch thinking how she never thought she would be heading back to this place ever again. Before she came back she had accepted the fact that her and Nikolas would just never happen. She had been thinking about the way she has been acting since they left the hotel. She didn't want to be so rude; but she felt she needed to distance herself from Nikolas. Nikolas broke her heart when he chose Rebecca over her. Now Nadine needed to protect herself and her heart. She didn't want to be this close to Nikolas again. He always had this effect of her. When she decided to come back to Port Charles she didn't expect to really be spending time with Nikolas. Yes, she knew she would run into him eventually and she would be civil towards him. The last thing she expected was to spend her first night at Wyndamere.

Nikolas couldn't help but notice her curly hair blowing in the wind and how the moonlight hit her face. He always loved her hair. He loved touching it; loving the satin touch and kissing the top of her head. He noticed her shivering a bit in the cold October air. He took off his jacket and came up behind her placing it on her shoulders. Nikolas heart raced with the thought of being so close to Nadine. He missed this and all he wanted to do was to turn her around and kiss her like there was no tomorrow.

Nadine was standing and staring out into the water. She was trying to do anything so she didn't have to look at Nikolas. She felt the chilly air finally hit her and she shivered a bit. All the sudden she felt warmth. She felt his jacket on her shoulders and felt his hand on her body. She couldn't help but revel in the fact of him being so close. All of the sudden she felt his hands on her hair smoothing it like he did so many times before. She closed her eyes enjoying the feeling.

"Don't, Nikolas."

"Don't what?"

Nadine turned around them being mere inches apart.

"Please don't touch me like nothing has happened."

Nikolas couldn't help but notice her eyes so full of hurt and pain. He hated he was the one that put all that hurt into her eyes. All he wanted to do was kiss her eyelids so all the hurt would melt away by the warmth of his lips. His eyes went to her lips staring at them. He missed the taste and warmth of her beautiful lips. He missed every feeling and sensation he got in his body when his lips were on hers. Her lips looked so tempting; so full and sweet. He couldn't stand it anymore his lips need to be on hers. He needed to take the chance he didn't know when he would get another opportunity like this again.

Nadine saw the look in his eyes and recognized it; a look she saw so many times before. She saw him looking at her lips. He always stared at her lips just as he was about to kiss her. She didn't know what to do; she couldn't tear her eyes from his. She knew she shouldn't let him kiss her but she wanted it so much. He leaned in just as their lips were about to touch the launched stopped interrupting their moment. Nadine broke their embrace and gave Nikolas back his jacket. Nikolas stared after her and then followed behind.

They both headed up to Wyndamere. Nikolas took her and her luggage to her room. The room was familiar because it was the same one she stayed in after the fire.

"Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm okay, thanks."

"Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything else. You know where my room is."

"Yes, I do," trying not to think of him and his bed.

"Okay, We'll I'll leave you alone then."

"Goodnight, Nikolas."

"Goodnight, Nadine."

Nikolas heads out the door and closes it behind him. He leaned against it while closing his eyes.
