Nadine woke up early the next morning first unaware of her surroundings. Then, all of the events of the prior night came flooding back through her mind. She thought of Nikolas down the hall in his bed and knew she needed to get out of there as soon as possible. She got out of the bed, grabbed her things, and headed towards the bathroom.

Nikolas was asleep down the hall in his bed tossing and turning. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door waking him up.

Nikolas said "Come in."

Nadine enters. She was only wearing a camisole and shorts. Nikolas was taking in her appearance looking so beautiful and sexy.

"I couldn't sleep. I could only think about you in your bed and how I wanted to be here with you."

Nikolas sits up in bed and gets up on his knees in the bed. Nikolas just in his boxers motions for her with his hand.

"Come here."

Nadine closes the door behind her and walks towards his bed. Nikolas moves so he can be closer to her. Nikolas looks at her taking in every inch of her. He brings his hands up to touch her cheeks and he then trails his hands down her neck then to her chest. He just needed to feel her soft skin. He brings his hands down to her camisole and lifts it up over her head. He looked at her topless; she had the most beautiful breasts he had ever seen.

"You're so beautiful."

He grabbed her and started kissing her. Her arms went around his neck pulling them closer together. Nikolas could feel her harden against him. He moved his lips down to her neck throwing her head back. Trailing his lips down further…..

There was a knock at the door which woke him from his dream state. It took him a second to realize it was all a dream. Nadine wasn't anywhere in his room or there was no sign that she was ever there. There was another knock.

"Come in"

Alfred came in with breakfast and the newspaper.

"Alfred, I will be having breakfast downstairs with Nadine when she wakes up."

"Oh, Ms. Nadine has already left."

"What!! Fine just leave the tray here!"

Nikolas couldn't believe she had just left without letting him know. He got out of bed and ran to the room where she was staying. Her things were gone. The bed made; but there was a note on the bed.

Nikolas,

Thanks for the bed and the hospitality last night. I appreciate it. I guess I'll probably see you around.

Goodbye

Nadine

Why did that sound so final? He couldn't just let her walk out of his life again. He made that mistake once before he sure wasn't going to do it again. He decided in that very moment he was going to do anything and everything possible to get Nadine back. He wanted her….no he needed her in his life. He was absolutely miserable without her.
