Once Nico and Dani were back in their suite, Nico went and grabbed the box that Dani hadn't opened. "Here before you get dressed, why don't you open this," Nico said.

When Dani opened the box, there was a beautiful red dress and silver heels to go with it. Her mouth just fell wide open.

"Nico, you didn't have to do this." Dani said flabbergasted.

Nico pulled Dani in his arms and said, "yes I did. Look, baby, you deserve so much. I know this is a lot for you to take in, but I wanted to show you that I care about you so much. Just please wear it for me. I even got a matching vest and tie for my tux. Tonight is a very special night, not just for my dad, but for me too because I get to introduce my family to the most amazing woman." Nico kissed Dani on the cheek. She was blushing. No man had ever said anything like that to her. She really was overwhelmed with a feeling she had never had before and that scared her. This man was so amazing and she was just speechless to the way he treated her. It truly was new for her.

While Nico was getting ready, he thought about the events of the day. He wondered if maybe he was trying too hard to get Dani to see how much he cared for her. He had brought it up two different times now and still no response from her, but then again he did tell her they would talk about it later tonight. They both had been up for almost 24 hours straight now, so he figured that conversation would have to wait. He also knew that Dani had never had a man treat her with respect and that this was new for her. Heck, it was new for him too. Not how to treat a woman because his dad taught h so well, but the fact of how much he cared for her and the feelings he had.

Dani decided to skip a shower and take one later. She felt exhausted. They had both been up for so long, but she definitely wasn't complaining. So far, this had been amazing. As Dani was fixing her hair and makeup, she thought about everything Nico had said to her. It still stunned her that she was at a loss for words because that never happened. Dani fixed her hair the way she did at the MV3 party several months ago when Nico had told her she looked beautiful. She smiled at the memory and she remembered how big she smiled and probably blushed when he said it.

Nico was dressed and waiting in the living room watching TV when he heard Dani walking in. It was as if time stood still when he seen her. He immediately turned off the TV and walked over to her.

"Wow, Dani, you look beautiful," Nico said as he took her hands in his and kissed her very passionately.

When he pulled back, Dani said, "you don't look so bad yourself." Nico gave her that smile that made Dani just melt.

"You ready to go," Nico asked. Dani nodded. She knew Nico was a little worried because he had opened up to her about his feelings and she had yet to say anything.

Dani grabbed his hand and said, "Nico." He stopped and turned to face her.

"Yes, sweetheart."

"I'm crazy about you too. It's just so much to take in and all so new for me, but I'm loving every minute I have with you. Thank you so much for the dress and the shoes. I just really didn't know what to say to everything. So don't worry because I don't plan on going anywhere," Dani said as she pulled him into her and kissed him hard. Nico pushed her up against the wall.

When Dani pulled back, she said, "by the way you are looking too good in your tux. I can't keep my hands off of you." They kissed again. This kiss was unlike any other kiss that they had shared. It had so much feeling, emotion, and unspoken words in it that it brought tears to Dani's eyes.

Nico finally said, "look, I'm scared too. I don't want us to mess this up. All I know is that I'm crazy about you and I want to spend every chance I get with you. We can figure out the rest as we go." He kissed Dani one more time and they headed down to the party to wait and surprise Nico's dad.
