As Nico and Dani started to the lobby, Nico grabbed Dani's and pulled her close to him. "I want everyone to know that we are together." Dani gave Nico a big smile and raised his hand up. She place a quick kiss on his hand as they were entering the lobby.
The lobby was packed and everyone stopped dead in their tracks when Nico and Dani walked in so close and holding hands.
It was obvious to Dani that Nico was loved and cared for by many people because everyone clapped and whistled. Several people walked up to them and introduce themselves to Dani and told Nico to hang onto this one.
Nico wrapped his arm around Dani when they had a brief moment to themselves. He whispered in her ear, "oh, I plan on keeping her around because she is absolutely amazing and right now, in this moment, mine and so beautiful.
Dani shivered, which didn't go unnoticed by Nico. Him being so close and talking to her like that made her go weak in the knees.
"Well, I happen to be in the arms of the sexiest man here and I think maybe a few of these ladies are pretty jealous." Dani said back with a wink.
Nico's mom and sister were watching Nico from across the lobby. They had yet to get to speak to him because of all the people who bombarded him and Dani as soon as they came in.
"Your brother is in love with that woman. I never thought I would see the day after everything he has endured," Nico's mom said as her and Nico's sister made their way over to them. They both hugged Nico and Dani. They chit chatted until they got word that Nico's dad had arrived. One of his work buddies had convinced him to come to the hotel with him. It was like pulling teeth to get him to agree.
Everyone wanted Nico to be the first one that his dad seen because Nico hadn't seen his dad in over two years. So Nico, his mom, and sister made their up to the front of the pack. Dani kindof lingered back for a moment. She wanted Nico to have some time with his dad before she met him. She wanted to get some quick shots for Nico to have since he didn't see his family much.
When Nico's dad walked in and he seen Nico, tears ran down his face and they hugged. Everyone clapped. It was so sweet and Dani got some of the best pictures. Dani had been so caught up in watching everyone that when she felt an arm wrap around her, it starled her just a tad. She gave Nico a big grin.
"I missed you," he whispered to her.
"It's only been about twenty minutes," Dani said with a giggle. They were so caught up in each other that they didn't realize that they were the center of attention tonight.
"Wow, she is gorgeous and look how happy they are," Nico's dad told his wife.
"Yea I know. She is a therapist. Can you believe our son is with a therapist?" The mother asked.
"Well, he's definitely in love with her. I want to meet her," the dad said as they walked over to their son.
Nico saw them approaching. He smiled at the look on his dad's face.
Once they approached, Nico said, "Dani, this is my dad, Dominic. Dad this is Dani." The smile that Dani had was priceless.
"Dani, you are absolutely gorgeous and any woman that can make my son smile like that and make him happy, you already have my approval. It's so nice to meet you," Dominic said as he shook Dani's hand.
"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Careles. Your son is amazing and you raised him well. He certainly knows how to treat a lady." The four of them talked and Nico's parents got to know Dani a little better. They already loved her. They both hoped that Nico would keep her. She was good for him.
"Son, how long are you in town for?"
"Several days. I was hoping we could all go to the lake house tomorrow and take the pontoon out. Have a little fun. Teach Dani how to ski and kneeboard." Nico said with a wink.
"Excuse me, but I bet I can kick your butt in all of it," Dani said with a smirk.
Nico's dad was eating this up. "Alright, sounds like a competion to me. I can't wait."
Nico's mom and dad went to mingle with the other guests. Nico and Dani went to find food and some wine. They sat down at a table with Nico's sister and her husband. Dani and Nikki got along so well.
As the cha cha slide started to play, Dani and Nikki, Nico's sister, went to floor and started dancing. Several other people joined them. Dani motioned for Nico to come join them and Nico convinced, Brady, his brother in law to come too. The four of them were laughing and smiling. They were just having a blast.
Dominic and Nancy, Nico's parents, watched from across the room.
"I believe this is the best party ever and probably one of the best days that I've had in a long time. I love seeing my kids happy, especially, Nico." Dominic said.
"Me too. Dani is so wonderful and she even brings out a different side to Nickki and Brady. Those smiles are priceless," Nancy said as she watched the four of them.
Nancy got the photographer to get of couple of shots of them. He was already ahead of her and showed her some shots he got. They were so good and described this night perfectly.
Once the song ended, they all stayed on the dance floor.
Dani wrapped her arms around Nico's neck and as he wrapped his arms around her waist, Dani said, "Nico, I have never had this much fun in my life and I absolutely love being able to see you so open and so happy. I wish we could just keep rewinding this night so it would never end."
Nico placed a quick kiss on Dani's lips. He said, "you make me happy, baby and just because this night ends doesn't mean that our fun as a couple has to."
"Are we a couple?" Dani asked curiously as the next song started. They both laughed when they realized the song that had just started was Rewind by Rascall Flatts. They swayed to the music as they both listened to the words.
[Verse 1]
Wish I could reach up and reset that sun
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up
Went by so fast oh so sweet
Make me wanna remake a memory
Wish I had me a time machine
[Chorus]
Oh I float the moon back up in the sky
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Put your midnight hair back up so you can let it fall one more time
Untouch your skin
Unkiss your lips and kiss 'em again
So good so right this is one night I'm wishing I could rewind
[Verse 2]
I turn back that radio dial reopen your door,
Try to talk George Strait into giving us an encore
Re-spin you around replay that sound of you laughing when we hit the ground,
I can see it now how bout we
[Chorus]
Float the moon back up in the sky, put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Put your midnight hair back up so you can let it fall one more time
Untouch your skin.. unkiss your lips and kiss em again
So good so right this is one night I'm wishing I could rewind
[Bridge]
I wanna re-fall and re- fly
Baby re-live this night
[Outro]
Float the moon back up in the sky, put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Put your midnight hair back up so you can let it fall one more time
Untouch your skin.. unkiss your lips and kiss em again
So good so right this is one night I'm wishing I could rewind
The way that Dani and Nico moved was unreal. The whole crowd watched. Even the people on the dance floor had stopped dancing. It was as if they had been dancing together their whole lives. Everyone clapped when the song ended and Nico and Dani took a bow.
Nico's dad was presented with a plaque and several people gave a speech including Nico. It was truly moving. Dani realized in that moment that Nico was the man she was destined to be with and to love. She had been in love with him for a while now, but tonight made her finally realize that Nico was the one and she wanted to tell him tonight once they were back in the room. All the dancing and being held by Nico truly was something she wanted to have every night for the rest of her life.
It was almost midnight. Dani had been up for over 24 hours and she felt exhausted.
"Nico, I think I'm going to head on up to the room, okay. I'm really sleepy," Dani said as she kissed him lightly on the lips.
Dani told Nico's parents and sister bye and that she would see them in the morning to help clean up and then, afterwards, have a fun day on the lake.
After Dani was gone, Nico's parents and sister told him they were so happy for him and loved seeing him this happy.
Once everyone was gone, Nico, Nikki, and Brady decided to go ahead and clean up so they could have more time at the lake. It didn't take them long to clean up and decided they would all meet up around 10:30 at the lake house. Nikki and Brady were already staying there since they lived about an hour out of Pittsberg. Even though the place belonged to Nico, he would always let his family stay there, but now that he had Dani in his life that was all going to change.
By the time Nico showered and got in the bed, it was almost two am. Nico looked at the beautiful woman beside him. She had on just her panties and a very thin tank top. He slid next to her in bed and spooned her, wrapping his arm around her. He kissed he hair.
Dani felt Nico next to her holding her tight. She turned over so that she was eye to eye with him.
"Nico, I had so much fun tonight. Thank you for asking me to come. I loved being held by you tonight while we were dancing and just the fact that you wanted everyone to know I was your date, made me feel so special. I want to be held by you like that every night for the rest of my life."
"You are special and you deserved to be held like that. You are so beautiful and I loved being able to show you off as my date. Having you in my life makes things so much better. I just have to say though, if you are going to wear stuff as sexy as that, every night, then I'm going to have a very hard time going to sleep because I will be wanting to do other things," Nico said as he ran his hand up Dani's thigh. This made Dani shiver and suddenly, she wasn't sleepy anymore.
"And what kind of things would that be, Dominic," Dani asked as she climbed on top of Nico.
No more words were spoken for the next hour or so. They made love. It was a little different than the first couple of times at Dani's house the first time. This had so much love and passion in it hat it brought tears to Dani's eyes. It wasn't as rushed like at Dani's house. Nico was so gentle, but knew what he was doing. God, the man was a sex god or something. The way he made Dani feel drove her crazy.
Afterwards, Nico pulled Dani in his arms. "Dani, I love you." He could feel Dani smiling as she laid her head on his chest.
"I love you too, Dominic." Nico took her one more time right then and there.
"Loving you is easy," Nico said as Dani was starting to drift off to sleep.
"Being with you tonight is the best night of my life. Thank you," Dani said right before she fell asleep.
Nico laughed. He loved how easily she went to sleep in his arms. Holding her all night was a dream come true. There was one thing that he needed to tell her and she needed to hear it from him and not anyone else. She needed to know about his job offer because he wanted to know what she thought about it.
Nico and Dani both sleep soundly. The alarm went off at 8:00. Nico had been awake for about an hour just laying there watching Dani sleep.
Dani rolled over and found Nico watching her. She gave him a big smile. "Like what you see!" She teased. He climbed on top of her.
"I love what I see. I see this sexy ass woman laying naked next to me and oh, the things I want to do to her." Nico was being playful and Dani loved it.
Nico licked and kissed every inch of Dani's body. It was like he worshipped her body. She had never cum so many times at once before. Dani moaned Nico's name over and over.
"Say my name. Say my name, baby," Nico whispered in Dani's ear as they both came.
They both layed very content in the bed for a few minutes.
"God, you are so amazing in bed," Dani said.
"And you are so responsive and sexy as hell," Nico said as he kissed her hard.
Dani was relaxed on Nico's chest when he said, "Dani, there is something I need to tell you." Dani wouldn't admit it to Nico, but it felt like her heart stopped when he said those words and she felt like the other shoe was about to drop.
"Do you remember the guy you met last night that owned the professional baseball and professional teams here in town?" When Dani nodded, he continued. Nico had set up so he could look at her eye to eye. "Well, he has offered me a job running security at both places. I hadn't taken it because I wanted to know what you thought. I don't want to live without you. I've got Hutch a meeting set up with him and the Coach to play baseball here. Coach Purnell has taken the coaching job with the football team and TK is being transferred as we speak. I was hoping you would move here with me because he always wants you to be the therapist for both teams and anyone that you want."
Dani's mouth just dropped wide open. It made Nico smile. "Wow." Dani managed to say.
"You don't have to answer today. I'm not starting until after summer, that is if I take it." Nico cupped Dani's face. "I've waited too long too have you in my life and there is no way no how that I am letting you go now. I have a house here which you will get to see in a bit, but like I said you have some time to think about it."
Dani was just speechless. She couldn't believe that Nico was asking her to move here with him. It made her feel so good. She loved this man so much.
Nico saw that Dani was trying to process and probably over analyze everything he just said.
"Dani, don't overthink it. Let's just enjoy our day on the lake, okay? We can talk about it tonight." He knew it was a lot to take in, but getting to have Dani on his life forever would be a dream come true for him.
