Chapter 11
Moving against Nikolas as the music again changed Gia could not keep from laughing as she felt Lucky dancing up behind her. Moving in closer to Nikolas Gia slowly turned staring up into Lucky's smiling face. Her voice filled with laughter Gia quickly questioned Lucky.
Gia- What do you think you're doing?
Lucky- I've come to claim my dance…
Gia- Oh… I didn't know Nikolas promised you a dance…
Lucky- [smirking] Very funny…
Gia- [slowly shaking her head feigning confusion] You weren't talking about Nikolas?
Lucky- No… [pulling her towards him] I came to dance with the hottest girl in this damn club…
Gia- [slowly smiling] And who is that?
Lucky- [slowly licking his lips] You of course…
Gia- [smiling] Me… of course…
Lynn- Mind if I cut in?
Watching as the threesome slowly turned in her direction a satisfying smile spread across Lynn's face. Her first glance of Gia Lynn did all that she could to hide her joy. Gia could not hold a candle to her and she would have Nikolas back under her control with a snap of her fingers. Dismissing the look of disappointment on his face Lynn threw her arms around Nikolas' neck pulling him in to her. Ignoring his non response Lynn covered his mouth in a hungry kiss trying her best to show him how much she missed him. Finally breaking away from him Lynn smiled up at Nikolas quickly speaking to him.
Lynn- [seductively] I've missed you so much baby…
Nikolas- [flatly] What are you doing here?
Lynn- [pouting] I came to see you as soon as I got into town and this is how you treat me?
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] When did you get back?
Looking over at a bemused Lucky and Gia's questioning eyes Lynn again spoke to Nikolas.
Lynn- Who's your little friend?
Nikolas- [shaking his head] Lynn…
Gia- Gia… Gia Campbell…
Lynn- Oh so you're Nikolas' little roommate… [slowly looking her up and down] I've heard so much about you…
Nikolas- From whom?
Gia- Well I haven't heard a thing about you…
Lynn- [slyly smiling as she hugged Nikolas tighter] Then we're going to have to change that…
Gia- No… [slowly looking Lynn up and down] no we don't…
Lynn- [smiling up at Nikolas] Where did you find her? She's such a character…
Seeing the look that crossed Gia's face Lucky stepped closer to her wrapping his arm around her waist as he spoke to Lynn.
Lucky- It's good to see you Lynn…
Lynn- Yeah… I was going crazy away from Nikolas…
Lucky- [slowly raising an eyebrow] He's the only one you missed?
Lynn- [smiling] I guess I missed you a little…
Lucky- [smiling] A little huh?
Gia- Ok… [shaking her head] I've had enough…
Lynn- You're going home?
Gia- No…
Lynn- Then where…
Gia- If you really want to know my every move… I'm going to the restroom… then I'm stopping at the bar to get something to drink… after I finish my drink I might dance with that guy who's been giving me the eye all night… after that I plan on going back to the table… then…
Lynn- [smiling] That's enough for now…
Gia- Ok whatever…
Watching as Gia walked in the direction of their table Nikolas shot Lucky a look before turning back to Lynn speaking to her quickly.
Nikolas- What are you doing here?
Lynn- I can't come out and party with my boyfriend and his friends?
Nikolas- Boyfriend?
Lynn- I've missed you so much Nikolas… I couldn't wait to come back to you…
Nikolas- [sighing] Lynn…
Lynn- [grabbing him by the hand] Come on let's go back to the table…
Nikolas- [removing his hand from hers] When did you get back in town?
Lynn- It doesn't matter… I'm here now and…
Nikolas- [attempting to stop her] Lynn I think we need to talk…
Shaking her head Lynn continued to the table quickly hugging Lucky and Elizabeth seemingly ignoring Emily as she sat there. Eyeing Gia once again Lynn smiled as her as she attempted to sit on Nikolas' lap as he sat down. Shaking his head as he moved her from him Nikolas looked quickly at Gia wanting desperately to explain all that was going on. Seeing that smile that slowly moved across Gia's face Nikolas sat back once again losing himself in Gia.
Lynn- [looking at Gia] So tell me about yourself…
Gia- [shrugging] There isn't much to tell…
Liz- [smirking] You got that right…
Gia- [ignoring Elizabeth's snips] But I could tell you a thing or two about the people I've met since coming to Port Charles…
Lynn- [leaning in] Do tell…
Gia- No names of course… [slowly shaking her head] I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone here…
Lynn- Scared to dish all of the dirt and name names?
Gia- [frowning] Do you talk like that all of the time?
Lynn- [pouting] What's wrong with the way I talk?
Gia- [shaking her head] Never mind…
Lynn- Ok… let's hear all of this dirt you're about to dish… minus the names of course…
Liz- [smirking] Here we go…
Gia- Well the first person that I met and actually liked… it's a guy…
Liz- [mumbling] Of course…
Gia- He is… [inhaling] BEAUTIFUL… and when he speaks…
Lucky- [softly] I make your panties wet...
Gia- [nodding] Yeah Lucky… whatever you say…
Lucky- You were talking about me right…
Gia- [smiling as she gently touched his cheek] Of course I was baby…
Lucky- [his hand on her knee] You know we can always leave them here while we go and take care of your… uh problem…
Nikolas- [softly] Lucky that's enough…
Lucky- [smiling as he squeezed Gia's knee] Maybe later then…
Liz- [looking quickly at Nikolas] Why do you care?
Nikolas- [looking intently at Elizabeth] The same reason you don't…
Gia- And then there's this girl…
Lynn- What about her?
Gia- She tries so hard to be the center of attention but little does she know no one cares and her constant grandstanding borders on the ridiculous…
Liz- [angrily] What are you trying to say Gia?
Gia- [slowly smiling as she looked at Elizabeth] A guilty mind always speaks…
Liz- What?
Gia- Anyway… [turning her gaze back to Lynn] where have you been the last month?
Lynn- Excuse me?
Gia- You're Nikolas' girlfriend right?
Lynn- [taking Nikolas' hand] Yes I am…
Gia- Well if I've been living with him for the past month or so…
Lynn- [smiling dismissively] Aww… you've been keeping Nikolas company while I've been gone…
Gia- Yeah… [slowly smiling] and keeping him warm at night too…
Liz/Lynn- [looking quickly at Gia] What did you say?
Gia- [shaking her head] How did you know Nikolas and I lived together?
Lynn- You just told me…
Gia- No… you knew on the dance floor… you mentioned it when you invited yourself into our conversation…
Lynn- Are you sure because…
Gia- Positive…
Lynn- [shrugging] Well then Nikolas must have told me or…
Nikolas- I haven't mentioned Gia to you…
Liz- And why is that?
Nikolas- [smiling as he looked at Gia] It wasn't her business…
Gia- [smiling as she looked back at Nikolas] I like that answer…
Nikolas- [slowly nodding] I knew you would…
Lynn- Emily you're awfully quiet tonight… is something wrong?
Liz- [slowly smiling] She must be missing Juan…
Quickly standing Emily looked from Elizabeth to Lynn before grabbing her purse. Shaking her head Emily softly said goodbye to Lucky, Nikolas, and Gia before quickly leaving. Her sudden departure confusing Nikolas turned questioning eyes toward Gia unsure of what to say. Quickly standing Lynn pulled Nikolas to her dragging him once again to the dance floor. Ignoring Elizabeth's constant thoughts about Nikolas and Lynn's relationship Gia stood ready to leave as well. Watching Gia's every move Nikolas rushed over to her not wanting Lynn's arrival to end the night or what he knew was slowly growing between the two of them.
Nikolas- Where…
Gia- [slowly shaking her head] I'm just going to go home…
Liz- [smirking] Must be tough being the five wheel huh…
Gia- [looking pointedly at Liz] Has anyone ever told you to shut the hell up?
Liz- [smugly as she crossed her arms across her chest] No one is brave enough to try…
Gia- Then consider me brave and shut the hell up…
Liz- [angrily] I don't know who you think you're talking to…
Gia- Who am I looking at?
Liz- [shaking her head] You can't talk to me like that?
Gia- I can and I will…
Liz- It's not my fault you're alone and by yourself… maybe if you dropped the damn attitude…
Gia- I've got something I want to drop…
Liz- I'm soooo scared…
Gia- You should be…
Nikolas- [gently touching her cheek] Don't go…
Gia- It's obvious you have things you have to talk to your girlfriend about…
Nikolas- [softly] Gia…
Gia- [slowly shaking her head] I'll be at the cottage…
Nikolas- [handing his keys to Gia] I'll talk with her and…
Gia- I'll be there waiting…
Liz- You're going to have a long ass wait…
Gia- [looking at Elizabeth] Again… shut the hell up… [smiling quickly at Lucky] see you Lucky…
Lucky- [calling after her as she walked away] I'll call you later to talk about your problem…
Gia- [laughing] You do that…
Locking eyes with Nikolas one last time Gia left the club headed back to the cottage to wait for Nikolas. Watching her departure from the club Lynn again approached Nikolas smiling up at him.
Lynn- Where's Gina headed?
Liz- [laughing] Gina…
Nikolas- It's Gia…
Lynn- [shrugging] Gina… Gia… what's the difference?
Nikolas- We have to talk…
Lynn- [shaking her head] I came here to party… no one wants to talk…
Nikolas- [taking her by the arm] Lynn…
Wrapping her arms around him as he pulled her close Lynn softly and seductively spoke to Nikolas hoping to make him forget about Gia, the club, her return, and any other discussion he wanted to have.
Lynn- [slowly licking her lips] Yeah… maybe we should talk…
Nikolas- That's not the kind of conversation I want to have…
Lynn- [pouting] I've missed you so much Nikolas…
Shaking his head Nikolas walked away from Lynn, Elizabeth, and Lucky wanting to end his conversation and whatever else with Lynn so he could return to the cottage and Gia's arms once again.
Chapter 12
Pacing the cottage Gia sighed unsure of how she should be feeling. Nikolas' long gone girlfriend had finally returned and now what… Did she really expect Nikolas to end whatever he had going with Lynn? There was definitely happening between them but was it enough for him to end what he already had? Or maybe… screaming Gia quickly went to the phone needing someone to not only talk to but someone who would definitely talk her through what she was not only feeling but going through.
Ayanna- [angrily] What!
Gia- Hello to you too…
Ayanna- Who the hell is this?
Gia- Heffa… I haven't been gone long enough that you've forgotten my voice…
Ayanna- Gia?
Gia- Who else would it be?
Ayanna- Some chick has been calling here acting stupid on the phone so I didn't know…
Gia- Do I need to come there and whup some ass?
Ayanna- [laughing] Not yet…
Gia- Ok… just let me know though and I'll be there…
Ayanna- Alright now…
Gia- [sighing] I miss you Yanna…
Ayanna- Bookie I miss you too but what's really going on?
Gia- What makes you think something is going on?
Ayanna- Gia I love you and I love talking to you but I'm damn sure not going to call you at two something in the morning unless it was something important.
Gia- I… I didn't realize it was that late…
Ayanna- Gia what is it?
Gia- [slowly shaking her head] If you were sleep…
Ayanna- I'm woke now… what's wrong?
Gia- [sighing] I… uh… I think I've gone and done it…
Ayanna- Done what?
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
Ayanna- What about… [gasping] oh my God you slept with him… you nasty little hussy…
Gia- [laughing] No I did not sleep with him…
Ayanna- Then what?
Gia- Yanna when I came here the only thing I thought or cared about was my mom and getting her better…
Ayanna- And now…
Gia- I can't get him out of my head… I wake up thinking about him… I go to sleep thinking about him…
Ayanna- What does he think about you?
Gia- I don't know… I mean when it's just him and me my heart beats so damn fast I don't know what to do with myself…
Ayanna- And when others are around?
Gia- Doesn't matter… all I see is him and his eyes never leave me…
Ayanna- [softly] What do you want to happen?
Gia- I don't know…
Ayanna- You know… just say it…
Gia- [softly] I want to be with him…
Ayanna- Then what's stopping you?
Gia- [sighing] His girlfriend…
Ayanna- His what?
Quickly explaining Lynn and Nikolas' "relationship" Ayanna and Gia continued to talk about how Gia was feeling. Lying on the couch Gia listened as Ayanna explained her thoughts on the situation.
Ayanna- Baby I don't know what to tell you…
Gia- Yanna the first time he kissed me…
Ayanna- So you've kissed…
Gia- [smiling] Constantly…
Ayanna- [laughing] What happened the first time he kissed you…
Gia- [slowly closing her eyes] It was amazing…
Ayanna- How so?
Gia- I had just got the Face of Deception job and I was so excited… I was hugging him and laughing and I just went for it… I started kissing him and...
Ayanna- You kissed him first?
Gia- Yeah… he was hugging me back and I just kissed him and…
Ayanna- And?
Gia- And I didn't want to stop…
Ayanna- Ok What's wrong with that?
Gia- He's not like the normal guys I usually date….
Ayanna- What does that mean? He has two heads?
Gia- No…
Ayanna- A third nipple?
Gia- [laughing] No…
Ayanna- Then what?
Gia- He's not black…
Ayanna- If he was black would you feel any different about him?
Gia- No but…
Ayanna- But what?
Gia- You know how people are… I can already hear Lisa and her crew…
Ayanna- [fanning her hand] Lisa and her crew are spreading their legs for anyone who smiles at them so what they think or have to say really doesn't matter…
Gia- That's easy to say Yanna but…
Ayanna- Do you like Nikolas?
Gia- Hell yes…
Ayanna- Does he like you?
Gia- Yes…
Ayanna- Then that should be the only thing that matters…
Gia- Ok Mother Love…
Ayanna- [laughing] And don't you forget it…
Gia- [laughing] I won't…
Ayanna- [softly] One thing though…
Gia- What?
Ayanna- Don't be that fast tail hussy I accused you of being earlier… I'm not ready to be an aunt yet…
Gia- [laughing] Shut up…
Ayanna- [smiling] Tell me more about Nikolas…
Gia- [smiling] What do you want to know?
Ayanna- Everything…
Gia- [smiling] Everything…
Taking a deep breath Gia settled herself on the couch as she told Ayanna everything she could about Nikolas and how he made her feel.
Practicing over and over in his head of what to say Nikolas slowly walked into Lynn's apartment ready to end all with her. Shaking his head as she quickly went around lighting the candles in the room Nikolas softly called her name.
Nikolas- [softly] Lynn…
Lynn- [smiling as she slowly turned to him] Yes…
Nikolas- We have to talk…
Lynn- [slowly nodding] I know but… I just have to look at you first…
Nikolas- Lynn…
Lynn- Those last few weeks away from you I about lost my mind. I wanted to be with you so bad…
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] Some things have changed…
Lynn- I know but if we work at it we can get things back like they were.
Nikolas- Lynn…
Lynn- [softly] It's Gia isn't it…
Nikolas- Yes… [slowly shaking his head] no…
Lynn- Which is it Nikolas?
Nikolas- Meeting Gia has really made me stop and see what I wanted…
Lynn- And I'm going to give it to you…
Nikolas- Lynn I want to be happy…
Lynn- [softly] I can make you happy…
Nikolas- I want to love and be loved…
Lynn- [reaching out to him] I will love you Nikolas… you just have to give me some time and…
Nikolas- [looking down] Lynn…
Lynn- I know I shouldn't complain but honestly I don't like her there with you..
Nikolas- [quickly looking up] What did you say?
Lynn- Gia… I don't like her living in the cottage with you. She has a job… she's the Face of Deception… surely by now she has a enough money to afford a place of her own. Why does she even have to live with…
Seeing the look on Nikolas' face Lynn stopped her complaints about Gia and her wanting Gia to move out of the cottage and instead went to Nikolas attempting to hug him. Sensing his reluctance Lynn softly kissed his neck as she whispered to him.
Lynn- [whispering] I'm sorry Nikolas… it's just that I want you all to myself…
Nikolas- Lynn I don't think we should do this anymore…
Lynn- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- I… I'm not trying to hurt you or…
Lynn- Nikolas you're all that I have left…
Nikolas- Lynn…
Lynn- My mom is gone… my dad is gone… yeah I have a couple of friends but…
Nikolas- Lynn what we shared…
Lynn- Meant… [slowly shaking her head] means so much to me.
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] Lynn…
Lynn- [softly] You're all I have left Nikolas…
Nikolas- [softly] I can't do this…
Lynn- [forcing tears] Nikolas please…don't leave me please… I'm so alone… you're the only thing that I have in my life worth anything…
Nikolas- Lynn I don't think I can give you what you need…
Lynn- You're the only thing that I need… [crying] Nikolas please…
Nikolas- Lynn… [slowly shaking his head] don't cry… I'm not trying to hurt you… it's just…
Lynn- Can't we just try… can't we take one day at a time or…
Nikolas- [softly] Lynn… I'm sorry…
Quickly going to him Lynn wrapped her arms around Nikolas sobbing as she again begged him not to leave her. Trying best to calm her Nikolas gently rubbed her back breaking away as her crying stopped. Looking down at her Nikolas was caught off guard as Lynn grabbed him kissing him passionately. Feeling no response Lynn continued her assault on his mouth as her hand quickly moved down his body. Sensing even a small response from Nikolas Lynn slipped her hand beneath his waistband caressing him lightly. Unable to contain his moan Nikolas slowly shook his head as Lynn continued to stroke and caress him. Breaking away from her Nikolas attempted to end what was occurring between them only to be stopped by Lynn and her actions.
Nikolas- [softly] Lynn…
Lynn- [slowly shaking her head as she unbuttoned his pants] Let me show you how much I missed you…
Undoing his pants Lynn pushed Nikolas back on to her couch. Going to her knees before him Lynn pushed up his shirt kissing his rippled stomach as she inched her way lower. Watching in stilled silence as her lips moved over his body Nikolas slowly closed his eyes the feelings and emotions her ministrations caused him almost too much. Moaning as her thumb brushed the tip of his hardening shaft Nikolas suddenly sat up as a n image of a smiling Gia flashed in his mind. Gia… Gia made him feel as no one ever had before. How could he do this to her and what they were slowly building together? How could he… Hearing Lynn slowly calling his name as her hand again found it's way into his pants Nikolas quickly pushed her away from him standing as hurriedly fixed his clothes. Softly questioning him Lynn stood dumbfounded by his reaction.
Lynn- [softly] Nikolas what is it… Nikolas is it something I did?
I… [reaching out to him] I was trying to show you how much I missed you… let me show you…
Nikolas- [shaking his head not looking in her direction] No…
Lynn- What's wrong? [softly smiling] we're allowed to do this… we're in a relationship and…
Nikolas- [quickly going to her door] I have to leave…
Lynn- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [quickly shaking his head] I have to go…
Leaving as she continued to call out to him Nikolas quickly escaped to his car slamming the door as he sat. banging his fist against the steering wheel Nikolas yelled out as he relived all that had just occurred. He took Lynn home to end things between them so he could go freely to Gia and grow into what he felt and knew was happening between them. But now… slowly pulling away from Lynn apartment Nikolas knew that before he and Gia developed into whatever they were to be each other he first had to tell her all that happened tonight. Arriving at the cottage Nikolas took a deep breath before exiting the Jag and walking slowly towards the cottage door. Hearing as Nikolas exited his car Gia said her goodbyes to Ayanna standing and turning towards the door as he entered. Seeing the look on his face Gia softly spoke to Nikolas concerned by his demeanor.
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
