The Bed and Breakfast

*stands when Nikki enters*
Nikki?
I'm sorry to bother you here,
I'll leave, if you wish.

No!

*blushes because it's said a little to fast*

Hi Stefan.
What are you doing here?
How'd you find me?
I mean.
How are you?

God damn. Why do I get like this around him?
If things weren't so...

*smiles and blushes*

I, think that I mean, I wanted to um talk to you.

I wish I could say something, that made it seem like I could speak.

Oh shit.
Did I just say that outloud?!

*softly laughs and adds teasingly*

You sort of just did..

*looks to the floor and smiles a bit*

Do you want to sit and talk?
I erm..don't think we have to stay standing.

*looks up*

*giggles*
I just giggled.
O.O

Sure.
Please sit down
*Nikki sits*
*sits down*
Talking might be good.

*nods in agreement*

I think it would be.

But how do I say what I want too

I. Erm. Um.

*flustered*

Do you want to talk first?

I can't seem to pull my thoughts together...

Erm.
Ladies should always go first.
*blushes*

*looks to table and starts fidgeting with hands*

Well. I. *pauses*

Just do it. What's the worst that can happen?
You've already survived the worst of life...

*softly but knows he'll hear it*

ilikeyou.alot.

*takes a deep breathe*

But I don't know.
I've been hearing things, that's why I left. I.
I didn't want to hear them. But I did..

You like me?
Erm.
I like you too.
Very much.
But, what things?

*sighs in a bit of relief hearing him say that*
*smiles a tad but continues to fidget with hands*

Oh.
I don't think it's my place to say.
It's not my things to tell.

Oh.
Well.
Nikki.
I just learned something, if you don't mind if I share.
The past is the past.
Leave it there.
I'm moving on, and I told you I like you.
So maybe...We can move along together.

*looks up*

You speak the truest words.
"The past is the past.
Leave it there."

*listens to rest*
*can't stop smile*

I..
I would really like that.
Really. Like a lot.

*smiles again*

*blushes*

*looks at clock*
Nikki?
I think we should travel back to the house.
We've been here for quite sometime.
*stands and kisses hand*
Would you mind going with me?

Not at all.
*stands*

Oh!
Do you mind if I go say a quick good-bye to Pete?
I would feel rather bad if I left without saying anything to my friend.

*quickly walks into kitchen to say good-bye and comes out a minute later*

Shall we?

*smiles*
Should we tell anyone about what we've chosen to do?
What are we exactly now?
*walks out door*

We can. Unless you have any objections to telling others?
I know it could ease some hearts.

*smiles and walks outside*

To be honest, I'm not sure.

I know what I want and where I want to be...

What do you think?

I want what you want.
I think we should.
*takes hand*
Lets go home.

*smiles and looks up at him*
*contently holds his hand*

Lets.

*waits a few minutes*

Though.
Not before I beat you home!

*takes off running laughing*

*stands stunned*
YOU WON'T BEAT ME!
*runs off heading home, not quite ahead of her. Not quite behind. Keeping pace*

Are you sure about that?

*laughs and puts on a bit more speed as the courtyard comes into view in the distance*

Don't lose Stefann!
The consequences could be..

*winks*

*laughs*

*leaning against a tree with an unlit cigarette between my lips*

*watches the early morning bustle of the B&B staff*
*chuckles to myself while playing with a lighter*

*lights cigarette after the last person has gone inside*

-Walks up behind Crash-
Hello Wyatt.

*continues looking foreward*

It's Crash.
What do you want?

Are you sure you deserve a nickname?
Many in your position should be known by their true names- be known for their actions.
-Smiles-
Wyatt you shall remain.

*sighs*

I asked what you want this time.
I know you want something, or you wouldn't have come out here.

What do you want?

*drops cigarette in the snow*
DAMMIT!
