Shipping them
*Nina*
"Oh nice". I look around in the room, it's inside a building that kinda looks like a miniature barn. It has a big couch and big sitting pillows on the floor in front of a big tv.
I see Nick sitting on one of the pillows, there is an empty spot beside him and he pads it. "I saved you a seat Nina".
"Oh thanks". I send Pilar an apologetic smile.. Matt and Emilia has already claimed the other pillow.
But to be honest I do really want to sit with Nick.. I mean I find him interesting and sweet and.. Well very handsome. So I go sit down beside him.
"So ready for popcorn and movies ?" He is smiling at me.. he has a gorgeous smile.
"Sure.. sounds great". I can't help smiling back. "So want are we watching ?"
Zac walks in a big bowl of popcorn in his arms. "Well we were talking about back to the future.. all three movies.. if there are no objections".
"Haven't seen it.. so no.. not from me". I say grinning.. as long as it is not anything really scary I am up for it.
"I haven't seen it either.. so it's fine with me". Pilar say softly.. she is still standing in the middle of the room, like she don't know what to do.
Zac makes a face, like he is utterly shocked. "Oh the travesti.. it is a mistake in your upbringing.. we need to correct this immediately".
"Seriously ?!" Pilar stare at him and I fear she is going to say something negative.. but then she laughs. "You really are strange aren't you ? Okay let's start educating us then".
"My pleasure". Zac say and jump on the couch.. he pads beside himself. "I got space here if you want to sit instead of standing".
She look thoughtful for a moment, then nod. "Sure".
But somehow she manage to trip over the corner of one of the pillows sending her almost head first into Zac's lap. He lets out a small groan but grins. "Or you can sit on me if you prefer".
"Damn you are like a freaking magnet". Pilar struggles to get up until Zac simply lifts her placing on the couch, her cheeks flushed. "I mean.. I don't know what I mean.. sorry".
"It's okay darling.. no harm done.. you weigh next to nothing". Zac sends her a friendly smile. "And sorry to be.. attracting you in that way".
She looks at him for a moment, then start to giggle. "You should be, it's rater dangerous for a poor woman you know".
Honestly I am surprised, I mean Pilar do not normally joke around with men.. she usually take everything as an offence.. but here she is, looking happy and relaxed.. this could maybe actually lead to something.
I turn my attention to the movie as Zac starts it.. or as much as I can manage with the warmth from Nick right next to me.
"Popcorn .. Nick .. Nina ?!" LZ asks as he comes in with some smaller bowls to fill, we both nod and he fills one. "Popcorn coming up for Nickna".
"Really LZ .. you actually just did that ?" Nick say taking the bowl of popcorn from his hand.
Zac chuckles. "Well personally I would have gone with Nincka.. but Nickna works too".
"Or Ninack". Marshall suggests from the armchair, where he is sitting with Shed on his lap.
Nick groan and hide his face in his hands as he mumbles. "Sorry.. I live with a bunch of morons.. men children that never grew up".
"It's fine Nick.. I know the type". I feel my cheeks blush slightly.
"We just think you two are cute". Zac say grinning.
Nick grabs a handful of popcorn at throw in his face..it's a pretty good throw considering the distance. "Shut it Z.. mind your own shit".
"Hey mcGrumpy, those are salty ones.. I could like.. go blind or something". Zac is whining and turn to Pilar. "Is there something in my eyes.. it stings".
She actually lean in to examine his eyes. "No.. your eyes are safe".
I lean a little closer to Nick, whispering softly. "Ignore them.. they might just be jealous".
"I think you are right". He gives one of those small very charming lopsided smiles.
I try to focus on the movie, but my hand keep brushing against Nick's when I go for the popcorn, sending small lightnings through my body. And I kind of feel my focus slip more and more, as I cast glances at him instead.
There is no denying it, I like him.. like in I am pretty fast developing a crush on him.. it might be dumb though, with living in different countries and all that. But I just really can't manage to worry about it right now.. also nothing has happened.. Maybe nothing will.
"Time to get a bit more.. cosy". Nick whispers when the popcorn bowl is empty, sitting it down on the floor and kinda snuggling down on the huge pillow, almost fully laying down.
I just sit there kinda stiff, not really knowing what to do. "Uhm am I in your way ?"
"Well not much.. I can see". He mumbles. "But if you want to make yourself more comfortable, just lay back, plenty of free space".
"Okay". I lean back, feeling something hard and warm under my head, almost instantly realising it's his chest. "Oh sorry.. I didn't mean to..".
He gently grab my arm as I try to sit back up. "No need to apologise.. or move.. It was kinda the plan".
I feel my cheeks flush. "Oh so a plan.. you, have a lot of confidence don't you ?"
"Well.. sometimes we just have to take our chances, right ? Or nothing will happen". He is still whispering.
"Yeah.. you are right". I let myself settle down against him. This is actually nice, even though my heart is pounding and I kinda feel like a teenager here.. I can't remember the last time I felt butterflies like this.
I am a little uncomfortable that especially Pilar is watching us.. but I can't let other people's fears dictate my life.
"Is this okay ?" He ask, gently wrapping one arm over me, letting it rest on my stomach.
I breathe in trying to steady myself from his touch, and push my own boundaries, taking his hand. "Yeah.. definitely okay".
"Good". He mumbles softly, tightening his grip slightly, making me sigh and relax into his embrace.
And before I lose my nerve I place my hand on top of his, feeling how he intertwine our fingers. No doubt I could easily get used to this.
I actually like the movies and love listening to Zac and Nick coming with great observational points and LZ talk the photo technique aspect of things.
Marshall excuses himself right before we start the third movie, and Matt and Emilie sneak out about halfway through it.
"Uhm should I wake them ?" It comes from LZ as the credits roll over the screen.
I turn to see that both Zac and Pilar has fallen asleep. He is leaning back, arms on the back of the couch. Pilar is kinda rolled up, her head almost in Zac's lab her feet in LZ's. "Aww look at them.. I think we should let them sleep".
"Yeah.. can you slip out LZ or do you need a hand ?" Nick look at him.
"Uhm if someone can just lift her legs a bit". LZ answers and Nick steps over, gently lifting Pilar's legs just enough for him to slip out without waking her.
LZ says goodnight and Nick spreads a blanket over Pilar. "There.. they should be fine".
"Yeah.. I better get to bet too". I find myself biting my lip, not really knowing what to do.
"Let me walk you to your tent". He say softly.
I nod. "That would be nice".
That gives me a little more time to decide if I should.. do something.
