Chapter 19

The next morning came and Nicky was flying to the moon. And.... not necessarily back! She should have been tired from the previous day, since she was all day on her feet helping Jane with the food and of course the twins. But still she felt so energized as if she had been sleeping for a couple of days straight. That explained how Jane managed to survive the everyday routine in her household. Her children were such lovely creatures that even when they did the most outrageous mischief no one could help himself from worshiping them.

Of course that was not the only reason that she felt so energized. Her kiss with Mike and the fillings and dreams that kiss evoked, were definitely a reason to make here giddy with excitement. She hadn't been kissed before and even though she had dreamed how it would feel all the previous years, the reality was a totally different story. It was not some chaste kiss on the lips, or a simple tangle of tongues, it was something like... what was the right word to describe it? Music!!! That was the right word to describe the sheer harmony of their bodies' movements. Because their whole bodies had participated in the primitive dance of the passionate kisses they had shared. The way he had enclosed her body in his embrace, how tenderly he had cradled her head in his hands and how extremely passionate his kiss was at the same time. He had totally and utterly devoured her. Her whole body had light up like a bonfire as soon as his tongue had started mating with hers. Her feet had turned to mush and in her stomach thousands of butterflies had gone crazy. And down there, where the core of her womanhood is centered, liquid heat started running like hot lava on an active volcano. She was still a little bit shaken by the whole experience and most of all she still couldn't understand why he did it. She wouldn't elude herself with crazy ideas of him actually fancying her. Mousy little Nicky was definitely not girlfriend material, especially for a guy like Mike. He was a real catch. A beautiful face that could easily belong to a model and a muscular body that most definitely matched an athlete's. And she now knew about how muscular his body was. She had been plastered to it the previous night while he was kissing her and he was rock hard. In more places than one actually. That was another first for her. She had felt his erection poking her belly and even though in the beginning she hadn't realized what it was, by the time the kiss ended abruptly she had surely made a first acquaintance with his manhood. That particular reaction to her, was baffling her most of all. Could he be attracted to her? Could she dare assume something like that, or was she heading straight to a heartbreak situation? Because even if she didn't like admitting it even to herself, she was beginning to have deeper feelings than the admiration she had for him at first. If those feelings didn't exist she wouldn't have reacted to him like she did the previous night. She might be a virgin, but she was not some slut that would sleep with any willing male. Her grandma had raised her much better than that.

She got to work in a haze. She hadn't realized how she got there. She rode the bus, descended on her stop and if she wasn't mistaken she might have had some chit chat with Martha the bus driver. But nothing had stuck. It was as if she was a zombie walking on a high cloud. She went to the back of the café to put her work attire and tried to get her head straight. She needed her job and in the state she was, she was bound to mess up everyone's order. And that was a safe ride to the unemployment office. So she went to the bathroom, threw a lot of cold water on her face, held her head high and got straight to her waitressing.

After four or five hours through her shift she couldn't help but notice that Mike hadn't arrived yet at the café. That had some pretty crazy ideas taking root in her mind. Had she done something wrong the previous night? Was he avoiding her? Was that the end to their short interlude? Hell she wasn't sure she could even call it an interlude. Thankfully the café got packed at that point and she had so much work, she didn't have any time to think past which order went to whom, so when her shift ended and Mike still wasn't there, a wave of depression covered her like a blanket.

Her colleagues saw that something was wrong with her and tried to find out what it was. But no drilling they might have done wasn't enough to make her confess what had really happened the previous day. Considering she was sulking all day, they thought that something really bad had happened. How could they have guessed by her attitude, that she had spent what was probably the best night of her life? She changed quickly on her own clothes and left before the girls had a chance to ask her more questions.

As soon as she exited the café, she stopped on her tracks. There he was on the other side of the street, Mike. He was just standing there holding the biggest and the most beautiful arrangement of flowers she had ever laid eyes on. Not that she had ever received any flowers herself. But occasionally some guys had brought flowers to their girlfriends at the café. She remembered wondering what it would feel like to be on the receiving end of such a beautiful gesture. She was rooted at that particular spot for quiet a time, not knowing what she should do. Maybe he was not there for her. If that was the case and he was on some kind of date, it would be really awkward if she went there to talk to him. At some point a customer wanted to enter the café and she was blocking the entrance, so she apologized to him and got out of his way.

Mike heard her apologizing to someone and immediately looked towards the source of the melodic voice that haunted his dreams the previous night. He smiled at her direction; sure that she was watching him. It was not as if anyone could ignore the flowers he was holding. He had made sure of that. He had gone to the flowers shop and he had requested the most beautiful and elegant flower arrangement they could make. He wanted to really impress her.

He had woken up feeling so exhilarated. The previous night was an eye opener for him. He smirked at the irony of the expression, but it described his situation to a T. She couldn't help not comparing Nicky to his previous girlfriends. She was the real thing and all the rest seemed fake imitations of what he was actually looking for all his life. So genuine, so kindhearted and great with children. The twins obviously had adored her and that meant the world to Mike. Their opinion counted more than that of his brother and sister in law. Not that they didn't agree of course on this occasion with the twins, but still it was their judgment he was counting on. They were harsh judges of character and were very difficult to pass a false judgment. It was as if they had an inner lie detector and spotted anything fake on a 3 mile region.

He waved at the direction of the café hoping that Nicky was there looking at him. With a little luck she wouldn't have run away. There was always the chance that she would like to be seen with the crazy blind dude with the huge bunch of flowers. He waited for a few minutes with his heart on his throat, praying that she would take the leap and come to him. He wanted to pursue her for more than a friend. And had to make sure his intentions were clear. Just when he was ready to give up he felt a hand touching his own hesitantly. It was a soft little hand, her touch like a feather and it melted his heart.

"Hello Nicky! How are you feeling today? I was waiting for you!" He told her. She looked at him for a long time, her hand still on his arm.

"Why?" She barely whispered.

"Because I wanted to bring these flowers to a special lady."

"You didn't come today at the café." She said accusingly.

"I didn't want to be with you as a customer after the beautiful night we spent last night. Here these are for you." He told her and gave her the flowers.

"This is too much Mike. I can't take them. They are too much. You must have spent a fortune on them." She said worriedly.

"You deserve every penny spent. Please don't deny them. I spend over an hour in the flower shop describing the saleswoman how I wanted them to be."

"Oh my God, I don't know what to say." She didn't know how to react in the whole situation.

"Don't say anything just take them."

"I really don't know how to thank you."

"You can have lunch with me. I am certain that you haven't eaten anything while you were working."

"It was kind of busy today. I'll buy you lunch to thank you for the flowers."

"That is out of the question. I want to treat you lunch in one of my favorite restaurants."

"Mike this is too much. I can't accept such a double offer."

"Sure you can. I'll let you cook for me one of the following weeks. That's the best compromise I can make. Do we have a deal?"

"OK if you put it that way. I can't say no to you."

"Sure you can. If you don't feel like going out with me, you can tell me and we can part our ways like two civilized people. No pressure intended."

"NO I want to come!" Nicky shouted panicked that he might leave without her.

"I don't want you to feel obligated to do it."

"No, no it is not an obligation. I am looking forward to spending my time with you today and on our next lunch together." She admitted and immediately blushed.

"I am glad." He replied and holding her hand, he brought her towards his body. Close enough to have access to her face. He bend slowly and kissed her forehead first, then he moved down to her nose, to end up on her lips. He gave her just a peck on the lips, but it was enough to make her tingle all over. The feel of their last night's passionate kisses still lingering on her memory.

"Let's go our cab is waiting. It is just around the corner." Nicky went willingly with him, embarking on an adventure that she hoped would turn out good for her.
