THE SECOND BOOK IN THE NADINE SERIES
She could feel her pulse through her finger tips and wondered if he felt the same way. Did his heart stop working when they were this close? Did he feel the sparks between their finger tips? Does he want to know...
Dream A Little Dream Of Me ~ Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong
"Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me"

CHAPTER 13: THIS FAMILY'S AMAZING
Allison growled as she grabbed onto the bottle of alcohol sitting in front of her. "The nerve of that man." The four of them stood inside the salon Allison worked in, listening to her rant —and getting drunk (besides Nadine). "I mean, one thing goes wrong, and he's on a warpath. I mean, doesn't know who I am? No, no. No, Ray, you know exactly who I am. You just can't handle it."
Nadine tilted her head from where she sat beside Vanya, who was staring at a mirror saying "pew pew" with a finger gun pointed at her reflection.
"Who's Ray again?" The girl asked with her hand raised. "Her husband." Vanya and Klaus answered at the same time. She puckered her lips and nodded at the clarification as Allison returned to the ranting. "I'm protecting him."
Nadine raised an eyebrow as Klaus grunted. "Ow. From what?" The man asked. "The end of the world, for one." Allison responded.
"Is the world really gonna end in six days?" Vanya questioned, making Nadine swivel in her chair to face her. The girl shrugged with a small "eh."
The two adults got silent for a second before the woman answered. "Well, it did last time, and we did everything Five could think of to stop it." Allison tugged on Klaus' hair as she styled it.
"Hey, wouldn't it be weird if Five grew up all hot?" The brother joked. Nadine's eyes widened as she turned her eyes away from the group, staring at a wall. To her, the boy was already very good looking. She couldn't imagine how he could get more attractive than he is now. Maybe he's one of those people that age like fine wine. She hopes to be around to find out.
"Okay, eww!" Allison shouted as Klaus got up and walked towards Nadine.
"What?" Vanya whispered gently, scrunching up her nose. "Oh! Oh, please, Miss Luther was my lover." Klaus made fun of Allison, starting to make kissing noises at her.
Nadine covered her mouth as she laughed, welcoming in the topic change. "We have never even kissed." The woman defended herself. "Yeah, but you guys were making little sick moon-dog eyes at each other all through puberty and breakfasts and all that."
The girl barked out a laugh, bringing the attention to her accidentally. "If you wanna talk about making eyes, let's talk about Five and Nady." Allison lifted a hand in Nadine's direction making the girl cough.
