Ceilings- AJxNiko

Part 22 (light smut)

Niko was pacing around his room. He was scared, nervous, excited? He really doesn't know. He'd follow through with Aj's plan to "break up" with Alyah. That way he can be with Aj, but have the girl on their side so they can figure out what the hell Aj's dad wanted. Niko really hoped this worked. The plan was simple, Niko was going to drop Alyah to the nail salon, because she 'needed' to get them done, and she was apparently expecting them to be funded by Niko. they'd have a 5-10 minute conversation, in which Niko could fulfil his plan. She would take an uber to her friends house so he wouldn't have to deal with her after. Niko had asked Chunkz and Sharky to take Aj out somewhere, he needed Kenny later, so he would be distracted while the plan was being carried out.

2:45.

Niko runs down the stairs to his car, and drives to Alyahs house. He beeps twice to let her know he's outside, and waits. Shoot. Is all he can think. He takes one final deep breath, putting on a fake smile, as he sees her run to the car door. 

"Hey Babe," She says, leaning in to kiss his cheek, "Ugh, Thank God you're taking me to this appointment. I haven't  got my nails done in like 3 weeks, they're starting to grow out."

Niko nods, eying the road. Just as they're about to arrive Niko interrupts Alyah's endless rambling, which bored Niko. When Aj endlessly rambled Niko enjoyed it, he felt calm and at peace, enjoying the white noise. But when Alyah spoke, it was like when your alarm goes off in the morning. 

"Al there's something I need to tell you."

"Mhm. Go on, spit it out." Alyah says, annoyed Niko interrupted her. Niko is a bit taken back.

"I'm sorry but I think we should break up." Niko finally says as he pulls in to park. 

"WHAT?! Why?!" Alyah screams. This wasn't part of her plan.

"I'm sorry Aly. I'm just not feeling it anymore, and I need to work on myself. Its not you, its me." well it kind of was her, but what she doesn't know doesn't hurt her. 

"Nikoo, you can't. I can help you. I can be there for you." Alyah forces out, fake tears filling her eyes. She didn't think she'd have to be this moist and soppy.

"Al, I've made my decision. I'm sorry."

"No, Please Niko. You can't let me go into a nail salon broken up with now can you?" Fake pouting.

"Fine, Al. Fine." Niko says, initiating the first part of the plan. He hadn't  said he would get back together with her, more like didn't confirm it. 

"Yay!" She cheers, kissing Nikos cheek and jumping out the car.

Niko lets out a sigh of relief as the girl leaves. He begins to drive away, calling Kenny.

"Hey Ken, I'm on my way. I'll be there in 10."

"Alright. I've got my speaker, and the other things you needed. Is there anything else you need?"

"Nope. We have to go Tesco on the way too. Or should I go now?"

"We'll go on the way. Either way I need to get somethings anyways."

"Ok I'll see you in 5 minutes brother."

"See ya.

===================

Chunkz and Sharky had taken Aj to AAS. They'd brought a football and snacks in attempts to distract the boy. They didn't know why Niko wanted Aj distracted, but thought it was best not to ask questions. They'd figure it out sooner or later. They were a bit confused because the night before all they'd heard was Aj and Niko arguing the night before.
