In It For The Long Run (Editing)

IIFTLR- Let's Get You Dolled Up

Hello hello ;)

How are my beautiful readers?

I saw Catching Fire today.... AMAZING <3

Thank you to all who are taking the time to read the book also thank you for all the votes and comments ;) i really appreciate it, it gives me motivation to keep going with this story :) 

A quick note about the last chapter, Demitri says in Greek, my love to Nikki but it in NO way does it mean  he told her he loves her, the playfulness and the innocence of the comment sort of gets lost in translation so for any of you who thought that he said the 'L' word, he didn't. 

So not too much happens in this chapter but it still is necessary. I hope you guys like it :)

Comment your thoughts <3

Vote if you like :)

HAPPY READING ;)

Chapter Nine

(Nikki’s P.O.V)

I groggily open my eyes from the best sleep I have had in months. I haven’t had a decent sleep in a long time and last night I felt so safe and protected in Demitri’s arms.

I stretch my arms reaching over for Demitri but all I feel is an empty spot next to me. I instantly sit up while I look around frantically for him.

I turn my view to the left and search for the digital clock I noticed on his nightstand last night. It’s bright red numbers read ‘11:47AM’.  I slept in, I never sleep in this much unless I go to bed REALLY late like 4am but I went to bed at a decent hour last night. I usually don’t have decent sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night or I am just not comfortable. My mind races at night, I over think in the day but at night my mind seems to be sprinting. My mind is always clouded with useless thoughts and those not so lovely trips down memory lane.

Last night was different. I didn’t wake up once, my mind was at rest. I smile thinking of last night’s events. Demitri and I’s talk, the kisses and the sleep in his arms.

I slide my legs off the bed and I sit on the edge of the bed. I get ready to stand up when something on the night stand on this side of the bed catches my attention. A piece of folded up paper is sitting on the table accompanied by a small rose.

I stand up fully and step in front of the dark wooded night stand that matches all the furniture in his room. His room is actually quite dark but it isn’t gothic it’s more classic. I like it, I like the fact it isn’t your typical modern room. It has elegant and classy feel but doesn’t come across as old.

His bed now that I really look at it is huge, probably the same size as the bed in Esme and I’s room if not larger and is centred in the room. The room doesn’t have many windows but instead one giant window that has a view of the other side of the garden. Gee I didn’t even realise they had a pool. This garden must be bigger than I thought if I couldn’t see the pool from my window.

Back to the piece of paper on the nightstand. It has my name scribbled on the top so I definitely know it is for me. I reach out and unfold the piece of paper.

Good morning Nikki,

Sorry I couldn’t say that to you in person but Carlos and I had to leave early for work, there was a fuss going on and we were called in earlier than expected.

I hope you had a good sleep last night.

Also I will be coming back at 6, make sure you are dressed semi-formal by then. I am taking you out for our first date. Also here is a rose for giving me chance in this whole situation, I know you didn’t really have a choice but thank you for not making this harder on me and yourself.
