Secrets

Pretty Good

Hope this doesn't disappoint guys! We've waited long enough!

NICO'S POV

We said goodbye to everyone, knowing it would be the last time Victoria would see them for a while, for how long I wasn't sure, but I didn't care to think about that for too long. She exchanged numbers with Vivian and then we were left alone, Laura and Paul, and the others had already gone to bed.

"I feel like I haven't seen you at all tonight" I told her, taking her hand in mine spinning her round to face me. "I know, but I've talked about you a lot" she giggled, "really?" I smiled, desperately wanting to know what she had said. The elevator doors opened and she just smiled in response and stepped inside.

"I assume I'm staying with you tonight?" she asked, pressing the button to my floor. I grinned, "damn right, I only have you for a couple more nights." I grinned, pulling her tiny frame against mine. I really did tower above her. "and it would make sense really, all your clothes are in my room" I added, beaming down at her. "huh?" she pulled away from my embrace and frowned at me, "during the show I had Jacob and Jasper grab your things and bring them to my room" I blushed, only now thinking it had been a bad idea, "I'm really sorry if you didn't like that, I can have someone take them back"
"Nico, it's fine, stop worrying. Of course I'm happy to spend my last few nights with you" she interrupted me. I sighed with relief, "but I hope they didn't man handle my underwear" she said, looking a little nervous. I chuckled, "I made them promise not to look" she giggled at that and reached up to kiss my cheek. "c'mon," she said, taking my hand as the elevator reached our floor, "I wanna have a snuggle" she said, pulling my through the open doors.

..........

We entered my room, and to my surprise, the guys had covered nearly every square inch in candles and rose petals. Incredibly cheesy I admit, and totally wasn't my idea. Victoria looked round at me wide eyed, she must have seen the unease in my eyes, "this wasn't your idea was it?" she asked, I looked down and scratched the back of my head. She giggled, causing my eyes to shoot up to her face, "I guess Jacob and Jasper think we need a little romance in our relationship" she laughed, walking further into the room, the bottom of her flowing black dress scattering the rose petals further around the room.

"do you think we do?" I asked her, placing the room card on the nearby table, yet my eyes did not leave her form. Victoria turned around, standing in front of the floor to ceiling windows. She smiled at me innocently and shook her head. I took a sigh of relief. "I think me and you are pretty good" She said, walking over towards my position still near the door. She reached up on her tip toes and wrapped her arms around the back of my neck "Don't you think?" she almost purred into my ear as she looked into my eyes. I felt her fingers run through the short hair on the back of my head, causing goosebumps to pop up over my skin. Words wouldn't come to my mind, so I nodded, my eyes fixed onto her lips. I leaned in, pressing my mouth to hers. My hands sat gently on her waist, cradling her body in my grasp. For some reason she felt fragile, that if I were to grab her, pull her close, I'd break her. My heart was racing and my nerves were bubbling up.

Our kisses were pretty tender too, lasting not much more than a minute. I could have taken it further, yet I decided now wasn't the time, this moment was perfect. But then she pulled away. 

I looked into her eyes, flickers from the candle light reflecting in her large pupils, "Nico, why are you shaking?" she asked in almost a whisper. I didn't realize I was. I inhaled deeply, desperately trying to settle my nerves. "Victoria, there's something I need to tell you" I began, carding a hand through my hair. My other was now holding her hand softly. Ugh, but my palms were sweaty. Looking at her standing before me, made my whole body weak. Why did this feel so hard to do? I took another breath, looking up, back to her beautiful face, the smile she gave me was encouraging. 

"I love you" 

There. I'd said it. No going back now. It was done. Ruined maybe? Shit, now I was scared, so I did what I usually do when I'm nervous, and I babbled. 

"I know we have barely been together long, and we don't know that much about each other" I waffled, actually removing myself from her personal space to pace around a little, embarrassingly talking more to myself than her, "but the way you make me feel, I've never felt this way before. God now I sound crazy" I carried on, then launching into a rant in German. Totally forgetting that Victoria was still actually stood there. 

"I love you too" I barely even heard her as I continued my ramblings. But she said it just loud enough to make me pause and look back at her. "pardon?" I asked, inwardly face palming my idiocy. In shyness she crossed her left arm over her chest, gripping onto the upper arm of her right. She bit her lip a little and blushed, "I love you too" She repeated. A feeling of ecstasy rushed through me, as a grin filled my face. She smiled back at me, giggling slightly and I took no time in moving back over to her, making her squeal as I lifted her up in my arms and spun her around.

"really? you do?" I asked, planting her back down, but still holding her waist. She giggled and nodded, "yes you complete and utter doofus. I love you!" she cried, laughing at me even more. "say it again" I grinned playfully at her. She rolled her eyes at me, "I...Love...You" she said, looking up into my eyes as my hands began moving upwards, towards the straps of her dress. "say it again" I asked, "Nico!" she laughed, playfully hitting my shoulder, I chuckled but leaned down, low enough to catch her lips in more of a fiery kiss than before. 

I could feel the heat radiate off of her body as I kissed her. An action that I could never see me getting bored with. Her dainty hands traveled up my chest, across my pecks and then over to the buttons of my dress shirt. I grinned against her lips as I felt her undoing them, slowly, one by one. Finally pulling it off my shoulders. So, not to feel left out, I hooked my fingers around the delicate straps of her dress, gliding them over her shoulders. I couldn't resist opening my eyes to look down at her half naked form, the dress pooling at her feet. A childish smirk upon my features as I looked at her perfectly rounded breasts. She giggled at me, making me blush. "make love to me Nico." she said softly as I stood taking in the sight of her perfect body. 

"Glücklich bis zum Ende der Zeit" I replied, picking her up and taking her over, bridal style, to the bed.
