Nikita POV

My eyes flutter open and thank God this room isn't light. My head pounds when I sit up.

The familiar feeling of my nose itching occurs. "Atchoo!" I sneeze.

"Bless you." a sexy deep voice comes from the door. I turn my head to Eric.

"Thanks. Why am I sneezing? And why is my head pounding as if I got drunk or something?" I ask, confused.

He walks toward me, "You had the second best thing to a hangover, you got high last night."

"What!?" I scream. I never smoke. "I do not smoke or sniff anything." I put up my defense walls. Someone must have drugged me. Oh my gosh.

"There is way more than two ways to get high." he tells me with a 'duh' tone.

"Well then how did I get high?" I ask.

"You ate some pot muffins that Vince made." he says with a careless shrug of the shoulders.

"What!?" I scream again. I throw the blankets off me, immediately regretting it because the cold air starts biting me. I get ready to lunge out of the door and smash Vince's head with something. Anything.

But Eric always spoils the fun. He holds me back, "You can kill him later." he says.

I sit on the bed next to him, "I hope I didn't do anything embarrassing." I say, a warm blush immediately covering my face.

"Nothing embarrassing. You only made friends with SpongeBob SquarePants and decided it'd be great to stand in the rain." he tells me.

"Nothing else?" I ask, because that doesn't sound too bad.

He shakes his head but there's something about him that tells me he's leaving parts out.

"I don't believe that's all there is to it but I'll drop it. For now." I say, "I'm going to shower myself because I smell like chocolate and it's nauseating." I smile at him then get up off the bed and move to the bathroom.

After I've showered, I put on a black turtle neck and black leggings.

I stare at myself in the mirror. I look good. Happy. Glowing even.

I smile. Then I leave the bathroom, clean the room then go downstairs to the kitchen.

"Good morning." I greet Vince and flick him on the forehead.

"Ow." he winces.

"I thought you couldn't bake." I scold him.

He knows exactly what I'm talking about so he doesn't question my statement. Instead he shrugs, "I got the recipe from a friend. Would you like another one?" he asks, smirking.

I narrow my eyes at him and tackle him to the ground, hitting him with my hands. "Oww woman. Get off of me." he whines.

"No! I'm going to kill you." I shout in my warrior voice.

Suddenly I get pulled off him but I still fight.

"Hey that's enough." Eric says from behind me.

I turn to him, "Morning." I smile.

He chuckles, shaking his head at my bipolar issues. "Morning." he smiles and pecks me on my lips.

"Get a room." Vince groans. I stick my tongue out at him.

"Would you like some breakfast?" I ask Eric, making his tie right.

"No thanks. I'm on my way out. Meetings." he says.

I pout, "Well that's too bad then. I'll see you later." I say and walk around him but he holds my hand and pulls me back into him.

My front crashes with his. His lips are so close. My heart flutters.

"I'll see you at dinner." he says.

"Dinner?" I ask.

"Will you go on a date with me?" he suddenly asks.

My jaw drops, "You're asking me out on a date?" I ask, completely dumbfounded.

"I'm about to reconsider." he says suddenly.

I hit him on his arm, "I'm kidding." he laughs, "So what'll it be?" he asks.

"Of course I will." I say happily.

"Tonight then." he smiles that smile that makes me want to melt.

"Tonight." I say. He steps a few steps back and let's go of my hand.

"Tonight." he says. And then disappears.

I turn around to Vince, squealing, "He asked me out on a date!"i whisper shout, not being able to talk.

"You lucky bitch." Vince says, "He doesn't usually go through all this effort for a girl."

"I'm honoured." I gush. I make my breakfast and because I'm nice I make some for Vince too.

We sit at the island and talk about random things like old friends would.

I scoff comes from my left, "What the hell is that?" she asks.

My head turns to Vicki. I actually forgot about her.

"HI Vicki." I greet with a fake smile. I'm not in the mood for her.

"Hi Nikita." she forces my name out of her mouth as if she's going to die saying it, "You didn't answer the question." she says, gesturing to the smile on my face.

I smile evilly in my mind but I smile kindly at her and put my hand to my heart, "Oh this?" I ask, "This is a smile. Eric just asked me out on a date."

"You're a sly bitch, aren't you?" she sneers at me. "But it's all going to be over soon." she says looking at her nails.

"What are you talking about?" I ask, confused.

"You'll find out soon enough." she shrugs with a smirk that makes me want to punch her, "I almost want to wish you luck."

Then she leaves, swaying her hips just for Vince. But he doesn't even glance at her ass.

"What the hell was that about?" he asks me.

"I don't know." I say softly then look at him, "What was she talking about?"

"That's exactly what I just asked you. Who is she anyway?" he asks.

"She works for Eric. Has a huge crush on him. I got in her way when Eric replaced her with me, that was when I worked for him. She hates me." I shrug, not even caring about what she thinks of me.

"As long as Eric likes you, she can't touch a hair on your pretty little head. I'm sure she doesn't even know what she's talking about." he says.

"Yeah. Me too." I agree with him.

But I do think she knows what she's talking about. Sure she likes to bluff but she seemed more truthful this time. As if she's planning something or she knows of something that was planned.

I shake my head, replacing that thoughts with what I'm wearing for my date tonight.
