The Breaking Point

Slowly Moving On

Ciara's POV:

Nicolai and I have been hanging out a whole lot lately. He enjoys making me laugh and seeing my smile, at least, that's what he always tells me. He's such a nice guy and I've never had so much fun with someone who was just a friend. I can talk to him about anything and not feel awkward about it at all. I even told him about what happened between Jacob and I, but not all the details, I still wanted to keep Jacob's secrets. Nicolai totally understood why I didn't want to date right now and he actually told me he'd wait for me when I was ready. I didn't want him to though, I don't know how long it'll be until I'm ready to date again.
Although, it seems like Iim starting to catch a feel for him.

I know a lot about Nicolai too, like how he's an engineer for cars and computers. He owns his own business, played basketball all through high school and college, and had his first kiss when he was eighteen. I found that part hard to believe because he is one handsome man, sexy even. He's so fit and has a lot of tattoos, but not as much that you can't see skin, compared to those people, what he has is nothing. My favorite tattoo is the poem he has on his chest that his mother wrote. She was a great writer, but sadly didn't live long enough to pursue her dream as a poet. Nicolai never smoked and doesn't like to drink, he avoided it like the plague just like his mother did.

I've been promoted once again at my job except this is the biggest promotion in the history of promotions. I'm the owner of Fashion In Time, the biggest fashion industry in the United States. I honestly never thought I'd get a promotion like this. I'm an actual authority figure. Although, this is a huge responsibility and I know I most work hard to maintain this job. I've been working a lot lately and Nicolai has really been keeping me company, especially when I work from home. He brings me food and stays until I finish all my work, which could take all day.
Each day we spend together only gets us closer and closer.

It was a Saturday, a rainy day at Nicolai's house. He and I were laying on his bedroom floor, playing an exciting game of UNO. So far, I was winning and Nicolai had the whole deck of cards in his hands. I have him so many "Draw 4's" he couldn't even hold his cards. The game had finally ended by the two words of "UNO OUT!" coming out of my mouth. Nicolai playfully pouted as he watched me dance around his room like a big little kid.

"Alright, alright Ciara, geeze!" He complained.

I danced around him and laughed in his face. I went in with my teasing until he tripped my legs with his arm and I fell right on top of him. We were so close, air couldn't come between us. I stared into his chocolate brown orbs and his plush pink lips until I felt them on mine. I put my hands on his face and he rapped his arms around my waist. I hadn't realized that we kissed so long until I needed to come up for air. I looked back at him.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

I'm so sorry I took so long to update guys. First it was finals then I got a new phone for Christmas but it didn't have internet so I had to wait for that, and my dad is fixing my laptop so yeah.
