In quarantine

All those feelings

*Nina*
"Blue.. dammit Blue.. that rabbit does not want to play". Nick calls as Blue speeds off trying to catch a rabbit. "He is not really a good example for Bailey.. it's a good thing we have Shed here.. look at Shed boy.. that's how to behave".

I can't help giggling. "Don't be so hard on Blue.. he is a sweetheart.. just .. a bit easily distracted and not really aware of the damage he can do".

"So what you say is that he is pretty much like his owner.. yeah he is.. Luckily Zac do not kill things though". Nick makes a face, reaching down to scratch Bailey's head.

"They are also both very likeable". I smile. ".. but yeah.. none of them have the biggest attention span".

Nick takes my hand. "You are very likeable too.. I am so happy you decided to stay here for the .. time being".

"Me too". I smile at him, squeezing his hand softly.. I love these long walks with the dogs. "Did you want Blue to come back ?"

He looks after the dog, who is sprinting back and forth up on the ridge. "Yeah, but his brain is shut off right now.. he'll come when he gets tired".

"Blue ! Come here boy.. Blue". I call, then I whistle and Blue comes sprinting, stopping in front of me. "There you go.. one Blue".

"Just like his dad". Nick shakes his head and wink at me. "You have your way with charming men, both the ones with two legs and the ones with four".

I smile up at him. "Well you are the only two legged one I want to charm".

"Well.. mission accomplished then". His hand comes out, sneaking around my waist and pulling me in for a warm kiss.

I sigh and rest my head on his shoulder.. is it bad that part of me hopes this will take a long time ? The thought of having to leave him and going back home hurts.. we have not really talked about it yet.. It's just too heavy and well our relationship is still kinda new.. so for now I just cross my fingers that fait.. and this virus will keep us together for some time yet.

When I lift my head, Nick gently brushes my hair behind my ears, his warm eyes looking into mine and a smile slowly spreading on his lips. "I used to say this place was the most beautiful I ever saw.. but you put even the beauty of nature to shame.. I love you".

"Aww mi amor.. I love you too". I bite my lip trying to restrain my emotions. "But this place really is beautiful and sharing it with you only makes it better".

To be honest my heart has shot off like a rocket ship, feeling like it want to jump out into my hands so I can hand it to him literally. Part of me want to squeal like a School girl or something similarly silly.. but I just smile like an idiot.

"When this is over.. I would love for you to come with me to Canada.. meet my family..  they are going to adore you". He says softly.

"I'd love too.. but after you need to come to Argentina then.. and meet the rest of my family.. they will love you to bits". I can't contain my smile right now and I feel myself bounce slightly on my feet.

The smile I get in return is simply breathtaking. "Sure darling, I can't wait to meet them.. but I think it's breakfast time right about now.. what do you say we find our way back ?"

"Sounds great". I take his hand, weaving our fingers together. "I am starting to get just a bit hungry".

*LZ*
"Hi Emmi". I push off with my feet, swinging the hanging couch back and forth as she comes over.

She gives me a small smile. "Morning LZ.. I was thinking if.. we could have like a talk".

"Sure sweetie.. of course". I stop the swing and pad beside me.. I had kinda expected this to happen.

She sits down, kinda wringing her hands in her lap. "So about last night .. I am sorry for kissing you.. I shouldn't have".

"Well I am happy you did.. so". I sigh looking out over the grounds. I wish I had been smarter in this.. that I had not let myself get my feelings entangled in .. this.. but by now there is really no way back. "Sorry you feel differently".

"Chiquita..". She grabs for my arm but I pull it away.

As I get on my feet I shake my head. "Please don't call me that.. it's okay.. I get it you and Matt has a story.. I just .. I need a bit of air here".

"Oh.. okay I am sorry". The way her bottom lip quivers make me feel bad. Great, now I made her upset.

"Emmi.. It's just.. I really like you okay.. that kiss.. to me it was truly special". I scratch my arm. "To you it was a mistake".

She stands there, hanging her head and I shake mine, turning to walk off.. I just need some space and some air, my heart and my mind in utter turmoil at the moment.

But I don't get far before I hear her running footsteps behind me and she grabs my arm, stopping me in my track. "LZ.. Zach wait".

"What ? So you can tell me you are sorry ? That you like me but you are confused and that you might see me more like a friend or a brother". Okay old pains and rejections might be washing over me.

"What !? No.. it's not like that..". She bites her lip and I try to keep myself together by glaring at her.. focusing on the negative. Suddenly her hands grab my face and she takes me totally by surprise as she kisses me.

To be honest I do not know what gets into me, I am not usually like the passionate latin lover type, but somehow the frustration and pain manifest itself in the kiss and I find myself lifting her off the ground, pressing her into the wall of the building beside us.

She gasps slightly, giving me access to deepen the kiss. Her hands are grabbing my shoulders and pulling at my hair.

I feel dizzy and like I almost can't breathe.. my brain, my body and my heart is at battle with each other, tearing me apart, all wanting their will and desires to be fulfilled.

Putting her down, I try to regain my senses. "Oh sorry.. I think you better go.. please.. we shouldn't..".

"No..". She quickly turn and run off and I sink down on my knees, hiding my face in my hands. Great LZ, way to make everything worse.. now she hates you.. great I am officially a jerk.
