Nico got up and stretched.
"Ricky."
"Yeah?"
"Will you fix me waffles?"
"Sure."
"Thanks boo."
"You're welcome boo." He said. "Waffles are ready."
Nico found one of Ricky's shirts and put it on. She walked into the kitchen and ate some waffles.
"Thanks boo. You the best."
"You the best boo." He said. "You okay?"
"Yep." Nico said with her mouth full.
"Nico. I'm getting 'I cried myself to sleep' or 'i went to sleep sad yesterday.' Why?"
"It's really nothing. I gotta go. Keep your phone near." Nico said and gave him a hug. "Love you."
"Love you."
He rubbed her back and let go. She grabbed her bag and left Ricky's house.
She parked her motorcycle and threw her toothpick into the bushes.
"Uh that was littering. I could get you a citation." A girl said.
"Please do." Nico said and smiled at her as she turned and walked into the building. She spotted Xander standing looking down at something.
Nico scurried over to her and hugged her from behind. Xander jumped.
"Oh. Hey you." Xander said and kissed her. "You scared me."
"That was kinda the point." Nico said.
"Meanie."
"You know I'm not a nice person babe we've been through this. But I am sorry. forgive me?"
"Okay."
"yay." Nico said with a smile.
Xander looked at Nico's schedule.
"You take creative writing and art?" Xander asked.
"Yep." Nico said and grabbed Xander's hand. She interlocked their fingers as they walked to the classroom.
"We don't do pda here." The teacher said.
Nico turned towards him. She turned his computer screen and saw what he was looking at.
"You know. It's not smart to be looking at. That. On school property. I could get you fired." She said. "And about the hand holding. It's not like we're dry humping like the seven straight couples I've seen and you seemed to not say a thing." Nico turned back around and walked Xander to their seats.
"You're hot." Xander said.
Nico chuckled at her.
"You're adorable." Nico said with a smile.
Later.
Nico was walking pat the choir room and heard a strong voice. She stopped in the doorway and saw her girlfriend singing. She cracked the door open.
Nico smiled at her. /she's so talented./
"What're you doing?" Sam asked.
"Shut up." Nico said without looking at him. Xander had finished singing with a smile on her face.
she looked at Nico with a surprised look.
She quickly ran to the director and jumped in excitement. She ran to Nico and grabbed her hand dragging her in the room.
"Uh. Hey babe." Nico said.
"Hi baby." Xander said with a smile.
"Why am I here?" Nico asked.
"Because I wanted you to be here. Is that a problem?"
"Nope." Nico said.
"Good." Xander said and kissed her on the cheek. She wrapped her arms around Nico's neck and Nico hugged her waist.
"Awww." The people said.
A girl ran over to them.
"Nico! Hi! I'm Ciara!" She said.
"This is my best friend." Xander said.
"It's nice to meet you Ciara." Nico said and the two shook hands.
"Are you two happy together?"
"Yes." They both said.
"Would you like to sing a little tune for us?"
"I don't sing." Nico said.
"Come on Nico!" A random guy said.
"Yeah come on!" Ciara said.
"Please?" Xander asked her with puppy dog eyes.
Nico sighed. "Fine." She said.
"YAY!" Everyone said.
Nico grabbed an acoustic guitar.
"You play?"
"I used to." Nico said.
Nico-I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings but there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you
Xander and Nico-And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now
Nico smiled at her.
Nico-I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now, now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down, I think the braces are breaking and it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now
She strummed one last time and smiled as the class applauded.
"Have you ever thought of joining?"
"I'm just here for a sheet of paper and a handshake at the end." Nico said. "Thanks for listening." She stood up and kissed Xander. She left the room.
"My girlfriend everyone." Xander said.
