Actress and The C.E.O (Part 1)

"I...I...Nica..." Conan was stammering again.

"Con? Do you need to come in?" Nica asked.

"I can't Nica," Conan said making the girl confused. "I can't come inside because if I am alone one moment with you, I'll lose control over myself," Conan told her balling his hands into fists.

"Yes!" Roman whisper cheered his friend, Ekaashi smiled at his reaction.

"What do you mean by losing control?" Nica asked. She knew the answer, Roman could see that. Nica was balling her hands into fists to control herself like Conan was.

"I mean I wanted to kiss you the moment you coughed out salt water three years ago. I mean that it killes me when I see you laughing and talking to other guys, Roman included. I mean that it almost destroyed me seeing you and Vic make out. If I go inside and we are alone, I might lose all the control I have on myself," Conan finally said.

Roman saw Nica's eyes were glassy, it was clear through the specs as well.

"Then lose control, Con," Nica said making Conan gape at her. "Lose control if that is what's making you stay away. Lose control if it restricts you to be just a friend. Let's lose control if it stops us from confessing our feelings," Nica said.

Roman was ready to dance. This was perfect.

"Us? You like me too?" Conan looked at her in disbelief.

"Like?" Nica laughed humourlessly, "I am madly in love with you, Conan," Nica confessed.

Conan did not wait anymore. He just loosened his grip on his fists, pulled Nica to him and kissed her full on the lips.

"He might not need the t-shirt after this," Roman joked, but Ekaashi still didn't respond.

Conan pulled away, his eyes dancing with joy while Nica looked awestruck.

"I love you more than I love my carving knives, Jennica. Always have, always will," He told her as Nica hugged him and he hugged her back.

"You think you'll come home today?" Roman shouted from inside the car.

"I am going to keep him tonight. We've got a lot to talk about," Nica shouted back.

"Are you 5? Ravish him, eat him for dessert. I gave him an off already," Roman joked.

"Fuck off, Roman!" Conan shouted as Roman reversed the car.

"You get fucked, Conan!" Roman shouted before he drove off from Nica's villa.

"Sorry for the language," Roman apologized as they were on the road again.

"Not really necessary," Ekaashi assured him.

"Still, so is there something you specifically want to do, or shall we go back?" Roman asked Ekaashi.

She was still looking out of the window. Her face looked so serene and peaceful that Roman wanted to look at her all the time. He was in half mind to leave the car on auto-driver and keep looking at Ekaashi.

"No, let's just go," Ekaashi said, not looking at him.

"Your wish is my command, Señorita," Roman mock saluted as Ekaashi chuckled.

"So..." Roman started after a few moments and Ekaashi looked at him. "It's your first time in Madrid?" He asked her.

"My first time in Spain actually. I don't travel much," She told him. Roman looked at her with surprise.

"Not even on vacation?" He asked.

"No. I prefer staying home when I am not working. Elle and I roam around the city in disguise, and spend the day together. If we need a change of scenery, we would go to the beach or anywhere peaceful," Ekaashi told him.
