ooc: Oh...thanks..

ic: Kiera still sat there, looking up at the Statue of Liberty. She looked at the sky also, and then could faintly make out the peopl at the top, and couldn't help but smile....

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

Nick laughed, “Yah, sorry about that I just wanted it to be a surprise.” He let go of her as they pulled up to the docks.

*********************************************************

Ceagin stared out over the dark water and the shimmering lights of the city. He placed his palm on the glass and rested his forehead on the cool panel.

“Isn’t it great up here,” her enthusiastic voice alone made him smile. “I mean look at it Ceagin it fantastic!” her camera was wildly flashing s she snapped pictures of everything.
“Good thing Mom bought you that camera before you left.” Ceagin said as he looked over the harbor.
“ok so what do you really think of it?” she asked now standing right next to him viewing and deleting pictures.
“I like it. It’s amazing how they built this thing such a long time ago.” He said musing at the height.
“Hey Ceagin,” she said placing her head on his shoulder, “Smile!” and snap the flash went and the picture taken, “Awe you actually look cute,” she teased.

*****

The memories were so clear. He was lost in them

compliment of course



Nick looked over at her and put one arm around her. Teh wind was a little cooler than when they had come out but he didn't hardly feel it.



"yah it's something else seeing New York from up here." Nick sid gazing down at the city.

Sarah nodded. "It sure is. Kiera would've liked this." She looked down, just barely making out Kiera sitting on a bench. "I wonder what's wrong."

Adina smiled, "It was a suprise, I loved it." She stepped out onto the dock.

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

“I’m glad,” Nick said as he roped the boat to the dock. He stood up and put his arm around her again as they walked to the car. He Opened the door on her side then got in on the drivers side and put up the top. “it might be a little chilly to ride with the top down.”

Adina laughed a little, "yeah, it gets a lot colder here than it does in Greece."

Sarah could tell Ceagin was somewhere else. "Hey Ceagin, what you thinking about?" She put her hand on his back, to hopefully get his attention.

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

Adina laughed a little, "yeah, it gets a lot colder here than it does in Greece."

“that must have been something else traveling to Greece seeing the world.” Nick said thoughtfully as they drove back to campus.

Sarah could tell Ceagin was somewhere else. "Hey Ceagin, what you thinking about?" She put her hand on his back, to hopefully get his attention.

Ceagin jumped at the touch of Sarah’s hand and smiled, “Just the first time I came here. So how do you like it?” he realized he probably asked her that before but what had been said he couldn’t take it back. He had to snap out of this.

It startled Sarah a little when Ceagin jumped. But she smiled. "I love it. I haven't seen these many lights in a long time. It's really beautiful up here. Thanks for bringing me."

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

"yah, no problem." he managed a smile and wondered around for a bit more, "Hey lets go down and see what Kiera is up to."

Adina shrugged, "it was all right, some times it felt like I was just another piece of luggage my parents drug around."

 

[Spare Oomian]

Sarah watched Ceagin as he wondered around. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. She's probably getting lonely down there." They went into the elevator and stood quietly as it went down.

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

Ceagin was glad she was willing to go. He wanted to get out, get away. The cover was getting to hard to wear and he wasn’t doing it very well at all. This had never happened to him until he met Sarah. He had surrounded himself with girls that were way too into fashion, dating and themselves to ever be interested in him. Those girls never tired to understand him and when he acted strange they were way to busy to notice. Sarah wasn’t like that, heck Kiera wasn’t like that and it was making it so much harder to keep up the act. None of his guy friends other then Nick and Chez knew what was real with him and none of his girlfriends though out the years had ever really known him for who he was. He had always been the jock, the good looking one, the guy that all the girls wanted to say, “he’s me boyfriend.” He looked over at Sarah. He hoped to God she would stop asking questions because he was in danger of breaking.

Adina shrugged, "it was all right, some times it felt like I was just another piece of luggage my parents drug around."

Nick stopped the car in front of the dorms, “Listen this may sound tacky but I am here for you if you ever need anyone to talk to.” He felt like she was carrying a load that was crushing her some how. He understood how that felt and wanted to help in any way he could

Adina smiled, "thanks Nick," but you cant help, she thought, no one can. She looked at her dorm, she opened the door. "I had a wonderful time."

Sarah saw Ceagin watching her out of the corner of her eye. Her curiosity was getting the best of her again. She wanted to ask Ceagin so many things, but she didn't know how. But she did know now wasn't the time. She just kept telling herself Later Sarah, later. Give him time to get his thoughts together. Don't press this. But it was hard. For both their sakes, she had to bring up a subject far from everything that was going on. "So...what's going on with Nick? He seems to be calling you a lot tonight."

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

Nick smiled, “so did I.” He wanted to kiss her. He forced himself to think of something else, “ so I guess this means that we are technically a couple,” he wanted to kick himself. How stupid that must have sounded.

Ceagin again snapping out of his thoughts smiled, “Yah he wanted to borrow the car…my other car and then he wanted to use my boat.” He smiled, “he’s a funny guy.”

Adina smiled, "yeah, I guess we are." She looked back at her dorm, then looked at Nick, "do you want to come in?"

 

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

"Your boat? Okay, so you have a boat too." She laughed. "Why do you say he's funny?"

“yah I have a boat and a few other things but yah, he smiled, “Nick is just so paranoid about making a good impression on this girl he has done everything right that a girl would want on a date, even though they technically aren’t dating.” He shook his head, “Nick was never very big with girls and I…it doesn’t matter what I think.”

Adina smiled, "yeah, I guess we are." She looked back at her dorm, then looked at Nick, "do you want to come in?"

Nick hesitated before answering, “I better not.” He wanted to but he knew them being alone might not be a good idea. He smiled and then took her hand. “ Adina I can tell you honestly though that this has been one of the greatest evenings of my life,” and with that he brought her hand up and kissed it. “Thank you. And I’ll talk to you soon,” He smiled again and started to walk away.

"Of course it matters what you think. Come on, I'm good at keeping secrets. I've kept yours." She smiled and winked at him.
