Re: A very OP Christmas Part 2...

Nikki: I don't expect you to. I'm sorry, just ranting I guess.

Ashley:"Well, on the bright side, you never had a heart attack. Trust me, a big enough one of those and a liver on its last legs; it makes the whole broken bones thing seem almost pleasant. Especially with their healing whatever it is after... "

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:22 am

Nikki: Ah, yes... the salts. Well, I'm no perfect little angel, so who knows what they'll have to knock out of me or into me to make me acceptable.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:36 am

Ashley:"If you have to change that much, then what is left of the girl he fell in love with?"

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:52 am

Nikki: I have no intention of changing.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 07, 2012 2:41 am

Ashley:"That is good to hear...Gah why is it funeral homes seem to feel warmer then hospitals?"

As the two walk along the hallway, Amanda has been checking on Lexi's progress with the nurses.... and has clearly overheard everything.

Amanda: Nikki..... there you are..... may I have a quick word please?

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 9:56 am

Nikki eyes Ashley with a knowing smirk.

Nikki: I'll talk to you later, Uncle Ash.

She walks over to Amanda.

Nikki: Yes?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 9:57 am

Amanda: Nothing major..... just wanted to make sure you were OK.... that business with Alex earlier must have rattled you a little.

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:11 am

Surprised, Nikki takes a moment before answering.

Nikki: A little would be an understatement. I wasn't expecting him to go off like that... and I really wasn't expecting him to drop. I was mad, and thought that he should know Gabe pretty much took a knife for him.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:15 am

Amanda: Hey don't worry about it.... Alex doesn't even talk to us about how bad his condition is, so how the hell were you supposed to know right?

And as far as your reaction goes.... you love Gabe it's natural.... I'm sure Lexi would have gone apeshit if she'd been around for all the times Alex has gone to jail for Gabe whooping somebody's ass....

She giggles.

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:19 am

Nikki: Who pissed off Gabe that much?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:31 am

Amanda thinks for a moment.

Amanda: Well.... there was the time in LA where that dude tried to grope me in the club......... oh and in high school where this jock kid went around calling me a slut and Jay a nerd..... um.... Alex had to physically restrain Gabe in Chinadoll when that asshole was hitting on you and Jess..... heh.... Gabe would have done exactly what Alex did to that guy today if he wasn't so busy stopping Alex from doing it. Pretty much messing with somebody he loves will set him off.

She shrugs

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:40 am

Nikki grins.

Nikki: Anybody messes with me, Gabe had better get there quick or there won't be anything left for him.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:47 am

Amanda laughs.

Amanda: Heh..... I noticed..... I've seen you pissed off before.

Look.... um.... sorry for evesdropping..... but I couldn't help overhear that you have some.... let's call them reservations.... about the initiation..... I know it doesn't make much sense..... I just wanted you to know that if you have any questions, or if you need some help understanding it or whatever..... just let me know.... I'll do my best to explain it.

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:58 am

Nikki crosses her arms.

Nikki: Fine then, what's the point? I don't feel the need to prove myself to anyone in your family to have the "right" to be with Gabe.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 11:03 am

Amanda: Of course you don't... you don't have to prove anything, to anyone.... except yourself.

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 11:15 am

Nikki: Then what is the point of the initiation?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 11:37 am

Amanda: To prove to yourself how deep your love for him actually goes.....

Trust me Nikki I've been through the initiation.... there is a big difference between THINKING you'd do anything for someone..... and knowing that you've already done it. You will endure things that you didn't think possible.... you will be pushed past your every limit FOR HIM.... and he will suffer far worse.... he will have to just stand there and watch.... not do a damn thing to stop it..... just watch..... and know that you will do anything for him.... and as you see what HE is enduring for you.... you will know the same.

No hyperbole..... no idle words " I'd do anything just to be with you".... actual, physical, tangible proof.... that your love for each other is unshakeable..... that nothing on the face of this earth will ever come between you... that there is no sacrifice you wouldn't make for each other.

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 12:56 pm

Nikki: I already said I'd do it.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 12:59 pm

Amanda: Yes you did.... but you said you wanted to know what the point was....

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:38 pm

Nikki: It just seems a very odd thing.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 2:12 pm

Amanda: I suppose it is.... but we've never really given much of a crap about what people consider normal.... it works for us and the people we care about..... that's all that matters really.

Pockets Tue Feb 07, 2012 2:24 pm

Nikki: I see. I gotta go, kinda left Uncle Ash high and dry.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 07, 2012 2:28 pm

Amanda: Sure thing, don't let me keep you.

She smiles.
