Love is in the Air

Nicole’s POV:

“Andy! Put me down!” I squeal, making him only increase his speed.

I cling to him for dear life, grasping my tiny hands onto his shoulders and burying my head into his neck. I miss his long hair sometimes, but the new look really suites him. It makes him look older, more mature. Plus I know that he secretly cut it to look better with me, as he’s always going on about how people look at us funny when we’re together. I don’t notice, I’ve never noticed, to entranced with actually being attached to his side to care.

“Hold on babe! We’re almost there! Just a little longer, promise!” He laughs as I begin to shriek.

“That’s what you said about folding the laundry, and that’s still not done!” I scold in between my screaming.

He laughs again, but begins to slow down steadily. I peek out from my hiding place and glance at our surroundings. Andy’s grip on my legs slackens, and he bends down slightly, letting me slide off his back. I stare at the scenery in awe, my mouth slightly agape as he nervously runs a hand through his now short hair.

I spin in a circle a couple times, taking in the view before turning back to him, my eyes meeting his blue ones.

“Do you like it?” He asks nervously, looking at the ground and then at me.

I smile widely and nod, and je smiles back, picking me up and twirling around. I giggle as he spins me, and in an attempt to slow us down, I wrap my legs around his waist, making him lose his balance slightly, and we both go toppling over, still laughing.

He groans as he sits up a little to rub his head, wincing. I smile affectionate at him, and crawl up his torso, playing with the ends of his hair “Aww, you okay sweetie?” I ask in a baby voice.

“Shut up,” he groans, “it’s your fault anyways.”

I pout, “was not!”

“Was too!”

“Not!”

“Too!”

“Fine, would a kiss make it better?” I finally ask, giving him what he wants. He’s such a child at times.

He grins cheekily, and nods eagerly.

I roll my eyes and press my lips to his head, before pulling back, smirking a little. “Better?”

“No!” He whines, trying to pull me down for a real kiss but I’m already on my feet, skipping to the ocean.

“Nicki! Come back!” He calls, scrambling to his feet, the sand slowing him down a little.

I giggle, “catch me if you can Andy Sixx!” I taunt further, nearing the splashing water.

He makes another adorable whiney sound, “I told you not to call me that anymore!”

I stick my tongue out as response and step into the cool water, letting out a deep breath just as arms snake around me waist. I squeak as he hoists me over his shoulder and begins to run into the tide with me beating on his back. He laughs but simply tightens his hold on me, before he promptly tosses me into the sea.

Airborne, I get a sinister idea. I suck in a quick breath, and close my eyes as I make contact with the water, doing my best to remain motionless as I reach the surface. Andy’s laughter echoes around me, but it soon dies down as realization begins to set it.

“Nicki? Nicki? Nicole! C’mon Nic, don’t do that. Can you hear me? Nicki baby!” He begins to panic, raising me in his arms.

He quickly rushes to shore with me in his arms and stets me down on the warm sand, doing a check for injuries. He drops to his knees and checks for a pulse, though I am clearly breathing. I do my best to calm my racing pulse, and I’m successful my Andy’s frustration.

“Nicki, come on, wake up baby. Valentine’s isn’t even over, and you didn’t get your present yet. You’d haunt me forever if I let that happen, right babe? Please Nicole, please, I love you.”

“There’s a part two to my present?” I ask, unable to keep the act up any longer.

He gasps and his eyes widen, before narrowing. He stands up abruptly while I sit up on my forearms, fighting my smile.

“You son of a bitch, why would you do that? I was so fucking scared!” He says angrily, pacing in front of me.

“Daughter,” I interject suddenly, making him freeze in place.

“What?”

“Daughter of a bitch,” I shrug, “since I’m a girl, I’m not sure if you noticed.”

He stills, and then bursts out laughing, and I join him. The tension already fading away into nonexistent. He offers me a hand and pulls me up, hugging me close. “never do anything like that again,” he breathes in my ear, the trance of his laughter ringing in my ears.

I nod and he kisses my cheek, “good, cause you’re stuck with me babe,” he winks.

“forever?” I question, raising an eyebrow.

He smiles, “ forever.”

I kiss his lips lightly, “happy Valentine’s Andy.”
