Nikolas walked into Kelly's looking for Gia. He shook his head and smiled when he spotted her in the corner. He couldn't explain nor did he try but his whole world seemed brighter and livelier when she was around. She was taking her hair out of a ponytail and shaking it lose, her beautiful black curls tumbled down her shoulders. He stood ther memorized by her every movement. He watched as she ran her fingers through her hair wishing they were his. His breath got caught in his throat as he watched her lean her head back and begin to massage her shoulders. God she's beautiful he thought to himself as he watched her, he moved slowly towards her table never taking his eyes off her.

He sat down and leaned towards as she moaned lightly obviously enjoying the self massage.

After a few minutes Tatiana felt someone watching her. She opened her eyes and looked at the handsome young stranger sitting across from her. Once he smiled she knew it must be Nikolas. Her sister had described in great detail his smile in her letters.

She smiled back at him "Hey Nik, so how long have you been staring??"

"Not nearly long enough" he told her smiling at the way she was slightly blushing.

"So tell me Nikki..." she began leaning towards him smiling"...how would Gia feel if she saw you flirting with her baby sister??

"Baby sister..." he stuttered "And I wasn't flirting"

"For someone who wasn't flirting, why are you sweating?" she asked as she chuckled. Tatiana leaned back in her seat "So when you gonna tell her how you feel??"

"I don't know what you're talking about" he stumbled with more conviction than he felt.

"Sure ya don't, Nikki" she teased him

"So Gia's baby sister..." he nervously started trying to change the subject "...do you have a name??"

"Tatiana"

Before anymore could be said Liz came bouncing over to thier table. "Hey Nik" she said with as much enthiusiasm(sp?) as a high school cheerleader at her first pep rally. "Gia" she said the enthuiasm gone.

"Tatiana"

"What are you pulling now??" Liz asked disgusted.

"My name is Tatiana, not Gia"

"Yeah Well Whatever.." she told her as she sat down "So Nik what are you up to??"

"Please...have a seat" Tatian told Liz. Nik shot her the same look he was always shooting Gia. He was quickly finding out that there were more similarities to the the twins than looks

"Don't you have someone to blackmail??"

"Hey, I didn't ask you to come over here!!"

"Tatiana" Nikolas warned her.

"Nikolas" she imitated. Nikolas just smiled at her and shook his head.

"What because you took your braids out you think you're a different person??" Liz asked her rudely

"I haven't worn braids since I was 6 and I am a different person. My name is Tatiana Adella Campbell, your thinking of my older sister Gia..." before she could say her middle name a hand clamped over her mouth. There was NO way Gia was gonna let them know her middle name was Elizabeth.
