The threesome talked and laughed all the way to Deception, they were still lauging as they stepped of the elevator. Laura couldn't help but smile when she heard the sound of laughter.
When the group stepped off the elevator Tatiana excused herself to the ladies room.
Nikolas and Gia walked into Laura's office only to see Stefan arguing with Laura.
"Why are you badgering my mother?" Nikolas asked
"Stefan was just leaving." Laura answered not wanting a fight to start.
"No, answer me. Stefan, why are you bothering laura?" Nikolas asked agaian
Stefan finally speaking told him "Because you refuse to listen. Don't expect me to stand by while you give in to your worst impulses." Tatiana walked in just in time to hear the last part.
"Which would be me, right?" Gia interrupted
"or could it be me??" Tatiana asked stepping beside her sister.
Stefan was taken back for a minute, he didn't know Gia had a sister and he to admit that the 2 sisters were absolutly beautiful when they were angry. "This is none of your concern."
"You know who you sound like, stef? Your mother." Gia told him
Remembering everything Gia had told her Tatiana asked Stefan "Don't you have anything to do with your life at all? I mean, can't you and psycho granny find somebody else to bother? Because this thing the two of you have with bothering my sister is getting old."
"I don't have to listen to this." Stefan told the sisters. Nikolas and Laura stood back and watched fascinated with how the two girls were handling Stefan.
"Oh, but you well" Tatiana told him placing one hand on her hip and pointing at him with the other
"Oh, why not? Because I'm not appropriate? I'm not a suitable liaison? Because I'm black? Or you know, maybe because i'm nothing like you -- thank god. You've done nothing but jerk nikolas around his whole life. You act like you care so much, pretend to love him like a son, but all you really want is his money, huh?" Gia told him trying to control her anger.
Almost like it was a well practiced act Tatiana picked up where her sister left off "And you expect him to love you while you're stealing every dime. You don't deserve for him to love you. You know what? You don't deserve to be in the same room with him."
"You know nothing about nikolas and even less about me!" was Stefan's only response to the girls accusations.
"I know all I want to know about you...your worthless" the sisters said in unison
"Leave now." Nikolas said, not wanting to see the sisters get anymore upset then they already were. He could see the tears in thier eyes threatning to fall.
"You can't see the truth, can you, nikolas?" Stefan asked.
"Oh, yeah. I'm beginning to." Nikolas told him coldly. Stefan realizing he had been defeated if only for today stormed out of the room.
"Psycho granny"? Laura asked
"I go off sometimes." Gia explained.
"me, too" Tatiana added
"Oh, my god." Nikolas said
"Wow." Laura said
"Did you see his face?" Nikolas asked
"I am very impressed with you both. I don't think we've met, my name is Laura Spencer" Laura extended her hand out to Tatiana
"Tatiana Campbell, Gia's younger sister. Its nice to meet you" Tatiana said as she shook her hand
"Whew." Nikolas sighed
"I'm really sorry if i made things worse." Gia aplogized.
"me too. I just couldn't help it." Tatiana aplogized.
"No, no. Gia,Tati, you -- you were great." Nikolas told them. Tatiana smiled at the use of her sister's nickname for her.
"Has -- has stefan been up here before?" Nikolas asked
"I can handle your uncle."
"Ok. In other words, yes."
"It's you i'm worried about, nikolas."
"I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. I just gave gia and tati a ride and wanted to say hello. We weren't expecting any fireworks."
"Elton called and said to come right over, so here i am." Gia told Laura
"Gia's test shots came in, and I thought that you might like to see them." Laura said handing the pictures to Tataina
The group sit on the couch and start looking at the pictures with Tatiana in the middle.
"No, no. Let me -- let me see some here." Nikolas told Gia.
The group murmured over the pictures each exclaiming how pretty the pictures were and how beautiful Gia was. After awhile they handed the pictures back to Laura and said thier goodbyes.
Tatiana stood in the corner of the elevator and smiled as she watched Nikolas stare at her sister and stand next to her obviously not wanting to stand too close.
As they walked outside of the building, Tatiana faked a yawn "ya know guys I'm getting kind of sleepy, so i think I'm gonna head back to the hotel.
"are you sure, squirt?? Nikolas asked her
"yeah, I am. You guys should go out and celebrate those. Gia those pictures were wonderful"
"Thanks, sis. We'll come see you tomorrow"
"okay" she said as she hugged her sister. She hugged Nikolas and told the two goodnight and started to walk off to the hotel.
Just then Sonny drove by, he couldn't help but smile as he saw the teenagers hugging. ah to be that young and carefree he thought. He realized that it wasn't Liz or Emily hugging Nikolas but an exact replica to Gia. It can't be her he thought as the car passed them by.
