up here, and I thought we needed to talk.”
    “Talk? Because of what, Nico? You don’t owe me an explanation for anything. I am not your girl. You have the right to talk to anyone you want,” she said, not looking at him.
    Nico put his hand under her chin and made her look at him. She tried to turn, but he held her firm.
    “Shontell, that woman is not anyone I would want to be with…at least not anymore. That was my ex, Tina. We broke up nearly four years ago. I haven’t seen her since she left. She claimed she just saw me this morning and didn’t know we were staying here.”
    “Do you believe her?”
    “I don’t know yet. But the thing you need to understand is that I don’t care. She’s in my past. I don’t go backwards…ever,” he told her, never breaking the eye contact they shared.
    Shontell didn’t say anything, but inside she let the breath go that she was holding. Her insides were doing flips. Shontell watched his expression. At that moment, it was a little amusing. Maybe he could see her turning inside out. She shifted her weight to her other foot. She was completely caught off guard by what happened next. Nico leaned in toward her and kissed her slowly at first. Shontell felt his tongue part her lips and she stepped in closer to him; they kissed deeply. Shontell was the first to break the kiss and move away. She needed to regain her thoughts quickly.
    “I’m not so sure you should have done that...,” she said, looking at him, “...as good as it felt.” She touched her lips with the back of her hand. Nico laughed, and she wanted to fall through the floor because she knew he heard what she said. 
    “Listen, I don’t know what it is about you that has me so drawn to you. I would like to find out if you will let me. Please don’t let what happened earlier stop that. I can more than guarantee that Tina will never be an issue. Just hear me out first. Even when you did the meet and greets, I wanted to say something. I didn’t want you to think I wanted you as the fan of the night. I still have every last one of your cards. I always wished you had left a number or something. The words in your cards told me that you weren’t that type of person. I know this might be a lot to take in, so I will give you some time to give me an answer. I’ll see you at dinner,” Nico said. He walked the few steps that separated them and kissed her softly on the forehead. He then left her room.
    Once again, Shontell was left floored by his actions. She could still feel the imprint of his lips on hers. She wanted to jump up and down for joy. This had never happened to her before; it had never been even close with Jesse. She twirled around the room and landed on her bed. She pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. She had to tell Sandy. She grabbed her phone, sending her friend a video message instead of a long text. Her hands were still shaking from the excitement.
     
     

Nico
     
    Nico closed the door behind him and leaned against it. He chuckled at his bravado. This woman had him spinning, and her kiss was just like he thought it would be. It was soft, sweet, and mind blowing. He took a deep breath and knew that everything was in her hands now. He went to his room to get his gym bag and head to the work-out room for a bit, but he was sidetracked by David. It looked like he had been waiting on him. He wasn’t surprised when he wanted to talk. He got him through those days after his break up with Tina.
    “Hey, man, got a minute?” David asked. 
    “Sure, what’s up?”
    “I just wanted to come check on you. That scene with Tina blew my mind. I didn’t think she would be bold enough to even speak.”
    “Yeah, I am still trying to understand that for real. I know she is up to something, but I don’t even care. Shontell is the total opposite of what I had with Tina.”
    “Speaking of Shontell, Dennis told me he saw you coming out of her room this morning. That’s not usually your
