Meant to be [Nikolai]

Magdalena knew, quite well, that Nikolai hated the nightclub. Flat out despised it. He also happened to know that Magdalena liked to party. So, the night club was a sore topic for both of them.They could never agree on it, and normally she chose to avoid talking about it. Not that arguing with him wasn't fun... It actually was. That wasn't the point though. The point was she'd asked him to come to the club tonight.

No, really, she had.

She might have asked him in a letter, but she'd still done it. She'd made a decision, and she wanted to tell him in person before going through with it. She was going to put in her two weeks notice at the club. And she desperately wanted to tell him before actually going through with it, to solidify the decision in her mind and will. To muster up the courage to actually do it. That was why she wanted him to come tonight. To tell him, so that by the end of her shift she could tell her boss.

Tonight had been like most others, but her heart wasn't in it. Because the whole night she'd been preoccupied to see if he had arrived, searching for him. And each time she was disappointed. Had he ignored her letter? Had he not seen it? Where was Nikolai? She let out a sigh, leaning up against the counter of the bar. The bartender gave her a small smile. "Waiting for prince charming?" He asked with a smug smile, she shot him a look, rolling her eyes, and sighing once more. "Is it that obvious?" she responded, and got a very strong nod in return. "Your usuals can tell too, they're getting anxious-" He started, pointing to a group of men that frequented the club for the past few months. She didn't look to see who they were, didn't care to. "I don't care. He's supposed to be here." She snapped, pushing away from the bar and wandering off, both annoyed and upset by his absence.

Nikolai had received a letter from Magdalena the other night requesting his presence at the night club this day. He wasn't so sure as to why she wanted him there but it had to be with good reason, right? His brain was thinking up every possibility as to why Magi wanted him to go along with her to work, but none of them seemed to be really true to heart. Either way, he'd most likely show up. Whether or not he'd be there the whole home or come close to the end was the biggest question.

Wearing black dress pants again and boots, Niko tried to go for something a little different and he wore a light blue silk button down shirt. It was very flattering on him, and it brought out the green in his eyes. As soon as he entered the club, his eyes began searching the darkness, trying to find her dark hair adorned down her back. She was no where to be seen...

His feet brought him back to the bar where the man he had spoken to that one night was there. Niko nodded at him and asked for a water. As he began chugging it, his eyes finally spotted her. Nikolai put the cup down and skillfully made his way through the crowd. "Olli! Olli I'm over here!"

Magdalena pushed her way through a group of people, her annoyance obviously as she huffed at one of them that made a flirtatious joke about her having a drink with them. That shut them up pretty quick, and she was on her way, searching the other side of the club. That was the problem with it, when it was packed, you couldn't see to the other side at all. For all she knew, he was already here trying to find her and they just kept missing each other. Totally and completely possible...

With another sigh, she turned, heading back towards the bar. That was usually a good starting point, because it was a.... land mark of sorts. Even though the club was dark, and loud, she'd recognize Nikolai's voice anywhere. Calling out her name. She turned, her chocolate colored eyes searching the crowd. Where..... Where was he?

When she finally spotted him, she felt that anger and frustration just melt away, her almost scowling replaced with gasp and then grin. He was moving towards her, making his way through the crowd with grace that only a Seeker could have. She turned and quickly covered the remaining distance, her grin growing with each step. "Hey." She greeted rather cheerfully, leaning in to take both his hands in her own and plant a kiss on his cheek. "And here I was think you might not show."

As soon as Magdalena spotted him, he saw her emotions take a turn and she became happy and excited. He grinned back at her, amused with her annoyance at him. As soon as she grabbed his hands he gave hers a tight squeeze. And then she kissed his cheek, and wow did Nikolai just want to pick her up and carry her out of there. Of course, he couldn't, as she was working, and that probably wouldn't be the best of choices to make. Ugh. She was working. Niko's eyes glanced around, seeing mostly men around watching the dancers, and woman dancing. Anger resettled in the pit of his stomach and he looked back to Magi.

"Why wouldn't I show?" He rose an eyebrow at her. "The only way I wouldn't show is for good reason, you know that. No need to get all annoyed cause you couldn't find me." Niko was of course joking with her, and he hoped she realized that. A smirk made it's way to his face as he shook his head at her. "So...what was of such utter importance that I had to come to this place?" Nikolai had his own ideas, and although he didn't want to ask her at the club...he couldn't wait any longer to ask her.

@jill9

Magdalena noticed how his gaze moved, taking in the people around him. The slight anger that follows didn't surprise her at all. She was actually quite used to it by this point. He always got a little flustered when he saw other people watching her. She never even noticed it anymore. "Well, you do seem to like annoying me." she teased lightly back. But to be honest? She liked annoying him too. He was cute when flustered.

And then he was asking why she had asked him to come. She grinned up at him. "What, I can't just want to see you?" she asked slyly. None the less she looked around, trying to find s less crowded part of the club, so they couldn't talk and not be at risk of people bumping into them. She let go of one of his hands, still holding the other, and pulled him in the direction of the corner.

Nikolai shrugged his shoulders. "Well...I suppose I do enjoy annoying you. But it's not my fault you work in such a busy, crowded place!" It actually disgusted Niko that this place was always so busy. Yeah, he knew people enjoyed dancing, drinking and getting laid. But the girls who worked there shouldn't have to be practically naked to get people to go there or get business. It was sad, and he felt bad for those who had to succumb to such things.

He rose an eyebrow at her and gave her a face. Just as quickly, though, she began dragging him to a different area of the club. He had no idea what her ideas were, but he'd love some alone time with her. Nikolai hadn't seen her in a while, and he wanted to just...well, ravage her with kisses. He smirked as they stopped walking. "Well, you don't have to see me here. I could've met you at your place." Now that he thought about it, Magdalena has never been to his house.

@jill9

Magdalena pouted a little at him. He made it sound like crowded busy places were terrible. "I happen to like busy and crowded places." she retorted, that pout still in place. Not necessarily everything that accompanied it, but she liked partying, and you couldn't do that alone. Her social skills might have suffered quite a bit since everything that happened with her parents, but that didn't mean she hated people now. She just.... Didn't always know how to relate to them anymore.

Away from at least most of the crowd, Magdalena turned back to Nikolai, stepping close to him once more and tilting her head as she looked up at him. "It's so much funner here though." was her response as she took that hand she was still holding and placed it on her waist. "Besides.... Maybe I needed some of your courage for the rest of tonight." She added, the ton in her voice making it obvious that she was up to something. Or at least had a very specific reason for his presence tonight. With him here, she wouldn't back down from putting in her notice. Because once she told him, she wouldn't be able to face him until it was done. "But first, I want a proper greeting..." She spoke softer then. She hadn't seen him in several days after all. Leaning into him, she pressed her lips against his. It'd been far to long since she'd kissed him.

Nikolai shook his head at her. Of course they were complete opposites, she enjoyed public places and he could not stand them...ever. It wasn't a surprise that Niko didn't like them, but he'd survive them for her.

His brows rose at Magdalena's comment. His courage? For what? "Why do you need my courage?" What did she plan on doing? Hopefully nothing embarrassing and obnoxious. Nikolai wouldn't be able to deal with that. And then she leaned against him, and kissed him, and Niko melted. His arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her close, kissing her deeply.

@jill9

Magdalena tilted her head from side to side at his question, as if taunting him as she decided if she'd answer or not. "Hmmmm a number of reasons." She whispered slyly, a matching smirk on her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself right up against him as they kissed. She kissed him passionately for several more moments before breaking the kiss, but not pulling away at all. "That, for instance. And this." She kissed him again. Just as deeply, but not as long. "I can keep going, if you want." she offered, looking smug and content. She wasn't having second thoughts about telling him, but she also didn't want to rush into it, just because once she told him? He'd probably want her to go notify her boss right then and there. She'd like just a few more minutes with him before having to rush off.

Magdalena kissed him, and this time, it was long. Nikolai kissed her back, enjoying the moment he had with her. And she pulled back, before doing it again. When she finally stop and spoke, his eyes glared at her, filled with lust, and as he had his hands on her hips already, he pushed her into the wall and smirked. Niko brought his hands up to her face and let them rest of her cheeks as he leaned down to kiss her. "Now... Why'd you have to stop?"

[Deleted]

@jill9

Magdalena would have thought Nikolai would be a bit more.... shy when it came to public displays of affection. He didn't like people, or crowded places. So, it wasn't that hard of a jumpt to assume he wouldn't enjoy being so open about..... Whatever this was. She wasn't actually sure. Were they together? They hadn't actually said they were. But did people ask officially these days? Either way, she didn't think he'd so freely kiss her that this inside the nightclub. She wasn't complaining though!

He was both glaring and smirking at her in the same moment, and she grinned back, pleased that she'd managed to get that sort of reaction from him. She was pressed up against the wall, pinned there by his own body as he hands moved to her cheeks. "I told you I could keep going..." She muttered softly in response as he leaned back down to kiss her again. She leaned up into it immediately, kissing him back passionately and almost desperately.

Nikolai assumed Magi was in a bit of a shock at his forwardness. But he couldn't help it. When he was around her, he didn't really notice anyone else. It was just Magdalena, all the time. Her beauty consumed him, and it was something that he knew was helping him. She was helping him become who he was supposed to be, to not be so hidden and afraid of the world.

Magdalena continued kissing him, and he kissed her back just as much. He didn't want this to stop. But then again, she said he needed his courage. What for, Nikolai still wasn't sure. He moved his hands back down to her waist and pulled back slowly, his breathing heavy and his cheeks a light pink. He rose an eyebrow at her, tilting his head. "Now, Olli, what is it you needed my courage for? You can't hide it all night." Niko smirked, awaiting an answer. She seemed a bit nervous, but he had no idea what for.

@jill9

When he broke the kiss this time he pulled away. Magdalena immediately scowled, and tried to lean back in a bit to stop his small retreat. She would have just kept kissing him right then and there if she had the option, but he seemed more determined to get answers then anything else. Normally his determination and stubbornness was attractive, but right now it was preventing her from kissing him. "Not all night." She retorted, that scowling turning into a coy smile. "Just a few more minutes, please?" she softly added, a small amount of begging in her voice as that smile turned to an adorable pout. "Waiting just a little longer won't hurt."

She leaned into him, and Nikolai leaned backwards more, smirking at her. She was quite amusing when she didn't get what she wanted, especially a kiss. Niko liked this side of her...wanting and needing. It made him feel like he was in charge of their kisses and he laughed. "Waiting a little longer will hurt my brain if I have to think about it anymore!" Nikolai let out a small chuckle, shaking his head as he looked down at the floor. Smirking, with his hands still on her hips, he pulled her close to his body roughly, and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Don't you worry, Olli. You can have more of me later."

[Deleted]

@jill9

How was Nikolai doing that? Leaning away when she leaned in? Her expression gave away her immediate frustration with him. Not the usual frustration though. Her usual frustration ended in her retreating and just ignoring him. Today though? She just wanted to draw closer, the pull almost magnetizing. None the less, she didn't lean forward again, instead just leaning back against the wall with a soft huff. "Then don't think about it so hard." was her snippy response. And then, he drew her close again, using his hands at her waist to draw her against his body and whispered in her ear. Magdalena just melted in his arms, his at her waist and hers around his shoulders being the only thing supporting her in that moment. "I'll hold you to that." She breathed back. Finally she let out a soft breath, because admitting her plan meant she'd have to do it now. Which meant she'd have to leave him for at least a short time. "I'm going to quit." She whispered, just so he'd hear.
