*Nikki & Sandi Pt. 18*



They spent alot of the week out by the pool, the weather was great, and Sandi's tan was looking good, not to mention Nikkis-They went shopping together, replacing some of the things she'd lost in her apt., in the fire- Nikki helped picked several outfits he liked, and while she was busy looking at some boots, he left to use the restroom-
At home, he told her they were going out to dinner, at one of the best in town, so get dolled up- the phone rang, Sandi looked at Nikki,
"It's probably Tommy again, it's you're turn-" he rolled his eyes and picked up while she got ready-
It was CeeJae, letting Nikki know she was back in town, and had an apt., but she didn't want Tommy or Vince knowing where- He told her how tore up Tommy was over her, how he was calling 50 times a day, whining about her, etc.
He told her he & Sandi were going out for a romantic dinner, and he'd talk to her soon- then he got ready himself, telling Sandi what Ceej had said- Sandi was glad, Ceej had been so bummed about their apt., not to mention the guys-
Sandi was dressed in a red dress that went down to her ankles, jagged hem, slightly ruffled, low cut in front, tight waist, it was silky and beautiful- Nikki grinned from ear to ear when he saw her,
"Baby, you knock me out every time I see you-" she smiled,
"You look handsome tonight, wearing a dinner jacket & all-" he was wearing a maroonish type slacks & matching jacket, sort of silkish too, a black dress shirt, no tie, very hot ! She went over to him, putting her arms around his neck, kissing him, he asked,
"Are you ready to go, or are we going to get hung up here again ?" she laughed,
"That can come later, I wanna show you off, all dressed up like a gentleman-" he laughed, teasing,
"That's it, I'm changing my clothes-" she tightened her grip,
"You are not !" he kissed her, quite passionately, she pulled back finally, "Ok, we better get out of here, or we'll never leave !" he smiled and they left-
He drove like a bat out of hell, he & the guys all had a habit of doing that, like they didn't realize there were speed limits posted anywhere- it didn't bother Sandi, she was used to it by now- when they pulled up to "Spagos" she was shocked,
"Don't you have to be on like a waiting list for months ?" he smiled, helping her out of the car,
"Sure, but not when you used to date one of the hostesses !!" she raised her eyebrows, he smiled, "It was a long time ago, don't worry about it-" she shrugged,
"I wasn't worried-" he grinned,
"Liar-" they got a table by the window, candle light, he ordered champagne, Sandi looked at him,
"Champagne ? What's up ?"
"Well, we've been going out, what ? Two months now ?" she nodded,
"Yes-" the champagne came & was poured, their orders taken, Nikki went back to what he was saying,
"I've come to realize I want you in my life...not just to keep me entertained, but I want everyone to know you're mine- That we're a real couple, ya know what I'm saying ?" she was too stunned to speak, he reached across and held her hands, "Baby, I'm in love with you- I want you to wear this-" he handed her a small velvet box- she was shocked,
"Well, open it !!" she did, it was a black hills ring, with a heart and rose, two small diamonds in between them- her heart stopped, words escaped her, "Well ? What do you think baby ?" she swallowed hard, finally saying in a raspy voice,
"It's beautiful Nikki- But-" he cut her off,
"No 'buts', I just want you to wear it to show you belong to me, so other guys know you've got a guy-" he took it & slid it on her ring finger, "Perfect fit-" she managed,
"Nikki, I don't have anything for you- When did you get this ? We're always together-" he smiled,
"Going to the restroom when we're shopping has it's advantages !" she shook her head,
"You're something else babe-" he leaned over & kissed her,
"Like I said, I love you Sandi-" she had tears in her eyes,
"I love you too Nikki-" they ate dinner & headed back home, they both sighed when they saw Tommys car in the driveway- he knew the code to Nikkis gate, and had keys to the house- Nikki shook his head,
"Damn it ! I told CeeJae to talk to him !" Sandi smiled weakly,
"She probably did, he just might not have been happy with what she had to say-" they went inside, Tommy was in the bar, helping himself to the whiskey- Nikki went over,
"Hey dude, how much have you had ?" Tommy drank right from the bottle,
"Not enough-" Sandi smiled,
"I'll make some coffee-" Tommy whistled,
"Looking good Sandi-" she thanked him & went to the kitchen, while Nikki tried to find out what had happened-
