"Hmm, I guess your right." Sighing playfully when she pushed him, "I always thought I looked younger. I don't want to imagine what I'll look like when I AM old." He laughed light hearheartedly. "Well I dunno. There have been plenty of times today you've put me off guard. You seem to do that to me." He gave her a wink when another thought came to his head. "You COULD have pulled it from my brain...maybe.." His sentence strailed off and his mind forgot about the rest.

Nicki grabbed his hands in hers. "...none of that now." Looking at her, he made a resigned smile. "Okay, but what about this?" Stepping into her space, barely inches between them, he leaned down and kissed the girl on her lips.

"I guess I could have...but I usually remember doing that kind of stuff and I don't remember that bit of information..."

Nicki was about to say something when Kaz moved in and kissed her. Nicki was shocked to say the least. she doubted her eyes even closed fully. As Kaz pulled away, Nicki looked at his face deeply, seeming to be looking for something. Her mind was bubbiling over with thoughts. Was she really kissing a guy she had known for less than a day? What did this mean between them? Was she crazy for wanting to do it again?

Nicki smiled, pushing out the thoughts and fears, and leaned in to kiss Kaz again.

Kaz had thought Nicki's lips looked soft, but not as soft or smooth as they really were. His lips were electric as he pulled away slowly, looking at the girl in front of him. He didn't want to pull away, but a kiss longer than that might be awkward, at first. That electric feeling moved accross his body and down his spine, something he hadn't felt in a long time. It seemed as if time slowed, the moment stretching forever. He didn't know what would happen, how she would react, what whe would say. When she leaned forwards to kiss him, he leaned in as well. He brought up the thoughts and memories of their recent conversation, when she told him how she felt. Thinking as clearly as he could, he brought these words to his mind, <This is my answer>. Moving his hands from hers, he reached around and pulled her into a hug as well as a kiss.

Nicki wrapped her arms around Kaz's neck, indulging slightly as she pressed a little closer, before pulling away again, letting her forehead rest against Kaz's. She was just...very overwhelmed. She inhaled deeply, trying to make sure her knees didn't buckle.

She wanted to tell him something. She wanted to say how amazing that was or how this kind of stuff never happened to her and she was feeling very special; that she would never usually move this quickly with someone. She wantedt to saying anything. She couldn't find the words.

Kaz felt like he was floating. Hell, maybe he was, he couldn't see, his eyes were closed. He liked this feeling. When her arms wrapped around his neck, a shiver ran down his spine. When the kiss ended, they stood there, looking into eachother's eyes. He felt a quiver run through her body, and moved his arm to her waist, to help hold her up. He didn't know what else to do, except smile. Which he did. A very innocent, boyish smile. Lifting his other hand, he brought it up to Nicki's face, and gently traced around her ear, down her cheekbone, to her chin, which he lifted and gave her a quick kiss. "Ahh...I...Maybe, we should," His voice was inconsistant, he didn't want to move, but he knew they should. They were sticking out like a sore thumb. "Umm, head back."

Nicki smiled as a grin spread across Kaz's face: he had a really honest smile...she really liked that. She still blushed a little as Kaz's fingers ran down her cheek, smiling happily as her cheeks flushed just a little. She could always just pretend it was the wind.

"Yeah...we probably should. I mean..." Nicki bit her lower lip, looking around again. In all honesty, she didn't want to leave. She wanted to stand there and keep kissing Kaz but he was right; they should head back to the mansion. "You're right."

Kaz took her hand in his, and began to walk toward the mansion. He didn't know Nicki too well, only for some hours. But he was comfterble with her. He wasn't comfterble with many people, and never this quickly. Wanting to be closer to her, he let go of her hand and put it around her waist.

As they walked past the gates of the mansion and in through the doors, Kaz stoped. Looking at the girl next to him, he felt lost, he didn't know what to do. On one hand, he wanted to stay next to her, but on the other, he knew he needed to check in with The Order. "Still wanna head to your room and read? Or is there something else you'd like to do?"

Nicki walked happily with Kaz, cuddling up to him as she walked. This was really nice. The city and Kaz and just...she was really happy to be here. As they approached the mansion, Nicki tried to think of something to say. She was at a loss. She wasn't sure how to act or react.

"Still wanna head to your room and read? Or is there something else you'd like to do?"

Nicki wasn't sure how to answer that one. She wanted to spend more time with Kaz (she felt like the day had just begun) but she wasn't sure if he was trying to say he needed to do other stuff. She got the feeling that he had something he needed to do and she didn't want to keep him from that.

"You got something you need to take care of?" Nicki asked, looking up to Kaz. "Cause if you do, that's perfectly okay. If you have the time I'd love to hang around you more, but we can always raincheck it if you have something you need to handle." Nicki smiled before looking down a little, biting her lip. "You...would wanna raincheck it right?" she asked.

<She's smart, or is it her gift?> Kaz smiled at her. "Sort of. I should check in with work. Though it's not a job in the normal sense, I'm not official nor do I get paid. We work with mutants. Kinda like a support group for out of control teens, but for young muties." He made a slight chuckle, "I'm kinda the muscle, like an orderly at a hospital or a bouncer at a club. Make sure no one gets out of control. If they do, I defuse it any way I can."

Turning to face her, "Thank you." Smiling, "I really hope you don't think I'm trying to get away from you..." He trailed off, his voice serious and hopeful. He didn't want her to think that at all. "I have a vested interest in a couple of the kids, otherwise I'd love to stay with you longer." Reaching up, he brushed a few hairs from the side of her face, tucking them behind her ear. "I'd love a raincheck." Leaning down, he gave her a kiss. As he stood up straight, he took a step back, "Umm...do you have a cell or a number I can reach you?" Kaz asked, hopefully.

Nicki smiled as Kaz told her about the entire support group for the young "muties" as he called them. She knew he wasn't the asshole he wanted everyone to think he was. She smiled, kissing him happily.

"Okay, I believe you aren't trying to ditch me" Nicki smiled, taking his hand and pulling the pen out of her pocket. She wrote down her cell phone number. "But seriously Kaz, I *do* live in the mansion, and apparently you do to so you can always just come and see me. I live with the girl with the cat ears...say that and anyone'll show you the right room" Nicki smiled, pulling on her earlobe a little again.

Kaz took the paper that had Nicki's number on it. He put it in his pocket as she spoke. "...and apparently so do you..." <Only part time.> Inwardly he smiled. When she pulled on her earlobe, Kaz chuckled, he found it cute. "The cat-girl huh? So you did get to be roomies after all. Make sure to keep a lint roller with you, she might shed." His comment was of corse a joke. "True, we both are here, but, who's to say I won't call you when I'm done to see what you're up to, or if you wanna do something?" He stuck his tongue out a pit playfully. "I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise."

Nicki smiled happily as he slipped his hand into his pocket. "You can call me whenever you want..." Nicki smiled sweetly, leaning up and kissing Kaz gently again. "I hope things are okay in your support group. Maybe you can take me there sometime...I'd like to see where you work and how you operate. But yeah, some other time" Nicki smiled. "Call me soon okay?"

"Maybe you can take me there sometime...." A red flag went off in his head. He shut his brain up, he didn't need to think too much, since she can pick up info. "That'd be cool. I'll check with the instructors tonight and see what they say." He smiled brightly to her before nodding. Heading to the garage, he got in the BMW. "Fuck. She's difficult to predict. Didn't think she'd be for going there when I told her they were out of control." Starting the car, he put it in gear and headed out the gates, tires squeeling on the pavement. <God I love this car.> Before he left the mansion grounds, he blared the horn.
