Nick realized that Holden wasn't really flirting with Mo this was his way of getting to know someone. When Nick first met Holden in college Nick was convinced that Holden was trying to steal Nick's girlfriend at that time Jennifer. He wasn't but if Nick knew than what knows now he would've told Holden, "She's all yours! I don't need this crap!" All that being said Nick had just met Mo and she didn't know thing one about him Nick knew he needed to back down a couple notches and to get to know her to before he tried anything. There was no denying though (to anyone with a pulse and 3 active brain cells within the area code) Mo had gotten Nick's attention at the very least. 

Nick didn't just drink his chai-latte he inhaled it. After the first couple drinks he looked at Mo and said, [B]"I gotta admit this is the best chai-Latte I've ever had. it's perfection in a cup."[/B] He raised it slightly and said, [B]"You have a gift."[/B] Nick overheard Holden's questioning of Mo and began filing away the information. Then came the moment of "Mo's payment" and when she grabbed his arm luckily Nick had just finished his latte or it would've been all over the place. The touch was completely unexpected but Nick didn't mind it, and like an idiot he found himself smiling. Nick replied, [B]"I wouldn't exactly be a super-hero if I didn't help out whenever possible." [/B]

Holden had a habit of busting Nick's chops about his Batman/Sci-fi, borderline, obsession, but it never got personal and when Holden had crossed the line he usually apologized about it within a couple of hours. Only one person on the planet fully understood the deeper meaning behind Nick's devotion to the comic-books and all things sci-fi Holden made his crack about "Batman" and Nick said, [B]"Hey I've had this shirt since our sophomore year in college and it's my favorite one and still fits me."[/B] Nick shrugged his shoulders and said, [B]"Well technically it still fits me. I'm determined to buried in it."[/B]

Nick took another look at Mo and said, [B]"Seriously thanks for the coffee it really was awesome, and I'll be sure to stop by your coffee shop. Maybe someday I'll take you by where I work. WXQR 95.5 I start the midday shift in two weeks."[/B]

Holden then asked for help with the luggage and Nick said, [B]"Right away Prince Charming."[/B] With that Nick grabbed another piece of Mo's luggage and said (as the bag was slightly heavier than he expected), [B]"What's in here a weight set?"[/B] He shook his head slightly and said, [B]"Still totally worth the chai-latte."[/B] Nick made his way up the stairs and said, [B]"Oh by the way which room is yours?"[/B]
