Nikki was a little surprised by the kiss but responded in kind. When it was over she blushed to her toes and had to lean on him for balance for a minute. Not surprisingly, she realized that people were watching because the talking had stopped. The others started talking again and pretended like everything was normal. Nikki went to the truck and grabbed her bag out of the back and put it in the car. She didn't make eye contact with Lisa who was obviously wanting to say something. Tex looked angry, [color=00aeef]"Nikki come here."[/color] She did and he grabbed her hand and pulled her about twenty feet further away.

[color=00aeef]"Are you out of your mind? You don't know that guy! He could be a rapist, murderer or here to rob us blind!"[/color] Tex ran his hand through his hair agitatedly. He slipped into his native portuguese and she shook her head. 

[color=00aeef]"You know I don't understand you like that. And don't you say it I know what you are thinking."[/color]

Tex said it, [color=00aeef]"He's older than I am and your mother disapproved of ME!"
[/color]

Nikki glared at him and said. [color=00aeef]"I don't care how old he is. I don't care what you think about it. If you are so worried then keep an eye on me. If he does something that puts me in danger talk to me about it but until that happens BUTT OUT!"[/color] She shouted. Nikki turned and went back to the car. She smiled at Chris as she climbed in. Only then did she dare look at Ethan. She held his gaze and said nothing. 

She leaned over to Chris and said, [color=f49ac2]"We might want to cool it on the PDA. I think "us" as a couple will go over better if we do ok?"[/color]
