"I thought that you didn't notice me." Nicolai placed his hand on the small of her back as he guided her towards his bike.
"How can I not notice you when you are literally burning a hole in the back of my head?" Ariana rolled her eyes.
"Are you sure it was your head?" Nicolai grinned at her, causing her to roll her eyes once again.
"I thought that you were going to at least offer an excuse but it seemed like you really thought through your lower body."
Nicolai placed his finger on her lips before saying to her, "Shhh, don't go around saying such things to Nico the Great; he will be really upset if he hears you say something so rude about him."
"Nico the Great?" Ariana closed her eyes in horror as she knew what the man was trying to say to her. "You actually named it?"
"Yup," he replied while popping the 'p.' Seeing the look of pure shock on her face, he chuckled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Everyone does that."
