Like Flames in the Night

@ American
Jace smiled and kissed her softly. "Okay." he said and pulled her to his side as he navigated through the crowd and out to the exit. He looked down at her. "How about now?" he asked and smiled softly at her.

---

Nicole chuckled. "I may be drugged up Luke but it's not just the drugs that make me feel good." she said and kissed him gently then pulled back. "Still you're right. Night." she said and stopped at the doorway looking back at him. "You should come join me though. You don't know what you're missing." she said softly her eyes challenging and also warm. Nicole then left looking at her cloths and shoes and sighed not caring and going to the end of the hall and into his room. She looked around with the lights off and chuckled. It was obvious this was his sanctuary. She crawled into his bed under the covers and hugged a pillow. She stretched out and yawned then curled into the pillow again the cool sheets feeling nice against her warm and sensitive skin. Nicole knew Luke was a player but one night was not going to be the end of the world. Besides she had other things she wanted. Luke was just a good time for the night. Nicole fell asleep there blissfully. She hadn't realized how tired she had actually been.

Gabby nodded, "Okay." She said. Once they returned to his house she walked inside with him. She giggled as she stumbled through the door. She looked over seeing Luke in the kitchen smoking and clothes all over the floor. "Ugh Luke why?" She said, laughing. She knew he had slept with Nicole. She grabbed his beer off the table and chugged it down. She set the bottle on the table then turned and hugged Jace, "Mmmm..Baby you are so warm." She said, laughing as she pulled his body close to hers and leaned on him.

---

Luke sighed as he heard Jace and Gabby come in. He watched as the girl drank his beer, "Hey she seduced me." He said as he got up. He put his cigarette out. "I'm going to bed." He said. He walked back to his room and pulled on a pair of sweatpants and laid down in bed with Nicole. He looked at her, pushing the hair out of her face where it had fallen. Luke closed his eyes, falling asleep next to her.

Jace walked in to his apartment and groaned. He didn't want to deal with the woman those moths belonged to when Jace refused a further relationship. It wasn't until Gabby said something about them that he realized they were Nicole's. Jace frowned. "Fuck Luke. Don't fuck this up for me." he said angrily. Gabby pressed into him and he wrapped his arms around her and glared at Luke as he walked out. He looked down at Gabby and kissed her softly. "Promise me you won't leave because of Lucas and Nicole's problems." he said softly and cupped her cheek his thumbs trailing her skin. He picked her up and carried her off to his room. He set her down at smiled softly. "I would be even warmer skin to skin." he said and started to strip for bed.

---

Nicole rolled around and tangled herself in his arms her head on his chest. She was completely asleep and yet she found a way to cuddle with him. She pressed her cold nose into his neck and relaxed into him. She fell back into a deep sleep completely comfortable now.
In the morning Nicole woke feeling like she was in a fog. She groaned and went to sit up but was tangled in someone. She froze and frowned trying to remember the details from the night before. What had she done? Nicole carefully untangled herself and sat up looking for her cloths. She frowned and got up then slipped out of the room as quietly as she could. She did not want to be here when that smug ass woke. She pulled on er dress and grabbed her shoes. She looked around and grabbed her purse and then snuck out of the apartment realizing she would have to walk home and have Gabby get her car. Nicole groaned and walked down the road towards home.

Gabby smiled as he touched her cheeks, "I would never leave you." She said. She giggled as he carried her to the room. She nodded, "You are so right about that." She said as she stripped. She laid down and snuggled up to him. Gabby woke up the next morning and groaned at her hang over. She sat up and reached for the pipe that was next to Jace's bed. She took a hit from it, exhaling the smoke. She looked back at Jace and smiled as he slept.

---

Luke woke up the next morning and sighed when he realized the bed was empty. It was nice to have someone stay for a bit. Luke got up, walking out to the kitchen. He made himself something to eat and sat down at the table. He couldn't believe Nicole left like that. Most girls didn't do that.

@ American
Jace sighed and nodded and kissed her softly. They fell asleep entangled in each other and as always he slept better with Gabby.
In the morning he woke to the sun shinning and he looked up at Gabby. "Morning love." he said and ran his hand up her back soothingly. He leaned up and kissed her softly. "Mmm how you feeling?" he asked and grabbed his pipe taking a it to dull the hang over.

---

Nicole got home and showered then dressed for the day. She was glad she had today off because everything was to loud and to bright. Drugs really fucked you up. She groaned and laid back in her bed a cold rag on her face. Nicole thought about Lucas and she shook her head. What had she been thinking?

Gabby smiled as she kissed him, "Morning." She said. She shrugged, "I'm exhausted." She said, smiling as she laid back on the bed. "I have to work tonight." She said, pouting. She hated that she had to leave him.

---

Luke sighed as he got dressed then headed to work at the local mechanic shop. He hated that he couldn't get Nicole off his mind. She was too fancy for him though. He knew that he didn't have a chance with her.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Jace smiled and nodded. He had to work that night too. "Aww it's okay beautiful. I got work too." he said and kissed her. Jace smirked. "I have to keep all the drunks happy." he said. Being a bartender was hard when you were in a relationship because all the drunk girls hit on you.

---

Nicole ended up cleaning the house but refused to vacuum because that would only make her feel even worse. She hoped this was going to just go away. She had to work tomorrow morning early and she needed to focus and not be distracted by a drug hangover.

Gabby nodded, "Well we need money." She said, laughing. "Are you going to come over tonight?" She asked. She hated to spend nights away from him. Sometimes they did but she never wanted to.

---

Lucas finished up at work that day and headed to a local coffee shop. He really need some caffeine after the day he had. He kept thinking of Nicole and hoped she thought of him.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Jace chuckled. "That we do." he said and kissed her. He sighed and stretched. "Eggs?" he asked her knowing they would help. "Tonight? I get off more around 3 am dear you know that." he said and chuckled. "But if you want me to creep into your bed afterwards I am fine with that." he said and slowly got up.

---

Nicole sighed and she looked around. She needed to do something. She got dressed in her running cloths and ran out the door. Overtime her feet hit the pavement it sent sharp pains through her head and she refused to give up so it only made her run faster and harder. Nicole ended up outside a coffee shop and she couldn't go any further. She pressed her back into the stone wall and panted trying to get her breath back for the run back. Nicole ran a hand through her damp hair and shook her head. At least she had finally gotten her mind of Lucas at least until now. Damn what was it about that boy that was making her think about him again and again. Perhaps it surprised her that he really had joined her in bed and hadn't kicked her out.

Gabby got up and started to get dressed, "Well of course i want you to." She said, laughing. She looked at him nodding, "Eggs sound great." She said as she ran her fingers through her hair.

---

Lucas walked out of the coffee shop, drinking his coffee and headed down the street. He really need to get his car running again. Lucas sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Jace smirked and kissed her. He chuckled. "Some times I wonder if what you really are addicted to is me." he smirked and then walked out of the room and went to make some eggs.

---

Nicole finally caught her breath and looked around seeing him. "Lucas?" she said and blushed. If it wasn't him she would feel stupid but if it was then she would feel very sloppy. She didn't want to be seen in her work out cloths like this. Heaven forbid that he see her any worse than he did last night. She shook her head. Most of last night was more of a blur but she remembered coming pretty vividly, and twice really. Either he was that good or the drugs were that good. She couldn't decide. She had nothing to compare it too.

Gabby smiled and got up, getting dressed. She walked after him and sat on the counter as she watched him make breakfast. "How did you sleep baby?" She asked as she played with a few strands of her hair.

---

Lucas turned around, seeing Nicole, "Hey." He said. He smirked, "What you up to?" He asked as he took a sip of his coffee. He couldn't wait to get some sleep tonight. He was glad to see her though.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Jace looked over at her and smiled. "Perfect as usual with you here." he said and kissed her then plated her food and his sitting down to eat. He smirked looking at her. "So I guess Nicole left pretty early this morning. I don't think she even noticed me coming out of the bathroom naked." he said and blushed chuckling.

---

Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?" she chuckled and pressed a hand to her stomach and pressed her running shirt down and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "I went for a run. I was just on my way back to my apartment actually." she said and smirked straightening and walking over to him and looking him over her eyes nearly drinking him in. She smirked and shook her head. "You just got off work, grease monkey?" she teased with a smirk and then stepped around him to a bench and stretched out her hamstrings and calfs. She looked over at him watching as his eyes looked over her. She knew he liked what he saw. Shoot that was why he had slept with her after all. She couldn't really deny he was fine looking either though.

Gabby laughed softly, "wow now im gonna hear about that." She said smiling. She did enjoy gossiping with Nicole. She couldnt wait to hear about the night before.

---

Lucas looked at her, "Yea early day." He said with a shrug. He watched as she stretched, "You left awfully early this morning." He said laughing softly.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Jace chuckled. "I honestly don't think she saw me. She looked like she couldn't get out fast enough and she looked like she was confused. Oh and full disclosure she was till pulling on her dress. She had her undergarments no though." he said hoping Gabby wouldn't care. After all he did have her naked in his bed to return to and that was so much better than anything Nicole could offer him anyways.

---

Nicole chuckled. "I told you I would be the night before." she said and then stretched out her sides and then shrugged. "That wasn't a problem was it Lucas?" she asked and raised a perfect eyebrow again with an almost smug looking smirk. Nicole moved back over to him. "Besides it was all good fun." she said and leaned in kissing his cheek her hand on his chest. "I should go before I start cramping up." she said and stepped back with a smile. She gave him a wink and then turned around. It felt so damn good that he didn't act like he hadn't known her or remembered what they did the other night. "Tell Gabby I'll see her tonight for a moment to drop off her keys she forgot." she said and then waved and ran off. She smirked feeling her second wind hit as she let her legs stretch out and she covered ground quickly.

Gabby nodded, "im sure she just wanted to go home." She said. She got up after finishing her breakfast, "Im gonna go shower." She said. She walked out of the kitchen and got a shower. Gabby got dressed for work then headed to the living room. " I just wanna get this over with." She said laughing

---

Lucas smirked, "Guess i will see you later then." He teased. He watched as she left then headed back to his place. He walked in seeing Gabby and Jace, "sup?" He asked as he threw his keys om the counter.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Jace smiled as Gabby came out. "Alright hun. You need a ride?" he asked and looked up as Lucas came in. He smirked. "Hey cuz. You're pretty chipper." he said and looked at the keys then back at Luke. "I got work, what's up with you?" he asked and ran his hand up Gabby's back absentmindedly.

---

Nicole got home and showered. she dressed up and then sat on the couch and did a little work from home because really there was nothing else to do until Gabby called her on her lunch break for them to go get some dinner.

Gabby nodded, "Yes please." She said. She looked at Lucas and smiled when he walked in. She kind of hoped that Nicole and him would get together. She didn't think that would happen though.

---

Lucas looked at him, "Probably just gonna relax after i take a shower. Gabs Nicole is gonna stop by and give you your keys." He said. He got a bottle of water and began to chug it down.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Spence nodded. "Let me get ready real quick." he said and kissed her cheek. He looked at Lucas and sighed. "Well try not to mope all night." he said and then headed into his room and showered then dressed for work. He came out and grabbed his keys. "Alright sweets let's go." he said and put his arm around her. "See ya Luke."

---

Nicole thought about the conversation she had with Lucas earlier. Perhaps he kept popping up because he didn't do what she expected of him. He kept doing things she didn't expect and she wondered if he realized it.

Gabby walked with her to his car and got in. She relaxed as the drove to her job. "Thanks for the ride." She said as she opened the door. She kissed him and got out. "See you tonight." She said.

---

Lucas took a shower and got dressed before he walked out to the living room and sat down. He found something on tv and began to roll a blunt. He bit his bottom lip lightly as he focused.
