Let Me Help You, Good Doctor Ch. 06

"I don't know; lunch?" she said sarcastically and Nik just shook his head.

"That's what you think. So, what are you doing on Saturday?"

"We are just supposed to go to this class and dance, nothing special."

"Oh really? So you two will be dancing with each other during the whole class." He said going to stand by the desk.

"Yea you know, just some stupid little dance class, no biggie." She shrugged but Nik knew her enough to see that she was down playing the situation.

She went over to the desk and was about to sit down when Nik backed her onto the desk. She nibbled down on her bottom lip as she stared into his intense green eyes. She knew that look, that's the predator look. The look that she was trying to avoid and that's why she have been avoiding him. Now she didn't want to avoid him, a part of her inside wanted to be devoured by him.

"So, will it be like when you danced with me?" he whispered, setting himself between her legs. She took a deep inhale at the heat that started in her nether region and course through her body, "I don't think so."

Nik leaned in closer to her ear as he felt her body press closer to him, "Why not?"

"Well mainly because he can't dance. "she smiled.

"And?"

"And, I guess there is something about dancing with you." She paused, "Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"As long as that's the truth, then yea." He smiled.

"Can I admit something to you?" she whispered back and he tilted his head, staring back at her, "I kind of missed you." She said lowering her head.

Something about that little statement made something in Nik swell up inside, but why didn't she want to look at him? He hooked her chin and pulled her face up till she was eye level with him.

"Now say that again, looking at me." He commanded.

She smiled and swallowed hard, "I missed you." She said and Nik's lips instantly attached to hers.

Dominique wrapped her arms around his neck as his tongue slowly moved against hers. He wanted to see how much she really missed him. He lighten his touch against her lips softly pecking and nibbling on them. Dominique sighed against his lips, wanting him to return that same pressure that he had earlier. She wanted more of that intense feeling of his lips, but he wouldn't return it. She groaned in frustration and pulled him a little closer pressing her lips harder against his. Nik smiled to himself as he felt her forcefully move her tongue into his mouth. Damn, he wanted to know what that tongue and lips could really do against his throbbing cock. Nik always felt like a bundle of raw sexuality around her. He always been a sexual person but being around her, made him crave her. She backed further onto the desk, making her skirt hike up a bit more.

Nik grabbed the back of her thighs and pulled her to him; his hand nearly burning from the heat of her body, "You want me to come over tonight?" he asked in between kisses and felt her nod, "Talk to me." He whispered.

"Yes, of course I do." She sighed pulling away from him briefly, "What time will you be over?"

"I have to pull a pretty late shift tonight, that's if you feel like waiting. I know you have a big day tomorrow with your dance class and everything."

"I think you are trying to make fun of what's happening tomorrow." She said trying to push him away.

"I'm just saying that you are getting very excited about dance class." He smiled but there was something in his eyes that Dominique was trying to pick up.

She grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him to her and laid a deep kiss on him, pushing her tongue into his mouth. For a moment Nik's knees buckled as she took full control of the kiss. He knew she had a lot of passion, but wow. They pulled away from each other and Nik opened his eyes to stare into her deep dark pools.

"Officer, can you make a stop to my house when you get done? I think I need your assistance." She smiled and Nik couldn't help but to laugh.

His little doctor was certainly coming out of her shell, "Will do, ma'am, I'm here to protect and serve."

The next day, Dominique was all ready for her day with Jason. Even though she enjoyed her time with Nik the other night, today with Jason was going to be fun. It was funny though, a part of her didn't want to get out of bed with Nik. Just having him there, holding her was so comforting and felt somewhat normal. Oh well, no use harboring on that. She decided she was going to go all out and wear her hair down. Nik couldn't keep his hands off it; he kept telling her how much he loved to see her hair down. She never really thought of her curly hair as that great, but she was starting to like it down and being out of the pinstripe suits around Nik. It was refreshing being at ease with him.

"So, are you ready to cut a rug with lawyer boy?" Nik asked buttoning up his shirt.

"You know if I didn't know any better I would think you were a little jealous Nik." She teased slipping her ankle length skirt.

"Jealous? Me? Come on sweetheart, how can I be that I'm jealous of lawyer boy," he walked over to her and lifted her up. Her legs instantly wrapped around his waist, "when it was my name you were screaming last night?" he said with a brief kiss and Dominique couldn't help but smile.

"And you are getting cocky too, but I guess you were always that so." She shrugged and he placed her on her feet while she laughed.

"I'm not cocky, just sure of myself sweetheart. So, what else do you and lawyer boy have planned? Where is the dance class at?"

"So far as I know that's it and he is taking me for lunch. The dance class is at Mrs. June's school of dance. I use to go there sometimes when I was younger."

"Really? I would picture you as a dancer too."

"Yea, well, my aunt could only afford so many classes and when Mrs. June heard of our situation, she agreed to teach me for half price. My aunt didn't want to ask my mom for that money."

"Well that was nice of her. I don't know me and the guys may stop by there to whisk the day away with you two."

"Nik, come on now. Don't be silly."

"I'm serious; James needs to learn how to dance sooner or later." He smiled and she just shook her head, "I'm only kidding with you, baby. Enjoy the dance."

"Thank you."

"Oh and have you called my mom?"

"Yea, she must have asked you about me?"

"She did. She was wondering if you were alright and everything was good here."

"You know, you should take me back there soon. I wouldn't mind visiting your family again." She said smiling.

Nik stopped in his steps, "Are you sure? You want to see them again with me?"

"Of course Nik. I told you, I love your family." Nik cleared his throat and looked off, "Right, I have to go back home and hang with the fellows."

"Alright then, see you later." She said walking him to the door, "Thanks again Nik." She said leaning her head against the door.

"Hey, any time baby." He said kissing her briefly and left.

Dominique leaned her head against the door with a smile. She could still feel the touch of his lips on hers and she traced her fingers over them. She quickly shook her head, what was going on? She was getting way too wrapped up in Nik. She knew it before, but now it's really getting out of hand. She cleared her throat, grabbed her purse, headed out the door. Nothing is going on between her and Nik, it's just really good sex. She needed to hurry up and make Jason fall for her so that this thing between her and Nik could be done.

Jason met her downstairs with a smile as she went over to his car, "Look at you. How are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm good and you?"

"Oh, are you wearing a shirt that shows your stomach." He said.

"It's just showing it a little. It's a comfortable shirt." She smiled.

"I don't know, I'm use to seeing you a bit conservative." Dominique's brow wrinkled.

"You don't like my clothes?"

"Well, I'm just use to seeing you being professional."

"Well, I'm off today, so, this is what I wear." She smiled feeling a little uneasy about this conversation with Jason, "Come on now Jason, I wasn't always in pinstripe skirts since I was a kid."

"No, I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, it's..." he stammered, "How about we just go?"

Dominique nodded as they both went to the car. They made it all the way to the school without saying one word to each other. That was so unlike them; Dominique and Jason never had an odd tense moment. Dominique walked ahead of Jason not pausing to wait on him.

"Dominique." She heard him say and she turned around with a sigh, "I'm sorry if I said something to make you upset. I really didn't mean to."

"Right Jason." She said shaking her head.

"I'm serious Dominique. I'm sorry, can we start dancing on a good note. Besides, it's better for you to be mad at me after I step all over your feet." He smiled and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go." She sighed pulling him to the class room.

"So, have you asked her yet?" Scott asked grabbing an apple.

"No, I haven't. I will when the time is right." James said looking through some files.

"I think someone has a dash of cold feet." Nik said sitting back in his seat.

"I am not. I am just waiting on the right time like I said. Why are you two rushing me?" James said sitting the file down.

"No one is rushing you. It must be pretty hard to think about going through this again." Nik said putting his feet up on James' desk.

"Well actually," James came around and knocked Nik's feet off, "it's not that hard, especially if you are really sure about the person you want to be with."

"Wow that sounded like you were really serious there."

"I'm always serious when it comes to my future wife. Now what about you father to be?"

"Hey I am patiently waiting by my phone for that call. She is with her mom, doing mother/daughter stuff. I am worn out."

"Late night cravings?" James smiled.

"Just wait till your time comes. I would love to see how you handle Jade wanting egg rolls with pickles and peanut butter at two in the morning." Nik and James made a disgusted face and started laughing.

"It will be a long time before we see little ones running around from me." James said, "So, what girl has been on Nik's hit list?" Nik shrugged.

"I haven't really had time for that lately." Nik shrugged.

"Oh that's right, you've been around Dominique, seems like you have a great time pretending." Scott said.

"We are just friends." Nik reiterated.

"Whatever, we see that glow that she has going on. Katrina is already planning couple dinner parties as soon as she has the baby."

"There is no couple though. We are just hanging out and enjoying each other's company." Nik reminded.

"I'm so sure. You don't have to admit anything to us; we see the look on your face." James said.

"And that look would be?" Nik sighed.

"The look of when you really like a girl. We already know it's true. You took the girl to see your parents for a weekend."

"My mom wanted to meet her so I can assure her that we are just friends."

"Yea, and taking her to meet your mother is a really good way to prove that." Scott smiled.

"There is nothing going on between us, just two people having fun together."

"And occasionally enjoying a lot of extra in between." James replied and Nik just sucked on his teeth.

"Yea man, you can fool your parents, only mildly but you can't fool us. You don't give girls as much time as you have given Dominique. I swear it will be okay if you do like her. You're not going to turn into stone."

Nik shook his head, "Alright, I do like her a little. She's nice to have around and she is really sweet. She's stuck on lawyer boy though, which I still do not understand."

"Really?"

"I mean, she is basically ruling this decision on him being the one based on the wrong thing."

"Well, what is she basing it on?"

"On the fact that they know each other longer and that it fits as she says. I think a majority of it is a race thing."

"Why you say that?"

"I just have a feeling. I mean, you told me before Scott that race has been some what of a sensitive issue with her, especially with everything concerning her mom and dad."

"I mean I did say that once before, but I would think after everything that you two have been through she would have looked past that." Scott said scratching the back of his head.

"Yea, well I don't think she has." He shrugged.

"You sound upset about that Nik." James said.

"I mean, I'm not saying that I'm the guy for her or that I care of anything," He stammered, "but don't base your decision over something as ridiculous as that. It's so pointless."

"Yea, when there are so many other things she can base that decision on." James said and they both started laughing.

Nik sucked at his teeth again staring at the cackling hyenas, "That's so funny, I'm dying inside." Nik said sarcastically.

"Oh don't be so sensitive. I'm starting to wonder who you are now." James said pulling out some a cigarette.

"I'm still the Italian stallion." Nik smiled.

"That is almost tamed." James added, "Where is your girl at now?"

"She is not my girl and she is at some stupid dance class with lawyer boy."

"And you let her go?" Scott said.

"Key word Scott, we are only pretending to be together. I don't care what she does with him." Nik said clearing his throat and both men stared at him in disbelief, "What? It's only a stupid dance, nothing more or less." They still didn't say anything but just continued to stare at him, "Man, let's move on to something else. I'm tired of talking about me." Nik finally said and they started laughing.

"Oh you are tired of talking about yourself? Mark that on your calendar James." Scott said as he shook his head.

Nik looked down at his phone tuning the guys out a little when Ramon came in talking to James. He had to admit, a little part of him wondered what they were doing now. Was he dancing close to her, touching her lower back? Was he looking into her big brown eyes noticing how they seem to sparkle? There could be a lot of things that happen during a dance, he should know himself. He shook his head almost laughing to himself. He was bugging. Why was he tripping this much? She wasn't his to claim or was she? Well, even if she wasn't, he didn't want lawyer boy to have her either.

"Hey, how about we go to your future wife's restaurant for lunch?" Nik suggested.

"Are you hoping to catch Dominique there?" James smiled.

"I'm hungry, they have good food, and I can put pressure on you to ask that delectable Jade to marry you before I do."

"Well, then I don't have anything to worry about because she don't want you." James smiled closing his file, "Ramon, why don't you come too?"

"Well, we need to leave someone here to watch over the place boss." He said.

"I get someone to take care of that, I want you to relax a little bit, you said you were up most of the night working on beats." Ramon quickly shrugged, "You don't have to tell me twice." He said with his killer smile, "Just let me wash up."

"That was nice of you." Nik said, "Is something wrong with you?" he joked.

"Ha ha, I just hate to see the kid work so much and hard. You know after he gets done here, he goes home and tries to make music. I want him to go out and enjoy life a little."

"It does seem like he likes to keep himself busy, did you ever ask him about that?" Scott asked.

"I tried but he was just like, he likes to work. I know he is trying to save up for more music equipment, but I think it's something else."

"Well, until he tells you, there isn't much you can do." Scott said, "Let's go get some food."

After the dance class, Dominique and Jason went out to JK restaurant for some lunch. Despite the rocky start, everything went really well. They had a lot of fun and got some stuff accomplished. Jason has actually improved a lot, but what threw Dominique off the most was the way he held her. It was like he was too comfortable with having her in his arms and held her tight. It was nice but at the same time weird. It made her heart kind of skip a beat but it wasn't anything special about it. She shrugged it off and was just happy about the progress that they made.

"So, I didn't hurt your foot much, did I?" he asked.

"No, I told you, you were great. That was definitely major progress since we were kids and you use to step all over my foot." She said and he started laughing.

"That's one thing about you Dominique; you were always so patient with me about that. You were patient with me about a lot of things." He said staring at her.

"I had no choice; you pretty much protected me through school. Without you, I would have been ducking and dodging the whole time."

"Yea, sometimes kids can be cruel, but look how much you grew up. You have your own practice and you are coming out with a book pretty soon. You have your own apartment and everything and you are really smart."

"Why Jason, I do believe you are trying to make me blush. Thank you so much for all the compliments, even though I'm not so sure why I deserve all of them." She giggled, feeling his eyes never leaving her face as she fork through the last of the spinach dip.

"Well, there is a lot you have done to deserve them. I mean, you even have a pretty decent relationship with that Nik fellow. When I see him look at you, I almost see what he sees in you." Uh oh, she immediately thought as her eyes cut to his.

This was the moment that Dominique has been waiting on, the moment that she has dreamed about, so why didn't it feel okay?

"Yea and I see what Candy sees in you too. You two are so lucky to have each other. I know with her constantly traveling, it can be a little hard."

"Yea it is, makes me wonder if she has the capability to be stable and sit still. We talked about it last night and she was saying that she likes traveling and seeing the world and there are still places she wants to see and things she wants to do. I thought she was ready to settle in one place but it looks like she is not completely ready. You know I done my traveling and I don't want to go anywhere else. I just wish she could be a little more stable, like you." He said reaching out for her hand and rubbing the back of it with his thumb, "I never noticed that before."

"Noticed what?" she swallowed nervously feeling her body tremble at his touch.

"Your eyes kind of sparkle sometimes; it's weird I never saw that before."

"Yea, they do that sometimes. I'm going to make a quick phone call, I'll be back." Dominique quickly said rushing to the back till she ran into Katrina, "Is your office empty?"

"Yea, are you okay?" Katrina asked noticing the flush look on her face.

"I don't know yet, I'll be back." Dominique said walking past her.

She barged into the office and started pacing the floor. What to do? What to do? Was this really happening? Jason was actually coming on to her and she tried to feel happy. She tried to jump for joy, but nothing. What was going on? She turned immediately when the door swung open. She thought she was okay, but saw Jason standing on the other side.

"I just followed you in, to make sure you were okay." He said.

"I'm cool; just needed some breathing room."

"I made you feel uncomfortable." He said shoving his hands in his pockets.

"No, no. You know how high strung I normally am, that hasn't changed." He slowly walked closer to her and she was backed against the desk.

"That's too bad, because this is really going to make you high strung." He whispered just before she felt his lips crushing down on hers.

Dominique gasped against his mouth as she felt his tongue slowly coax hers. It wasn't deep or sensual like Nik's just average, but felt good. She allowed herself briefly to fall into the trance and her eyes fluttered open. She stared past him to the open door and gasped at the sight.
