Chapter 21
It's the little things
Nikolai's POV
"Daddy...Daddy... Daddy!!!!" I groan and turn around searching for the bubby girl who decided waking my up by shaking the bed was a good idea.
"What's wrong Princess?Are you ok?" I worriedly started inspecting her before I heard her giggle and wiggle her way into a hug.
"No daddy, I'm just really excited cause i get to make a new friend today!" I chuckle and pet her hair for a little bit almost drifting back to sleep when suddenly my phone starts ringing.
I reach for it and without looking at the caller I.D. i answer with a "Nikolai speaking, who is this?"
"Hey Nik! It's me Glen. We just landed and I wanted to give you a call in case you forgot to send someone for me."
"Wait you already landed? What time is it? I just woke up! You were supposed to get here at 1."
I quickly scramble off the bed and look towards Sav with wide open eyes.
"Yeah and according to my watch it's 1:05 pm right now." I confirm what he just said by looking down at my phone and seeing the time glaring back at me.
"Fuck I overslept. Don't worry I'll be there in 45 minutes."
I frantically ran around the room putting on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt before sitting down on the bed and putting the phone on speaker so I could put everything on and tie my shoes.
"Alright... Didn't you have that thing with your little? The fair right? Did she misbehave?"
"No actually she's the one that suggested moving it to tomorrow because she's excited to meet your little. She wants you guys to join us tomorrow." I look towards Savanna and smile when I see her brushing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Yeah that's perfect! Alright i'll see you soon then. Tell your little one Jace hasn't slept in days waiting to meet her."
When she hears that Sav turns around and gives me the biggest smile ever. I smile back at her and motion for her to come closer.
"I'm sure she'll love to hear that."
I hang up the call and pull Savanna in for a kiss.
"Come on princess we have to go to the airport."
"Yes daddy. I'm so excited!" She squeals and grabs a jacket on her way out. She hurriedly goes to the kitchen and when she comes back she's holding a sandwich in a napkin on one hand and a plastic cup on the other.
"Gloria helped me make a sandwich for you before I went to wake you up and this is just orange juice. You can eat it on the way to the airport."
I smile at how cute she is and I lean down to give her a quick kiss before starting to walk to the car while I take a huge bite out of the sandwich. Ham and cheese, my favorite.
"Thank you so much princess, it's wonderful." I get the car keys and we hurry into the car.
We start the long journey to the airport and Savanna and I laugh and sing along to songs the whole way there. Occasionally I would steal short glances towards Sav and smile before rubbing small circles on the back of her hand that was firmly grasped in mines.
Savanna's POV
"If you tell anyone that I know every word to 'My heart will go on' I will spank you"
I laugh at the empty threat and look at Nikolai with a huge smile on my face.
"Don't worry daddy your secret is safe with me."
He parks in an empty spot and looks towards me trying to look serious,
"It better be"
He finally breaks out into a smile and we both exit the car laughing. Pretty soon though I start to feel a little anxious again. I know his friend said that Jace, the little I'm going to meet, is also really excited to meet me but I can't help but worry.
Nik seems to sense my discomfort since he grabs my hand and starts rubbing comforting circles with his thumb.
"It's going to be fine princess. I'm sure you guys will get along perfectly."
"I hope so"
He gives me a reassuring smile and a little squeeze to my hand making me feel better. He takes out his phone and I assume he's going to let Glen know that we are here. I was proven correct when he started asking for their whereabouts.
Nikolai guides me the whole way never letting go of my hand so I won't get lost and soon enough we make it to who I assume are Glen and Jace by the way Nikolai approaches them. He hugs the tall and very muscular blonde guy who I think is Glen by the way he stands and the way they hug. The other guy seems more shy and he's standing a foot behind which is a clear submissive tell.
After saying hello to both men Nikolai turns to me smiling,
"Princess this is my friend Glen," He points to the blonde and I mentally cheer for guessing correctly even though it wasn't that hard.
"Pleasure to meet you Savanna..." he gives me a cheeky grin and extends his hand.
Shyly I reach for it giving him a timid smile, "you can just call me Sav if you want. Very nice to meet you Mr."
He chuckles and puts his arm around the other guy who is a bit shorter than his partner, Jace seems to also be shy and I smile waving at him. He has striking blue eyes and super pale skin. He was absolutely beautiful.
"This is my baby boy Jace," he looks towards the pretty boy and talks to him in a hushed tone "go say hi baby, you've been waiting to meet her for a while now"
Jace starts walking towards me with his head lowered, he extended his hand towards me,
"Hi! I'm Jace, it's really nice to finally meet you. You looks very pretty."
Instead of taking his outstretched hand I pull him in for a hug.
"Hi Jace, I'm Sav. I'm so happy you're here and thank you! You're absolutely precious yourself."
After our hug and my comment Jace's cheek have gone completely cherry red and I can't help but smile at how adorable that was. I look towards Nik and he's talking animatedly to Glen but he quickly looks towards me and asks me if there's something wrong.
"No. But can we please go daddy. It's really loud here and I wanna talk to jace"
I motion to Jace who also seems overwhelmed by the amount of people and noise here.Nikolai smile and nods grabbing my hand and telling Glen to follow.
Glen takes a hold of Jace's hand and starts walking towards the car after us. Once we get there Nikolai unlocks the car and gives me a knowing smile,
"You wanna sit in the back with Jace and talk?"
"Yes please." I shyly smile and wait until he nods and my smile grows as I quickly grab Jace's hand and pull him to the back of the car.
"So Jace, tell me everything about you! What's your favorite color? Favorite cartoon? Do you have stuffies? How old are you in your headspace?"
"Baby slow down and let Jace breathe will you?" I look at Nik who's looking back through the mirror and I pout.
"Sorry daddy"
"It's ok Mr. Nikolai sir, I don't mind" Jace shyly stands up for me and I giggle and his cuteness.
"Ok jace but feel free to stop her or tell me if she gets too much, she can be a little intense," He chuckles and I roll my eyes smiling. ", and you can just call me Nik"
"Ok thank you Nik." Jace looks at me and gives me one of his shy smiles. " and to answer your questions, my favorite color is lavender, my favorite show is fairly odd parents, i have a ton of stuffies but I only brought my favorite, its a bear, his name is bug, and i'm between 1-3 when in little space. Your turn"
"We'll my favorite color is green, I love disney everything! I also have a ton of stuffies, you can meet them when we get home, and I'm 2-5 when in little space."
We went the whole ride asking each other questions and joking around. Little by little Jace started to get more comfortable around me and soon we were getting along great. I couldn't wait until we got home and started doing stuff together. I was thinking we could color. I was very happy that Jace seemed to like me. I also really liked him, he was super fun!
When we got home I went over to Nik to ask for permission to go to my room with jace to play for a while before dinner and thankfully we agreed. Glen also gave Jace permission to play and with that we were off to my room.
