Antsy, fidgity, jittery, wired...horny.
Pacing around his suite, Nic felt full of energy...raw energy just looking to get out.
It seemed like forever, since he had come to Liefde, and begun working for Kem. The work he was doing was tedious, but he didn't mind that too much. It gave him a reason to get up every night, and he guessed he was helping Kem. which was important. But he missed people...fun people. There were a few co-workers down in the archives, and he had met them all, but work seemed to be what they lived for, and that was so NOT who Nic was.
Sure...when he had an exciting role to portray, his hours were filled with studying lines, and rehearsing...then shooting. But that was not what he had been doing, and to Nic, that was also far from boring. And with Kem and Theo being so scarce, Nic didn't even have the delight in looking forward to talking to either of them. Had he been working more closely with Theo, he was fairly certain the days would have flown by that much more quickly. Then again, had he been working with Theo he probably would have spent all day distracted, and not accomplished half of what he had. So he hadn't gone out of his way to seek company with either.
Still, he needed to get out...he needed to hunt...he needed people around him who were having fun...he needed to get laid...and not necessarily in that order.
Kem and MARI had done what they could to keep him in blood, but Nic could only take so many 'fast food meals'. He needed something to really sink his teeth into...and soon. He did muddle through an idea of asking MARI if she could find him a...date...but discarded the notion without spending too much time on it. Besides, he had come to understand that MARI took his words pretty literally...and a date really wasn't what he wanted.
As he often did, his thoughts turned to Addison, and how the little guy was doing. He couldn't risk calling his little buddy...not with the threat of Ellis finding out. Nic was still concerned about Addison living with that woman, and what she was capable of doing to him. But knew he was in no position to do anything about it, except to avoid him, and not add to the cause for action by Ellis.
He sighed, and threw himself onto the couch, where he sprawled out. A flick of the remote control, and he listened as 'Entertainment Tonight' came on, while he picked up the Anita Blake book he had been reading. Maybe he could kill a couple hours this way, and then go work out in the gym. If nothing else, he was sure keeping in great shape these days.
