"I'm equally as surprised as you are, you know; I just hide it better." He shrugged. If life had given him a break back then, he would've definitely maintained contact with Nikki. With the exception of . . . Helena — it hurt deep down at the merest thought of her; Blake visibly flinched — he'd consider Nikki to be his closest friend.

"Well, it's a good kind of change." He flashed her what could be construed as a shy smile. She looked great, to be honest. He couldn't help remembering all the times he had taken a sniff of her hair in Hogwarts. They used to smell like strawberries; Merlin knew how they smelt now. "You still like strawberries, Nikki? Or has your taste in fruits changed?" Watermelons were Blake's favourite. Perhaps he should drop that vital piece of information casually. Perhaps he would.

Drinking deep from his coffee cup, he raised as eyebrow at her question, slightly amused. "Pretty much the same, except that I have abs now." He winked at her, just messing with her. "What do you say, Nikki, I'm aging well, aren't I?" Smiling, he batted his eyelashes at her. How much of a conceited git was he? Sometimes he surprised himself, too.

Nikki looked up over the brim of her coffee cup as she took another gulp and raised her eyebrow. Was he somehow indirectly hinting that they had lost contact after school because of her? Yes she had been the one to end things between them and run off home as soon as the chance arrived, but it was only because things had gotten so complicated so fast! "What was I supposed to do Blake?" she challenged, "Things weren't exactly working out with us, now were they?" Oh Merlin. Why had she said that! She wasn't supposed to say that. She was supposed to be mature about this whole situation, not bring up things from the past! She closed her eyes and shook her head. "Sorry," she said, "I shouldn't have brought it up."

She blushed though when he complimented her hairstyle and laughed when he asked if she still liked strawberries. "Oh yeah, couldn't live without them." she responded taking a smaller bite of her sandwich. There were like four containers of them in her fridge. "What about you? Still like bugs? Or has your weird obsession with them disappeared." Nikki asked smirking. He had asked her that during one of their study dates hadn't he? Then again there never had been much talking during those study dates...or studying.

Nikki couldn't help but snort as Blake winked at her and asked if he had aged well. Of course he had! She wouldn't have been so awkward in the beginning of their conversation if he had turned ugly. "Yeah, you're gorgeous." she replied sarcastically. And if he had abs now she definitely ~~needed~~ wanted to see them. Where were they when they were dating?!
