Gia: {She walks over to the desk} Nikolas, this isn't home. This is a place I pay rent.
Nikolas: {Follows her} Then why haven't I seen a dime?
Gia: {Turns to him} Look, you'll get it eventually, ok?
Nikolas: {Wipes her tears} Hey. This place could mean more to you than just a bed and board.
Gia: I've been staying here while I figure out my life.
Nikolas: Then -- then where is home? Huh? A dorm room at Columbia? Your mother's use in Brooklyn?
Gia: No. Definitely no.
Nikolas: I mean {She walks away from him and he once again follows her}-- Gia, this is -- this -- this is the place you chose to be. You wanted to stay in Port Charles. You saw this cottage and you loved it and decided to move in.
Gia: Well, who wouldn't? I mean, it's comfortable, it's private, the plumbing and heating work.
Nikolas: {Smiles} And you're happy here.
Gia: Look, things change, ok? It's time to move on. {She goes over the couch and begins to fold a few shirts}
Nikolas: {Walks over to the couch} Why -- why is that? I don't --
Gia: Because, Nikolas, I want to get out of here.
Nikolas: You want to get out of here and, what, you want to go back to Brooklyn? What's waiting for you there that's better than what you have here?
Nikolas: {Takes the shirt from her} Brooklyn is your mother's home. And you've been fighting against what she wants for you ever since I've known you.What's happened to being your own person?
Gia: My own person just got rejected as the face of deception.
Nikolas: But you're not a quitter.
Gia: No, I'm a realist.
Nikolas: You have a real life.
Gia: Nikolas, look, I appreciate you trying to make me feel better --
Nikolas: Listen to me. Listen to me. {He walks closer to her} I'm just saying that we have made a connection and I have seen what a decent person you are underneath all that -- that attitude, the posturing. Ok? You're safe with me. Now, true friendships -- they don't come along every day, all right? So are you so sure that you want to leave ours behind?
Gia: We can still stay in touch even if I leave.
Nikolas: Leave or give up?
Gia: Look, I'm not going to stick around and beg for a second chance. It's not my style. I'd just rather move on.
Nikolas: My mother made the wrong choice. Now, there's no reason at all that you can't be a model. Ok, you've decided what you want to do, so why not go for it?
Gia: {Turns around and walks over towards the fireplace} What if I'm totally deluding myself?
Nikolas: How?
Gia: Well, maybe the pictures didn't come out as good as I thought. I mean, what am I comparing them to? Fuzzy snapshots my mother's taken of me over the years? Of course I thought they looked great.
Nikolas: {Walks toward her} Because they were great. Come on, you come alive when that camera's on you. You're free and you're natural. You're full of energy and style. You blew me away.
Gia: {Smiles} Really?
Nikolas: Yeah, really. {Moves closer to her} Those -- those pictures just -- you know, they really show how beautiful you are. Not just your face but your heart, too. Now, listen to me. You show to the camera. So why keep that a secret, huh? {Nikolas kisses her}
Nikolas and Gia are laying on the floor after making love
Gia: Why don't you just admit it. You want me to stay because you think I'm good in bed.
Nikolas: We haven't even been in a bed.
Gia: True. Every place but.
Nikolas: {He chuckles} No, I -- {Kisses her forehead} I'd miss you if you weren't here. That's why I want you to stay.
Gia: Well, I'd miss you, too.
Nikolas: You would?
Gia: And I'd miss this great place. I mean, where else am I going to find a landlord who'd let me slide on the rent?
Nikolas: No place.
Gia: Plus you made a good point about me giving up. I mean, I've set out to make a life for myself and I can't quit now.
Nikolas: That's right.
Gia: Besides, I don't have a ton of friends in New York. I mean, one good friend in this cottage is worth two in the city -- or something like that.
Nikolas: Absolutely.
Gia: Ok. You've talked me into it. I'll stay. {She smiles}
Nikolas: Yeah? Ok, well, in that case, then --{Shyly looks over at her} will you stay the night with me?
Gia: What, all night in your bed? {He stands up and Gia looks up at him}
Nikolas: Well, that's only if you want to.
Gia: I might consider it.
Nikolas: Well, is that a yes?
Gia: {She stands up} Well, as long as you don't expect me to make it a habit.
Nikolas: I don't think anything {Scoops her up into his arms} about us could become a habit.
Gia: Oh, us? Now we're an us?
Nikolas: Is that a problem for you? {They share a kiss as they make their way to the stairs}

Monica; I Keep It To Myself
I looked at you a thousand times
This time when I looked at you
There wuz sumthin' new
How could I be so blind
We shared our secrets in the dark
And though we were only friends
I don't know when the feeling changed within' my heart
Baby, oooh, I keep it to myself
Oooh, I'm fallin' in love with you
Oooh, the harder it gets
Cause you don't know the love I'm feelin'
Oooh, I keep it to myself baby
Oooh, I'm fallin' in love with you
Oooh, I don't wanna push you away
Cause no one makes me feel like you do
I dream of you all through the night
Holding you tenderly right here with me
Wrapped in my arms so tight
But when I start to tell you how I feel
You tell me 'bout someone new whose right for you
If you only knew my luv's for real
Baby, oooh, I keep it to myself
Oooh, I'm fallin' in love with you
Oooh, the harder it gets
Cause you don't know the love I'm feelin'

Oooh, I'm fallin' in love with you
Oooh, I don't wanna push you away
Cause no one makes me feel like you do
I'm wonderin' if you feel the same way I do

The deeper it gets
The harder I fall, fall

Steps; Stay With Me
When I close my eyes, and you're not there
I feel this emptiness inside - do you care?
If you have to go I'll understand
But the pain's so hard to take when we're apart
You'll never see me cry - it's locked away
But there's this feeling deep within me wants to stay
And if you were here would things be right
I need to find my way alone to win this fight
Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?
And there's just no point in looking back
And finding fault in everything we ever had
And the promises we made with tears
Will always be with me in times - when you're not here
Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?
If I hold you close no need to fight
I know that nothing I could say would make it right
If the chance has gone slipped away
Before you leave there's just one thing I've got to say
Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?
Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?
Collin Raye; If I Were You
You want to know
Where we go from here
So many roads
But none that seem clear
Is what we have enough
To last a whole life through?
Who knows?
Baby, who knows
So you're asking me
What do we do
Cuz time moves so fast
And the chances seem so few
Is it too much to think
That we could have it all
Who knows?
We may never know
But if I were you
I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall in love with me
So hold me close
I'll kiss away your fears
I won't promise the world
But I'll promise to be here
And what if together it gets better every day?
Who knows?
Baby who knows
But if I were you
I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall in love with me
But if I were you
I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall in love with me
If I were you
I'd fall in love with me
Christina Aguilera & Ricky Martin; Nobody Wants To Be Lonely
There you are
In a darkened room
And you're all alone
Looking out the window
Your heart is cold
And lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me
Come to me
Can't you see that
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waitin' for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why
Why don't you let me love you
Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It's a seranade
So your heart can find me
And suddenly you're
Flying down the stairs
Into my arms,baby
Before I start going crazy
Run to me
Run to me
'Cause I'm dyin'
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waitin' for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why
Why don't you let me love you
I wanna feel you need me
Just like the air you're breathin'
I need you here in my life
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away,no
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
