Today Nina wakes up early.... IT'S HALLOWEEN!!!! Tonight it's PARTY time....she is so looking forward to it.
All Nina’s friends will be there, INCLUDING Niko, the hopefully one day love of her life..... Deep down she just knows it will be perfect!


Then Nina’s cell phone starts to bleep
"Hi, yes.... I know.... OK.... see you tonight!" (Hmmm...wonder who that was?)
OK, Nina thinks… so if I can't do anything around here I might as well go out and get some breakfast; OH, and I might do a little shopping too?

As Nina reverses out of the drive, a black cat shoots out making her brake sharply! 'I hope that's a lucky black cat? Are black cats lucky or unlucky if they cross your path?'
The cat is soon forgotten as the day continues. At Nina’s favorite café, the waitress ALMOST drops a glass of milk all over her, but she moves just in time!
Then, as she is walking down the road… BANG a fender bender not 2 feet away!

Looking in a jewelers window, Nina sees the most exquisite bracelet, perfect for tonight. As she enters the shop, she is almost knocked to the ground. Turning, Nina sees the guy jump onto the back of a waiting motorbike, and roar off. She turns back to the store and sees a sales person holding his head.

An hour later having told the police all she can, about what she’s witnessed, Nina leaves makes her way back to there car. She’s had enough excitement for one morning!
Back home things are just as chaotic! 
The party planer is tearing her hair out
The gas cylinder has run out of air half way through blowing up the balloons
The Lafitte Rothschild - 1995 at £725 ($1889) a bottle has gone missing?????
The chef has food poisoning. Nina thinks this might be a good time to leave the chaos to the party planner, as there's nothing she can do, and just hope the party planner can sort things out in time!

Nina runs the shower but discovers .... no hot water!
About to burst into tears the phone rings.... It's NIKO!!

Instantly sensing Nina’s distress he offers to come round. Nina tells him what's happened and Niko then suggests Nina comes to his home to get ready!!!! Nina jumps at the chance.
Soon Nina arrives at Nikos home. BANG her foot slips and instead of hitting the brake she hits the gas, trashing Niko’s trash can and narrowly missing his vintage Jaguar!

"I'm so sorry! So very, very sorry!" Nina is devastated at what she has just done!"
But Niko just laughs and hugs her, kissing her gently on the lips

As they walk up the path a black cat shoots out and crosses their path. "Oh, what is it with black cats today?" Nina sighs.
"Sorry, what did you say?” Niko asks looking deep intoNina’s eyes.
"Nothing.... absolutely nothing!"

So was the Black Cat good luck..... or bad?
