Nikki Shadwick - Infatuation With Jimmy

Infatuation With Jimmy

In the weeks after her sisters death Nikki became increasingly paranoid and unable to sleep at night. Feeling vulnerable on her own in the bungalow, she asked friend Jimmy if she could spend the night at his house. Feeling he owed her support after the support Nikki had given him during his breakdown Jimmy willingly allowed her to stay.

That night however Nikki left the spare room and asked Jimmy if she could sleep with him. Jimmy reluctantly agreed and the two slept in the same bed. The following morning Jimmy explained to Nikki that she was welcome to stay at his house as long as she liked but that it would cause him embarrassment if she were to sleep in his bed. Nikki however had become infatuated with Jimmy and now saw him as more than a father figure.

Nikki continued to stay at Jimmy's house, although she stayed in the spare room. Jimmy's daughter Lindsay became concerned that Nikki was taking advantage of Jimmy's fragile mental state while Tim became concerned that Jimmy was taking advantage of Nikki's recent bereavement.

Nikki told Jimmy how she felt about him and Jimmy explained it would be better if they remained friends. Undeterred, Nikki continued to pursue Jimmy, until the two finally kissed in Jimmy's back garden. The two later slept together. Nikki was thrilled to have slept with Jimmy and thought they could become an item, however the following morning Jimmy was racked with remorse, feeling that Tim may have been right and he may have taken advantage of Nikki while she was vulnerable. When Jimmy explained this to her Nikki took his rejection and decided to move on.
