Chapter 112

Nicolas

I could feel the tears form in my eyes as Nikki read the card, I held onto it for all these years, when Nicol first left me, I read that card over and over again hoping she would come back, I clung to that card with hope. When Nikki said, so you are really my dad and she looked at me with those big blue eyes, eyes that looks just like mine I saw our opportunity to get to the bottom of this Kevin accusations. I pulled her towards me and hugged her “Off course I am sweet pea, why would you even doubt it? We wouldn’t lie to you about something this big.” She pushed away from me “Yes but mom lied when she told me you where dead.” Nicol wanted to say something but I held up my hand, she needs to hear it from me because Nicol lied to me to. “Nikki yes your mom lied but she lied to protect both of us.” “But she still lied.” Nicol sat closer to Nikki and pulled her towards her, “Angel I’m really sorry, I thought I was doing the right thing, I promise you Nicolas is your dad. I just lied to you about your dad nothing else I promise you.” “It’s a big lie don’t you think?” “Yes, angel I know it is and I will never forgive myself for keeping it from you and Nicolas but at the end it worked out, didn’t it?” “I most definitely think it did.” I told Nicol I knew how hard this was for her. “I got my two girls in my life and I would never want any other women in my life except if our next baby is a girl.” Nicol smiled at that but Nikki didn’t. “What’s going on sweet pea what is bothering you, I mean I understand you still a bit upset about your mom lying but we went through this before, what happened?” She was quiet for a while. “You said you just want mom and me as your girls and the baby if it’s a girl but what about that woman at the restaurant that said she was your girlfriend?” Clearly this Kevin kid got under her skin, fuck I truly hope she doesn’t have a crush on him because I will squash him. “That was just someone your dad went out with.” Nicol tried but Nikki looked at me. “You want the truth sweet pea?” “Yes, please I think I’m old enough.” “Okay if I tell you the truth will you tell us where all this is coming from?” “Okay.” That was easy I thought but now for the tail of her whore of a dad.

“When your mom left me, I lost it, I was so in love with her I thought we were going to get married and spend the rest of our lives together then one day she was just gone. For months all I did was go to class, drink and sleep. Then my friends jumped in and told me I can’t mope like this anymore. I pulled myself together and started to went out, girls were crazy about me because of the blond hair that looked like a surfer and my blue eyes, my six-pack helped as well.” She was still looking at me intensely waiting for the rest. “Well then, I started to date girls but I had a rule I only took them out once, I was afraid I was going to get hurt again so I didn’t want a girl more than one night, and this is how I lived my life from there on out. You will see me on social media with different girls at different events.” Luckily, I could get rid of most of the pictures but there were still a few left. “I’m not proud of what I did, but it was my way of dealing with life.” “So, you never had a girlfriend before?” She asked very seriously. “No Nikki never, Karen the girl from the restaurant I took out twice and she thought she will become my girlfriend because I’ve never done anything like that before.” Nikki looked at me deciding on her next question I could see her wheels turning. I didn’t expect the next question. “Did you sleep with them, all the girls you went out with.” “Nikki!” Nicol said loudly “That has nothing to do with you you still a child.” “Dad said he will be honest.” “It’s okay Nicol, I did tell her I’ll be honest. Yes, I did and I’m not proud of that, now that I have you in my life, I know how wrong that was of me. I would never want any man to treat you like I did the girls I’ve been with.” “Thank you for telling me the truth I appreciate it.” “Now it’s your turn Nikki, why all these questions?”

“Promise you won’t do anything if I tell you?” Thank God we already knew what was going on I could make that promise, it’s not like I can go and beat up an 11-year-old boy. “I promise.” Mom you to. “I promise angel.” Nicol was hurt I could see it and all I wanted to do is hold her and make her feel better but we needed to concentrate on the problem at hand. “There is this boy in my class Kevin he is new he only started last week. He told me that I’m not your child because you are a man … I can’t say the word it's ugly.” “Whore?” I asked “Yes that and that mom is one two.” “Oh angel, I’m sorry.” “I told him it’s not true but he kept on saying it and he did it every time my friends weren’t with me it was like he was stalking me to say all these mean things about the two of you.” “You want me to beat him up?” I asking smiling at her. “No, you said you won’t do anything.” “I was joking sweet pea.” “But you do know his lying right, I’m definitely your dad and your mom never even had a boyfriend in the past 11 years how does he make any sense?” “I know that, but it just hurt and it made me doubt everything.” “Nikki look at me.” Nicol said to her. Nikki turned at look at Nicol. “If anyone ever say anything like this to you, please come to me and your dad, we will tell you the truth, you don’t have to keep it to yourself you won’t hurt our feelings angel I promise.” “Thank you, mom, dad, now can we go through the rest of the photos?” “Yes, off course.” You could see clearly how Nikki’s mood has changed which made both Nicol and I very happy.
