Chapter 123

Nicol

“What about your lawyer?”  “He is accusing you of being an alcoholic and I don’t like it.”  “But Nicolas you know the truth why do you let him upset you so much?”  “Because he was against me paying you so much money and paying you an allowance now, he keeps on telling me what a mistake it was and when things like this gets on the internet, he just emphasizes the fact that he was right.”  “You know what Nicolas if the money is such a big deal take it back, I haven’t touch it yet, if you can get him off your back with me giving back the money take it, I never wanted it in any case.”  “No Nicol I’m not going to take your money back, that is your money.”  “Then why get upset with your lawyer?”  “I hate the fact that the people I work with can so easily believe the shit in the media just because they don’t know you.”  “Well, what can we do, have a dinner at the apartment let everyone come and have a meet and greet?” I said laughing because really do we really want to do that.  “I don’t fucking know.”  He said pushing his hands in his hair again.  “Nicolas what is really upsetting you? It can’t only be the lawyer?”  He was just scratching his head I knew it was his way of working through his stress.  “I’m worried about this happening again and it will.”  “What me getting drunk and walking out with JP?  I can promise you that will never ever happen again.”  “No, I know you won’t let that happen again, but with me putting you guys in the public eye they will take anything we do together or separated and twist it, and with all the slack Nikki is getting at school it worries me.”  “You sort out her main bully, didn’t you?”  “Yes, but there is still Zoe.”  “I know but I’m sure Nikki is so use to Zoe, she doesn’t even hear her anymore.”  “We will have to speak to Nikki about what will most certainly be in the papers tomorrow.”  “Yes, Nicolas we will speak to her at least she knows JP.”  “Yes, but the rest of the article the fact that I might have cheated on you and that is why you went looking for someone else.”  “Nicolas, we know that is not true I’m sorry they are making this whole thing about you I promise I won’t let anything like this ever happen again, I know they are talking a lot of crap so please don’t worry about it.”  “Since I have you and Nikki in my life I do worry about it Nicol.  I didn’t worry about my image before you guys but now I would like to be seen as a family man. My PR team suggested we go out for dinner at a place I know the paparazzi will be and we should look in love then it would help.”  “Aren’t you PR team going to fight this?”  “No, they said if we protest to much it won’t be good for our image they will think we are hiding something.”  “It makes sense, so when are we going out?”  “You up for it tonight?”  “Off course I am.”  “Do you have an evening gown?”  “No” “Well then, I suggest you get one, maybe order it over the internet.”  “Okay let me go and check that out.” I was on my way to the door when I stopped “Nicolas.”  “Yes sweetheart.”  “We need to talk to Nikki before we go on our date.”  “I know sweetheart.”

I went to my old room to get my laptop I wanted to look for a dress I saw Jessica Alba worn a Carolina Herrera dress, if Nicolas wanted me to have an evening gown, I was going to go all out and get me the dress.  I went on the website and there was a dress that looked almost the same also black it just didn’t have a trail but it also had the slit that almost came to the my panty line and the lace that made the slit look pretty.  I immediately bought the dress and asked for immediate delivery.  I looked at myself in the mirror and decided I needed my hair blown out as well I called the hairdresser Nikki and I went to on Friday and asked them if they could fit me in for an emergency.  The guy that did my hair the previous time said he could help me if I come now, so I went to Nicolas room, got my boots and jacket and went looking for Nicolas.  He was still busy in on his phone when I walked in, when he noticed me, he said “Where are you going?”  “I’m going to the hairdresser.”  “Oh, you going all out, are you?”  “I am if they want to take pictures of us, I’m going to look my best, this morning I wasn’t at my best but tonight I will be.”  “Let Geoffrey take you.”  “I will.”  I went to Nicolas and kissed him “I’ll see you later.”  “See you later, I’ll go and get Nikki.”  “Thanks Nicolas.”

Geoffrey dropped me off at the hairdresser and drove back to Nicolas to go and fetch Nikki.  I really hope Nicolas wait for me before he talks to her.  When I walked in the hairdresser came to me “Nicol, how can I help you today?”  “Can you blow-dry my hair again, straight all the curls out.”  “Anytime, something special planned for tonight?”  I’m very sure he already saw the article in the paper I was also sure he was gay maybe I should ask him if he has a boyfriend, maybe I can set him up with JP or maybe I should mind my own business.  “Yes, Nicolas and I are going out on a date.”  “I don’t want to prey but weren’t you on social media with another man earlier today?”  “Oh, you saw that?”  “I did.”  “That is my friend JP my very gay friend JP, we had brunch and I had a few to many Mimosas that is why I clung to him like that he was keeping me up.”  “Oh, that makes sense, his very cute.”  “I was playing dumb “Who Nicolas?”  “No, your friend JP.”  “He is I just wish his boyfriend saw it too, but he left him in Thailand for a man that side.”  “Oh my God that is so sad.”  “Yes, JP and his ex was supposed to be there for 6 months but JP was only there for just over 3 months.” “So, his on the rebound?”  “I wouldn’t say that but he is definitely on the market.”
