Chapter 124
Nicol
He went on with my hair saying nothing about JP anymore, I wanted to ask him if I should set up a coffee date with him but I was afraid I over step. When he was eventually done with my hair, he asked me “Would you give my number to him?” “I can do that.” He gave me his card there was even a picture of him on the card, I’m sure JP and he will get a long like a house on fire. He was so excited he even took me to the make up artist begging her to do my make up, “Come on it’s a special occasion and she will be in the papers tomorrow morning, think about it you will be doing a celebrity’s make up.” “I won’t call myself a celebrity but I would appreciate it if you do have time.” “Fine but if anyone ask you questions about your hair or make up you better promote us.” “I will most definitely. And I have an idea I will see this one more often.” I touched the hairdresser’s arm. “Oh, do tell.” She said. “No, she’s not going to say anything.” “Fine my lips are sealed.”
Nicolas
On our way to get Nikki from school I wondered how we will tell her what surely will be in the papers tomorrow. But hopefully tonight would rather be in the papers and not what happened this morning. We stopped in front of the school waiting for Nikki to come out, when I saw her Kevin was walking on the one side of her and Rika on the other. My gosh this boy is taking his job very serious. He walked her straight to the door and even open the door for her, when he saw me, he said “Good afternoon, Sir, as you can see, she is safe.” “Thank you, Kevin.” I pulled $100 dollars out of my pocket and gave it to him. “It’s not necessary Sir.” “No no you are doing me a huge favor.” “Thank you, sir.” He said as Nikki got in the SUV, when the doors close, she rolled her eyes. “You made it worse now.” Nikki said. “First of all, you normally start with ‘Hello dad’ and then you can complain about something.” “Sorry Hi dad.” “Now what is wrong?” “It’s Kevin, he doesn’t leave me alone for one second his with me the whole time, he even asks the teacher to go to the bathroom when I did.” I smiled but I put my hand in front of my face making sure she didn’t see. “His just making sure you are okay sweet pea.” “He really doesn’t need to go to the bathroom with me, I mean Rika is there for that.” “Yes, but did he bully you today? In fact, did anyone bully you today?” “No Zoe wanted to come close to me but Kevin send her away.” “Then I see it as a win.” “But dad.” “Let’s see how it goes before I relieve him from his duties okay?” “Okay.” Rika turned and looked at me smiling. So, she found it entertaining as well. It was quiet for a while before Nikki asked “Where is mom?” “We are going out tonight so she went to the hairdresser.” “Oh, on a Monday?” she asked surprised. “Yes, sweet pea on a Monday.” I had to smile again, because Nicol probable never went out on a school night.
When we got home Nicol wasn’t at home yet so Nikki went to get changed and we sat and ate some noodles Isabella made then we went to sit at the table doing some homework, we were almost finish when Nicol walked into the living room. “Hi angel. Nicolas.” “Hi mom.” Nikki said without even looking at her mom. “You look amazing Nicol.” “Thank you, Nicolas, did my dress arrive yet?” “Yes, it’s in our room.” “Did you peek?” “No, I did not I wanted it to be a surprise.” “Good.” She mouthed over Nikki’s head “Did you speak to her?” I just shook my head.

I was relieved that Nicolas didn’t speak to Nikki yet, I asked her “Are you almost finish with your homework angel?” “I’m done dad helped me.” “Good can we speak to you?” She looked at me for the first time. “Wow mom you look beautiful.” “Thank you, angel. Now can dad and I speak to you?” “Yes, did I do something wrong?” “No off course not angel, it’s something I did.” “Oh goodness you never do something wrong.” “Well JP and I went out this morning.” “Is JP back, why didn’t you tell me I wanted to see him to.” “Yes, angel his back I’ll invite him here okay.” “Okay.” “Now like I said JP and I went out and we had some champagne and orange juice it’s called a mimosa.” “Okay.” “Well, the mimosa’s where to strong for me and I got a little drunk.” “Mom, I’ve never seen you drunk.” “Yes well. I shouldn’t have been drinking this morning either. What happened was I was leaning on JP to the car and the paparazzi took pictures saying I’m cheating on dad with JP.” She started to laugh so hard that I wanted to laugh to but it wasn’t a laughing matter, not by the look on Nicolas face. “Angel” I tried to stop her “But JP like men.” “I know angel but they put it on social media.” “And why should I know about it.” “We just afraid the kids will tease you again Nikki.” Nicolas said. “Dad I won’t listen to them.” “But sweet pea they said something about me to.” “Okay what did they say?” “They said I was cheating on mom and that is why your mom went out with another man.” “Oh, but that isn’t true?” she sorts of said, asked. “No sweet pea I promise you that is not true when I told you it’s just you and your mom in my life, I was talking the truth.” “Well then I believe you.” “Just like that?” Nicolas asks a bit surprise. “Yes, dad why would you lie to me.” “I wouldn’t.” “Well then? I won’t listen to the other kids besides the meanest one is now my protector and after you gave him money, he will most definitely not be rude to me.” “You gave Kevin money?” I asked shocked
