Chapter 127

Nicol

To say having so many people scream at you and take photos of you is daunting is an understatement.  I hated it, every second but I knew it was necessary they needed to see Nicolas and I are a united front and there was nothing going on with other people.  I did in fact like 2 things that happened on our short work to the restaurant’s door, the fact that one of them thought I was a model I thought that was quite a compliment and when Nicolas dipped me to kiss me that was amazing, he actually took away all my fears, he should have done that in the beginning of the trip to the door.  At least now we are seated at the back of the restaurant far away from any windows.  “I think that went well, what do you think?”  Nicolas asked me.  “Well, I was a nervous wreck but I did like it when you kissed me and when they thought I was a model.”  He leaned over the table touched my face and said “Sweetheart you much more beautiful than any model I’ve ever seen.”  I rolled my eyes at him because really that is just not possible, I’m a plain Jane.  “Don’t you roll your eyes at me I’m telling you the truth.”  “I don’t really feel like a model Nicolas I’m a plain Jane there is nothing special about me.”  “Don’t spoil a good evening, Nicol you are the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen so stop with this plain Jane shit okay.”  I could see I was making him a bit angry so I decided to stop and just try and believe what his telling me.  Don’t get me wrong I don’t think I’m ugly but he had so many models and I though they where much prettier than me, but I’m, going to leave those thoughts for myself.

“Now shall I order us a bottle of champagne?”  He said with a sneaky smile.  “Really Nicolas? That’s what caused all the problems this morning, I think I’ll stick with a glass of wine but only one glass then I’m switching to water.”  “You sure?”  “Yes, I’m sure.”  The waiter came and asked what we wanted to drink “Your best bottle Sauvignon Blanc.”  I knew Nicolas preferred red but he was making an exception for me, who couldn’t love him for that.  When the waiter left Nicolas smiled from ear to ear “I need to tell you something.”  “What?”  “It’s about Nikki and Kevin; I didn’t tell you this part yet.”  “Oh my, what happened?”  “Well Nikki was angry with me when I gave him money, she said now his going to be even worse.  I asked her what she meant, and she told me Kevin couldn’t leave her alone he even excused himself when she had to go to the bathroom.”  I was taking a sip of my water as he said it and almost spit it out.  “No, he did not?”  “Oh yes he did he stood outside the bathroom and waited for her; she wasn’t happy.”  “I can only think.”  “Well at least he even kept Zoe away from her today, I find this all very entertaining.” Nicolas said smiling.  “And how did you cool Nikki down because I knew she was irritated?”  “I asked her if anyone bullied her and she said no.  So, I told her my plan worked.”  “Okay and what if your plan works to well?”  “What do you mean?”  “What if the two of them fall in love I mean Rika did say she thinks Nikki has a crush on him.”  He got quiet his smile disappeared, and then the smile came back “No I’m not worried she’s to irritated with him.”  “Okay Nicolas let’s hope it stays that way, the hormones for both of them is going to kick in any time now.”  “Nicol no don’t let me think about that please.”  “I’m just preparing you.”  “Well dually noted.”

Nicolas

Nicol was making me stress and tonight is not a night for stressing tonight we celebrate being together and growing our family, I’ll worry about the rest when the times comes.  The waiter brought our wine and when he left, I lifted my glass, so did Nicol “To the two of us sticking together no matter what and to growing our family.”  “I can cheers to that.”  We clink our glasses and both took a sip of our wine.  “This is nice.”  Nicol said.  White wasn’t my favorite but I could definitely agree this was a nice drinking wine.  “It is.  Now what are we going to eat?”  “You choose I’m good with anything.”  “You sure?”  “Off course Nicolas, you know me.”  The waiter came back and I ordered the STK Pearls as a starter, it was ½ dozen oysters – 1 oz American caviar – Mignoitette with a cocktail sauce.  I know Nicol didn’t eat much but tonight I’m going to order her favorites and I’m going to make sure she eat most of it even if I have to feed her.  While we waited for the starter Nicol said “Oh I actually got news to.”  “Do tell.”  We were like 2 school kids gossiping.  “I found out my hairdresser is gay as well and he asked me about the photo and who the handsome man with me was I told him all about JP and he gave me his card to pass on to JP.”  “So, you playing match maker?”  “Sort off JP needs someone in his life he can’t be alone.”  “But don’t you think it’s to soon?”  “No, I don’t think so, I’m going to give the card to JP and he can decide.”  “That sounds like a good idea maybe we can go on a double date one of these days?”  “You would go on a double date with JP?”  “Off course I will sweetheart his your friend and I always liked your friends.”  “Wish I could say the same about yours.”  “What do you mean?”  “Come on Nicolas your friends always thought I was a gold digger and now apparently your lawyer to.”
