Chapter 135

Nicol

I know I was silly with my legs in the air but we needed all the help we could get; to get pregnant again, I mean the first time was an accident but I was 12 years younger which actually makes a big difference. I don’t care that Nicolas thinks I’m silly I want to give us every chance I can. I dropped my legs from the wall, got dressed made sure my hair was just right and went to Jason to get our sandwiches.  “Nicol your coffee was delivered.”  “It’s fine it’s cold by now.”  I took a sandwich out of the bag and gave it to Jason.  “I brought you one as well.”  “Thank you, Nicol, what can I get you at Starbucks I’ll run quickly.”  “You really don’t have to Jason.”  “I know but I want to, to thank you for this.”  He showed me the sandwich “And then off course for handling that evil witch.”  That made me laugh “It’s my pleasure Jason, a Hazelnut latte please.”  “I’ll be right back.”  I walked into Nicolas’s office with the deli bag, “Jason is going to get us some coffee.”  Nicolas was making space on his little table at the coach.  “That’s nice of him I always have to beg him to get me Starbucks.”  “Well, I’m special.”  I put the bag down on the table and Nicolas grabbed me and hugged me “Oh yes you are.” He said in my ear.  We both took a seat on the coach, I pulled out the sandwiches, when Nicolas saw the name of the deli, I couldn’t believe it he said “This is my favorite deli I always ask Geoffrey to stop there or to get me their pastrami sandwich.  “Well surprise surprise it’s my favorite to I can’t believe we didn’t run into each other before the Gala.”  “The Gala was meant to be sweetheart.”  “Clearly.”  I said with a huge smile.

I took my first bite of the sandwich and moaned, Nicolas gave me the evil eye, “Don’t moan like that.”  “I can’t help it, it so delicious.”  “If you moan like that, I might just grab you and have you again.”  “I’m not complaining or protesting.”  He just gave me a smile, there was a knock on the door and Jason popped his head in, “Come in Jason. Safe by the knock.”  Nicolas said softly to me. “Flat Americano for the boss and a Hazelnut Latte for the boss lady.”  “Why you calling me the boss lady?”  I asked him a bit confused.  “The way you handled that witch it was ……. Just wow.”  “I agree fully with Jason, you handled her like a boss.”  “Well thank you both of you I was just protecting what is mine.”  That was Jason’s que to leave.  When Jason was out of the office Nicolas said “I am yours, you know that right?”  “I do but I can still get jealous or upset when I see things like today, Nicolas, if I wasn’t here to see the whole thing the message might have gotten to me very differently and that would have made me upset.”

“How long where you here?”  “Well, I arrive a while before Karen, I went to Luther first to tell him I’m not as bad as he thinks and I will sign anything he wanted me to if it means he will stop thinking I’m after your money.”  “Please tell me he didn’t make you sign anything because I will fire him.”  “No, he said just me being in his office and telling him all these things made him believe me.”  “Good because I will find another attorney if he didn’t stop his nonsense.”  “It’s not necessary Nicolas we are good.”  “I’m happy to hear that.”  “It means I was here for the whole scene from where Jason tried to stop her from going into your office to where I stepped in.”  “I’m very happy you saw everything and you can clearly see I don’t want anything to do with her I’m also happy you stopped me from making a very big scene.”  “It was clear don’t worry. And it’s my pleasure, I will never let you make a scene in your office Nicolas I know how much this place means to you.”  He leaned in and kissed me just a quick one. “Thank you.” “I have other news as well.”  “Oh, do tell.”  “I went to give my notice at my apartment, the super said I can move out immediately and he will have someone in the place by the end of the month apparently he has a waiting list.”  “That’s awesome news sweetheart; I’ll call the movers and get a storage unit.  Or what do you want to do with your things?”  “Storage unit for now, when we are married, I’ll donate the stuff to a women’s shelter.”  “Why only when we are married?”  I just gave him a look.  “Oh no, none of that we are getting married you can donate the stuff to the women shelter now, I’m not letting you go not ever again, this time I will burn down the city to find you.”  “You promise.”  “Cross my heart and hope to die.”  That had me smiling at him.  “Okay, we can do that I just need to take Nikki to the apartment to allow her to get what she wants from there and then we can donate everything.”  “Let’s do that on Sunday when she get’s back from her sleepover.”  “You want this done quickly.”  “Yes, I do, we are starting a life together we are trying to bring another life into this world we need to be totally committed.”  Nicolas said.  “I am totally committed.”  “I know but the apartment still feels like a backdoor that is open.”  “I’m not going to argue with you I’m just going to say I hear you.”  “Thank you, sweetheart.”  “For what?  Not arguing with you?”  “Yes, I don’t want us to spoil the great afternoon we had.”  “Don’t worry we won’t but I probable have to get going I’ve kept you out of work far to long.”  “No, I just have to sign another contract then we can leave you sit here and finish your sandwich like in completely Nicol and then I’ll finish up with the contract and we can leave together.”  “Are you sure?”  “100% sure, I don’t want you to leave not without me.”  “Okay I’ll wait for you.”  Nicolas was standing he bend down kiss my head and walked to his table.  I on the other hand was looking at the half-eaten sandwich and the fact that I needed to finish it, I had no idea how I was going to do it.
