Chapter 175
Nicol
The next morning when I woke up, Nicolas was already gone, when I looked at my cellphone it was already past 10 in the morning. I couldn’t believe I slept so late and I didn’t wake up to get sick during the night, that was a relieve. I laid in bed taking stock of how I felt and over all I feel a lot better than yesterday and the day before. I decided it’s a good day to go to the hospital and see how much progress JP made with the clinic and then to pop in at the women shelter I wanted to make sure Mia and Kayla was okay.
I got up and went to the bathroom brushed my teeth then I put the shower on the hottest setting I could handle. I always feel better after a hot shower when I was sick, it’s like you wash away the germs only thing is this is not a germ it’s a baby but non the less the shower did its work. When I was ready and all dressed up, I felt like a new woman. I walked out of the room only to hear Nicolas’s voice, to say I was surprise was an understatement I thought he would be at work already especially because he took yesterday off. He was standing in the foyer talking to Geoffrey and another man, Geoffrey noticed me and Nicolas must have seen because he turned around. “Nicol you are awake. How are you feeling?” He asked not moving from his spot. “I’m feeling much better thank you. What are you still doing at home?” “Come over here I need you to meet someone.” I walked towards him but before he introduced me, he gave me a hug and kissed me right in front of the strange man. When we pulled away, he said “Nicol, I’ll like you to meet your new driver and bodyguard Herman.” Herman pushed his hand out to me, “Nice to meet you mam.” I was still in shock I thought he forgot about this maybe there was to many things going on for him to remember he wanted to get me a bodyguard or should I say I hoped so. I took his hand “Nice to meet you Herman but please call me Nicol.” “Yes mam.” “No Herman Nicol if you are going to be with me you need to call me on my first name.” “Okay Nicol.” “That’s better.” Geoffrey took Herman’s arm and they walked out of the foyer. “I hoped you forgot.” I said honestly to Nicolas. “Not a chance sweetheart not a chance in hell I forgot.”
He took my hand and walked me right to the kitchen where Isabella was busy making him his breakfast, normally he eats with Nikki in the morning, I wonder what is different today. “Haven’t you eaten yet?” I had to ask. “No, I was waiting for you.” Okay he wanted to make sure I eat that was obvious. But I didn’t pressure him for an answer because knowing it and hearing it is two different scenarios I might just get upset if he confirms what I already know. “What can I get you Nicol.” “I’ll have what he’s having Isabella please.” “You going to try Avo and egg on toast?” He asked surprised because I made fun of his breakfast before but today it sounded like something I wanted to try. “Yes, Nicolas, I’ll try it, hopefully I’ll keep it down. How was Nikki this morning?” “Very excited to go to school, honestly what do you think about her having a boyfriend because I’m freaked out.” “I’m freaked out to Nicolas I’m not sure I handle it correctly yesterday but I think by asking her how it happened I made her forget about my original reaction.” “Which was?” “Shock pure and utter shock she’s 11 for God’s sake.” “Almost 12.” Nicolas added like Nikki didn’t remind be of that fact constantly. “Yes, fine almost 12 but still.” “Don’t worry I was shocked as well; she didn’t like my reaction when she told me.” “Well at least I’m not the only one.” “No, you are not, but if I can be totally honest with you, I heard some of your conversation yesterday I was standing at the door, when I heard her talking about her period, I decided rather to not come in.” “That was a good decision she would have kept quiet if you came in.” “How do we feel about that?” Nicolas asked. “That meaning her period?” “Yes.” “Nicolas there is not much we can do about nature but I am sad, my baby is not a baby anymore.” “No, she’s not we probable have to except that.” “I’m not ready, maybe when this one is born, I’ll realized she’s not the baby anymore.” I said rubbing my belly. Nicolas just smiled at me obviously he felt the same.
“What are your plans for the day?” Nicolas asked changing the subject which was a good thing because I could feel myself getting emotional. “I was thinking of going to the hospital to see how much progress JP made and then go check in on Mia and Kayla maybe take the shelter some fresh fruits, vegetables and a few other stuffs.” “That sounds like a good idea.” “And you? What are you doing today except making millions?” I asked him smiling while I said it. “Oh, my dear I don’t make millions I make billions.” He said laughing at me. “But besides that, I have an appointment I have to get to, so finish your breakfast then I can leave.” “You do know I’m not a child right I can eat my food without someone watching me.” “Are you sure because I have proof to the contrary.” “Nicolas I’m not in the mood to fight with you.” “Me neither so finish your breakfast.” I was sulking when he said that but I did as I was told and finished my breakfast luckily, I didn’t feel like I was going to be sick which was a good sign. “See I did it.” He got up and kissed me on the head. “And I’m very proud of you, now remember to eat this afternoon.” “Yes dad.” I said. He just rolled his eyes at me. “Enjoy your day sweetheart I’ll see you later.” “Love you, Nicolas.” “Love you to.”
