Chapter 189
Nicol
I woke up past 9 am, I started to get ready for the day. I wanted to go and fetch Mia and Kayla and take them to the clinic, I also wanted to visit hopefully 2 more shelters and tell them what we are doing at the hospital and that we want to help them. I was just about ready and, on my way, to the kitchen to eat breakfast, because Isabella wouldn’t let me leave the house if I didn’t eat, when my phone rang. I looked perplexed at my phone because it was Nicolas PA Jason that was calling me. “Hi Jason.” It sounded more like a question than a greeting. “Nicol how are you?” He asked very upbeat and friendly. “I’m good and you?” “Good good. I’m actually calling you to offer my help with the charity event.” “Seriously, won’t it be to much for you?” “No not at all I organized all those events in the beginning of Nicolas career before he started to roll in the money and could get other people to do it. It would be a great honor for me, if I can help you.” “Jason you are a God send really; I wasn’t looking forward to working with someone I don’t know and then someone that organized such a big event. It made me nervous.” “Then I’m very happy I can help you. You just need to decide on a date preferably say in 3 months’ time, it would give us enough time to organized, that would put us in May.” “Thanks Jason that’s were I made my first mistake I thought we can do it in March.” “Less than a month to organize?” He asked shocked “That will never work, let’s do 3.” “Thank you, Jason I’ll look, for a date today and then we can start next week in organizing.” “That sounds perfect and Nicol anything else you need please let me know I really want to be involved in your charities.” The Gala I understood but not this. All I said was “I’ll keep that in mind.” I didn’t want to ask him why he wanted to be involved we all had our own reasons. “Enjoy your day, Nicol.” “Thank you, you to Jason.” When I disconnected the call, I was so relieved to have Jason that will help me.
After my breakfast that consist of toast with Avo and an egg I called Herman to get me downstairs. I couldn’t believe I didn’t like the Avo and egg thing but now I can’t get enough of it. Will this be my pregnancy craving? If it is it’s not a bad one to have. I got in the back of the SUV and Herman drove me to the shelter. When we arrived Enzo was on his spot arguing with a younger man that was trying to get onto the premises. Herman walked me to Carol before he went outside to assist Enzo. “Morning Carol, what’s going on outside?” “Morning Nicol, what do you mean?” She asked while going through accounts. “Enzo is trying to keep someone out.” “Oh, good I haven’t even notice which is a good thing, but let me check.” She looked at the camera’s and she could actually zoom in on the face of the younger guy. “Oh, I wondered when he will show up?” “Who is it?” “It’s Kayla’s boyfriend.” “And we spoke about him just yesterday. I wondered what came over him?” “Nicol if you ever find out what goes on in an abusive man’s mind, please do share that with me it would make my life so much easier.” I didn’t know what to say to that so I didn’t say anything. “Well, I guess we should wait that Enzo get rid of him before we go to the hospital.” “I would highly suggest that.”
“Carol, do you know the managers from the other women shelters around you, I think there is three others.” “Yes, dear I do, we help each other we’re we can.” “Can I ask you a favor.” “Anything if I can do anything for you just to repay you for what you have done for us in this short time I will.” “You don’t have to repay me Carol.” I said touching her shoulder. “Is it possible for you to call the other shelters and inform them of the women’s clinic that is open at Bellevue Hospital and that they are more than welcome to send any injured or any one that needs medical attention to the clinic.” “I will Nicol they will be so happy, I also want to visit to more today, which two do you recommend? Who needs our help the most?” “I would say the one that is in the same street as the hospital Nicol, it’s 3 blocks from the hospital in 1st Ave.” “And who is the manager there?” “Sophia, I’ll call her and tell her you will come around today.” “That would be highly appreciated thank you Carol.” “I’m going to go outside and find out if it’s safe for me to bring Mia and Kayla out.” Carol took the phone to call Sophia and I went outside. Enzo and Herman was standing inside the property. “Hi Enzo.” “Hi Nicol.” “Is that guy gone?” “Yes, I phoned the police they came and fetched him.” “Great I want to take Mia and Kayla to the hospital but I don’t want to bring them out if it’s not safe.” “It’s safe and besides Herman and I am here if something happens.” “I know but I don’t want to put them in that position.” “It’s safe you can get them and I’ll make sure no one is close when you go out.” “Thank you, Enzo.”
I went to the back of the shelter to find Mia and Kayla dressed to kill probable the best cloths they brought with. “Good morning, ladies.” “Morning Nicol.” Kayla said jumping up, she was clearly very excited. “Are you here to take us to the clinic?” “I am.” She took Mia’s hand and help her from her seat it was so heart warming to see how the women help each other here. “Kayla, I’ll help her.” “No, we are good.” When Mia was on her feet both of them grabbed their bags and walked to the office. “See you later Carol.” “Enjoy ladies.” Kayla was the only one to say “I can’t wait.”
