Chapter 201
Nicolas
When Nikki was out of the room, I told Nicol “I search in your bag for the envelope I’m sorry I was just too curious not to.” “It’s not a problem. What was in there?” First, I gave her the business card from Jonathan. “Oh, that’s nice of him, it makes everything worthwhile.” “Then you’ll have to lay your eyes on this.” I gave her the check. “Wait what?” She asked totally shocked. “Am I reading this right?” “You are.” “1 million dollars, oh my God Nicolas.” “I will say you are up and running Nicol without your own money, I think I should take tomorrow morning off then we open an account for the charity and deposit this check.” “I can’t ask you to take of work again Nicolas.” “You didn’t ask I’m offering.” I was planning on keeping her from the shelters and the clinic tomorrow, that was my plan especially after the day she had. She put the check back into the envelope and laid next to me with her head on my chest. I was playing with her hair. “I didn’t ask you how your day was?” She asked. “Interesting.” Was my answer, should I tell her about Karen or even about Kevin. I decided to leave the Karen situation and tell her about Kevin. “I did something today not sure you are going to approve.” She lifted her head and looked at me. “What did you do?” “I asked my PI to look into Kevin and his family.” “You did not?” She asked shocked. “Is that a good or bad?” “You seriously did?” “I did.” “Oh my God Nicolas.” “What? We need to know who these people are.” “No, I get why you did it but still.” She laid her head on my chest again. I didn’t know if she was happy or angry about it until she asked 5 minutes later “Did they find anything?” I had to laugh. “Oh, so you just as curios as me?” I said still laughing. “I am.” “No nothing yet sweetheart he’ll probable let me know tomorrow.” “Okay and you will tell me good or bad?” “Yes, sweetheart I will.” She got on her elbows and kissed me “Good night, Nicolas.” “Good night sweetheart.”

The next morning when I woke up, I felt so much better. It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do for you. I looked at my watch and saw it was already past 10 am, oh my Nicolas wanted to go to the bank. I got up and went searching for him, if his not at home I’ll go to the shelters I decided as I walked to the kitchen. No sign of Nicolas there. Which meant the next stop will be his office. I knocked and open the door. “Oh hi.” I said surprised when I saw him behind his desk. “Morning sweetheart.” “I thought you went to work.” I said as I walked towards him. When I got at reaching point, he grabbed me around my waist and pulled me towards him letting me fall onto his lap. “Why would I, I told you I’m taking you to the bank this morning.” “Yes, but I slept so late.” “You know I’m the boss and I can work from where ever I want right?” “Yes, but still.” “Nonsense you go and get ready and we can go out for brunch then we can go to the bank.” “I wanted to go to the shelter and the clinic.” “I already called JP he has everything under control; you are taking a day for yourself.” “But….” “But nothing Nicol, go and get ready.” He hugged me before he let go of me.
I went straight to the bathroom and got in the shower. I wasn’t so sure about the fact that Nicolas had already planned our day but on the other hand it felt so good to be taken care off. When Nikki and I was alone I couldn’t take the next day off if I had a bad day, I had to go on with life but now, now I can take a day for myself. Nikki was right things have changed drastically for us. I showered, put make up on, done my hair in record time. I got dressed in dark green pants suite which went perfectly with my red hair. I was just about to walked out of the room when Nicolas walked in. “Oh, wow you look sexy.” “Thank you.” I said smiling at him. “You ready to go?” “Yes, where are you taking me for brunch?” “It’s a surprise.”

The next morning, I worked from home I promised Nicol we were going to open a bank account for our charity and that is exactly what we are going to do, but first I’m taking her for brunch. Before she woke up, I called JP and told him she won’t be coming in she needed a day for herself and he fully agreed then I called Luther to find out if he set the ball on the roll with Anton and Karen. I was very pleased to hear he already had a date with both of them on Friday night after work, which was amazing. Nicol knocked on the door and walked into my office totally surprised that I was still at home. I told her we are going for brunch and she needed to get ready. While she was getting ready, I made a reservation at the Buvette restaurant, I know from experience that their food was out of this world. When Nicol was ready, we walked to the new SUV where I open the door for her. “Thank you.” She said as she got in. When I got in, she asked “Are you going to tell me where we are going?” “Not yet.” “Nicolas please.” “Nope but you will love it.” I said smiling at her.
I’ve noticed that Geoffrey was driving in circles but I wasn’t sure I should ask him, when we went through the same streets for a 4th time, I wanted to ask him what was going on but for some reason something stopped me from asking. Nicol was to busy on her phone to even notice we were driving in circles. When we got to the restaurant that should have been a 20-minute drive instead it was a 50-minute drive I told Nicol “I’ll come and open the door for you.” While Nicol was still in the SUV, I asked Geoffrey “Why where we driving in circles?” “Someone was following us.” “Fuck”
