Chapter 203

Nicolas

Fuck I took my eyes off the window because Nicol and I was having such a nice time and now Karen is standing at our table. Nicol must have also thought it was the waiter because she didn’t look up not until Karen said, “If you eat like that, he will come back to me sooner rather than later.”  She looked up and then at me.  “What the fuck are you doing here Karen?”  I asked as I got up from my chair.  “Well, I heard you lied to my father yesterday.”  “What on earth did I lie about?”  “The fact that we are getting married.  You should have really told him the truth Nicolas; he will make you a very rich man.  I suggest you go back to him and tell him the truth.”  Nicol got up from her chair.  “Where are you going?”  I asked her.  “I’m not listening to this delusional woman I’ll wait in the car.”  “Oh no please don’t go.”  Karen said grabbing at her chest but saying it so sarcastically I wanted to throw her with my plate of food.  “Okay sweetheart, I’ll be right out.”  Nicol was barely off her seat when Karen took her seat, I walked with Nicol to the door of the restaurant “I’m really sorry Nicol.”  “You didn’t invite her Nicolas it’s not your fault.  But we are going to talk about the fact that you saw her dad yesterday and didn’t tell me.”  “Okay that’s fair.”

When I saw Geoffrey walking towards Nicol I walked back to my table.  “Where you following us?” “No, I was following you, why on earth would I follow that bitch?”  “Be careful what you say about Nicol Karen.”  “Why you going to hit me?”  “I don’t hit women; I get other ways to get back at them.”  Fuck did I just give my plan away.  “What do you want?”  “Just what I said, my father can make you a very rich man all you have to do is tell him we are getting married and you will have so much money you wouldn’t know what to do with it.”  “And what kind of business are your father in?”  “Does that mean you will tell him?”  she asked so excited.  “I asked you a question Karen, what kind off business are you father into?”  “He’ll tell you when you go back to him and tell him we are getting married.”  “But we are not getting married Karen I have Nicol and Nikki.”  “Well, you can still have Nikki.”  “Are you just dumb or what?  I’m telling you I don’t want you in my life.”  “Don’t be silly anyone would want me in their lives.”  “Well not me. Now can you stop following me around and upsetting Nicol.”  “Oh, same the poor women.  She’s with my man but I’m upsetting her.”  It’s the second time I raised my voice with Karen and in front of a full restaurant “YOU ARE NOT MY WOMEN NOW GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SCULL.  I LOVE NICOL AND NO ONE ELSE.  STOP FOLLOWING US.”  I heard the faint sound of a camera going off, when I turn around there where 2 paparazzi’s filming the whole encounter.  I was so upset I didn’t take notice of my surroundings.  Karen got up and pretended that she was crying making sure the paparazzi take photos of that as well.  “Karen you are a real bitch.”  She turned to me and smiled, as she walked out of the restaurant.  I took my seat again and just shook my head.  Why do I allow this woman to get under my skin.  I got up and said “Excuse me” To the restaurant.  Suddenly it was quiet.  “I just want to apologize for my behavior and ruining your brunch.”  There was actually a few that said it’s okay but then there was a few that gave me the evil eye. I ignored them and went to the hostess.  “Can I please pay you.”  She gave me the bill and

I gave both the waiter and the hostess a hefty tip.  “I’m really sorry.”  “It’s not your fault sir.”  The hostess said. “Well, I shouldn’t have lost my cool.”  “We all reach the end of our patients at some point.”  “Thank you for that.”  I told her then turned around and walked towards the SUV.  Geoffrey got out and open the door for me.  “It was Karen that followed us.”  “Oh my God.” Geoffrey said. When I got in the SUV Nicol was looking at me “Are you okay?”  “Honestly?”  I asked her “Yes off course.”  “No, I’m not. I just lost my cool in front of all those people and yelled at Karen and she had the paparazzi there Nicol they have everything on camera, needless to say Nikki will be followed again tomorrow and you. I’m so sorry.”  “It’s not your fault Nicolas it’s Karen’s fault.”  “We’ll I took her to the Gala and broke my one rule never sleep with the same women twice now she thinks we are getting married.  Fucking married Nicol.”  “I hear you Nicolas but still after two nights no one in their right mind will think you’ll get married after spending two nights with a guy.  She’s really delusional.”  “You can say that again.”  “I take it the thing you were hiding from me was the fact that we were being followed?”  “Yes, I’m sorry.”  “NO, it’s okay I would have freaked out if we didn’t know who it was but I take it it was her?”  “It was.”  “And her father?”  “That sweetheart is another story; I didn’t want to tell you last night because you had so much on your mind and I didn’t want to put this on you to.”  “I understand but I’m feeling better today, what happened?”  “Well, her father, which I didn’t know at the time the meeting was arranged. Phoned Jason and told them they want a meeting with me to create an app for them.  When I got there everything was suspicious Nicol from the security to the fucking receptionist, I’m telling you they are busy with illegal stuff.”  “Like?”  “I have no clue but I can’t find any information on the company or on William Malonie which is Karen’s dad.”  “That is strange.” “You don’t know the half of it.”
