Chapter 235
Nicol
Nicolas was watching Nikki and Kevin like a hawk I don’t even think he knows what movie we watched. In my books it went well I thought Kevin might try and put his hand around Nikki which would have Nicolas explode at least Kevin didn’t try anything. When the movie was finished the kids walked out first standing in the foyer waiting for us. “And how was the movie? It was cool right?” Nikki rambled on. “Yes, Nikki it was good.” She was talking over poor Kevin he couldn’t even get a word in. Nicolas was the one that asked “How was it for you Kevin?” “Very nice thank you sir.” Nikki kept on asking Nicolas to take a picture of her and Kevin and he kept on giving her an excuse, we were afraid she will put it on social media as soon as her phone was set up. Fuck that was another conversation we will have to have with her, not putting photos on social media if the other person did not give permission. But for now, we all got in the SUV and took Kevin home. As we stopped at Kevin’s house Nikki got out with him. “Where are you going Nikki?” Nicolas asked. “Just going to walk him to the door.” “No Nikki I’m good.” Kevin tried. “But I want to.” “It’s a boy’s job to walk a girl to her door not the other way around.” “Why can’t we change that stigma?” Nikki persisted. “It just doesn’t work like that.” Kevin tried. I wasn’t sure if he just didn’t want her close to his house or if he was shy or was trying to get on our good side? “Fine I’ll stay, but I’ll call you tomorrow when I get my new phone.” “Okay, thank you sir, mam.” “Our pleasure Kevin.” He turned around and waved at Nikki who shyly waved back.
As we drove home Nikki was still talking about the movie and how nice it was that Kevin went with her. She was so excited I wasn’t sure she will be able to sleep tonight and Nicolas and I still need to set up for tomorrow. Nicolas and I decided to set everything up, when she wakes up everything will be ready. When we drove into the parking area of the apartment building Nicolas looked at me and leaned into me “You think she will be able to sleep tonight?” “Honestly no I don’t.” I whispered back. We all got out of the SUV with Nikki running to the lifts. “Sweet pea where does all this energy come from?” Nicolas asked because even in the lift she couldn’t stand still. “I’m just excited dad, today was so awesome. You became my dad on paper and I had my first date. And then tomorrow I can’t wait for tomorrow to have all my girlfriends here and having a nice party with pizza’s and mani and Pedi’s I’m in heaven.” She said turning in circles. That had Nicolas and me laughing it was me that had to bring her back to earth. As soon as the doors open to the lift, I was the one to tell her “You need to get ready for bed angel.” “But mom.” “No if you want to be ready for your party tomorrow you need your sleep.” That got her attention. “Your probable right I’m just not sure I’ll be able to sleep.” “You have to try sweet pea.” She threw her arms around Nicolas’s waist “Thank you for everything today dad.” Then she moved to me and did the same. “It’s our pleasure sweet pea.” Nicolas said. She hopped to her room and eventually Nicolas and I was alone.
Nicolas
Today was a busy day, a very busy day, from the court to McDonalds, getting Kevin going to the movies and now Nicol and I have to set up for tomorrow and gift wrap Nikki’s presents. When Nikki was finally in her room and asleep Nikki and I could start with the tents. “What shall we do first?” Nicol asked. “I’ll move the furniture to make space for the tents.” “Okay I’ll help.” “No Nicol you will not. Go get the tents so long.” I didn’t want her to carry heavy stuff so I’d rather give her things that wasn’t heavy. “You sure?” “Yes, off course I am.” While Nicol disappeared to the guestroom, I was busy moving the furniture. When Nicol came back with the tents I took it from them. “Shall we set them up first?” I asked Nicol. “Yes, then we can put the other stuff in.” Nicol and I started to set up the tents luckily it was easy to do, which made me happy because I was tired and if I’m tired, I don’t even want to think how Nicol was feeling. When the last tent was set up, Nicol went to sit on the coach throwing her head back. I went to the guest bedroom and got the mattrasses and the blankets with each girl name on. While I was doing that Nicol went to get the party packs and the pack with all the mani and Pedi stuff in. We put that on each girls pillow and stood back. “This looks amazing I’m jealous I wasn’t invited.” Nicol said laughing. “I’ll send you on a spa day after Nikki’s birthday you deserve it.” “What about you, you deserve it to.” “I’m not the pregnant one am I.” “Well, that will be funny.” Nicol teased me. “Oh, you still have energy to tease me?” “Not really.” “Well let’s go and wrapped Nikki’s presents and get into bed, you look tired.” “Jeez thanks.” “I didn’t mean it like that.” I backtracked quickly. “You better not.” I went to my walk-in closet and got out the cellphone I bought as well as the Apple Pro computer and ear pods. “Jeez Nicolas.” “What? She needs this stuff.” “But you could have bought cheaper stuff.” “Why I can afford these?” She just shook her head and helped me wrapped the gifts.
