Chapter 27

Nicol

“Don’t cry Nicol.” “I’m sorry I just missed you guys so much.” She took my hand and sit next to me on the bed. “We missed you to Nicol a lot, but Nicolas most of all you broke his heart.” “I know I’m sorry.” “Don’t be Geoffrey and I understand why you did it, but you will have to explain it to Nicolas he won’t ever understand if you don’t tell him his way to upset and heartbroken to figure it out himself.” “I know Isabella I know but how how do I start, I know him he won’t give me time to get everything out before he flips out.” “You will just have to keep on trying. Now go take that shower and I’ll warm up your food I made your favorite.” “You didn’t?” I asked in shock “Oh yes I did.” “Macorani and cheese? Your recipe?” “Yes, child just the way you like it.” That made me cry even more. “Now jump in that shower.” She left me and gave me time to look around, the room was amazing if my room looked like this and he doesn’t even like me I don’t want to see Nikki’s room. I decided to admire everything later, I need to talk to Nikki before she has to go to bed, so I jump in the shower and true to her word all the expensive shampoo’s, conditioners, soaps and facial products I used at NYU was in the shower. I used these products 12 years ago that was the last time I could afford it. It was so nice to indulge a bit, but I had to tell myself this was just temporary nothing is going to last, Nikki and I are here temporary. I finished in the shower and put some of the conditioner in my hair it always made my hair shinier and the curls laid perfectly with the shampoo and conditioner I couldn’t afford anymore. I got into my PJ’s because come on he won’t look at me anymore not after all the models he had in his bed. So why not be comfortable then I walked out and went looking for Nikki and Nicolas. The sight of them sitting playing monopoly was so domestic and beautiful, I know I need to tell her his her dad but how is she going to react, that was the question.

“Come sit Isabella will bring your food.” Nicolas said. “You sure I can eat here; I don’t want to mess on your coach.” “Like I said to Nikki here you can eat where ever you want she can even eat in her room. You are staying here for a while Nicol eats where ever you want.” “Thank you, Nicolas.” He gave me a half smile. Isabella brought my food with a coke zero on the tray, it took me back because this is what she normally did when we were with Nicolas’s parents. Another tear slipped down my cheek, unfortunately Nicolas saw that but at least he didn’t say anything. “So how was your day angel?” “So good, Nicolas and I played games when I woke up after my nap and now, we are playing monopoly but I think his cheating his winning by far.” “No angel his just good in monopoly.” I said remembering the times we played it. I took a bite of the macaroni and cheese and moaned as I chewed it, this was just so much better than mine. I saw Nicolas giving me a look but it wasn’t a good look, not that I know what I did wrong. But in any case, his angry with me and I’ll just have to deal with any look he gives me.

Nicolas

When Nicol walked towards us, I could see she was exhausted I could also see she was getting sick. After years of being together and knowing her better than I know myself I knew she was getting sick. I saw Nikki looking at us when I told her she should go take a shower before she comes and sit with us. Clearly no one has ever talk to Nicol like I did in front of Nikki but for some reason I still feel protective of her I know I’m pissed at her but they say love and hate has a very thin line. When she came back from her shower her hair was hanging loose like she use to wear it at Uni after a shower and she wore very thin PJ” s in fact I could see her nipples, I didn’t think it would have any effect on me seeing her like this but my dick was stirring in my pants. And when she took a bite of her macaroni and cheese and she moaned fuck I was as hard as a rock I needed to take the pillow and put it on my lap or else Nicol would see it and I don’t want her to know she still had any effect on me. Clearly, she enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, Isabella made her favorite food when she heard she was coming to stay with us. I didn’t totally agree with it but for some reason Isabella and Geoffrey wasn’t angry with her it was like they know something I didn’t and that pissed me off just a little bit.

Nikki couldn’t stop talking about her room, “Mom I want to show you, my room.” Nikki said while Nicol was still eating. Nicol was actually going to put her food down and walk with Nikki to her room. “Sweet pea don’t you think mom should finish eating before you show her your room?” I asked very diplomatically. “Yes okay.” “And it’s your turn by the way.” She rolled the dice and Nicol started to eat further not looking at me but I could see the tears. When she was done, she got up and walked to the kitchen I could hear her rinsing her plate before she put it in the dishwasher, I wanted to tell her that was what Isabella was for but she did it 12 years ago clearly, she will never stop. “Okay angel I’m ready.” Nikki got up slowly and walked with Nicol to her room. I could hear Nicol oohing and aahing over her room just as much as Nikki did. I on the other hand got up and went to look what was in the bag she brought in. There was antibiotics and some other tablets I took out one of each and put it on the counter for her to drink just like I did so many years ago. It was like I just got back into the habit of doing stuff for her without her asking it was like the past 12 years never happened. That made me angry at myself so I walked to my room and slammed the door closed. I didn’t want to see her anymore tonight.
