Chapter 33
Nicolas
Everything Nicol said last night was still spinning in my head and I know I can’t talk to her about it so I had to put it to the one side. Apparently, we are going to Central Park in this cold and we are going to get hot chocolate and walk around then we are coming home to watch some movies, I could probable wangle myself out of watching the movie I could use my work as an excuse. I can’t be in a room so long with Nicol I’m angry with her and at one time I actually though I hated her but clearly, I still have feelings for her because every time we are close to each other my body reacts and that is why I become so rude because I don’t want my body to react not for one second, not to her. The thing is I could see Nicol was also reacting to me I mean when I see how she looks at me especially when I walked into the kitchen with my hair wet, which was probable on purpose because I know she always loved it I could see she was almost drooling. After breakfast Nicol went to help Nikki to get dressed. When I got back to the living room Nikki was busy with homework already dressed and ready to go to Central Park “Sweet Pea are you sure you want to go to Central Park, it’s cold outside.” “I’m sure Nicolas don’t worry I’m feeling really good.” “Okay but only if you sure?” “I promise you I am.” “Something I can help you with?” “No thank you this is so much easier than yesterdays or it’s because you explained it to me that I understand the equations so much better.” “I’m glad Nikki but you are a clever girl, you understand something very quickly.” “Mom also says that.” “What do I say?” Nicol asked as she walked into the living room. My eyes almost popped out she was wearing skinny jeans and a very tight-fitting sweater, fuck I could see the whole shape of her body and it was killing me, maybe I should stay at home, I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to keep my hands of her. Maybe having sex with Nicol will be a good thing like a hate fuck if that is even a thing, I just think I’ll be so much more relaxed if I have her out of my system. I can’t believe I’m thinking of fucking her. “You always tell me how clever I am and that I’m so much like my dad.” That got my attention again, fuck Nicol what where you thinking.

Nikki was rubbing salt in the wounds without even knowing it. I could see Nicolas whole demeaner changed when she said that but I can’t help it, if she knew it would be a whole different story but she doesn’t know. “Maybe I should stay at home.” Nicolas said after that commend. “No Nicolas you have to come with, please come with.” Nikki begged him. “We will understand if you can’t come with.” I tried. I looked at Nikki then back at Nicol it wasn’t Nikki’s fault so I decided to go with them but I’m not watching movies with them that is for sure. “No, it’s fine I’ll come with I’m already dressed for the cold.”
I took Nikki’s hand as we got to the street, she didn’t like it but she left it she just gave me a look. But come on she’s my baby I don’t want anything to happen to her. Nicolas was walking on the other side of Nikki leaving her in the middle. “So, what do you want to do when we get there?” Nicolas asked her. We weren’t walking fast because of Nikki’s stiches we still needed to take it slow. “I want a hot chocolate and churro’s the big one’s that’s dipped in the chocolate.” “Sounds like a lot of chocolate angel?” “I’m sick okay mom I’m sure I can be treated just this once.” Nicolas looked at me and I at him. “Okay angel just this once.” She really sounded like a teenager and to tell you the truth I wasn’t ready for it. When we got to Central Park Nicolas told us to go sit at the fountain. “No, we’ll come with you you can’t carry everything by yourself.” “I’m sure I’ll manage.” “Nicolas’s stop being so hard headed we are coming with.” I shouldn’t have said that not only did I get a look from Nicolas but Nikki was looking at us intently probably waiting for Nicolas’s answer. I could see he wanted to say so many things but he stuck with, “Fine come with.” We walked to the first street cart where we found the hot chocolate, Nikki was in 7th Heaven with the hot chocolate then she saw the cart that had the churro’s “There let’s go there.” She pointed at the cart. She wanted to walk faster then she realized she still had stiches. She grabbed her tummy. “Angel, are you okay?” “Yes, yes I just forgot for a second.” “Okay but don’t do it again okay.” I could see Nicolas wasn’t happy, he wasn’t happy about the fact that I dragged Nikki out to Central Park in the cold and he was definitely not happy that I called him hard headed. We got our churro’s and went to sit at the fountain to eat and drink our hot chocolate. “This is delicious.” Nikki said. Nicolas was still sulking “It is angel.” When we where done Nicolas was the first one that said we needed to walk back to the apartment he wasn’t happy with how cold it was. Nikki wanted to argue but I stopped her “Nikki let’s go the sooner we get back the sooner we can watch some movies.” “Okay that’s probable true.” That was the only way I could de-escalate a fight because Nicolas doesn’t know it yet but she’s just as stubborn as he was and if she wasn’t sick, she would have told me we just got here and she didn’t want to go home.
We started to walk back to the apartment building but suddenly a big wind came out of know where it made us take two steps back and one step forward. “I knew this was going to happen.” Nicolas said under his breath, without even asking he picked Nikki up grabbed my hand and started to walk us back to the apartment, I know we wouldn’t have made it without him but I didn’t like the fact that he just grabbed my hand all kinds of feelings went through me when he did that. When we were finally in the foyer of his building, he put Nikki down and looked at her “You okay?” “Yes, thank you.” I wanted to say something but he gave me one look “If you not going to thank me don’t say anything at all.” He pressed the button for the elevator and the conversation was over and done with according to him, I will say my say sooner or later.
