Chapter 62

Nicol

I just went for it and asked him “And my lease?” “Give it up we can put your stuff in storage, just in case something happens.” “If you think like that, I should hold on to my apartment I won’t get one that is so central again.” “If things don’t work out Nicol, I’ll buy you guys a place don’t worry about it, you and Nikki are my responsibility from now on.” I wanted to argue but it was like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I moved closer to him, his eyes got bigger and bigger. “don’t worry I just want to give you a hug.” I pulled him to me and hugged him. But as I hugged him, I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks. “Hey why are you crying?” He asked as he pushed me away. “Sorry.” “Don’t be sorry what’s wrong?” “It’s just it feels nice to have someone else helping me with all the responsibility, here with you is the first time I felt alive in 12 years, yes I know I could have told you Nicolas so don’t go there, but you should understand by now I only had your best interest at heart but raising a child on your own and worrying about work, and overtime to be able to pay for everything she needs, it took a toll on me for the first time I could breath again. I really want to tell you no I don’t need your help but truthfully, I do and it took me 12 years to realized I need help. So, thank you. I know we are going to argue, that is inevitable but I want you to know I’m very thankful for you.” He pulled me closer and started to kiss me the kiss started out so innocent and then it got deeper, but before it could go any father he pulled away.

Nicolas

After what she just said I should probably make my own confession, I gave her a kiss thanking her in a way for what she said but the kiss got hotter and deeper but I pulled away. “Well then, I should probable tell you, that I understand why you did what you did Nicol, it doesn’t hurt less but I understand and thank you for that, really thank you, I truly wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your sacrifice. I won’t say I’m not still hurt because I am but I understand and I want you to know that from now on I’ll take care of both of you I’ll even draw up a contract stating that whatever happens between the two of us I will look after both of you, you don’t have to worry about school fees, ballet fees in fact if you can get a better school we can move her and University you don’t have to worry about I’ll cover all Nikki’s expensive. Obviously, the best scenario for Nikki would be you and me ending up together.” “To be honest for me to.” She said without even thinking. “Thank you for telling me, but I need time to work through everything okay?” “Okay.” “So, from now on no animosity and we can see where this goes with us.” “The only thing I ask for is that we don’t give Nikki false hope Nicolas.” “I totally agree, no touching and kissing in front of Nikki.” “Agree.” “And the contract stating I’ll pay for everything.” “I trust you Nicolas and I’ll take your word for it. I know you only want what is best for Nikki.” “And you Nicol. That’s why I have another conversation I want to have with you.” “Really and that is?” “Your career.” “I’m not ready to talk about that Nicolas can we leave that for now?” “For now, but I’m not leaving it for long.” “Fair, but I’m going to bed I have an early shift tomorrow.” I pulled her towards me and kissed her. “Good night angel.” I whispered in her ear. “Good night, Nicolas.” Then she got up and went to her own room. Leaving me with a hard dick again.

I fell asleep quite quickly I didn’t think I would but with everything out in the open it was easier to sleep. She knew where she stood with me and I had a very good idea where I stood with her, let’s put it this way if I ask her to marry me tomorrow, she will say yes of that, I was sure. But I couldn’t miss use that privilege. I got up jumped in the shower and got ready for work, I dressed in one of my black Armani suits and a black shirt and tie. When I got to the kitchen Nikki was dressed in her school uniform eating her cereal. “Morning sweat pea.” “Morning Nicolas, you look nice.” She said. “Why thank you and look at you in your school uniform.” “I don’t like it.” “Well, I think you look pretty.” “Thank you.” “You mom already left?” “Yes, very early, I think she’s working an earlier shift to be at home when I get here.” “Oh, does she normally do that?” “When I was sick and not at school for a few days then yes, she wants to make sure she helps me with my homework.” “But you did your homework everyday right?” “Yes, we did, but that is just how mom is.” “Oh.” I took my cup of coffee and sat at the table drinking it and thinking about Nicol and how I can make her life easier, this nurse thing this is not what she wanted to do I know it and she knows it. I came up with an idea and couldn’t wait to get to the office to speak to my attorney. “You ready to go sweat pea?” “Are you coming with me?” “Yes, and maybe I’ll be there when Geoffrey picks you up as well.” “Seriously?” she asked very excited. “Yes, sweet pea seriously.” She jumped up and grabbed her bag, “I’m ready.”
