Chapter 63

Nicolas

We drove to Nikki’s school; Nikki had her face against the window looking at the scenery outside. I was busy looking at my calendar to see what I had planned for the day and if I’ll be able to get off work earlier to come with Geoffrey to come and fetch Nikki. As we got closer Nikki started to fidget with her hands, I’ve come to realized the past week she does that when she was nervous. “What’s wrong sweet pea?” “Nothing.” She said in a way that I shouldn’t ask again, but I’m still new at this so I asked her again “Sweet pea we said we will never lie to each other.” “I know but ….” “You can tell me anything.” “Fine, I was hoping the girls that was making fun of me will be outside when we stop.” “Hopefully, just remember there is still this afternoon as well as tomorrow and the day after that and after that.” “What you mean you are going to bring me to school every day?” “Yes, off course why wouldn’t I?” “I just thought I might have to take the sub way someday soon.” “No if I can’t be with Geoffrey will bring you but it won’t always be in the limousine.” “That’s fine your other cars are just as cool.” “Well thank you very much sweet pea.” “We are almost at the school.” “Okay when we stop don’t jump out wait for Geoffrey to open the door for you okay?” “Okay.” She said but she was smiling from ear to ear. Something so small that can make her this happy. I would love to see that smile on her face every day. Just before we got to the school, she moved towards me and hugged me “Bye Nicolas see you this afternoon.” “Bye sweet pea have a good day.” I was taken so off guard with the sweet gesture. “You to” she said. Geoffrey stopped; I looked out of the window I had to see if there where mean girls standing outside not that I would know what mean girls look like but in any case. When Geoffrey opens the door for her, Nikki got out and gave me a little wave. Then she walked into the building. We didn’t drive away until I saw her entering the building.

When Geoffrey got back in the car, I asked him “Could you hear anything?” “Yes, those girls where definitely the mean girls.” “Why what did they say?” “They were going on about Nikki getting out of a limousine and then one girl said it couldn’t be Nikki because her mother was poor.” “Jeez they are mean, well we show them at the father daughter dance, my girls are not poor anymore.” “Your girls Nicolas? Does this mean you’ve made a decision regarding Nicol?” “No not yet but I did make a promise I will look after them from this day forward so they won’t be poor anymore I’ll make damn sure about that.” “I’m happy to hear that Nicolas but don’t give Nicol or Nikki false hope, okay?” “Okay.” Was fucking Nicol senseless every night false hope that was the question, right? Or where we mature enough to differ the two from each other?

When we got to the office Jason was in my office immediately with documents I needed to sign and new contracts that was coming in. Needless to say, I had a very productive morning. The afternoon I wanted to see my attorney because according to Jason that was the only time I had. So, after lunch my attorney walked into my office also and old Uni friend of mine. But he didn’t know Nicol he knew of the aftermath of Nicol but not her. So, I wasn’t so sure his going to be happy with what I wanted to do. When he walked in, he walked towards me and shook my hand “Nicolas how are you, had a nice holiday?” “Hi Luther, I won’t say I was on holiday.” “Then were where you?” “At home.” “Come on out with it who is the lucky women that had you for a whole week, don’t they last a night?” “I think you should take a seat for what I’m about to tell you.” “Fuck just don’t tell me you killed someone?” “No nothing that serious.” “Now get on with it.” “You want a drink?” I was stalling because I knew he was going to freak out. “Stop fucking stalling what is going on? Why do you need me?” “Okay let me start at the beginning.” “Just fucking start.” “You remember the girl that broke my heart in Uni?” “Fuck yes how can any of us forget you where a wreck.” “Well, she ….” “Don’t tell me she’s back in your life?” “She’s back in my life.” “Fuck Nicolas.” He got up and started to walk up and down. “Fuck Fuck Fuck.” “Can you calm down and listen to me.” “You were spending a whole week with her?” He said the HER like he was disgusted. “It’s not that simple Luther. And yes, I spend the week with her as well as my daughter.” “Wait what? You have a daughter?” “Yes, I do, she is the reason why Nicol left me.” “That is fucking bull shit, we are going to sue her for custody if that is what you want, fuck that bitch she left you because she was pregnant?” I didn’t like the way Luther was talking about Nicol I wanted to stop him but I also understood why he talked like that. I was in a bind I didn’t like it but what can I do?

“Luther, you need me to explain and you need me to finish talking before you jump in. I will also appreciate if you don’t call my daughters mother a bitch.” “What the fuck Nicolas, she got you in her grip again, fuck man it was only a week, how did she get that right, is her pussy made of fucking gold or something?” I couldn’t believe what he just said I had to keep myself calm because I was on the verge of jumping up and fucking hitting my friend.
