Chapter 65
Nicol
When I got home Nikki was running towards me, I wanted to tell her to go slower, she still had stiches but I was just too happy she wasn’t angry with me anymore. “Mom guess what?” She said when she got to me. “Hello Nikki.” “Hi mom guess what?” “What?” “Nicolas went with Geoffrey to drop me at school and came with to fetch me.” “That’s nice of him.” Nicolas came walking out of the kitchen “Hi Nicol.” “Hi Nicolas.” “Sweet Pea let mom sit before you tell her all your news.” “Fine, but you not going to shower you first going to listen okay mom?” “Yes fine.” I walked with them to the kitchen table, clearly it was Nikki’s favorite place to sit and eat, I must agree with her the dinning room just feels too formal. “Hi Nicol” “Hi Isabella.” Isabella put a cup of tea in front of me and I could just relax for the first time today.
Nicolas was looking at me funny like he knew I was upset but was hiding it from Nikki. Or he is waiting for me to say something. “Okay angel what happened? Did the mean girls see you get out of the limousine?” “Oh yes, they were standing in the front of the school like always, making remarks on everyone that walked in. When I got out of the limousine they couldn’t believe it. In fact, Zoe said ‘Your mother probable borrowed the car from one of the doctors.” “Oh, my and what did you say?” She looks at Nicolas and then back at me, Nicolas was smiling from ear to ear clearly, he knows what she said. “I said it’s my dad’s car.” “Oh, really you did?” “I did, then Zoe said but your dad is dead and I told her no his not, it was a misunderstanding then she wanted to argue with me and tell me what kind of misunderstanding is it and then ….” Nikki couldn’t stop talking she was rambling on as she was going on “Take a breath Nikki.” “Sorry it was just, they didn’t stop the whole day and then I told her fine this afternoon when my dad comes to pick me up you can ask him, I didn’t even know if Nicolas was going to come or not, but mom he did. I walked to the car and asked Nicolas if he could please explain to them that he was in fact my dad.” I couldn’t believe my ears; she really did that. To say I was shock was an understatement. “What happened then?” “Nicolas actually got out and then he called me sweet pea in front of them, I thought I would be embarrassed but to see their faces, mom it was priceless. Nicolas told them he was indeed my father and that he will be dropping me at school every day and he will be at the father daughter dance.” “What did Zoe say to that?” I was getting just as excited for Nikki as she was. “Zoe was so stunned she didn’t know what to say, it helps that Zoe thinks Nicolas is hot.” “Oh, Zoe think I’m hot?” Nicolas teased her. “Don’t let it go to your head Nicolas.” She teased him. “Oh, my I wouldn’t dare.” I had to smile at him, yes, I was upset with him but the way he let her tell the story and let her talk but also taking charge and letting her give me time to sit down first, he was a natural, I really didn’t think he would be.
Nicolas
When we got to the school to pick Nikki up, she was standing outside with the mean girls as she describes them, I remember them from this morning. I looked like they where having a deep discussion and Nikki was the one that was talking the most and this one girl was chirping her back the whole time. I knew I should stay in the car and just wait for her to come to me but I was itching to get out. When Geoffrey got out of the limousine to get Nikki, I could hear her asked him “Can I have a minute Geoffrey please?” Geoffrey was taken off guard. “Yes, off course.” He said but she walked to the door open it and when she saw me, she was smiling from ear to ear. “Nicolas thank goodness you came.” “What’s wrong?” “Can you please come and explain to Zoe that you are my dad; she doesn’t believe me.” I couldn’t believe she was telling people I was her dad I was over the moon. “Off course I will.” Geoffrey opens the door for me giving the girls the whole show. I knew girls found me attractive I just didn’t know what kind of effect I will have on younger girls.
I got out of the limousine and button my suit jacket as I walked towards Nikki. I could see this one girl eyeing me, clearly, I had the same effect on young girls which was disturbing. When I stood next to Nikki, I touched her shoulder and asked her “What is wrong sweet pea?” I didn’t know if I should say it but when I saw the girl’s reactions, I knew I did the right thing. “They won’t believe you are my dad.” “Who won’t believe you sweet pea?” “Zoe don’t believe me.” “I take it you are Zoe I looked at the girl that was giving me the eye.” “Yes, I’m Zoe” she said as she pushed the other girls out of the way. Clearly, she was the alpha. “Well Zoe I’m happy to meet you my name is Nicolas and yes I’m Nikki’s dad, I’ll be bringing her to school every day and I’ll be at the father daughter dance with her on Friday.” Zoe didn’t say a word she just looked at me. My work here was done I thought as I took Nikki’s bag from her and walked to the limousine. I opened the door for her and she jumped in with a huge smile on her face when I got in the limousine I asked her, “Was that okay.” She jumped into my arms. “Thank you thank you thank you.” “My pleasure sweet pea.”
When Nicol came home off course, she had to get the whole explanation of what happened. I could see Nicol was happy for Nikki but I knew her well I could also see she wasn’t very happy, which means the money was paid into her account clearly. I’ll take the punishment later when Nikki goes to bed but for now we are going to share in our child’s joy.
