Chapter 85

Nicol

I couldn’t believe Nicolas told me I’m sleeping with him tonight not we are going to have sex; no, you are sleeping with me tonight. When I turn around to walk back to my seat at the kitchen table I saw how Nikki was looking at me, I was not going to ask her what, just maybe she heard him. So, I took my coffee and took a sip. “Dad gave you a kiss.” “He did.” I said smiling. “Does that mean you are boyfriend and girlfriend?” “Well, the papers did say I was his girlfriend angel.” “Yes, but wasn’t that just for the people?” Fuck this girl was clever. “No Nikki we are trying to find our way back to each other which means we start with being boyfriend and girlfriend but don’t get to excited okay?” “Okay.” But I could see she was already excited. I finish my coffee and Nikki hers when we got up and went to her room to look for a disguise for her. I don’t know how the disguise is going to work if Geoffrey is driving us, but I don’t want to upset Nicolas so I won’t go with the subway.

Nikki got some ridicules outfit out of her closet. “Angel you should at least still look decent I mean we are going to visit your dad at his office.” It was still weird saying ‘Your dad’. She went back and came back with her nice jeans and a floral shirt with her pink jacket. “That would look beautiful, I’ll get you a wig out of my closet and some big sunglasses.” She jumped up and down, “Oh goodie.” I’m sure people will still recognize us but it would be fun for her. As I walked to my room, I notice Nikki was walking with me “I’ll bring it to you.” “No mom I’m going to decide what you are wearing.” “Why? I’m going to wear the same as you, a jean and a shirt with my jacket.” “No, we are going to dad’s office you need to look nice.” “Don’t I look nice in my jeans?” “You do but you need to look sexy.” Sexy what the fuck? I left it I didn’t want to make an issue out of anything. She walked into my closet and came out with my knitted grey dress with my black boots and my black long jacket. “I think you should wear this.” “Oh, you do, do you?” “Yes.” “Now finish up mom we need to go I’m hungry.” She left my room leaving me to look at her as she left. I guess my outfit was picked for me.

While Nikki was getting ready, I showered did my make-up, I maybe put more effort into my make-up than normal. Did my hair grab the two wigs and two oversize sunglasses and went looking for Nikki. She was parading in front of the mirror, ‘Oh my God she’s going to be difficult the older she gets’ was the only thought I had as I watched her looking at herself in the mirror. “I brought the wigs.” Both of them was brown long hair. I helped Nikki with hers then I did mine. It took a lot to get my hair into that wig, at least it was still winter and we won’t get to warm. We stood next to each other and both of us started laughing. “You wanna put your glasses on?” I asked her as I gave her the sunglasses. She took them from me and put them on. “You look totally different.” I told her. She did a bit but you could still see it’s Nikki with those blue eyes of hers it’s difficult not to see her dad in her. “Mom, you look totally different.” She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the kitchen she wanted to see what Isabella’s reaction was going to be. “Isabella!” She called as we stood at the entrance of the kitchen. I knew Isabella was a sport and would give Nikki the reaction she wanted. “Oh my God who is in our house?” Isabella said while clutching her chest. Nikki pulled of her glasses, “It’s only us Isabella.” “You gave me such a fright.” “You think people will recognize us?” Nikki asked Isabella. “No, I don’t think they will.” Nikki heard a commotion at the door and ran to the front door standing there waiting for Geoffrey to come in. As Geoffrey walked in, he grabbed his chest when he saw Nikki and screamed “Isabella we have strangers in the house.” Nikki found it very entertaining. She pulled her glasses off, “It’s just mom and me Geoffrey.” “I didn’t recognize you.” Geoffrey said winking at me. “Good that means mom and I can go for breakfast without anyone taking our picture.” “I thought you like it when the paparazzi takes your pictures?” I teased her. “Not the whole time.” “Oh okay.” “Let’s go in the limousine then they can’t look in.” Geoffrey suggested. “Okay.” Nikki said. “You go say bye to Isabella.” She ran to the kitchen giving me time to speak to Geoffrey. “Is there still a lot of them?” “Not as many as yesterday but yes there are a few, and we drove past the school there was a few there as well.” “When are we going to be old news?” “Give it a week or so Nicol, I mean the news only came out yesterday, give the people time to latch onto something else.” “I know.” Nikki came running back out of the kitchen with an apple in her hand. “And that?” “Isabella said I should eat the apple so long.” “Okay angel let’s go.”

We got in the limousine and as we drove out some of the paparazzi was leaning towards the car to see who was in it but as soon as they saw the dark hair I suppose they backed away. “Looks like your disguises are working Nikki.” Geoffrey told her. “Where to?” “Time Square please Geoffrey.” There we can blend into all the people and no one will be looking for us there not on a school day.
