POV
I lean into him and whisper in his ear...
"What did you tell him?" I ask him...
His eyes darken and he takes a deep breath...
"Oh it was nothing... Don't worry about it..." He tries to play it off cool which adds to my fear of it being something big...
I nod thinking in the back of my mind I need to make an excuse to go to the restroom to use Google translate... before I completely forget what he said...
"So how long you staying tonight Nick?" The guy raven black haired guy with the five o clock shadow sitting across from us asks
"Not long... My brother and Sister in law wants me home before 10 p.m" He says nonchalantly... I'm assuming they don't know about Micah if his not bringing him up...
"I still can't believe they let you stay with them after the last time, with you bringing woman home with you every night" The other guy with blonde curly says
Nikolai stiffens next to me like he didn't want me hearing that, he shakes his head...
"I don't do that s**t no more" he says.
Okay that's my cue leave
"I'm sorry I need to use the restroom..." I whisper into Nikolai's ear
He looks at me for a couple of seconds like he doesn't want me to leave but he nods anyway for me to leave...
I get up and walk towards the female restroom... once I get inside I take my phone out... I then go to the google app, I press on the mike thing. and I say what the hell I can remember...
Something Questo no Questa e yeah that sounds right... My name then lo no La mia ragazza yeah that's it... Then I say it...
"Questa è Madison, la mia ragazza"
The automated lady says...
"This is Madison my girlfriend"
The f**k??? Girlfriend??? I met him today how the hell? did I say it wrong??? OMG...
Did I say it wrong???
Two women walked in the restroom. Breaking me away from my erratic thoughts... I was freaking out...
They were talking about makeup and a hot guy standing outside the woman's restroom... I washed my hands... Not bothering to listen to anymore... I walked out and my breathed hitched Nikolai was outside the damn woman's restroom... I stood still, you could hear the Love not war by Jason Derulo playing in the background it wasn't loud, because I could hear my heartbeat beating like crazy...
"I was worried about you, you took a while so I came to check on you..." He said
"Or you came to see if any guys were flirting with your girlfriend?" I said sarcastically
He gasped, then the realisation hit him, I knew, I knew exactly what he said... He went to reply but I stopped him
"I don't like you introducing me as your girlfriend Nikolai, I am not dumb enough to fall for a guy who has slept with all the woman in Los Angeles..." I said
His hands went in the air. He was getting frantic, he ran his fingers through his hair and I saw the tattoo under his left arm, it had and eye and something that looked like a math equation... On his right arm he had Micah's name and something in Italian...
"Cazzo, certo, la colpa è mia, a che cazzo stavo pensando"
[f**k of course, I'm to blame, what the f**k was I thinking]
He started frantically speaking in Italian I could barely keep up... I pissed him off...
"Nikolai..." I whisper
It's like he couldn't hear me because he conitued his rants...
"Nikolai!" I shouted...
And I finally got his attention...
He looked at me confused...
"What the fudge is wrong with you?" I ask
"I don't know... I like you, but the way I like other woman... This is so much more s****l and I hate feeling this way... The way he was eye-f*****g you made me want to pull his f*****g eyes out and shove it up his ass"
My breath hitched and cursed myself for finding his violence attractive... I'm a preschool teacher... I'm supposed to hate violence but what came out of his mouth made me wet between my legs... What the hell is wrong with me???
I know it had all to do with him being a s*x God and God's favourite child... I mean look at him, his eyes, arms, shoulders everything about this man was perfect except him being interested in one girl and it only being one girl...
"Maddison, say something tell me you feel something for me as well?"
I look at this man...
"Don't be ridiculous you couldn't be with one woman Eben if you tried, woman are just toys you throw away after you done with them"
"You don't know what the hell you talking about!" He warned me his jaw was clenched and his eyes darkened daring me to say something
"What about Micah's mother? You dump her once you were done with her? Micah was just accident..."
He punched the wall behind me
"Micah's mother is so great right? The f*****g woman broke my son my son can't f*****g sleep at night without having a nightmare... The f*****g woman got pregnant and left without a word, and it's all my fault I loved Bella, but she loved money more... I didn't even know Micah existed until two years ago and I only saw my son for the first time a couple of months ago... So you dare make me the damn bad guy... And never say my son who I would give the world to if he asked me to, is an accident his the greatest thing that has ever happened to me so go f**k yourself being so damn perfect should be so f*****g amazing, you've been his teacher for what three months and you haven't done anything but judge my son... You don't have to expect Micah back in your class... I'll have him transfered to another class with a teacher who actually cares about his well being and doesn't teach kids to judge others..." With that Nikolai left...
Leaving me cursing myself...
Ieaned against the wall behind me dropping to the floor... His 100% right though I judged him, I didn't know what happened yet I assumed that it was his fault. I believed he treated woman like toys, I didn't know what happened with Micah yet all the signs were there, his distant, he doesn't communicate with the other students, he never smiles, he's smart but doesn't like being the center of attention, I took a damn psychology class before teaching, but I was so damn caught up with my break up with Dustin to even catch on with one my students maybe I am a bad teacher...
I started balling my eyes out... I wiped my tears off... I got up and run out of the club... I caught a cab, I needed to head home, I knew I messed. Nikolai was a good guy, I was so used to assholes I just assumed Nikolai was one of them, he seemed like one of them I only be blamed for that... Dustin messed so badly with my brain that I could never trust another man again...
That Bella broke Nikolai's heart and turned him into a manwhore, made him a playboy and tonight I was being her... What about I said and was any better that what she did...
What about Micah I judge the kid and thought that his dad screwed him up... I had always paid special attention to Micah because he came into my class later than the rest of the class so he was behind and I asummed the boy couldn't speak English...
"Miss... We've arrived" The cab driver said... I gave him a 100 dollar bill and got out...
"Keep the change... I'm sorry for crying in your cab"
"Are you going to be okay miss?"
I smiled and nodded, thinking how sweet and sincere he looked... The older man was exactly what Nikolai was until I misjudged him...
I turned to go into my apartment when I saw the asshole (Dustin) I was in no mood to speak to him... It's like my night was going from bad to worse...
"Maddison" Dustin said raking his eyes over my dress which was barely covering anything
"Move!" I screamed louder than needed
I was upset and the last person I wanted to breakdown in front of was Dustin I wouldn't give this bastard the satisfaction... He cheated and blamed me for it...
"Maddie look I know what I did was wrong, but baby girl I'm sorry please forgive me... We could move on... Have a happy life together"
"I'm not interested in anything with you please leave..."
"Baby girl crying over me every night isn't worth it..."
"You think these tears are for you? These tears because I just f****d up my one chance to be with an amazing guy... It had nothing to do with you... I never even cried when we broke up Dustin!" I shouted at him hitting his chest...
But all I felt was my heart crushing... I had f****d up... I knew it but saying it out loud hurt so much more... I took my opportunity to go into my apartment while he was distracted... I locked my door made my way to my room locking it as well... I took off the dress and put on a pj pants laying on the floor and a huge top I stollen from my dad's things after his death...
I looked around my room, I had no one, my brother stayed with my grandmother and they were far away from me... I had no one... I was alone...
I should totally apologize to Nikolai even if he never forgives me I should at least apologize for the way I treated him... I was so wrong, so far off the mark it was crazy... The guy was not what I was thinking he was a good guy, who had his heart broken by a woman who ran away with his son for money...

There were a couple pictures of the family there was a picture with them on the red carpet from two years ago, Nikolai was on the red carpet with his brother and sister in law and another woman I went into the picture and the woman's name was Isabella Rossellini... That caught my eye... He said the woman's name was Bella... She was gorgeous, the pink hair tied up and it looked good... She had a face of a Goddess... No wonder he loved her...
I look like a pig wrapped in a blanket... So the plan is to call in sick Monday and go to Startlight Entertainment to apologise no matter what I should apologise to him no matter how he treats me... He deserves an apology...
What the hell I'm gonna say is beyond me... Maybe I apologize for assuming you were a lying cheating bastard who only wanted to get into my pants... My past with Dustin was clouding my judgment, Dustin was your boy next door type of playboy, he had slept around a lot before we started dating he assured me he had stopped the minute we started dating and became exclusive, but I assumed that wasn't true... I know in the bottom of my heart Nikolai wasn't like Dustin, I could tell Nikolai was being sincere, and he came across as a straight forward guy no walking around the bush type of guy, yet I let my past dictate my future if Nikolai actually had feelings for me I had just missed an opportunity with him, which was all the more reason to fix things even if he never wanted to see me again as long as I apologized for being a total i***t tonight... I kinda want him to get into my pants. And rip off my underwear with his teeth... Okay maybe I should not be having s*x fantasies about Nikolai before I've apologized to him for being an asshat tonight ... One picture caught my eye again it was dated six months ago... There was a picture of him with a little girl she looked around two years old... She was hugging him for dear life and he was laughing with her she looked happy, Aurora Martelli was standing next to him with her husband and he was kissing the top of her head... It was a picture taken at home because its on Nikolai's i********: the caption was Happy Birthday Princess Lisa... Lots of Love Niki ❤️
It was the cutest thing I've ever seen I think I've just fallen in love with Nikolai... The man looks good and he makes cute babies that's for sure...
