Protecting Nicole

Chapter 1

Nicole

THE LAST THING ANY woman wants to do while in her boyfriend’s house is find his secret room full of things practically idolizing her mother. At first I didn’t know what to think as I stood inside the pretty large closet of posters, paintings, t-shirts, and fan collections of things relating to my mom. My eyes scanned the room several times to make sure it was all real, because goodness knows that I didn’t want it to be. I really, really didn’t want my boyfriend to have a life size cardboard cutout of my mom holding a Grammy and smiling happily at me.

Nicole...Nicole? Where’d you disappear to? I froze when I heard Remy’s voice and quickly backed out of the room and shut the door. He rounded the corner into the hallway and stopped when he saw me, a curious smile on his face. I used to think Remy was a great guy, handsome, great job, had his life together... But you never seem to know a person until you find a closet that is full of things making them a celebrity’s super fan. Remy pointed to the closet and that’s when I saw his smile start to disappear as nervousness crept into his eyes.

Was that closet...unlocked? he asked me slowly and I simply nodded and then swung open the door.

I really need you to start explaining Remy, I said hoarsely and he actually had the nerve to look contrite as he slowly walked towards me.

"So...I look up to your mom a little bit, but she’s an incredible woman. To be a successful singer, producer, and actress...I mean you know more than anyone that she has a pretty wide variety of fans," he said, his light blue eyes were no longer contrite, but only slightly embarrassed that I found his shrine to my mother.

Can you tell me right now if you only came into this relationship to try and get close to my mom? I asked him and his expression sobered, I didn’t see outrage or incredulity in his gaze at my insinuation. I saw a flash of guilt and that was all I needed to see. You fucking jackass. You didn’t think I would eventually find out about this? This is sick! I yelled at him, my shock having completely dissolved at that point and anger quickly boiling into fury in my chest. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t found out about it sooner! I was equally upset with myself for falling for Remy and his obvious ploy to try and get close to his idol apparently.

Nicole, just wait a second. Let’s calm down a little and talk about this. I really do love you, he said pleadingly, but I saw through his crap, his ticket to the famous Ronnie James was slipping away from him and he’d probably say anything to get me to stay.

Don’t even bother Remy, it’s over, I said harshly and then stormed off to his room to pack whatever stuff I left at his place. I was beyond furious and more at my own stupidity, which made me feel even worse. Was I really that naïve to believe that not everyone wanted to be close to me just to get to mom? Remy had done a standup job in fooling me. I thought he was real, I thought he saw the real me and loved me...not the fact that I was Ronnie James’s daughter.

Nicole, c’mon let’s talk about this. You’re not leaving, this isn’t over... Remy said as he walked into
