Sinner Like Me

He's up to something

Nicolette's POV

My father went out of town last week to follow a lead in regards to the drug lord case that he was working on. He came back the next day and said that he had a lead and hopefully it would all be over soon. I do not care about the drug lord case. I just want Dalton back home with me. I have hardly left my apartment unless I am with daddy but that's it. I am terrified that if I leave home one of three things could potentially happen to me. One is that I would be kidnapped and used against my father in just about anything. Two is that I would run into Dalton but he wouldn't be alone. He would have another female hanging off of his arm. That is something I don't think that I could handle regardless of us or our status. Thirdly is that Juan would find me and take me to wherever Dalton is and harm either one of us. So to not only protect myself and those I love, I have decided that it is best that I stay in my apartment where I am safe and sound too.

I wish I knew where I could find Dalton because I am miserable without him in my life. I want to know why he had to leave, why he was forced into leaving me without a trace of anything. Daddy said that Dalton called the station and said he's safe and he wants me to know that he loves me. He didn't say it like that. He said tell her 143. I knew immediately what he was saying to me. I smiled because I love him too. As I'm down in the lobby of my apartment building checking my mail, I hear the lobby door open and close. I glance and see Juan walking inside. What in the world does he want and how the fuck does he know this is where I live at? I'm wondering if before she got locked up in prison, if Amira knew where I was at? These are all questions that nobody has the answers too. I ignore Juan and head towards the stairs. I have nothing I care to ever say to this inconsiderate man who is now stalking the living crap out of me. It's getting to be a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

~Juan~ Ignoring me?

~Nicolette~ I have absolutely nothing to ever say to you. Please quit stalking me. I don't want you, I don't like you and to be honest with you, leave me alone. You are beginning to piss me off.

~Juan~ Have you spoke to your boyfriend, Dalton lately?

~Nicolette~ Now you know damn well I haven't. I don't know what the fuck you did to make him leave me (I turn my phone on to record and send to daddy) because the man I love wouldn't leave me without an explanation to as why? I know it has to deal with you and Amira and when I find out neither of you two will ever see the light of day again. Got it? Now leave my fucking building and do not ever show your face around here again. Understand me?

~Juan~ You are a lot of talk of someone whose completely sure of everything aren't you? I have my cousin in my pocket. I will never be in jail! Perks of having the mayor in office and in my back pocket.

I hear the lobby door open again and in my favor Juan is too busy yelling at me. I see daddy and several of his deputies with him.

~Nicolette~ You are so busted. Turn around.

He sees my father with his deputies standing behind him. He looks at me.

~Juan~ How?

~Nicolette~ It's called recording this conversation and since it's a one party consent state, I don't need your permission to record this. You openly admitted to bribing the mayor and driving Dalton out to expand your piece of shit drug operation. Daddy I want a restraining order against him as well as Amira please?

~Sheriff~ Juan you are under arrest. Anything you say can and will be used against you on the court of law. You have the right to a attorney.....

~Juan~ I know the law. I'll be out sooner than y'all think. I'll be making Dalton pay. I just have to locate him.

The deputies take Juan to the car. Daddy notifies Juan's lawyer about the arrest and all the evidence and she states that she isn't representing him anymore. This is pure gold. Daddy walks up to me and gives me a big hug.

~Sheriff~ I am going to get him booked and charged. I will be back quickly, okay?

~Nicolette~ Does this mean if you speak to Dalton does this mean he gets to come home soon?

~Sheriff~ It does. I will do what I can to find where he is. Stay upstairs until further notice. I need to get the order signed off on asap.

I head upstairs to my apartment. I hope that I get to see Dalton soon. I need cuddles and to be locked away with him for the week. I haven't slept well since he left. Let's hope the mayor is locked up soon as well. This needs to end immediately! I am so upset with everyone who tried their damnedest to keep the two of us apart. They will not win in this fight. Dalton is mine and mine alone. We will be together again.

Sheriff's POV

I am so glad that my daughter was smart enough to call me as well as record the entire incident when Juan came into her apartment building. I don't know what he thought this was going to accomplish for him but he ultimately failed. When I get him booked and charged as well as being served with the orders, I can go and find where Dalton is. He called a couple days ago and was moving to a new hotel room because Juan called and knew where he was located. He stated that he was only doing this because he doesn't want anything to happen to Nicolette. I can see this man marrying my daughter. Before I was against them even being friends but now I see what my daughter sees in him. He is definitely who she wants in life. Time to reunite them again.
