How To Love: An Omeeka Story

Chapter 17

Meek
We were sitting on the couch holding hands until Nicki looked up at me.
"I think we shouldn't tell Papi just yet maybe when I'm out of the danger zone" Nicki said and I stared at her confused.
"Danger zone?" I asked.
"When miscarriage is most likely to happen" she said
"Oh aight. Well we done so let's get up out of here" I said and got Nicki off the couch and headed out the studio.
"Bye y'all" we both said to the Chasers and the Dj.
"Meek! Meet us at the the warehouse at 7:45pm" Pmon yelled. Then I looked at Nicki who was nodding her head giving me the okay.
"Aight man" I said then we left and got in the car.
"What you gotta do at the warehouse?" Nicki asked putting on her seat belt.
" I don't even know myself that was just random" I said and she nodded as I started the engine.
(At home)
Nicki
"Wassup y'all" I said to Papi and Sherika who's eyes were glued to the game and fingers moving at the speed of light on the controllers. I didn't even get a hi back.
"Okayyyyy. I see how it is. Sorry for interrupting y'all" I said all sassy and headed upstairs.
"Meek" I said and he didn't answer after a couple seconds because he was on his phone.
"Yeah wassup baby" he said and put his phone down.
"How long you gonna be out" I asked
"Uh until like... 12 or 1 o'clock" he said
"Really Meek?! Your really gonna leave your girlfriend here by herself until 1... WAIT better yet your going to leave your girlfriend, son AND your unborn child here" I said and he looked at me like I was crazy.
"Well since you put it all like that. I'll try to be home at 10 or after is that good enough?" He said calmly.
"I prefer 8 or 8:30 at the latest buuutttt... yeah that's good." I said and he walked over to me and kissed my head.
"Don't tell me they still on that damn game" Meek said heading downstairs
"I'm hungryyyy and I don't feel like cooking" I said and Meek looked at me and sighed.
"Okay what do you want I'll go to pick it up" he said and I smiled showing my dimples.
"Ummm...I want Jamaican food. I want Jamaican styled curry chicken" I said
"Where the hell can I find some Jamaican food on the rich people part of Atlanta where we live." He said and I don't know why my feelings got so hurt.
"You don't have to get it. Because now your mad at me." I said and half ran and half walked upstairs. Five minutes after Meek came for me and I was laying down sideways hugging my legs.
"Uh. You okay?" He asked and I turned to him.
"yeah" I said dryly.
"I found a place where they have what you want it's an hour away but I'll go and get it for you" he said and I got up.
"thank you baby" I said and hugged him.
"Your welcome. I don't want you starving my daughter anyways. Man, if you wasn't pregnant I wouldn't be doing this" he said and I hit him in the chest.
"Hold up. How you know it's a girl." I said and he srugged.
" I honestly want a girl because I already have a boy" he said
" I want a mini me" I said and we laughed.
"Oh hell no a mini you. Man Imma be broke by the time she thirteen." He said and I laughed and we went downstairs. I followed Meek to the garage and saw him getting in my new white Range Rover he got me for my birthday.
"You ain't driving my car playboy." I said in my thick New York accent.
"Yo seats more comfortable. If you want me to get your food your gonna let me drive it." He said and I let him go then went back in the house.
"Sherika! You really gotta get off that game" I said and she didn't move.
"I need someone to talk to" I said and she paused the game and told Papi he could play by himself. Then we walked down to our theater room.
"What's did Meek say when you told him?" Sherika said.
"Nothing. He took it better than I expected. He's happy and he wants a girl" I said and Sherika was looking at with wide eyes.
"What about your mom Onika." She said and I instantly panicked.
"I don't know what to tell her she's met Meek and Papi last month when I went to New York to do a photo shoot." I said.
"But what's the worst that could happen? I know mom she wouldn't be mad." Sherika said and that comforted me.
"Where's Meek?" She asked
"He went to get me some Jamaican food." I said
" there's no Jamaican restaurants around here there's only one- You did not make that man drive an hour to get you some food!" She said and I started to laugh.
"Well if you wasn't on that damn game you coulda made me something" I said
"Well your son had m-" Sherika tried to say but I cut her off.
"Don't you blame nothing on no four year old" I said and I started laughing while Sherika gave me the side eye.
(7:00)
Meek
"Hey baby I got your food" I said walking in the room and noticed that she was sleep. I have no time for this I have to get going.
"Wake up Nic" I said softly shaking her arm.
"Oh yay you got the food."she said sitting up.
"Alright. Well I gotta get going." I said and she pouted.
"I wanted to spend time with you though." She said poking out her lip.
"I'll be back babe." I said and kissed her pouty lip.
"Okay I love you."she said
"I love you too." I said then headed out.
(At the warehouse)
Tak- Meek my main mans you here on time.
He said looking at his watch and everyone started to laugh.
Meek- okay what's up why did I get called in? I asked
Pmon- you know them niggas who was following y'all?
Meek- yeah what about them? I asked worried
Pmon- They tryna get what we got. They coming back for us. So for y'all to be safe take Nicki and Papi out of state.
Meek- damn! I yelled and got up and started pacing.
Omelly- we have to kill them niggas.
Then we heard the door bust open
???- So y'all thought you had us. They said and we all pulled out our guns.
BANG!
