A Chicago Love Story

A Chicago Love Story (Part 21)

When I woke up the next morning, Von was next to me asleep. I got up and went into Mani's room but she wasn't there so I walked downstairs and seen Nique asleep on the couch. It was around 8am so I figured Momma and Daddy had already went to work. I sat down at the table and got on my phone to order some breakfast. A car pulled up outside and then I heard laughs and whispers outside. I peeked out the window and it was Mani and Quan. She opened the door and said "Oh... uh when did you get up Lai Lai?" Me: "A few minutes ago. Where you been at?" Mani: "Jus hangin out wit Quan yk... chillin. Why?" Me: "Nique mad at you🤣" Mani: "For what?" Me: "Imma let him tell you." Mani: "Girl bye I'm not worried bout him." Me: "Anywhooo what yall been up to?" Quan: "Shidd." Mani: "We was jus up all night til bout 2am den I went to sleep." Quan: "I see they gotchu on house arrest 😂" Me: "Yea." Quan: "Well I gotta go to work soon. Imma see you later on." He kissed Mani on the cheek and walked back out. Mani: "What's Nique mad for?" Me: "I told you I'm not gon tell you 😭" Mani: "Fine." She walked over to Nique and shook his shoulder. Mani: "Dominique." Nique: "What yo? Why you sayin my government name like dat?" He rolled over and put a pillow over his head. Mani: "Get up." Nique: "For what?" Mani: "Uh cus it's past 2pm." Nique: "No tf it's not it's like 8am and even if it was past 2, I still wouldn't get up." Mani: "Bro just get up I needa talk to you." Nique: "Nah shordy I need to talk to YOU." Mani: "Wym?" Nique sat up and stared at Mani. Nique: "Where tf was you at last night?" Mani: "Out with Quan... why?" Nique: "What did y'all do?" Mani: "We was chillin." Nique: "Y'all bet not be fuckin dawg." Mani: "Why tf not?" Nique: "Did you really jus ask me that? Nigga are you dumb?" Mani: "I'm confused." Nique: "Ion want yall fuckin." Mani: "Nigga why are you in my business? I'm grown, you are not my dad and just because you're my older brother, don't mean you get to act like this. I don't be in yo business about what dirty hoes you be fuckin, so stay out my business when it come to me bein wit somebody." Nique: "Imani how tf do you not see that he jus want you for pussy dawg?" Mani: "Da fuck is you talking about?" Nique: "He only want pussy bro. Watch out for that cus I guarantee you, after you give him a lil bit of coochie, he gon start acting real funny." Mani: "No...If that was the case, why would Von pmo wit em?" Nique: "Ion fuckin kno. Maybe he ain't know." Mani: "Or maybe Quan ain't like that 😒" Nique: "Man whatever that's on you. I tried to tell you." Mani: "Nigga I am a grown ass woman. I can do whatever tf I want to. If I wanna do whatever wit him, that's what imma do! If he up nd leave afterwards that's gon be ok too cus imma always have a way to make a nigga wish he ain't meet me." Nique: "Ight Mani. Do you sis, I ain worried bout it. I'm not gon argue witchu." He laid back down and rolled over. Mani: "Why tf would you even speak on it?" Nique ignored her and I started laughing. Mani: "Tf is funny?" Me: "Girl relax.

You jus worried about who I'm wit." Nique: "Yea cus I wanna see you happy. Yo ass be fallin in love wit niggas who show you the slightest bit of attention and that's why you be getting played bro. You're manipulative, an easy target for niggas. I ain't tryna hurt yo feelings or nun Mani, I'm really tryna look out for you." Mani: "I'm not manipulative..." Nique: "You are tho." She looked at me and I nodded. Mani: "Oh well. That's jus me. I got a big heart." Me: "Issa difference between havin a big heart nd jus lettin folks walk all over you."
