Chapter 43: Keep Me Watching

Nicki’s P.O.V.

 “You got accepted and you didn’t tell me?” I glared at him when he first opened the door. I was getting to the bottom of this because why wouldn’t he want to go to one of the best performing arts colleges in the world? He better have a great excuse because I’m not buying any of his bullshit. He was talking about how this was his dream school and how much he loved Paris.

“How’d you find out?” He rubbed his hand over his face. How did you find out; that all he has to say to me? He’s making me annoyed and mad the longer he stalls with his answer. I want the truth and that’s the only way that I’m gonna leave.

“Kolbie found it in the trash,” I locked eyes with him. He opened the door wider so I could come in. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I scrunched up my face. How could he lie about something as big as that? Why would he lie in general?

“Cause I’m not going,” he walked over to the stairs and sat. I went and sat beside him. He can’t just refuse to go to the school without a good reason; just two weeks ago he loved that school. What changed between now and two weeks ago?

“Why? This is a huge opportunity for you,” I truly looked confused. Why won’t he just tell me the truth for once? What is he hiding that’s so bad where he can’t tell me?

“I can’t tell you that,” he shook his head. What’s so big that he doesn’t want to go to the college of his dreams?

“I thought we told each other everything?” I gave him a hurt look. He turned and faced me as we stared at each other. It was silent for a minute because we were just observing each other’s emotions. “Daven,” I sighed.

“I know,” he looked away and got up. I know the reason now but he shouldn’t let that stand in the way of him going to Paris. That’s his dream and he shouldn’t ruin that.

“I’m gonna go,” I told before grabbing his hand to pull him into a hug. “You should really reconsider your decision. I’d love to go to the same school as you,” I whispered in my ear. I heard a throat clear and we pulled apart. I saw it was Jaymie and I grew mad. “Don’t tell me she’s back,” I said softly to Daven.

“She’s going home today,” he promised me. She needs to take her ass home because she doesn’t do anything but start drama and I’m so annoyed with her at this point.

“I’ll see you around Daven,” I pecked his cheek before leaving. As I closed the door, I heard Jaymie cursing him out. I’m not gonna lie and say that I didn’t laugh; that shit was funny.

  

Chimere’s P.O.V.

“Ha!” I laughed at a YouTube video. Blake was sleeping so I decided to go downstairs and watch videos. I love days where I can just lay back and relax.

“I can hear you all the way upstairs,” Blake complained when she came down. I didn’t think I was that loud but I guess my laugh is.

“I’m sorry baby,” I pecked her lips; I’ll never get tired of doing that.

“It’s fine but since I’m up, I might as well cook breakfast,” she smiled before kissing me again. She knew what she was doing and I smirked at her.

“If you’re gonna keep kissing me like that then you’re not gonna have time to make breakfast,” I mumbled against her lips. She straddled me and smirked. She is such a tease and it’s even worse because she doesn’t even know it.

“Is that a promise?” she whispered before kissing me again. I kissed her back passionately and just as my hands were traveling up her shirt, the doorbell rung.

“Fuck,” I groaned. Why are we always interrupted when things just get good? I’m gonna get rid of whoever is there. I’m so sexually frustrated that I might just kill whoever is there. No one comes over to my house unannounced except Shad and Aubrey but they have keys.

“It’s fine, we can finish later,” she pecked my lips before heading to the kitchen. I laughed before I went to open the door. When I saw who was there, my smile vanished.

“Mom,” my eyes went wide. What is she doing here? She’s supposed to be in Paris and right now was the absolute worse time for her to be here. Blake is gonna freak out.

“Hi sweetie,” she hugged me. I looked behind her and saw Vanessa mouthing sorry. Sorry my ass; she could have warned me. I would have told Blake to go to Nicki’s house today. I never planned on her actually meeting my mom. I never wanted to put her through that torture.

“Hi Mom,” I prepared myself. I haven’t seen my mom in years. She left me to go to Paris and left Drake’s Mom to practically raise me and Nessa. I let them in before stopping them from going into the kitchen.

“I have a guest so can you guys go get settled in before I introduce you to her,” I winced. I was not about to let Blake meet her without some type of warning or something.

“I see you sis, getting bitches from left to right,” she dapped me up. She’s a fool but she’s only a year under me so we’re close. She knows everything and she even knows about Blake.

“What happened to that boy I like?” Mom scrunched up her face. She always liked him but he needs help and she has yet to process that in her brain.

“Antonio hit me Mom and I told you this before,” I sighed. She never really cared about anything that happened to me in my past. She only liked Antonio because he was the only guy I ever dated. I wasn’t even into guys but I was into him. Then he completely changed and turned to drugs. He was even in a gang, I’m not sure if he is anymore but that was the final straw for me.

“Oh,” she said simply before going upstairs and Nessa went up after her. I walked into the kitchen and saw Blake with her headphones on. She was dancing and moving her ass like a pro. I smirked to myself before grabbing it.

“You scared me,” she laughed. Her smile is so beautiful but too bad that’s gonna vanish as soon as I tell her.

“Look I don’t know how to say this so I’m gonna just come out and say it. My mom and sister surprised me with a visit,” I explained. Her face drained of color quickly. “Blake?” I waved my hand in front of her.

“Call Nicki,” she mumbled before sitting on the floor.

Nicki’s P.O.V.

Mere called me and explained what happened. I got to her house quickly because I know how Blake gets. I walked in with my key and went into the kitchen and saw Blake on the floor with Mere trying to calm her down. I sat next to her and pulled her into me.

“She freaks out over meeting parents. Let’s just say we both have had some horrible experiences together,” I explained. Blake and I both were horrible when it came to meeting parents and I’m glad I never had to do that with Aubrey.

“My sister will love you,” Mere promised; see how she said sister but not mother. Everyone knows about Mere’s mother and Aubrey hates her. He couldn’t stand that woman so I knew that I wasn’t gonna like her.

“But your mom won’t! You’ve told me about her. She was supposed to be in Paris!” Blake exclaimed. How bad can she be? Everyone might hate her but they might just be over exaggerating everything.

“She was but I guess she came home early,” Mere sighed. She got up to stall her family as I helped Blake up. She took deep breaths while trying to get herself together.

“We’ll get through this together,” I grabbed the breakfast and finished cooking it for her. I heard someone come down and saw that it was Paris.

“Whose voices do I hear upstairs?” She asked.

“Mere’s mom and sister surprised her for a visit,” I told her.

“Oh god,” she looked at Blake who was calmer than before. I heard Mere come down with the voices and braced myself. I saw her sister who looked like a rocker version of Mere. Her mother looked very put together if you want to put that in the nice way. The honest truth is that she looks snobby and a flat out bitch but we can go with the nice way.

“Mom and Nessa, this is Nicki, Paris, and Blake,” she introduced us. Her mom eyed us but said nothing. I guess she was trying to figure out who Mere was dating.

“Which one are you smashing?” Nessa blurted out. I died laughing while Paris laughed with me; I think I’m gonna like her. “Okay judging by your reactions. You two laughed but you blushed. You must be the new hot girlfriend,” she said while pointing at Blake.

“Yes, Blakelynn is my girlfriend,” Mere confirmed while wrapping her arms around Blake. Blake blushed but remained quiet and I guess that was to contain her nerves.

“What can I call you?” I questioned Mere’s mother. She glanced at me like she didn’t even notice that I was there.

“Veronica,” she said simply. Okay lady, I was just trying to be polite but she really looked like she didn’t want to be here. She’s the one who came unannounced; I mean who does that anymore?

“Well it’s nice to meet you Veronica,” I tried to ease the tension. She just nodded before eyeing Blake and Mere again. This lady could learn some manners.

“Damn Mere, when you said your girl was hot you weren’t lying,” Nessa smirked as she looked Blake up and down.

“Chill,” Mere hit her. Her mother just looked at them before walking into the dining room.

“Please excuse her dramatics,” Nessa apologized as Mere went after her.

 

 

 

Drake’s P.O.V.

I knocked on Kolbie’s door and was shocked when Jaymie answered. “What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped. She was supposed to be in Canada and I was not trying to have more drama with Nicki just as things were going good.

“I was just leaving,” she pushed past me and got into a car. I walked in and searched for Daven. I found him in the living room. I needed to let him know a few things and set him straight before he oversteps a line.

“Oh damn what are you doing here?” He asked once he saw me. He looked shocked but I would be too. Why would I want to be anywhere near this kid?

“I wanna have a talk; man to man,” I stated. He nodded and motioned for me to sit down. I did and we just had a staring match.

“What do you wanna know?” He grabbed his drink and took a sip. I can’t see why Nicki even has feelings for this kid, he’s nothing compared to me.

“How do you feel about Onika and I want you to be honest,” I said simply. I wasn’t really prepared to hear this but I needed to if I was ever gonna move forward.

“I like her but I know she’s with you so I’m not gonna push up on her. I respect y’all relationship even if you and Jaymie didn’t,” he cut his eyes at me.  He would bring that shit up but it was a mistake.

“Look that was a mistake. Nicki is my world and don’t worry about me slipping up because I won’t,” I stood. He gotta be kidding if I would slip up again just to lose Nicki.

“We’ll see about that. You know what; you just made me reconsider my decision. I might go to Paris after all,” he smirked. I turned to that kid and grew mad. I wasn’t gonna fight him because Nicki would turn this situation around and blame it on me.

“Try one thing with my girl and I’ll beat your ass,” I glared at him. If he steps out of line once then I’m coming for his ass. I dare him to test me; I dare that kid.

“Shit we’ll see about that,” he laughed before I left.

 

Chimere’s P.O.V.

“Mom that was rude!” I hissed at her once I got into the dining room. Why does she have to be a bitch to everyone she meets hence why I didn’t want anyone to meet her. Of all people Blake would be the last on my list. All my past exes I wasn’t serious about so it never really bothered me but Blake is different. She always hated the fact that I was a lesbian and just because she hated it I loved it. I was fine with being a disappointment to her. No one has yet to live up to her standards and it’s sad because she wasn’t always like this. She just turned like this when my Dad died.

“You know you could have been married with some children if you would’ve stayed with him,” she stated while looking around the room in disgust. Everyone knows that I don’t want kids. I love kids but they’re not for me to actually care for.

“He hit me and if you don’t care about that then you don’t care about me. You left me to go to Paris for your dreams. You picked your dreams over your kids. Newsflash, I didn’t ask to be born. Blakelynn is my girlfriend and I don’t care if you like her or not. I love that girl and there’s nothing you can do about it,” I crossed my arms.

“You really love her?” She asked me. That’s a dumb question because it was obvious about my feelings for Blake.

“With all of my heart,” I nodded. She looked at be a little shocked at first but I guess she was processing that through her mind. I never told her that I loved anyone besides Antonio so I guess she realizes how serious I was.

“I guess I should get to know her then,” she let out a small smile. My mom is way too bipolar but she can have her good moments.

“You should apologize first. She was already nervous about meeting you and you made it worse,” I explained. She went back into the kitchen and apologized to everyone.

“So what were you doing before we came?” Nessa asked me as we set the table. She’s nosey but she’s my little sister so I tell her everything.

“Shit, I was about to get some. Y’all always gotta come at the worse time,” I groaned. I could only imagine what would’ve happened if they didn’t come over.

“Shit I don’t blame you sis. I’m not a lesbian but ya girl is fine,” she threw her hands up. She always gotta do that and that’s why I love my sis; she hilarious.

“Shut up,” I laughed.

 

Nicki’s P.O.V.

After leaving Mere’s I headed to Aubrey’s house because he said he had a surprise for me. I walked in and saw rose petals leading up the stairs. I walked upstairs and saw Aubrey standing there with roses in his hand.

“Not that original,” I smirked. I’ve seen this all in movies that we watched together but it’s cute that he’s trying to recreate it. I never thought he actually paid attention to those movies.

“How about this,” he led me to the bathroom where he had a bath set up for me. He’s really trying and that made me want to smile.

“Seen it before,” I tried to hide my smile. The fact that he’s trying just proves how much he wants this to work and so do I.

“I bet you haven’t seen this,” he smirked before turning something and then it turned into a Jacuzzi. My eyes went wide as I eyed it.

“When did you get this?” I turned to look at him. I’ve never seen that in his bathroom when I took a bath.

“I’ve always had it,” he shrugged. He should’ve told me about it. It could’ve helped me through some long nights.

“Are coming in with me?” I bit my lip. I eyed him as he only wore shorts. It looked like he’s been working out and it shows.

“Do you want me to?” He looked at me. I guess he didn’t know if I was serious because it’s been a while since we’ve had a romantic moment like this. It was before Jaymie came into the picture.

“Yes,” I whispered before kissing him. He helped me out of my clothes and I did the same to him.  He got in and I sat in front of him. “This is so relaxing,” I mumbled.

“You deserve it; I don’t want to lose you. I want to show you all I have to offer. You’re the only person I want Onika. You’re the only person who keeps me grounded. You’re the only one who checks me but at the same time respects me,” he whispered in my ear. I turned so I was straddling him.

“I’ve missed you,” I mumbled against his lips. I’ve miss this side of him and it’s nice seeing it. He’s showing me the same Aubrey who I fell in love with.

“I’ve missed you too,” he whispered before kissing me. I kissed him back before breaking it. I lifted up and grabbed him. I slowly slipped him inside of me as we both sighed in pleasure. I begun riding him and he threw his head back. “Damn Nic,” he hissed. He grabbed my waist and slammed me down on him. He kept up the pace until we both came.

“I’m on birth control,” I told him when he realized that he just came in me. I also had the morning after pill so I was well prepared. I have no room for a child right now besides My.

“It felt so good to be in you raw,” he tried to control his breathing. It did feel good to feel all of him with no barriers.

“Don’t fuck up again and you’ll get use to it,” I smirked.

“This is only round one baby,” he bit my neck.

“Oh I know,” I moaned before he got us out of the Jacuzzi. Damn, I think I’ve missed the D more than I’ve missed him.
