One Night Stand

Chapter 4

Onika's POV

"Hello," I answered my phone.

"Hey," the voice answered back. I waited a bit to see if the caller wanted to expand upon who they are and why they're calling. "Can you hear me," the person asked.

"Yes, who is this," I asked.

"Damn, you give out your number to that many people. You can't remember who you might have given it to yesterday," the person questioned.

I laughed, "Maybe."

"Well how many of them sound this sexy," the voice said back.

"Robyn, why are you playing on my phone," I asked.

"Oh so you do know who this is. Playing hard to get. I respect it," she answered, sounding like she was taking a drag of something, probably a blunt.

"Girl, what do you want," I asked closing my laptop, knowing full well I won't get any work done while she was on my phone.

"Let me come over," she answered.

"Where are your manners? I know you're famous and rich but you can't feel that entitled to people's time can you," I asked.

"May I please come over," she corrected.

"I'm kinda busy, working," I answered.

"You can still work. I'll be as quiet as a mouse," she countered. I stayed silent. "Cross my heart. Hope to die. Stick a needle in my eye. I promise."

"Why do you want to come over," I asked.

"I want to check on my niece," she said.

"She's good. She's sleep right now. I have to get her back on schedule, you know, because of your bestie," I said. 

"Nick stop being so damn difficult. Lemme come over girl," she said. I didn't say anything. "I will beg."

"Do it," I said amused at the thought of her begging. She facetimed me instantly. I rolled my eyes before answering.

"Well don't you look comfy," she said taking in my bonnet and pajamas.

"Get to begging," I instructed. She pursed her lips before setting the phone down angling it towards her body and falling to her knees.

"Please Nicki let me come see my niece," she said, a pout adorning her face.

"Hmm," I considered.

"See this what these men are talking about when they say women don't let them see their children," she huffed, getting off the floor.

I let out an obnoxious cackle that woke Ayla. "Girl bye, your niece is crying," I said before hanging up. I quickly sent her my address before heading upstairs. "La La we are about to have company. Don't act crazy because I know you're not used to people," I smiled at her when I entered her room.

She babbled in a calmed response once she heard my voice.

"We are going to get you in something cute but you're going right back down for more sleep you've only been out for 10 minutes," I said picking out an outfit for her that was more than the white onesie she had on. I settled on a pink onesie and matching short set.

'I'll be there in 30,' Robyn responded. I put Ayla in my bed removing all fluffy things and choking hazards.

"Okay little baby, I do not have time to put back for a nap before Robyn gets here so you might have escaped your fate yet," I spoke to her while going through my closet.

She babbled back.

"Yeah exactly, folks are so inconsiderate for your nap times. These last few days have been wild for you," I smiled at her. She chewed on her hand. "Which one do you like better," I asked, holding up a pink maxi dress and a pink short set. "We could really match if I wear this one, but do I wanna be that mom?" She looked at me with her big hazel eyes gleaming. "Oh of course I want to be that mom, my baby. Lets match," I said, putting the dress back. I quickly changed into the short set, before pulling off my bonnet. "Okay let's move you to your walker while I do my hair and makeup." I followed through on my promise and did a quick eyeliner wing with no eyeshadow and unwrapped and brushed my hair. "How do I look," I asked, turning to Ayla. She gave me a smile showing her two front teeth. "That good huh? I might get you a step-mom today," I laughed. The doorbell rang shortly after. "Okay this is supposed to be effortless, so play your part," I told her, grabbing her out of the walker and going to the door.

"Come on before paparazzi see me," I heard Robyn yelling through the door.

"You yelling definitely doesn't attract attention," I said swinging the door open.

She smiled at me and I handed her Ayla.
"Why are you giving her to me,' Robyn asked.

"You wanted to see your niece and quiet as a mouse remember it's still her nap time. Her bedroom is upstairs and to the left. Play the CD player and pat her back. She'll fall right to sleep," I said sashaying towards the living room. I heard robyn scoff before heading up the steps. I smiled to myself and went to watch them on the baby monitor, when I was sure that Robyn was going to be able to put Ayla to sleep I continued with my work.

"What do you do anyway," Robyn asked coming down the stairs.

"Contract law, mainly contracts between an individual and a company. Think when you signed with Jay, or if an influencer signed to Fenty," I answered reading over a contract.

"Sounds riveting," she muttered.

"It gets the bills paid," I said. She quickly snatched my laptop off of my leg and put her head in its place. I stared down at her. "What happened to quiet as a mouse?'' She made a gesture that indicated she was zipping her lips and licking the key. "Okay but the point of you being quiet was so that I could do work, you've moved my laptop." She shrugged. "I'll give you until Ayla wakes up, then you're on babysitting duty," I said handing her the remote to the TV.

"So you make Ayla listen to B to go to sleep," Robyn asked while flipping through channels.

"Yes, I figured if they ever met it might be helpful for Ayla to know her voice," I sighed.

"But now she cant see B," Robyn asked.

"Drop it," I answered.

"Okay," Rob said, getting silent again.

"When are you putting out another album," I asked. She quickly shot up and looked around the room.

"Look me in my fucking eyes. Did the fucking Navy get to you? I know they crazy. I don't put it past them," she asked, staring at me. I blushed from the eye contact.

"Robyn, maybe I am part of the navy," I said.

"Oh my god," she said lying back down. "When do you think I'm making one?"

"If I were you I wouldn't, but your fans love you and your music so you should. We are starved," I said exasperated.

"You lot will be okay. I'm releasing something soon," she smiled.

"The lies these celebrities feed us chile," I said shaking my head.

"If I let you listen to a sample of something will you promise not to harass me about an album ever again," she said.

"Never will I promise that to you," I laughed.

"Shut up I worked hard putting Ayla to sleep, and since you cant promise you cant hear anything. Better luck next time Onika."
