Wednesday
"Baby let's pray. We both got big days ahead of us. Let's pray"
We grabbed hands across the breakfast table and started to pray.
"...amen"

"Eat your breakfast"
"You too baby"
We went downstairs going to our vehicles praying once more before departing.
"I love you baby, good luck"
"Same to you baby".
I drove to campus silently with some Kirk Franklin playing lightly in the back.
"Ms Woods?" The lady called.
I took a deep breath before gathering my bags and went into the room behind her.
"Good luck"
I opened my book and looked at the questions.
In God we trust.
"Good luck huh?" I mumbled to myself before I started reading.
Nique pov
"Are you Monique Alwikers?" A lady asked me.
"Yes ma'am"
"Follow me" she gestured me to follow her back into a office.
"So you wanna be our basketball coach huh?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Let's get started shall we?"
I clasped my hands together nervously as she began.

2 hours later
"Hey darling. How was the interview?"
"I don't know. I have mixed emotions about it right now
"How you think the test went?"
"I most definitely think I failed"
"You didn't. You been studying your ass off for weeks. You good"
Nique kissed genis forehead and climbed in bed.
"Come take this nap with me bae"
"Alright gimme a sec" geni said going to the bathroom.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" geni quickly shook her head and closed the bathroom door.
Nique shrugged her shoulders and removed her outside clothes climbing into the bed looking for a movie.
Geni pov
"Nothing" I told Nique and gently shut the door behind me.
It's okay Geni chill. It's okay. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't fucking cry Genesis.
I fanned my face trying to stop my tear from falling but that did nothing.
Overwhelmed with it all I walked over to the corner sitting down crying.
It's not even that deep.
You did not bomb it.
You'll be okay.
I rocked back and forth crying silently making sure Nique didn't hear me.
Knocknockknock
Nique bussed in the bathroom before I could even answer.
"Whatchu doing shitting? You crying?" She came rushing to my side.
I fucking love her.
"I'm not. What movie did you choose?" I said wiping my tears trying to change the subject.
"Genesis"
"I'm fine okay"
"Talk" she demanded while sitting me on the sink.
"It's okay" I hopped off getting tissue to wipe my tears.
She blocked the door so I couldn't get out.
"G please. I can't help you if I don't know what's going on"
"I'm fine okay"
"Genesis" she glared staring me dead in my eyes.
We made eye contact.
After making eye contact with I felt myself start to bust. I wiped my eyes and soon enough I started crying into her chest.
"Geni what is wrong?"
"I- I just feel like a failure. If I fail this test it's over with. Like my- our whole life depends on it. Im not bring our child in this world if their mom if a big fucking flonky. I feel like I don't try enough cause if I did I wouldn't be feeling like this"
I looked up at Nique and I could tell she was trying her best not to laugh.
I rolled my eyes and pushed past her plopping onto the bed.
"Geni. Geni😂" she came pleading after me.
"No leave me alone. I just pour my heart out to you and you laugh in my face"
"Baby no. I'm not laughing" she said getting in bed beside me.
"Mhm" I snatched the cover off of her and turned on my side.
She chuckled and eventually got under the little cover she had left before I shared my cover.
She rubbed my hip and I played with her ear and we fell asleep.
