Meant To Be Yours!

Chapter XVI

Abdul's POV

Life with Nikki is amazing. The house feels more like a home now and she is getting used to it. We even invited my siblings and Father for dinner a couple of times and all encounters went perfectly. Yet here I was listening to my Mother who decided to ambush me at work, I don't blame her, I've been avoiding her on purpose. I have cancelled all my meetings for her. 

"Abdul, she's changing you, why can't you see it? You don't come to family weekends anymore. Is your family not important to you anymore?", "Mother, I do meet with everyone just not you and Inaya. We both know why that is so. If you tell me right now that you're willing to accept Nikki and our kids, I'll be happy to come to see you anytime you wish", I said looking at her. Oh, she was pissed. "They are not your children Abdul. Why would you call them yours? Do you even know who their father is or why he left her? If you ask me a parent doesn't walk away from their children unless there is something wrong with their relationship", she said with her head held high making me furrow my brows. "I don't know nor do I care, I'm in love with their mother and I have accepted them. I don't see any harm in accepting her kids too, besides I don't care about her past". "You've lost your mind. Is this because of Layla? Do you want someone else? Is that it?", "Mother, I don't want someone else, I want Nikki. I want you to stop hating the woman I love without reason. I want you to accept her as part of the family". I tried reasoning with her hoping she would give me a better response. 

"I will never accept a woman that does not respect my wishes even when I specifically told her to stay away", "You did what?", it was my turn to get pissed. It was like I was back in that hospital bed five years ago. The pain of being rejected, the pain of trying to find her, only to reach a dead end every time. It was her, she told Nikki to disappear. "The day she came to the hospital dressed like a hooker. I followed her to the parking lot and told her to respect my wishes if she was planning to become a mother, she would understand why she was not worthy of you. Son, what does she have to bring to the table? You need to open your eyes, she is not Qadir material, even her own family doesn't want her", "Mother, that's enough. Leave!", I shouted at her. It was my first time doing it. I always respected her and never went against her wishes. Yes, I was stubborn but not even once did I ever raise my voice at her. "Leave!", I saw tears in her eyes as she walked out of my office. I texted the guys in our WhatsApp group, telling them I needed a drink after work. It was something that we did whenever one of us was having a bad day. We even had a favourite bar for the occasion.

"No way!", "I know. I have never done it in my whole life", I confessed to Greyson and Khaled. Yes, he pissed me off the last time when he disrespected Nikki but I chose to ignore it. Blamed it on the alcohol, even though I knew it took a lot to get Khaled drunk. "Is she worth it man?", Khaled finally spoke without looking at me. "I don't know, but since you are the gold digger detector, how about you tell me if she is fucking worth it!", I shouted a bit too loud for my liking, catching the attention of the people sitting next to us. "Abdul", Greyson warned, yes I had anger issues, they might have gotten me in trouble a couple of times but he crossed a line and I did not care about bro code at this point. 

"Look I'm sorry about what I said that night. I shouldn't have said it", he said finally looking me in the eyes. "Well it doesn't fucking matter, she was starting to open up to the idea of trusting people but now, she prefers locking herself in the house because no matter what she fucking does people will always think that she is with me for my money. And I hope you're proud of yourself... Fuck this! Am out", I said putting a twenty on the counter and leaving. Greyson tried calling me but I ignored him. I was so pissed that my own best friend didn't like my girl. He knew our story and I figured telling them about it would make them see why I love Nikki and I was doing what I did. But he was full of hatred that he didn't want to see reason. He just chose to treat her like his ex-wives, she was not them, she was mine. He didn't even try to get to know her. Who does that?

When I got home I found her waiting for me. She looked cute in her pajamas. It was a pair of a shirt and shorts, it made her ass look bigger. It's sad because she was so focused on her baby fat that she could not see how sexy she was. Her baby face, dark chocolate skin, fat kissable lips and don't get me started on her boobs, they were big and soft, coming to think of it, she was the softest person I ever came across. 

"Hey babe", I said walking into the living room. Her face lit up making me smile. All of a sudden everything horrible about my day vanished. It was all worth it, she was worth it. I pulled her in a kiss making her smile. I grabbed her ass squeezing lightly. "Don't you ever get tired of doing that?", "Do you ever get tired of eating chocolate muffins?", I asked knowing that she would never stop eating chocolate muffins. She was addicted to them. "No", "Good, now you know this", I squeezed her ass cheek again, "will never stop", I finished then kissed her full lips again making her moan. "Go take a shower, I will warm the food for you", "Yes ma'am", I said going up the stairs. To be honest I enjoyed being with Nikki in the house. Even though she was hard-working, she always tried her best to attend to my needs, and by needs, I mean all of them. I am young and energetic so there are four things that I crave all the time. Work, Whiskey, Sex and more Sex.
