Chapter 37: Internal Sunshine

Part 2, Chapter 37
Internal Sunshine

Miami, Florida

(Meek had only been back in Miami for a week but he was working harder than ever. He recorded over 15 album worthy songs in 7 days. The news and excitement of his unborn second child sparked the flame in him. He had always remained hungry but it felt different. He was grinding like back when he was the little dirty nigga in Philly with the nappy braids. When he wasn't in the studio recording, he was working and booking shows. All he could focus on was Nicki and their family living comfortably while she was carrying his child.

They went back and forth about cancelling the tour, her quitting after the Europe leg but Nicki was determined to do it all. She was still early in her term and would try to hide her pregnancy while completing the U.S. run. Meek wasn't crazy about the idea but because the timing was so off he knew he'd have to compromise.

Both agreed to keep it a secret until after the United States tour, but Meek had already gone and told his closest friends. They seemed to be more excited than him. So much that Tak had suggested they get out and celebrate. Many of their friends were in town for the weekend so Meek agreed to take a break for one night.

Meek, Coon, Pmon and his stylist Jade were doing some shopping at the ritzy Bal Harbor Shopping Plaza in Miami. He roamed around Neiman Marcus, looking at shoes and belts while his stylist shopped for his clothing. Coon wasn't really into fashion, so he sat down and handled some business on his cell phone wile Meek and Pmon tried on shoes. A tall, pretty, and thin white woman assist them with their purchase while other sales associates stand by)

Meek: "these hot?" (modeling a pair of Maison Margiela sneakers)

Pmon: "yea they dope"

Meek: "alright, let me get these in an 11 and a 5"

Sales Assoc: "Of course Mr. Williams" (walking to the back)

Pmon: "The 5 for Nicki?"

Meek: "yea... matter of fact... Hold up!!" (calling on the associate) "what's the hottest shoes out for women right now?"

Sales Assoc: "Oh, well we just received the Valentino spring/summer collection yesterday they are very popular and the Sergio Rossi line is selling very well"

Meek: "They new?"

Sales Assoc: "Yes sir the newest we have"

Meek: "Let me get what you got from both lines in a... I think she a 7 in women's?"

Sales Assoc: "Oh, she must be petite... so a 38 European?"

Meek: "Yea she real little...(he looks in his phone to confirm) Yea it's a 38"

(The sales associate leaves to complete the order. Meek strolls over into the children's shoe section and picks up a pair of baby Gucci shoes. A grin lights his face as he picks up the display pair.)

Meek: "I got to buy two of whatever now" (to the second sales associate, a black well dressed gay guy) "get me two of these, a size two and the booties"

Sales Assoc #2: "Yes sir"

Pmon: "y'all already know what she having?"

Meek: "Nah, but these be cool boy or girl, right?"

(The sales associate nods in agreement and heads to the back. Just as he goes to place the baby bootie back onto the display shelf he feels a small hand tap him on his shoulder. He turns around to see 3 small curvy women standing behind him. The one who tapped him, he knew personally.)
