i had spent another two weeks in the hospital and i was finally being released. i couldn't have been more grateful to be able to move on my own again. onika was still here with me in houston. she was dead serious about moving together so she spent some of her time apartment searching.

i stood up from the bed with the nurse's help.

"you're moving so much better." the nurse smiled at me.

"thank you." i responded shortly. i knew i couldn't engage too much in a conversation with her because "she's too pretty and wants my dick".

nika's words.

nika had already yelled at me for looking at the woman too hard. luckily, onika wasn't in the room right now so i felt sort of in the clear. but somehow, someway, that girl knew everything so i was positive she'd find out about her touching my hand and helping me up.

i promise nika isn't toxic.. maybe a little bit. but we're gonna work on that.

i got dressed with the nurse's assistance and then she sat me down in a wheelchair. onika was with kelly and michelle. i was glad they were all getting along. it really would've sucked if they hadn't clicked. michelle and onika were the ones to help me to the car. onika eyed the nurse and bucked at her to back away from me.

"mama, stop." i grabbed onika's waist. i looked at the nurse. "i'm sorry.. brooklyn behavior. she's aggressive."

the nurse chuckled and just nodded. "i understand. i, too, would act that way about you.. you're very sexy and.. everything about you is perfect."

nika rolled her eyes and scoffed. "i'll beat that bitch with a fucking bottle. she better not try it." she mumbled but loud enough for the nurse to hear it.

the nurse laughed once more. "oh, dear, i'm about ten years your senior. i can do a lot more for her than you can." she smirked.

i tapped onika's thigh to get her to chill out as she balled up her fist. michelle grabbed my bags and then i was taken to the car. onika put me into the front seat. she pushed the wheelchair into the nurse then got into the car.

kelly took the four of us to her place. she said nika and i could stay there for as long as we needed to. my sister lived kind of far so she knew we wouldn't be able to make that commute.

nika reached forward and massaged my shoulders lightly. "i'm so glad you're out of there." she kissed my cheek.

"i am too. i'm just not looking forward to physical therapy." i sighed softly. my mom fucked me up pretty damn bad. yet i still had love for her.

kelly took us to her home and nika helped me out and inside. she wrapped her arms around my neck and i wrapped mine around her waist. i leaned down and kissed her. we hadn't had a proper kiss in awhile and i was craving it. i reached down to grab her ass as our kiss deepened but she slapped my hands.

"no, we're in someone else's home." she told me and i sucked my teeth, pulling away. she laughed and then went to help get my things.

i didn't want to sit down anymore. i had been sitting for a month so i stood and waiting for the trio to come in. they were laughing about something as they marched through the door. i looked over at them and all giggles ceased. i just knew they were talking about me.

"hey giiirrll!" michelle cheesed at me. the other two followed suit. i now realized what life would be like with the three stooges: triple the eye rolls, triple the attitudes, and triple the shit talking.

after awhile, we were all in the living room just talking. right now, the conversation was about nika and i.

"i haven't really found a place just yet. i mean i have but i didn't make any huge decisions without bey. i wanted her input in too as this will be her home as well. we're getting a two bedroom so that eventually we can have rights to iris." nicki told kelly and michelle. they knew about the moving together part but not iris.
