Princess of Brooklyn

Chapter 9

I woke up the next morning feelin' tired as ever. I grabbed the letter that was under my pillow and continued to read.

I have to find a location, where did he go? She thought.

Ya have to know I didn't want to go with 'er. I'm going to live in Massachusetts, but I'll write to ya. I promise.

Please forgive me and don't tell nobody about what ya know.

-Ace

I decided that I'm goin' to see him. I'm goin' to Massachusetts.

I walked out into the kitchen to find papa in the kitchen, drinkin' coffee and readin' a pape, and mama foldin' clothes.

"Hi, uh, can I talk to ya?" I asked my parents. That got their attention.

"Well, uh..." My palms got sweaty. "Ace went to live in Massachusetts and I wanted to visit him..."

"No, no way!" My papa snapped.

"But..." I began.

"You're not goin'!" Papa sneered.

"Please! I can even take somebody with me, if it makes ya feel better." I wiped my palms on my dress.

"No. And on top of everything, you're birthday is in a week and a half." Papa said.

"Mama. Please. I need to see 'em." I begged.

She sighed, "Okay, but ya need to bring somebody with ya. To keep ya safe."

"Lex! I just told 'er no." Papa snapped.

"Ya only said it 'cause ya don't like 'em. I said she can go. That's final." Mama said.

"Thank ya mama!" I hugged 'er.

"Lex-" Papa pleaded.

"Nikki, go pack and who are ya gonna bring?" Mama asked.

"Cricket?" I asked.

"Okay, but someone else, too. A boy. Someone who can protect ya." She said.

"Dutchy?" I asked.

"Sure, now go pack. Spot, come with me." Mama said.

Papa is in trouble...

Spot's POV

I knew that I was in trouble when Lexi called me in. Especially since she's pregnant, her moods are crazy.

We walked into the bedroom and she shut the door behind 'er.

"Lex. What was that for, we we're supposed to agree on it." I said.

"Spot. Lay down with me." She patted next to her. I obeyed and layed down next to 'er. She put her head on my chest and I put my chin on her head.

"If my parents were still alive, and I wanted to go see ya, they'd never let me go. It would kill me not to see ya." She said.

"Lex-" I began.

"Even if they said no, I would find a way to see ya. She likes 'em a lot. I don't want to stop 'er." Alexia began to kiss my neck, up to my cheek.

"Alright, I get it." I said.

"Plus, we'd have the whole joint to ourselves." She smiled, then kissing my nose.

"That sounds great." I lifted her head, looking into her eyes, and then crashed my lips onto hers.

*Nikki's POV

I get to see Ace! I quickly grabbed my bag from under my bed and set it in my chair.

I climbed out the window and to Cricket's place.

"Cricket!" I yelled.

"What?" She said.

"Guess what? You, me, and Dutchy are goin' to Massachusetts. Start packin'."

I ran off to tell Dutchy.
