Falling For A Felon

Chapter 10

Cops calling ambulances again.

Meek on the ground on his knees.

Looking straight towards the body of blood and twisted limbs on the ground.

He feels as if his life can't get any worse. I mean his pops died, his son is in the hospital, his babymama just died, and now his childhood friend, Lina.

Lina and Meek has been friends since second grade. They remained friends until Meek got expelled in 11th grade for selling drugs at the school. They kept in I'm contact, until one day some random girl he had NEVER met at his school, falsely accused him of rape. That girl was Lina's cousin. So she obviously believed her. They didn't talk after that for a good 5 years. After he got off parole, and the jury dropped the case after finding no sampling of DNA inside nor on the girl. They had just rekindled their friendship. Now, that has come to an end....

As Meek gets off the ground, Nicki pulls up the same time as the ambulance does. She immediately hops out and scureys to Meek and just holds him. He returns the hug by gripping her hard, you can tell because she can barely breath.

Nicki- I..can't..breathe..

Meek- Oh, I'm sorry

He ungrips her and looks down to the ground. She looks at him and can tell her lil soldier has been crying. She then takes two steps closer to him, and lifts his head up before saying...

Nicki- You know I'm here for you right? I'm gonna always be nothing but here for you. No matter what, kid. I gotchu, on lock. I promise.

Meek- I done heard that too many times, now they all dead...I can't

I just can't...

Nicki grabs his arm and drags him to the hood of her car, basically throwing him down on it.

Nicki- Yeah, you're right. You probably heard it from everybody. But my name is NOT everybody. It's Onika Tanya Maraj. You gone call me Nicki though, and everything I told since we reMET, have I lied to you?

Meek looks aways and rolls his eyes, while brushing his hair forward with his fingers.

Meek- Man, I aint got time for this...

Nicki- Have i?! Don't fucking duck the fade, sir. Answer the damn question, I know you dealing with death stacks on deaths, but it aint fucking with your speech, so answer the question. Have i, Nicki, lied to you yet?

Meek- Nahhhh

Nicki- Exactly, so you're just gonna have to accept me being here. Whether you like it or not.

She grabs his face again. Gently stroking her thumbs on the both side of his cheeks, up and down, just brushing all along his stuble while looking in his eyes.

Then her lips, press his.
They kiss for about a good 15 seconds,
and then stare at each other. Meek tries to fall back in for another one..

Nicki notices that. As he get closer, she turn her head, and her hair flips in his face..

Nicki- I'm hungry

Meek laughs.

Meek- Oh, ok..I see how it is.

They both laugh, as they get in the car.
Nic driving if course,before she even pulls off, he trimbles her.

Meek- You something special. God put you in my life at the right time, because aint nobody ever made 2 deaths, so forgettable at a short amount of time.. Thank you

Nicki blushes. She don't know what it was but something about her made these hood niggas soft at times.

Nicki- I gotchu....and don't say unforgettable, that's not right you're meaning to use.

They both laughing.

Meek- I'm hood, and got expelled from school, lemme live

Nicki- I'll let you get away this time.
But uh...

Where you tryna go?

Meek- Anywhere I don't care

Nicki wasnt stupid. She knew he wanted to go see Rj. He just didn't want to see his reaction when he twll him, his mother is dead.

Nicki- Rahmeek, look at me..

He does. He knew she was about to bring it up.

Nicki- where do you want to go?

He sighs in agony, pain, and for the first time; FEAR.

Meek- Rj

Nicki- Gotta take one stone at a time before achieving the conquer of a mountain, daddy. You getting there.

Meek looks at her, and intertwine her fingers with his. She looks back, longer.

Meek- what you staring at daddy for?

Nicki- You're not my dad! Ugly ass fucking noodle head

They both break out in laughter, and kiss right before she takes off for the hospital.
