Something's gotta give | an Omeeka story

Part 19 - Change : Need your trust.

Authors note:
I've been writing Something's gotta give in 3rd person omniscient and I'm going to continue that, but I've been writing in drama mode and I'm about to change it.
I started writing like that cause it was the first book I ever wrote but I have more saved books I've been writing and will release later. I'm writing in a new way and might go back to edit the other chapters if I have time👌🏽😍

This chapter:
"MEEK! Put me downnnn," Nicki screamed as Meek picked her up in a bridal way.

Since the month when she got pregnant for the baby, he had always picked her up around the house even though she didn't want him to. It's as if he thought her legs didn't work anymore.

She was 6 weeks. The 6 weeks have been bliss, her and Meek had gotten very close, haven't gotten into any arguments, things were great.

"I gotta go baby. Ross wants me to hear something but I'd be back later tonight okay?" Meek said as he put her down.

"Okay sure. Love you."

"You too."

As she sat in the living room, she realized that Meek had been going out a little bit more than usual. It was a reoccurrence that he was out every Monday and Saturday by exactly 4.

She hadn't been thinking about it but it was a bit weird. He went to the studio other days but at random times. She didn't want to even think about the possibility of him cheating. No.

"Hey Deen, wassup?" She said as Deen picked up her call. Since her and Meek got together, she got to know his closest friends and she considered them her close friends now.

They were very cool, a good vibe to be around and most importantly free and trustworthy to talk to.

"Sis, we just got together the other day you miss me already?" He said jokingly. She laughed which she mostly did whenever she talked to any of the crew.

"Nah, Deen you play too much, I gotta ask you some' promise you'll tell me the truth," she said introducing a serious cloud.

"Yeah fo' sure sis. What is it?"

"Me and Meek good and all, but for about three weeks every Monday and Saturday by 4, he been going someplace. Tell me, is he doing something?"

There was silence for a minute.

"Uh- sis you know my mans love you. He ain't doing nun stupid. Oh yeah I remember, W-we drive out every Saturday by 4 to snupe stone. And on Mondays we take nizzy and tweety to the stu to work on their mixtape."

She took a breath of relief, "for real? So y'all together now?" She confirmed.

"Nic yes we are. Ain't nun to it that's all relax sis," he added.

"I feel stupid," she said laughing at her thought of Meek cheating or doing something fishy. "Thank you D, bye."

She paced around the room waiting for Meek to come back, she knew something had been going on. How stupid did they think she was.

She hadn't gotten over the fact that Deen and Chino had lied to her even after she thought they were past that stage.

Well apparently not.

After talking to Deen, she had decided to call Chino up and just check up on him.

"Chino, hey how have you been?"she said at the sound of the click.

"Sis, I'm good. Just stressed, want to rest my head a lil," he sounded stressed and tired.

"Oh, sorry C. I thought y'all supposed to be in the Studio with tweety and Nizzy helping on their mixtape?"

"Studio with Tweety and Nizzy? They been done with their mixtapes for a long time now."

"Then where Meek been going by 4 on Monday and Saturdays?," she asked him alarmingly suspicious again.

"U-uh right we been going to eh- kick box. Meek ain't want you to know cause he afraid u will laugh," he replied uneasily.

She asked him no further questions and politely hung up. She was more than angry she was hurt that they had lied and her fears might be true in the end.

She had a feeling she was going to know by tonight. It was already 10 and she was already contemplating confronting him tonight or in the morning.

She heard the door open and close. He was home. She stood up immediately waiting for his entrance into the room.

"Where have you been?" She asked impatiently, standing with unease.

"Uh..Hey babe.. I told you," he said and proceeded to kiss her.

"No-no, I don't know. Where have you been going every Monday and Saturday by 4?"

"Nika, I was at the studio. What's going on? Where is this coming from?-"

"Do not fucking lie to me Meek. I'm Not stupid. You and all your friends have different places y'all claim to go," she spat out with anger.

"A-are you cheating on me? Just tell the fucking truth."

"Wha-what? You think I'm cheating on you?"

"There's no other explanation. And if you're not, then tell me where you were today. Now," she said giving him an out.

"I-I can't do that Nika. You gotta trust me," he gave her the answer she didn't want to hear.

"Well you can't blame me now. I don't want you to sleep in here tonight. Go find another room to sleep in" she got on to the bed. "Nika just trust me please, I ain't doing nun," he tried reasoning.

"And don't bother sleeping outside my door cause it won't work this time," she finally said as she got under the covers and faced the wall.

"Nika, don't" {Bryson Tiller voice😂}

She didn't reply or move. She acted like he wasn't there u till she heard the door open and close. She went to sleep.
