36. Pack Our Bags

Meek and I have been taking things day by day. Our relationship has been very iffy lately and we can probably blame that on lack of communication amongst a lot of other things. We've been avoiding each other a lot and there has been zero chemistry and the fact that we haven't had sex in almost 2 weeks let's me know that this is getting serious. I hate having our son around when things are like this so we've been trying our best but both of our stubborn ways have gotten the best of us. I decided that it was time for me to step up and be an adult about everything for the sake of our baby and our relationship.

Nicki- Meek, can we talk for a minute?

Meek- yeah, what's up?

I sat on the couch beside him and looked down at my ring as I spoke.

Nicki- I just hate how things have been around here. I don't want us to be like this. We love each other and we need to start acting like it because right now I just feel like I'm your baby momma and nothing else.

Meek- well you not just my baby momma because baby mommas don't get rings like that. I obviously love you and I want us to work but you just been bringin out the worst in me lately. You know I don't never treat you like that but you really stressin me out.

Nicki- and I feel the same way! I don't mean to hit you and curse at you and stuff but that's what YOU bring out of ME. I love you too and I love our baby and I'll be damned if he grows up without 2 parents around that are in love. Meek we HAVE to work out, there's no other option. I had this baby and in return you promised that you would be there forever and I expect you to keep that promise.

Meek- you talkin like we breakin up. I ain't say shit about us separating or breakin up. That's one thing we not gone do is be off and on especially since we got a kid. We can argue all day but in the end you gone be in my bed so I'm not trippin.

Nicki- I just don't know how to make things better between us.

Meek- this is what couples do Nicki. Both of us bein first time parents contributes a lot but it's gone get better. We just got stop arguing over dumb shit and learn how to communicate and most importantly remember why we fell in love.

Nicki- I'm trying

Meek- and I'm tryin too, we just both gotta try harder.

Nicki- no more cold shoulder and no more walking around like we don't see each other because that really hurts my feelings.

Meek- ok, come here

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in. We kissed each other a few times and then ended it all with a hug. It was one of those hugs that you only give when your really sorry.

Nicki- let's make a bet.

Meek- ok

Nicki-The first person to get mad and not communicate the proper way loses. If you win, what do you want?

Meek- I don't know

Nicki- well If I win, I want a ring.

Meek- another ring?

Nicki- not just another ring, I want an engagement ring Meek.

Meek- we'll see

Nicki- no Meek, this is a bet. It's either a yes or a no. So what's it gonna be?

Meek- yeah, I guess it's a bet.

Nicki- ok. Let's start now.

..

Meek has only been to the studio a couple of times since the baby was born so I agreed that it was ok for him to go for a little while today and plus, I didn't want to start an argument and loose the bet.

Meek- baby?" I heard him yell from downstairs

Nicki- I'm in the room" I yelled back

He jogged up the stairs and into the room.

Nicki- home already?

Meek- I told you it wouldn't take long" he said before kissing me and then the baby.

Nicki- I'm proud of you!

Meek- but look, I need you to pack us a bag.

Nicki- a bag? Like a bag with clothes in it?

Meek- yeah, all three of us.

Nicki- what? Where we goin?

Meek- don't ask no questions just pack the bags.

I nervously started packing our bags not knowing what the hell was going on. Was this nigga on the run or something?

Nicki- Meek did you do something bad?

Meek- nah" he chuckled

Nicki- oh, I just wanted to make sure we wasn't running from the police or nothin.

Meek- nah we good. Hurry up tho.

Nicki- ok, how many pair of clothes?

Meek- I don't know, just as many as you can.

Nicki- ok...

..

Meek- you ready babe?

Nicki- yeah" I said as I struggled to get the bags down the stairs.

Meek grabbed them all with less struggle and put them in the trunk and then he came back to get Razah's car seat. I got in and when Meek was finished he got in the drivers seat.

Nicki- where we goin?

Meek- to get some food.

Nicki- Meeeekkkk, I did not just pack our bags for us to go get some food.

Meek- what you wanna eat?

Nicki- I don't know, you can pick tonight.

Meek- chicken?

Nicki- ok

We went and got some food and then we got back on the road. It was getting late and I was getting sleepy but I couldn't go to sleep until I knew where we were going. We pulled up to the airport and it was obvious that we were leaving Miami.

Nicki- you gone tell me where we goin now?

Meek- no, grab the kid

I grabbed the baby as Meek and another guy loaded our bags onto the plane.

Meek- get in

I walked in and we were the only ones on it. This was my first private plane ride and I was glad because this was Razah's first plane ride and I had no idea how he was going to act. I strapped his car seat in one of the seats and I sat across from him. Meek came and sat beside him and put his feet in the seat next to me.

Nicki- baby, can you please tell me where we goin now?

Meek- we goin on a lil trip.

Nicki- to where?

Meek- wherever this plane lands.

I rolled my eyes and laid my seat back knowing that I would be somewhere else when I woke up.

* SO THEY'RE GOING ON A LITTLE TRIP!
* THIS TRIP WILL HAVE A PURPOSE AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL MAKE THEM STRONGER AFTER ITS OVER.
