Introduction

Nicki's POV

Robert- baby girl?

Nicki- yeah?

Robert- you ready?

Nicki- almost daddy, I'm doing my hair.

Robert- honey we gotta go, you know how your mother gets when we're late.

i brushed my hair into a sloppy ponytail and ran downstairs.

Robert- you were upstairs doing that for a half hour?

Nicki- it would have looked better if you weren't rushing me.

Robert- you look beautiful baby. You can have messy hair when you have a face like that.

Nicki- thank you daddy" I blush

Robert- you ready?

Nicki- no, I don't want to leave!

Robert- I know honey but I'll see you next weekend and we'll do a little shopping. How does that sound?

Nicki- ok" I said excitedly

I got in the truck and we headed to my moms house.

Nicki- daddy, can we stop at Starbucks first

Robert- anything you want baby girl

My parents have been separated for about 2 years now. When I was 14, my dad cheated on my mom and so she filed for a divorce immediately. I kinda saw it coming because even I could see at 14 that there was no more love there. As a result of the split up, my time was split between the two. I see my dad 10 days out of the month but I usually just go to his house whenever my mom gets on my nerves. He always spoils me which is probably why I'm a daddy's girl.

Nicki- can you come and get me on Friday from school?

Robert- your mom says she has something planned so she's going to bring you Saturday morning.

Nicki- she didn't tell me about any plans

Robert- well maybe she'll tell you about it today

Nicki- maybe...

Robert- summer break starts Friday too right?

Nicki- yeah

Robert- well just call me on Saturday ok?

Nicki- ok

We pulled up to my house and I grabbed my overnight bag from the back seat.

Nicki- bye daddy

Robert- by baby girl, I love you.

Nicki- I love you too

He watched me until I got in the house and then he pulled off.

Carol- hi sweetie

Nicki- hey mom, what you doin?

Carol- oh just fixing a little food, but I have something to talk to you about.

Nicki- ok, what is it about?
