Nicki- hey daddy, where are you?

Robert- I'm at work, I'll be getting off in about 15 minutes baby girl. You need something?

Nicki- no, I was just wondering if you could pick me up from moms when you get off?

Robert- yeah, I can do that.

Nicki- ok, I'll be ready

Robert- ok baby, I'll call when I get close

Nicki- ok

Robert- love you

Nicki- love you, bye

I didn't plan on spending the night at my daddy's house but I was going to pack a bag just in case. I threw in a simple outfit and all my toiletries and things that I would need.

Nicki- mom" I yelled as I ran down the stairs

Carol- Onika stop yelling! What is it?

Nicki- where is my phone charger that I let you borrow yesterday?

Carol- I thought I gave it back to you

Nicki- well you didn't

Carol- go check downstairs

Nicki- uhh" I groaned

I ran downstairs to the basement to see if it was downstairs. I was rushing because I wanted to be ready when my daddy got here.

Meek- damn, you just gone burst in my room like that?

Nicki- this is the basement

Meek- well it's my room now

Nicki- and what's your point?

Meek- what if I was doing something?

Nicki- well how about you don't then.

Meek- you got a real attitude

Nicki- have you seen my charger?

Meek- this one?

Nicki- rule number one, don't use my shit without asking me. I don't like sharing." I said snatching the cord out of his hand.

Meek- you welcome

I ran back upstairs and put my charger in my bag. I was slowly starting to dislike everybody in this house.

Nicki- hey mom

Carol- yeah?

Nicki- dads about to come and get me so we can spend time together.

Carol- ok, I want you back no later than tomorrow evening though. Understood?

Nicki- yeah

Carol- well have fun honey

Nicki- ok

She gave me a kiss and then I went to wait for my daddy on the porch.

Meek- you leavin?

Nicki- yeah, I'm going to my daddy's house.

Meek- what you don't wanna be here?

Nicki- not really..

Meek- you don't like us to much huh?" He chuckled

Nicki- why would you ask that?" I said sarcastically

Meek- my pops told me you had a attitude..

Nicki- yep I sure do, and a mouth to match.

Meek- yeah, I can't tell

He walked back in the house and I continued to wait. I saw my dads truck pull up and my face lit up.
