Ch.6

|Naomi|

Who in the hell does he think he's talking to? I'm not a fucking child. Like, seriously?

And then he gon' try to label me as the bad person, saying stuff about how I treat my child. I know what I'm doing. He really irks my nerves. Every single one of them.

"Mommy?" Nicole asked peeping her head in the door.

"Yes," I sighed. I was trying to get some rest.

"Can you play with me?" She crawled on the bed beside me.

"No, Nicole." I tried to say it in the nicest way possible, "Why didn't you ask Trey?"

"He's in the shower," She replied.

"Well, just wait 'till he gets out." I turned on my side, getting comfortable.

"But mommy, why can't we play?" She started whining, "I just wanna play with you."

"Because," I yelled, sitting up making her flinch, "I'm tired and you're disturbing me."

She then busted out with tears.

"Ever since Grammy died, y-you be mean to me."

Before I could reply, Trey came busting through the door with just a towel, showing a perfectly sculpted body along with a six-pack.

"Trey," Nicole cried, reaching out for him.

He managed to pick her up without dropping his towel.

He looked at me with a disgusted face and just left out the room, closing the door behind him.

After I heard his footsteps fade away, I just broke down and cried. I felt horrible. The bad thing about it is that I didn't care while I was doing it.

I feel like I let myself down as a mother and a person.

I sat there crying my life away, as I thought about what I've done. After a while, I decided to go and apologize. Mainly to Nicole, but for Trey as well.

As I was going downstairs, I heard Trey and Nicole laughing and playing around, which brought a smile to my face.

As I reached the last step it creaked, causing their laughter to die down. They faced their attention towards me, with not so pleasant stares. I moved shyly and sat down on the couch across from them.

Nicole moved on Trey's lap and layed on his chest.

There was an awkward silence, until I decided to break it.

"I know you guys are mad at me, so I came down here to apologize," I shifted my position on the couch and began speaking again.

"I haven't been acting fair towards you since Grammy died, Nikki, and mommy's really sorry," I said with tears building up in my eyes as Nicole and Trey stared at me. "I'm so sorry, baby. Mommy still loves you.. so much," I said looking down and wiping my tears.

Seconds later, I felt tiny arms wrap around me and instantly felt warm inside. I picked her up and embraced her the tightest I could do without hurting her.

"It's ok, mommy. I love you too," she stated, giving me a big, wet kiss on my cheek.

I looked up at my beautiful daughter and smiled. She returned the same gesture, making me smile once again.

Trey cleared his throat, making his forgotten presence known. I sat Nicole to the side and looked over to Trey who had an unreadable expression on his face, while staring at me intensely. His penetrating gaze was kind of scaring me.

He got off the couch and started walking towards the back end of the hallway.

"Naomi, come here for a second,"

I immediately tensed up for some reason, but got up anyways. I put the TV on something Nicole would like and made my way towards the hallway where Trey was standing.
