Chapter 8
Say it

          A few days had gone by since Meek last saw Nicki. Whenever he came to the house she was gone and they were both busy working and doing shows. They barely communicated, he checked on Gold a few times a day but their conversations were short and specific. He had almost finished making his short term apartment comfortable but it wasn't home and Nicki didn't seem to be breaking anytime soon.

Meek had spent the entire day with Tak and Coon working. He cashed in over half a million dollars of tax free drug money in three weeks. He knew he needed to clean it so he decided to open up an ATV and Motorcycle store just outside of Philadelphia called "DC Racing" . He held back on telling Nicki all the details until it was done.

Tak dropped him at the door of his buildings lobby. Meek slammed it shut and had his head focused on his phone. He stood in the middle of the doorway responding to a text from Nicki that had him in his feelings.

Nicki: interviewing 3 nannies today
Meek: for what?
Nicki: to help with Gold
Meek: I told you NO already
Nicki: Im not asking for permission
Meek: how you gonna decide some shit like that and not make sure its cool with me first
Nicki: lol, really....  all the decisions you've made and didn't think about us?
Meek: I'm always thinking of ..

He got interrupted by someone saying excuse me. His head spun around and saw a curvy brown skin girl in a business suit smiling at him. Her big brown almond eyes met with his. She said it again and laughed nervously. "I'm sorry... Excuse me"

Meek: "my fault"

He held the door open for her and let her through and returned to his text. She walked a few steps ahead of him through the lobby. He kept his head down only seeing her legs. She was wobbling as if the Christian Louboutin's on her stocking covered feet had her in pain.  They reached the same elevator and stood there awkwardly. Meek kept his head down, and adjusted his hat. Occasionally her eyes would wander in his direction and then down. After what seemed like forever the elevator finally came.

She stepped on first and stood near the Back. Meek stood with his back to her near the buttons in the front.

Meek: "what floor?" (He said kindly)

Meek: "what floor?" (He said kindly)

She cleared her voice and managed to say the "21st". He hit only that button , leaned up against the wall and let the doors close. She reached her hand out and introduced herself.
"I'm Ava" she said sweetly.

Meek: "Meek" (he stuck his hand out to return the gesture)
Ava: "we live on the same floor"
Meek: "yea, we do.. What unit you stay in?"
Ava: "I'm in Unit 3, yourself"
Meek: "Unit 1"
Ava: "oh just a few doors down.... you just moved in?"
Meek: "something like that..." (Scratching his head)
Ava: "oh okay"
