Chapter 18
More or Less

Alpine, NJ
Monday Morning

Meek came stomping up the steps and into their bedroom. He had just finished shooting around in his downstairs basketball court. Nicki and Tiana were working together to zip her overfilled suitcase, one sat on the top and the other zipped.

Meek: "you need to take some of that shit out"
Nicki: "who asked you?"
Meek: (chuckling) "here... Watch out"

Tiana stepped out the way and he quickly zipped the bag with one try. He grabbed Nicki under her arms and pulled her off the bag.

Nicki: "thanks baby"
Meek: "yea.. (Scratching his chest) .. Why I come up here for?? (He pondered)"
Nicki: "hopefully to shower (she giggled) and tell me how much you love me and how you gonna miss me??"
Meek: (wrapping his arms around her waist) "all of that..but umm"
Nicki: "and you're going to behave"
Meek: "don't I always?" (He winked)
Nicki: (clearing her throat) "yeah... Alright"

He stepped back and it came to him.

Meek: "oh yea... It's some old white lady downstairs .. Say she here to nanny"
Nicki: "did you let her in?!"
Meek: "NO! I thought she had the wrong house... Where Martha at?"
Nicki: (slapping his chest) "MEEK!!! You left her outside?!? (She pushed past him) Martha called in for the week... she has some family emergency.."

Nicki ran down the hall and through her 30 foot foyer. Through the glass doors she saw the woman pacing back and forth on the phone. Nicki put on her professional voice and answered.

Nicki: "hi are you Beth? (She nodded yes) I'm so sorry please come in" (catching her breath)

The middle aged white woman with dark black and gray hair stepped into the house with a suitcase and a book in her hand. She was short and round with a motherly aura.

Nicki: "this is my husband Meek (pulling him over) "
Meek: "my bad , how you?"
Beth: "I'm good, no worries" (she smiled warmly)
Nicki: "baby... (To meek) She comes highly recommended from Bey And some other families in the neighborhood.."

Meek clenched his teeth at Nicki and let her talk.

Nicki: "our housekeeper will be gone for the new few days but He will be in and out if you need anything.. My assistant put together a lovely resource list for you as well in your bedroom"
Beth: "sounds great"
Nicki: "okay great! Let me show you where you'll be staying and my daughters room"

Nicki led her upstairs to where gold was sleeping in her beautiful blue and gold nursery. They walked through quietly to an adjacent bedroom. It was bright and airy with Roman shades open on the Windows. The bedding was plush and freshly made.
