NYC

Nicki POV

"Alright momma you ready to go to the ceremony they're presenting us?" I ask fixing her black hat. "Yes baby girl I'm so glad you could come on top of your busy schedule" she says as I placed my black tinted shades on. The rest of our family and friends are already there so me and her where riding with the military guards.

Meek and I talked somethings before I flew home but as of right now we haven't been on speaking terms and I need his ass the most right now. "Ok let's go" I say grabbing her hand as we walked outside getting in the hearse. Approaching the ceremony event we got out meeting the rest of our family and friends. Even my dad decided to show up but I wasn't upset I'm just happy he's here for lani.

We all sat down in our seating area as there was one seat left beside me. "Momma who else suppose to be coming?" I ask as she shrugged. I then turned around asking titi to get Candi. "Somebody else suppose to be coming?" I asked as she shrugged. Turning around in my seat a male figure sat down beside me. I didn't bother looking to see who he was until he placed his hand on my thigh causing me to jump.

Glancing over at this man a smile appeared on my face realizing it was Rihmeek. I tried so hard not to jump in his lap and kiss the fuck outta his ass but I keep my composure. It's been 10 days since I've seen and talk to him so this means a lot to me he came out his way to support and show my family, friends, and I some love. I bet this was all Candi's idea so I turned around thanking her as she smiled.

I held myself throughout the ceremony and when the present the flag over the casket and all but when they got ready to take him away the tears fell hard all over again. Meek pulled me into his arms as I cried my eyes out before we were told to rise and follow behind them.

Flashback

"I want you to be good. Continue to do good in school and help moms out around the house." Jelani says as we sat in Dairy Queen sharing a sundae. "I will lani, I just don't want you to leave. Like you gotta be here when I graduate next year and from college" I say eating the cherry tying the stick in a knot with my tongue showing him.

"And I will baby sis you just continue to do good and let me worry about taking care of you and momma. I'm gone have a check sent out to y'all every week with a decent amount of money so don't be spending it all on shopping Onika I know you" he says as I giggled. "And I also got you covered for college too so Imma need you to continue doing what you doing and don't fuck up!" He says as I nodded.

"I'm serious Onika. No boys. No sex. No parties. None of that. Lemme find out yo ass having sex before marriage I'm beating you and that niggas ass" he says as I laughed. "Well I don't think I can promise you I won't have sex till marriage but I'll stay protected when I do have sex." I say as he just looked at me. "I don't know what I'm gone do with you" he says shaking his head as I sighed.

"Imma be good dad, me and momma both" I say as he smiled. He's always stepped up to dads part so he's like a father figure along big brother in my life. "Can you promise on thing tho" I ask finishing my half of the sundae as he sat back. "Wassup" he says as sadness took over me. "Don't get killed" I say softly as tears filled my eyes. "Nika don't cry" he says getting up sitting beside me as I cried in his chest.

"I can't promise you that baby girl but I can promise you I'll always be back to visit you and check up on you with school and everything but please don't cry, you're making this hard on me" he says kissing my forehead as I wiped my tears. "But that's my biggest fear lani. That you'll leave and I'll never get to say goodbye" I say siting up as he wiped his eyes.

"Don't look at it as a goodbye more so like I'll see you later because it's true. If I die fighting remember that I loved you and momma and that we'll see each other again" he says as I sighed. "Ok" I say sadly as he hugged me again. "Now let's go do something fun and cheer you up because I don't like it when you cry" he says getting up throwing our trash away as I followed behind him.

"Well I could use a fill in and pedi" I say as he shook his head. "Ok let's go" he says as I smiled getting in his car. "Damn I'm going to miss him when he leaves in August" I say to myself as we pulled off heading to the nail salon.

End of flashback

"Wow he's really gone, my lani" I say as meek held my hand. "Aye do y'all mind if I take her with me for awhile" he asks as I looked up at him confused. "Uh sure go ahead but have her back before dinner" my mother says as meek nodded walking me over to the uber he came in. Getting in the backseat he pulled me in his arms telling the driver to take him back to his hotel.

I don't know what's going on but if it's to talk I'm not in the mood for it because I've been under so much stress lately I don't have the energy to argue and fight. "Thank you for co..." I say but was cut off by him kissing me and of course I didn't fight it so I kissed back moaning into the kiss.

"Wow" I say pulling away rubbing my lips as he stared at me moving my curly hair out my face. "What was all of that f..." I say as he attached my lips again this time rubbing his hands up and down my thighs as my breathing picked. "Meek wait......stop....slow down" I say as he kissed my neck but I pushed him back. "STOP IT RIHMEEK! The fuck is you doing" I say annoyed but turned on at the same time as he bit his lips.

"I missed you and I'm sorry for how I've been acting it's just I needed time to clear my mind and when Candi called and said how much you needed me I thought I come out and surprise you and let you know that I love you and how sorry I am." He says as I chuckled angrily slapping him across the face. "Don't you EVER ignore me like that ever again do you hear me" I say as he held his face. "Damn girl chill out but yes I hear you." He says as we came to a stop.

"Now you said you were sorry huh?" I ask smirking at him as he nodded his head yes. "We'll show me how sorry you are daddy" I winked getting out the car waiting for him to take me inside. Yes I'm on a new birth control so I won't get pregnant thank god but I am willing to have his babies 3 or 5 years from now and he knows that. This should be a huge stress reliever for me so I'm ready to get it popping.
