Waist Deep. (Omeeka)

Chapter 18

Nicki
It's sad that I only have memories of us. 

I miss our conversations. I miss how we used to talk every minute of every day and how I was able to tell you everything that was on my mind and you'd sit and listen even if it was about nothing. I definitely missed our goofy moments.

There's not a single moment in the whole day where I don't think of you.

I wish you were here to tell me everything will be okay. When I think of you, I read our old messages and find myself smiling until my cheeks turn red. I miss you like crazy.

I wrote about meek in my diary as I looked out the window at the view. I watched as The beach looked it's usual, crowded with speed-boats and people on the beach playing with their kids in the sand, officials and passengers from the ships to the landing area and vice versa.

The sun beamed beautifully on the water. The weather looked pretty bearable today.

"You Okay mommy?" I heard papi asked walking into the room

I noticed that omelly was standing in the door leaning on the door frame.

I looked at papi with a unnoticeable, forced smile.

"Yeah I'm okay, pap." I told him. I could see omelly staring a hole right through me but I acted as if I didn't notice

"Okay," his voice spoke before he disappeared somewhere in the house

"You just lied straight through yo teeth , sure you're okay Nic?" Omelly questioned and walked over

"Yes Omelly."

"Nicki." He said as he looked at me with a stop lieing face

I sighed and felt my emotions take over me once again. "Tyrone showed up ..And- and he touched me." I cried out "in front of papi." I finished

"The fuck?!" I heard omelly speak out

I could tell he was now very heated. "He touched you sis?!" I nodded and felt my body jerk as I cried even harder

"Yes O, I was telling him to get off of me but he just wouldn't. Papi came in the living room and witnessed everything." I cried out as he brought me Into a tight hug

"You good though right? He ain't rape you or no shit like that right?" He said in a hopefully tone

"No, he didn't."

"When I run into that nigga Ima pop his ass." Omelly growled out angrily

"Fuck! I wish you would've called me Nic."

"Go clean yaself up sis, ion want papi to see you like this." I nodded and made my way to the bathroom

"Mommy, you sure you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine pap." I turned around towards him, facing him I noticed his hair looked different

He walked closer to me then stopped once he was standing in front of me.

"Just making sure because I don't want you hurt." He stuffed a fallen piece of hair behind my ear

"Thank you, I definitely don't want you hurt neither." I smiled at him

"I'm strong... I don't get hurt." He flexed his muscles "see."

"I see papi, but we're going to be strong together." He nodded

"But you're gonna have to grow muscles first." He told me and I laughed

"I'll take that in consideration." I told him & he nodded
