What About Omeeka

Thirteen

(Two weeks later)

Meek

After eating a shitty ass meal for breakfast and working out a lil bit my boy Omelly came through with my babymama and my baby boy Papi. I sit across from them and Papi comes to sit on my lap.

"How you been bull?" Omelly asks.

"Livin the life, what chu expect?" I say making us chuckle.

"No niggas up in here fuckin wit you?" He asks.

"Fuck nah, they'd be crazy" I say.

"I handled that situation. Me and the chasers" he says.

"Them niggas the reason I'm on lockdown?" I ask smacking my teeth.

"Yeah but we talked to Jamel and he thinks he can convince them to reduce your time" My babymama Reina says.

"Reduce my time? They ain't gone do that shit. Specially since people been wanting me to be locked up since the jump."

"Meek it just may have to be the move" Omelly says.

"Daddy " Papi says.

"What baby boy?"

"I wanna stay with you" he says. Reina looks down.

"Nah bull. You staying with your mama until I can get you. And when I can get you, you can stay with me as long as you want" I say. He just lays on me. I shake my head.

"Papi you wanna tell daddy that you got taller? " she says lightening the mood.

"I grew two inches" he says holding up two fingers. I smile.

"Good, you still in school right?"

"Yeah" he says smiling.

"Two minutes!" An officer yells.

"We'll get Jamel to visit you and tell you about the time being reduced. Other than that me and the boys been taking care of business" Omelly says.

"Make sure they taken care of too" I say referring to Reina and Papi. He nods.

"We got you" he says standing. I give Papi a hug and kiss before I give him back to his mama.

"I love you daddy" he says.

"Love you too Pap" I say. Going back to my caged cell I just wanted to sleep. Fuck this survival in prison shit.

Nicki

Sitting with Safaree on the bed he was massaging my legs. I was too busy this morning and all I wanted was a nice ass foot massage.

"Baby you hear from Meek?" I ask.

"No, why?"

"Cause he is your friend" I say.

"Barely. He more your friend now" he says making me laugh. I think a little more on that statement and he was becoming my friend.

"Don't burn bridges you might just have to cross over" I say. I get up to get a snack and eat something before going to sleep. I worry about Meek because he is in prison and being in a penitentiary isn't somewhere anyone wants to be at. I'm still mad at how he was arrested in front of his own child. That was fucked up forreal. I get back to the room and eat my beefaroni. Safaree was ready to cuddle up with me when I was ready to lay down.

-I chose the name Reina cause I didn't like the typical names Fah or Samiya. Or should I change it?
