Inevitable

7.

I held a sleeping Kai in my arms as I cooked. He was being fussy so I rocked him to sleep but he wont let me lay him down. I was cooking chicken on the Nu Wave Oven with cabbage and cornbread. My cornbread was almost ready and the cabbage was on low. I looked to Micah as he sat on my couch reading a book.

One thing I noticed about him was he could get so lost into a book that he'd forget where he was. I thought it was sexy actually.

"Micah..." I said from the kitchen. He nodded his head to let me know he heard me. I shook my head and turned the oven off. Micah came in and pulled the cornbread out placing it on the counter.

"Awe my sweet little Kai." I said placing his lil snoring butt onto my bed. I put his in the middle and placed pillows around him just in case. I kissed his forehead and shut the door. Kai is really growing up. He knows things now, he just can't always talk to me but we are gonna get there. The other day his lil behind brought me my keys when I was looking for them. He probably had them but he was so cute.

"So I told my dad that I couldn't take his business from him. I know he just wants it to stay in the family but I don't want it. At least not now. I'm still tryna find new artists to produce." he said stressing. I could understand where he was coming from. He was working on his business and didn't need his father's shop taking time away from his passion. Micah was the creative bookworm. He was smart but stuck in a world of his own. It wasn't a bad thing.

"That's totally fine. I'm sure he understands. I love the relationship you have with your father. I would have believed you were the only child if you never told me you had a brother." I said chuckling.

"Yeah. My brother has never been around though. He was too stuck up under his mother's lies to accept my father for who he was. This some good ass cornbread. Its not dry like other peoples be." I smiled at his compliment. My daddy made the best cornbread, I had to learn from him.

"Thanks. But my sister was the same. She knocked herself out of a lot of blessing when we was growing up cause she was so one minded. She was thinking that we didn't love her or accept her but that was never the case." I said shaking my head. He nodded cause he had a full mouth.

"Anyways enough about that. How's the apple store?" he asked after our little moment of silence. I placed my empty plate aside and stretched out.

"Its cool. I repaired three iPhones on Monday then this dude brought in a totally destroyed Mac Book. He told me his baby mama caught him with another girl. I couldn't help but laugh in his face. I told him that it would cost less to just buy a new Mac Book." I said chuckling. Micah smirked.

"Nah you just ain't want to help cause he was in the wrong." he said as if he knew that for a fact.

"Not true. He needed a new screen, a new LCD screen, and a back cover in gold, as well as a new hard drive.If I was to order all those parts or would have $2,000. I'm sure he would have enjoyed a new computer than a fixed old one. " I said explaining my logic. Micah just shrugged his shoulders.

~ Niyah p.o.v.
"Baby girl, Baby girl. Where you get all that ass from?" Benny said as I walked out of my apartment building.

"uh uh! Where the hell you come from? I told your ass to call me not show the fuck up." I said speed walking to my car. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"who you talking to? If you would answer your fucking phone I wouldn't just show up outta no where. Now come on, my dick over here twitching." he said in his husky tone. I rolled my eyes and looked at my watch.

"Here take my key and ill be back in a couple of hours. I have to meet someone." I said holding out my key. He snatched it and glared at me.

"It better not be no niggah or I will beat your fucking ass Niyah. Don't get fucked up na." I nodded and got into my car. I hate his ass with a passion but his dick was A1.

"What you want Niyah?" Decari said coming from under the Honda he was working on.

"Your brother been messing with one of your bitches." I said knowing I was getting ready to start shit.

"What? Who?" he asked wiping his hands and staring at me.

"The one from that night at Dale's." I said. His face turned up quick. He knew what I meant and I expected him to handle it. I smirked when he pulled out his phone. I got her ass for tryna mess with my man.

"Aye b, lets make a run."

When I got back to my apartment Benny was gone. I didn't see my key anywhere either. I cursed myself for even giving it to his ass.
