Robyn
Chapter 54
I smiled as I started to play our wedding song. I loved it when she played and sung to me. It made me feel all warm and happy. I think it was how deep and soulful her voice can get when she's not playing around. I looked around the room and smiled even bigger. I love the vibe we had. It was amazing. You could feel the love and the serenity of it all.
"The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
Soft caress of happiness
The way you walk, your style of dress
I wish I didn't get so weak
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love with me
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne," she sang so beautiful.
She sang the song just like Lauryn Hill but a little deeper. I bit down on my bottom lip as she closed her eyes.
"It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know,
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know," Nyla sang the chorus as she stood up and walked over to us.
I smiled as I watched Nyla sit on her big sister's lap and smile at her. Nyla looked at me and winked.
"I get mad when you walk away, So I tell you leave, when I mean stay
Warm as the sun dipped in black
Fingertips on the small of my back
More valuable than all I own
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone,"I sang as I looked at her.
She smiled and licked her lips. I smirked as Melissa sang the chorus as Nyla laid her head on her big sister's shoulder.
"It was the...Ah
I tried to explain
Ah...but baby, it's in vain," Nyla sang.
"Speaking on my mother's phone
The touching makes me think I'm grown, Sweet princess of the ghetto
Your kisses taste like armoretto
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone," Nola sang as her voice went a little higher than before.
"One more song?" I asked as I looked at them and handed the guitar back to Nola.
I laid my head on her shoulder as Nyla got up and walked back over and sat next to Melissa.
"What song?" Nola asked as she looked down at her hands and started to play around on the guitar.
"I know!" Melissa said as she stood up and cleared her throat.
We all laughed. I raised my eyebrow as Melissa glared at us all.
"It better not be Beyoncé nigga. You and Nyla good for busting out a Beyoncé song on us," Rico said.
"And what if it is?" She said and placed her hands on her waist.
"You gonna be singing to the damn couches and walls," Nola said and laughed.
"Fuck you Nola!" Melissa said.
"You can just because my baby is tired though," Nola said and smirked.
"Robyn get yo dog wife before I put my foot up her ass!" Melissa said.
I laughed and kissed Nola's cheek.
"Just don't sing Beyoncé," I said as we all laughed.
I watched as Melissa looked at us and glared. I was tired and I missed my baby. I just missed us being alone. I was ready for us to be alone. I loved them don't get me wrong but I wanted some time away from them and I know Nola wanted time away from everybody. Including me. It just how she is. We were draining her really good. She was hiding it very well too. But I knew she wanted some space at least for a day.
