Trouble In Chicago

Chapter 2

Nicole POV.

It was around 7:30 when I was sitting in the family room watching the Miami vs Charlotte game , drinking Gatorade and eating a bag of bbq utz chips. I have a weird obsession with dwayne wade he's ONE OF the main reasons why I like Miami heat.

I took a sip of my lemon lime flavored Gatorade and put my feet up on the coffee table. Then of course , my sister's ridiculously annoying friends came barging into the living room making loud noises for no reason what so ever.

" AYE NIKKI " Her boyfriend , Caleb , said holding his hand out so I could dap him up. I just blankly looked at him and blinked.

" what ? Y'all need to leave making all this damn noise " I said screwing up my face and moving his hand.

Coleysia , Morgan's friend , came running in with Morgan trailing behind her. "Nooo what the hell Bosh, why did you not block that? It was so easy." I said ignoring the rodents in my house.

" hey Nicole " coleysia said sitting down next to me

" hello " I continued watching the game.

" where mommy " Morgan said sitting on her boyfriends lap

" minding her business. Why?"

" aye man don't catch no attitude with me "

" shut up please " I sat and up shouted at the tv "AYE LEBRON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING. PASS THE DAMN BALL."

" why so loud ? " Sean , another one of my sisters friends , said taking one of my chips.

" Imma knock you out keep on " I said smacking his hand.

" I'm hungry " he said going into the kitchen. They all followed him and started going through the refrigerator and cabinets

" WHAT THE FUCK ? GET OUT ! " I screamed at them when I saw my mom's headlights shining through the window.

" calm down " Morgan said

" right . Loosen up " Caleb said eating out of a bag of family sized chips.

" y'all know how she is " coleysia said laughing. I rolled my eyes.

I snatched away the food from everybody as they whined and mumbled under their breath.

"What was that?" I turned to Caleb, who had mumbled a little too loudly. He smacked his teeth and shook his head. "That's what I thought." As I put our food back where it belonged, I told Morgan that she needed to get her stupid friends out of the house.

"Stupid?!" Coleysia exclaimed, "Nikki, you needa watch yourself. I ain't stupid."

"Ain't isn't a word," I said bluntly and walked past them and sat on the couch. I looked at the score to see that Miami was down by 6 points with 3 minutes left in the game.

"Morgan. Nicole. I'm home," I heard my mom's usual call whenever she came back home.

"Hey," I said without turning around, then took a sip of my gatorade.

Soon, Morgan followed by her mind-numbingly dumb friends came out of the kitchen and greeted her. "Heyyy," they said, almost at the same time.

My mom set down a couple bags on the couch next to me and gave me a kiss on the head. "Okay, guys. It's time for y'all to go. These two have to getup early tomorrow," I heard her say as the door opened and the house became.quiet again.

"Thank the lord," I mumbled and watched Lebron make a three. I nodded my head in satifaction.

"I got you girls a couple of things from the store that I thought you might need," Mom said. She sat next to me on the couch and started going through the bags.

Morgan walked over and sat next to me. I kept staring at the tv screen. "Like what?"

She took out some pads and tampons along with toothbrushes and toothpaste. I could've screamed. "Ewww mom," I said as I knocked the feminine products off of the couch.

"Don't ewww me, Nikki. Their the same ones you've been using for years." Mom said. Morgan chuckled.

"Yeah, but-" I was cut off by the sound of the buzzer going off. I looked at the screen just in time to see Dwayne making a perfect jump shot, giving them the point they needed to win. I jumped up and did a little victory dance.
