Dance for me

Day later...

"Naelean! Get over here now!" I barked at her as she tried pulling something down from the fruit shelves She looked at me then went back to what she was doing. I walked over to her.

"I'm getting about tired of you" I said once I was by her. I snatched her up and put her in the cart. I popped her leg.

"Listen when I talk to you" her lips started to quiver. Then she started crying loud. I sighed and kept pushing the cart to the next aisle. I reached to where the cereal was and looked around for the cereal I liked. Sadly it was on the top shelve and I don't walk around with heels. I tried reaching up for it but it was almost impossible. The more I reached the higher it seemed.

"Need help shawty" I heard behind me. I knew the voice but didn't bother to put it with a face.

"Um no thanks" I tried to reach it.

"Can't have you struggling there's not enough pretty girls in the world, would hate to lose one" The guy Grabbed the box of Captain Crunch I was reaching for and handed it to me. I noticed the tattoo on his hand and knew instantly who it was. I turned around to see Millions smile dropped when he saw me but then came back quickly.

"Wow that's a good pick up line ya know but thanks" I said taking the box from him.

"Yeah I know. I am Millions" he said cockily popping his collar I rolled my eyes.

"What are you doing here anyways?" I asked

"Grocery shopping" A guy like him shopping for his own food? That had to be bullshit but I noticed the cart filled of supplies and food right next to him.

"Where's Naelean" I squinted my eyes at him.

"You've grew some type of bond with my child Millions? But she's right here." I moved so that the cart was in view. Naelean eyes were puffy and her nose was running. I hated when she cries, even if she was crying lightly her eyes turn red and puff up. I put the box of cereal in the cart.

"Imma call child services on you...Hi NiNi Mommy abusing you?" He took Naelean out of the cart. Naelean wrapped onto him quickly.

"But anyways... we should be on our way. I still have to get ready for work" I said.

"Oh ok...bye NiNi" I took her from Millions and put her back in the cart.

"Bye Millions"

"Call me Rihmeek everyone calls me Millions at work" I nodded and smiled.

"Ok so bye Rihmeek"

"And bye..." he waited for me to finish his sentence

"You can call me Onika"

"Bye Nika" I smiled at the nickname and walked out of the aisle getting a few more things before going to checkout. The cashier scanned all my thing and bagged them and just when I was about to pull out my wallet she stopped me.

"No need for that a gentlemen paid for all of your stuff earlier" I was a bit confused.

"Who may I ask?"

"A guy named Millions I believe" I rolled my eyes. I pulled out a Twenty and handed it to the cashier.

"For your hard work. Thank you." I said. I strolled out of the store and called up a Uber.
......

"Hi Analease do you mind watching Naelean tonight for me?" I asked through the phone. I heard coughing coming from the other line.

"Oh ok. I hope he gets better. Thank you" I said hanging up. Her husband was sick and she didn't want Naelean exposed to the environment which I agree with. I sighed and called the number Millions gave me at my orientation. On the fourth ring someone answered.
