Good Life (COMPLETED) BOOK 3

Chapter 4

A/N Wow, this story is going a lot better than I thought it would and a lot better than the sequel did, so I guess I'll finish it, contrary to my previous statement. 🤷 So, enjoy this book that has a quite a mystery-filled future. 🤗

6 months later

Normani wakes up to hear the twins crying, so she immediately rubs her eyes before looking at the alarm clock.

4:53 am

"Perfect," She says to herself, before getting out of bed to tend to her crying twins. She breastfeeds them, before going to take a shower.

Right after she gets out of the shower, she gets a call from her mother, which she immediately answers. "Hey sweetie,"

"Why are you up?" Normani asks.

"I should be asking you the same question," Andrea replies.

"I had to get up and get ready for work,"

"What happened to the money in your bank account that she gave to you?" Andrea asks.

"Who?"

Andrea hesitates to answer this question, because even speaking Vanessa's name would set Normani off into waterworks that would last for a week at the absolute minimum. "...You know...before she left with Ally...,"

"Oh, her....," Normani says, before sighing. "I'm working because I want the money to stay there."

"No you aren't, you're working to get your mind off of Va--her because you miss her," Andrea says.

"Why do you think that?" Normani asks.

Andrea lightly chuckles. "I know you Mani. I gave birth to you 23 years ago, and I'm pretty sure I know how my baby girl acts,"

"What does she have to do with anything? You always bring her up like I don't have a life outside of her," Normani says.

"I hate to say this, but you kind of don't," Andrea says. "Think about it, you did so much for her and she did so much for you-"

Normani immediately cuts her mom off. "-Can we not talk about this right now? I'm already in a bad mood and the day just started,"

"You acted so much better when you were getting dicked down," Arielle says.

"Really?" Andrea chuckles.

"Thanks Captain Obvious," Normani says.

"Any time," Arielle says.

"Well, I don't want to make you late, so I'll call you later, okay?" Andrea asks.

"Okay," Normani says. "I love you mom."

"I love you too honey,"

"Find some dick today!" Arielle exclaims.

"Go to hell!" Normani laughs, before hanging up.

Normani's POV

I'm sitting on my bed, wasting time, before Vanessa creeps into my mind.

Damn, I really miss my baby.

If she was here, I wouldn't be up this early, I wouldn't be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, and I most definitely wouldn't be having this dry spell.

Like it's clockwork, the bracelet on my arm vibrates. I smile, pressing the bracelet so it vibrates again.

"I miss my baby!" I groan aloud.

"Mommy?" A sleepy Alayna enters the room, rubbing her eyes.

I couldn't help but lightly chuckle, picking her up. "Why you up princess?"
