With demanding careers on both ends, Nicki and her boyfriend, NBA Youngboy, aren't always home to take care of their six year old son, Jeremiah. By Nicki being in the medical field and Youngboy in the music industry, they don't have much time for fa...
I heard a snap go off, making me peek up. Ki had his phone out, camera pointed at me. "What're you doing?"I asked with a half smirk. "Nothing."He smirked evilly.
I stared at him. "You better not be taking pictures of me."I giggled.
"Too late."He mumbled and plopped down beside me. I checked the last app he was on, Instagram. I looked at a new story he just posted. It was a picture of me.

"You play too much."I turned his phone off. We sat there kissing intimately until his phone went off, stopping us. There was a text from a contact titled "BM👶🏾". Baby mama, I'm guessing.
It read: Kalea just laid down for her nap. Come through
"Whose that?"I asked even though the name gave it away. "My baby mama."He replied dryly. "You didn't tell me you had a kid."I furrowed my eyebrows.
"I actually got... three kids."
"Kiari, what the fuck?!"I yelled and pushed him away from me.
"What? They from past relationships."
I side eyed him. "Kalea is my daughter and I have two sons."He filled me in.
I couldn't even be mad at him. Him coming clean about his kids opened up a whole new conversation. He told me about his kids' mothers, how his relationships with them were and about the kids. He even showed me pictures of them. We had a long talk about it just to be on the safe side.
"Well, since we're having a moment of truth right now, I have to tell you something too."
"Spill it. I'm listening."
"Okay well first, I'm bisexual."
"What in the hell..."He mumbled.
"You have some homophobic lyrics in one of your songs that's why I didn't want to tell you. But I'm telling you now and I'm hoping you accept me for me because that's who I really am."I confessed. I knew it'd be a hard pill for him to swallow.
He looked away from me for a second but caught my gaze. "Really bruh?"
"Yes."I nodded. "I love girls. Girls are beautiful. I love guys. Guys are handsome."I cracked up laughing but he had a straight face which made me stop laughing.
"It's gonna take me a while but ima accept it. Gimme some time to process it."
"You still want to be with me? It's totally fine if you don't."
"Yeah, I still wanna be with you. I just need time to think about that."
I wasn't going to tell him about Nicki this time around. I won't drop two big bombs on him back to back. He'll have to digest this one before I give him another dose of my other life.
"Let's get back to this song though. It's hot."He tried to change the subject and I went with it. I wasn't going to pressure him into accepting it. He'd accept it on his own time, not on my time. And I respect that.
Nic😘: imysm😩
Me:I miss you two kitten
Nic😘: kitten? Ooh I like that, purr🐱
Me:😂😂
I put my phone away and focused on the instrumental Ki was playing for me.
"Louisiana is so very small. Ever thought about expanding your horizons?"Kiari asked me. "I never thought about leaving Louisiana, why?"I looked up at him.
"There's nothing here for you, to be completely honest. You need to be somewhere big, living it up. Like Miami or LA or New York."
"New York is number two for rat problems. Chicago being number one, says the internet."I shot back. "It's too hot in LA. My family used to go there before we fell into a poverty era."I added.
"Miami it is. You don't have to make the decision right now. Just think about it. Moving could change your life for the better."
"I don't know."
"Sleep on it."
He took me home to Nicki. She and I talked about her day at work, how Jeremiah's day at school was and how I was doing with music.
I laid down with her that night and had her purring like a real kitty cat.
While she was asleep, I couldn't shut my eyes for nothing. Thoughts of Offset lingered my mind.
He wanted me to uproot and move away from everything I've ever known here in Louisiana. I mean, I've never been to Miami a day in my life. What over there, could have my days looking up that Louisiana doesn't ?
Should Cardi follow her new dreams to Miami and leave everything behind? Or should she stay locked in Louisiana?
