Her Wife And Kids

Sixteen

Nicki's P.O.V

It's been two days since I've last seen Rih or even heard from her for that matter.

Every last minute has been like hell with unpleasant thoughts constantly flooding my mind.

I can barely focus at work, there would be times where I'd be in the middle of teaching a lesson then I'd think about my wife and completely forget what I was talking about.

This happened so often that even the students suspected something was wrong. Of course I just brushed it off and told them it's because of my old age.

Even though being in your 30s isn't that old but to preteens it's pretty old.

Lost in thought I sat in our room again waking up to the other side of the bed being as empty as how I feel inside.

I sat there for a good thirty minutes till I was withdrawn from my thoughts due to the abrupt knocking on my door.

"Come in" I said clearing my throat in the process.

"Hey sissy!!" Jaiah my little sister said as she ran full speed and jumped on my bed.

Because I was at the edge I ascended from the bed and fell face flat on the floor.

"Ouch, here let me help you out" Jaiah cackled. Getting up I glared at her, she's always hurting somebody when she's around.

Just last year she took me roller skating, it was my first time ever doing so. I was nervous as hell and depended on her to help me skate since she was a pro.

It was fun at first, that was until she held my hands spinning us around in circles.

She eventually let go thinking I got the hang of it. The second I noticed I had nothing to balance on I panicked and started wobbling before my ankle turned in an awkward way causing me to land an excruciating fall.

That day I left the skating rank with a sprained ankle and bruised elbow, and opted to never skate again let alone let Jaiah assist me in any sport.

"You're fine" Jaiah said waving me off.

"Deadass you're always hurting me, who even let you in?" I questioned. Zisel was at soccer practice and Ida left to go to the mall with her friends.

"I got my ways" She simpered.

I rolled my eyes and walked over to the closet and changed because I was in nothing but a robe.

Gray joggers and a T-shirt, that's all I'm going to wear since it's a Saturday and I have nowhere to go.

"Anywaysss I need a small favor from you" Jaiah says, I pause for a second.

"What is it?" I walked out the closet watching her play with my wedding ring.

"Ok so Ceaser and I broke things off last night and he kicked me out and I sorta kinda am homeless that's unless my good, beautiful, better half, generous Queen, five foot three not five foot two sister let's me stay at her place just until I can get a place of my own" Jaiah nervously smiled with pleading hands.

"...Jaiah how many times are you gonna do this. I been told you to leave that boy, y'all are always on and off and to make things even worse you still don't have your own place, twenty-six. You need to stop messing with these boys and find yourself a man wh-"

She cut me off "Ok stop, now you're starting to sound just like mom and dad. All I'm asking for is a place to stay Nicki. Please I promise I'm going to be out of your hair before you know it" She said

I sighed. "Fine, Jaiah this is the last time" I said pointing my finger at her.

"Yayyyyy, thank you so much!!" Jaiah cheered clapping her hands.
