Voyage to Atlantis

Chapter 6

Lacey and Nikki rode past the park in Mile's car, bumping You by Lloyd. Miles was at his place with the baby and they were supposed to be going straight to the store and back but of course Nikki had to do a detour. Whenever she got in Miles drivers seat, she liked to ride around and make all the girls who liked Miles jealous. Lacey usually let her go by herself, but since she hadn't seen her since last week when Case came to visit her, she needed to update her on what happened.

"So you never told me about what happened when ol boy came by," Nikki said, bringing it up first.

"He straight up denied me, Nik."

"What do you mean, denied you?"

Lacey proceeded to tell Nikki about her embarrassing moment. Lacey's face felt hot just thinking about it. She could still feel Cases lips on hers. She missed his kisses a lot. She hadn't even talked to him since the night he left. She figured he was probably done with her.

Nikki glanced at Lacey before laughing hard. Lacey sucked her teeth and crossed her arms under her chest.

"Its not that funny, hoe."

"Yes it is!" Nikki said, laughing harder. "Man, I wish I could have seen you begging."

"I wasnt begging."

"Yeah right!" Nikki said, trying to control her laughter. "Have yall talked?"

"No."

"Lacey, you probably scared the poor boy," Nikki said, laughing harder. Lacey frowned.

"Take me home."

"Calm down," Nikki said, ignoring Lacey's anger. "Have you called him?"

"Once," she said. "He didnt answer."

"Is that Kyan?"

Lacey looked out the window, squinted before nodding. Kyan was an old friend of Lacey and Nikkis. He was a junior when they came in their freshman year. He made sure none of the upperclassmen dogged them out and kept guys at bay. He was annoying at times but he'd buy them lunch and take them places. He was like a big brother.

Nikki pulled over and both of them jumped out of the car. They were lucky to be experiencing 50 degree weather so to them, it was nice out. Lacey had on a gray long sleeve shirt that had Illinois State in pink letters and a pair of faded jeans. Nikki had on a white, long sleeve shirt and some sweat pants from their high school.

"Ky! Where you been?" Nikki said, hugging him first.

"Around, I heard you went and had a kid on me though?" he said, Nikki blushed and pushed him in his shoulder. She pulled out her phone and flashed him a picture of Miles Jr. "I seen that little nigga with Miles when he came and got a hair cut! Didnt know he was yours."

"Dont call my son a little nigga."

"You rude dawg."

Nikki and Lacey looked up to see a guy with dreads standing on the porch as well. Lacey bit her lip at how fine he was to her. His dreads were a little past his shoulders and he was light skin with a bottom row of golds. Lacey always had a think for bad boys.

He pulled a Black and Mild from his lips and smiled at them.

"Yall this is Trig. Trig these my little sisters, Lacole and Nikki."

"Lacey," she corrected him, side eyeing Kyan before looking at Trig. "Is that your real name?"

"Cant be," Nikki said. Trig eyed them as Kyan laughed.
