Rihanna's P.O.V
I woke up to Nadine's loud screams, her little footsteps prancing around the house like she was being chased.
"If you don't quit this attitude I'm not bringing you!" I hear Nicki yell from a distance.
"No mamaaa!" Nadine cries. Next thing I know she busts through my door making me sit upwright.
Honestly I'm tired of her little ass thinking it's cool to just come in the room without knocking.
I lost count in the amount of times I've warned her to knock.
"Mommy!" She cries snot driping from her nose.
A third of her hair was braided while the other remained a frizzy mess.
"Mommy, mommy!" She repeats. Tapping me like her life depended on it.
"I'm up baby, why you crying?" A yawn slips in my attempt to stretch.
I pay the price when tugging on my arm after completly forgetting it's wound.
"Mama keep ripping my heir" She sniffs as her face scrunches into an angry pout.
"It looks beautiful, why you ain't let her finish?" I pull her up on my lap.
"Because she keeps brushing hard and she be mean to me" A sob escapes her mouth as I cradled her back and fourth.
"I'm sure your mama ment no harm, she just wants you to look your best all while protecting your hair" Nadine huffs.
I know how tender headed Nadine can be so there's really not much I can do to help.
"Well she not my fwiend no more!" I suppress a laugh.
"Who's not your friend?" Nicki walks in. She looks beautiful as ever.
She wore a musturd yellow ribbed dress that covered everything from her neck all the way down to her arms.
Her hair was straightened and she had on light makeup with glossed lips.
"Damn..." I whispered to myself as she walked over to us. It's like that dress was made just for her, it hugged her curves tightly and amplified each sway of the hips as she walked.
"I don't want to mama!" Once again Nadine's cry snaps me back into reality.
She kicked and screamed in Nicki's attempt to pull her off my lap. "She's stressing me out Rih, I'm done trying" Nicki throws her hands up while walking back.
She looked defeated and upset as Nadine grasped my body for the life of her.
"Nadine let mama finish your hair? Why you giving her a hard time?" I nudge the toddler as she hid her face in the crook of my neck.
"No she hurt me!"
"I get that but you gotta be a big girl and tough it out. Everyone has to get their hair done at one point, even me and sometimes it hurts but I know it'll be worth it at the end"
"I promise I'll be more gentle baby just let me finish" Nicki sighs sitting beside me as she pushed Nadine's fro from her face.
"...I'm sorry if I hurt you" Nadine sniffs before replying.
"It's okay mama"
Nicki smiles. "Can I get a hug?" Without much hesitation Nadine jump on Nicki making them both fall back on the bed.
They giggle it off before renewing their friendship. "You only have 6 or seven more braids to go. Can I finish it?" Nicki questions.
Putting on her thinking face Nadine taps her chin. "Hmmmm.." She hums.
