Love Bites

Ch. 5

Onika// Nicki

I step out of the car that drove us to my moms new place. I practically sprint to the door and bang loudly and frantically on it.

"Hol yo muhfuckin ass on!" I hear my mom shout on the other side. I let go of a breath I didn't realize I was holding. My mom swings the door open with a frown on her face until she sees it's us. "Oh, hi, babies!" My mom smiles big and brings me in for a big hug.

"Oh, hi, my ass, mother." I snap, still angry at her for keeping me in the dark. She smacks the back of my head hard as shit, and I hear everyone's stifled laughter. "Ma! Stop!"

I walk in but stop when I don't hear anyone behind me. "The fuck you guys waiting for me? Come in." I roll my eyes. I'm not in a very good mood, obviously. Not only is my moms pissin me the fuck off, but Rih won't come within two feet of me since she left the room, she's constantly on the opposite side of me no matter where we at. I had to have Mani heal me.

"Uh, we can't come in unless Mama C invites us in." Shawn says, scratching the back of his neck. Welp, I didn't know. I just shrug my shoulders and continue inside the house

"Come on in, everyone." My mom continues hugging and greeting everyone she knows while being introduced to those she doesn't.

"What's up her ass?" My mom asks the siblings. I snap my head in her direction and glare at her.

"What's up my ass? What's up my ass?" I scoff and shake my head. "You are my mother! If not anyone else, I should be able to at least depend on you to tell me shit and not keep me in the dark!" My moms face softens as she sits beside me. I mentally roll my eyes and lay back on the couch.

"Baby, I will apologize for not telling you more of the other supernaturals in the world, but I never thought it necessary. And I know its its not right or fair, but I'm grown and strong and don't think i have an obligation to tell you about the person who hurt Tina. I can take care of myself. Plus, if I told you, I knew you'd not only turn down the opportunity to work with these amazing people, but you'd also blame yourself if something happened to me. Now, you can help me protect the house. Bey already said she's gonna be leaving a few of her people with me, so I'm fine. What I want from you is to protect them. Not me. I mean it, Onika. I'm okay. I'll call or text every day." I wipe a tear that goes down my cheek and softly shake my head.

I hate that my moms right. I would've turned down being in Texas. But I vow on everything I love, I'm gon find the bastard who is doing this.

Robyn // Rihanna

We get back on the plane, and Nicki goes straight back to the room in the back. She doesn't say anything to any of us, she didn't even really say goodbye to her mom. Her mom said she's not good with emotional shit and to give her time. She hasn't tried talking to me or coming near me since we got to her moms place. I'm happy about it, but it also makes me feel kinda bad that I'm not being 100% fair to her.

I walk over and sit down by Bey. I place my head on her shoulder and grab her hand, and she places her head on top of mine as we lace our fingers together.

"So you gon tell me what happened between you and Mani's sexy ass?" I hear her chuckle softly before wiping one of her free hand down her face.

"I promise you nothings happened. We kicked it one night a couple weeks back and have been chill since." She shrugs her shoulders and smiles at me.

"You wanna fuck ha?" I wiggle my eyebrows and smirk.

She laughs and pushes my head off her shoulder. "Nah, nothin like that." I can tell she's lying by the rose tinted cheeks
