ONIKA

"Nicki!" Jade yelled snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?!" Here lately my mind keeps wondering off and that's not like me. I'm usually more sharp and focused.

"We're here." She said gesturing to the building in front us. I scanned the large building and grew nervous but there's no turning back now.

"Oh ok. How do I look?" I asked checking myself in the mirror.

"For the millionth time you look great. Noe go in there and see your girl." Today was a big day. I get to see Beyonce for the first time in weeks then Jade and I are going down to Cuba to see Alex for her birthday.

After going through sercuity, being patted down and being ID'd I was finally one step closer to seeing my baby. A guard lead me down a dimly lit hallway. The hallway lead to a visiting room that resembled an elementary school lunch room.

"Have a seat and your love one will be out shortly." I sat at a rusty round table off to the side and waited for Beyonce to arrive.

"Knowles you have a vistor." One of the male guards said into the waiting room. I watched as they took off her hand cuffs and lead her to me. As soon as she saw me her face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Baby what are you doing here?" She asked surprised. She wore a lime green jumpsuit with the top tied around her waist. Her hair was up with a few stray pieces resting on her neck and back. How did she manage to remain so beautiful even in this ugly situation.

"What chu mean? I came to see you." I smiled. I got up from the table to embrace her in a hug and peck her lips.

"Usually new inmates don't get visitation." She said as we took a seat.

"I pulled a few strings." Usually inmates have to wait 6 months to get visitation rights.

"Onika." Here she go. I've been here 2 seconds and I'm already about to get in trouble.

"Legally." I defended myself with my hands up. Blackmail is legal right?

"Mhm. How's my babies doing?" She asked referring to Juju and Alex.

"Juju is doing good. He was sick last week but he's recovering. After I leave here Jade and I are going down to Cuba to surprise Alex for her birthday. She got straight A's so we're doing anything she wants." I have a huge surprise set up for her and I can't wait to see the look on her face.

"Well thats good. Tell her happy birthday and I'm proud of her. Hows my big baby doing?" She asked pinching my cheeks.

"I'm hanging in there. I miss you." I admitted as I held her hand rubbing her knuckles with my thumb.

"I miss you too." She spoke softly before pecking my lips several times. I missed the feeling of her butter soft lips against mine.

"Aye cut that out or you have to leave." One of the guards warned. I turned and gave him a look, and with that he turned his head and put his hands up. I turned back to Beyonce and our mini make out session exploring the inside of her mouth with my tongue. Before things went to far I pulled away with one more peck.

"So hows everything going with my appeal?" Beyonce asked out of breath as she used her thumb to wipe her lip.

"Its not going the way I want but we're making progress. I'm trying to have you home in 6 months or less." I didn't want to get her hopes up but I'm doing EVERYTHING in my power to get her home before Christmas.

"Nika thats impossible." It is impossible but I have to try.

"To some but not me." I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
