Chapter 39
One Year Later....
|Nicole " NiNi " Thomas|
Since I'm off today I can catch y'all up. A lot had happened in a year. For one I have my associate's degree in nursing. I learned that earning an ADN is the most popular option for registered nurses. It opens the door to entry-level staff nurse positions, which will provide me with hands-on experience in the medical field. I was honestly proud of myself and I was looking forward to working on my bachelor's.
Since I'm already an RN, I enrolled in an RN-to-BSN program which is geared specifically for RNs who have an associate's degree or nursing diploma. I work at the local hospital part-time, because I have London, and family is important.
Speaking on London, she just celebrated her first birthday a few days ago. London always smiles and laughs. She's a daddy's girl, of course. Mikhail loves her more then anything in the world. We make sure we spend as much time together because the season is about to start and I know Mikhail will be traveling. I'm a little sad about being a basketball girlfriend because he's going to be traveling a lot, but I'm not going to let that ruin what we have. We've been through too much to let something come between us.
Mikhail got drafted earlier then expected, he is the youngest on the team, and in his last year of school. His major is business and pre-law. My baby wants to be a lawyer. I support whatever decision he makes.
"Nicole!" Mikhail yells coming in the house. Yup we also bought our first house. We rent out the condo to this married couple, so that's extra money coming in. We have a four bedroom, three bathroom house. I didn't want to overdo it, so we got us something that'll fit the three of us. It's in a gated community, they have good schools for the kids, so when I'm working London is at daycare at the hospital or either at this primary school that I found.
"What Mikhail?" I asked drying my hands. He walked into the kitchen with London in his arms.
"Mama!" She giggled. I grabbed her and kissed her cheek.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said putting London down.
Shit I felt like a real housewife.
I cook, clean, work, make sure London is taken care of, make sure I meet Mikhail's needs, sexually, physically, and emotionally. I still make time for myself so I don't get overwhelmed. I always take care of home first, because I'll be damned if I let anyone else do it.
"What you cooking?" Mikhail asked.
"Lasagna." I glanced at him.
"Go get out of your practice clothes. I'm about to do some laundry while the food cooks, and clean up a bit." I said.
"You sure? I can help too, you know?" I smiled up at him.
"I know, but you do enough."
"Not as much as you." He said. He walked out the kitchen heading to our bedroom with London following right behind him. I swear them two are inseparable.

I made my way up to our bedroom. I could hear London little footsteps behind me.
"Dada, up!" She pouted.
"Daddy has to shower first, okay?"
"Otay hwurry." She said. I placed her on the bed and turned on the TV for her. I stripped out of my clothes and threw them in the dirty clothes basket. I turned the hot water on and watch it cascade down. I stepped in feeling the hot water hit my body.
