Chapter 12: He Know

Hey y'all, here's a lil something. The "Continuance" That Y'all Wanted. What's crazy is I hadn't noticed that we don't necessarily keep going.. Unless There's A Part 2.  We're thinking about improving our writing style. Maybe. Shouts Outs to Anonymous(s) Enjoy.

                                                                                                                       Cooncerely,

“Micaiah, are you ready? The girls should be here any moment now.” Carol yelled from down stairs. It was about a quarter before 7 and the excitement of this trip had Micaiah up and ready. He began packing earlier this morning as soon as he hung up with Nicki. Even following her instructions to bring all his electronics. Two weeks’ worth of clothes in his suit case, a half empty back pack that would be his carry on, and a duffle bag full of play things all lay on his bed. He went through a mental check list. Although Nicki wouldn’t hesitate to buy him whatever he forgot, to avoid her “appreciation” speech he double checked. Feeling like he was still missing something, he scanned his room. Remembering that he didn’t pack any extra shoes, he grabbed a couple pairs and stuffed them into his duffle. Now where did I put my PSP? He pondered. It usually sat on his night stand but when his father showed up yesterday he made sure nothing small and portable was sitting out in plain view. It wasn’t like he had personally been a victim of things coming up missing, well, in no instances he could recall, but the stories he overheard Jelani and Nicki tell made him cautious. Just as he found his PSP in the back of the second drawer of his night stand, the door bell rung.

“Hey, Mrs. Maraj.” Lauren and Candi said in unison, Candi extending her arms for a hug.

          “Hello girls.” Carol said, as she embraced her daughter’s friend.

          “It’s been too long.” Candi admitted.

          “Yes Candice, it has.” Carol agreed, letting her go.

          “You just don’t age.” Lauren complimented.

          “Child please, but thank you.” Carol replied.

They briefly conversed with each other which quickly became Carol asking questions about Nicki and them giving her answers Nicki would approve. When Carol asked how Safaree was doing Candi and Lauren tensed up. It wasn’t unusual, but the fact that they held information that would give her joy and disappoint her at the same time made them uneasy. Luckily Micaiah finally made his way down the stairs.

          “There’s Pork Chop.” Lauren teased. Only Nicki thinks she’s funny. Micaiah thought to himself.

          “Be quiet, Hungry.” Micaiah shot back. Candi laughed. “Hi Candi.”

          “Sup CaiCai.” Candi responded.

          “Nobody calls me that anymore.” Micaiah informed her. Candi’s eyebrows rose in shock.

          “Oh, well what would you like me to call you then?” Candi asked. Boo, baby, daddy, which ever you prefer. He thought.

          “Just Micaiah is cool.” He answered trying to be nonchalant.

          “Umm kay, Micaiah is cool.” Candi teased as she gave him a big hug. Micaiah inhaled her scent. She smells so sweet. He thought. The irony made him laugh out loud.

          “So when Candi teases you, it’s funny, but when I do it I get insulted.” Lauren pointed out.

          “Girls, have something to eat before you leave.” Carol offered from the kitchen.

          “We’d love to, but if we’re gonna make our flight, we need to get going.” Candi said.

          “Oh yes, don’t want to miss it. Come here Micaiah.” She ordered.

          “Yeah? I mean, yes?” He asked, while entering the kitchen.

          “Behave. Stay with Onika, Safaree, or the girls. And don’t make me have to come out there and get you.” She said sternly.

          “Yes ma’am.” He said. Geeze, I’m not a baby. He thought.

They said their goodbyes, then made their way to LaGuardia Airport. The flight went smoothly. Micaiah kept himself occupied for an hour with his games but the lack of sleep took over the last 3. When they arrived at LAX, Martin was waiting at the gate. They collected Micaiah’s luggage before heading to the car. On the way to Nicki’s they stopped at Burger King because Micaiah was starving and wanted to get something for Nicki.

          As soon as Martin opened the door, Micaiah darted past everyone, straight towards Nicki’s room. He opened her door and ran to the side she usually slept on.

          “Sissy.” Micaiah whispered. He knew she hated to be startled awake. “Sissy.” He said again, this time a bit louder. He was getting impatient. Nicki gently stirred. He tapped her on her shoulder until she woke up and rolled over. She opened her eyes to see a wide eyed Micaiah. At first she wondered why, until the air kick on and she felt the draft. She quickly checked to see if she was fully covered. She sighed in relief when she saw that only a little cleavage was exposed. She pulled the cover up.

          “Lamb Chop, why didn’t you knock?” Nicki asked groggily. When he didn’t respond, she reopened her eyes to see what he was doing. He still seemed to be frozen. “Boy, you act like I don’t have this cover on.” She added, adjusting the cover some more. An ‘Umph’ startled her causing her to sit up. It was S.B. grunting because Nicki was hogging the cover. Her face flushed with heat. Now that she knew what had her liddo Lamb Chop stuck, she felt embarrassed, ashamed, and disappointed with herself. She flopped back down and pulled the cover over her head. How could she explain or even begin to justify why she was naked and lying in bed with a guy, let alone Safaree. Her guilty thoughts were interrupted when she felt a light tug on the covers. Peeking from underneath, she saw Micaiah holding a BK Crown towards her.

          “Here, Nicki.” He said with a half smile. “A crown fit for a worthy Queen.” Nicki chuckled and leaned her head towards him so he could place it on her head.

          “Thanks, Caiah. She said sincerely. That’s why you’re my Lamb Chop.” She rubbed his head.

          “I know.” He said proudly. “Food’s in the kitchen. I’ll show ‘em my new Wii game so Safaree can go to his room.” He added as he left.
