Second Chance

Chapter three

We excused ourselves into the hall. Standing at only 5'2 with her hands on her hips, Nicki glared up at me. Three years later and the hurt and anguish still showed on her face.
Nicki: yes, rihmeek?
Meek: I miss you calling me that.
Nicki: -irritated- what do you want Meek?!
Meek: damn Nic, after 3 years that's how you talk to me? I don't deserv-gco
Nicki: you don't deserve me to even be in your presence right now! So what do you want? I need to get back inside...
Meek: I miss you Nic! I miss us and I want that back!
Nicki: you're three years too late... Bye Meek.
Nicki turns to head back inside.. But before she got to the handle. Meek grabs her arm and pulls her into a soul searing kiss. "Why not Rihmeek?" He asked. "Tell me you don't miss me? Tell me you didn't feel nothing? Tell me..." Meek questioned.
Nick's face flushed red. She was discombobulated. It was then I knew she still felt the same.

"Why now?!" Nicki screamed at me. Throwing wild punches at my chest. "Where were you when I needed you?! You promised Rihmeek! You promised, and you weren't there! I waited a year for you and you never called, texted, or came!" She screamed as the hot tears poured down her face. She continued swinging violently. I pulled her close and in between stroking and kissing her long dark hair, I whispered, "I'm sorry Nic... I'm so sorry!" I pulled her chin upwards til her eyes found mine, and captured her lips again. I flicked my tongue across her bottom lip to gain access, which she granted. Our tongues engaged in a hungry tongue war that I never wanted to end, but it did, because Nick pulled back and inched backwards.... Until she reached the door. She walked through it and walked away....

Damn, not again. I walked back into the studio. Only this time there weren't as many people. It was just the chasers, sherika, and rozay. Nic was in the corner fiddling with her fingers. Tak looked up when he heard the door close... He and sherika both motioned toward the corner and said "come holla." I walked to the corner and Rika immediately asked started talking... "I know you didn't think she was just going to forgive you?! You left her on pins and needles after some hoe you was fucking disrespected her! No Nic shouldn't have run but we all know that's what she does! It was your fuck up so you were supposed to make it right... 3 years ago Meek!" Now you just waltz in and think shits going to be all peachy keen... It's not! She's in a new stage in her life! All this is new to her! She's not the same Nicki, she's been through some shit... And when she needed you, you weren't there! Too busy chasing hoes, to chase the one girl who loves you more than anything... But you too blind and too stupid to see it!" She whispered to me harshly! "She cried on Tak and Omelly's shoulders. They did your job. You never once even called to check on her!" You could see the anger in Rika's eyes. So much that she started crying... "You weren't there the night we found her, you weren't there!" Rika shook violently as tears filled her eyes.

I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I damn sure was going to find out. "Onika, my car, NOW!" I said sternly and walked out the door.
