Dreams Worth More Than Money

Chapter Fourty Six

Nicki POV

"Mommy, what are you cooking?" She asked as she ate her sandwich

"Fried chicken" I said pouring her some juice

"Fried chicken?" She asked

"Yes, fried chicken babygirl"

"You put the chicken in the fries?" She asked

"No"

"Oh you put the fries in the chicken" she said

Is she really my daughter?

"No Ayanna, fried chicken has nothing to do with fries" I explain

"Why they call it a fries chicken if it don't have fries?" She asked

"Because we fry it in cooking oil that's why"

She shook her head

"What?"

"It not right"

"What's not right?"

"The fries chicken"

"It's fried chicken not fries chicken babygirl"

"Mama fries the chicken and fries together" she said

"You want me to fry fries and the chicken together?"

She nodded

Imagine a 4 year old teaching a grown ass woman like me to cook

"Okay I'll do that babygirl, when you're done eating I want you to go to the living room and take ya books with you" I said and she nodded

After she was done eating I put her down and she went to the living room I went outside where Meek was washing his cars

"Hey shawty" he said as he splashed some water on his abs

"Hi Meek" I said leaning against the wall watching him trying to be impressive

"You know if you break a bone I ain't taking you to the doctor" I said

"I got Ayanna I know she'll take me" he dropped the sponge and came to me

He picked me up and pinned me against the wall he attacked me with a kiss he nibbled on my neck

"Noo Meek stop" I moaned pushing him away

"Why?"

"Cause we're outside people can see us" he kissed my forehead

"Ard" he said

"Ayanna wants me to fry chicken and fries together" I told him

"What in the hell?" He asked confused

"She thinks fried chicken is made when you put the chicken in the fries" I explained

"Her black ass must be high" he said putting me down

"So I'm asking, should I try it?"

"I ain't eating it"

"I'm just asking since ya daughter became a chef overnight"

"Don't listen to her crazy ass, now you gon' let me fuck you in public or not?" He asked getting closer

"No I'll pass"

"C'mon it'll be quick" he said feeling on me

"Noo no no no" I removed his hands and went back inside

Ayanna looked at me

"Mama fry the chicken and the fries?" She asked

"Yes ma'am"

Today it was Meek's mom's funeral and me and my family were slaying it Ayanna was wearing this fancy black dress that Meek brought her yesterday with black sandals she had this cute bun and her edges were nicely laid by me I was wearing a nice black dress that stopped right before my knees with red bottoms the sleeves were made of lace and my Meeky was wearing a black suit with a touch of red and white thee Royal couple

We were sitting in this hot ass church listening to the pastor speak about this evil woman like she was an Angel Ayanna was playing a game on Meek's phone Meek had his hand on my thigh the choir was singing so loudly  causing it to be hotter in here even though they sang nicely

Na was crying her eyes out and Meek's family

"Mama why they crying?" Ayanna asked

"They are sad" I said

"Why you and daddy not sad?"

"I don't know" I shrugged

"They make many noises" she said

"Yeah they do make a lotta noise" I said agreeing with her

It was finally time to go to the cemetery and of course black people love drama Meek's family members cried historically I put on my shades Na fell down and started kicking and screaming

"This some ghetto shit" Meek whispered

She cried

"Mama! Why did you leave me?" She screamed

"Mama pick her up" Ayanna said looking at her with so much concern

They helped her up they carried the coffin to the hearse and we all got in our cars we got to the cemetery they sang and Na made a scene again Meek's side of the family cried historically

After all the cries and pretending like they lost an Angel we went to their house and had lunch the food wasn't that bad after that they had a "family meeting"

We had to stay behind and listen to all their nonsense and commands Ayanna was sitting on Meek's grandma's lap playing with Meek's phone Denim fell asleep on top of me so I let her sleep

"We must now come together as a family and stand together since we have lost out pillar of strength" some lady said

Meek rolled his eyes

"We will be handed a duty so we can keep this family going" Meek's uncle said

"Please don't involve me in that shit I ain't a part of this family"

Ayanna gasped

"Daddy say the bad word, mama pop him" she said

I put my index fingers over my mouth telling her to keep quiet

"Robert you are part of this family, whether you like it or not" a lady with a man voice spoke up

"Listen here Rebecca I won't repeat this, I ain't part of this family" he said getting fired up

"Meek don't do this" I said

He calmed down

"So Nasheema you make sure that everything is in order, everyone is taken care of, Shania you will be responsible for her church duties and Robert you will buy the groceries and pay the bills" this woman read a list

He chuckled and looked away

"I would like Meek to help in paying some of the insurances we have" Na said

Meek looked at her

"I ain't paying for nothing, y'all never wanted me and never treated me like part of this family so I ain't paying for nothing" he said

"Robert I'm your aunt you have to listen to me and do as I say" she yelled

"I ain't young no more, the Robert you sexually abused died a longtime ago" he said with anger

A few people gasped

"C'mon Nic let's go" he said standing up"

I carefully laid Denim where Meek and I were sitting Ayanna got off grandma's lap and waved at everybody

"Bye bye" she waved with a smile

We got in the car and went home the whole ride was quiet
