Emmanuel's perspective:
She thinks she's gonna have fun? She must be mad. She slid off her robe and I swear I could've killed her she was wearing the smallest top. Her cleavage was chatting the most. Nah she's definitely not going.
She got up and went to Siah's crib to see if he was still asleep. He was awake, she picked him up and put him on the bed with toys around him. She started packing up her stuff and putting them in the wardrobe, went to the bathroom and when she came back in the room. I didn't really pay attention until she looked in the mirror. She was wearing grey leggings?
I had to ask her "Where are you actually going?"
"Out. I told you this." She bluntly answered.
"Yeah don't give me attitude. You're not wearing those bottoms. In fact fuck the whole outfit, change."
She looked at me like I smelt like dirty nappies. "No" she was about to leave the room again. I followed her and locked her in the bathroom.
"Oh for fuck sake" She sighed as she pulled down her leggings. "I'll change the bottoms not the top" She added. I was almost mesmerised by what I was seeing. It looked like a sweet snack. I don't know what I could compare it to, something edible and I definitely wanted to eat it.
I know she noticed me looking cos she leaned over the sink claiming her eyelash was wonky but she looked perfect in my opinion. She giggled while pushing past me to get out.
"Im coming to pick you up at 3"
"3? 3am? What do I look like?"
"A scatty babymum"
Her mouth dropped open, she didn't retaliate. She nodded "Oh okay". She flung open her wardrobe door. She started rummaging through her clothes till she found what she was looking for.
She put on some denim thing and I had to look for the rest of it because her bum was hanging out. This better have some sort of attachment because Nelli is not leaving the crib like that.
Jas came in.
"YESS you're skin out. Now I don't look like a hooker on my own."
She was wearing denim shorts too. I couldn't believe my eyes. Im snitching. I texted V to come quick. Nelli was just about to leave but I had to stall.
"I'll drop you guys let me just get the baby" I moved extra slow and it killed enough time. I felt the tension in the corridor all the way in the room.
Vianni and Nelli were arguing hard about her shorts. I was just giggling. I had gone down to the car. They followed shortly after. Nelli was still in the shorts. ffs.
She got in and there was just bare thigh on the seat. And I cannot lie, knowing what was in-between them was doing something to me.
I looked back at Jas. She was playing with Isaiah. Completely avoiding my gaze. I drove to the location Nelli texted to me.
Nelli's perspective
"Okay but why you shouting at me calm down" I shouted back. I looked to the backseat to see if Isaiah was still asleep. He was...
"Stop shouting before you wake him up" Emmanuel said in a lower tone. "But on my life if you leave this car dressed like that Im gonna shoot up your motive" He threatened.
I screwed him cos he wouldn't.
"Whatever Emmanuel. Unlock the door"
"No"
"Why you being silly?"
"Why you being a whore?"
I looked at Jas who was standing outside waiting impatiently for me to get out. I tapped my ear and she nodded. I un did my seatbelt.
I looked at Emmanuel who was just staring ahead. I leaned over him and he pushed me just as I pressed the unlock button. Jas was quick, as soon as she heard the door she swung it open and pulled me out. We ran upstairs, not before kissing Sie goodbye.
This was my first time being out since I've had Sie. I felt like people were staring at me probably wondering where my baby was or something. I hate girls so much the way they look at you like they're above you. Calm down sis, if I slap on the heater your confidence will melt. You're not better than anyone. I shook my head and just went into all the rooms looking for someone to entertain me.
Cj saw us and screamed.
"My bestfriend finally stepped out the crib. Oh my gosh!" He picked me up and spun me around.
"Put me down before we fall." I laughed.
"Ayy Jas I missed you man. You're my drinking partner lets go get lit" He picked her up as he put me down. I readjusted myself and I still felt eyes on me. It was those girls
"Urm Cj who are they?" I asked
"Yeah the way they're staring is pissing me off" Jas added. Cj shook his head and told us to come in the room. All the niggas I went college with were there plus a few others that I didnt know. I scanned the room, urgh. Izzy. Me and Jas shared a mutual look before taking over our corner. We went to the dresser where there were drinks neatly placed on top. We fixed our drinks and sat down.
Cj- Are you man sick? We're taking shots.
Me- This is my first night out Cj why you tryna kill me.
Cj- Fine, you take 3. Me and Jas will take 5
Me- Deal
We did it and Im sorry. I had to take 3 but I tapped out at 2, these two drunks continued. I shook my head.
CJ- fuck you Nelli. You're not leaving here sober. Go over there to big Dee he'll smoke you out.
I looked over to who he was pointing at. I swear I knew him from somewhere but I just couldnt remember. I walked over to him. He seemed nice. He smiled at me and passed me his zoot.
Big Dee- What's your name?
Me- Nelli, you?
Big Dee- Just call me Dee or Big Dee.
I nodded. I felt abit uncomfortable cos he was watching my every move. I passed the zoot back to him.He didnt even look at what I was handing him he just stared me in my eyes.
Big Dee- Im sorry you're just so beautiful.
Me- Oh thanks
I smiled awkwardly. Jas saw my expression and pointed at me. Cj came over to talk to me and Big Dee.
Cj- How's baby squeeze?
Me- He's good. He's at home with Vianni.
Cj- Let me see a picture of him.
I showed him my wallpaper and he 'awwed'
Cj- He's bare cute. Looks like his dad bares though.
Me- I know
There was an awkward pause before he went away clocking what he just said. Everyone KNOWS Emmanuel died but they dont know that he never really died. So when they mention his name to me, they feel awkward not knowing that he's actually sitting in my house right now.
Big Dee- Who's Baby Squeeze?
Me- My son
Big Dee- Rah I couldn't even tell you had a kid. Your figures amazing.
I nodded awkwardly and walked away to sit on the bed. Izzy plopped down beside me. I rolled my eyes so hard.
Izzy- I heard you got a yute
Me- Yeah
Izzy- You know I still-
Me- Why are you talking to me?
Izzy- Lets go in the bathroom to talk, no funny shit
Me- No so you can say you fucked me in a couple weeks?
Izzy- Fine lets just go out there
He pointed to the balcony where I was with Big Dee. Izzy told him to go inside so we could talk. I just looked at him till he opened his mouth to finally say what he had to say.
Izzy- Look, Im sorry. I am so sorry about everything I did to you before in colly and after you helped me so much. When I found out you had a baby last year I didn't know what to feel. I still think about the day you told me how you lost your first baby. It was my fault so I kinda... feel like I should be there for your second.
I was almost in tears but then I remembered who I was. I blinked them away.
Me- Honestly, I appreciate you being nice and apologising but I don't think you have anything to offer my child. My family hate you and theres no way of changing it we can be cool but I dont want you around my kid.
Izzy- Understandable. Completely understandable. It's fine but I swear the same way you had me that day, I've got you. Anything you need.
I nodded " Thanks" I went inside and I enjoyed my time. I got lit, laughed, danced. Whatever. I had fun. It was coming on 2am. I started to get annoyed at these girls who kept staring at me and Jas. I swear I don't have a problem stamping out a bitch I just need the greenlight. Other than that I was annoyed at the fact that this Big Dee boy was not trying to leave me alone for the whole motive. Like at one point I was dancing and Jas was snapping me. Why did he try to get behind me? Does he not know his shadow in the video alone could've got me killed at home? I can just hear Emmanuel in my head "Dancing for the mandem fucking stripper" urgh. please.
Me and Jas started to get bored.
"Home time?"
Jas nodded.
