No Love Games

Nicki was stretched across Maddy's bed with her arm wrapped around her. Maddy woke up in a panic feeling like she couldn't breathe. She calmed down see her Mommy's beautiful sleeping face. She smiled feeling the grip she had on her like she was leaving, well she was, but not in that second. She wrapped her arm around her and snuggled into her breast.

"I don't want you to leave."

Maddy stared down at the space between their bodies as she listened to her mother's sniffles. Mommy's going to make this so hard. She looked up to see Nicki staring down at her. Her face was wet with tears as she stroked her hair. This is my baby, she can't just leave me. We're just getting back close and now she's going to be gone from me forever. Nicki cried harder as she pulled Maddy closer and squeezed her small body. Maddy began to cry as she stared face to face with her mom. They both laid in the bed crying and wiping each others tears.

"You're really going?"

"Yes, if I really have to."

"Don't go...."

"Mommy, I don't have a choice if I'm needed."

"Needed?"

"Yes, someone has to carry on our family hierarchy?"

"Ask a cousin or something."

"Mommy."

"I know, I know."

Maddy smiled pushing her hair behind her ear. She secretly wanted to live in Ghana, but didn't tell her mom that. She sighed as they fell into a comfortable silence. Maddy stared at Nicki as if she was trying to remember her face. Nicki closed her eyes and snuggled her face on Maddy's chest and they both fell asleep.

~~~~~~

Linda stepped into the room and shook them. Their father still hadn't gotten home and Linda couldn't hold water anymore. She looked over Nicki and Maddy laying there hugged up with tear stained faces. Nicki's eyes fluttered open and she forced a smile as Linda sighed loudly.

"Mommy, I have some..."

"NOOOO!"

Layshun shouted seeing her come in the room minutes ago, he made his way down the hall. Maddy jumped out her sleep looking around as she sat up. Nicki sat up against the headboard looking at Lay and Linda. Maddy laid her head in her lap and looked up at her.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing..."

"No you better tell her or I will!"

"Tell me what?!"

"Nothing just wait until Pop gets here."

"What if he don't come, Lay?"

"Linda what are you talking about? Not come back?"

The alarm in Nic's voice was heavy and she stared at them both as they stared at each other. Linda hit his arms as he mugged her. I'm not telling Ma nothing.

"Go head and tell her big mouth."

"Whatever, Daddy went to see Monique."

Nicki didn't say anything just abruptly stood to her feet. What the fuck? Why would he go see that bitch in Florida. Lying ass! I can't believe this, six years and now he wants to fuck up? She paced then walked out the room to her bedroom and grabbed her phone as the kids followed behind her. SB's phone went straight to voicemail only causing her anger to stir more. She threw the phone against the wall and went to the closet and started snatching down his clothes.

"Mommy!"

"NOT RIGHT NOW!"

"Listen to me! It might not be this bad please calm down."

Maddy pleaded. Why would Linda do that? She doesn't even know why he went or anything. Mommy sitting here kicking him out and just going off what Linda's ugly self is saying. Maddy grabbed his clothes and began hanging them back up as her mother pulled them down.

"Maddy get out!"

Maddy jumped hearing her get loud. She stared at her as she began to cry. Why would he go see her out of all the people? Why did he lie? Maddy grabbed her and gave her a tight hug. Linda watched from the closet doorway with a sad look on her face. I shouldn't have said anything.

[Wednesday Morning)

SB stepped in the door at four am and let his bags hit the floor. He made his way to the bedroom and smiled seeing Macy laid across Nicki with their hair everywhere. He slowly made his way around to her and pecked her lips. He pulled back to see if she would wake up, but nothing happened. He then kissed her with passion as he roamed his hand over her. Nic's eyes popped open as she focused to see who was kissing her before she slapped the shit out of them causing them to back away.

"Damn Nic?"

"Faree?"

"Yeah, baby..."

"I missed you."

She stated hiding her anger because she wanted to be held. He smiled as he knelt on the side of the bed and rubbed her face. God, she's beautiful and being in Florida made me realize how much I love, miss and need her in my space. She looked him over and watched as he kissed her hand. She put her arm out for him as Macy pushed off her leg and laid next to her head on the pillow next to them. He got on the bed and laid between her legs as she removed his hat then his shirt.

"We need to talk."

"Yeah, I know."

"Later, I'm tired and I missed you."

"I missed you more."

••••••

"Safaree, I'm glad you came to see me."

"Right, wassup Monique?"

"Wow, this how you act..."

"You look nice, but I'm married and it's bad enough I'm sneaking out to see you just let's get this over with."

"Okay, here's your money Brim and I owe you. Oh, this is for Nicki from Brim."

She handed him two suitcases and a box with Nicki's name on it. She watched as he counted his money then ripped open the box. He pulled out some money and an all black diamond tennis bracelet with charms hanging from it. He looked up at her then threw it back in the bag.

"If you and Nicki are still cool, but..... Yeah."

"You still fucking with Brim, you just gone be fucking up again.."

"If you hadn't left me then I wouldn't be. I loved you more than any of those girls including Nicki, but you chose them not me."

"Monique, you came on to me and seduced me it wasn't like I LEAD YOU on."

"Really... So.. You don't miss this..?"

She asked kissing him with force. He grabbed her waist and pushed her back. He looked down as he wiped his lips then looked back up at her as she stared at him.

"Monique, I never loved you, what we had was sex and you know it, nothing more and nothing less. Thanks for my money, but I should be going."

He grabbed the suit cases then grabbed the charm bracelet and threw it at her. She looked at him shocked then chased after him dropping to her knees.

"Please Safaree, don't leave me here!"

"You wanted to be here, you followed your man here and you crossed me, I don't want shit to do with you!"

He hurried into the car and sped off to meet his friends at the hotel they were staying out. As he drove, he pulled out a wipe and wiped his mouth vigorously feeling nasty and itchy around the mouth.

••••••

Nicki rubbed her hand down his back as she listened to his light long snores. She looked over to see Macy staring at her with gray piercing eyes. She reached out and touched her smile face noticing that she was still sleeping. This scared Nicki, so she closed her eyelids then pulled her close. She stayed laying there until her phone rang. She reached out for it and grabbed it off the night stand.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Neeki, I'm at the airport."

"Okay, Lou An, we'll be there to pick you up."

She hung up and shook SB. He groaned as he placed his hands over her breast. He started squeezing them as if he was getting comfortable on a pillow. What the fuck is this? Who did this to my pillows? He groaned again then open his eyes to see Nicki smirking at him. He jumped up falling to the floor.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

I'm sorry, damn."

"Right, or you just missed my body."

He blushed then looked away bashful. She stood up and began pulling on clothes. He looked confused as she handed him his clothes and keys.

"Where we going?"

"The kids Grandmother is here... We have.."

"Where's Maddy?"

"In her room. She was with me and Macy until she got sad and left the room."

He nodded as he pulled on his shoes and followed behind her. Today going to be a long day he thought as they made their way out the door.

~~~~~~

Maddy pressed her feet into her shoes as she brushed her hair to the side. She looked in the mirror at her now tight curls with a wave here and there. She was little nervous about moving to Ghana for good. She didn't want to leave them, especially Nicki, but she wanted to find herself. Maddy felt like she was lost not knowing how her mother felt or why she was the way she was. She wanted to experience a life outside of her cushioned loved family that Nicki had built for them. She sat in front of her desk and pulled out the scented paper that she had begged Nicki to buy her, even though she complained about it being expensive. She came across the picture of her and Marquez and wiped at a tear that escaped her eye. She missed the old him, the one that protected them, the one that loved them and never gave them up. She shook it off and began to write a letter on the paper. Hopefully she finds this paper.

~~~~~~

Nicki stepped up and hugged the tall rounded woman with her big hat on. She plastered a smile on her face as they pulled apart. Nicki was nervous and wanted to leave her at the airport. Bitch, is taking my baby away from me and hugging me like she not fucking up my family. Lou An stepped around her and hugged SB, he looked over her shoulder at Nic and they spoke through their eyes. He was feeling her pain as he pulled back and looked the woman over as her body guard came and threw the bags in the trunk of the car. She stepped in side the car and had the body guard, which was like ten, follow in the limo she had order for them. SB grabbed Nicki's hand and leaned over to her ear.

"Don't let your emotions get the best of you."

"I'm trying, but..."

"For Maddy, Nic."

"Okay."

******

Macy crawled over Nicki and frowned seeing her tucked tight to Aiydan. She sighed heavily, but giggled feeling Nicki's arm around her body. She kissed her cheek and laid her next to Aiydan. Maddy walked into the room and smiled as she looked over them.

"Are you going with us to dinner?"

"Yes, I'm spending time with my babies until your dad gets back."

"We're have a few guest, so be good Mommy."

"Who?"

"You'll meet then when we get there."

"Have you met them?"

"Yep, two days ago and we've been hanging out."

"Ugh, Maddy I don't..."

"Don't leave us Maddy, we'll miss you."

"Mommy.. Don't do this right and not in front of Macy."

Nicki placed her mouth on Macy small stomach and blowed. She giggled and kicked around trying to get away. Maddy grabbed Aiydan and tickled him causing him to put on a small smile. They stayed in the room playing around and talking about whatever Macy wanted to talk about. She pouted when Maddy stood up to leave hearing her grandmother call her name.

"That witch needs to leave Mommy. She's taking my Maddy."

Nicki sighed fighting her tears as she pulled Macy into her lap and kissed her cheek. Macy pulled Aiydan into her lap and snuggled into his small neck. This dinner would expose a lot and change some lives.
