Page 45 of Another Night With Me

“You defending this nigga?” Niko looked at me crazily and I was fearful for the drive with how black Niko’s eyes got.

Before I had a chance to reply Niko pulled a gun from the back of his pants.

“Nigga!” Yaro screamed, “He a fuckin’ Ryde driver. Calm yo’ ass down.”

Niko whipped back around peering at me evilly. His chest rapidly rising and falling as ragged breaths left his body.

“I don’t know who he is, Niko I swear, Yaro isn’t lying. Look,” I said picking up my phone with shaky hands, clicking on the Ryde app, I showed Niko the request for a ride.

He exhaled, frowning deeply at the driver. “Get yo’ bitch ass up.” Niko nudged the driver’s leg with his foot.

“Iii’m sorrrry,” The driver cried slowing trying to stand up.

“My bad G, I thought you was tryna fuck with my baby mama,” Niko said in what was supposed to be an apologetic tone but came off more cocky than anything.

“Can I go?” He nervously asked looking like he was about to cry.

“This is an unfortunate accident, right?” Niko said giving a threatening glare at the driver, who nodded in understanding. Niko got Zuriyah out the car then said. “Go head.”

“You outta yo’ fucking mind.” Yaro chuckled breaking the silence. “You good bro? Or do I need to stay here and referee?” Yaro asked joking like his crazy ass brother almost killing somebody wasn’t a big deal.

“We straight.” Niko calmly said but his eyes told a different story, he was still pissed.

“Alright. Sis call me if you need me,” Yaro said winking at me. “Aye, crazy ass don’t forget about my block party next week,” Yaro sai giving Niko head nod.

I wanted to scream for Yaro to stay or beg him to take me home. However, I felt that would only make this situation worse. So I kept my mouth closed.

“You really think I’m a bitch ass nigga?” Niko growled stepping in my personal space.

“Back up Niko,” I demanded, pushing him back.

I might have been scared of Niko right now but I wasn’t about to let him bully me. Not when he left me to go lay up with his disrespectful trout mouth bitch ass baby mama.

Niko let out a sinister chuckle as he backed up a few feet. He looked down at Zuriyah in her carseat. He bent down picking her car seat up.

“Bring yo’ gooofy ass in the house,” he said menacingly. Childishly Niko bumped me into my shoulder as he walked past me into the house. I really contemplated taking my ass on. Dealing with Niko was finna turn all my hair grey.

After a good ten minutes I sluggishly made my way in the house. Niko and Zuriyah were nowhere in sight. I knew Niko wasn’t gonna do anything to our daughter. Instead of looking for him I made my way to the kitchen, over to Niko’s wine rack. Popping open my favorite blueberry wine I poured myself the biggest glass I could. I took a sip letting the wine calm my nerves. Niko had me moving and acting all out of my character, I hated it. I never allowed a nigga to throw me off my rocker. I barely knew when I was coming or going when I had to deal with Niko. What made it worse was he wasn’t my nigga nor was I getting any dick. I had no reason to running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

“I should beat yo’ ass,” Niko whispered in my ear scaring the fuck out of me. Sending my wine flying out the glass all over the two of us.

”Niko!” I yelled whipping around furiously. “Why the fuck would you do that?” I asked through clenched teeth and my eyes in slits. I wanted to choke the fuck out of him for scaring me like that. Now we, mainly me, we’re covered in wine.

”I see what type of shit you be on?” Niko grunted grilling me from head to toe.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” I spat slamming the wine glass on the counter.

“You the type of broad that ah do some bullshit then try to play the victim.”

”My nigga I’m nobodies victim. I’m just not finna let no nigga or bitch treat me or my daughter any type of way.” I fiercely snaked my head from side to side.

“Bru,” Niko said, smacking his hands on the container trapping me in between him and the counter. With his face inches from mine. “Stop sayin’ that shit. Zuriyah ain’t only your daughter.” He breathed a hard angry breath through his nose. I guess Niko called himself being pissed but I could careless. He wasn’t the only one pissed off.

“Could have fooled the fuck outta me.” I sarcastically replied, rolling my eyes as hard as I could.

“Since I found out about my daughter I ain’t let up off her fuck outta here with that weak ass shit.”

”Right but you let a bitch you was fucking speak bad about my daughter,” I pettily said.
