Page 51 of Another Night With Me

“We do a lot of stuff like a couple I just feel like if Niko wanted me like that he’d make that known. I’m not about to put myself out there when he isn’t giving me any indication of wanting more.” I answered Frankee truthfully.

“Chilllleee, I knew you reminded me of somebody,” Frankee dramatically sighed.

“Who?”

”Juniper’s big headed ass.” Frankee snickered. “Both y’all slow.”

I snickered, because Juniper really did have a big head. She is dropped dead gorgeous with a body many would kill for. But that head was hard to miss.

”Here you go. Leave me and my head out your foolishness.” Juniper shook her head readjusting her daughter who’d fallen asleep in her arms.

”You see my niece's head. She got that from you.” Frankee sniggered. “As I was saying y’all be expecting niggas to lay everything. Niggas don’t move like that. They’ll show you before they tell you. You gotta lay everything out on the table for them. If Nik is anything like my brother or Yaro, he’s going to communicate with his action. Nice ass house you living in, didn’t he buy you a new car as a push gift? When the last time you had a thought about money or touched your own money? Holding hands and kissing. All that screams is the nigga wanna be with you.”

I heard what Frankee was saying and while it held some truth to it. I felt like she was reading too deep into some things. A lot of that stuff Niko did with me when we first met. He always paid for my stuff. Hell we were carrying on like we’d been together for years when we had only known each other for a few days. I would be a dummy to believe Niko wanted to be in a relationship back then so I didn’t see it happening now.

“Well,” I started to say, then stopped talking as we approached the VIP tent. I chuckled sinisterly as my eyes took in Niko. “My point exactly.” I nodded my head in the direction of Niko off to the side of the tent by a tree posted up talking to a bitch half naked. Niko was skinning and grinning in the bitches face like I wasn’t here. Niggas weren’t shit and if this didn’t proof that Niko wasn’t on that type of time with me and him.

Frankee frowned as she looked over Niko, “A ho’ gon’ be a ho’. I’d go shut that shit down.”

”No, I’m not doing shit.” I scowled deeply feeling a rage boiling in my stomach. I wanted to bash Niko in his fucking skull right now.

He’d lost his fucking mind if he thought I was finna walk around with his baby strapped to his chest while he fucked off with random bitches. Fuck that. If it was good for the goose it was good for the gander.

“Aww hell, I know that look.” Frankee giggle. “Let me get my popcorn cause it’ finna be a Juniper and Faheem type of show down today.”

Frowning at Frankee I asked, “What does that mean?”

“That angry twinkle in your eye, Juniper used to get that same look when she was about to do some shit that would send Faheem through the roof.”

“That nigga deserved whatever I did,” Juniper replied.

”I ain’t stuttin’ Niko but he finna take his fucking baby.” I said before stomping over to Niko as his little whore walked off and he watched her leave like the trifling bastard he was.

When Niko turned around in my direction he looked like he saw a ghost. The color drained from his face as guilt settled on his face.

“What chu doin’ Yanna?” He asked, sounding nervous.

”Not shit,” I smartly replied. “I’m finna go meet up with Zaylee and Solana,” I unstrapped Zuriyah’s harness from my chest, holding her in place with my free hand. “She wants you,” I kept a straight face as I handed Zuriyah over to him.

“The fuck you on Yanna?” Niko growled as he took Zuriyah into his arms cradling her into his chest.

”She just ate she should be good but if she do get hungry she got milk in her diaper bag in the cooler.” I ignored his fiery gaze.

Niko let out an aggravated sighs, “Go get yo’ friends and come back here Yanna,”

”Nigga bye. I’ll be back when I get back,” I said as I started walking off, leaving Niko standing with Zuriyah in his arms.

“Don’t make me come find you!” Niko yelled to my back and I flipped him off. I mouth an extra umph in my walk just to piss him off as I got lost in the crowd of people.

Niko wanted to get bitches numbers it was only right if I got a few niggas numbers.

“Bitch, y’all turnt!” Zaylee snickered standing in front of Solana and me shaking her head.

“I’m enjoying myself,” I corrected with my fruity mix drink in and I twirled my hips to the beat of the song while sipping my drink.
