Movie Night ch.5

--DRAKE--

"Please stop," Nicki pleaded while chasing Trinity around the house. Trinity whined and shook her head in response and kept on running away. I could tell Nicki was getting impatient by her disobedience. I must say for a two year old she's pretty fast. This went on for a little while longer before I decided to end it. I waited until she ran past me again before I picked her up.

"Beautiful why are you running around?" I asked her while she hung onto me tightly.

"Someone doesn't want to wash her hair," Nelle teased walking past an emotional looking Nicki.

"Aww is that why? Beautiful if mommy tells you to do something you do it okay? You can't be giving mommy a hard time that's not being beautiful. Don't you want to be beautiful?" I asked her and by how long it took her to nod I could tell she barely understood what I was saying.

"Okay now go wash your hair," I said kissing her cheek and handing her to Nicki.

"Thank you," she said timidly adjusting Trinity on her hip.

"Well you wouldn't have to thank anyone if you knew how to control your child, but I guess you're welcome," I replied. There was a moment of silence and we were both staring into each others eyes and her's were very glossy. When she finally walked away I turned around and was met with a slap across the face.

"You gon stop being so damn mean to her. She didn't do anything to you yet you keep treating her like shit. You are just like your mother," She said walking away and that got me heated.

"No I am not and don't you dare compare me to her or anyone else in my family," I raised my voice.

"Yes you are you look down at everyone that isn't as financially set like you. You are rude and belittle people for no reason. Do you know how much that woman has bee-,"

"Okay damn!! I get it she's been through alot! How many times am I going to hear you say that!?! What do you want me to do feel sorry for her?" I yelled interrupting  her. She bumped past me and went into the living room to look through the movie selections.

"Horror, comedy, or romance?" She asked.

"Horror," I replied slowly calming down. We have the weirdest relationship ever. We were just fighting but now we're gonna watch a movie together. We've been doing movie nights once a month ever since she moved here at 16. So I guess you could say it's a tradition. She put in Sinister and sat a cushion away from me. As the movie progressed she slowly started to get closer until she was wrapped around me.

"Baby," I huffed.

"Shut up," she said shielding her eyes from the tv. Half way into the movie I saw a small figure from the corner of my eyes. I turned in that direction to find a puffy haired Trinity standing by the couch staring at the tv. I didn't even hear her walk into the living room. I wonder how long she's been here?

"Beautiful you can't watch these types of movies. You're going to have nightmares," I told her and she kept her attention on the tv.

"Beautiful did you hear me?" I asked her and she didn't even flinch.

"That girl ain't scared of nothing. These are her favorite types of movies. You'd get nightmares before she does. Trin where's mommy?" Nelle asked. When she heard mommy she snapped to attention. Seconds later Nicki walked in and picked her up.

"What yall watching?" she asked sitting down next to Nelly and placing beautiful in her lap.

"Sinister and you let your daughter watch these types of movies?" I asked her more judgemental than I meant to.

"Yea she likes these types of movies. For some strange reason she doesn't like kid movies. Well," she stopped to think. 

"She likes some I can't say she doesn't like all,"

"Wow nice parenting. Where's your mother of the year awar-" Nelly interrupted me with a punch to the rib. I jumped and we shared a death glare before I turned my attention back to the tv. By the time the movie was over they all were asleep. I carried them to their beds before finding some extra sheets and crashing out on the couch.


--NICKI--

I woke up in bed and I felt so weak. I looked to my right to find Trin out cold. I don't know what got into me, but tears just started streaming out of my eyes and I couldn't control it. I left the room so I wouldn't wake her up and went to the kitchen. I guess I wasn't paying attention because I went slamming into him and he caught me before I could fall.

"Excuse me," I croaked walking around him. I was shocked that he didn't say anything rude or mean in return. He said nothing and I didn't complain. Instead I sat down and layed my head on the counter. He was about to leave, but he turned around and sat beside me. There was no exchange of words and I've noticed that everytime I'm around him we would have these silent moments. I don't know if it's because he didn't care or if he just didn't know what to say, but he just sat there and listened to me cry. I felt myself being pulled into his arms and that's when I realized that he had no shirt on. I would've pulled away but he was so warm so I just snuggled into him. When I started to calm down he finally said something.

"What's wrong?" he asked me and I just shook my head.

"I do-on't want to b-bother you with my p-problems," I said wrapping my arms around his torso.

"When you're ready to tell me then I'm all ears," he said pulling me even closer. Two hours passed before I took him up on his offer.

"How are you so good with kids?" I asked him.

"I have a 4 year old daughter so I hope I'm good with kids for her sake," he joked and that made me smile.

"What's her name?"

"Naomi."

"Where is sh-"

"Wait hold on are you child protective services? What's with all these questions?" he joked and I started to giggle.

"I just wan-"

"No, no, no my turn to interrogate you," he smiled.

"Really interrogate?" I squealed.

"Hell yeah!! Okay um," he stopped to think.

"Why does Trinity like scary movies?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"It's a long story and I don't even know where to start. Umm........okay so i'd go over this woman's house to help her out with things like accounting, you know stuff like that and I'd bring Trin with me. So I guess their son was emo or whatever, but he didn't look like it. So he'd watch her while I'd help the mom. She started having nightmares and I didn't know why, but after awhile they stopped. So one day I took a break and I caught them watching those types of movies and I told the boy not to do that stuff around my daughter and he said okay. I come to find out that he still watching those types of stuff around Trin so I quit," I explained.

"Ohh so it was your job?" he asked.

"I guess you could say that because she was paying me for my services, but I wasn't working with a company or anything like that. Anyway ever since then she's loved scary, horrorish types of movies." I concluded right before my stomach started to growl.

"Damn ma you hungry?" he cheesed and I rolled my eyes again.

"Shut up!" I couldn't help but smile.

"And if I was?"

"Then we'd have to fix that. Common let's go get something to eat my treat," he offered, but I had to think about it for awhile,

"Come on I don't bite," he persuaded slowly pulling me with him. He got his shirt and keys and off we went. The car ride was short and peaceful. It wasn't until we arrived at the pizza place that I realized I was in a tank top with booty shorts and no shoes. He got out the car and looked at me with a questioning look when I didn't follow his lead.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't go out in public looking like this," I said motioning to my pajamas.

"Fine I guess we'll take it to go," he huffed locking the doors behind him. I waited until he was out of sight before I started freaking out.

"What the fuck am I doing!!! I barely know him ugh!!! Ohh shit Trinity!!" I yelled out loud banging on the dashboard.

"I'm so stupid."

--DRAKE--

I came back with three large boxes of cheese pizza to find Nicki bugging out. I unlocked the door to the back seat and placed the pizza there. I got into the drivers seat before I asked,"what's wrong?"

"I left Trinity alone in the room by herself. What if she freaks out? Omg she's going to have a heart attack," she said over dramatizing. I rolled my eyes and started the car. When we made it back to her house Nicki busted threw the doors and ran upstairs. A few minutes later she came back with sleeping beauty in her arms. Meanwhile I had already set up our plates. We sat down and continued our conversation.

"Okay everytime I see you around either if it's around the office or whatever you're always wearing very baggy clothes hiding your body. Why?" I asked anticipating her answer.

"Why do you care?" she responded.

"Well it's definitely on point if you don't mind me commenting, but I would've never known about your um.....well your....." I stopped realizing I was stumbling over my words. She giggled at me and it was super adorable making smile like a goof.

"You know what I'm trying to say. Anyway you should dress like this more often," I finished taking a bite of my slice.

"What booty shorts and a tank?" she asked dumbfound written all over her face.

"No I meant like... you know...fitted...nevermind," I said shutting up making an awkward environment.

"O..k but I got a question for you."

"Shoot."

"Why were you so mean to me?" she asked with a full mouth.

"Ohh I knew that was coming," I said putting my slice down.

"Umm I'm sorry about that I can come off a little-"

"Blunt, rude, uncivil, mea-"

"Okay I get it. But yeah I can come off harsh sometimes and I apologize," I said and by the look on her face I knew she didn't buy it. I huffed before I continued," I'm disappointed in myself for not trying to get to know you before I started to judge. From the bottom of my heart I'm sorry please forgive me." Her face spread into a smile showing her pearly white teeth.

"I guess we could start over."

"Guess? Really you guess? Okay I'll take that," I said putting my hands up. I took another bite of last pizza in the first box. By the way I'm filled up now I don't know why I got three.

"Now I got a question for you? Why were you crying a few hours ago?" I finally brought up. She put her head down focusing her attention to Trinity sleeping on her chest.

"A lot of financial problems came crashing down on me today I just became so overwhelmed," she explained. I changed the subject to a more funnier topic because for some reason I didn't want to see her sad for a second longer. We talked until she fell asleep again on the couch. I left her there because I enjoyed the company. It only took a few minutes before I followed her lead succumbed to slumber.

--NICKI--

I woke up to Trin jumping on the couch by my head. Drake picked her up and sat down in her spot putting her in his lap.

"Morning sleepy head," he greeted. I got up and stretched greeting him back. I ran my hands through the full length of my hair. I could've sworn my hair was in a ponytail. 

"Where's my band?" I asked more to myself than anybody else.

"Oh here," he said handing it to me. II looked at him suspicious tying my hair.

"What? It fell out while you were sleeping. Plus you look better with it out. Don't she beautiful," he said tickling her making her giggle.

"Oh what a cute family moment," Nelle said with sarcasm.

"Since when did yall start getting along?" she asked eating a slice of pizza.

"Right about the time you started looking like that," he said with disgust.

"Ha ha so funny. Put on a shirt you not sexy nigga," whispered the last part under her breath.

"What was that?" he asked putting his hands on his ears. That was the beginning of a brother and sister argument between them. I looked on as they went back and forth. This is going to be an interesting journey.
