So today is the day I’m moving to America with Nicki. I’m super excited to see what it will be like, but I’m still abit sad that Safaree isn’t coming. He knows how I feel about Nicki right now, but I promised him already, so I’m going to give it a try. I’ve eaten and showered already, just waiting for Nicki to finish up.

After dinner last night, she gave me back my phone. She had this guilty look on her face and it seemed as if her eyes were brimming with tears. I took my phone and I realized it was unlocked. I remember locking it before I gave it to her, so it kind of creeped me out. No, I don’t really have anything to hide in my phone, but certain things are important to me. I searched through my phone to see if she opened or saw anything that may have upset her, but found nothing. The only thing that caught my eye was that the messages I had between me and Zaire were gone. I guess she deleted them, but why? I was abit upset but I said to myself I wasn’t gonna get mad at her, so I left it alone.

While waiting for Nicki, my phone beeped signaling that I had a new message. I opened my kik app and saw it was from Zaire.

“Hey schat. ©”

“Heyyy.” I replied.

“So what did you think about what I wrote you last night?” She asked and I watched my phone confused. What was she talking about?

“What do yu mean?”

“Well I told you I have a crush on you and knew you liked me back and other stuff…” she answered and my heart fluttered. She really knew me inside out. I blushed while reading it.

“Well.. yeah I do… but idk… how will we go about it?”

“Well… do you want to be my girlfriend?” she asked and my heart skipped a beat. I squealed in delight.

“Sure.. I’d like that ..©”

“Ait.. Love you.”

“Love you more.” I replied.

“Love you most.”

I squealed and fist-pumped the air. I was so busy dancing and acting the fool, that I didn’t even hear Nicki walk in with dad.

“Morning baby.” She said.

“Morning.” I answered abit out of breath.

“So, why you so happy coonette?” Daddy asked me.

“Well… I’m leaving today… and other stuff…” I answer and blush.

“Ohhh… she’s got a boyfriend.” Nicki teased and I fake laughed. Dad noticed and shot me a warning look. I looked away.

“So who is it?” He asked. I looked at my feet. How was I gonna tell them that I have a girlfriend and it’s Zaire. It would be mega awkward.

“Uhm… well… uhh…”

“Yeah? Baby you can always tell us.” Nicki said and placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked her in the eyes and sighed.

“I…. I have no boyfriend….”

“You’re lying. I saw how you were smiling this morning.” She said and playfully nudged me. I got abit defensive.

“No, I’m serious I don’t have a boyfriend. I have a girlfriend.” I blurted and covered my mouth. Daddy raised an eyebrow before sighing and giving me a hug. I hugged him back and took in his soothing scent. Damn, I was going to miss it.

“It’s okay baby. I don’t judge you.” He said. He released me from his embrace and looked me in the eyes. He didn’t need to ask the question. I just had to answer. “No daddy, I’m not gay. I just really like her. We have a tight bond and we liked each other for some time. We just never expressed our feelings to one another.

“Oh… Okay.”

It was then when I noticed how quiet Nicki was. She was playing with her nails and I saw that daddy noticed as well.

“Mom, you okay?” I asked carefully and took her hands into mine. She looked into my eyes and then looked away.

“Is it Zaire?” she asked and I looked at her shocked.

“W-what?” I stuttered.

“Is. It. Zaire.” She asked again.

“Y-yeah. It is.” I whispered. I felt as if I did something wrong. But what did I do wrong? She sighed and got up. Daddy got up and went after her. This is the thing. She is keeping something from me. Did she read what Zaire told me last night? And what exactly did Zaire say? Why did she delete the messages?

So much was going through my head that, I didn’t realize that daddy was standing in front of me and was talking to me.

“H-huh?”

“I was saying that you have to go easy on your mother. Promise me you will.” He said with pleading eyes. I nodded. Then I asked him.

“Daddy, w-what’s wrong with Zaire?” he looked up and I added quickly, “If you know.”

“Well baby, she’s not doing so well, she in the hospital, but I want you to know that she loves you and thinks about you all the time. And now that you guys are in a relationship, hopefully she’ll tell you when the time is right.”

“Oh okay.” I answered and he got up. As he was walking out the door, I ran up to him and gave him a hug. My face was in his chest. It took a second before he hugged me back.

“I love you daddy. I really do.”

“I love you too princess. Be a good girl for mommy.”

“I will. I promise that I will.”

“I’m going to miss you sooooo much.” I giggled.

“I’m gonna miss you too daddy.” I answered in a baby voice and he chuckled.

We then called room service to start removing me and Nicki’s suitcases. She still seemed abit down, so I held her hand. Safaree held the other. She cracked a small smile which made me smile brighter.

“Okay baby, this is good bye for now.” He whispered into my ear as I held on to him. I was trying to hold back my tears. I didn’t want him to stay. “Please don’t cry, I’ll be there before you know it.” He said softly. I sniffled and put on a brave face before looking him in the eyes.

“Ain’t nobody gonna be shedding tears playboy.” I said in my gangster voice and we laughed together. We then faced Gabriella who was texting on her phone. I rolled my eyes, but let it go. She is in a relationship. A long distance relationship. Don’t ruin it.

I then took a good look at her. She was really short for her age. About 4’3. That’s the height of an 8-year old. She really did look abit different with the scoliosis that she has. She always walks with her special pillow and sometimes wears her special shoes. She hates cherries and loves the color pink. She’s really shy and friendly when you get to know her, but has a real attitude if you get her upset. She loves to swim but hates the sand. She smiles a lot, even when she has all reason not to. She’s a giver. She cares too much.

I smiled at her and she looked up and smiled at me. I let go of Safaree and looked him in the eyes one last time before deeply kissing him.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Take care of yourself.”

“I will. See you soon baby.” He replied and kissed me again.

I then took Gabby’s hand and we walked to the private jet. While walking, I started talking.

“Ready to start your new life?”

“Yeah, I actually am.”

“Great, your gonna have lots of fun.”

“I look forward to it.” She replied with a bright smile.

Here we go.
