MIA

My heart dropped as I thought about the worst while my taste buds took in the unfamiliar taste.

It is tasteless but thick like a smoothie.

"Wha.... what's wrong?" I stuttered.

She looked between me and the empty glass.

"Tell me you didn't just drink that."

My heart pounded as I stared at her.

"Wasn't..... wasn't that a smoothie?" I asked.

"No!"

Oh, God.

"Why would you drink that without thinking?!"

I held my belly as I struggled to speak.

"Wha.....what was it?"

    MIAMy heart dropped as I thought about the worst while my taste buds took in the unfamiliar taste. It is tasteless but thick like a smoothie. "Wha.... what's wrong?" I stuttered. She looked between me and the empty glass. "Tell me you didn't just drink that." My heart pounded as I stared at her. "Wasn't..... wasn't that a smoothie?" I asked. "No!" Oh, God. "Why would you drink that without thinking?!" I held my belly as I struggled to speak. "Wha.....what was it?" She rubbed her temples, turning away as she paced. "Coco...." I trailed off the minute I felt my body reacting weirdly. "God, Mia. What have you done?" I placed my hand on the counter, leaning down as the weird feeling increased. "Coco......why do I....why do I feel funny?" "That wasn't a...." She heaved a sigh, holding my hand"Come sit." she helped me towards the island and I sat on the barstool as I felt the huge urge to take off my nightgown. What is happening to me? "Oh goodness, you drank all of the

    MIA"Tell me why you rejected the boss," I scoffed. "He killed my mother." "I heard your mother wasn't a good one to you." She shrugged. I scoffed. "How much did your boyfriend tell you about my situation?" Her face twitched. "My boyfriend?" "Caleb." She heaved a sigh. "He uh....he hasn't asked me out yet," she said, fiddling with her hair. I scoffed. "Listen, Coco, I can't be with someone who killed my mother. It is not right. The thought of it will haunt me. I see the life he ripped out of my mother when I look at him. Don't you understand?" "I do, Mia. I know it is hard and she was your mother. But she almost killed you and the boss saved you." I stared at her as my heart tightened. "He has done a lot just to keep you. He literally brought back Lil Kai for you. Trust me, he is struggling to have Lil Kai around because of the betrayal behind his birth but he is putting up with it because of you. Because he wants you to be happy. He is willing to do anything for you." My h

    MIAAre they a thing? They are kitchen without holding each other. It almost looks like it is their first time kissing. And not just my first time seeing them kissing. I walked closer to the island, clearing my throat. They jumped and looked my way. Coco quickly moved towards the gas cooker and Caleb stood still but nervous to the core. "Mia, hey," I nodded slightly. "Sorry, we um.....we didn't see you there." My first time hearing him stutter. "I came to get cookies for my sister and me. And cereal for Jay Jay." I said. "I will help you with it," Coco said, walking towards the shelf. "Well um, I will leave you two to it. Excuse me." Caleb said, walking out of the kitchen. I moved my eyes to Coco. She is taking out some cookies. I walked towards her as she took them out nervously. "Um....wha....what type of cookies do you want? Chocolate or vanilla?" she asked, avoiding my gaze. "Coco," "Hmm?" she hummed, looking at the cookies. I smiled as I leaned on the counter a

    MIA"No one important," Imani said. "Eat up, girl. We have some touring to do." I heard Big Kai say, making my heart clench as Brenda squealed happily. He would always stop his sister from calling me ill things. But now.....Nothing. Why does it even upset me this much? You told him you hate him, remember? I shook my head, waving it off as we ascended the stairs. *****************A FEW MINUTES LATER........IN MIA'S ROOM........"Use red, Jay Jay," Vicky said, placing a red crayon in Jay Jay's tiny hand and proceeding to color her book. The three of us are on the floor, Vicky and Jay Jay are busy with crayons and coloring books that Caleb gave to us yesterday. Vicky is doing well with hers but Jay Jay is making a mess of his book. Very funny little guy. He stared at him. He is currently staring at the red crayon in his tiny hand and like a few minutes ago, he moved it to his mouth. "Jay Jay, no." I took it from him instantly. He cried crankily. Sighing, I picked him up

    MIAImani chuckled as they got closer. "Hey," the unfamiliar woman sang as she and Imani walked towards Big Kai. "You kiddin' me right now?" Big Kai asked as she leaned closer and hugged him. My heart tightened a bit as I stared at them. She pulled away but they held hands. "Damn, girl. It's been a minute." Big Kai said, smiling at her. She chuckled, flipping her long dark hair proudly. She is just like them. Dark glowing skin, tall and beautiful as Imani. The only difference is that she has a huge backside. She is very attractive. Especially in her jean trousers and green crop top that exposed her breasts a bit. And she is still holding hands with Big Kai. Who is she to him? "Yeah, yeah, it's been a minute," she said. Her voice is pretty tiny. Almost like Vicky's. "How come you're coming out from my house instead of walking in through the damn door?" Big Kai asked, making her chuckle again. "Well, I picked her up from the airport last night," Imani spoke up. Big Kai h

    MIAI got on my feet and walked towards the door. I opened it, revealing Coco.She is looking at me with remorse. "Good morning," I said, walking back to the bed. "Good morning, Mia. Are you.....are you still angry with me?" "You lied to me yesterday." She nodded. "It wasn't my fault. I was doing what I was told." "It's fine. I understand." I said, looking away. "Are we still good?" I looked at her. She is looking at me in a way of expects a positive answer.I nodded. Her face lit up instantly. "Thank you. I actually came to call you guys for breakfast. It will be ready in an hour." I nodded. "Alright. Later." She said, heading out happily. "Aunty Coco is nice, I like her," Vicky said with a bright smile. I smiled too. "I like her too." "And also that big uncle too." I furrowed my brows slightly as Caleb came to my mind. "You mean Caleb?" She shook her head. "Not uncle Caleb but I like him too." I furrowed my brows again. "Who are you talking about?" "The other u

    BIG KAIImani's voice made her flinch, breaking her pleasant worried gaze from me as she looked in Imani's direction. If I weren't badly injured, I would have rolled my eyes at Imani's annoying perfect timing. Quick steps descended the stairs, making my shawty move away and Imani came into view.

    MIAThe boss is leaning on the door frame in his blood-stained shirt, panting and staring at me as blood flowed down the corner of his eyebrows and sweat ran down his face and neck. I gulped as I stared at him. Terrified to the core. God, what happened to him? He kept staring at me. My eyes roa

    BIG KAI"Oh, you are awake. Finally," she said, her heels clicking as she walked towards me with a maid following her behind holding a tray in her hand. "How are you feeling?" Imani asked as she stood next to me. "Fulfilled," I said. "Mm hmm." She took the tray from the maid and placed it on my
