Chapter 27: Are You Seeing It?
Back at home, Jimmy was in his house. He had tried calling Nikkie's cell but it went straight to her voicemail. So he decided to call Raylese's house.
"Hello" Raylese said
"Hey, Raylese it's Jimmy" Jimmy said
"Hey how are you? How is everything?" Raylese asked
"Everything over here is going good. Im just taking the vacationing time easy" Jimmy said
"Good, thats good" Raylese said
"Yeah. So, I called to see how Nikkie was doing. I mean she hasn't returned any of my calls and I- Raylese cut him off
"What are you talking about. Nikkie's not here" Raylese said
"What? She said she went out to New York for the break to see you" Jimmy said
"I havnt talked to Nikkie since Christmas" Raylese said
"That dosn't make sense. Where could she be?" Jimmy asked
"I dont know. Thats not like Nikkie. Call Kayla. Maybe she knows something" Raylese said.
"I'll do that. Thanks" Jimmy said. He called Kayla. She told him everything Nikkie didn't. She told him about the Sweet 16, the vacation sweet Marcus had payed for them to stay at. Though Marcus didn't know really why Reggie wanted to go up to NY, he gave him the money anyways. Jimmy was mad. He didn't understand why Nikkie would lie. And his first thought...was Reggie. Was somethig going on between them?
Nikkie had partied hard that night. She came home and passed out. Nikkie woke up with a headache. Also to find herself alone. She went to the bathroom and found a envelope on the sink. She opened it and there was 2,000 dollars and a note.
Im sorry I left early. And Im sorry I have to leave you alone again. But I'll make it up to you tonight. Go get pretty- Reggie
Nikkie laughed and still felt dizzy from the night before. She threw on a pair tight pink sweat pants and a white d&g t-shirt. She slipped on her white ups and the pink sweat jacket. She hailed a cab to 34th street where she went shopping...again. Nikkie didnt mind spending the money, but the fact that he would just give it up-bothered her. She felt too spoiled. Jimmy had alot of money too. But he didnt go blowing it on Nikkie every chance he got. Nikkie found a few things. She gathered her money and her bags and went back to the hotel. She sat back and went through her cell phone which she hadn't checked since yesterday morning. Jimmy had called 5 times, Kayla twice and Raylese twice, and Paige once. Nikkie didnt bother calling them back. She thought her break had to be free from everyone back home. That included Jimmy and her mom. But she did decide to call Raylese.
"Hello, Nikkie" Raylese said
"Yeah, hey whats up" Nikkie said
"Where are you?" Raylese asked
"I'm staying at the 4 seasons" Nikkie said
"Why didn't you call me and tell me. Im on my way over there now" Raylese said then hanging up. 15 minutes later there was a knock on Nikkie's door. She opened it to find Raylese.
"Hey" Nikkie said hugging her sister.
"Nikkie. Why didnt you call" Raylese asked walking in and seating herslef
"I did. Your roomate said you weren't home" Nikkie said
"Oh, yeah well. She's not good with my messages. Nikkie, Jimmy's worried about you" Raylese said
"What? Wait, you talked to Jimmy" Nikkie asked
"Yeah, he called me asking for you. But I had never heard from you" Raylese said. Nikkie froze. Now Jimmy definatley knows that she was not here to see Raylese.
UH-OH
MEANWHILE...
Reggie was on 145th and Lennox ave. where his boys was at. He was in front of the Bronx crossover bridge. He was beside Poocho.
"Yo, Friday night. After the Sweet 16, Ennis needs us to go up to Brooklyn and get the suitcase from Juery's garage" Poocho said
"I aint gon be there" Reggie said
"Ennis said specifically for you and me to go." Poocho said
"Well, Hugo could take my spot" Reggie said
"Slim, you cant blow this shit. He said no one else, but me and you" Poocho said. Reggie sighed and agreed.
After 4 hours of standing around doing business, Reggie finally went back to the hotel. He found Nikkie dress in a pair of office brown pin striped tight capri pants. And a white polo with her collar up and a small tight brown office vest. She had on brown open toe 2 inch heels. Her hair was down in curls. She had on gold medium heart shaped door-knocker earrings. She walked over to him.
"So, your dressed. I need to hop into the shower real quick. Alright" Reggie said. 15 minutes later he came into the room wearing black jeans, all brown suede pradas and a brown t-shirt and his brown leather jacket with fur on the hoody. Nikkie slipped on her thin leather jacket and her purse. Reggie called cab and Reggie took her to a resturaunt. They ate and conversated. Afterwards they walked to Central Park.
"So, we leave Saturday morning, right?" Nikkie asked
"Yeah. We have an afternoon flight so no early wake up calls" Reggie said
"Thats good" Nikkie said
"Listen, sometime throughout the night of the party, I have to leave. But I'll be back" Reggie said
'Why" Nikkie asked
"I have one last business pass I have to make" Reggie said
"Well, as long as your not gone for long. I dont know anyone there" Nikkie said
"Dont worry I'll be back before you notice Im gone" Reggie said
It was Friday night. Nikkie had spent her days. Sightseeing, shopping and studying the culture. Reggie was still walking around not ready yet. He had no idea Nikkie was still not ready either. He found Nikkie out on the balcony in a peach and light pink floral print silk kimono robe. Her hair was wet and she was barefoot. He study her legs. She turned around and found him staring at her,
"Oh, Im sorry. I just thought it was early" Nikkie said
"No, its cool. Im not ready either" Reggie said. Nikkie laughed.
'What's so funny" Reggie asked
"This...me and you" Nikkie said
"What about us" Reggie asked
"Its just. I'd never picture me and you, in a hotel room, by ourselves, far far from home" Nikkie said
"So, what's there to be surprised about" Reggie asked
"As, slick and horny as you are, I'm sure...I'm surprised you havn't tried to put a move on me" Which she wanted. She loved the way he kissed.
"How do you know that Im not planning on it" Reggie asked. Nikkie stared at him. He walked over to her and pulled her towards him. He looked at her lips and she smiled. He leaned in and kissed her. She put her hands on his shoulders. He had his hand on her back pulling her closer to him. He sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned back luring her to stay on top. He untied her silk robe and slipped it off revealing her peach lace bra and panties. He was getting turned on by every move she made. She was kissing his neck and then she snapped into reality and realized where it was leading to. She stopped and looked at him.
"We should get ready" Nikkie said getting off of him. She teased him. He hated that every time he got to her, Jimmy would come into her head. He knew thats what it was. Her guilty consience. But it wasnt her fault that she was that way.
Nikkie got ready for the Sweet 16. She slipped on the peach strapless dress. She put on a peach pair of open toed wedges with the cork bottom. She straightened out her hair. She studie herself in the mirror. She didn't know what she was doing in New York with Reggie. 5 days...and anything could happen. Anything almost did happen. Just now. Nikkie didn't want to push at the line her and Reggie were hanging on because it would leave Nikkie with guilt. She was too in love with Jimmy. She sat down at the edge of the bed and looked at her feet. She heard someone clear their throat. She looked up and saw Reggie in an all white suit with all white ups and an all white new york yankees fitted. He had a peach tie. Nikkie smiled. He had on the chain he had gotten from Alan the Jeweler. She stood up.
"You look good in that dress" he said "Thanks. You look sexy in that suit...Mr. GQ" Nikkie said. Reggie laughed. He popped his collar and striked a pose. Nikkie laughed.
"Are you ready" Reggie asked "Yeah" Nikkie said "Wait, I got something to make us stand out" Reggie said. He pulled out a pair of white framed hollywood sunglasses with the peach tint. He put them on her. And put his on himself.
"Now we will kill it at the party" he said. Nikkie laughed.
Reggie and Nikkie were sitting at the Sweet 16 bored out of their minds. He kept looking at his watch. He finally realized it was 7:30. He had to leave.
"It's time" Reggie told her
"OK" Nikkie said
"Call me. If anything happens" Reggie told her
"Ok" Nikkie said. With that he left. Nikkie was worried. She felt something bad would happen. But also, she was in the same room with the guys who kidnapped her. She did not feel safe. She found herself in corner for what seemed like hours. It had been 2 hours. People were dancing. Spanish music was playing and the lights were flashing. Suddenly someone whipered in her ear
"Let's get out of here" Nikke jumped she turned around and saw Reggie. She jumped up and hugged him
"Oh my god. I thought something bad happened to you" Nikkie said
"No, baby. Im fine" Reggie said "Let's get out of here. Its getting boring" Reggie added pulling her out to the hallway. They walked out and walked towards a little club nearby. They had a few drinks and got a cab back home. They pulled up to the hotel and got out. Reggie and Nikkie were all laughs. They were laughing and seemed a little twisted. They walked up to the door man who was dressed in a hilarious outfit. They laughed in his face. Then when they got in the elevator a man with a dog were in the elevator as well. They started joking on the mans wig right in front of his face. The man got off on his floor angry. Nikke and Reggie kept laughing until they got to their floor.
