Wrath of a Side Chick 3: A Chicago Hood Drama (Side Chick's Wrath)
Page 16
Nikki stepped out of the car and waved goodbye to the guy. He pulled away and disappeared. “Who woulda fuckin’ thought?” Nikki asked herself as she looked toward her apartment building. “A nigga that actually ain’t want nothin’ more than to just help a chick out. Shit, maybe I shoulda tried to get with him.”
Nikki felt a little different now being in the parking lot of her apartment complex. As she made her way across the lot, it didn’t feel the way it normally would. The feeling of home had been stripped away from it. As she approached the walkway that led to her apartment, her eyes were drawn to the very parking spot where the green minivan had been parked – the ride that had changed her life. Nikki then looked around for Gracelyn’s car, seeing that it wasn’t there. She let out a deep sigh, feeling like her life could not get any worse.
With a change of direction, she headed over to the office. It was open until 6pm, meaning that time would truly have to be on her side at this late in the afternoon. She was in luck, however, as when she’d gotten to the small office building, 6 o’clock was just approaching. When Nikki walked into the building, Ms. Nelson, a nice older black woman, looked her up and down.
“Nikki,” she said, “the police were here, at your apartment. What happened?”
Nikki shook her head. “You wouldn’t believe what happened to me, Miss Nelson,” she said. “Can you please let me into my apartment? And no, I don’t want to call the police right now. I just want to go home. Please. I don’t have my keys and my roommate ain’t home. Can you please just let me into my apartment?”
The older black woman went into the desk drawer with the spare apartment keys and dug out the key to Nikki’s apartment. “All right, baby,” she said. She then walked Nikki out of the building and across the parking lot. She insisted on Nikki calling the police, but she refused. Such a response told Ms. Nelson that this young lady was involved in something she’d probably had no business being a part of – something that didn’t surprise her the least bit in Chicago.
Once Nikki was inside of her apartment, she thanked Ms. Nelson and closed the door swiftly. With her back against the door, she breathed heavily and closed her eyes. Everything she’d been through had taken a real toll on her. “I’mma get that nigga, Breon,” she said, her words full of hatred; her lips tights as her words were crisp. “Won’t no nigga just do that to me and get away with it. Fuck that.”
