* Dream/ Flashback over *

Imani shot up out of her dream then sighed.

She decided to take a shower because she was covered in sweat and that's exactly what she did.

She got her clothes ready and took her speaker in the bathroom.

She seen that it was some bubble gum, bubble bath in the bathroom and smiled.

She filled the tub up with water and bubbles then got in the bath tub.

Her bathtub was separated from her shower. Which she will be getting in after she takes her bath.

(A/N- "ya little nasty." *Raven's voice*)

She started playing with the bubbles and giggling while playing with them.

She was truly having fun.

•••

She had got done with her shower and walked back into her room.

She heard talking downstairs but got distracted by one of the stuff animals she left out.

She wanted to stay up there and cuddle the stuff toy, but she decided not to be weird and go downstairs.

She walked downstairs to see everybody eating.

"Here you go. I was finna go get you, the food just got done." Nalea gave Mani the plate and mani smiled.

"Thank you." She told Lea then say at the island and started eating. Not before saying grace of course.

Cause God will need to be on their side.. can I get an Amen?

(A/N- Bump y'all then.. I'll give myself one.. Amen.)

"What are we doing today?" Neveah softly asked.

"We're teaching y'all got to shoot." Pooter answered.

"I dwon't wanna swoot— It sound fun." Mani caught herself.

The group looked at her weird then continued to talk.

"When we going to the gun range?" Lea asked making Nelly face palm hisself.

"We have a gun range in here, dummy." He said making her shoot him a bird.

" I ain't know allat." She shrugged.

"We going after we eat." Pooter said making everybody nod and eat their food.

•••

Everybody got done eating, and were now heading to one of the gun ranges, that's in the basement.

"It's fye AS FUCK in here." Nelly said making it echo.

"Come on." Nelly said to Mani making her walk over to him.

"You know how to hold the gun, right?" He asked picking up a pistol .40.

Imani shook her head and he sighed.

"Look." He held the gun and shot the gun.

"Wow." She said about to clap her hands together but she stopped herself.

"Your turn." He gave her the gun and she held it perfectly.

She got the gun, making it send vibrations into her body and she giggled.

"You good?" He asked, making her nod. She continued to shoot the gun and smile.

Mir was teaching Veah.. obviously.

Pooter was teaching Lea

And Kaash was just shooting.

He watched her and smiled. "LOOK AT MANI SHOOTING THAT THANG!" He yelled.

•••

Imani just got out the shower again because after the gun range she felt sweaty.

She was now on the verge of getting all of the stuff out of the garbage bag.

"Fuck it." She mumbled then walked into her closet and got the bag.

She poured everything out and smiled at everything.

She started putting everything where she wanted it, until the door opened.

"Neveah just co— what the fuck." Nelly cut hisself off.

Imani turned around so fast you would've though the had whiplash.

She felt a wave on embarrassment wash over her as she covered her face with her hands.

Nelly walked in and closed the door after him.

"What's all this?" He asked.

"It's nothing."

"It's something." He looked around her room and seen a dozen stuff animals on her bed. Along with pacifiers, sippie cups, and some toys, around her room.

"Can you get out?" She asked.

"No what— get outtt." She whined, kicking her feet.

"Imani, stop doing that shit." He said getting serious, making Mani jerk her head back.

She never saw Nelly serious, unless it's with Bossman.

"I'm a little." She mumbled.

"Speak up."

"I'm a little." She told him, making him look like.

"I would've never thought." He said looking around, holding his hip.

"Alright. Since you shared a secret with me, imma share one with you." He said making her eyes light up.

"Really?" She asked grabbing one of her stuff animals.

"I got OCD." He told her making her look confused.

"The cleaning disorder?" She asked making him chuckle.

"OCD is not just for cleaning. It's like, when I think about something, that's not normal, I feel like I have to do it. And imma do it, over and over again." He explained.

"Oh. I get it." She nodded.

"Do you have anything else?" She asked, genuinely curious.

"You don't even know." He chuckled, scratching the back of his head.
