Chapter 8: Love Will Find A Way

Thank you so much for all the comments on the last chapter! This Chap is rated M.

Nicki had been in Australia for a couple days now. It was December 2^nd and she was still thinking about Drake every minute of the day. Luckily for her, her fans helped get her mind off of him for a while whenever she saw them. Her and Safaree’s relationship had gotten somewhat better but he was still acting moody. Despite everything, she was having a blast in Australia. She had done three shows already and they had all been sold out.

She loved performing for her fans because that was a way for her to thank them for being so loyal. They always knew all the raps and all the lyrics to her songs. Her last show was tomorrow night then she would be heading to New York to spend Christmas with her family since Drake obviously had given up on her. But she couldn’t blame him. She had basically made out with Safaree and now she had to face the consequences.

Nicki finished putting on her makeup and ran her fingers through her wig one last time before grabbing her purse and heading out of the suite. She was dressed down and had on a pair of skinny jeans that Drake had bought her at the mall, a white fitted tee with gold print, and a pink blazer. She was headed out to have lunch with Rihanna. Surprisingly, Rihanna’s manager had called Manny to tell him that

Rihanna was in Australia doing shows too so they set up a lunch date so that the two of them could catch up. Nicki walked into the restaurant as casually as possible. She adored her fans and wouldn’t mind talking to them but she didn’t want the paparazzi to make a scene. After a few seconds Nicki was greeted by the restaurant manager.

“Hello Ms. Minaj how are you today?”

“I’m fine thank you.” Nicki eyed the short white man.

“Follow me please. Ms. Fenty has been waiting for you for quite some time now.” Nicki followed the man up the stairs to a private area. Rihanna was talking on the phone until she looked up and saw Nicki.

“Okay baby I have to go… love you too.” Rihanna ended the call and stuffed her phone in her purse then stood up to hug Nicki. “Nicki how are you?” She asked in her Barbados accent.

“I’m fine my darling. I’m so sorry I’m late. You know my late ass can never get anywhere on time.” Rihanna laughed and the two shared a friendly hug.

“It’s okay. I kept myself occupied.” The two made small talk while they looked over the menu to decide what to eat. Nicki was in the mood for meat but they didn’t have what she wanted. Rihanna broke Nicki out of her thoughts.

“So you’re out here doing shows too huh? What are the odds of us both being here?”

“Small world.” Crab… that sounds nice… especially with butter.

“So any guys catching your eyes these days?”

“Maybe, what about you?” As soon as Nicki asked that Rihanna blushed.

“Chris and I are going to give it another try.”

“Aww I’m so happy for you. You guys are so cute together. Is that who you were talking to on the phone?”

“Yeah, he’s so sweet you know? He calls me everyday just to tell me how much he misses me.” Rihanna beamed.

“Cute.” Nicki gave a friendly smile. Just then the waiter came to bring water and take their orders. After ordering, the waiter left and the two continued their conversation.

“So who exactly might be catching Nicki Minaj’s eye?”

“Sorry babe but that’s pretty exclusive information.” Nicki took a sip of her drink.

“Oh come on, I told you about me and Chris.”

“But this is how things get out and the whole world already knew about you and Chris. Even a blind man could see it.”

“Please.” Rihanna gave a smile showing her pearly white teeth.

“Fine… it’s Drake.” Once Nicki said that Rihanna’s smile fell.

“Oh… Drake.”

“Yeah.” Nicki smiled to herself looking at the table. “He’s really great.”

Trust me I know. Rihanna thought to herself. Although she was in love with Chris, she had always had feelings towards Drake that she never understood. If she and Chris ever broke up she had always thought of Drake as her back up. If Drake was with Nicki, then who would be there to love her if things didn’t work out between her and Chris? How was Drake supposed to be her rebound boy if he and Nicki were together?

“So you two are together now then?” Rihanna tried to dig for information.

“Well, not exactly. I’m trying to get us past a bump I guess.”

“What do you mean?”

“Just having some problems, that’s all I mean.” Nosey much?

“Good to know.” Rihanna muttered under her breath.

“What?” Nicki was trying to figure is she had heard what she thought she had.

“I said look at the snow.” Rihanna pointed out the window at the falling snow.

“Oh, yeah. The snow.” Nicki took a sip of her drink. Nicki wasn’t a dummy and she felt like she was getting a bad vibe from Rihanna. She was feeling a bit awkward and wanted this lunch to be over as soon as possible. Once the two got their lunch Nicki enjoyed her crab a lot more than she had expected to. Ima be gettin this more often!

Nicki and Rihanna talked a little about shows, music, and upcoming albums. By the time Nicki was finished with her plate she was ready to leave. “Well it was great seeing you again but I have to get going.” Nicki stood up after placing two hundreds on the table.

“You’re not having desert?” Rihanna asked casually before taking the last bite of her food.

“Uh, no. I really have to go. Gotta rehearse and all that for my last show tomorrow.” Nicki knew it was a lie but she needed to get away from Rihanna.

“Oh, well then I guess I’ll see you when I see you.”

“Yeah. Have a great Christmas.” Nicki said heading out of the area to go down the stairs.”

“You too.” And with that Nicki was gone. She couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Maybe she just wasn’t feeling well or maybe her gut was right and Rihanna was bad news. Whatever it was Nicki was ready to go back and relax in her suite for the rest of the afternoon.

After her driver took her back to the hotel she rode the elevator up to the top floor. She used her key card to open the door and was surprised when she walked in that the lights were on. She figured it was just maintenance but when she looked over at the couch she was surprised by who she saw.

“Aubrey.” Nicki stared in disbelief. “You’re here.”

“Yeah, here I am but the question is, was it a waste of time to come?”

“What do you mean?” Nicki walked over to where he was sitting and sat down on the far end of the couch. She wasn’t sure whether she should give him space or not.

“Why are you sitting way over there?”

Guess I got my answer. Nicki slid over towards him on the couch, still not sure of what to do. Drake leaned down and helped her out of her heels then wrapped his arm around her shoulder to bring her into his chest. She snuggled into him and inhaled his scent. He smelled so good and she had missed being in his arms.

“I missed you so much.” Nicki said then buried her face into his warm chest.

“I missed you too.”

“You came for me.”

“I love you. Of course I did.”

“So we’re good?” Nicki said looking up at him.

“No Onika, were not good.” A frown fell upon Nicki’s face and Drake sighed.

“I need you to tell me why you kissed him.”

“He kissed me.” Nicki corrected.

“So you’re telling me you didn’t kiss him back? At all?”

“No.” Nicki said in a small voice.

“So you did kiss him.” Drake said knowingly.

“Yes.” Nicki said in a small voice once again. “But I didn’t mean to. I just got caught up in a moment that wasn’t real.”

“And you know if the tables were turned and I gave you that same excuse it would take a lifetime for you to trust me again.” Nicki laid her head on his chest and said nothing because she knew he was right. Drake chuckled to himself and Nicki looked up. “I guess you’re lucky I’m not you huh?” A huge grin spread across Nicki’s face.

“So you forgive me?” She asked excitedly while sitting up.

“Yes munchkin I forgive you.”

“Hey, I’m no munchkin I’m fun sized.” Nicki pouted while crossing her arms across her chest.

“You don’t wanna be a munchkin?” Drake asked as he lifted Nicki onto his lap to face him. She shook her head no. “Not even my munchkin?” Drake slid her pink blazer down her arms and laid it on the back of the couch.

“Mmm, I guess I could be your munchkin.” Nicki wrapped her arms around his neck and attacked his lips. Drake rubbed his hands up and down her thighs as both of them were getting more and more into the kiss. Drake picked her up and headed to the bedroom not breaking the kiss. Once he entered the doorway Nicki pulled apart from him and looked into his eyes.  “Aubrey.”

“Yes sweetheart.”

“Please don’t ever leave me.”

“Never.” He laid her on the bed. He lifted his shirt over his head and tossed it across the room then leaned down to kiss her. He ran his fingers through her hair while they continued to kiss passionately. He snaked his hands under her shirt and then broke the kiss so he could lift it over her head. After he flung it somewhere in the room he crashed his lips into hers once again. He ran his hands all over her body. Her skin was so smooth.

Nicki arched her back so that he could unhook her bra. Once he got rid of that too, he moved his lips downward. He placed soft kisses down her neck while taking his time with her. This was the night he had been dreaming about for so many years and he wanted it to be perfect. He moved to her shoulder still caressing her body and running his fingertips up and down her sides.

Drake continued to move lower, leaving a trail of wet kisses behind. Nicki’s breathing was picking up. His lips felt so good on her body and she didn’t want him to stop. He moved his hands up to her breasts. He was in awe of them. He looked up at her and slipped one into his mouth. Nicki moaned out in pleasure as he massaged the other one. He gave the other the same treatment then decided to continue his quest.

He kissed over her ribs, then her stomach, and past her belly button. He unbuttoned her jeans and slid them down over her thick thighs and let them drop to the floor. He leaned back up and kissed her lips again while he slid his hand into her thong. His fingers brushed past the smooth skin and down to her wet center. He found her clit and began massaging her in slow circles. Nicki moaned into his mouth and wrapped her arms around his back.

He smiled at the moisture he was creating. He then dipped two fingers into her wetness. She was tight. He removed his hand and moved down towards the edge of the bed. Drake took off his black jeans and tossed them somewhere in the room. He then pulled Nicki’s thong off in one swift motion and dipped his tongue into her center. She moaned out in pleasure.

Drake continued working his tongue and Nicki ran her hands through his curly hair. It had grown out a little since the last time she saw him. All that could be heard in the room were Nicki’s low moans. She was in heaven. His tongue game was unmatched. Soon enough she felt a familiar feeling rush over her body. A feeling she hadn't felt in a while.

“Brey.” She moaned.

“Shh baby just let it happen.” Drake flicked his tongue over her clit one last time and she cried out in pleasure as she released into is mouth. After Drake cleaned her up he took his boxers off and leaned up to kiss her.

“Do you have a condom?” Nicki breathed heavily.

“No but I’ll pull out.” Nicki gave him an unsure look. “I promise.”

“Brey-”

“Do you trust me?” Drake asked looking into her beautiful eyes.

“With all my heart.” That was all he needed to hear. He positioned himself between her legs and spread her second set of lips. He carefully inserted his head into her wetness.

“Wait Aubrey.”

“Hmm?” He buried his face into her neck and sucked on her smooth skin.

“I… I’m not ready.” Drake lifted his head to look at her. He sighed while pulling out then rolled off of her onto his back trying to catch his breath. Nicki got up with the silk sheet wrapped around her body and went to the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and dropped the sheet. The best thing she thought she needed was a warm shower to gather her thoughts. She turned the shower on and waited for it to get warm.

Once it got to the temperature she liked, she stepped in and let the water cascade over her body. She leaned her head under the showerhead and let her hair get wet. She grabbed her Victoria Secret body wash and her washcloth that she had brought and lathered up her body. The vanilla scented aroma cleared up her head as she rinsed the suds off. She stepped out the shower and wrapped herself up in a towel. She looked at herself in the mirror.

Why am I doing this to myself? Why can’t I just let go off my past and let him love me. God knows I want to but I can’t be hurt again. God, I almost gave myself to him and we’ve only been officially dating for two weeks. And without a condom? What was I thinking! But I love him though. Maybe that’s what I was thinking. Is it so bad to share myself with the person I love? I’ve known him for more than five years. He’s the only person that can identify with how I feel sometimes. He gets me in a way that no other person does. Not even Safaree. Shit, I forgot all about Safaree. What’s up with him? I act like I don’t love him anymore but I can’t fool myself. I just don’t know what kind of love that is. I don’t think I ever really stopped loving him but he hurt me and I don’t tolerate that abusive shit. Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me want to punch a wall or something. I know Drake would never hut me. I need to talk to him. I probably made him feel like he did something wrong but it’s me. I need to get out of my head and just love him.

Nicki opened the bathroom door and looked out at Drake. He was lying on his back in only his boxers. He had his arms behind his head and was looking up at the ceiling. Man I really fucked up this time. I probably pressured her into all of that but I thought she was into it… Drake snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Nicki sit down on the bed. He looked over at her wrapped up in her towel and watched beads of water slide down her exposed skin. He sat up to face her with clear guilt on his face.

“It was the condom thing wasn’t it?” He asked, rubbing the back of his head.

“No, it wasn’t. I just feel like things are moving too fast. We haven’t even been a couple for that long and I need time to think things over.”

“But what is there to think over? I love you and you love me so why can’t we just celebrate our love?”

“Because I need time to get more comfortable with you being my boyfriend before we can have sex Aubrey.” Drake sighed.

“If that’s what you want then I can wait.”

“Really?” Nicki asked with a small smile.

“Yeah. I waited five years so I guess I can wait a little longer.”

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too.” Nicki leaned closer to Drake and kissed him. “Now go get dressed so I can take you out.” Nicki smiled and got up to go to the closet to find something to wear.

“Where are we going?”

“Somewhere fun. Just dress comfortable.”

“Why can’t you ever tell me where we’re going?”

“Cause I’m bad like that.” Nicki scoffed.

“Whatever.” Nicki grabbed her clothes and went back to the bathroom to dry off and change. Since Christmas was nearing Nicki settled for some white skinny jeans and a red sweater. When she came back out Drake was fully dressed and waiting on the side of her bed.

“Look at you with all that Christmas spirit.”

“Yeah and look at you with all that black.” Nicki said sarcastically.

“You ready?”

“Yep, just let me call maintenance to come and change the sheets.” After Nicki called them, she and Drake made their way down to the lobby and into Drake’s rental car. Meanwhile, Safaree was just headed to Nicki’s room because they had made plans to go out. Sadly, he was beginning to feel like the chances of him and Nicki getting back together were gone but at least he could spend sometime with her in Australia without Drake being in the way. Safaree knocked on the door and waited for an answer. He was surprised when a maid opened the door instead of Nicki.

“Uh, hi.”

“Hello sir. How are you?”

“Fine… what are you doing in here?”

“Just changing sheets sir.”

“Don’t you do that in the morning?”

“Yes we do sir but we just got a request to change the sheets.”

“Oh, so would you happen to know where Nicki Minaj went?”

“This is Nicki Minaj’s room!” The maid’s eyes got wide.

“Yeah but do you know where she went?” Safaree was getting agitated by the second.”

“Oh. Yes sir she was spotted leaving the hotel with Drake. They’re such a cute couple.”

“Drake?”

“Yes sir.”

“He’s here? In Australia?”

“That’s what I heard sir.”

Safaree turned around and headed back to his room infuriated. Changing the sheets huh? So they’re fucking now?” Safaree opened then slammed his room door behind him. He threw his suitcases on the bed then went to the closet to grab his clothes. He threw them into his suitcases with the rest if his things and zipped them up. I’m over this shit.

Thank you for reading. Please comment.
