Chapter 9: B-Day

Drake had been hanging out at Nicki’s house for the entire day. After setting things straight in Australia, the two had been spending a lot of time together. They still hadn’t gone public with their relationship. Nicki still wasn’t ready for the media to know and whether he knew it or not, neither was Drake.

Drake sat on Nicki’s couch with her in his lap. Drake was checking his schedule on his phone and Nicki was cracking up at Judge Judy. Drake looked down at her and smiled. He thought her laugh was the cutest thing. Nicki felt Drake staring at her and looked up at him.

“What?”

“Nothing.” Drake’s smile got bigger. “You’re just so beautiful.”

“And you’re just the sweetest thing ever.” Nicki leaned up and kissed him. Just then Nicki felt a painful knot in her stomach. “Oww.” Nicki whined and clutched her stomach.

“You okay?” Drake asked, concerned but Nicki didn’t answer. Drake waited a few seconds and watched until her face relax. “Nic, you alright?”

“Yeah, my stomach just hurt but I’m fine now.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, just cramps.” Nicki gave him a small smile.

“Good.” Drake ran his fingers through her natural hair and kissed her again.

“I’ll be right back.” Nicki hoped up off the couch and Drake watched her disappear up the stairs then turned his attention back to his phone. After a few minutes Drake heard Nicki’s small feet coming back down the stairs. He looked up and saw her carrying a black gift bag from Gucci. Nicki made her way over to the couch and straddled Drake’s lap then set the bag down next to them.

“What’s that?” Drake asked as he placed his hands on her waist.

“Something for you.” Nicki kissed his lips softly.

“Yeah?”

“Mhmm” Nicki kissed him again.

“Well let me see it.” Nicki bit her bottom lip while she leaned over and pulled a blue and green patterned shirt out of the bag. She held it up in front of her so Drake could see it. All Drake could do was stare and Nicki picked up on his reaction.

“You don’t like it.” Nicki pouted while putting the shirt down to rest in her lap. Drake immediately felt bad.

“No, it’s not that. It’s nice but it’s just not really… my style.” Drake stroked her cheek to try and make her feel better.

“But I like it. It’s colorful and you hardly ever wear colorful stuff.” Drake sighed.

“Well if you want me to wear it I will.”

“But I don’t want you to wear it because I like it. I want you to wear it because you like it.” Nicki was still pouting and looking down at the shirt. Drake lifted her chin to look at her.

“I’ll wear it because I love it and because you picked it out. Every time I wear it I’ll think of you.” Nicki smiled and kissed him.

“I swear you’re the best boyfriend in the world.”

“Yeah, I know.” Drake kissed her forehead and Nicki wrapped her arms around his neck.

“So do you know what tomorrow is?” Nicki beamed.

“Uhh… tomorrow?”

“Aubrey don’t play dumb. What’s tomorrow?”

“The eighth?” When he said that Nicki’s entire face fell.

“I’m playing with you Nic. I know it’s your birthday tomorrow.”

“That’s not funny.” Nicki tried not to smile but she couldn’t help it.

“You have anything in mind that you wanna do?”

“I don’t know, as long as I get to spend the day with you I’m good.” Nicki couldn’t stop smiling. She was happy that she’d be spending her birthday with Drake this year. She honestly didn’t care where they were or what they were doing. As long as they were together it didn’t matter. “So you really like it?” Nicki let out a small yawn and laid her head on his shoulder.

“Yeah, I do.” Drake stroked her back. “I thought it was a little bright at first but…” Drake held the shirt up to take a better look at it. “…yeah I love it.”

“Good.” Nicki let out another yawn.

“You tired babe?”

“Yeah.” Nicki said softly.

“It’s only six Nic.”

“But I’m tired.” Nicki tightened her arms around his neck and snuggled into him. “You staying with me?”

“You want me to?” Nicki nodded her head. Drake got up and carried Nicki upstairs. He gently set her down on the bed and removed her black sweats because he knew she didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in them. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her thighs.

He was getting hard just thinking about the other night that the two had shared. He pulled back the sheets and let her slide in between the covers. He kissed her forehead then stripped down to his boxers. He climbed in next to her and pulled her close so that her back was resting into his chest. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

*****

Nicki woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. She felt behind her for Drake and noticed that he wasn’t there. She looked around and noticed that she wasn’t in her room.

“The fuck?” Nicki got out of the bed and saw that she was fully dressed. She had on purple sweats and a black tank top. She went over to the unfamiliar door and opened it. As soon as she did she Drake saw sitting on a couch watching TV but nothing looked familiar. Nicki was trying to understand what was going on but she was beyond drowsy. Her head was spinning and she just wanted to be in Drake’s arms.

“Drake?” Drake looked over at Nicki with her arms held out.

“Hey, look who’s up.” Drake got up walked over to Nicki. He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips then picked her up and walked over to the couch. He sat them down and Nicki looked over at the odd looking windows.

“Are we… on a plane?” A smile spread across Drake’s face.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because, we’re going somewhere for your birthday.”

“Really?” Nicki was tired but she was still excited. “Where we going?”

“You’re not gonna like my answer.” Drake smirked and Nicki sighed.

“Surprise?” Nicki closed her eyes and laid her head on his chest. Drake laughed to himself.

“Yeah, it’s a surprise.”

“You hungry?”

“No, I wanna go back to sleep.” Drake turned his attention back to the TV while Nicki drifted off to sleep.

When Nicki woke up again she was still in arms. She looked up at him reading something on his phone. How did I get so lucky? And why the hell did I wait so long for this? Drake felt her shift and looked down at her in her peaceful state. He was happy that he could get her to relax. She had been so stressed lately trying to organize shows, events, and dealing with everything else that had to do with being Nicki Minaj. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

“Happy Birthday beautiful.”

“Thanks.” Nicki smiled and kissed him back. She let out a small yawn as Drake ran his fingers through her hair. She couldn’t help but stare at his expression. His ear-to-ear goofy smile let her know something was up. “What?”

“Do you really wanna know?”

“Know what?” Nicki looked at him getting exited.

“Mmm… I don’t think the kid can handle it.” Drake shrugged and turned his attention back to his phone.

“You know what…” Nicki got up and straddled his lap. She tossed his iPhone to the other end of the couch and gave him her dead face. Drake couldn’t help but laugh and Nicki tried to keep a straight but failed. “You are too goofy you know that?” Nicki smiled and gave him a kiss. Drake kissed her back and slid his hands over her ass.

“You love it though.” Drake pulled away and looked into her eyes.

“You’re right, I do.” Nicki kissed him again. She couldn’t get enough of his lips.

“You hungry?”

“No, why are you so obsessed with getting me to eat?” Drake shrugged. “Are you trying to get me fat?”

“No, but I’m trying to keep some parts of you fat.” As soon as he said that Nicki busted out laughing.

“Look playboy, stop trying to change the subject and tell me where we’re going.”

“That’s not the subject we were on.” Drake smiled.

“Please.” Nicki pleaded in a babyish voice. “What were you gonna tell me then?”

“To look out your window.” Nicki’s eyes opened wide and she quickly sat up and leaned over Drake’s head to look out the window behind him. Nicki speculated and as soon as she recognized where they were her mouth fell open.

“Shut the fuck up… Aubrey you did not do this.”

“I did.” Drake was looking straight ahead. He was getting the best view of her boobs and he wasn’t going to miss a thing. Nicki was still looking out the window oblivious to anything else that was going on.

“You did this just for me?”

“Of course, I’d do anything for you.” Drake kissed the top of her cleavage.

“Okay, hold up.” Nicki snapped out of her trance and sat back down in his lap so that they were looking into each other’s eyes. “Babe we talked about this.”

“Well damn, I wasn’t even doin anything.” Nicki side eyed him.

“You and I both know what you were thinking.”

“How do you know what I was thinking?” Drake challenged.

“I can feel what you’re thinking.” Drake just stared at her.

“You wana help me out with my problem?” Drake asked with a smile.

“No, I don’t.” Drake sighed and buried his face into her neck, inhaling her scent.

“But why? I been good.”

“Because I don’t give away quick nuts Aubrey. And if that’s the type of girl you want then you should be with a hoe from one of your music videos.” Nicki got up off his lap and walked to another seat, feeling a bit insulted. Drake caught the sadness in her voice and walked over to her. She had her arms and legs crossed and was staring out the window. Drake waited a few seconds but she didn’t budge.

“So you just gonna act like I’m not here anymore?” Drake leaned down and placed his forehead against hers. She looked up at him and Drake stole a kiss. Nicki sighed.

“I don’t like being pressured Drake.”

“Drake?”

“I’m mad at you.” Nicki pouted.

“I’m sorry.” Drake said sincerely. “I really didn’t mean to make you feel that way.”

“I have to be ready. So that when we do have sex for the first time it’ll be special and mean something. Do you understand that?”

“Yeah, I understand.” Nicki placed both of her hands on either side of his face and pulled him down for a kiss. “I love you.”

“Not more than I love you.”

“Oh yeah?” Nicki cocked her head and lifted an eyebrow. Drake thought she looked like the cutest thing.

“I promise.” Nicki smiled.

“I can’t believe you brought me here.” Nicki stood up and held her arms out for a hug.

“I’m really glad you’re happy because I was kinda scared you wouldn’t like it.” Drake leaned down and wrapped his arms securely around her body.

“Are you kidding? I love this place. And I’m obsessed with the people here too.” Just then there was a knock at the door. Drake reluctantly pulled away from Nicki.

“Come in.” He said obviously annoyed. A lady in a flight attendant’s uniform cautiously came in.

“I’m sorry sir. I know you didn’t want any staff in here but we tried your phone and got no response.” The lady stammered nervously.

“What is it?” Drake asked blankly.

“I just wanted to tell you that we’ll be landing in about ten minutes.

“Okay.” The short blond haired lady backed up and left out the door.

‘Thank you.” Nicki said right before the door shut then gave Drake her WTF face.

“What?” Drake asked innocently and grabbed her waist, pulling her towards him.

“Don’t take your shit out on other people Aubrey.”

“I wasn’t takin anything out on her Nic.” Drake kissed her neck but Nicki pushed him away to look at him him.”

“Just because your horney doesn’t mean you get to be a dick.”

“I just don’t like people interrupting our time together. You know I start my tour in February.”

“I know but we’ll make time. Let’s just enjoy what’s happening now.”

“I love you so much. You know that?” Nicki smiled.

“Yes, you tell me every day.” Nicki wrapped her arms around his neck and Drake bent down and kissed her lips.

“And I’ll continue to tell you every day until the day I die.”

“You really mean that?”

“Yeah, I really do.”

*****

Drake and Nicki passed the shops as they walked hand in hand to the restaurant that Drake had made reservations for.

“Aubrey this is place is so beautiful. Thank you again.”

“Anything for you Nic.” Drake helped Nicki up the stairs as they made their way to the restaurant. Once they arrived, they were immediately seated next to the window. Nicki couldn’t stop staring. The view was so beautiful.

“Wow Aubrey, you can see all of Paris from here.”

“Yeah I know. You see the Eiffel tower?” Drake pointed slightly to the their left.

“Oh my god. I wish I could go there.” A smile spread across Drakes face.

“We are going there.” Nicki looked over at him confused.

“Babe it’s probably too crowded. We’re lucky we didn’t get spotted today.”

“I got this Nic.”

“Oh you got this huh?” Drake shrugged his shoulders with a nod. “Oh, so you got this good enough to order our food in French?” Nicki asked in a cocky tone, motioning towards the waiter. Drake looked at her and playfully rolled his eyes.

“Girl stop playin. You know I don’t speak French.”

“Hello sir, are you two ready to order.” Drake looked over at Nicki with the most annoying smile on his face.

“I don’t know. Nic are you ready to order? Maybe in French?” Nicki gave Drake her dead face. As soon as the waiter left Drake stuck his tongue out at her and Nicki did the same thing. After Drake and Nicki finished their food, they were walking to a store that Nicki wanted to go to. After they entered the store, Nicki went straight to the men’s section and Drake followed behind her.

“You not shoppin for me again are you?” Drake asked as he leaned against a wall. Nicki said nothing and just smiled as she held up a black jacket. “That’s not my size you know. It’s too small.”

“This isn’t for you.” Drake placed his hand over his heart and pretended to look hurt.

“You mean your shopping for another man?” He asked dramatically.

“Shut up.” Nicki couldn’t help but laugh. “This is for Caiah.”

“Yeah, no offense Nic but I don’t think that the highlight of a 16 year old’s Christmas is gonna be clothes.”

“I’m getting him other stuff too dummy.” Nicki went over to another rack of clothes to look at some jeans. “And he always loves what I get him no matter what it is so hush up.” Drake followed her and hugged her from behind.

“So when you gonna tell your family about us.” Drake hissed her neck.

“I don’t know.” Nicki sighed. “Maybe Christmas time.”

“It is Christmas time.”

“I mean Christmas when we go visit them.”

“We?”

“Yes, we.” Nicki turned around and looked at him. “What? You don’t wanna go?”

“No of course I do.” Drake kissed her forehead. “I just wasn’t expecting you to want me to meet them so early.”

“Well it’s not like they don’t know you. I mean Caiah practically knows all your lyrics and Lani thinks your okay.”

“Oh, so ya’ll be talkin about me?” Nicki rolled her eyes.

“Your Drake. Everybody’s always talking about you. Now put on your shades so I can go pay for this. “Nicki put on her own shades then brought the clothes to the counter but of course that didn’t stop the cashier from noticing who they were. After signing boobs and taking pictures with everyone else in the store, Drake and Nicki left and headed for the hotel. Once they got to their penthouse suite, Drake put away everything that Nicki had bought while Nicki sat on the king sized bed and took off her sandals.

“You know what I really want?”

“No. What?”

“I really want some ice cream right now.” Nicki said as she laid back on the bed.

“Well I’ll call room service to bring us some.” Drake went over to the phone and dialed room service. “What kind you want?”

“Mmm. You think they have butter pecan?”

“I don’t know. We’ll see.” Drake turned his attention back to the phone. “Yes can I have one butter pecan ice cream and one vanilla sent up please? Thank you.” Drake hung up the phone and went over to the closet and began to strip his clothes off. Once he was only in his boxers he looked back at Nicki who was smiling. “Perve.”

“What? I can’t enjoy a peep show?” Drake pulled down his boxers then shook them off at his ankles and began walking towards the bathroom. “Wait. Come here.”

“Na, you don’t get to start anything you not gon finish.” Drake closed the door behind him and Nicki flipped over on her stomach and pulled her phone out of her pocket. She opened her twitter and tweeted to her barbs. When Drake came out the bathroom, she was retweeting a ton of tweets from her barbs and laughing at the stuff they were saying.

Drake walked over to his suitcase and pulled out a pair of boxers since he still hadn’t unpacked yet. He looked over at Nicki who was paying no attention to him. After slipping his boxers on, he grabbed some lotion and walked over to the bed. He sat down next to her but she was oblivious to anything that wasn’t twitter. Drake quickly swiped her iPhone and held it behind his back.

“Hey.” Drake smiled and challenged her by lifting his eyebrows. “Give it back naughty boy.” She said in a British accent and Drake tried to mimic her.

“Naughty boy?”

“Yes.”

“You gon punish me?” Nicki rose up and straddled his lap in attempt to get her phone back but Drake just held his arm as far away from her as possible.

“Aubrey stop. Your not funny.” Nicki said with a pout. She kept reaching but no matter how far she tried she couldn’t reach her phone. “Give it to me.” She whined.

“No.” She finally gave up and was now sitting in his lap staring him down. “You look so cute when you pout.” Drake said after he stole a kiss.

“Please give it back.” Nicki said sadly.

“Nope.”

“Fine.” Nicki got off his lap and ran to her suitcase. As soon as Drake caught on he ran over to stop her but she was already holding her Blackberry.

“You not gon give me back my phone, I’ll just use this one.” She said as she held the phone up in front of his face.

“Okay.” Drake agreed, knowing she hated using her Blackberry for twitter. Nicki frowned and looked at him with her best puppy dog face. “Here.” Drake held out his had and Nicki took her phone with a smile and Drake smirked.

“All I wanted you to do was rub me down with lotion. But… since you wanna be a drama queen I guess I’ll do it myself.” Drake turned and had began walking over to the bed.

“No I wanna do it.”

Nicki walked over to him and seductively pushed him down on the bed. Drake smirked and rolled over. Nicki straddled his back and squirted the lotion in her palms then rubbed them together to warm it up. She placed her hands on his back and began to massage him. Drake relaxed as he enjoyed her soft small hands moving up and down his back.

Once she was finished he flipped over and she did the same with his chest. The two locked eyes and Nicki bent over to kiss his lips. Drake held her waist securely in place and deepened their kiss. Nicki pulled away and looked into his eyes. As soon as Drake snapped out of his trance he remembered the plans that he had made for them later that night.

“Baby I gotta get dressed.” Drake got up and went over to the closet.

“Why.” Nicki wasn’t aware that they were going anywhere.

“I’m taking you somewhere.”

“Aubrey don’t play games with me.” Nicki said seriously.

“If you really want to know I’ll tell you but you’ll ruin the surprise for yourself.” Drake had his back turned and was picking out his clothes for tonight. Nicki’s mind pondered for a minute and wondered if she really wanted to know.

“Fine.”

“Fine what?” Nicki could hear the smirk in his voice.

“I’ll wait.” Nicki said lowly. Just then there was a knock at the door.

“That’s probably room service. You wanna get that?” Drake said as he pulled on his white jeans.

“K.” Nicki hoped off the bed and answered the door. After talking with the lady Nicki brought the ice cream to the coffee table in front of the couch and started on hers. A few minutes later, Drake came out in his wife beater looking for Nicki and spotted her on the couch. Drake grabbed the remote for the TV before sitting down next to her. He draped his arm around her shoulders and she moved closer so that she could snuggle up to him.

He picked up his ice cream and turned on the TV. After finishing his, Drake looked down to see Nicki asleep with the empty ice cream cup in her hand. He gently moved it and set it on the coffee table then picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth. He fixed her better so that her head was lying in his lap then turned his attention back to the TV. Later, Nicki woke up feeling refreshed. She looked around and noticed she was in the bed by herself.

“Aubrey?” When she got no answer she got out the bed and went to the living room to find Drake on the phone. When he looked up and saw Nicki he ended the call.

“Hey.” He walked up to her and hugged her around her waist then kissed her forehead. “You sleep well?”

“Yeah.” Nicki said while stretching her arms. “What time is it?”

“Almost seven.”

“Damn, I slept that long?”

“Well you didn’t sleep after we got off the plane so I figured you needed it.” Nicki held out her arms to be hugged again and Drake bent down and picked her up to carry her back to the bedroom. He sat Nicki down on the bed and went over to the closet. “You should get dressed.”

“We’re going now?”

“We can go whenever you want.” Drake said as he pulled out the colorful shirt Nicki had bought him. As soon as Nicki saw it a huge smile spread across her face.

“You’re wearing it?” Nicki asked excitedly.

“Yeah. I told you I liked it.”

“I’m glad.” Nicki couldn’t stop smiling. “Ima go shower.”

“Alright.” Once Nicki got out the shower she heard Drake outside on the phone again.

Who is he talkin to? Nicki sat down on the bed and lotioned up her body then went over to her suitcase to get her clothes. What should I wear? After Nicki put on her matching lace bra and thong, she looked over and saw a short, pink, body hugging dress draped over one of the chairs. She walked over to the dress to get a better look at it. Once Nicki lifted it up, she saw a shoebox underneath. She lifted the lid and saw zebra print heels.

“Oh my god.”

“You like what you see?” Drake asked lowly into her ear. His soft velvety voice sent chills down her spine and made her shiver.

“I love them.” Nicki said as she continued to stare at the shoes in awe.

“Good, cause I know I like what I see.” Drake hugged her from behind and buried his face into her neck. “You smell so good.” He caressed her bare skin while he kissed her neck. Drake detached himself from her and spun her around. “Damn girl.” Drake bit his lip. Drake lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He gently laid her back and started kissing up her chest.

“Aubrey…”

“We’re not gonna do anything.” Drake rose up and looked down into her eyes. “I just wanna make you feel good.” Drake kissed her lips. “You gon let me do that?” Nicki nodded her head and closed her eyes, loving the feel of his hands. Drake kissed down her body leaving no part of her untouched. He removed her thong and buried his face in between her thighs.

*****

“Nic you sure you don’t wanna see? This view is amazing.” Nicki just shook her head no into his chest. Drake knew she was afraid of heights so he didn’t want to pressure her. The two were on an elevator headed to the top of the Eiffel tower. “We’re almost up.” Drake comforted her as he held her tighter around her waist. Once she heard the elevator doors open, she looked up to see nothing but darkness.

“There’s no one here.” As if on cue, right after she said that, bright lights came on.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICKI!” A sea of voices shouted. Nicki looked around at the many familiar faces then looked up at Drake.

“You didn’t?”

“I did. I told you I got this.”

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.

Nicki's Outfit

Chapter 7: Letting Go

“Babe I’m back!” Nicki opened then closed the door behind her. “Faree?” Nicki made her way to the bedroom and saw Safaree sitting on the bed. He had his eyes closed and his fists balled up tight. He was shaking and breathing heavily. “Faree are you okay? What’s wrong?” Nicki began to walk over to him.

“Don’t you dare come near me.” He said in a low voice.

“What? Safaree what are you talking about?” Nicki stood in front of him but before she could say another word Safaree had pushed her across the room. She didn’t know exactly what happened but she was on the floor and her back hurt. She looked up and saw Safaree walking over to her. She stretched out her arms to be helped up but that wasn’t the response you got.

“You think you can play me? I’ve been completely faithful to you Onika and you play me like this!”

“Safaree …” Nicki was scared out of her mind. She had never seen him like this before. “Safaree please calm down.” Her voice was shaking. Safaree picked her up by the collar of her shirt and slammed her against the wall.

“Don’t tell me to calm down! You cheat on me and you think you can tell me what the fuck to do!”

“Safaree I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand. I would never cheat on you. I love you.” Nicki was sobbing at this point. Her back hurt and her head was throbbing from being slammed into the wall. Worst of all, she was being thrown around and yelled at by the man that was supposed to love and protect her. Safaree gripped her neck and leaned close to her face.

“Don't you dare lie to me.” He spat and tightened his grip. It was getting harder for Nicki to breathe. The air was escaping and it wasn't coming back.

“Sa-fa-ree p-lease.” She could barely get the words out.

“I give you my all…” Safaree could feel himself getting angrier by the second. “…and Rex comes and tells me you sucked him off!” Safaree was gripping her neck with all force. She was starting to slip away and see the light leave her.

“Sa-fa…” that was it Nicki slipped away into the darkness.

“Nicki … Nicki … Nicki.” Nicki woke up to see Safaree hovering over her gently shaking her. Her eyes got wide at the sudden site of Safaree but she quickly composed herself when she looked around and realized that she was on a plane.

“Hey sleepy.” Safaree smiled. “We just landed. You hungry?” He asked as he unbuckled her seatbelt for her. She was dazed and out of breath but then remembered that they were flying to Australia.

“Nic?”

“Hmm?”

“You hungry?”

“Uh, no. Just tired.”

“You want me to carry you to the limo?”

“No Safaree I can walk.” She said annoyed then getting up. As soon as she took a step, she tripped and nearly fell but Safaree was right there to catch her.

“Thanks.” Nicki said dryly.

“I'll always be here for you Nic.” She still didn't feel like talking to him. She was jetlagged and drowsy from her sleeping pills. It was only 2:00 in the afternoon but she was in no condition to be exploring Australia right now. Nicki, Safaree, and the rest of her team arrived at the hotel and checked in. When Nicki entered the master suite Safaree entered behind her carrying her bags. They made their way into the bedroom and she plopped down on the bed. She watched Safaree set her bags in front of the dresser. She was expecting him to leave but then he started to unpack her bags for her. To say she was annoyed would be an understatement. She was still mad at him.

“Safaree you don’t have to do that.”

“It's no problem Nic really.” He continued to unpack her shoe bag and placed two more pairs in the closet. Nicki closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Safaree I just wanna go to sleep and I can’t do that with you messing around in my bags.” Safaree looked up and caught the attitude in her voice.

“This is about Drake isn’t it?”

“Safaree not now.”

“Yes Nicki now.” Safaree stood up. “You see how he's ruined stuff for us? Before the VMAs you were comfortable around me and now you ignore me every time you see me.”

“You did this to yourself Safaree.”

“But we don’t even talk anymore.”

“Like I said, you did this to yourself.”

“But I miss that, the jokes and the good memories we use to make.”

“Fine! You want to talk let’s talk. Sit down.” Safaree figured he wouldn’t try his luck by sitting on the bed so he pulled up a chair. He waited for her to start. “You broke my trust. How am I supposed to talk and joke around with a person that I don’t trust?”

“You can trust me Nicki.” She waited a while before speaking

“You know what I just realized?”

“What?”

“All this time I’ve been blaming you for everything that goes wrong with me and Drake, but none of this is your fault.” A smile spread across Safaree’s face.

“Well I’m glad you feel that way because-”

“It’s mine.” She cut him off. “It’s all my fault because I let you ruin things for us. I keep you around.” Safaree’s smiled dropped. “But from now on that’s going to change.”

“Nicki what are you-”

“Give me your key.”

“What?” He didn’t understand what was going on. He thought this conversation would be going in a completely different direction.”

“Give me your key to my house… both of them.”

“Nicki-”

“Give them to me Safaree… or were done.” Safaree couldn’t believe this was happening but he didn’t want to lose Nicki forever. He reached in his pocket and removed the key from his keychain, then pulled out his wallet and took the second one out too. He gave them both to her and immediately felt detached. “And as soon as we get home I want you to give me the last one in your condo. Got it?”

“Yeah… but I was just tryin to protect you Nic.”

“Protect me from what Safaree, the man I love? Don’t you want me to be happy?”

“Of course but I just don’t understand why you can’t be happy with me.”

“You gave that option up when you put your hands on me and you know that.” There was sadness in Safaree’s tone but sternness in Nicki’s.

“But it was one mistake.” He felt a tear slide down his cheek. Nicki was the only person that he would let see him at his weakest.

“One mistake that put me in the hospital with a concussion and bruises all over my back. It’s just not going to work. I can’t put myself back in that situation. You should be lucky I’m not scared to be alone with you in this room right now.” Safaree dropped his head in shame. Nicki stretched her hand out and placed it on top of his. “I forgive you but you need to realize that I have another man in my life now, and if you can’t accept that then we have to part ways.” Safaree cupped her small hand in both of his. “Can you deal with just being my hype man? Can you deal with just being my friend?”

“But what about our kiss? I could feel we had a moment.”

“It was a moment of the past Safaree.”

“But you still love me. I know you do.” Safaree rubbed small circles in the back of Nicki’s hand with his thumb and Nicki pulled away.

“Of course I love you Safaree. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for you but I’ve moved on and I want you to do the same. So stop budding into my relationship. Please Safaree, he makes me happy. Just let me be happy.” Nicki looked at his hurt expression and waited for a response. Safaree thought about it well before answering.

“Okay.” He answered lowly.

“Okay?” She didn’t expect him to agree that easily but she was happy that he would still be in her life.

“I’ll always be here for you. You know that right?”

“Yes Safaree thank you.” She held out her arms for a hug and Safaree stood up then bent down to hug her.

“But if Drake does anything to hurt you…” Safaree shook his head. “…I’ll kick his ass.” Nicki laughed to herself and pulled apart from him.

“Safaree I’m tired.”

“Okay, well I'll see you later. He walked towards the door and as he opened it he looked back. “And I'm sorry for everything. You can trust me Nicki.” And with that he let himself out. Nicki went to the bathroom to shower. When she came back she checked her phone to see if Drake had replied to any of her texts but he hadn’t. She climbed into the king-sized bed and texted Drake one last time before she went to bed.

-       I love you

She fell asleep waiting for Drake to reply.

*****

Drake lied in bed staring at his phone. He kept reading Nicki’s message over and over. He didn't know what to think. He had started to have doubts about whether this was the right direction to go in his life. He had loved Nicki since the first day he laid eyes on her at Young Money’s first meet and greet but even then Safaree was with her 24/7. That’s why it took him so long to get some courage and ask Nicki out.

Maybe he had waited too long to make his move. What he didn’t understand was what this message meant.  I love you. Wow. Did she really love him or was she just stringing him along. Why would she wait until the big blowup to finally tell him that she loved him? But deep down he knew Nicki and he knew that she would never toss around that word. Love. Drake got up and packed a bag but he didn’t bother to change. That was the furthest thing from his mind. He called Forty while making his way out the door.

“Yo what up Drizzy what you need?” Forty spoke with clear sleep in his voice. It was only 10:00 in the morning but he hadn’t gotten up yet.

 “Sorry for waking you up man but I’m leaving now so we’ll have to push back the meeting.”

“What? Leaving where?”

“I don’t know yet but I’ll let you know soon. I gotta go.” Drake punched in the code for his house alarm system. “I’ll talk to you later man.”

“Wait dude why are you leaving?”

“To get my woman back.” Drake hung up the phone, got in his car, and drove to the airport. He didn’t know where Nicki was but he was determined to find out and bring her home.
