Girl from the jungle Prt.2

  The dinner 

 I was searching through my closet for a nice dress to wear when I heard a knock on my door. I turned around to see my mother leaning in my doorway.

 "Onika, wear the white one" Carol said

 I picked up the white dress it was knee length, long sleeved, tight fit, and had an elegant twist in the mid section. "Ma its overdoing it for a dinner" I said, looking down

 "No its not, its perfect just don't spill curry on it, and don't worry about shoes you are in the house" Carol said,smiling and walking off.

I went into the shower to think, and get ready, my mind was already lost in my own thoughts of what could happen tonight.

 Drake's POV

 I jumped out the shower, and grabbed out a nice black button down t-shirt, my favorite true religion jeans, and my black timbs, mom said I had to dress nice, this was as nice as I was going to get.

 "Mom I'm going to go meet up with the boys before dinner" I said

 "Seriously Aubrey be back in 30 minutes I don't want to be late" Sandi said, taking the cake and brownies out the oven

 As Drake headed out he got in the Acura and drove down to the deep dark parts of the neighborhood, he felt around for the cash.

 He had all he needed, he stepped out went to knock on the door of an abandoned looking house, it was in shambles the steps barely able to hold his feet paint word away and the covered by wooden boards. 

 As the guy opened the door he was wearing a ski masked and asked "percs, zannies, or oxys ?"

 Already knowing Drakes wish, "Percs, and a bottle of henny, Raz told me he'd have it if I brought extra cash" Drake said, sliding him 200 dollars.

  As the guy took the cash the door slammed shut and reopened where the guy in the ski mask appeared again "Raz wants to see you" the guy said 

 I walked in cautiously, took a seat then walked in Raz , he was 6'5 and dark.

 "Drizzy man, I'm doing this for you one more time, but Ashley heard about you coming to me and she's saying she's going to talk , I can't have her interrupting business." Raz said stroking his beard

 "I'm sorry man look I'm just tryna take my mind off of Jay's death, Ashley and I aren't even speaking she must have people snooping" I said, rubbing my hands together 

 "I got you man, but you know Ashley just tryna keep an eye out for you " Raz said handing me the bottle and the pills

 "Thanks man" I said looking at him , and I started to walk out

 "Yo drizzy" Raz said I stopped and looked back

 "Yeah" I said

 "Man just try and do better for your brother man" Raz said

 "I will" I yelled back and headed back to the car, I took two pills and headed out. Then put the rest of the stuff in my bag, and drove off to go pick up my mom.

 Nicki's POV 

 "Onika go make sure Ciah is ready they are going to be here to 10 minutes" Carol yelled

 I finished braiding my hair and put on a nude lip gloss and walked over to Ciah's room to find him playing with his toys. "Ciah baby time for dinner" I said picking him up and putting on his outfit. 

He's only two and is my little baby, though my mom birthed him, I have been raising him. As Ciah walked out the room, Lani walked through the door with roses, and a teddy bear. 

"Lani" I squealed. "Hey there sis, here's this the flowers are for Ma" He said handing me the over sized pink teddy bear who had a red bow to match, then he kissed me on my forehead It had seemed like forever since I had seen my brother though it was only a couple weeks.

 He had left for some aviation program, and was supposed to be back yesterday but didn't show up until today. He picked up Ciah and handed him a stuffed toy car and kissed him too. 

 "Boy get over here and give your mother a kiss" Carol said, putting down the flowers and squeezing the life out of Lani in a hug.

 "Missed you too Ma" Lani said laughing After our little reunion, there was a knock at the door.

 My heart stopped "I'll get it" I said running to the door When I opened it, I saw Ms.Sandi standing there and Drake grabbing what looked like pans out of their car. "Hi Ms.Sandi" I said shakily

 "Hi beautiful" She responded hugging me and walking in 

 As Drake carefully walked up the steps he stopped staring at me, "Hhhi Nicki" He said looking down

 "Hi Drake do you need some help?" I asked snatching a pan

 He laughed and said "Yeah I guess you got it"

 When we walked in, I showed him where to put the pans, and we headed over to the table. Coincidentally the only seats left were the ones right next to each other, so we took the seats.

 "Oh Drake, this is my younger brother Ciah, and at the other end is my older brother Jelani" I said, pointing to the ends of the table

 "Hi" Drake said quietly as Lani starred him down

 The family said grace and we ate, Jelani pounded Drake with question after question wanting to know every detail. I looked at Jelani to stop and by the end of dinner, he stopped asking questions all together.

 As our mothers took up the plates I looked at Drake, who had seemingly taken an interest in Ciah and was playing with him.

 "Uhh, Hey Drake would you maybe want to come hang with me for a bit in my room ?" I asked only loud enough for us to hear

 He looked at me and smiled "Yeah, let me put Ciah down" he said

 I had noticed he had a bag with him all night so when he was walking with me I couldn't help but ask "Whats in the bag ?" , the feeling was eating at me there was something off about him today 

 Drakes POV

 "Just some stuff to help me feel better, and some of my raps and what not" I said

 "Oh ok" she replied, looking down 

 As we her room, I saw the innocence of a child, she had hot pink blankets, stuffed animals, and a vanity. But then you looked closer and saw the posters of encouraging words. She seemed so perfect I just couldn't see how she was broken. But you could feel the vibe in her room had lost it's light.

 I stood there watching her sit on her bed and then stare at me.

 "You can sit down" She said, patting the spot next to her

 I walked over casually put my bag down and looked up at her, she was shaking nervously, I grabbed her hand she squeezed tightly. 

"You look stunning, I forgot to tell you when I came in" I said, blushing

 "Really ? I thought I may be over did it a bit, but you look handsome as well" She said looking up at me

 "No you look.. perfect, and thank you" I said

 "Thanks, can I ask you something ?" She said, rubbing my hand 

 "Yeah , what's up ?" I replied scooting closer to her 

 "Are you ok ?" She asked I hadn't been asked that question in a while, she was trying to care, but I wasn't truly here.

 "No" came spilling out my mouth before I could say anything else 

 "What's wrong, do you wanna talk about it ?" She asked

 "I uhh well, It's getting close to the anniversary of my brother's death, and I have stumbled deeper into my numbness" I said rubbing the back of my neck with my free hand 

 "Oh, I'm really sorry to hear about your brother. I'm here if you ever need to talk, I may not be the best, but I know what it's like to feel like the world is crashing down on you" She said

 "Really?, thanks Nicki" I replied she was breaking into me

 "Yeah , I didn't have such a great childhood I lost a lot of friends along the way of growing up" She said 

 "Ohh I see, my mom told me you guys came from the jungle, my brother used to hang there" I replied

 "Yeah its not a great place, I'm not surprised a lot of people hang there.. It was bad, but some of the people there a good" She said

 "Yeah my brother used to say something like that to my mom all of the time" I said chuckling

 She smiled "Do you wanna lay down ?" She asked

 I was caught like a deer in headlights "Sure" I replied

 We laid down looking at each other, I could feel the buzz of the pill start to fade, I hated this feeling, I reached in my pocket and pulled out two more, she looked at me. "I uhh take them to help me feel better " I said nervously

 "Feel better how?" She asked curiously

 "Calm my nerves, make me not feel so much pain" I responded looking down

 "Can I try one ?" She asked pleadingly, giving me puppy eyes boy was I a sucker for those

 "Sure, just umm try not to act too strange it takes effect within 10 minutes for me" I said handing her one of the pills

 We looked at each other and took them together. As we laid there looking at each other I could slowly see her eyes to dilate and her face grew a smile.

 "I I think I feel it " She said to me.

 "Yeah its hitting me too" I replied 

 She then began to ask me questions just trying to get to know me, I answered them and asked her the same things. She seemed like your typical girl for the most part besides the fact she was a nervous wreck. I had been wanting to kiss her, I watched her lips move, her eyes light up whenever she talked about her family or friends. 

 "What's something you've done, but regret ?" I asked her

 "I well I used to be in a relationship and I ended up cutting myself to ease the pain when we started going down hill, it helped lessen my anxiety and stuff eventually I stopped." She said looking down 

 "Oh well that's understandable it helped can I see the scars ?" I asked, curiosity struck, I had always wondered what it was like to cut yourself.

  She looked at me crazy, and sat up straight pulling up her dress. "Most of them are on my inner thighs , I'm not trying to flash you" she said laughing.

  I saw each mark, some fading, others looked a few weeks old, I ran my hand over them sending goosebumps between the two of us. I reached closer and kissed a couple then looked back up at her.

 "Just a kiss so they will heal faster " I said, smiling Her skin was so smooth, her scent was intoxicating. She had me in a daze.  

    Nicki's POV

 As his head was coming up Lani walked in "I hope I wasn't intruding on anything but its time for dessert" he said and then rolled his eyes while walking off.

 I giggled "Well thank you" I said to Drake blushing awfully hard, my panties were soaked his kisses turned me on, I knew he was just trying to be sweet, it was innocent.

 "Your welcome, well before we go out there, can I get your number ?" He asked

 "Yeah no problem" I said, taking his and entering my number

 As we got off the bed, I was about to walk out until he pulled down my dress and grabbed my hand. I wasn't sure if it was the pill, him, or both, but I felt like I was on an all time happiness high. He had me feeling like I was walking on air. 

 Our mothers stared at us, both smiling. We both walked over to get dessert he chose cake and I chose the brownie. Then we went and sat down at the table and ate a bite. 

 "So where did you two sneak off too ?" Sandi asked, smiling widely 

 "we we-" I had started to answer, but Jelani jumped at the chance

 "They were in her room alone, up to no good" Jelani said angered by what he saw earlier 

 "Jelani, stop" I said 

 "Stop what the boy is just never mind, I'm not going there" Jelani said slamming down his fork and getting up from the table 

 "What happened in the room ?" Carol asked I was already shaking, now tears formed. It was just another ball of stress that Jelani was forming. 

 "We were just getting to know each other, and Jelani walked in when I was pushing myself up from the bed so the position looked awkward."Drake said 

 "Oh it's ok sweetheart , Jelani is just a bit over when it comes to his sister" Carol said winking

 Drake leaned to me and said "All better Nicki" I looked up at him smiled and nodded. 

 "Well Carol and I are going out to a bar nearby, Aubrey since Jelani isn't taking to you to well you could sleep on the couch. "Nika if Ciah wakes up you know what to do" Carol said

 "Ok " Drake and I said in unison

 As our mothers left, we just went into the living room to watch tv. Ciah was yawning in Drake's arms, and rubbing his eyes. "Baby you ready for a bath and bed ?" I asked Ciah

 "You wanna take a bath with me?" Drake said, chuckling and wiggling his eyebrows

 "No silly Ciah, needs a bath" I said giggling

 "Buwwbles !"Ciah said clapping his hands together

 "Yes baby bubbles" I responded as I picked him up. 

 While I was bathing him I could feel a presence "what Jelani ?" I asked, knowing it could only be him bugging me

 "I just wanna say sorry Nika, I just get worried, you know you were cutting yourself with your last ex and this boy, he isn't normal he has problems just like you .. I don't want this to turn into some sick, twisted love shit." Jelani said

 "I forgive you, we are just friends Lani chill. I haven't been as bad when I'm around him, he makes me feel so calm, and comforted" I said 

 "Well he does seem kinda nice, was he kissing your scars earlier ? or trying to get in your pants?" Lani asked in a serious tone

 "He was kissing my scars he felt bad and saw some of the newer ones" I said, taking Ciah out of the bath and drying him off 

 "Nicki just don't move too fast with him, I'm heading out I have some business to handle, love you Goodnight" Jelani said

 "Love you too , goodnight" I said putting Ciah in his jammies and brushing his teeth

 Drakes POV

 I walked in as she was putting Ciah into bed, I had missed these times I had with my nephew Junior. Ashley was Jermaine's ex and baby mama. I had stopped talking to her when she started dating a big time drug dealer right after my brother's passing. I just didn't understand how you could move on so quickly and to such a fuck up of a man.

 "Dwake night"Ciah said reaching out his arms for a hug I walked over and gave him a hug and a kiss on the head. 

"Goodnight little man" I said then

Nicki looked over at me as she got up and walked over to me, "Come on lets go hang in my room" 

 We headed into her room where she ran off into her closet and came back out in an over sized t-shirt and some booty shorts , she had grabbed me a pair of basketball shorts and exited the room. I quickly undressed and opened up the door. 

 "So I kinda already got over the awkward get to know you hump what do you wanna talk about now?" I asked her

 "I don't know, let's just go cuddle for a bit." she said

 "Alright" I said getting into her bed where she laid her head on my chest.

 "Can you tell me about your brother ?" She asked

 "What do you wanna know ?" I asked, feeling the sadness spread across my body, I couldn't take any more pills or smoke cause I was with her. 

 "Do you have a picture ?" She asked

 I grabbed my out my bag and showed her the screen saver of Jermaine and Junior.

 She smiled "You look like him, in a way , who is the boy ?" She asked The pain was scratching at my heart "

That's my nephew, I haven't seen him in two years, Jermaine has a different father." I said to feel the tears falls 

 "I'm sorry" she said running her hand up and down my chest I sniffled a bit trying to stop the tears.

 "You want to know anything else ?" I asked

 "No he seems like he was a great guy" She said looking down

 "You know after this I won't get to see you until our sessions together" I said looking down I swear my life just seemed to go tumbling

 "Yeah, this sucks" She said

 "Your a really great girl Nicki but I just ask that you don't attach yourself to me, I'm still sick I have a lot of problems" I said looking away from her

 "I'm just going to leave that as the depression talking, I like you, now you're stuck with me" she said looking up and biting her lip

 "Oh really, a new friend I can try" I said looking back at her

 "Well friend in your eyes we will be more before you know it, I'm your girl from the jungle I can rescue you" She said 

 Rescue me ? I just couldn't fathom anyone trying to save me. This situation was weird, everything felt so right, but could I trust it. 

"Oh I'm sure you will be my little savior, I just hope I can do the same." I responded

 Nicki's POV

 I saw the pain in his eyes. The thing about anxiety is that it eats at you makes you question every move before you make it, you feel stupid or crazy maybe even both. You're just deemed as broken and weird, but you're still a person underneath it all. I didn't know how he helped me cope, maybe it was the fact I could attach myself to someone again. He brought me so many emotions I barely knew him. I was too worried about losing him to even know if I could yet alone trust him in these sessions that were about. 

 "Well, I ought to head off to bed and you should too, unless you want Jelani up in here" I said laughing 

 "5 more minutes, please" He begged

 "Fine 5 more minutes" I said

 He sat there looking at me, he just wanted five more minutes to share and soak in our everlasting moment. I started to feel sleep come to my eyes next thing I knew I was out.

Drake's POV

I slid her off of my chest and quietly left the room, I went out to the living room where a blanket and pillow were set up. I looked at my bag in my hand and sat down on the couch. I pulled out the bottle and chugged it. As the tears began to fall I put the half empty bottle back in my bag. I ran my hand over my face many times. 

"Why , god, Why ?" I asked face red and full of tears. 

I heard footsteps and looked to my left where I saw Nicki holding Ciah in tears herself. 

"Come lay with me Drake" She said wiping the tears from her face , and rocking Ciah

I stumbled over to her, we headed off to her bed. She got in and Ciah clutched to her chest. I looked at her rubbing his back. I closed my eyes, then I felt her touch she stroked my cheek. 

"I'm sorry" I kept saying until I felt nothing and drifted off to sleep.

Well this  one is only supposed to be a 4 part oneshot, it might end up being longer. It's something totally different then what I had initially planned for, it will begin to correlate with the song Jungle later. I love the story though, and the song (Which was the idea for my first tattoo that I now have). I also wanted to add that though I correlate using drugs (pills and alcohol ) as useful outlets to get rid of pain and self harm, I don't suggest any of my readers engage in them, depression and anxiety are serious everyday illnesses which effect many people. Drugs and self harm only mask the pain, they don't get rid of it. If you suffer from these and are in need of someone to talk to I'm here, I suffer through anxiety which most often leads to depression. 

Anyways back to a good note, I'm looking for suggestions for a couple new one shot ideas, I have one about Nicki being a naughty maid lol. But hope you enjoyed reading ! Also comment please !!

Love, Drickiofmay

Kismet Prt.2

A couple days later (Nicki's POV)

I woke up, to my puppy licking me on my face not the best good morning, but hey he was too cute to be mad at. I needed to make a couple sales today also I had finished painting, on top of that I needed to name my little guy and go take time to the vet.

"Hmm little guy how do you like the name King?" I said in a baby voice

He wiggled his whole butt barking at me, I guess he liked the name as much as I did, I put on some shoes to go take him out to potty, as he did his business, I thought about my painting of the dream man, should I sell it ? What if he's real and comes forward to claim it.

"King" I yelled as he began to ponder off, he came running back to me

I picked him up and headed back out to shower.

Aubrey's POV

I walked into the shop watching as some 5'10 man seemed to hand ma some extra money, and ask if we could add more roses this time. I looked over at ma who seemed to just be nodding along with this man barking orders. After he gave her another wad of cash he walked out the store.

"Looks like that was the guy who cheated on the girl who your crushing on Brey" Sandi said, laughing her butt off

He was definitely not as handsome as Drake himself, and Sandi saw that too so she couldn't help but let out her laugh.

"Well good morning ma " Drake said, chuckling

"Morning son" Sandi said, reaching up to kiss his cheek

"I need you to make these deliveries, and don't deliver you're crushes until the end of the way, I wanna do something special with the bouquet" Sandi said walking to the back of the store.

I grabbed the flowers and headed out to go deliver these orders.

Nicki's POV

Later that day

"Alright King looks like mommy has a showing today, but din't worry, you are coming its walking distance, mommy is going to post the picture she just painted of you too!" Nicki said talking to her puppy who seemed to be amused by her painting, as her brush seemed to move faster King started to tilt his head confused by it all.

"Ta-da, Look baby its you !" Nicki said, showing him, he and all of his rolls bounced around in excitement as he started to bark.

"I can't believe mommy drew three pictures of you so fast, but I think i'm going to keep this one just for us" Nicki said the picture portrayed her looking down smiling as King licked her nose.. The painting so realistic.. you could see yourself in the moment with Nicki and King.

She got up and then went to her closet to go find the proper dress for the event, a navy blue Tommy Hilfiger dress, it had a knot in the midsection, just showing off enough skin, as she put on her make up she decided on a maroon lip and a winged eyeliner. Classy yet sexy, this who little showing was about the showing of her wildest dreams and twisted realities. Her paintings would vary from flowers to the rainy night out here in new York.

As she went stumbling after king to put on his little tux, there was a knock at the door, Once again it was a huge, beautiful vase of flowers, she rolled her eyes and took the vase again but something almost made her drop them.

As she heard the deep baritone voice "Hey there little guy what's your name?" Drake said as King attacked him with kisses

She didn't want to look, could this really be him the man of her dreams, as she put the vase down, her legs getting weak her eyes slowly moved up his body, to his face she saw them hazels orbs, freckles, and pink plump lips smiling back at her.

"Seems little guy here tried to escape, but I scooped him right up Drake said, looking at Nicki

"T-t-thank you, Do you wanna come inside to put him down" Nicki said trembling

"Uhh yeah sure" Drake said, walking in as Nicki shut the door behind him

Aubrey's POV

I was staring at her, she seemed to be stunned I knew I couldn't have been that good looking. I watch as she stood there reading the note on the flowers giggling to herself. This was weird, I was rarely ever invited inside someones house, as I put the puppy down, she looked up at me one more time.

"You ok Ms.Maraj ?" I asked, remembering the last name on the order

"Yyes, your mother is very funny, she told me to give you a try as she scratched over Stephen's message." Nicki said laughing

"Oh I'm so sorry my mother likes to play matchmaker whenever I tell a client is cute you know" I said, looking down to see the puppy staring at me

"Oh gosh this must be awkward for you, I'm Nicki, well now I kinda have to show you something and I hope you won't be freaked out" Nick said

"Umm ok" I said, I walked behind her staring at her round plump ass in the light pink robe as she walked me in what looked like the an art studio, she must have been a painter the fumes hit my nose as soon as I turned right I saw the paintings of the other bouquet, the puppy, the city, and and me ?

My eyes got wide, She hadn't even seen me before, how could she have paintings of me ?

"Ok, so it doesn't look as bad as it sounds!" She said looking down and picking up her puppy to put on his suit

"I'm listening" I said to her while arching my eyebrow

"So lately let's just say I have been having dreams and well those dreams included a guy and I'm guessing the guy I have been seeing is you" she said, blushing

"I guess you could call it fate, you paint beautifully by the way" I said to her moving closer to get a better look at the paintings then my eyes landed on one, that hit home, it was her running in the garden behind the flower shop and my hand reaching out to her.

I pointed to it "This one from a dream ?" I asked, feeling goosebumps

"Umm yeah" She replied

"I've had the same dream, its my mother's garden behind the flower shop." I said running a hand over my face.

"Fate huh ?" she replied nervously giggling

"Yeah I guess so, well um maybe I can leave you with my number and we can hang out sometime?" I asked maybe a date would push away the awkwardness between us

"Actually I have show casing a Lil later tonight an well since you're painted on it maybe you'd want to come and be my date I guess ?" Nicki asked

"Yeah sure what time do you want me there ?" I asked, a smile growing on my face

"Umm would you mind helping me move some paintings so stop by here in like another hour or two ?" Nicki asked, biting her lip

"No problem I guess I will see you then Nicki, Oh by the way my name is Aubrey but most people call me Drake" I said to her

"Cute name, Bye Aubrey" She said

Two hours later

Nicki's POV

I gathered together all of the paintings, and finally slipped on my dress, and a pair of white heels, I added a thick gold necklace. Then I heard a knock at the door. King went running and barking. I answered the door and there he was in a tux, he looked so so ? Handsome, I had wanted to touch since the minute I touched him to seen him the man of my dreams a local flower boy, seemed silly but hey he was cute.

"You look amazing" He said as I watched his eyes travel down my body.

"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself" I said, blushing

"Thanks, so umm I brought the van just in case you needed it, where are the pictures at ?" He said

"Oh thanks I totally forgot about how many paintings I had, they are back in the studio, where is the van out front ?" I asked

"Yeah but don't worry about it, I got the pictures, you can just go get settled in the van" He said to me

"You sure ?" I asked nervously, my paintings were my babies

"Yes, Trust me I will be careful" He said reassuring me

"Ok" I picked up King and headed out to the van

It was a really nice van, a Benz, black with the florist logo across the sides. Very clean and cute. I heard him carry the pictures down one by one. I got out when I saw him heading towards me, I handed him the key to lock up the house, as his hand touched mine, it lit my body on fire, my heart stopped. I think he felt the same because he just smiled at me.

When he got in the car, I heard his voice through the speakers and smiled. "You sing ?" I asked

"Yeah and rap" He said

"Your voice and the sound is amazing, I'm surprised you aren't signed yet, you know I have a few friends who have some connections" I said softly watching his face light up

"Really ? That would be awesome, I've been lurking around for a producer and haven't had any luck " He said turning into the parking lot for the showing.

"Yeah, I think I have a friend who does some producing actually he's kinda big I will give him a call for you" I said, looking at him

"Thanks" he said simply as he stared at me in the parking lot

"What ?" I asked nervously

"Nothing, well you're just so beautiful and this day has been crazy, after you slammed the door in my face the first time I never thought you would even give me a second thought" He said

As the moments of me slamming the door in his face flashed before my eyes I let out a loud laugh "Oh gosh I'm so sorry, well thank you" I said looking at him my lips were itching to be touched

King started getting antsy "Do you have to go potty King ?" I asked him in a baby voice

He barked in agreeing with it, I opened up the door and put him down to use the bathroom , as he dragged me off to the nearest bushes.. I couldn't help but think how badly I had wanted to kiss Aubrey.

When we got into the building Aubrey had unloaded all of the paintings, the space was about to be filled with my paintings I was hoping they would sell well, I wasn't auctioning any of the paintings of Aubrey or King for the public to have because they were too personal. As I ran around placing all of the photos in the right spot Aubrey watched and held on to King who seemed to be napping.

As each one was in the right place people were walking in amazed by my work. I quickly went over to Aubrey and grabbed his arm.

"Come on silly, you guys are part of the art I need you to stand next to me and look pretty" I said, laughing

He just simply smiled, put king on the ground and wrapped and arm around my waist, I was already nervous and him doing that put me weak at my knee's. As people walked up to me complimenting me on my pieces they all told me how much of a beautiful couple we were, which only made Aubrey smile wider and hold on to me tighter.

As the night winded down, the only pictures left not sold were the ones, I had kept for a personal reason, this night couldn't have gotten better. I helped Aubrey pack up some of the pictures much to his dismay. And then sat in the car waiting on him to finish walking King which he insisted on.

Aubrey's POV

"Nicki can grab some food and we head back to your place to eat it ?" I asked her

"Sure" she replied

As I drove I slide my hand down over to her side, and grasped her hand just wanting to feel the fire we had felt earlier and I did. It was amazing to have this sort of connection with someone you barely knew. I could feel her stare as I drove to the little Chinese shop.

"I will be right back , any request ?" I asked

"Whatever you think is good Brey" She said with a smile as I went in and came back out with the food, but I made a quick pit stop to my mothers to drop off some food. She looked up at me. "I got some food for my mom, I will be right back" I said

I knew meeting my mom would be a little too soon , so she just nodded her head. I walked into the house to "Ma, I brought you some food and I'm grabbing my bag" I yelled not seeing her in the kitchen

"Alright Brey, have fun and remember, keep it wrapped up" Sandi yelled back in a fit of giggles

"Come on ma, well goodnight love you" I said smiling

"Love you too brey, goodnight"

I got back into the car to find both King and Nicki passed out, as I pulled up to the apartment I pulled out the house key and quietly unloaded the paintings then I grabbed king and put him inside the house where he seemingly barked until I put him on the bed and he passed out. Then my last mission was to gently scooped her up, everything went well until she woke up as I went to lay her in the bed.

"Oh I'm so sorry for falling asleep, I still want to eat tell me you're not leaving are you? " she asked, slipping off her shoes

"No, i will stay if you want, but, do you mind if I take a shower, I need to get cleaned up I brought a change of clothes." I asked

"No go right ahead, thank you so much Aubrey" She said getting up from the bed.

As I went and grabbed the food and my bag I came back into her apartment where she was pouring a glass of wine. I slipped by and put the food down and went into the guest room where she had left out a towel and a wash rag for me. She's so sweet I thought to myself . After a nice shower, I saw her sitting on the couch with the plates set up of food.

"On you didn't have to wait Nicki" I said fixing my sweats

"No, I just wanted to be able to eat with you" She said smiling

As I sat next to her on the couch we did the normal questions , like favorite color her's was pink, and I said brown. Then how old we were she was 25 and I was 21. She looked at me and smiled when I told her my age "I know I look older, but trust me, I act the way you'd think I was 30" I said getting nervous.

"Its ok that you're younger I don't care Aubrey" She said smiling

"Ok" I said looking down at my plate

As we went over other questions like birthdays I was surprised to find out she was a winter baby. December 8th to be exact. We smiled, laughed and joked around before we knew it was two in the morning and we both were getting pretty tired. I watched her lips as she spoke about her paintings and how she came to buy King. I just wanted to kiss her so badly.

Nicki's POV

As I scooted closer to him, he looked me in the eyes and asked "I don't know if it's too early but can I kiss you, its been bothering me all night?"

I grabbed the back of his head and gently pushed his lips against mine, the feeling was unexplainable like fireworks on the fourth of July or finding that one thing you had been searching so long for. He brought a rush of feelings to me. I started to open my mouth , and then like a rush he took over reaching a hand around my head pulling me in deeper. As they both let go they looked at each other and smiled.

"You can spend the night in the guest room and I will make breakfast" I said swiftly

"i'd love to" He replied, taking my hand in his and fiddling with it

He made me feel like a teenager again, I was fighting not to kiss him again, but I did it anyways, I gave him a nice long kiss and then got up, watching him open his eyes slowly hoping I would still me kissing him. I laughed and said "Goodnight Aubrey"

He got up and put our plates in the sink and said "Goodnight Nicki sweet dreams" then he winked

I blushed uncontrollably and went to go lay down in the bed where I just thought about him, the little moments we shared. Eventually sleep hit my eyes and I drifted off to sleep.

A week later

Nicki's POV

In the hair shop, "What are we doing now Nicki you know we can't keep bleaching it.. maybe we should go back brown, or pink ?" Oscar said

"Black brownish you know what I mean" Nicki said softly

"Nicki your not going off on one of those little find yourself trips now are you ?" Oscar said, rolling his eyes

"What ? Why would you ask that ?" I said, looking up at him with an attitude

"You do this same bring me back to my original color shit every time you try and find yourself, then you come back wanting it blonde or pink or just some total opposite color again if I do this you ain't changing hair colors for the next year .. ya hear me" Oscar said, giggling

"Yeah well I'm not leaving im just, you know tryna calm down a bit.. I've been on the fast track lately and something has made me stop" I said

"Alright babe that's good I miss the old you" Oscar said kissing her cheek and getting to work.

Lately Nicki has been thinking about the convo her and Drake had it just kept replaying in her head like a broken record she was going crazy. Drinking and smoking weren't helping, so she had just decided to try and focus on music .. nothing. A whole week had gone by and he hadn't left her mind once.

Drake's POV

"Abel hit a Lil higher on that note man" Drizzy instructed

As Abel hit higher, Drake smiled and thought this is going to be a hit man. Abel walked out the studio to listen, he looked so happy, giving his close friends a chance at the music was what he wanted.

"Drake man I couldn't thank you enough, you got me on some sick beats, talking about beating when you coming out with another song you know that fans must be itching" Abel said

"Welcome man, well I don't know but I do got some shit on my mind, I could maybe write a song or two" Drake said

As the studio winded down. he looked at his phone just waiting for a text from her, just her. Nothing a week and no word. He knew where she stayed he had connects but he was waiting on her.

"Just how long you gonna wait Drizzy?" 40 said scaring Drake

"Man I told you to knock before you enter, how you know what I was thinking" Drake asked

"All these years bruh I know you better than anything you been in love with that girl since you first laid eyes on her, 5 years apart don't change love man" 40 said, handing Drake a piece of paper

He read it, it was a note she left him a couple years back, he had never seen it

"Aubrey I know you may not me thinking about me, but I miss you.. A lot actually, I feel like I'm losing myself , and you need to come save me my prince, I flew out to see you, but you weren't in town so I guess I just decided to leave you this, Love Onika Maraj"

He looked up at 40 angered"What the hell man ? Why didn't you give me this before ?"

"Look Driz you were just getting good in the label and Wayne said not to let anything get in your way .. so I kept some shit for you to better yourself , you said you didn't want her back until you were the better man" 40 said nervously

"Nah you did this shit for you man, the music could have waited, my girl was giving me a cry for help and I wasn't there , seriously leave 40 fuck you man" Drake said

40 left without a word, he didn't even apologize, so many mistakes made, things could have been good.

Nicki's POV

"Alright babe all done, its a bit of a wet look, your hair needs a bit of time to heal so be gentle with it babe" Oscar said

"It looks perfect, thanks Oscar" Nicki said, getting up and leaving a wad of cash in his hands

"Nicki what did I tell you about this shit" Oscar said running after her

"Keep it babe I got to go" Nicki said

She got in her benz and headed out to go meet up with Wayne. He had signed her but he said he needed her to fix herself , up these up and down looks were drawing in attention but not keeping the fans. So she decided to go back to her and take a break from the music for a bit. Now she had to break the news to Wayne, which would not be easy.

When she got to the studio there he was smoking and laughing "Hey ma, finally picked a normal hair color I see" Wayne said teasing her

"Ha ha very funny Wayne, but umm I'm here to let you know I got some personal shit going on and I need a break from the music" Nicki said

"I'm glad you brought that up because, I think its best we part ways" Wayne said in all seriousness

"What ? Wayne please don't do this to me, I know I haven't been serious lately, but come one, please" Nicki said on the verge of tears

"Listen ma you gave me a great first mixtape, but this album you threw me ain't fly, you need to step it up. You need time to grow and I need music coming in, we can't do that when your working on yourself. Trust me I have some people willing to work with you who are just as good as me and will give you the time you need, I just can't wait anymore" Wayne said

Nicki toughed it out and took a deep breath she did need time to fix herself before she could go on this fast paste music run " Alright, well I guess this is goodbye Wayne, ohh maybe you could email me some of the other labels names so I can get a hold of them" Nicki said

"Bye ma, will do, we will come together again girl I promise just get yourself together" Wayne said hugging her goodbye

Nicki headed home in tears, she had seemingly been loosing everything and everyone around her, just when she needed a shoulder to cry on all of her new friends had been to busy to listen, and all of her real friends didn't want anything to do with her. She needed to go into hiding.

Drake's POV

As a month rolled by Drake had finally forgiven 40 and began to work on some music, he wasn't feeling any of the beats in the studio so he decided to go out for a night of fun. He headed out to Candy's a strip club new to the area. As he sat back and watched many of the girls none seemed to appease him in the way he wanted so he just sat back throwing bills around for the girls to grab.

"Man why you even here" Chubbs asked

"Watchu mean nigga, I'm here to see the women and have a good time" I said back

"Nah man you over here looking like a sad puppy and shit, here have another shot" Chubbs said, handing me the drink, I gulped it down and all through the night the boys were handing me drinks by the time we left the club I could barely walk. We got in the car, my head was spinning, but I only had one thing on my mind Onika.. she hadn't left my head.. not a day went by where I didn't think about her.

"Tttake me to Onika's place" I said, slurring my words

All of the boys turned to look at me, and rolled their eyes "Nah, you just drunk lets head home" Chubbs said as the driver started the engine.

"No, Onika's house now" Drake yelled

40, went up to the driver and gave him the address "You wanna go embarrass yourself Aubrey go right on ahead, we are not stopping you" 40 said

Drake sat there smiling, he just wanted to see her face again..

"Man you fucked up letting him do this" Ryan said, sipping on his drink

"Yeah you are 40" Chubbs, Niko, and hush said in unison

"Well he needs to learn, if he wants to act a fool let him, he's been struggling to do anything all over this chick.. So lets see what happens" 40 said, getting irritated

"He's only like this cause he loves the girl 40, you would do anything if you loved a girl the way he does Onika" Ryan said looking down pondering his thoughts about Chanel an old love of his

"Yeah well it's whatever" 40 said ending the conversation

As they pulled up to Onika's apartment, Drake was getting more excited by the minute. 40 got out the car, walked him up to her door "She slam the door in your face man , come down stairs we will be waiting, she let you in let me know" 40 said then he just left Drake there at the door.

I found my courage and knocked on her door, I was wasted, but coherent enough to know what I want.

Nicki's POV

I heard a knock at my door, it had been a month since the last time I'd even spoken to anyone, I was surprised.

I opened the door to see Drake staring me in the face, his state slouched, oh gosh he must have been drunk. I rolled my eyes " What are you doing here Aubrey ?" I asked him "Matter of fact how did you even get my address?" I asked

"Let me in, Onika" He slurred trying to stand up straight

His voice pierced my ears, haven't heard my own name in a month, I looked around to see if any of his friends were around, I didn't see anyone. I thought what else could get worse? So I opened the door wide enough to let him in.

He walked in and looked me up and down "Damn Nika you still sleep in them tight ass shirts, with panties.. you ain't changed" he said licking his lips

I tried hard not to blush, but the pink overcame my cheeks before I could stop it."Boy stop ya staring, anyways answer my questions why are you here, and how did you get my address?" I asked taking a seat on my couch.

He sat right across from me seemingly trying to analyze me with his drunk self "Well I had some drinks and I built of the liquid courage to come see your beautiful ass, your hair you dyed it back to his original color , I missed seeing you so innocent, I don't know how I got your address 40 had, gosh baby girl you are just beautiful" Drake said staring at me.. his eyes stared into me and I could feel the pain hurt sorrow.

I looked down , he was still the same little boy I fell for those many years ago, I was trying to let myself grow and move on but here he came pushing me back, making me feel young, weak, vulnerable again. "That's nice Aubrey, but you do realize it's 3 in the morning and some of us have jobs, is there anyone you can call to pick you up?" I asked

"Nika please baby, don't make me leave, skip work tomorrow, spend the day with me let me make things up to you" Drake said he couldn't hold it back any longer tears began to fall. The drinks had left him more emotional than normal, he was breaking down faster than he realized.  So close, but yet so far away. He moved closer to her and grabbed her hand holding on to it tight

"Aubrey please don't do this to me, I need to move on you know that. You don't love me like you say you do, don't do this, please Aubrey" Nicki pleaded, He looked at her and kiss her hand, then moved the kisses up to her slowly kissing his way up to her neck, he scooped her up in his arms and rested his face in her neck "Onika, I still love you like I did back then, just let me spend the night with you, let me hold you just one last time baby" Drake said as tears rolled down his cheeks on to her neck.

I looked away, he always does the to me. "You really love me Aubrey ?" I had to ask

He turned my face towards him " I love you more baby girl to the great infinities of which no one could ever reach" he said same words he told me when he first said he loved me, I pushed him off of me, my feelings are conflicted I want to feel him closer than ever but again he left me high and dry how can I forget that. I ran my hand through my hair, walked into my kitchen , he walked over to me. Came up behind wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear "Just let me hold you tonight, I will leave tomorrow, I promise, I'm so sorry"

I looked back at him "You can stay tonight, leave tomorrow Aubrey"

He kissed my cheek, I blushed at least I'd have someone to hold on to for the night. I walked us back to my bedroom, I crawled into my bed and watched as he took off his shirt, pants, and shoes. I couldn't help but lick my lips, seeing him in those briefs.

"I see you staring, you know you can still get it whenever you want baby girl just give me the call" He said climbing into bed wrapping me in is arms.

"Really a call ? you never changed I guess I was wrong about you, but really, do we have to cuddle" I said, pushing myself up against him just wanting to tease a bit

"Yea baby girl, did you never check your bag, I slipped my number in there before you left my house that one time. Don't try to play games Onika." He said

I froze, all this time I had access to him, all I had to do was open my eyes, I had passed the piece of paper in my bag so many times. He reached up and kissed my neck again " Aubreyy, I need to sleep, I got work, no I never checked the piece of paper"

He laughed and kissed my cheek, I could feel the smile radiating off of him " Goodnight Onika"

I turned to face him and cuddled up to his chest where I said "Good night Aubrey"

Drake's POV

I woke up seeing her beautiful face smiling in my arms, I had truly missed this, I didn't want to leave but I had promised her I would be gone the next morning. I slid her off of my chest, watching her squirm around trying to find a comfortable spot again.

I went to use her bathroom, where I found a picture of her and I, there she was reaching up to kiss me as I bent down to give her one. I washed my hand and splashed a little water over my face, this pounding headache was worth it all being able to see her again. God I swear I love this girl.

I watched her pop up as I was pulling up my pants, her eyes squinted, she stared at me, got up and walked over to me. I was a little scared now that I was sober. She came closer and just stood there staring as I then put my shirt above my head. After that, she hugged me, surprised I jumped a bit, and then I hugged her back she started to doze off in my arms. I laughed, picked her up and placed her back in bed. Kissed her forehead and headed out the door, but not before leaving a note.

"Thank you baby girl , having you in my arms again was the best feeling"

I called 40 to come pick me up and then I left her apartment, fighting back tears I wondered if this was really the end of us or the new beginning she was so complex I couldn't tell.

Later in the studio

"Yo man that's going to be a hit !" 40 said, clapping his hands together

"Thanks man, really thanks for letting me go to see her last night" I said dapping him up

"What are you going to name the song?" 40 said totally ignoring the statement drake said to him

I looked at him confused and said "Hotline bling"
