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.
