*Remember this has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL BOUND TO YOU STORY. Just something I got talked into writing! *side eyes the two* This was supposed to go up on Valentines day but it didn't happen. Onikafaree bitches!*
Nicki was downstairs on the phone with Martin and Lauren making the final arrangements for her perfect Valentines day with Safaree. Safaree had been so busy with the kids and their activities while she finished up her fourth album that she knew he didn't have time to plan anything for her. She loved her husband so much for all that he did so she wanted to make him feel special today.
"Martin are the red roses on their way here?" Nicki asked biting the corner of her bottom lip.
"Yes they are on their way Nicki they should be arriving at any moment. The edible arrangements arrived already right?"
"Yes it's here in the fridge."
"Lauren you called and made the order at Kenny's right?"
"Yes the food should arrive around seven if not eight. The chef said they are expecting a big rush tonight and not to be mad at him." Nicki smiled.
"I could never be mad at him. I love that little old man" she smiled.
"Well Nicki everything else you handled so everything is in place for your day with hubby." Lauren said closing her notepad.
"Okay well I will talk to you guys tomorrow. Remember if its not life altering or about the kids don't call this house."
"Nobody is going to interrupt your freak session." Lauren said rolling her eyes as if Nicki could see her.
"That's my cue, talk to you later boss." Martin hung up the phone before she could give a response.
"You would think after all these years he would get comfortable with our conversations." Nicki said giggling. "Well boo don't let the kids run over you, if they give you problems you know what to do."
"Yes ma'am. Bye hun."
"Bye."
Nicki hung up the phone and looked over at the clock, it read seven-forty-five. She hopped up and went into Safaree's study to finish setting up everything, all that was needed was the flowers she had ordered him. She heard a van door shut and raced to the front door as quickly as possible before the delivery guy had a chance to ring the doorbell and possibly wake Safaree. She peeped through the side window and made sure it was the flowers then opened the door startling the Latin man.
"Hello." he greeted her.
"Good morning." Nicki smiled at the old man.
"I need your signature right here." he handed her the clip board. Nicki briefly went over what it said, her mama taught her never to sign anything without first reading it. She glanced up then smirked at the man, he was checking out her body. She couldn't blame him tho, she was only in her robe which stopped high up her thigh and she was wearing pumps.
"Here you go sir." she said bring the man out of his thoughts. She let the other two men that were with him walk passed her into the house. "Turn left and it is the first room on the right."
"Your husband is one lucky man." Nicki turned back and looked at him.
"Yes, he is." the two men exited her home. "Have a great day."
"You do the same." she closed the door as he turned to leave.
She walked in and arranged the flowers like she wanted them to be. Today had to be perfect for Safaree. She looked at the clock and knew that he was about to get up and do his morning routine. Relieve himself, shower, and then enter his study to work on things for his jewelry business. He loved that store and was on the verge of opening another in New York. Him taking online classes and getting his degree in Business and talking classes on gems really paid off.
Nicki heard the faint sound of water running so she hurried to the kitchen and grabbed the fruit arrangement out of the fridge and brought it back to the study. She plucked a pineapple off of it and popped it in her mouth. She sat in his leather chair behind his desk and waited for him to come down.
Safaree put on some sweat pants after applying lotion to his body, leaving his upper half bare. He walked downstairs thinking he would find Nicki in the front room making calls but was met with an empty living room. He went to the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water and heading to his study.
When he opened the door he stopped in his tracks. Nicki had the room set up so he would look to the left and see all the balloons and bears she had got for him. She went to the Hershey's factory and got him a big milk chocolate Hershey's bar made, it would take him a month to finish it, a week with the help of her and the kids.
Safaree walked closer to the display still not noticing Nicki on the other side of the room. He picked up a calender that had Nicki on the cover. He opened it seeing she was the photo for each month. He flipped through it stopping on May, Nicki was laying in a field of wild orchids in a summer dress with no shoes on. Her hair was straight and flowed down her back. Safaree went to July and seen she had a bikini made out of Black Cat firecrackers. She had a long fuse in one hand that connected to the bikini and a lit lighter in the other. She was giving a seductive that he had seen on numerous occasions. He closed the calender and sat it back down.
"Happy Valentines Day." Nicki said.
Safaree looked over his shoulder finally seeing Nicki, she had her legs propped up on his desk. His eyes traveled from her pink pumps to her well oiled legs, to her lace boy shorts, to her flat and toned stomach. When he got to her breast he stopped and lingered more then made his way to her lovely face.
"Happy Valentines Day to you to baby."
Nicki stood up and walked over to him planting a kiss on his lips. Taking him by the hand she walked him back to his desk chair. She hopped up on the desk and allowed him to sit in the chair.
"You do know your ass is all over my papers?" Safaree raised an eyebrow. Nicki leaned over giving him a side view of her behind while he pulled the papers from under her. "Thanks you."
"I know you have been super busy babe and I want you to relax today. I want take no for an answer, I sent the kids away for the night so we can finally have some quality time together. I planned our day down to the last minute and you can't ruin it by being stubborn. You have been working so hard the past couple months and i want to show you that I appreciate you instead of you showing me." Nicki scooted directly in front of him on the desk making him raise his eyebrow again because she had to open her legs to sit there, giving him a great view of what he hadn't had in weeks do to their schedule's. "I love you Safaree, so are you going to do what I ask?" He looked up at her face.
"It doesn't sound like I have a choice now does it?" He moved the chair closer to her making her legs go wider.
"Nope you sure don't." She kissed his lips a couple of times. Pulling away she grabbed a strawberry and placed it against his lips waiting for him to open them. He bit into the fruit and she put what was left in her mouth.
"What do you have planned for me today?" he asked. She shook her head no and slipped a grape in his allowing her finger to follow it in then removed it from his mouth. She watched his full lips as he chewed adding a pineapple soon after. Safaree took a cherry and placed it in her mouth. "So are we going to just feed each other fruit and stay half naked all day?"
"We don't have to eat fruit all day if you don't want." She put a chocolate covered strawberry in his mouth. He smirked at her not acknowledging the naked part. He looked over and noticed a tray with sauces on it, he nodded towards it.
"What's that for?" Nicki looked over and smiled. She grabbed the caramel sauce and tilted Safaree's head back.
"Don't swallow."
"Pauz." he opened his mouth. Nicki squeezed a generous amount in his mouth. She pulled his head and began tonguing him down. when she finished she had caramel on her chin and his. "My turn." Safaree said. Grabbing the chocolate sauce he returned the favor. Nicki couldn't hold it all so some spilled on to her thighs which Safaree was happy to clean up with his tongue. Then started moving his way up towards her pleasure spot.
"Whoa, you get's none of that right now." She said giggling.
"But I thought you said you wanted me to relax?" he kissed her shoulder.
"I do but that's not on the agenda right now."
"Why are you teasing me then, walking around here half naked in see through underwear?"
"You don't like?" she said leaning back resting her leg on his shoulder.
"Stop playing before you get yourself in trouble." he grabbed her leg placing it back where it was.
"You want breakfast?" he shook his head yes eating another pineapple. "Come on baby." he pushed back letting her hop down and walk in front of him.
--
"So what movie are we about to watch?"
"Well since I did that movie with Steven last year I suckered him into giving me the new Denzel action movie you wanted to see.
"Whoa, how did you pull that?"
"I have my ways. So here." she handed him the remote for the theater. "I'll be getting things ready for later while you watch the movie."
"Wait you aren't staying to watch it with me?"
"You know I don't like action movies."
"I don't like chick flicks but you make me watch them."
"Babe." she whined.
"It's Valentines day and you want me to spend it alone? Fine." he turned and faced the screen.
"Don't be like this." she nudged his leg. "Faree?" no answer. "Safaree!" She sat on his lap wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'll be back before it's over. I have to make sure everything is perfect for later on for you." she snuggled her face in his neck. "You mad?"
"Nope." he said quickly.
"Yes you are." she kicked her legs.
"I'm not babe."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Give me lips." she poked her lips out. Safaree pecked them and went back to looking at the screen.
"You're mad." She pushed off him only to be pulled back down.
"I'm not mad butterball." he said in her ear. Nicki smiled at the pet name she had since she was pregnant. "Go do your thing." he tapped her on her butt.
"Mkay." she ran up the stairs and out into the hallway where she stopped because she was winded. "Girl you are no spring chicken anymore." she walked to the backyard and looked at the sumo mat and outfits out side. She knew it was corny but she wanted to get back to the silly things they did before they had kids.
--
"Nicki." she heard Safaree yell out 20 minutes later. She quickly walked back to the living room trying to keep him away from the backyard.
"What are you doing up here sexy?"
"I couldn't enjoy the movie without you under me." he sat on the couch and she sat next to him.
"I remember when you couldn't stand it."
"That was years ago. I'm set in my ways now." he put his arm around her shoulders, she intertwined their fingers.
"Your talking like you are old."
"I am old."
"No you can't get old because that means that I have to get old and I don't age."
"Just because this body of yours is still perfection doesn't mean you don't age baby cakes."
"Lies." she screamed then broke out into laughter. "Well what do you want to do old man?"
"You are the one with the plan." he kissed her forehead.
"Well since you don't want to watch your movie we are ans hour and a half ahead of schedule."
"I know what we can do to pass time." he dropped his voice lower. Nicki looked up at him.
"Oh really now? And what is that?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Let's go upstairs and I'll show you." he kissed her hand and looked into her eyes.
"Nope, can't do it." she giggled. "You want your gifts now?"
"You got me a gift?"
"Of course." She went into the kitchen and came out with a couple of big boxes and a small one.
"I didn't need anything babe, you didn't have too." Safaree said.
"Hush and open them." he sat up and opened the big boxes first and discovered three new fitted hats. One was signed by the Miami Heat basketball team.
"Thanks babe." he said smiling. "I got to put this up for safe keeping." he moved on to the small box, he opened it revealing a watch with black diamonds all around it. "Whoaaaaaaaa." He slipped it on and looked at it from all angles. Nicki sat there taking in his reaction, making him happy always made her happy.
"So you like?" she asked.
"Damn right I like." he picked her up off the couch holding her close.
"Safaree put me down you know I don't like heights!"
"Thank you Nic."
"It's never a problem baby." he placed her feet back on the ground.
"So can we go do whatever you have in the backyard?"
"How do you know it's something back there?" she side eyed him.
"Well I kinda on accident saw." he gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Don't give me those eyes. It doesn't work with Aaron anymore and it damn sure doesn't work with your big goofy ass." She folded her arms.
"Calm down." he pecked her lips repeatedly until she smiled. "There's my smile. Now lets go have fun." he took her hand walking to the back. "What is it?" he asked.
"Sumo wrestling." she said squinting because of the sun.
"Really Nicki?"
"Hey don't make fun. I thought you would like it."
"I'm sure I will, it was just a shocker."
"Let's put on the outfits and play and I'll explain the rules." Nicki sat down to slide her legs into the suit and stood up, Safaree mimicked what she did and put his on. "Babe zip me." Safaree struggled because of the suit but he eventually got it. "Thanks. Okay rules are you have to knock the other one out of the circle to get points. okay?"
"Nicki I don't know how I feel about running at you."
"Your not going to hurt me with all this padding on babe, besides you're already in the outfit."
"Okay but not one tear better fall from your eyes." Nicki rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Go to your side of the mat and be prepared to get tackled boy." she playfully pushed him.
"Alright smart ass." he went.
"Now when I count to three we go okay?"
"Okay."
"1....2..........3." Nicki took off charging at Safaree and Safaree at her, the next thing Nicki knew her butt was meeting the ground. "Whoa." she looked around and realized she was still in the circle. "Ha you don't get a point." she rolled over on her stomach and began pushing herself to her feet. Safaree took his foot and knocked her back down. Her body now laying over the line.
"Now I do." he said with a smug look on his face.
"Oh my God Safaree you are such a cheater."
"I've never cheated on you a day in my life and I'm offended you said it." he said.
"Oh shut up you know what I mean." he smiled.
"Oh I see what you meant, my bad."
"Whatever loser. Get ready to go again." she got back to her side.
They continued to play the game for hours because Nicki refused to give up. She hadn't won any rounds and it was pissing her off. Safaree thought it was rather amusing. The determination on her face was adorable to him. Her hair once perfectly curled hair had now fallen and was sticking to her head.
"Again SB."
"No Nicki I'm tired." he laid on the mat still in his sumo suit.
"But I haven't won a game yet." she pouted.
"And you won't ever." Nicki plopped down next to him.
"I'm sad." she fake pouted.
"You'll be alright."
"You don't even care you jerk." she kicked him smirking.
"Because you aren't really sad."
"I could have been."
"Why are you trying to start big drama on my day?" he asked.
"I'm sorry." she didn't want to stress him out.
"I was just kidding, your fine. Come lay with me." Nicki got as close as possible. "Dang babe you getting kinda big lay off the cupcakes."
"You know how I like my cakes." they broke out into laughter. "Have you liked your day so far?" Nicki looked over at him.
"Yeah. I'm glad you didn't go all out."
"I knew you didn't want to go anywhere. Your a homebody like me now."
"All I need are my kids and you and y'all are here so I'm here." Nicki leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.
"At times you can say the cutest things."
"Yeah a coon is getting soft."
"Shut up. Come on let's go shower and get ready for dinner."
"Okay help me up." he lifted his arm for her to take.
"Fuck I look like son?" Nicki said in her NY voice pushing herself up but Safaree tipped her over and watched her tumble.
"Babyyyy." Nicki whined. Safaree got up and began walking, he should have walked further away because Nicki stuck her foot in between his as he was walking and down went Safaree.
"Oh shit." he said as he hit the ground. Nicki was so tickled by it. He just laid there.
"Get up punk and help me." Nicki yelled.
"No you help me."
"NO!" she shouted "You knocked me down first so you gotta help me up."
"We just gone be some laying here mofos because I'm not moving."
"Ugh you're such a jerk, do you know that?"
"Yeah but you love this jerk."
"I do." she said smiling.
"Do you remember when you said those words to me. Sweetest words that I have ever heard."
"Awww you're such a little corn ball, I love it. Give me kisses." she made kiss faces at him while trying to roll over to him.
"No." Safaree got a burst of strength and somehow made it to his feet, running the best he could away. Nicki laughed at him waddling more than running away.
"That's why you not gettin none tonight." she yelled getting up on her own.
"I was just playing, why you got to withhold the goods?" he asked as she walked passed him into the house.
--
Safaree come down the stairs in one of his best Armani suits. He didn't want to get dressed up at all but Nicki insisted. He thought it was the least he could do after all she had done for him. He walked into the kitchen to find the table set up for two with candle's lit, it had Nicki written all over it. There was a red table cloth and two silver lids covering their food. He wanted Her to hurry up because he was hungry.
"Babe come on." he shouted towards the stairs.
"I'm coming Safaree, give me a minute." she yelled back.
Nicki continued looking herself over in her full length mirror. She moved her dress around to show her breast just right. At 38 years old she was blessed that they still sat up perky. The pink dress that she wore had a deep plunge in the front stopping a couple inches above her bellybutton. She reapplied her lipstick then headed downstairs.
Safaree stood at the bottom of the staircase fixing his diamond cuff links Nicki got him for their very first valentines day as man and wife six years ago. He looked up to find his beautiful wife descending the stairs.
"Don't you look gorgeous." said as a statement more than a question.
"Thank you." she smiled and took his hand as they made their way into the kitchen. "You look handsome." She stopped and fixed his tie for him.
Safaree pulled her body to his and whispered in her ear.
"How bout we skip dinner and I take you back upstairs?" he kissed her neck. Nicki blushed and gently pushed away from him.
"Down boy." She walked over to the bucket holding the champagne and pulled it out. Safaree walked up behind her getting closer than needed and took it from her hand.
"I got that." he poured their glasses. "Here is a toast to us. To six wonderful years of marriage to an amazing woman. Thanks for loving me how no other woman did or could. You are one of a kind, a rare find." he nodded towards her.
"Here's a toast to a wonderful man, husband, and father. You go above and beyond what is asked of you. You treat me like a queen even when I'm being the most difficult person. You support my decisions in everything I do. I will be here for you till the ends of our days. I love You Safaree."
"I love you to Onika." they raised their glasses and sipped. "You ready to eat."
"Yes." Safaree pulled out her chair for her then sat down himself.
"What did you get us?"
"I got you steak with grilled shrimp. Mashed potatoes."
"Are they loaded?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Do you not remember the doctors appointment you had last week. Your cholesterol is horrible, you lucky I ordered you potatoes period. Be thankful. And you have green beans."
"What you get?" Nicki uncovered her shrimp salad. "You would be all healthy."
"Hey this body does look like this for nothing." she grabbed his hand. "Say grace." they bowed their hands and Safaree blessed the food then began eating.
"You could have at least put bacon and sour cream in the potatoes."
"You mad?" he just stuck a fork full of them in his mouth. "Hows the store doing?"
"It's doing fine. I have to make a piece for Em. I have to start on it in the next couple of days."
"You know your daughter wants a diamond ring."
"She's five."
"Kayla does not care. She is a daddy's girl and she knows you can get one."
"When did she decide this?"
"When we were looking through a magazine one day she came across a picture of Beyonces ring."
"Oh she wants one that big?" he asked cutting another piece of his steak.
"Yeah, whoever marries her is going to have a hell of a time, she is so spoiled."
"It's your fault."
"Don't even, you are the one who bought her the $3000 dollar dress for Easter last year then threw it away because she got a grass stain on it."
"And I'll do it again, my baby deserves the best."
"See. Don't say anything when she turns 16 and wants the most expensive car in the world." Nicki rolled her eyes. "I'm full."
"You took like three bites."
"I ate more than that. I see you are almost done."
"This was good. Thanks again baby."
"Never a problem. You want dessert, I got you that ice cream cake that you like from Carrie's Place." she got up to take their plates and put them in the sink.
"Naw, I'm good for right now. What else do you have planned.?"
"Nothing. My plans ended with dinner. Is there something you want to do?"
"I had a thing or two in mind." Nicki smiled while washing the dishes.
"Oh yeah what is that?"
"It's this girl I planned on seeing later."
"Oh really? What does she look like?"
"Body of a goddess. Her face looks like God set time aside to make sure it was free of imperfections. I fall in love with her every time I stare into her big brown eyes." Nicki turned off the water and dried her hands. Safaree was leaning against the counter biting at a hang nail. Nicki walked up to him.
"Is there anyway I could change your mind about this girl?" she slipped her arms around his waist.
"I don't think so. She's a keeper but you could try." Nicki kissed his lips then slipped her tongue passed them. Safaree held her waist.
"Am I making progress?" She asked in between kisses.
"Keep trying." he responded.
"Let's take this upstairs." Nicki walked towards the stairs pulling him along. When they made it upstairs they were about to pass the guest bedroom when Safaree stopped. "What's wrong."
"Nothing Let's just go in here."
"Why not our bedroom?"
"Let's just go in here."
"I don't care where we go, just hurry up." She opened the door then halted. She looked around the room and seen over a dozen boxes sitting on the bed. They varied in sizes but were all wrapped in some shade of pink.
"Happy Valentines Day Baby."
"Safaree when did you get all of this?"
"It wasn't easy. You haven't left the house that much this week but I got it done. Are you going to open them."
Nicki turned around and hugged him. "Not right now. I want to show you my thanks first."
"Really?" She nodded her head and pulled him down the hall to the master bed room.
"Who do you want me to be tonight?" she asked. They roll played a lot and she knew it excited him.
"Tonight I just want Onika and all her realness."
"I think I can handle that."
They disrobed and made love well into the early morning.
