After Burn...PREVIEW

*60+ comments on the last chapter eh? So Damon's out the picture or is he? Hmm I'll never tell! lmao hope u like if not...Fuck you foreva nigga*

The sun was shining through the big bay windows of suite 1814 of Trump Towers, but it wasn't bothering the couple occupying it. Both laid there just staring at the other in the eyes. They were connected, not in the physical sense, neither were touching the other but spiritually they were connected at the moment. The way he felt was the way she felt. Both hearts felt the same joy and pain. The two spoke with their eyes, telling what the mouth wanted but wouldn't dare.

He made contact by moving a strand of hair out of her face that was blocking his great view of her. She kissed his palm before he moved it back by his side, never once breaking eye contact.

"You're doing it again." Safaree said. Nicki adjusted in the bed they were sharing.

"What do you mean?"

"You've locked me into staring at you like we used to do." Nicki smiled.

"I'm sorry." She said still staring at him."

"You know we have to call and check on our kids."

"I know but a little longer. I don't want to hear moms mouth just yet."

"Will you be mad if i break our moment, we need to eat."

"Nooo, we can last a little longer."

"Nicki your stomach has been making noises for the past hour."

"You heard that?"

"Yeah. Let me order us some food and you go take a shower."

"Am I funky?" She raised her arm high. Safaree leaned over and sniffed.

"You've smelled better." he wrinkled his nose. She hit his chest.

"Hey, you love my funk." Nicki drew her bottom lip into her mouth smiling at him.

"Yeah I do." Safaree leaned over and pulled her into a kiss. "Go wash yo ass." He popped her on her butt and rolled out of the bed.

Nicki stretched out in the bed., still in the sweats she wore out of the church the day before. She sat up and watched Safaree move about in the front area of the suite. The urge to pee hit her so she jumped up and went into the bathroom. After releasing her bladder she washed her hands and began brushing her teeth. Still brushing she went and turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature to just below "hot as hell". Going back to the sink she rinsed her mouth out then disrobed, her thoughts went to Damon.

Safaree was out in the living room setting the small table for the food when it arrived. He went to change the sheets, he had housekeeping bring up extra sheets the night before so they wouldn't be disturbed. After tidying up the suite Safaree got undressed and decided to hop in the shower but noticed Nicki still hadn't finished up. He walked in the bathroom being hit with a cloud of steam. When he made his way to the glass shower he seen Nicki vigorously rubbing at her skin with her towel. He could here her cries. Safaree opened the shower door and watched her for a second. He reached for her but she pushed him and kept scrubbing at her skin.

"Nicki what are you doing?"

"I can still smell him on me. Make it go away, please." She said through tears. "I can't get it to go away, baby make it go away." She pushed the towel into his hands. He stood for a second trying to process what was going on. "Safaree please." She begged. He began rubbing her body with the cloth. "Harder." he scrubbed a little harder. She poured more of Safaree's body wash on the towel, that was all she had to use.

"Nicki everything is going to be okay." Safaree reassured her. He didn't want to keep going at her skin the way he was. Her skin was sensitive and she would be red all over if he kept this up. "He's gone you don't have to see him ever again." Safaree held on to her letting her know she wasn't alone, she latched on to his body.

"Don't ever leave me, please? I'll do better than last time, just please don't go." She looked up at him with the water still pouring over her head mixing in with her tears.

"I'll never leave you again. I mean that."

The Next Day

Safaree had finally convinced Nicki to go home after much back and forth. They were currently sitting in the car in front of the house. Nicki was scrolling through her phone. Every time Safaree suggested they get out she would say "One minute", they were on the 12th minute. Safaree was getting agitated because he wanted to see his kids and she was playing around. Safaree opened the door and Nicki's hand flew to his arm.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"In the house, this is dumb. I want to see my kids."

"And you think I don't?" She let go of his arm.

"Well come on baby there is nothing to be afraid of in there. Everyone is excited to see you." He said stroking her cheek.

"How are they excited if they don't know I'm coming?" She squinted her eyes at him.

"Maybe I might have sent out a txt saying you were coming home." Nicki rolled her eyes. "But baby everyone was so worried and blowing me up asking when you were gonna come home. I had to tell them."

"It's okay babe let's go in, I wanna see my babies." she put her phone in her purse.

They got out the car and headed towards the door. Safaree took her keys and unlocked it letting her step inside first.

When Nicki walked in she heard a lot of commotion coming from the kitchen and living room area. The house looked in decent shape. All her wedding gifts were siting in front of the closet and most of the front entrance. She instantly got sad until she heard Zaria screaming her name and running towards her. Nicki dropped her purse and fell to her knees holding out her arms for an hug.

"Mommy I missed you." Zaria screamed and ran into her mothers arms.

"Not as much as I missed you baby." Nicki planted kisses all over her face.

"Mommy can I have a snack?" Zaria asked. Nicki chuckled at her daughter, she missed these moments.

"Yes baby, you can have a snack."

"So you don't love your daddy no more?" Safaree said looking hurt.

Before Zaria could answer there was a loud crash and a scream.

*Yea........well....that's the end of the preview..... Comment if you like...You know what all i usually say....Love you guys for still sticking with me even though I neglect you guys.*

Wedding Bells...

*Well we made it, here is what you guys haven't been waiting for. Enjoy.*


The downstairs of Nicki's home was lively for a Saturday morning. Today was her big day, she was getting married. Her mom and Safaree's mom were getting all the bridesmaids in the hair and make-up chairs. Martin was on the phone taking care of business. It looked like the scene from a movie, girls walking around have dressed talking, laughing and drinking mimosas.  It was only 9am so the mothers decided to let Nicki sleep in but it was about time for her to get up and start getting ready, she had to be at the church at noon. The triplets were in the upstairs hallway trying to figure out what they should do.

"Nana said leave her alone." Zaria pleaded.

"But he said to go talk to her." Daria reached for the doorknob but Ethan pushed her hand.

"We gonna get in trouble." Ethan whispered.

"Stop being a scaredy cat." Daria taunted.

"I am not."

"Come on then." she looked at him. Ethan knew he wasn't but he didn't want to be a scaredy cat.

"Okay." he agreed. Zaria had no choice she was going where ever they were at.

Daria twisted the doorknob and opened the door up. They all looked at the bed and seen a small lump in the bed buried under the plush comforter. The three tip toed over and used the foot stool to climb onto the bed.

"Where is she?" Zaria whispered to Daria, she just shrugged her shoulders.

"We should go back to our room." Ethan said looking at the lump.

Zaria found the edge of the comforter and pulled it back a little revealing her mothers face. She put her finger up to her mouth and "shh" the other two. She pulled it back enough where it would stay. They got a little closer and just stared at her not knowing what to do. Ethan moved a piece of her hair out of her face, he thought his mommy was the prettiest mommy in the world.

"Wake her up." Daria told Zaria.

"You do it." she snapped back.

All of a sudden Nicki grabbed them all and they screamed as loud as they could. Nicki laughed at them, she had been up when they opened the door. She began tickling them which sent them into a fit of giggles.

"What are you three up to?" She asked but they were still laughing. "Answer me." she hit them with her pillow.

"Mommy stop." Ethan giggled out.

"Mommy? Wait are these my children?" She picked Zaria up and stared at her hard. "Well you look like my baby girl." She picked up Ethan's leg and smelled his foot. "Yeah you smell like my Ethan." she acted like his foot stunk.

"Heyyy." He said pouting.

"Mommy's just playing. Give me my kisses you guys, I've missed you." They all tried to hug her at once.

"I seen you when I went to sleep." Daria said sitting in Nicki's lap.

"That was a whole 10 hours ago." Nicki kissed her cheek. "I love you guys, did you know that?"

"Yes." They answered.

"What were you three up to?" she ran her hand over Ethan's head.

"Nothing, we wanted to see you."

"Mommy I seen your dress." Zaria said smiling.

"You did? Is it as pretty as the day you saw it?" Zaria shook her head yes. "It is? Well then mommy is going to look pretty today then huh?"

"You always look pretty." Daria said.

"Aw thank you mommies baby."

"Mommy where is daddy?" Ethan asked.

Nicki didn't know what to tell him. She knew that Safaree had called and talked to the kids for the last two days but no one knew where he was at.

"He had to go away for a little while but he'll be back baby." was all she could come up with, she silently prayed that he would come back soon.

"Will he be at the wedding?" Zaria asked.

"Maybe." she said forcing a smile. "Let's watch some cartoons." She gave Ethan the remote. They settled in and watched Spongebob. Nicki heard her mothers voice in the hallway.

"I know they didn't go wake her up." the triplets looked at each other and slid down in the bed under the covers. Nicki looked at them and was about to ask them what was going on when her mom came in with a tray of food. "Are those three in here?" Nicki glanced at the bed and saw Zaria shake her head no.

"Um no haven't seen them, you lost my kids ma?" Nicki pointed at the bed and her mom put the tray on the nightstand.

"I guess I did, well I guess we will have to send all of Zaria's clothes and give Daria and Ethan's toys and balls to the homeless children." Mrs.Carol said.

Zaria was the first up out of the bed.

"Noooo not my clothes." She ran out the room with the other two hot on her trail.

"Oh they're they go." her mom said. Nicki laughed and put the tray over her legs.

"Is this mine?" she bit a piece of bacon.

"If it wasn't you sure don't care."

"Sure don't this is my house." She smiled. "Sit with me mommy." Her mom crawled in the bed and sat next to her.

"So how are you feeling baby?"

"I'm ready." She said stuffing her face.

"You don't sound excited."

"Ma please don't start, I'm excited." Nicki didn't want to hear her mouth this early in the morning.

"I'll leave it alone. I just want to see my baby happy." Mrs. Carol stared at her at she ate her food. "Well I got to get back down stairs, those girls will sit and drink all morning if you let them."

"Alright, if you wouldn't mind can you take this back. I'm about to get in the tub. Tell Terrence to be ready for me in a hour. And tell Lauren and Candi to bring the dress in here and hang it in my closet. Oh and-" Mama Carol cut her off.

"Onika I'm not your personal assistant." and with that she left. Nicki knew she would do what she asked. She went and started her bath water. While brushing her teeth she made a couple f mental notes to take of before she left for the honeymoon. She spit in the sink and turned off the sink. Disrobing she got in the hot water and soaked for a bit. She wanted to here from Safaree, she needed him to tell her everything would be okay. She felt tears falling down her cheek, they were quickly wiped away she was sick of crying. She washed her body and got out. Nicki went into the bedroom to dry off and lotion up.

Safaree
How could she love him more than me? I love her more than he ever could. She's supposed to be my fairy tale ending not his. We are supposed to get married and raise our kids as a complete family. Safaree stared at the ceiling in the same clothes he was wearing at the rehearsal dinner. He was at the Trump in a suite about two hours away from the church Nicki was getting married at. He wanted to see his kids but he knew he would have to see her and he didn't know if he could handle it. He knew Zaria and Daria would be just as beautiful as their mother in their flower girl dresses. And Ethan in his identical tux to Safaree's. He needed to talk to someone. His cell had died two days ago and he didn't have his charger so he used the hotel phone to call his mother. When she picked it sounded as if it was a party going on.

"Hello." she answered.

"Ma."

"Safaree is that you?"

"Yeah it's me."

"Hold on let me go to a different room." He heard the commotion fade. "Okay, baby where are you?"

"I'm fine mom. How are the kids?"

"You would know if you were here."

"Ma please don't start, how are they?"

"Nicki said they asked about you earlier and she didn't know what to tell them. You need to come here and talk out whatever is going on between you two."

"There is only one way this can be worked out and she's not willing to do it."

"Safaree if you are talking about the little affair you two have been having for the past two months I know about it and so does Carol."

"What? How did you find out?" he stood up shocked.

"Boy we are your mothers and the way you two acted around each other we knew something was up. It took us a minute to figure it out but we seen you two come out of the closet together fixing your clothes at one of the get togethers. But we're not talking about that, Safaree you love that girl. Get here and tell her before it's to late."

"Mom she doesn't love me back, she wants Damon and I'm not going to stand in her way."

"You and I both know that's bullshit. She loves you, you just to pig headed to see. Safaree she's scared to put her feelings out there for you first, you left her." she slightly yelled.

"And I regret ever doing it ma but she acts like she could care less about how I feel." Safaree yelled becoming angry that his mother was taking her side. "Why are you so concerned about her? You don't care that I'm hurt."

"Of course I care Safaree, I never want my baby boy hurting. But Nicki has been in my life a long time, she's like my daughter. I just want you both to be happy, baby come by the house." his mom pleaded. Safaree wasn't trying to hear that.

"Naw I'm good where I am ma. I'll just talk to you later, give my babies a kiss for me and tell them I love them. I love you mom." He hung up the phone.

Safaree went over the conversation with his mom in his head. His mom acted like he wasn't afraid to love her just like she supposedly afraid to love him. She put him through a lot, he had a reason for his actions three years ago. He went and got in the shower to relieve some of the tension in his body.

Damon

Damon sat in his hotel in uptown New York going over his vows. He was as nervous as a whore in the church house for a couple of reasons. He was scared about marrying Nicki and the fact that Martin had taken Nicki's financial records to an accountant. He hoped he had went back far enough and made changes to where they didn't find the fraud. He loved Nicki and didn't want to go through with his plan but he was in to deep now, he had to finish it. He sat staring at the diamond wedding band he was going to slip on her finger in a couple of hours. He needed his best friend there with him but he knew that couldn't happen.

Nicki
She sat in the chair while Day put the finishing touches on her make-up, she kept fidgeting in her seat. Nicki had a feeling that something was going to happen today. Her imagination was getting the best of her, she took a deep breath while Day stroked her cheek with a brush. She had just gotten a text from Damon saying that Phil wouldn't be able to make it because he had to fly back to Kentucky for an emergency. This annoyed Nicki because he was supposed to be paired with Lauren and now she had no one. Terrence was putting more pins in the bun on top of her head. When he was done he decided to wait to insert the flower on the side of the bun.

"Okay all done." Terrence said standing back looking at his work.

"Me too." said Day. "Take a look." Day handed her a mirror.

Nicki stared at her reflection and marveled at the great job the two had done.

"Thanks you guys, you're the best team ever. I guess it's time for the dress, Lauren can you get it for me?" Lauren went and brought the dress out the closet. Terrence and Day packed up their things and left out so she could get dressed, Lauren stayed to help her.

Nicki disrobed and stepped into her dress, Lauren zipped it in the back. Both went to adjusting and making sure it looked right on her. Nicki kept fixing her breast in the dress, she didn't want a malfunction to happen on her way down the aisle in the church.

"How do I look?" Nicki turned to Lauren.

"You look amazing."

"Is my hair and everything still fine? Did I get make-up on the dress?" Lauren held her friends hand.

"Everything is fine, calm down." She smiled at Nicki. "Just worry about getting down that aisle." Nicki took a deep breath.

"Lauren I'm scared." Nicki confessed.

"All brides get nervous, it's natural." There was a knock at the door then Mrs. Carol appeared.

"Are you almost ready Nicki?"

"Yes ma'am. Are the kids dressed?"

"Yes they are taken care of and sitting on the couch like the good children they are. And you better hurry up, Z-bear is having a fit."

"Why?"

"She wants to see you in the dress." Nicki smiled.

"Tell her I'll be down in five minutes."

"Okay baby." her mom hugged her. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you mom." she left the room. "Lauren can you go get T and tell him to come put the flower in my hair so we can leave?"

"Sure."

Nicki sat on her bed taking the little time she had to clear her mind. She kept hearing all the negative stuff people have said about her and the marriage. She just wanted peace in her life and she felt like she would get that today at the alter. Terrence cam in the room.

"Can you do me a favor?" Nicki asked as he grabbed the flower.

"Depends."

"Can you stand in for Phil as Damon's best man so it will be even." Terrence looked at the distress on her face.

"It would be my honor to be in the Queens wedding." He said smiling.

"Thank you T, what would I do without you?"

"Wearing that same crimped black and pink hair." they laughed together.

Hour & Half Later

Nicki stood at the back of the church as Carla prepped the wedding party. She was fixing a couple strands of Daria's hair. The kids were jittery and Nicki was getting agitated because they were never like this. On the way over to the church it was like they're whole mood changed. Ethan started screaming he wanted his daddy, Daria was trying to come out of her dress claiming it was itchy, and Zaria just had a really bad attitude. Nicki needed Safaree but as usual he had ran like a little boy when things didn't go his way.

"Alright people, get in order. We are about to begin, Nicki can you get the children under control?" Carla asked then whispered something in her mic.

"I'm trying." Nicki knelt down in front the triplet's. "Okay you guy's you have to behave and be the angels mommy knows you can be. Ethan here's your pillow, please don't drop it baby. You two remember to stay together."

"I don't want to do it no more mommy." Ethan said trying to give her back the pillow.

"Please don't do this to mommy Ethan, I need you to be a big boy."

"Where's daddy?" He whined.

"I don't know Ethan." She snapped at him and regretted it immediately as she seen his eyes water. It wasn't his fault. She pulled him to her and hugged him. "I'm sorry baby but can you please do this for mommy?" She felt him shake his head yes. "Thank you." she stood him up straight and fixed his tux. "Are you okay girls?" she grabbed each of their hands.

"Yes mommy." Daria said.

"Nicki are we ready?" Carla asked.

"Yes." She stood up and put the kids in front of her. "We can start." Nicki moved back to the side so that no one would see her before time.

"And cue music." Carla whispered into the mic.

The music began and the doors opened and the processional started with Iesha and Rex leading. Nicki watched as one by one her friends disappeared into the sanctuary. Next thing she knew Ethan was up next to enter, he looked back at her terrified of all the people inside the church. Nicki gave him a thumbs up and he began walking. Carla cued the girls to start walking when Ethan made it half way down the aisle. When they began the doors closed so she could get into position. Nicki inhaled and took the bouquet from Carla.

"This is what we worked for, let's do this." Nicki whispered to herself then nodded to Carla.

"Cue music."

When the guest heard the Wedding March play that all stood and the doors opened revealing Nicki. She began moving down the aisle looking over all the faces, some she knew, some she would get to know. She looked ahead at Damon who was smiling big, Nicki smiled back. She made it to the alter and he helped her step up. She got herself situated then gave the preacher the go ahead.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the presence of these witnesses, to join Damon and Onika in holy matrimony, which is an honorable estate, instituted of God in the time of man's innocence, signifying to us the mystical union which is between Christ and His Church. Which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with His presence at the first miracle which He wrought in Cana of Galilee; and is commended of the Apostle Paul to be honorable among all men, and is therefore not to be entered into lightly or inadvisable, but reverently, discreetly, and in the fear of God. Into which holy estate Damon and Onika come now to be joined and to unite two hearts and lives, blending all interest, sympathies, and hopes. I charge and entreat you, therefore, in entering upon and sustaining this hallowed union, to seek the favor and blessing of Him whose favor is life, whose blessing make the rich and addeth no sorrow. Let us now seek His blessing." Preacher Turner began praying.

"And let the church say Amen."

"Amen." everyone said in unison.

Nicki and Damon looked at each other, Damon gave her a wink and gave his focus back to the preacher.

"If anyone objects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace." The preacher asked. He waited a minute or so. "Okay we-"

"I object." Came from four different areas of the church. Mrs. Carol, Mrs. Davenport, Some man in shades that no one could make out, and the last from Safaree at the back of the church.

Nicki turned around to look at all of them but locked eyes with Safaree. Martin was helping him tuck in his shirt and getting him into his suit jacket. Safaree called Martin and told him what he needed to do and Martin was more than happy to help. Safaree did 100 on the highway getting to the church.

"What?" Damon asked.

"Well I've never had this happen before. Well what's the reasoning, Mrs. Carol." Nicki broke from Safaree's gaze and looked her mother in the eye.

"Onika you're my only daughter and I've let you make your mistakes so you can learn from them but this marriage I feel is a mistake and I can't let you do it. You don't love this man and you never will love him the way you are supposed to love your husband. I can't say I know where your heart resides that only you can say. Marriage is a forever commitment, are you sure you can make that to him?" Nicki looked over at Damon who had a baffled look on his face then back to her mom. "That's it, I've said my peace. It is now up to you baby." Mrs. Carol said.

"Son?" The preacher was gesturing towards Safaree. "What's your reason?"

"I love her." the crowd began to gasp and whisper to each other.

"What the hell Safaree?" Damon yelled walking towards Safaree with clenched fist but Rex, Wayne, and Baby stood in front of him letting him know it would be none of that.

"I'm sorry Damon." He looked around at all the eyes on him, it was now or never. "Nicki you're supposed to be mine wife not his. And I won't sit back and watch him take the only woman besides my mother who has ever just loved me for me, no judgment. We have always been there for each other. I can't imagine my life without you, ever since we were kids I saw you in my future as old people together." he walked up to her. "I need you and I know you need me. No more running away from our problems, I'll stay until we have an understanding. I love you and I can't see myself without you Onika. I know whatever you need I can do for you. I can be all the man you need baby please don't marry him, I'm the one you want the one you need." Safaree grabbed her hand. "Baby please. I can't guarantee I won't ever hurt you because I'm not perfect but I can promise I will spend everyday after trying to make it up to you. Just give me a chance Nicki."

Nicki had tears coming down her cheek, she had never seen him this vulnerable  in front of so many people. Nicki wiped the one tear that managed to escape his ducts. She began to speak but was cut off.

"Well that's cute and everything but can i give my reason." the man with the shades on said.

Damon's head snapped in his direction quickly. Nicki looked at the, his voice sounded familiar but she couldn't place it. Everyone turned and gave him the attention he asked for.

"And who are you sir?" the preacher asked.

"Phil." Nicki said confused. She thought Damon said he couldn't make it. He smirked at her.

"I'm Phil, Damon's best friend and Lover." The church was once again filled with gasps and whispers. Damon's eyes grew wide.

Nicki stood in shock at Phil's confession, she had a blank expression on her face. She never put two and two together, neither seemed liked the type.

"His..his what?" Nicki asked.

"You heard me right his lover."

"Shut up Phil."

"NO Damon! That's the reason your in this mess your in now, marrying some girl you don't love." Phil shouted. Damon looked at Nicki but she wouldn't look at him.

"I love her."

"That's the problem. You were never supposed to catch feelings, you were supposed to stick to the plan."

"Plan?" Nicki and Safaree said looking at Damon.

"I didn't want to do it anymore but he blackmailed me, you were never supposed to find out Nicki."

"What plan Damon?" Nicki yelled. Damon just looked at the ground.

"You're so pathetic." Phil said with disgust. "The plan was for him to marry you, embezzle money and leave you after six months. But he started carrying for you, so it took us a minute but we got the money."

"The $500,000." Nicki said out loud. "How could you?" She asked Damon. "How long have you been sleeping with him?"

"Since college. When he met you we were going through a rough patch, and you just wouldn't go away. But you didn't have what it took to please him and that's when he came crawling back to my bed." Nicki felt sick.

"Oh my God, you've slept with me and him. Do you have something?" She looked at Damon.

"No Nicki." Damon shook his head

"You sick bastard." Safaree ran towards him but was held back by Wayne, and Mack.

Nicki fell to her knees crying. She felt sick to her stomach, the possibility of her having HIV or AIDS made her stomach churn. She looked up and the whole church was staring at her, she felt like a goldfish in a fish bowl.

"Safaree." She said barely above a whisper. Safaree was still trying to get to Damon. "Safaree. Safaree. Safaree." She yelled his name finally getting his attention. "Get me out of here." Safaree went and picked her up and walked swiftly to the back of the church and out the doors. He found a room and took Nicki inside it locking them in. He stood her up and she began pacing. "I'm hot Safaree." She start pulling at the the necklace around her neck, she ripped it off. "Safaree get the dress of me please." She was crying hysterically at this point. Safaree searched for the zipper when he found it it only went down a fraction of the way.

"It's stuck."

"Rip it." She yelled out. Safaree grabbed each side and tore the dress apart. Nicki hurriedly got out of it and knelt down holding herself. Safaree was trying to process all that happened. Someone began pounding on the door.

"Nicki I need to talk to you." Damon yelled out. Safaree became angry and charged the door.

"Safaree please...no." he stopped in his tracks. "Hold me please." he went back and picked her up and sat on the couch holding her tight. "What if I have-"

"Shhh, don't worry. We'll go get tested together, you're not alone baby. I need you to calm yourself." He kissed her forehead. They sat there blocking out all the commotion going on on the other side of the door. Neither knew what would happen from here on out but both knew they couldn't be without the other.

*Soooo, what did you think? Did I do good? Should I continue or leave it here? I really need you to comment and give me your thoughts, no half ass comments please. Some of you alluded to what you thought he was hiding, which pissed me off! lmao The preachers part in the wedding we all know I didn't write, so no smart comments about it. lol Anywho, I hope I didn't disappoint you guys. DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT THIS CHAPTER ON THE TL. Well until next time maybe, Smooches*

Road to the Wedding Part.3...

*Not much to say. Enjoy, don't kill me. I can finally stop stressing. Excuse any spelling errors. Okay GO!*
Continued...
Damon looks from Nicki to Shante wondering where the tension is coming from since he has never met Shante before. He breaks the silence introducing himself since neither Nicki nor Safaree seemed to do so. Nicki was giving Safaree and evil glare while he just smiled at her smugly.

"Hi I'm Damon, Nicki's Fiance." He extended his hand.

"Hello I'm Shante, I'm-"

"Nobody important." Nicki cut her off grabbing Damon's extended hand. "Come on baby let's go bless the food and eat." Nicki plastered a big smile on her face and walked off with Damon.

"Uh it was nice meeting you Shante." Damon said while being pulled away. "Babe what was all that about. why were you rude to that girl?"

"Why do you care?"

"Look I don't want to fight with you okay. I just want you to be happy today that's all." Damon kissed her cheek. Nicki sighed.

"I know you do baby, I'm sorry for snapping on you baby."

The pair went to the head table and prayed over the food and then everyone went to make plates. Everyone was eating and joking around. Nicki became more and more annoyed by Shante as the night progressed. Shante was being extra in Nicki's eyes,  touching on Safaree unnecessarily, speaking when her two cents was clearly not needed, and laughing obnoxiously. Nicki was over both of them and was two seconds away from screaming at them to get out. Nicki's little brother came over and started speaking with her taking her mind off the two odd balls in the room. Damon whispered in Nicki's ear then went  outside to take a phone call.

"Why do you keep blowing up my phone?"

"You keep ignoring me that's why. Why haven't you come to see me?" Said the voice on the other end.

"I'm busy with my wedding that's why. I got you your money, now just give me time."

"I just want to see you Damon and know that you're alright, I miss you." Damon ran his hand over his face.

"I know you miss me, I miss you too. You have to give me time so I can work somethings out then I'll be back to see you."

"Let me come to the wedding on Saturday, she did send me an invitation."

"No! Do not come here. How would that look my Wife and my lover at my wedding. I won't disrespect her like that."

"You're already disrespecting her every time you come down and fuck me. She can't make you feel like I can."

"Please stop. We'll be together, just be patient."

"Okay. I don't me to stress you out, it's just I was here first and she's all in my territory."

"This was your idea so don't get in  your feelings."

"I know it was my idea. I just wish it was me walking down the aisle instead of that bitch."

"Why are you so mean towards her? She has been nothing but nice to you. I'm starting to regret everything, she doesn't deserve this."

"Don't grow a heart and conscious now. Get the rest of the money and when six months is up divorce her and get back to me." Damon peeped back in the part room and seen Nicki. She looked like she was ready to snap.

"Look I gotta go. I'll call you don't call me no more." Damon hung up. And went back into the room and sat by Nicki.

"Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Everything is just fine." He kissed her forehead.

Nicki watched her and Damon's family tear up the dance floor to One Nation Under a Groove by Bootsy Collins. She loved seeing her family happy. She was happy until she seen Shante and Safaree dancing.

"Come on baby lets go dance." Nicki grabbed Damon's hand.

"Baby you don't dance." He laughed. She glared at him.

"Then be a good future husband and teach me." She said.

"Alright, let's go."

They merged on to the dance floor with everyone else. Nicki tried her best to keep up with Damon and not look like a fool. She tried mirroring his moves but it just didn't work so she went to her go to move which was just rolling her body. Nicki figured she couldn't mess that up to bad. All of a sudden she collided with another, she turned around to apologize but when she seen it was Shante she just turned around and continued dancing. Shante wasn't letting it go and tapped Nicki on her shoulder.

"Um next time you bump into somebody you need to say excuse me." Shante turned back around. Safaree prayed Nicki had learned to hold her peace but when he seen her turn around he knew shit was about to hit the fan.

"You bumped into me at my party sweetie so you need to be the one thanking me for not beating your ass." Nicki whipped her head around hitting Shante in the face with her blond lace front.

"Just let it go Shante." Safaree said.

"You need to listen to the fool." Nicki yelled over her shoulder now dancing with Damon again.

"Is everything okay?" Damon mouthed to Nicki. she shook her head yes and kept dancing.

"I don't know who the hell you think you are but I'm not one to kiss anybody ass. You bumped into me and I deserve an apology." Shante slightly pushed Nicki's shoulder. Nicki stumbled forward a little bit because of her heels. Nicki turned around with a right hook waiting for Shante's left jaw but all she met was Safaree's chest.

"Not today." he said. But Nicki was still trying to get to her. The party had stopped and everyone was looking at the what was going on.

"Safaree let me take her up to the room."

"Naw I got this. Me and her need to talk." Safaree picked her up fireman style over his shoulder carrying her out the room still trying to get back and fight Shante.

"What's going on here?" Safaree's mom asked.

"She just mad because Safaree wants me and not her.

"Girl don't be stupid. You see who he is trying to calm down. He didn't want you four years ago and he doesn't want you now. You should go before your little feelings get hurt again. Nina, Lauren, Candi. please escort this young lady out.

"Gladly." Nina said.

"Well let's go." Lauren pushed the girl. Shante squealed from once again being embarrassed by Nicki.

Meanwhile Safaree was looking for someplace to talk to Nicki that was private. He went down the hall Checking random doors while Nicki beat his back telling him to put her down. Safaree jiggled the handle to the last door on the right and it opened. He walked in and turned on the light, it was the janitors closet. He went in and closed the door putting Nicki down.

"What the hell was that?" He asked.

"Bitch pushes me and you ask me that question? Move Safaree." She tried to move passed him but he nudged her back.

"Why have you been acting so petty lately?" Nicki's eyes widen.

"Me acting petty? You brought that trick to my rehearsal dinner knowing I don't like her, if that ain't some petty shit I don't know what is. Move Safaree."

"No."

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to talk. I want to finish us and be clear on where we stand. I want you to tell me you don't love me."

"Let me go Safaree." She made it to the door but he pushed it closed, pushing her her into the door. He moved her hair away from her neck and put his face there. "Safaree please."

"Please what Nicki? Tell me what you want and what you don't want." He kissed her cheek then her neck. She tried her best not to but a moan escaped her lips. She turned with her back to the door and stared at him. She ran her hand over his cheek. "Tell me what you want, please?"

Nicki didn't know what she wanted, that was the problem. She pulled him into a tight hug, she couldn't tell him what he wanted.

"I want to marry Damon." She whispered in his ear. He pulled away from her with a hurt expression on his face. "I will always love you Safaree, you're my best friend." She grabbed his hands but he snatched away.

"Leave."

"Please be happy for me." She was crying.

"I'm happy. Don't I look happy?" He put on smile. "Go back to your party Nicki." He opened the door for her and Damon was there with a scowl on his face.

"Damon." Nicki said caught off guard by him.

"What the hell is going on between you two?" Damon asked.

"What do you mean Damon?"

"Don't play dumb with me Onika. You know what I mean. Every time I try and comfort you I can't because he's already doing it. You never come to me for your problems you always go to him. You don't treat me like your future husband. Tell me what's going on."

"Nothing baby."

"I heard you moaning in here so don't tell me it's nothing."

"I don't know what you heard but you didn't hear that. Tell him Safaree." Nicki's eyes were pleading with him not to act of anger and spill.

"Well Safaree is that what I heard? Were you making my fiance moan?" Damon clenched his fists.

Safaree had to grin at that question. He wanted to say not only have i made her moan but I've made her scream out my name countless times as she came all over my dick. I've had her all over that room you share and at times used your body wash to shower with. But he looked at her and couldn't do that to her.

"Naw that's not what you heard at all. I was just trying to get her to calm down, she was crying because she was embarrassed by the way she acted in front of your family."

"See, now will you calm down please." Nicki just wanted to keep peace between the two. "I need to finish talking to Safaree so can we have a moment."

"No we are done talking you can go."

"Safaree please, we need to figure out where we stand remember?"

"Naw I see where we stand Nic. Everything is all good. I'm bout to head out, I'll go up and say goodbye to the kids then I'm out. Have a nice night." Safaree brushed passed both of them and got on the elevator.

"Nicki I'm sorry for assuming things it's just You won't ever let me be there for you and it's frustrating. I know he is your best friend but you did used to date him so it's just weird to me i guess? Can you forgive me?" Nicki just shook her head yes.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom I'll meet you back in the part okay?"

"Alright, you sure you don't want me to wait on you?"

"No I'm good but thanks." She walked off down the hall and found the restroom. She pulled her Blackberry from her pocket and dialed Safaree. He picked up.

"What Nicki?"

"Please don't be out there driving that car crazy."

"Why are you so worried about me? Go get married and stop thinking about me."

"Safaree please, I need you here for me."

"Well I don't see that happening."

"What does that mean?"

"It means I won't be at your wedding. Get the fuck off my phone Nicki." He hung up. She tried calling back but it just rang and eventually it just went straight to voicemail. She broke down crying at the bathroom counter. She heard the door open but couldn't see who it was through her tears.

"Nicki what's wrong." it was Nina. She had Candi, and Lauren with her.

"Where is Safaree?" Candi asked.

"He left. He said he's not coming to my wedding. He hates me."

"He doesn't hate you. What happen between you two?" Nina asked.

"Long story, we'll fill you in later." Lauren said. "Come on Nicki we will take you up to my room so you can get yourself together." Nicki held on to Nina as the made there way upstairs.

Next Day

Nicki still hadn't heard from Safaree which was killing her. She hadn't gotten any sleep at all because she was up worried about him and she was going over her finance book and things weren't adding up. She had all the receipts Carla had given her but things still were off. She was getting pissed because she had never been careless and let her money be unaccounted for. She figured she needed to go further back in the books and see if she made the mistake there. Damon entered her study.

"Baby you haven't been to sleep yet come get in the bed and relax with me."

"I can't, something is wrong and I have to figure it out." Damon looked to see what she was staring at. He panicked.

"Nicki you really need to sleep."

"Damon I said no."

"If it was Safaree telling you to do it you wouldn't protest." She took off her glasses and stared at him.

"Please don't start with 'If it was Safaree' today? I said I'm not going and that's that."

"Damn it Nicki. For once can you just please do what I ask?" he yelled. "Put the book up and go lay down."

Nicki gave up she didn't feel like arguing today. She took her book and walked out leaving him standing there. Damon wanted her to leave the book not take it. He went to go see if she went to the bedroom, when he got in there she was on the phone with Martin.

"No I've gone over and over the records. Everything matches up but my account is $500,000 dollars short Martin."

"Listen Nicki I will take all of your records to an accountant and get this sorted out."

"Martin you know I don't trust them, they might mess up."

"Like you did?" She got quiet. "Listen it can't hurt to have a fresh pair of eyes look at the records. Nicki get some rest."

"Have you heard from Safaree?" She asked.

"No but as soon as I do you will be the first person I call. Now get some rest boss, you get married in two days."

"Alright, call me if the accountant has any questions. And get a Japanese one they're good with numbers." Martin laughed.

"Okay now go to sleep." She hung up and put her book in her nightstand.

Damon watched her as she did everything but lay down. She fiddled with her phone, channel surfed, and got on her laptop.

"So you are just not do what I asked?" he asked annoyed. She didn't even look up.

"You told me to relax and that's what I'm doing. I'm not tired." She said through a yawn.

"Yeah okay." he said sarcastically.

"Damon either get in the bed and lay with me or get out." he sighed and went and got in the bed.

Road To the Wedding Part.2....

*Omg Wasn't Nicki the cutest thing in the Pepsi commercial? Anywho, Here you go you guys. There will be one more Road To the Wedding. I hope you guys enjoy.*


Nicki sat by the window watching the snow that fell last night melt away from the rays of the sun. She woke up to an empty house, Safaree came and picked up the kids for daycare before she awakened. Nicki was left alone with nothing but her thoughts and all she could think about was Safaree. She couldn't stop replaying in her head one thing he he said to her yesterday, "You couldn't have possibly thought I wouldn't catch feelings...", did that mean he does have feelings for me? She thought to herself.

Nicki walked into the kitchen and poured her some more tea, her throat was becoming sore and she could not afford to become sick. She had to much to do and so little time. Nicki went to get ready before the wedding planner got to her house. Today she was to sign off on the flower selection for the reception, the food, and the cake. Nicki wished she didn't have to do this alone but she was playing the hand she was dealt. An hour and a half later Nicki was sitting in her front room with papers surrounding her for her to sign.

"Carla make sure to tell the chef that my chicken better not be dry." Nicki signed off on the menu.

"I will make sure to relay that message. Now we agree on the yellow and white roses?"

"Yes. You still have that credit card I gave you?" Nicki asked.

"Yes and here are your receipts from my previous purchases for you."

"Thank you my darling."

"If there is nothing else to discuss my work here is done."

"Alright, well I'll talk to you later. You know if any problems arise call me no matter the time."

"Yes I know. Goodbye Nicki." Carla let herself out.

Nicki went and poured her a glass of wine. She sat down on the couch with the throw blanket over her legs. Mentally she went over all the things she had to do as far as work. She had to go and work on her fight choreography. The stunt coordinator was convinced to come to her instead of her going to him. She couldn't stomach leaving her children for a whole month. She sipped her wine and let it warm her body. The house phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hi Ms. Maraj?"

"Yes this is her."

"Hi this is Cindy down at Wilson's Daycare." Nicki sat her glass down.

"Hi Cindy. Is everything alright?"

"There was an incident between Zaria and another child in her class. We need you to come and pick her up."

"I'll be there." Nicki hung up the phone. She quickly put on her heels, coat, grabbed her keys and purse. She was out the door within five minutes.

When Nicki pulled up she seen Safaree locking his car. They walked into the school together both wondering what Zaria could have done. Walking into the main office they spotted Zaria sitting in a chair giving another little girl a death glare. When they seen it was Lucy they knew what was up. Nicki heard Karen ranting coming down the hall. Safaree seen that Nicki was getting amped so he moved in between her and the door. Karen came through the door with the principle. She looked at Lucy's shirt and saw the now drying blood and got even more loud. Nicki sat her coat and purse next to Zaria.

"You okay baby?" Nicki asked Zaria never taking her eyes off Karen.

"Yes." Zaria never took her eyes off Lucy.

"Mrs. Riley what happen?" Safaree asked picking up Zaria.

"It seems that Zaria and Lucy had a fight."

"More like your child attacked my poor daughter." Mrs. Dorsy said.

Zaria squirmed in Safaree's arms.

"Don't act like your daughter is so innocent. She's been picking on Zaria for the longest, finally she had enough and did something about it."

Safaree walked up to her and whispered in her ear.

"Calm down." he said.

"Actually the kids say that Lucy was not bothering Zaria." Mrs. Riley

"See! You need to teach your kids some manners and how to behave." Karen spat out.

"She was actually picking on Daria." Mrs. Riley knocked Mrs. Dorsy of her high horse.

"I knew it. My kids don't fight unless they have a reason." Nicki spat lunging towards Karen. Safaree pushed her back.

"It seems Lucy and a group of girls were making fun of Daria's Dyslexia and that's when Zaria jumped on Lucy and repeatedly punched her in the face until she was pulled away by one of the staff. Now we are going to have to send Zaria home for two days."

"What? You see she was provoked." Nicki said getting angry.

"No Daria was provoked. Zaria had nothing to do with what was happening."

"So she's being punished for defending her sister?"

"Violence will not be tolerated here at Wilson's."

"So Lucy will be getting the same punishment we assume?" Safaree asked.

"She will be sent home for the rest of the day and she has to write an apology to Daria."

"Zaria gets suspended but she has to write some Bull-"

"Nicki!" Safaree cut her off.

Nicki put her coat on and grabbed her purse.

"Give me my baby." She took Zaria from him. "Can I go get her things?" she asked walking out of the office not waiting for a reply.

"I'm sorry we had to meet again under these circumstances Mr. Samules." Mrs. Riley said.

"Yeah me too." Safaree walked out the office as well.

He walked down the hall to the kids classroom and seen Nicki talking to Daria and Ethan outside the door.

"Mommy will be back to pick you up at the end of the day."

"I want to go home too mommy." Daria said.

"No baby. You have to stay here and learn some more so you can come home and teach mommy some stuff." Nicki kissed her forehead.

"Daddy can I have a dollar." Ethan walked up to Safaree.

"Why?"

"Cause..." Ethan tried to think of a reason.

"Boy no. You don't need a dollar." He picked him up and turned him upside down. "You been being good?"

"Yes." Ethan giggled.

"Why didn't you help your sister when she was laying hands?"

"I can't hit girls."

"That's right and you better always remember that." Safaree put him down as Mrs. Jones came out of the classroom with work for Zaria to do at home.

"Alright here are her spelling words she needs to know for Friday and some math problems as well." She handed them to Nicki. "Again Ms. Maraj I'm sorry about this."

"Yeah me too." Nicki rolled up the papers and stuck them in her purse. "Alright you two get back to class and make mommy proud."

"Bye mommy, bye daddy." They said as they went back in the room.

Safaree and Nicki walk out with Zaria. Nicki strapped her in her seat and close the door getting in herself. She was beyond mad at this situation.

Baby Daddy
I'll meet you at your house

She didn't respond, just took off towards the highway.

"I'm sorry mommy." She heard some from the back seat. Nicki looked through her rear view mirror.

"Why baby?"

"For fighting." Zaria looked near tears.

"Well Z fighting is never the answer and you know that. You stood up for your sister and there is nothing wrong with that. Don't feel bad baby you're not in trouble." Nicki took the off ramp. Safaree was right behind her.

Opening the door to the house everyone stepped in and stomped the snow off their boots. Zaria sat on the oak bench and took off her boots handing them to Safaree.

"What am I supposed to do with these?" he asked.

"Put them up." She took Nickis hand. "Mommy can we have lunch."

"You didn't eat at school?"

"I was gonna but then Lucy started messing with Daria and I beat her up." Nicki and Safaree started laughing.

"Oh so you beat her up?" Nicki asked sitting Zaria on the stool at the island.

"Yep."

Safaree turned Zaria around and started checking her for scratches or bruises. He stood her up and pulled down her leggings and check her legs.

"Is she okay?" Nicki asked putting the bread on the griddle to make them grilled cheese sandwiches. She had the tomato soup on the stove heating up.

"Yeah she doesn't have any marks." He pulled her leggings back up. "Way to go slugger." He held his hand out and they slapped fives.

"Don't encourage her Safaree, she was wrong for fighting." She said sternly.

"She knows she's not supposed to be fighting." Safaree picked her up by the front of her shirt and put her above him in the air. "You bet not let me hear you've been fighting anymore. You got it?"

"Yes." She said smiling and giggling.

"See she knows." He said looking at Nicki. "You're to pretty to be fighting." He put Zaria down.

Nicki just shook her head and went back to the grilled cheese. Safaree sat next to Zaria and began to talk to her about what she wanted for her birthday next month.

"Z-Bear do you want water or apple juice?"

"Water." she answered then went back to explaining the bike she wanted.

"You know you have to call Nana and Granny and tell them what happened." Nicki said plating a sandwich and pouring soup in a bowl.

Zaria stopped talking and looked at the back of Nicki. When Nicki turned around with her food they locked eyes.

"Can you tell them pwease?" She asked.

"Nope don't start that 'pwease' talk, you can speak correctly and no you have to tell them." Nicki sat her food down and went back to make another plate. "Do you want food?" she yelled out to Safaree.

"Are you going to throw it at me this time?" He asked. Nicki smiled and took him his food sitting it gently in front of him.

"Is that better?"

"Very, thanks." Nicki rolled her eyes at him and went to sit in her study.

Thirty minutes later Safaree had did some math problems with Zaria until she became sleepy. He put her down for a nap and went to go find Nicki. When he stepped in the study he seen her standing by the window crying. He walked up to her and pulled her into his arms. She held him tight.

"Daria will be fine Nicki."

"I told you what would happen. My baby shouldn't have to go through this." she sobbed.

"Everything will be okay, she will beat this. She is already making progress."

"What's going on here? Nicki why are crying?" They both looked at the doorway to see Damon standing there.

"Oh hey babe." Nicki pulled away from Safaree ticking him off. For those few moments his world felt right with her in his arms then Damon brought him back to reality.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, we'll talk about it later." She said. Damon came and hugged her kissing her forehead.

Safaree stormed out of the room.

"What's his problem?" Damon asked.

"I don't know." Nicki lied. They heard the front door slam shut. "I'm going to call Carla and make sure everything is still going smoothly." She kissed him.

"Alright I'm going to the office. We'll talk later okay?"

"Sure." She sat behind her desk and watched him leave out. She pulled out her phone.

Baby Mama
Are you okay?

Baby Daddy
Don't txt me, worry about your future husband.

Baby Mama
:"(

Nicki went and got her Finance book to go over it.

Safaree POV
How could she still want to marry that clown? I'm the one she is supposed to be walking down the aisle to marry. I'm the one that loves her unconditionally and would do anything she wanted and needed.

Safaree's thoughts were going a mile a minute. He speed down the streets in his Lambo going 60 over the limit. He had no particular place he was headed he just wanted to drive and get all his thoughts together. Nicki seemed to be in all his thoughts which only made him more angry.

"Fine if she doesn't want me I won't sit around here sad over her ass. I'm not bad looking I can get anybody I want." Safaree slowed down and pulled out his cellphone. He went through his contacts and ran across a someone he hadn't talked to in awhile. He pushed talk.

Four Days later

Safaree went and picked up Daria after school from Nicki's house. When he got there the kids were doing homework so he had to wait around. Nicki tried talking to him but he just ignored her for the most part. Unless it was about the kids or business he felt they had nothing to talk about. When the kids were done he wrapped Daria up and they left.

"So what so you want to do today?"

"Um I don't know?" she said in a small voice.

Nicki told Safaree that Daria hadn't been her usual self since the incident at the school. She wasn't loud and outspoken like she usually was. She just stayed in her room with her dolls.

"What do you mean you don't? Think about all the stuff you want to do and we will pick one to do." He glanced at her through his rear view mirror. She was looking down at her fingers and sighed.

"Arcade I guess." she said softly.

"Okay then to the arcade we go."

Safaree drove for another 20 minutes or so then pulled into the Wacky Zone parking lot. He unfastened Daria and carried her in.

"So what do you want to play first?"

"Soccer." she said dryly and taking off her coat.

"Let's go get tokens, do you want to put the money in?" they walked over to the token machine.

"No, you can do it." She leaned against his leg.

He looked down at her thinking she was exactly like her mom. Whenever Nicki would have something on her mind she would mope around and be up under him. Well she used to, he thought. He shook his head freeing any thoughts of Nicki and got the tokens for them.

"Okay come on."

Daria played the soccer game the whole time. She worked up a sweat and everything. Safaree took it as her letting out her aggression about what was bothering her. He made her stop only when he noticed her breathing was becoming uneven. He gave her a puff of her inhaler.

"Come on baby girl let's go rest and eat. What do you want?" he asked as they sat down at their table.

"I want the fries with the chili on them."

"You trying to be like daddy now?" he tickled her. When they're waiter came he ordered a large chili fry with cheese and two lemonades. While they waited he figured he would start trying to get her to talk.

"So baby girl mommy says she thinks that you're sad?"

"I am." she laid her head on his side.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he sat her on his lap.

"The kids make fun of me. They call me names."

"Like what?"

"Dumb, stupid, we-tard." he tried not to laugh at her pronunciation of the word.

"Daria you are none of those words. You are very smart baby girl." The waiter came back with their fries. He sat her down so she could eat. "Can I tell you something?" She shook her head yes.

"I have dyslexia too." Safaree confessed.

Daria's eyes grew big when he said it. She chewed her fry fast.

"Really?"

"Yes. The kids used to call me those same names but I didn't let that stop me. I eventually learned how to read really good and you will too."

"But I don't have any friends no more. Nobody likes me, they think I'll give them what I have." She stuck another fry in her mouth.

"You have friends baby. Don't let what they say bother you, you will be reading better than them in no time. And you will be the smartest kid in the class and everyone will try and be your friend. Daddy has dyslexia and I'm pretty cool right?" he asked.

"Yeah." She sipped her lemonade getting chili all over the straw. "You have friends too." she said.

"Yeah  I do huh? So you will have friends. You can't let what the other kids say get to you Daria, remember that."

"Okay daddy." She smiled at him. Daria stood up and hugged him around his neck, kissing his cheek getting chili all on the side of his face. "I love you." She sat back down and continued eating.

"I love you to Daria." He wiped his face with a napkin. "So was that all you were sad about?"

"Yep."

"Alright well when we get done Daddy is going to show you how to play the basketball game okay?"

"Okay daddy."

Safaree was happy he could help her. He knew she would probably get sad again but at least she knew she wasn't the only one with the problem and could talk to him. He felt accomplished with their outing.

Rehearsal Dinner

Nicki and Damon were greeting their guest at the door of the room they rented at the hotel. Most in attendance were apart of the wedding party the rest just family. Nicki was happy to be done with the wedding rehearsal. She just wanted Saturday to come and go with out drama. Everyone seemed happy with everything so she was happy. She looked around and didn't see Safaree. He was at the church but said he had to go get something and would meet the wedding party there. It was about time to start eating and he was nowhere insight.

"You ready to bless the food and start eating?" Damon asked. She peeped out the door one last time and still no Safaree.

"Sure let's do it."

"He'll be here baby don't worry." He kissed her lips. They began to walk to the front when Nicki heard Safaree.

"I know y'all not about to start eating without me?"

Nicki turned around with the biggest smile but it soon vanished when she seen that Safaree had brought a girl with him. It wasn't just some random girl because she wouldn't be fuming mad like she was but Safaree knew she didn't like this girl.

"Shante." Nicki said just above a whisper.

"Hello Nicki." She smiled and waved.

TBC

Nicki was on her way to have the children refitted for their wedding dresses and suit. She had been in full mommy mode lately. Her babies made her forget about the mess she had made of her life. Helping Daria get better at her reading was a task but she was determined to get her baby girl on track. Ethan had been up under her giving her all the love she needed, she loved how they have had a special connection since he was born. He hadn't let her out of his sight in the past couple days. Zaria had been talking her ear off about this wedding. Nicki now knew that Zaria did not approve of the color scheme and thought the icing she picked for the cake tasted funny.

"Mommy do I have to wear a suite like daddy?"

"Yes Ethan, we've been over this already."

"Why can't I just wear a t-shirt and sneakers like daddy?"

"Your daddy is not wearing that." She pulled up to the location. "Hell he might not even be there." she mumbled to herself.

"Mommy do me and Daria have to match?" Zaria asked eating her sucker.

"Yes." Nicki got out the car and retrieved them as well.

"But why mommy?" Daria whined.

"Why don't you want to match your sister?"

"She's ugly." Daria said as they got on the elevator.

"I look just like you." Zaria rolled her neck a bit and Nicki snickered. "So you're ugly too."

"Stop it right now you two. You are wearing the same color so deal with it." Both girls huffed. "Give me that sucker little girl." Nicki took the sucker wrapped it up and took a wipe out to wipe her mouth and hands.

"Aww mommy I didn't get the bubble gum."

"You have more at home to eat."

The elevator doors opened and they walked in to meet with Vera again.

Safaree

Safaree had went to go stay with his mother for a couple of days until he got his head together. He knew his mom would have an answer for whatever he was going through. He still went to go spend time with the kids during their lunch everyday. When he looked at his girls he saw so much of their mother, it was hard to look at them when he was mad at her. To Safaree his kids were his world he just wish he could add Nicki to his permanently.

Safaree knew what he was getting himself into when he started messing around with Nicki again knowing she was taken. He never thought he would fall even more deeply in love with her. Safaree thought he would treat there affair as he did the rest of the women he had messed with since her. But Nicki would never be like the basic women he has dated.

"Safaree get up." His mother  came in his room and snatched back the blinds letting in the rays from the sun.

"Ma no!" Safaree pulled the covers over his head and mumbled something inaudible.

"Yes and I mean now!"

Safaree felt the covers snatched from his possession.

"Why you trippin?" He yelled.

"Safaree Lloyd Samules if you ever live to see another day you bet not ever raise your voice at me again. Have you lost your mind?" She looked at him as if he were that little boy that use to run around getting into things around the neighborhood.

"I'm sorry ma, I didn't mean to disrespect you. What time is it?" He sat on the side of the bed rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Now that's better. It's past noon, you missed the kids lunch today."

"Damn, I'll go see them tomorrow."

"Safaree you need to go see them today. A child should never go a day without seeing there mother or father."

Safaree just huffed.

"Now I don't know what's going on between you and Nicki but you better fix it and fix it quick. You know how she gets when your not around."

"And that's my problem why?" He got up to go start his shower.

"That's the mother of your children not to mention your best friend." She looked at him confused by his actions.

"Well everything is not always about Nicki and what she wants and needs."

"Since when? It's been that way since you two were 13 years old, so why is it changing now?"

"I need to start thinking about me and my kids. Nicki is moving on with her life and it doesn't have me figured in to it." he clenched his jaw. His mother walked to him and placed her hand on his face.

"Baby you still love her, you need to go tell her."

"It doesn't matter now, she made her choice."

"What does that mean "She made her choice"?"

Safaree just moved past her and looked in his duffle for clothes to wear for the day. He couldn't tell his mother about the affair.

"Well I see you have shut down and I'm not going to get anything out of you. Your lunch is downstairs in the microwave." She walked towards the door but Safaree pulled her into a hug before she got to it.

"I love you mama."

"I love you too. Now hurry up and get ready, you need to eat something you look frail." Safaree laughed and let her go.

"Alright ma I'll be down in a few."

Later that night.

Nicki Was making the kids plates for dinner, Zaria said she was craving sloppy joe. What Zaria knew about cravings was beyond Nicki but the others agreed so that's what her babies got. The triplets were in the front room when the doorbell rang.

"Hey you three quiet down in there." Nicki wiped her hands and walked to the front door. She didn't look through the peep hole to check to see who it was she just opened  the door. She was surprised to see who was standing on her front porch. "Hi." was all she managed to get out.

"Are the kids here?" Safaree asked showing he wasn't interested in small talk with her.

"Um yeah, come on in." She moved to the side to let him pass. She watched him disappear into the living room and heard the chipper sounds of the kids greeting their father.

Walking back into the kitchen she tried finding the words to apologize to Safaree for ever proposing the get involved with each other again.

"Mommy, mommy, can daddy stay for dinner?" Ethan was pulling Safaree by the hand into the kitchen.

"Naw E-man mommy probably wants to have time with you guys and Damon."

"Mommy please?" Ethan begged.

"if he doesn't have any plans it's alright if he stays." Nicki said turning around and putting food on Daria's plate.

"See daddy, so are you going to stay?" Ethan looked up at his daddy.

"Alright little man I'll stay."

"Yay." The kids yelled out.

"Go wash your hands ya little devils." Nicki ordered and made a crazy face at them. Daria returned an even crazier one before running off which shocked Nicki into laughter.

When the kids left the room there was an awkward silence between the two while Nicki put the plates on the table. Safaree just leaned against the island watching her, trying to figure out what to say but she beat him to it.

"Safaree I'm sorry." Nicki blurted out. Safaree stared at her for a second.

"Sorry for what?" he crossed his arms.

"For everything that has happened to get us to this point."

"And what point is that?"

"Where we can't even have a conversation that's not about the kids. We haven't spoken in days Safaree, that's not us. If i would have known that arrangement would hurt us as friends like this I would have never offered the idea."

"Yeah it was pretty selfish." Safaree said nonchalantly. Nicki was taken aback by his statement.

"I know, I'm trying to make things right."

I don;t think things can be right at this moment. Let's just get through this and I'll be out of you and Damon's home."

"Safaree please don't do this."

"Do what? What you asked? I'm giving you what you wanted."

"This is not what I wanted Safaree." She walked closer to him.

"You couldn't have possibly thought I wouldn't catch feelings while being intimate with you. You're lying if you say you did. Now we are here and can't go back. You chose Damon. The only thing I care about is my kids at this point." Safaree stopped when he heard the kids coming back so they moved away from each other. Nicki had tears in her eyes but wiped them quickly before the kids seen.

"You ready to eat daddy?" Zaria asked.

"Yeah baby girl, you gonna sit by daddy?"

"Yes." He pulled out her chair so she could sit then did the same for Daria. He always did gentlemen type things for his girls so they would know what they deserved from a man when the time came for them.

Nicki dropped his plate in front of him harder than was needed causing the children to jump.

"You can help your kids clean up after they are finished and put them to bed since you're in such a fatherly mood."

Nicki went around and kissed each of them goodnight then made her way upstairs. She couldn't be in the same space as him right now. She loved him and didn't like the feeling of being rejected by him. She pulled her finance book out to go over them and laid across the bed. Nicki slipped on her glasses but her phone rang before she could get focused.

"Hello."

"Hey baby, what you doin?"

"Nothing just going over the books. Where you at?" She leaned back against her pillows.

"On my way to you, why you going through your books?"

"Gotta make sure everything is going straight and everything is taken care of for the wedding."

"You need to get an accountant for all that stuff. I can get you one if you want, The accountant at my job is a very good one."

"No, I'm good baby."

"Okay suit yourself. Well tonight I got something for you." She could feel him smiling through the phone.

"Oh really? What do you have for me?" She put on her flirty voice.

"I can show you better than I can tell you."

"Well in that case I can't wait then." She giggled.

"Alright, well I'll be with you shortly. Love you."

"Love you too baby." She hung up.

@NICKIMINAJ
*Sigh* It's going to be a Winter Wonderland outside. Z is excited. RT @RosieUKBarbiee: A December Wedding>>>>>>>>

Nicki fell asleep watching her TL speculate about what the wedding is going to look like. She didn't get the chance to put her finance book away.

Damon came walking through the door as Safaree was turning out the lights and headed home. Safaree was cordial but Damon knew something had changed in Safaree's attitude towards him. He would address it on a later date. Damon walked into the bedroom to find a sleeping Nicki sprawled out on the bed. He spotted the book next to her.

"Bingo." He slowly pulled the book from under her arm tucked her in and went to his study for the next several hours.

*Like I said the next couple of chapters will be short. I'm trying to get questions answered before the wedding. Do you feel like everything is clear and understandable so far?

The Body That Loves You...

*Sooooooooo How's it going? OMG Don't you just LOVE Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded? If you don't go choke on a dick! If you haven't gotten the Album go to ----> http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/pink-friday-...-roman-reloaded/id512360310 and buy it! Alright Enjoy my Darlings. Oh and make sure you read my closing comments!*

The wedding was three weeks away and Nicki was more confused than ever. Her and Damon had gotten better and she had started to actually enjoy his company again. He went away with her for the month she had to go train for her movie. He helped her with the wedding plans while away, if she needed him to go take her finances while she was busy he didn't without protest. Then there was Safaree she just couldn't leave him alone, she needed him like the blues needs pain. It seems that month away from him only made her want him even more. When they were together with the kids it just felt right. Nicki knew he would lay down his life for her.

Nicki and Safaree met up with each other at the daycare to exchange the kids things. Nicki gave him Ethan's bag with a change of clothes in it because he was taking him to Ethan's friends house. Safaree brought Zaria's sweater to her. Not 10 minutes in each others presence and they were in the back of Nicki's Range getting busy in the schools parking lot. When it was over Safaree felt used, he told her it was the last time. He was done being her play toy whenever she felt like getting her jollies off. He got in his car and waited for the kids to be let out.

--

Nicki walked into the house from picking up the girls from school, Ethan was going over a friends house for the afternoon. The girls ran into the house and up to their room; Nicki went into the kitchen and was startled when she seen Damon standing in front of the fridge.

"Shit! You scared me." she looked at him.

"Sorry baby." he walked over to her trying to kiss her but she turned her head. "What's wrong with you?" he looked confused.

"I think I'm coming down with a cold." Which wasn't a lie she was coughing lately.

"I don't care babe give me a kiss I've missed you." he leaned in but again was denied.

"I care." she moved around him to put her smart water in the fridge. "How long have you been home?"

"I got in at 12:30. When I didn't see you and the kids i showered and caught up on some sleep." he stood behind her and kissed on her exposed neck. "I will be here for about a week."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back today, i wasn't expecting you until next week?" she slid out of his grasp.

"I wanted to surprise you but it seems like you're just annoyed."

"I'm not annoyed."

"Obviously somethings wrong, you're being short with me." he leaned against the counter waiting for her to say something. "Well, tell me what's wrong."

"I told you nothing, just let it go Damon."

"No something has you upset with me and I don't need you mad."

"I said nothing so it's nothing." she tried walking past him but he grabbed her arm.

"Talk to me."

"Get off me." she tried breaking from his grip already knowing it was a lost cause. "You're hurting me." he let go but blocked her path.

"I didn't mean to hurt you but when you shut me out it makes me angry."

"What do you expect me to do? You are never here."

"Are we back to this again, i thought you got over that?"

"Back? Nigga we never left. I don't feel loved, do you understand that?" she raised her voice.

"Don't feel loved?" he repeated. "I tell you I love you all the time Nicki."

"Telling me and showing me are different."

"This is crazy." he backed up.

"What's up with Lesley?

"What about her?"

"You ever fuck her?" Nicki crossed her arms.

"Nicki you're being childish."

"Childish? There is a female in your room, who might I add I have never heard about nor met before and I'm childish for wanting to know if you slept with her or not?" Nicki said staring at him. "This woman has been around for a month and you have never once said anything about her and you expect me not to ask questions. You have left out of this city on several occasions for business" she did air quotes "in the past month. How am I suppose to react? So again I'm going to ask you one more time, have you cheated on me with this Lesley woman or any other woman since we have been together?" they locked eyes.

"Never once have I cheated on you with Lesley or any other woman Nicki." Nicki continued to stare at him trying to figure out if he was telling the truth but she couldn't get a read on him. "Now it's my turn to speak. You have to realize that I cannot cater to your every need Nicki. I try my best but I'm just one man, I try to be there for you as much as possible. I do love you Nicki, I wouldn't have asked you to marry me if I didn't. You have to trust me."

"I don't know who you are anymore. In these past months I can't name a single time where we have actually sat down and had a deep conversation with one another like we used to. You made time then so what's the problem now?" She waited for a response but he just looked at the floor. "Exactly, so are you sure you want to marry me?"

"Yes I'm sure. Nicki I..." he was cut off by his phone ringing. He picked it up and seen that it was his boss. "It's Mr. Wiseman."

"Answer it, I'm used to coming second." she walked passed him, he grabbed her hand but she snatched away and went upstairs.

"We'll finish this when I'm done." he answered the phone.

Nicki went upstairs to her room closing the door behind her. She picked up the phone to call her mom.

"Hello?"

"Mom i don't know if I can do this." Nicki said sitting on the side of the bed.

"Do what?"

"I don't know if I can marry Damon."

"What happened?"

"He's never here mommy. He makes promises he never keeps. I don't know what to do."

"Baby relationships are hard work. There will be times you can't stand him but you can't just give up because of it. Trials and tribulations are going to always pop up in a relationship no matter if it's with Damon or another you are with. It will never be a smooth ride. Do you still love Damon?"

"Yes mommy I do but he is never sensitive to my feelings. It's like i tell him something and it goes in one ear and out the other."

"Have you told him this."

"Yes on multiple occasions."

"Did you scream at him or did you tell him."

"What's the difference, I still told him."

"There is a big difference, If you screamed of course he wouldn't pay you attention. If you actually sat him down and said listen Damon this is what I need from you and this is how much of it i need. He would be more open to listening. But you yelling only shuts down the effective flow of communication."

Her mom was getting through to Nicki. She realized that when they did have the conversation she was mostly yelling at him. Now she had gone and accused him of cheating.

"You're right mommy. But I think I may have dug myself into a hole."

"What did you do?"

"Well I kind of accused him of sleeping with another woman and having a baby by one."

"Nicki."

"I know but I just have this gut feeling, and it keeps getting stronger and before I knew it i was confessing it to him."

"What did he say?"

"He says he has never slept with another woman."

"If you have no proof then don't bring it back up until you do. that's a very big accusation." Nicki sat and chewed her lip.

"I guess I need to go apologize. He's here for a week and I think I'll be apologizing for most of it."

"Well your mouth has always gotten you into trouble."

"I guess I learn one day."

"Won't be no time soon." Mrs. Maraj said laughing.

"Mommy." Nicki whined.

"It's true. Go and fix it and I will talk to you later."

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you too. Give my grand babies a kiss for me."

"I will and kiss daddy and lambchop for me." They hung up and Nicki went downstairs to find Damon. When she was about to walk out the room he was walking into the room. "Damon--"

"Nicki I'm really trying to make us work but you yelling never makes it easy."

"It's hard not to be mad and yell when you are always at work and never seem to make time for me. You drop everything when your job calls but when I need you you always have an excuse. This week I want to work on us while i have you here for the week." she wrapped her arms around him.

Damon groaned and sighed.

"What was that for?" Nicki asked looking up at him.

"I have to leave in a hour for a meeting."

Nicki dropped her arms.

"Let me guess, in Kentucky right?" She went back upstairs.

"Babe? I'll try to be back as soon as possible." he yelled.

He was meet with her door slamming shut.

Later that Night

Damon had to go check on the factory in Kentucky so once again she was left alone. She was pissed but that seemed to be her attitude lately. Nicki wondered what Safaree was up to, she called him.

Safaree was hanging out with his boys playing cards and drinking. He was unwinding from the hectic week he just had with Nicki. They had made appearances everyday this week on, radio shows, TV shows, she even did Watch What Happened to discuss the Real Housewives of Atlanta. That go a little messy because she got a tipsy on the show and start letting out too much of how she felt about the ladies.

It felt good to relax and not have to worry about running around and meeting Nicki's every demand. And he was also starting to feel bad because every spare moment they got he was buried deep inside knowing she wasn't a single woman. He didn't know what it was but he just couldn't get enough of her. It reminded him of when they were together. He was deep in thought when his phone went off, he saw it was Nicki.

"Hey, is something wrong with the kids?" he asked automatically. 

"No calm down they are fine. They went with auntie Candi for the night."

"Oh okay."

"What are you doing?" she had her legs up against the head board.

"With Rex and them, why you need me to bring you something?" he got up from the table  and went into another room, the music was to loud for him to hear.

"Define what you are willing to bring me." she said in a sultry voice. Safaree seen where this was headed and knew he had to stop it before it went to far.

"Nicki where is your fiancee?" he asked in a whisper.

"He just had an emergency conference he had to go to in Kentucky or I don't know, so he is somewhere in the sky. Come over and have fun with me daddy." she said in her pouty voice.

"No you have a man." he went back into the room and sat down watching the men play Spades, he wasn't trying to hear her tonight.

"Do you have your earphones with you?" she scooted away from the head board.

"Yeah why?"

"Plug them up to your phone."

"I don't have the ones with the mic, so you won't be able to hear me." he put some chips in his mouth.

"Just do it." 


Safaree sighed digging in his pocket for his ear bud Beats by Dre earphones, he plugged them in. 


"Safaree?" When he didn't answer she knew they were in.

Nicki had taken off her sweats. leaving her in nothing but her red lace thong and matching bra.

"Faree i wish you were hear with me right now. Holding me, among other things." Safaree knew he was slowly losing this battle. "Don't you want to touch me Safaree?" she was rubbing all over her body wishing they were Safaree's hands. "Come to me Safaree." he voice was dripping with lust. He thought about all the wicked things she could do with that tongue of hers. Nickis phone buzzed.

Safaree
No Nicki. I told you last time was it for us. STOP!

As quickly as she read the text she forgot it. "Now Safaree your not going to leave me hot, wet, and horny now are you?" she slipped two fingers into her center folds and began pleasuring herself. A moan escaped her lips which made Safaree shift in his seat. He looked around making sure no one was paying attention to him, they weren't.

"Mmmm Safaree." Nicki was laying it on thick. She wanted him and if she had to pull out the big guns she would.

Safaree
Stop Nicki, I'm around people.

"All the more reason to come see me, so I can help take care...Ooooo...that bulge in your pants." he looked down as he felt his pants getting tighter. He turned his attention back to her.

Nicki had dropped the phone next to her head and concentrated on her. She was working herself into a frenzy on her bed.

"Ahhh...Safaree." she moaned. "Ssss...." he could tell she quickened her pace by her breathing. "Mmmmmm...I...I need you Faree." he heard her cry out his name, then silence. Minutes later he heard movement on the other end. "I can go another three rounds are you going to make me go them alone?"

"Alright niggas, I'll catch y'all later." he jumped up from his seat.

"Where you goin?" Rex asked.

"I got business to take care of."

"At one in the morning?"

"Mind your business. Stay icy coons." Safaree text Nicki on his way out the door.

Safaree
I'll be over in 20. I'm not going easy on you this time either. ;)

Nicki
I'm starting round 2. Use your key.

Safaree hopped in his Bentley and took off hoping to make it by round three. "Damn she a freak." he said smiling.

After

"I've missed having your body whenever I want." Nicki was still straddling SB, kissing various spots on his chest.

Safaree just laid there staring off into space. He never thought he would be sleeping with another mans woman, this was truly a first.

"Why you acting like this?" he turned looking into her grey eyes, she was scowling.

"Acting like what?"

"Like you don't want to be here with me." Nicki pushed off him and got out of the bed with the comforter wrapped around her body. She headed to the bathroom. Safaree wrapped the sheet around his waist and followed her.

"Nicki what are  you talking about, did I not just spend the last two hours sexing you the way asked me too?" he was confused where her attitude was coming from.

"You used to hold me and tell me you loved me after we made love." she stared at him through the mirror.

That was before you were someone else's girl he thought. "What do you want from me Nicki? I'm doing what we agreed to when we first started this. No strings attached, no emotions, just sex, remember?" he felt like an asshole saying that to her knowing how he felt about her, but this was what she wanted.

"Are you telling me us being together these past couple of months has meant absolutely nothing to you?" I shouldn't have asked that she thought.

He'd be lying if he said 'no' so he just said nothing at all. if she wanted him she would have to say the words or better yet she would have to call off her wedding to Damon.

"Wow silence...um...wow okay." she started fidgeting. How could I be so stupid he dropped me back then so why would he want me now. Especially after seeing I'm a cheater. "I'm going to shower, you can let yourself out." She nudged him out the bathroom.

"Nic--"

"No Safaree, I get it. Please just go." She was tearing up.

"I didn't mea--"

"I'm a big girl Safaree. I asked for this and i can deal with the consequences." He reached for her but she closed the door quickly.

Nicki walked to the mirror and stared at the woman staring back. "You will not cry. You made the rules so deal. You caught feelings, so it's your problem not his... then why do I feel so betrayed?" Nicki walked dropping the comforter and turned on the shower waiting for it to get to the right temperature, she stepped in. "Why can't you just keep your emotions to yourself?" she thought. "Because I still love him." she finally confessed above a whisper to herself. Her tears spilled over onto her cheeks. "FUCK!" she screamed sliding down the shower wall. With the water beating against her body Nicki sat and held herself as she sobbed.


Safaree POV

"Shit." he thought. He didn't mean to hurt her, be he didn't want to put his feelings out there to be rejected. If he could redo the past five minutes he would.

Safaree listened from his side of the door as he heard her mumble something then the shower started up. Minutes passed and he heard her sobs, his heart ached listening to her. He jiggled the handle already knowing it was locked. Safaree knew she wouldn't open the door nor would she come out if she knew he was still there. He gathered his clothes and left the room.

Half an hour later Nicki had pulled herself together enough to stand. She showered quickly trying to get back to her bed. Wrapping herself and hair in her towel she went to find clothes. Looking at the bed when she came out she noticed the linen had been switched.

Nicki was sitting on the bed thinking to herself when Safaree came into the room. She thought he had left. Nicki wiped the tears from her face.

"Listen I didn't mean too hurt you." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Just like a nigga." She rolled her eyes. "These tears aren't for you, there for me. Why are you still here?" She got under her covers.

"I needed to make sure you were okay."

"I'm fine now leave."

"Don't be like that." he sat on the side of the bed. Safaree reached out to touch her cheek but she batted his hand away quickly.

"Do not touch  me."

"I heard you crying in the shower, do you want to talk about it?"

"No I don't want to talk about it Safaree. Now leave." he was getting pissed at how cold she was acting towards him.

"You practically begged me to come over here now you acting like I ain't shit!" he raised his voice which made her sit up in the bed.

"That's because you not shit." she pushed his head with a great force. "Get the fuck out." She hit him again. "Safaree get out." she coldly stated. Nicki began slapping and punching him in his face while tears streamed down his face. "I hate you Safaree. I hate you!" Safaree grabbed her arms trying to take control of the situation.

"Calm down."

"Get off me!" she tried pulling away but he just held her close to his body. He wished he could hold her like this when she was calm but the issue still remained that she belonged to another. Even now looking at her left ring finger and seeing the ring he didn't put there tore at him. Safaree noticed she had stopped fighting him and now clung to his body. She was again crying.

"Why do I continuously want what I can't have Faree?" It's like I never learn then end up heartbroken and confused." Nicki confessed. "I'm such a basket case, I don't blame you for not wanting me." she lifted from his embrace. "I'll be fine, you can go." Nicki felt like a fool and was embarrassed he had seen her act this way. "And don't worry this was the last time I'll call you for anything like this. From here on out it is strictly professional between us. Neither of us need this headache."

Safaree got up from the bed. He wanted to know what she was planning to do about the wedding. "So what about Damon?"

"I'm going to marry him and live my life."

"Do you love him?"

"I'll learn too. My kids love him and that's who I need to be thinking about." If she was going to completely get over Safaree she had to learn to look at him as nothing more than a friend like she used too. Nicki looked up at him and noticed he was clenching his jaw.

"Fine." he turned and swiftly left the room then eventually the house. Nicki watched from her window as he pulled off into the into the night, she watched until she could no longer see his tail lights.

Nicki went into the girls room for no particular reason. She noticed that Daria had left Tubsie her stuffed Rabbit. She knew Candi was having a time getting her to go to sleep. She would take it to her tomorrow. She turned out all the lights and climbed into the bed letting the worries of the day go and fell asleep.



One week Before the wedding


Nicki pulled up her laptop to see what the barbz were doing. She didn't want them to see her so she didn't tweet anything she just read her TL. She saw people talking about "onikafaree" and "dricki" this normally didn't annoy her, but the fact that she was so confused but felt that Safaree was the one she really wanted, she got emotional over the barbz talking about it. She decided to tweet.  


@NICKIMINAJ: Tired of hiding my feelings. 


The tl went crazy. Nicki was tired and decided to call it a night. She laid her phone on her nightstand and climbed into bed. Just as her phone started going off Damon walked in. 


"Babe you going to sleep already?" Damon asked sitting on his side of the bed.


Nicki quickly turned her volume on her phone down and said "I have to get up really early and I don't want to wake you." 


He didn't think much of it. "OK babe." 


"Goodnight." 


"I love you Nicki." 


Nicki almost choked before saying it back... "I love you too Damon." she remembered that her phone had rung. She picked it up. 


@SCAFFBEEZY: Come home. 


She cried silently after reading this. She wanted to come home. She wanted to be with her kids and live with Safaree. She just wasn't ready to admit it to him or anybody.


"I'm going down to the studio to write, don't wait up for me." She left the room quickly.

She cued up everything and started playing the beats that different producers had given her. Before she zoned out completely she tweeted one last time.

@NICKIMINAJ
Emotionally: I'm Done. Mentally: I'm drained. Spiritually: I'm Dead. Physically: I smile.
