Touchy, Touchy....

*It's been a month...wow! I'm sorry my darlings. I've been trying to get myself together in school and other things so i had to let go of the story for awhile, I hope you understand. *sigh* I hope you enjoy.*


Nicki woke up and was on a mission, she needed to find out who this Lesley chick was and was she a threat to her. She grabbed her phone and headed down to her study to call Phil. Nicki knew that they had been best friends since college but she was going to try her best to get it out of him. She dialed out and he picked up on the second ring.

"How is my beautiful soon to be sister-in-law?"

"She's doing fabulous, how about yourself?"

"I can't do to much complaining. Is that knuckle head Damon treating you okay?" this was her chance.

"Phil will you be honest with me?" she put on her vulnerable voice.

"I've never lied to you before so why would I lie now, what's wrong?" he sounded concerned.

"Is Damon cheating on me with his assistant?" the phone got quiet. She bit her lip and folded her legs up into the chair waiting on a response.

"No Nicki he is not cheating on you with her."

"Is it another woman?"

"No Nicki. Sis you have to stop stressing, you are the best woman he has ever had. He does not want another."

She sighed hearing the news but still feeling uneasy. She believed Phil was being honest but the feeling she thought would go away hadn't.

"Okay bro, well I have to go now."

"Oh so you just use me for information and get then get off the phone? I knew you didn't love me."

Nicki giggled.

"No it's not like that. I really do have things to do. Me and Safaree have to take the kids to the zoo. Ethan wants to go as a family even though they went a couple months back with Wilson's."

"My main man is running the house, that's what I like to hear."

"Shut up Phil, I gotta go. Thank you for answering my questions, I love you."

"Love you to sis, bye." he hung up.

Nicki sat for awhile in a trance trying to figure out her next move but was interrupted by Safaree plopping down on the couch next to her in the study.

"You could at least announce yourself." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Since when have ever done that? The kids ready?"

"Don't get comfortable like we don't have boundaries, and yes they're ready." Nicki got up from the couch.

Safaree got up and grabbed her by the waist and kissed the back of her neck, she pulled away.

"Damon is still in the house, are you crazy?" she whispered.

"You smell good Nic." he pulled her back to him and kissed her lips.

She fought him for as long as she could before she gave in, his lips felt amazing against hers. Nicki drew him as close as possible to her until she heard foot steps and pushed away trying to fix her clothes. Damon popped his head in the door.

"Hey babe...Oh hey Safaree, I didn't know you were here."

"Yeah I just got here." Safarees gaze never left Nicki, she was fiddling with her necklace.

"What did you need babe?" Nicki asked trying to get the two men out of the same room.

"I needed to know where you put my dry cleaning."

"In the hall closet and your new shoes are in there as well."

"Thanks." He pecked her lips. Safaree gave him a disgusted look as he watched Damon walked out the room. Nicki noticed.

"Safaree don't start that jealousy crap okay." she said in a hushed tone, not sure of how far Damon had gone.

"I'm not jealous of him, I know what I got." he said in a cocky tone.

"Know? You know what I let you think, okay. Like I said don't get comfortable, that stunt you just pulled was not cute." She looked at him and then walked out pissed off and horny as hell.

Damon's Office

Damon had a lot on his mind lately, he was trying to get his career back on track. If he could do that then he wouldn't have to go through with his plan. He was sitting at his desk in deep thought when Lesley came into his office.

"Boss man here are the papers Mr. Wiseman needs you to sign off on." She sat the papers on his desk in front of him. Then walked to go straighten up his table.

Damon watched her move about the room. He looked at her toned arms and could tell she hit the gym on a regular. He looked at her legs then moved up to her thighs, which weren't visible but could tell she was a thick chick.

"Damon!" he heard her yell and snapped him out of his observation.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" he looked up at her face.

"I said Sign the papers so I can give them back to him. We don't have time to waist, we have three factories down and your name on the line. By the way the guy's in California said their checks never arrived, I assured them that you had sent them off and it was probably the postal service." she said as a statement but was looking for him to confirm what she said.

Damon nodded his head and signed the papers, handing them back.

"I need you to get Keith on the phone and tell him to be ready to explain how this mess happened."

"Yes sir." Lesley left as swiftly as she had came.

Damon sat going over the new numbers when his private line rang, he figured it was Nicki just checking on him since he forgot to text her that he had made it to work. He ignored the call telling himself he would get to her later. Minutes later his iPhone buzzed, alerting him of a text message. He picked it up.

550-403-2012
So your not answering my calls now?

Damon didn't recognize the number.

M.L.
Who is this?

550-403-2012
Just know you have a month to get it together or I'm spilling your secret to the Barbie.

M.L.
I told you I would get what we needed, now stop harassing me about it.

Damon blocked the number because he knew the person wouldn't let him have a moments piece today if he didn't. He knew he had to find away to get what they wanted and fast.

@ the Zoo

Nicki had on her baseball cap with her ponytail pulled through the back. She wasn't decked out in anything crazy today, she sported some jeans, a purple v-neck, a black jacket with her white sneakers. She prayed no one spotted her because she wanted her kids to have a normal outing with their parents without people swarming them. She loved her fans but at times they could be a bit much.

"Mommy can we go see the polar bears and the bird that waddles?" Zaria asked eating her blue snow cone.

Nicki laughed at her request.

"It's called a penguin Zaria." Nicki wiped her daughters mouth. "Sure we can."

"And then can we go see the lions." Daria asked.

"We can go see anything you guys want too. So right now we are going to go see the polar bears." She looked up to see some girl all in Safaree's face. She got mad quickly, this was family day and he was giving his kool-aid smile to some other girl. "Safaree!" she yelled. His head whipped around.

"Who is that, your girl?" The girl nodded towards Nicki.

"No that's my baby mama, we are doing family day. Well it was nice meeting you Ashley, I have to go." Safaree walked away and back to Nicki.

Nicki glared at him and yanked Ethan and Zaria a little harder than she meant too. Safaree looked down at Daria.

"What's her problem?" he asked her, Daria just shrugged her shoulders.

Safaree grabbed her small hand and followed behind Nicki into the polar bear cave. It got dark in the cave until they arrived at the glass case that enclosed the polar bears as they swam underwater. Zaria ran up to the glass and watched the white bears swim around.

"Mommy look at the baby bear."

"I see baby." Nicki smiled seeing the enjoyment in her daughters face.

"Can we buy one?"

"Sure." Safaree answered walking up next to Nicki. She turned and glared at him once again.

"Really?" Zaria turned to him with wide eyes.

"No!" Nicki said. "They are too dangerous Zee."

"Mines won't be I promise." She put on her best pout face.

"No baby girl I was just joking. Besides mommy can't afford a polar bear."

"Mommy can buy anything, she will just put it on her card." Daria stated, looking at her dad like he was crazy.

Both Safaree and Nicki busted out laughing at her comment and her expression.

"Yo she looked at you like you had two heads." Nicki giggled. "Don't ever come for the kid." she punched him.

"What I tell you about hitting me?" he grabbed her wrist playfully.

"Get off me, go touch on your little friend back there."

"You jealous?"

"No." she walked away.

"Yes you are." he said under his breath and followed her and the kids out of the cave.

It was beginning to get chilly out side so she mad the kids put on there jackets. Than ran to go look at the penguins. Safaree walked up to her and grabbed her hand, she panicked and jerked her hand away quickly. She looked around to make sure no one seen.

"Calm down there is hardly anyone here besides old people." He grabbed her hand again. "So what's up with you and Damon? Is he still pulling the disappearing act on you?"

Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Why do you care? That does not affect you, I'm giving you what you want."

"And what is it you think I want?"

They stared at each other.

"All you want from me is--"

"Mommy it's time to go see the lions." Daria said cutting Nicki off and pulling at her other hand.

"Okay baby let's go." She dropped Safaree's hand. "Ethan you and Zaria grab daddies hand."

"I'm a big boy, I don't need to hold his hand."

"Boy if you don't grab his hand." Nicki gave him the look and he booked it over to Safaree.

"How you gone let her punk you playboy?" Safaree laughed. "Don't worry she still gets me at time with that face.

"Daddy I want to go to the petting zoo." Ethan said.

Safaree was always amazed at Ethan and his choices. He was such a gentle child when it came to everything. Safaree wrestled with Daria more than Ethan. But he didn't mind his sons gentle soul, he knew too many dudes from his old neighborhood that got caught up in the streets trying to be hard. If his son wanted to pet a baby goat then that's what he would take him to do.

"You got it coon."

--

Safaree was driving back to his house from the zoo. He was trying to figure out what Nicki was texting about that had her giggling and smiling. When he asked her on the way to the car she just smirked at him and continued her text message. Safaree had the feeling she was texting Damon and that had him agitated.

"What are you--"

"Mommy can we go to the Sugar Factory?" Zaria cut Safaree off before he could get his question out.

"Sure Z-Bear." She answered not looking up from her phone.

Safaree shook his head  and pulled into the parking lot of the Sugar Factory. He didn't see how she got mad at him for talking to someone but she has all her attention on her phone during "Family Time". He stop the car with a jerk sending her phone flying to the ground.

Nicki put her hand out to stop fro hitting her head on the dashboard. The kids were fine because they were in there seats strapped in. Nicki once again glared at him. Safaree smiled.

"Sorry." he got out the car and  began unstrapping Ethan.

Nicki got out and slammed his door shut,, she helped him get the other two out and they entered the store. The kids knew the routine, they had 20 minutes to go down each aisle and fill as many bags as they could with what ever candy they wanted. The Sugar Factory was an actual factory full of assorted candies, the kids never made it through all the aisles. They grabbed a couple of bags.

"1,2,3...go!" Safaree yelled and the kids darted different ways.

There were workers all over so they would have help. Nicki grabbed a bag and strolled down one of the aisle glancing over the candy. Safaree walked up beside her.

"So you mad at me?"

"I sure am not." She grabbed some gummy worms, putting one in her mouth.

"Yes you are." he bumped her slightly.

"No I'm not Safaree, now gone."

"I'm just trying to figure out why." he stated ignoring her. "You started acting funky right before we went to the polar bears at the zoo." he scratched his head then snapped his fingers. "That's it, you're jealous."

Nicki's jaw dropped.

"Jealous of what?"

"Of the girl I was talking to."

"Boy please nobody is jealous of some ratchet hoe named Ashley."

She looked around checking to see where the triplets were. Ethan was hand in hand with a white girl that worked at the store. Nicki laughed because she could see her son had a thing for white girls, not that she mind as long as the girl treated her baby well she didn't care who he ended up with.

"Oh so you remember her name?" Safaree found this funny because he didn't.

"Listen all I know is if you decide to start bedding other girls please let me know because that will be the end of our little arrangement." She walked to the back of the store with Safaree on her heels.

There wasn't anyone around in the section they were in. Safaree turned Nicki around and held her by waist.

"Are you still having sex with him?" Safaree questioned.

Nicki looked away.

"Answer my question Nicki. Are you still fucking Damon?"

"What business of it is yours?"

"You will always be my business Onika, now answer the question." he tightened his grip on her waist.

"No Safaree. I don't have sex with him anymore." she said in a hush tone.

"Are you lying to me?" they locked eyes.

"I don't have to lie to you, if I was sexing him I would tell you because I would want the same courtesy."

Safaree pecked her lips and let her go.

"Mommy is this to much?" Zaria came up to them with five bags full of candy.

"No it's not to much but you're done. Let's go up to the register and wait for your brother and sister to finish up." She looked up to Safaree. "Are we done here?"

"Are you still mad?" he asked.

"I was never mad, she didn't have a thing on  me." Nicki walked away with all the confidence in the world.

Safaree's House

After the Sugar factory Safaree stopped by the story to get groceries for his house. He was going to cook dinner for the kids and Nicki. He had the macaroni & cheese and barbecue baked chicken in the oven and the greens soaking in the sink waiting to be picked.

"Nic." Safaree whispered her name while she was bent over putting the grapes in the fruit drawer of the fridge. She flipped her hair and stared back at him.

"What? And why are we whispering?" she stood up.

Safaree nodded for her to come to him; she placed the bag of oranges on the counter and walked up in front of him.

"What?" She asked again.

Safaree encircled her waist and began kissing her on her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and to engage in a more passionate kiss. Safaree gripped her ass making her more excited. He heard the kids running around upstairs and broke the kiss.

"Come on." he lead her around the corner and to the back of the house where the laundry room was. He pulled her in and closed the door pinning her to it.

"You can't take to long okay." Nicki her hands over his chest.

"Shh." he he ran his tongue over her bottom lip before kissing her fully again.

"I'm serious Safaree." she said in between kisses.

Safaree ripped her blouse open exposing her leopard bra. He kissed the side of her neck trailing down to her full breast. He picked her up and put her on the washing machine that was currently on the spin cycle. Safaree watched her breast shake back and forth before eventually removing the bra.

"Safaree hurry."

"I'm not rushing this so chill. The kids will be fine." he never looked up at her, just continued to fondle her breast. He teased her nipples with his thumb and index finger making her inhale deeply. He kissed her collar bone listening to her pant.

"Safaree stop playing."  she went for his belt buckle but he knocked her hand away.

"You'll get that when I'm ready for you to have it." Safaree rolled her skirt up over her hips and leaned her back.

Nicki new what time it was and was ready to take all he was about to give. After removing her undies he began to orally please her. She rocked her hips to the rhythm of his tongue.

"Right there." she mumbled. She knew he was able to get her to her climax within minutes, so she didn't understand why it hadn't happened yet, she should be working on number two. Nicki looked down at him to find him staring back. "What are you doing down there? Stop playing games."

"Why didn't you say you wanted that?" he smirked.

Nicki clamped her legs around his head trapping him with his face buried in her sweet spot. He pried her legs open.

"Stop playing." he bit her thigh.

"Safaree no! That's going to leave a mark, what am I supposed to tell Damon?" He shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating.

--

Nicki walked into her house with the kids moving at a snail pace behind her. Her and Safaree tired them out at his house after they tired out in the laundry room or until Ethan came and knocked on the door looking for his Tarzan movie.

"Come on slow pokes up to bed, you can take your baths in the morning."

"Mommy can I have some water?" Zaria asked.

"Yes I'll bring you some up, go put on your pajamas."

Nicki went and checked her messages in the kitchen and sort through her mail that Damon left on the counter. Nothing important but she did have a envelope addressed to her that didn't look business related. Damon came into the kitchen and looked at her funny so she gave him a funky face back while listening to the last message. She deleted the message from her mom asking her to call and check on her little brother.

"What you looking at?"

"Who's clothes are  you wearing?"

Nicki looked down and saw that she was wearing Safarees sweats and shirt. She couldn't wear her shirt because he had ripped the buttons off of it so she grabbed one of his clean shirts out of the dryer along with his sweats.

"Oh I spilled juice all over my outfit at Safarees house, so I stole some of his clothes." She went and grabbed a cup to give Zaria her water.

"Oh oh okay. So did you think anymore on that proposal.?"

Nicki sighed and put the water back into the fridge then turned around to look at him.

"Babe I told you give me a minute, I've been with my family all day. Besides I'm going to need you to actually put a portfolio together before I agree to do anything." Nicki walked out the kitchen to go tend to the children.

"Damn." he said under his breath. He had to think of a different approach, he couldn't let his secrete go public.
