#9:
You Da One: Proving a Point
It's
been a week or so since Drake left to go back on tour after
his....visit. I still haven't figured out a way to show him that I
really did love him. I honestly didn't know how he wanted me to do
that. You would think out of all the times we have talked I'd be able
to pull something out my ass, with all the tricks for this, but my
mind had completely drawn a blank. Luckily, I had asked Lauren and
Candi to come over to help me with this issue. We had decided that
this event required a girls night.
I had finished
setting out the snacks and setting up the movies for us. I was now
gathering blankets and pillows from around the house to place in the
living room that was already cleaned because of previous events that
had occurred. I blushed at the thought as buzz/ring echoed around the
house. I walked to my monitor and smiled down at my friends who stood
impatiently waiting for me to buzz them in. I clicked the button
calling into the mic for them to come in.
“About time you
let us in. Were you TRYING to get us jumped by paparazzi out there?!
You know they crazy, Nicki!” Candi scolded at me following Lauren
as they made their way into the living room. I chuckled rolling my
eyes as I said “Well, hello to you too, love” Candi smiled at me cheesily as she set down her things and opened her arms to hug me.
“Hi, boo!” She cooed at me as I hugged her back letting a smile
grace my face. I gave Lauren a hug as well as she cheesed quietly
taking a seat. “What's up with you, Lauren” I said looking at her
curiously. “Oh nothing, I'm just waiting for Candi to jump down
your throat with questions since I already know” she stated
smirking. “Whoa, pauz that jump, boo” I said taking a seat on the
floor; grabbing blanket as I sat” “YES! Tell me what the hell
happened! How the hell did Drake end up going down on you!!??!?!
I
thought that nigga was still mad!” Candi started as she grabbed
some snacks and looked at me as she got comfortable on the couch. I
chuckled as I started explaining in very vivid details that even has
Lauren listening intently. I blushed continuing replaying the events
that had happened not to long ago.
“Are you
serious, Nicki?!” Candi asked eyes wide as I wrapped up the ending
of my story. I chuckled, nodding as I grabbed at some of the snacks
on the table. “Dead ass” I said. “Drake though?” I nodded
again tossing some of the snack I had grabbed into my mouth. “Baby
boy?” I looked at her dazed expression. “Canada ball!” I
shrugged letting my dimples show momentarily. “The lone moose?!”
Lauren and I gave each other weird looks before busting into
laughter. “Really Candi? You are doing THE MOST.” I stated
shaking my head with a grin. “But Maple hood?!” “Okay, now
you're just being mad dumb” I said rolling my eyes. She turned
giving me a look. “Does Drake have a brother?” I rolled my eyes
chucking some of the popcorn I had selected from the snacks at her
head. “Shut up.” I stated amusedly. Candi knew the answer to that
and now she was just being extra. Lauren tried terribly to hold back
a laugh at Candi's expression. “Heffa....you did not just-” I
chucked a few more pieces of popcorn at her interrupting her sentence
as I smirked. A few second past before a loud screech left my throat
as Candi tackled me, jumping from the couch. “Oh my goshhh!” I
laughed trying to fight her off of me. Candi fake punched me and
started tickling me. “GET OFF ME YOU RAPIST!” I called out
laughing hysterically. “It ain't rape if you like itttt!” She
yelled into the air as she started moving her hips. “AHH! GET OFF
ME! LAUREN, HELP!” I called out. “Sorry, babe, you're on your own”
Lauren said smirking as she tossed a Cheetos at my face. “Alright!
I gotchu, Lauren! I see you!” I said flinching momentarily before trying to shove Candi off me again.
When I finally
got her off we all laughed smiling as Candi sat next beside me on the
floor. “SO!” Candi started not missing a beat of silence, “Who
has a plan?” She looked around at us as me and Lauren looked at
each other with a shrug. Candi's face fell unamused. “Are you
serious, guys? Nothing?!” She shook her head as she pulled out her
iphone and went to her notepad. “Alright...let's start with naming
this plan....hmmmm” She began to silently type and smiled.
“Perfect.” I gave her a questioning look as she motioned me to
look at her phone. “Plan: Get the Zick? Really, Candi?” I said
giving her a look. “You're so extra....”
“You
won't be saying dat when you gets zi zickkkk” she said in a
sing-songy voice. I
chuckled as Lauren shook her head amusedly. “AND! I have the
perfect thing for you to do!” Candi continued smirking at me. I
gave her a slight weary look as something sparked in her eyes.
“Candi....” “It's nothing crazy! Promise!” She cheesed at me
and I looked at Lauren. She shrugged at me stating, “She's the only
one with an idea”. Getting her point I looked back at Candi,
“Whatcha got?”.
_______________
Since we had
finalized the plan, I was invited to participate in the YM appearance
at Drake's last show of his tour here in LA. It went really well but
his presence had me girlish and shy the entire night on a noticeable
level that had raised many eyebrows in YM fam. Luckily, I had made it
through the concert and even back to my hotel without someone
verbally questioning the sexual tension that lingered between Drake
and I, considering our playfulness was usually viewed that way
anyway.
I was now getting
ready for a party for Drake featuring Young Money to celebrate
the ending to another successful tour (even though it was mini). I
reapplied my lipstick one more time before heading the the living
room of the hotel where SB was waiting. “Damn, Nic, dressed to
kill, huh?” He asked with a knowing smirk. I hid my blush as I
scowled at him and his smirking figure. “Shut up, Safaree.” I stated grabbed my jacket from the closet near the door. Safaree chuckled
following behind me but headed towards the front door. He opened it
motioning me out first as I placed my jacket on my figure and grabbed
my purse waiting for me on the side table. “Thank you” I stated
walking out first to meet my bodyguard guarding outside the door.
“You ready?” He asked his voice baritone. “I'm out here ain't
I?” He nodded not saying anything. “Step your dick up, nigga” I
said jokingly as he began to lead the way to the car garage, where
are ride was waiting to take us to the mansion Drake had rented out.
As we walked in
we were met by loud music and the screams/chatters of the crowd on
the ground floor. I took the backdoor to the stairs and went up to
the second level where the rest of Young Money was hanging out at. I
smiled as Safaree opened the door and I was met with familiar
faces.
“Hey guys!” I
said excitedly as I went around hugging everyone. “Damn Nicki, you
looking good, girl! You trynna get you some tonight, huh?”
T-Streetz asked as I hugged him. “Shut up, T. Boy I always look good” I said laughing with a smirk. As I got closer to the end of my hug line, I saw quite a charming young man sipping White wine spritzer, leaning on the side banister.
“Hey Nic”
He said smirking, letting his eyes trail me slowly. I bit my lip as a
set of chills ran down my body, making my eyes flutter and darken, even behind my colored contacts. His smirk widened as he
noticed my involuntary reaction. “Hey Drizzy...” I said in a
small voice holding back a blush as I watched him lick his lips.
“What no hug for me?” he questioned opening his arms, after
setting his drink down at a table near the corner of the banister. I scrunched my face "Naw, you good." I stated joking with a smile before stepping into his arms and letting myself be engulfed
in his scent and presence. His body heat meshed with mine as I let my head rest on his chest. He brought his lips against my hair lightly. He leaned down to my ear letting his fingers grip my sides
as I tried to pull away.
“You look good enough to eat” He stated
lowly before pulling away from me. My voice had hitched in my throat
and I gulped as I shifted myself leaving his embrace. “You don't
look to bad either, Drizzy Drake” I said letting his name roll off
my tongue with a seductive edge that I had been forgetting I had lately.
I needed to step
my my cookies up, evidently, because I had been letting him get away
with a lot and everyone knows that Nicki is the boss and I was
definitely going to remind him that all in due time.
_____________
I happily fell
onto my bed at 4 am, fresh from the party. The night had ended well
and had even given me the chance to ask Drake to dinner tonight which he had cheekily said yes to. After he accepted my invitation, we, as usual, were inseparable but even more so if that was even possible. We spent
the whole night talking and whispering towards each other until I had
decided that it was time to turn it. He, of course, protested to the
idea but after I reminded him of our date tonight and he decided that it
would okay if I was gone from him for a few hours. I, intern, gave him a smart-alec comment before kissing his cheek and saying goodbye to
my Young Money family.
Now that I was
home I was determined to get some sleep before having to call the
girls to get the plan going for tonight. We had a few errands to run
for set up which would be at my house.
______________
15 hrs.
=
7 hrs of sleep
+
3 hrs of shopping
+
2hrs of setting up
That left me
three hours to get ready. To say I was nervous...would be an
understatement. I made Candi and Lauren stay in the living room while
I was showering. I was now standing in my fogged mirror with a towel
wrapped around my body. I tilted my head at my reflection before
heading back into my bedroom where the outfit I had bought
specifically for tonight laid out. I stared at the dress and the
matching Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. Glancing to my left at the time I
decided to start to lotion up and get ready.
As I sat down to
put on my shoes my doorbell rang and I heard the echo of foot steps
and greetings as I finished. I got up and straightened/dusted off my
dress and headed to living room. “Alright, I'm ready for you guys
to fix me.” I stated entering the living room. “You look hot!”
I heard a familiar voice say. I chuckled looking up to see Terrence
sitting down with his case and bags ready to do my hair. “Hey
Terrence” I said smiling as I walked over to hug him.
“Damn,
Nicki!” Candi and Lauren exclaimed at me. “You trying to kill him?” Lauren said with a smirk. “Well...you know” I said,
before laughing. “So!" Terrence started up interrupting, "You told me to bring the black wig and I
brought it. Take a seat so I can get this thing on you” we were officially getting down to business.
After Terrence
had finished my hair, Lauren gave me a light layer of make-up before
everyone left leaving me to wait, quite impatiently I might add, for
Drake to arrive.
I fidgeted around
with somethings to pass the time and continued to check myself and
the clock to make sure everything was good. 2 minutes before our set
time a knock was sounded on the door. I nervously stood and
straightened myself double checking around me to make sure everything
was perfectly in place.
I took a deep
breath as I arrived at the door myself for once and opened the door.
“Hey” I said shyly as I looked up at a well dressed Drake leaning
on the doorway before me. “Hey beautiful” He said letting his
eyes scan me per usual. I bit my lip turning my head to glance back
before moving and letting him in. “Follow me.”
I stated as he
shut the door and locked it. We headed to my dining room where
multiple candles were lit and the lights were dimmed leaving the room
in a glow. I could feel his eyes on me and I turned slightly to see him
smirk as he met my eyes. I let a small smile slip onto my lips before
telling him to take a seat and making my way into the living room.
I brought out two
covered trays and slowly placed one in front of him, giving him the
opportunity to trail his eyes over me before I sashayed my way back to the
kitchen placing my food down in its place on the way there. I
brought out Drake's favorite whine and something special for myself
to calm my nerves.
After setting down our drinks we unveiled the food which to his delight was the promised
meal I told him I'd make a while back. As soon as I saw the smile
that eased on his face when he saw what I'd made I knew this night
would be perfectly fine.
____________
“He did not
seriously do that!” I exclaimed with a laugh dabbing at the corners
of my mouth with a napkin. “Yes! Luckily the crowd was enough to hold him and let him surf through uninjured. But I swear he
never smoked that much again!” Drake said laughing along with me
as he ended another tour story.
“Wow, so much happened on such a
'mini' tour!” I said half surprised. “Yea, Ovo team is pretty
crazy” He stated as he sat back with his plate empty. “Another
thing that's completely crazy is your cooking!” He said smiling at
me. I smacked my lips together before saying, “I told you I could
throw down, boo, don't act so surprised!” I said smartly. He
laughed at me as we both eased into a comfortable silence. “So...”
I began leaning towards the table. “You wanna go out back?” I
tilted my head to the direction of the patio letting him glance at
the view before turning back to me. “Absolutely.” He got up and
offered his hand to me. I accepted it grabbing my drink as he grabbed
his and lead him to my patio doors.
The sound of
music filled our ears as we made our way outside. I curiously looked
around before noticing the neighbors a long way down having a
mini dance. I shrugged and turned around to meet Drake's eyes. “Dance
with me?” he asked taking the last sip of his drink and placing the
empty glass down. “Absolutely” I stated setting down my drink
without a second thought.
He
laced our fingers bringing me into him letting his statures figure
tower over mine as I buried my head in his chest comfortably, letting
his other hand rest on my him. “You're so beautiful” He mumbled
in my ear, leaning down. “Oh?” I said in a lazily, comfortable
manner. I felt him nod. “You're okay, I guess.” I said smirking a
little. I felt him chuckle. “Just okay? Really? Because last time
you said-” “Drake” I said with a warning tone in my voice as I
glanced up at him. A shit eating grin covered his face as he wiggled
his eyebrows. “Yes, ma'am” He said cutely. I rolled my eyes
pressing my lips together as I leaned on him again letting him lead us round as I enjoyed the moment with him.
A
brief moment passed between us before my favorite song began playing
from the neighbor's house. I smiled into Drake's chest as I
sang/mumbled a long to Whitney's voice. “Hold
me in your arms tonight; Fill my life with pleasure; Let's not waste
this precious time;This moment's ours to treasure” I felt the
rumble of his chest as he finished the chorus off for me making me
smile and look up at him. “You know that song?” “A song with
Whitney in it? Of course, who doesn't know every Whitney song?” He
asked smirking down at me. I smiled widely as we swayed back and
forth.
I
believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't
take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So
won't you hold me, touch me
Make me your woman
tonight
There's something in your eyes I see
I
won't betray your trust in me
I
locked eyes with Drake as the words dwelled around us and we each soaked them
in. He slowly stopped moving us lifting my chin a little higher with
the nudge of his finger tips. My lips parted slightly in awe of him
as he leaned down to me. After what seemed like an eternity I felt
his breath on my lips causing a course of goose bumps to spread on my
arms. Impatiently, I pressed up on my tippy toes letting our lips
slowly clash together.
A strong force of air left my nose as I
satisfyingly eased myself into the kiss. His arms incased my small
frame as I wrapped both my arms around his shoulders pulling him into
me. Our bodies mushed together chest to chest as the kiss was
intensified. His grip tightened on my hips before I pulled away
smiling up at him watching the small spark in his eyes show as
we both blinked at each other. “Let's go inside.” I stated
quietly grabbing his hand and pulling him into the house leaving our
glasses behind.
We
made our way to the living room and in front of the couches where so
many things seem to always happen. I pushed him down gently to his
surprise and watched his face as I smirked hovering above him as I made my way onto his lap. I trailed my hands down his body
biting my lip as I gripped his shirt in my hands tugging him towards
me a little before locking my eyes with his, letting a seductive
smile fall on my lips before I pressed our lips together. I sucked
his bottom lip pulling it and letting it go watching his face scrunch
in a pleasured look from the small action. I chuckled lightly before
kissing him again. Trailing my hands to his shoulders and then back down
his chest.
I straddled him letting my dress shift and rise to my hips. He
moved his hands to the now bare spots of my upper thighs and gripped
them tightly pulling me into him letting our hips grind together. I
moaned into his mouth letting my lips fall open just enough for him
to sneak his tongue in between my lips. “Hmm..” I hummed into the
kiss as he pulled me into him harder. I rested my hands on the back
of the couch raising myself up to grind into him slowly and harshly,
making a moan escape his soft lips as he pulled his mouth away from
me. I continued to grind into him slowly and then increased my speed
a little as he moved his hands to my hips and gripped them tightly.
I
leaned down to his ear and nipped at it before kissing down his neck.
I let a light moan surpass my lips and travel into his ear. “Fuck!” he mumbled tightening his grip on my hips. I let a low/small giggle
leave my lips as I said to him quietly, “Mmm...maybe later.” I
pecked his lips once before getting up leaving him in his distraught
state. “Wha?” He said confusedly as his eyes snapped open. I
laughed before trying to escape. He quickly jumped up to come after.
I screeched in surprise and as quickly as I could walk in my heels, made my way to the patio doors.
As
I went to grab at the doors I felt two strong arms wrap around me
from behind causing a scream/laugh to escape from my throat. “Drake!
Put me down! I have to go get the glasses.” “Mhmm, I'm sure!”
“I do!” I said laughing as he lifted me from the ground and spun
me. I tried to point to the patio doors as he finally stopped spinning.
“Look!” He turned looking through the glass doors at the outline
of our glasses outside on the table. “See!” I said as he set me
down. I stuck my tongue out at him before slipping through the doors
to collect our glasses. “My bad, Nicki.” He stated meaninglessly
as a smirk set on his face watching me. I strutted past him and
headed to the kitchen with the glasses. Drake soon entered behind me
with our dishes from dinner and set everything in the sink blocking
me in momentarily. I turned around and watched him as he brought his
hand back and wrapped them around me as I leaned on the sink counter.
“You're something else...you know that?” He said after a while of
us staring each other in the eyes.
I tilted my head. “Are you
trying to insult me....or what are you saying?!” I said playfully
looking up at him. “Naw, never that.” He said pulling me into him
and rocking us from side to side. 'You sure, Drizzy, cause I'm
feeling like you need to get popped for that...” I mumbled into his
chest. He stopped moving to pout at me causing a laugh to erupt from
my petite figure. “Nigga please.” I stated patting his chest as I
moved from his arms and walked back to the living room. I glanced
back at him as I exited the kitchen entry way. “You coming, Drake?”
I asked. He took a moment staring at me with wild emotions passing
his eyes. “Yea...”
He
followed behind me into the living room and sat down as I took off my
shoes. “I have no idea why I wore shoes in my own house” I
complained as I ventured down 5 inches from where I had been. “Stepping
shit up for Drake, huh?” He said in third person. I rolled my eyes
at him before crawling next to him on the couch. “Whatever you
think, baby” I answered. I curled myself into his side as he
wrapped his arms around me and we began to engage in small talk
3
hours had passed and we were still on the couch. I was now laying on
top of Drake's chest running my hand through his hair as we spoke
quietly to each other about everything and nothing. “You're such an
incredible, woman” Drake stated as his hands rubbed up my sides and
finally rested my hips. “Compliments won't you get you the mango,
Drake” I said giving him a side eye. He chuckled shaking me
slightly. “I already go it I'm good” He stated with a shit eating
grin. “You know what....” I said pretending to get up. “I'm just
playing!” Drake said automatically gripping my hips to keep me
still. “Mhmm....”
A
comfortable silence came over them as I traced shapes on his chest in
thought. “Drake...” “Nicki.” he mimicked. I ignored his
playful mockery as I tilted my head. “Hey...what's up” Drake
asked a concern coming over him. “Nothing....we just...we have a
strange relationship...” I stated locking eyes with him. “That we
do. I enjoy it....most of the time” ''Don't you think at some
point....it's going to ya know, get old?” “Who knows....to be
honest, it might. But I hope not. I wouldn't mind spending every
moment of every day just like this” he stated using one hand to
motion to our current state “With you” A small smile graced
my features as I locked eyes with him again. “You're corny” I
stated letting a fully dimpled smile cover my face. “You like it.”
“Love it.” Another brief silence came over them as I took a deep
reassured breath.
“Onika.” Drake said his voice low making me
immediately look up at his usage of my real name. “Thank you.” He
stated looking deeply into my eyes. I blinked for a moment, confused
as to why he was thanking me. “For...” I said slowly. “Proving
it to me.” He said in a serious manner. He let his hand trace my
face as I started playing with my own fingers. Drake brought his
hand from my face and covered up both of mine to make me stop fidgeting,
before lacing our fingers together.
“Aubrey....” I stated
trying not to sound as choked as I felt. “I really DO love you.”
I said quietly as I brought my teary eyes to his. He took a deep
breath unlacing one of our hands to wipe at the corners of my eyes
with his thumb. “Yea,” he said after letting a breath out,
“I know.” He wrapped his arms around me in a hug as we embraced
quietly.
_______
“I
had a great time tonight, Nic” Drake said standing in the doorway
with his back to the outside. “Me too, Drake.” I stated in
honesty. He leaned and pecked my lips softly and then my forehead and
lastly my cheek, whispering sweetly, “Take care” before he
stepped back from me leaving me with closed eyes momentarily as I
leaned on the doorway. “Goodnight Drake.” I stated as he backed
up from my doorway with a wave.
I
smiled watching him walk to his car. As he got in and started it I
saw a small swipe of a wave that I returned as he sped off. Take
care.
__________________________________________
FINALLY.
You don't know how long this took me to finish today. Let's just say
WAY longer than I expected. I think it turned out pretty okay. Or in
other words I don't hate it! So you guys can stop coming at me now
for that other chapter that I hated (still hate). Anyways! Let's get
down to business!
First,
I'm no longer counting outside comments as part of the 5, unless I
say personally, that I”m counting it. The reason for this to be
honest is because I forget when people comment outside of this
website sometimes.
Secondly,
(This shouldn't really be a big deal; hopefully) I'm raising the
comment minimum barrier because you guys are beating it like it's
nothing and that tells me that there are more of you with great
opinions that I would love to hear! So the official comment minimum
is.......SIX. Yup. That's right...I added one more comment :P
Exciting I know.
The
main reason why I even have a comment barrier is because not only do
I want to see your opinions but to be completely honest to by myself
some time! I've become even more busy which means when I finish what
I NEED to do I'm usually feeling majorly lazy and comments help to up
the want to write. Though regardless I still have those moments when
I'm just like... UGH.
NOW!
I do have 8 more chapters pre-written and officialized by my “ghost”
writer Nash Stone. I just actually need time to write them full
detailed chapters out! I know it seems like to those who really know
me that I'm online a lot but I usually am working! I AM WORKING MORE
THAN YOU THINK! I'm just good at multitasking...on twitter. I started
up another extra curriculum as well as outside of school things to do
and accomplish.
Lastly,
I love you guys and I hope you truly are enjoying this story and not
feeding me bull. I hope as we continue through this interesting
journey of the reading/writing world that there are more of you. I'm
definitely not saying I don't appreciate those that I have because I
really do. I'm just greedy -shrugs- I'm not gonna lie. I hope that we
get to the point where I have 10+ comments from you guys as my
minimum, muwahaha! That's my secret plan in the end...but you didn't
read that.
