Nicki stared at her phone with disbelief and a screwed
facial expression. She couldn’t believe Lauren was trying to set her up, and on
several blind dates at that. Nicki knew in her heart how lonely she was but she
was just nervous. She was scared no one would live up to her expectations. She had
the highest, due to several awful relationships in her past. The guys she
usually dated always seemed to have wanted something from her and used her to
get it. So she was very cautious letting people in her life and in her heart. Being
an artist had been a difficult change for her. She now has to be very careful,
and trusts very little. She just didn’t
want to be used nor did she want to worry about a relationship while boosting
up her career. The thoughts in her mind went a mile a minute. As she was caught
up in her thoughts she didn’t realize someone was knocking at her door. She quickly
jogged to her front door to see who it was and what they wanted. As she opened it
a small little boy with curly hair, and big beautiful brown eyes jumped in her
arms. Nicki gave him several kisses on his cheek and felt so at eased.
Nicki: “Omggggggg Isiah you have gotten so big lamb chop,
how are ya?”
Isiah: “I am otay Nika, daddy buy me new toy.” He handed her
his blue and white toy car that was off of the movie ‘Transformers’ she never
understood how those things worked but she was in awed with how excited he was.
It gave her an idea. She was so wrapped up into talking to Isiah she completely
ignored SB’s precense.
SB *clears throats* “M-m-m, I see I am not missed here, I
haven’t seen you in over 2 weeks and you just forget about lil ol’ me, a coon
sees u. You can’t even offer a nigga to come in properly.” He joked. She looked up feeling awkward, while locking
eyes with Safaree. Ever since she had that dream earlier that day she felt a
little odd. Of course SB was her best friend, but she had always wanted more
from him. She hated knowing he had a girlfriend and a son that wasn’t even by
her. Nicki met his girl only a few times, and that was enough for her. She felt
something was really off with her but she decided not to talk to SB about it
since that was his baby’s mama.
SB: *snaps his fingers in her face* “HELLO, ONIKA, ONIKA did
u hear me? Damn the kid gets no love.”
Nicki: “Boy shut up,
how u been nigga I see u looking healthy and shit, come in.” Nicki’s eyes
wondered over him as she escorted him inside.
SB: “Same ol’ same ol’ taking care of this lil guy and being
the best I can be for my girl.” Nicki clinched her jaws trying to hold back from
what she really wanted to say.
Nicki: “Oh sounds like you have a lot on your plates.
Anyways, guess wtf Lauren trying to do?” SB noticed something different with
Nicki but brushed it off.
SB: “What the girl do now?”
Nicki: “She is trying to set me up on a few blind dates.
Like I am scared it has been a long time since I have dated.” Nicki and SB
continued to talk until Isiah felt like his attention was being deprived. They
stopped talking for awhile to see what he wanted.
SB: “Hey little man what ya need? Are u hungry?”
Isiah: “Mhhhhmmm” he said cheerfully.
SB: “Okay lil coon. Nicki is it okay if I heat up his spaghetti-os?”
Nicki watched how SB and Isiah interacted and she was in awed, she couldn’t
wait to have a family. She wanted to be the one to cook for her man and child.
Go shopping for toys and cater to her man on occasions. Nicki was snapped out
of her illusions for the umpteenth time.
SB: “Nicki what is up with u today? You want to talk like
what is on your mind, because you keep spacing out on me and I’m getting
worried.”
Nicki: “I’m sorry SB, there’s just a lot on my mind you know
I have my sophomore album to finish and all that, that is it.” She tried lying
but SB knew better, but decided to let it rest for now.
SB: “Okay, I’ll let this slide for now, I’m heading to the
kitchen to heat this up for Siah.”
Nicki: “Fine by me.” She stared at SB walking into the
kitchen to heat up his sons food and felt a buzz. Her phone was ringing. As she
picked it up with caution because it was a private number.
Nicki: “Hellooo, who-who is this?” she stuttered.
Annonymous: "Don't worry about who tf this is. Just be at 6721 Hollywood BoulevardLos Angeles at 7pm tonight" Nicki rolled her eyes knowing who it was, the voice wasn't even well disguised.
Nicki: "And why exactly should I meet there" she played along.
Annonymous: "Two words: Kino Sushi" the phone hung up. At that point Nicki knew this was going to be a hell of an experience but if it could get her mind off of SB, she will have to deal. [Let the games begin]
