7. Gone - Part One

*Kay, so a lot of readers are requesting this fic be updated and CM so Imma try to do both tonight before I go out. ^--^. This chapter is a little segmented cause it's following more characters right now. More drama is about to happen though :o And Onikafaree fans do not fear, this blog isn't converting to Dricki, I promise. ALSO I thought that me writing fics would hinder my working ability but I just got another major assignment back and managed to get another distinction! I'm so relieved! Anywho, enjoy!*

The crunching and splintering lasted a few seconds as she stood, frozen to the spot. She was about to step forward when Drake appeared at the doorway with his finger to his lips, signalling for her to be quiet.

"Stay here." She was about to open her mouth but hearing heavy footsteps making their way up the stairs she panicked. "Quick, take Jacob...And, just...Hide in the closet or somethin'." The last part of his sentence was almost inaudible as his whispering got quieter and quieter with each word being uttered. Doing exactly what he said she silently opened Jacob's closet door and shut herself inside, trying to soothe him at the same time as she sat herself down. There was dead silence for a few minutes, she was just praying that he hadn't gone downstairs.

"Where the fuck she at?! No good little whore!" That voice, she knew all too well. It was Junior.

"Look, she's not here." What followed made her jump as she heard a loud scuffle before he started talking again, only more exasperated. "I swear on Mom's grave." That cut straight to her heart. She knew how much his Mother meant to him and therefore how much she meant to him for saying that.

"Ion believe you! The fuck you doin' here if she ain't about, huh?!" Everything that was happening was almost being drowned out by her heavy, rapid breathing and Jacob was obviously picking up on the strange atmosphere as he started to fuss in her arms.

"Shh, baby please be quiet." He muted as soon as she started rocking him a little, thanking God that he was usually a quiet kid.

"Y'know? When I heard that you were fuckin' around with one of these hoes, I said No, no Aubrey wouldn't do that. He's better than that. We employ these sluts to fuck the clients. THAT'S IT! And here you are stickin' your God damn dick in one yourself!" She cringed at every word being said as she clamped her hands over her ears trying to muffle the sound of his voice. This was all her fault. If she'd just stayed away and done her job then none of this would be happening, Candi would be ok, Drake would be ok and she wouldn't be sat here wondering whether or not her life was about to end.

"So, speak up. Where is she?" He let go of Drake's neck as he moved across the hall to check her room. "So this where you fuck the bitch?" Drake shut his eyes and let his head drop as he tried to regain his breath. Hoping his father didn't move to Jacob's room. "Fucking low life. I'm ashamed to call you my fucking son Aubrey!" His footsteps got closer as he entered Jacob's room.

"Look, I already told you she isn't here! She took Candi's kid and went to a Motel." Nicki could tell his voice was holding fear as Junior charged back over to him. What she heard next was pure torture. There was a loud gunshot before his body could be hear tumbling down the stairs with speed before a few more shots were fired. Jacob immediately started screaming at the loud noise as she too started crying out hysterically. She didn't care if he found her anymore but she had to get Jacob out. The adrenaline started to kick in, preparing to make a run for it as his footsteps marched over to the closet, ripping the door open with force. But it wasn't Junior.

"Nicki, get up. We have to leave. NOW!" He grabbed her hand and yanked her up, she was still crying as she cradled Candi's inconsolable child. Looking over Drake's body there were blood splatters all over his top and his face was bleeding again. "We can't stop here, or my place. We'll go to a motel, take Jacob with us." He pulled a duffle out of the closet she was just in. "Pack as many clothes that'll fit, yours and his." she stood still, partially in shock that he was still alive. "Now Nicki!" She jumped before setting Jacob in his crib whilst she did what he said. "I'm gon' go make a few calls. DON'T move from here and stay put, kay?" He was now knelt at her level, holding each side of her still shuddering shoulders.

"W-what the fuck have you d-done to him?" She tried to look out into the hallway but he blocked her vision.

"It was self defence."

"Yeah but you've fucking killed somebody Aubrey! You're gonna get sent down for murder! Then what the fuck am I 'sposed to do?!"

"Just, calm down-"

"Calm down?! You're fucking tellin' me to calm down?!"

"NICKI!" He shook her hard making her tears come loose. "We don't have time for this! Once we're out of here and at the motel we'll talk. I'll sort everything. Now, please just do what I asked you to." He kissed her forehead and left her to it as he made his way back downstairs in a hurry.

***

The motel was dark, cold and gloomy. She just wanted to go home. To make matters worse, Drake had dragged her there, got her and Jacob settled and then left to go 'Sort things out' whatever the fuck that meant. She was left with strict instructions not to call anyone or answer her cell unless it was Drake or Lee, his friend. The only person who had called though was Safaree. It was killing her not being able to answer, and the fact that he wasn't giving up was making it more unbearable.

***

"Come on Nicki. Pick up your damn phone." Safaree was growing more and more worried after the 11th time calling and still no answer.

"Safaree, we're about to head off. Stefani has her dress fitting today,  so we'll see you when we get home." She smiled sweetly and moved out of the room to let him and Stef talk quickly.

"Safaree I swear if you're on your fucking cell tryin' to call her again-"

"I'm not, I'm not." he leant down to kiss her, even though she was angry she still accepted. "I'll see you later."

"Yeah, love you." she turned and walked away, counting down the seconds until he said it back. But he didn't. As soon as the front door slammed shut he waited to hear the engine start and grabbed his jacket. If she wasn't answering his calls he'd just have to pay her a visit in person. He was in such deep thought on the drive there he hardly noticed he'd arrived. He scanned over the windows as he pulled up and  hopped out of the car. The curtains were drawn and the house looked pretty empty. Heading towards the front door he knocked twice and waited for a response. Nothing. Just out of curiosity he tried the door handle, not expecting it to open but to his surprise it did. He stepped in slowly before calling her name.

"Nic? Nicki you in here?" With no response he figured not but the sight he was greeted with made him feel instantly nauseous. There was blood stains marking almost every step on the stairs, the hallway floor was smeared with it and the walls were also decorated with blood splatters. "What he fuck?!" He lifted his feet tenaciously, noticing he had indeed stepped in a puddle of it. Immediately images and scenarios started running through his mind. What if Drake had done this to her? He shouldn't have left, especially with him like that. Feeling his heart racing he had no idea what to do, who to call or where to go. He shakily pulled out his phone and did the right thing. He called the police.

*** (A few Hours Earlier) ***

"So you can get rid of it?"

"I mean, yeah but this is serious Drake. You killed your fucking father. Junior, like, he's not just anybody." A.J. rubbed his chin, "I can do it though, but I need your help. No one else can know, it's just me and you right?"

"No, Nicki knows. She was here when it happened." He sat on Nicki's couch as Lee moved back into the lounge room from where Junior's body lay. "She won't say anythin' though."

"Aight, as long as she keeps her mouth shut and we know we will, then everythin' should go smoothly."

'Thanks man. I owe you, big time."

They did what needed to be done, dumping Junior's wrapped up body off of the loading docks at 2am, A.J. knew the right time and place. His father had shown him all the ropes back when he lived on Staten Island. He looked at Drake who was rubbing his palms together nervously, his breath hitting the air and forming a white cloud.

"Hey, don't sweat it. Act normal, go back to Nicki and stay there for a while. His body bag is packed with weights, he should be poppin' up anytime soon." He hit his arm reassuringly before jumping back in his car and driving off like what they just did was nothing. The journey back to the Motel was tedious, he couldn't believe everything that had happened. Only days ago he had plans to take Nicki away, as his own and live somewhere with more opportunities. But now, he was going to be jumping at every sound thinking the police were behind him. He'd killed his own father and practically taken his hooker girlfriend hostage along with a two year old who belonged to neither of them. Suddenly realising that he was already back at the Motel he pulled up and stepped out of the car before walking to room 39. He had a special knock that he did to let her know it was him and she opened within seconds, jumping onto him with relief. Carefully stepping inside with her still latched on to his body he shut and locked the door behind him. Having absolutely no clue what was in store for them.

She scrambled around picking up her garments, some of which were unfortunately still in the hallway. Grabbing some of his clothes too she threw them his way.

"Hurry up and get dressed."

"Nic, I'm not one of them dudes you fuck for a couple hundred bucks and then just leave." She turned to look at him sourly.

"I know, but we shouldn't have done this. Like I said, it was a mistake." He studied her facial expression as she talked, catching her eyes briefly. She was lying.

"Why did you do it then?" He sat up and began dressing as she quietly opened the door to grab her shirt from the floor.

"Look, can we just talk 'bout this later please?" She threw her hair into a messy bun and slid her pants back on as the knocking became more urgent and impatient. "Ugh, can't they freaking wait five seconds?" She swung the door open and ran down the stairs as Safaree put his clothes back on. He listened from her bedroom, it was a man's voice he could hear as she let whoever it was inside. Maybe Drake. He didn't know whether it would look weird for him to go down the stairs, he might suspect something. So he smartly flushed the toilet first.

"Somebody upstairs?" She turned around to look at his blood stained face as he sat down.

"What? Oh right, yeah Safaree came over to talk. He's just usin' the bathroom." She said it hurriedly as she tried to read his expression setting his water down on the table. "Aubrey, what's happened?" She asked worriedly looking at the mess somebody had made of his face and the blood on his hands.

He sighed and shook his head. "Candi's in the hospital." He rubbed his hand carefully over his face and felt bad as she got quiet and continued trying to get a bowl of warm water and a cloth.

"Oh my God! Why? She's gon' be ok right? And are you alright?" Sitting back down again she started to dab at his wounded face. It looked like it was stinging.

"Ion know, we looked everywhere for her and I had someone check all the hospitals and they eventually tracked her down. It doesn't look too good though." He placed his hand tenderly over hers on his face as Safaree watched from the doorway. "And I'm fine, I just-"

"So you found her yet?" He walked in like he lived there making Nicki glare at him. She felt Drake's body become more tense as she stood up swiftly, giving Safaree that "You have to leave" look.

"Uhm hold on babe, I'll just show Faree out." Shook took his arm and led him to the front door.

"The fuck Nicki? We need to talk 'bout this!" He whispered loudly and angrily as his brow deepened, she let go of him when they reached the front step.

"Safaree there is nothing to talk about, we should never have done what we just did. Please just go, I'll call you lat-" He waved his hand at her dismissively.

"Don't fuckin' bother Nicki, I'm outta here." As he turned and walked away she felt her heart sink. Now she didn't know who or what she wanted, honestly spending the day with Safaree made all those feelings flood back but he was engaged to someone else. Then on the other hand Drake had never left her side, but he wasn't exactly offering her the great life she dreamed of. Hearing him calling for her she shut the door and tried to blink the tears away before heading back to him.

"Here." She pushed him gently back down into the chair and continued to clean up his face. "Did he do this to you?" He sighed heavily and didn't answer. "Aubrey?"

"Yes Nicki, Ion know why that was vital to know but yes he did!" She moved her head back as he looked up at her apologetically. "Sorry I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine, but Ion see why you still associate yourself with him though. He's an ass." She dipped the cloth in the water before proceeding to wipe over his cuts again.

"He's my father Nic, my boss. Your boss! If I go I ain't leavin' you behind. He's rippin' 'bout this whole mess with Candi-." Nicki interrupted him and stopped what she was doing before sitting on his lap carefully.

"Wait, he don't know anythin' 'bout you and me though, right?" He sighed again, letting her know that he did. "Shit." She threw the bloody cloth down and ran her hands over her face.

"But I wasn't done explainin'." He paused and folded his lips.

"What? Aubrey just tell me?" She was getting worried as he groaned frustratedly.

"Can's in the hospital 'causa him. He heard from someone that I was sleepin' with one of y'all and flew off the handle, then got your address. He obviously thought I was with Candi, beat her ass and then mine." He trailed off noticing the tears starting to form in her eyes, she hardly ever cried which made him act without thinking. Pulling her into his arms, his loving actions caused her to cry even more. "Hey, come on now, I know what you thinkin', and you can't think like that. It ain't your fault. If anythin' it's my doin'. We can't go see Candi yet, they said she can have visitors in a couple days time, kay?" He continued to try and soothe her until she was completely silent about an hour later. She was asleep. He carried her upstairs as best he could considering his battered and aching body. His Dad may have been relatively old but that didn't stop him from being an angry, aggressive asshole. "Junior" was his name, not his real one of course but that's who he was known as in this business. He wouldn't have hesitated for a second to do all that damage to Candi himself, he never struggled to lay a hand on a woman. Not even his own wife. From a young age Drake was exposed to this type of environment but would never dream of hitting a woman, ever. He looked at Nicki's tiny frame in his arms. He really did love her, he'd never had this feeling before. She shifted slightly as he kicked her bedroom door open before laying her gently in her bed. He checked on a sleeping Jacob before making his way back into Nicki's room and laying with her.

***

How could she just drop her panties for him and then act like nothing had happened. Like he was nothing. Maybe all the years living like she did had made that a normal thing? He couldn't even think about it as he pulled into his Mom's driveway, knowing Stef was going to flip out and start screaming at him for not coming home until 11pm. He sighed and stayed stationary for a moment or two before making his way inside.

'The fuck have you been?!" Surely enough she was stood right near the front door waiting like a damn hawk.

"Stef please? Not now." He tried to get past her but she slapped his chest hard.

"No Safaree. NOW." She crossed her arms and started tapping her foot. This is what he hated about her, the jealousy, it was such a turn off to him. But this time she had reason, she didn't know it but he did and it was eating away at him. She scoffed when he still didn't answer and stormed upstairs, slamming the door thoughtlessly behind her. Obviously waking up Mama Samuels. He'd already taken a seat on the lounge room couch by the time she got to him.

"Safaree?"

'I'm over here Mom." He stood up to greet her.

"What's happened now? She isn't half dramatic y'know?" She shook her head and sat next to him.

"Nothing Mom. Really. She's just mad 'cause I came home later than she wanted."

"Well, you were gone a while.Where were you? We were waiting for ages."

"I went to see Nicki." He leant forward and rested his head in his hands.

"And? How'd it go?" He really, really didn't want to be discussing this right now, especially not with his Mother.

"It was..Fine. We just left things on a bit of a sour note though."

"I'm sure you'll sort things out." She rubbed his arm reassuringly. "So, how is little Onika doing? We don't see much of her anymore and Carol never mentions her." She scrunched up her brow only just realising how strange that was.

"Yeah she's good, she moved out a while ago. She doesn't speak to her parents anymore." He saw her mouth drop out of the corner of his eye.

"Why not?" She tilted her head a little as he shifted uncomfortably.

"Mom I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm tired I think I'm gon' head to bed." He attempted to stand but her small hand stopped him.

"Safaree."

"Mom." She let go of him after he mocked her causing him to apologise and continue up to bed, only to be kicked out and face sleeping on the couch after his Mom had returned to her room. Thoughts of Nicki kept running through his mind and everything she'd had to cope with after he'd left her. What they just did in her bed only hours ago. The same bed she and Drake were probably sharing right now. He snarled slightly just thinking about it. Maybe this was how she felt seeing him with his Girlfriend all those years ago, whilst he just messed around with her on the quiet. He felt so awful and wished he could just erase everything that had happened, but he couldn't. What was done, was done. He'd just have to work out what he really wanted, or more like who he really wanted and fast.

***

The next morning Nicki woke up to the sound of Jacob crying in his room, as she became more aware of her surroundings she felt Drake's strong arms wrapped around her. Making her feel safe, but all the time she still had Safaree stuck at the back of he mind. She needed to speak to him.

"You want me to go get him?" He sounded groggy as she turned to face him, his face was less bloody but more bruised now. She ran her hands over the marks carefully. She felt horrible, his and Candi's injuries were all down to her relationship with him.

"No, no I'll go." She whispered and kissed him lightly. "I'm sorry." He grabbed her hand.

"And I've already told you, you don't need to be sorry." She smiled as best she could before going to get Jacob. She wanted to go see Candi but preparing herself mentally and emotionally was going to be hard. What if she didn't wake up? Drake had explained what the doctors had told him and it wasn't promising. She'd sustained serious head and chest injuries, was on a ventilator and put into an induced sleep to increase recovery time, but now there was the risk of her never waking up. As she picked him out of his crib he stopped crying and held on to her, she just hoped Candi would recover for his sake too. She's all he has, nobody apart from Candi herself knew who the father was but he had nothing to do with his son. Just as she was about to leave his bedroom there was a loud noise from downstairs, which sounded a lot like wood splintering and the smashing of glass...

*Ugh Ion like this chapter at all and sorry it's only mini XD Hope this was ok-ish for everyone and Im SO sorry it's a little rushed :// Night! And thx again for all the comments last chapter ^_^*

5. Laying It All On The Table (Full Chapter)

*Barbz, barbz, barbzzzz! Kay so something great happened today! I can finally relax and write without worrying! For the last week or so I've been panicking about a psychology paper that was being graded and we were told that this particular assignment had a really high fail rate so I was freaking out like crazy BUT I got it back today and I managed to get a Distinction which is, like, the second highest mark you can receive! ^__________^ I'm so relieved *sighs* Anywaaay back to the chapterrr, enjoy :o) ALSO if you haven't already, go follow @Rayebaby92TM 's  Onikafaree blog she's hopefully starting soon I cannot wait!! >>>  http://actionspeaklouderthanwordsonikafaree.blogspot.com.au/  *


She woke up feeling a draft hitting her naked body, as her eyes opened she looked over herself lazily noticing that she was completely exposed and Drake was laying on his side admiring her.

"Oh, you're awake then?" He removed the hair from her face as she looked at him blankly.

"Mmm, time is it?" She half yawned as she stretched her arms up.

"Almost 9am, you gotta be somewhere?"

"Shit." She sighed loudly. "Yeah I need to get back, could you give me ride?" She sat up and looked at his eyes which were fixed on her chest. "Aubrey?"

"Sorry." He smiled that smile of his. "Yeah I can give you a lift, time do you need to be back?" He sat up as well grabbing her waist and pulling her to him.

"Like, now. Please?" She changed their position as she pushed his back up to the headboard, straddling him in the process.

"Oh?" He locked eyes with her and she mimicked him in return.

"Yeah, oh. But really, I have to go. Come on." She dismounted him and walked casually into his bathroom proceeding to wash her face, brush her teeth and relieve herself as Drake threw on a pair of sweats and made his way downstairs to make breakfast. Once she was finished she raided his closet for something clean to wear until she got home.

"Nicki, we need to talk." She looked up from her plate of toast as he sat down opposite her.

"Yeah? 'Bout what?"

"This, us." She stopped eating and looked at him again before putting her toast back on the plate.

"Look Ion know what's goin' on right now. I like you, a lot but you're my boss. It's weird."

"Well that's another thing, Ion want you livin' like this anymore." She squinted at him.

"Uhm, you're the one who got me here in the first place."

"Yeah, I know that but I didn't know you then....Not like I know you now anyway..." He trailed off and looked away as he smoothed his hand over his stubbly chin. Standing up she walked over to his chair and rested in between his parted legs.

"What's so different now?" She whispered as she draped her arms around his neck, she knew what the answer was but she just needed to hear him say it.

"Don't play Nic, you know." She was loving how shy and childish he was looking right now, it was adorable to her.

"But you haven't said whatever it is that I'm supposed to know. So how do you know that I know?" He chuckled and shook his head.

"I really like you Onika, a lot." He ran his hands up and down her smooth arms as she continued to stare into his face.

"Well sir, I like you too." She smiled, displaying her dimples and her perfectly white teeth. She even looked beautiful to him without all the makeup on her face. He kissed her and pulled her closer before tapping her butt.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

***

She let herself inside dreading the explanation she was going to have to give Candi when she walked in. Luckily she didn't see any of her belongings dumped in the hallway like usual so she figured she was out. She frowned as she looked up the small set of stairs they had, she could hear Jacob crying. why would Candi not be here when her child was? Without even thinking she ran up the stairs whilst shouting for her but there was no answer, walking into his room she saw him screaming in his crib, he was stood up holding on to the railings.

"Hey baby, c'mere." She picked him up quickly and checked all the rooms, she was nowhere to be found. Pulling her phone out she called her, five times with no answer for any try. "Shit." She jogged back downstairs with Jacob on her hip as she called Drake, he answered immediately.

"Can't stay away huh?"

"Aubrey I can't find Candi." He stopped joking around hearing how panicked she sounded.

"Well, maybe she just went out with Jacob?"

"No, no he was here by himself. Did she reply to you last night?" She was rushing around in the kitchen trying to get him something to eat, who knows how long he'd been alone.

"Uhm...No she didn't, hold on. I'll call you back." She could hear the concern in his voice and started to  worry. She managed to get Jacob something to eat, he ate it fast and soon stopped crying after she bathed him and changed him. She didn't know what else to do. Looking at the time she threw her head back in frustration realising that Safaree would be here any minute. She thought too soon as she heard a loud knock on the door. She kept hold of Jacob as she went to let him in.

"Come in." He didn't say anything as she seemed pretty pissed. "You can go through, I'm just gon' go put him down." She'd noticed his eyes getting heavy and figured he was tired from all the crying.
As soon as she returned she sat on the opposite couch, not looking his way. Frankly she was beyond concerned about their little argument right now.

"Umm, everything ok?" He rubbed his legs anxiously as he waited for her to answer.

"Yeah. Fine."

"Right."

"Ugh, what!? Why you sayin' it like that?" He just stared at her with his mouth open.

"How the fuck you actin' like this when I just found out you're a fucking hooker Nicki?!" He stood up as did she.

"Look I can't deal with this right now-" He cut her off.

"YOU can't deal with this?! How the fuck do you think I'm feelin'?!" Before she could answer him, her phone vibrated as a new message came through. 

Quickly grabbing her phone she read the text from Drake, he'd only just been told that Candi was called out last night and obviously she hadn't returned. Having no time or patience to text back she called him and asked him to come over as a frustrated Safaree sat wondering what the hell was happening.

"Look, maybe we should do this another time? I got some shit to deal with right now, why don't you just go eat lunch at your Mom's or something?" She pushed past him and went back into the kitchen but he followed her.

"Nah, we said we were gon' talk 'bout all this and that's what we gon' do." He pulled a chair out and took a seat as she turned angrily to face him.

"What is there to explain SB?! So I'm a hooker, I had get money somehow!"

"And sellin' yourself was the only option? Ion believe that." She slammed Jacob's empty bowl into the sink as her temper began to flare again, realising that getting riled was definitely not going to help any she took a deep breath and sat down at the table with him.

"You don't a have a clue what I went through after you went chasin' that hoe." He sighed, taking his cap off to rub his head.

"Nic, I ain't go "Chasin'" no hoe. She was my girlfriend."

"So what was I? Your little bit on the side?"

"No, well yeah but I didn't think of you just as that! You were my friend too." He tried to reach out for her hand but she moved away instantly.

"Yeah, course I was. Friends with benefits huh?" She folded her lips in attempt to force the tears back and she was successful. "Look, I think you should go, your Mom and Stefani are prolly waitin' on you and I got things to do." she stood up and hiked Drake's sweats up some more as they were evidently way too big for her.

"No."

"Whatever, stay then, but I'm goin'." She walked back out of the kitchen and into the lounge room waiting for Drake but to her disappointment she got another text telling her that he couldn't come over anymore and he was heading over to the address Candi was supposedly at last night. Safaree read the text over her shoulder before she threw her phone down as she huffed.

"So, now we can talk." He sat back down again on a separate couch.

"Ion know what else you want me to say? You went runnin' after your "Girlfriend", left me, I got kicked out and became a prostitute. The end."

"Would you just stop actin' so fucking bitter and childish?! I'm sorry! How many fucking times do you want me to say that?! Letter after letter I repeatedly told you that but I ain't even get one damn reply!" He saw her face twist up grumpily.

"Letters? You didn't send me any fucking letters!" As she finished her sentence her face dropped realising that any letters he sent would have gone to her parents house. She hadn't been back or had contact with either of them for those four years. "Wait, you sent them to my house?"

"Where else would they be mailed to? That's where you lived." He'd calmed down a little noticing that her voice had become softer also.

"I moved out after you left, I didn't get any of them." She looked down slightly embarrassed that all this time she'd felt this anger towards him for not keeping in touch when he had been doing so all along. But that didn't change the fact that he just left her for this other girl he was dating, his "Girlfriend".

"Look, I'm sorry I left you the way I did, I really am and I did love you." She could feel a 'but' coming along and helped him out a little.

"But I was too young for you." He nodded sadly. "I get that, I mean I was fifteen and you were twenty but what you did to me was cruel Safaree and I can't just dust that under the carpet." He looked at her solemnly he knew how horrible it must have felt for her but he couldn't deal with age difference it felt so wrong to him, hence the reason he only had sex with her once. Unbeknownst to him she'd got pregnant after that one time. Her first time.

"I know, but it was just too much Nic. I shouldn't have let it get as far is it did, you were way too young." He looked up and their eyes met, he saw how tearful she looked and moved to sit next to her. She didn't move as she started to speak again.

"I thought it was 'cause you weren't gettin' any so I said I was ready and then...." He quickly pulled her too him feeling even worse than before. How could he have not known that she wasn't ready? 

"No, I don't think like that. Not like the guys you're dealin' with now." They stayed silent for a bit as he kept her wrapped in his arms. "How'd things get so bad?"

"Everythin' went to shit after you left." Safaree stayed quiet, he couldn't believe she wasn't crying it was like she'd blocked off every emotion except anger. "I was pregnant." He stopped breathing as soon as she went quiet again.

"What?" Pulling away from her he stood up and smoothed his hands over his shaven head. "No, no, no I don't believe this." He laughed but without showing any humour. "So you're tellin' me that you were pregnant with my kid? And you didn't tell me?" He remained on his feet as he looked down at her.

"Yeah. My Mom and Dad found out and forced me to get rid of it. Then kicked me out." Again getting angry at her inability to show any emotion he kicked the waste paper basket across the room making her flinch slightly. "I didn't know either, until after you left." She spat with attitude as he tried to control his temper. He sighed loudly and took a few deep breaths.

"Damn Nicki, the hell happened to us?" He asked calmly as he sat back down again. She was tired of all the fighting and arguing but she couldn't forgive him so easily for the way he treated her.

***

Hours passed and Nicki explained everything to Safaree, from dropping out of school, being kicked out and her traumatic trip to the clinic. It wouldn't be right if they talked all of this over without yelling, screaming or crying and that's exactly how it went. She finally broke down about the whole mess and he comforted her then he would mention something which infuriated her and she'd start yelling again. Their conversation was long and tiring but ultimately it seemed as though they covered everything and their differences were resolved. Nicki was now getting restless thinking about Candi, as Drake still hadn't got back to her.

"So what time was she supposed to get back?" Safaree asked as he placed the almost empty pizza box on the coffee table.

"Like, last night as soon as she was finished...Y'know?...." She trailed off when she saw him shifting uncomfortably, the whole Hooker thing still wasn't sitting well with him but being as proud as she was she refused to take any money. Even though he'd offered four times already, knowing how stubborn she was he gave up.

"And this boss of yours..." He stopped as he tried to think of his name.

"Drake?"

"Yeah, him. Is he over there now?" She sighed and looked at Jacob who was sat next to her on the couch with his bottle.

"Ion know, he's not answerin' my calls." She checked her phone and still there was no news. "Shouldn't you be gettin' back it's almost 6pm. You were supposed to be at your Mom's for lunch!" She laughed a little, he hadn't told her but he'd called his Mom already and told her he had something important, wedding related to deal with.

"Nah, they won't be missin' me." He paused and pulled his collar up a little and smiled smugly. "Not too much anyways." She giggled some more at his goofiness, that's what she missed about him. That and everything else. He saw her face turn sad again. "She'll be ok y'know?"

"I hope so, you don't know what could've happened to her." She let her eyes wander back to the dark window. It looked cold outside. "Well, I'm gon' go get him ready for bed. I'll be down in a minute." She carefully picked up a sleepy Jacob and headed upstairs with him, Safaree waited for a few seconds before following her up. Watching her from the doorway of his little bedroom he smiled at how good she was with him, forcing him to wonder what it would have been like if he never left. Would this be them with their child? Or would she have had an abortion still? He shook his head thinking about what might have happened if he hadn't left her all those years ago, his son or daughter could have be with them right now. He looked up sheepishly realising that Nicki had caught him as she made her way back out of the room, turning his light off and shutting the door a little behind her.

"You're really good with him." She smiled shyly and looked down before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. 

"He's a sweet kid." She smiled innocently which made him smile in response. Slowly he raised his hand to her chin and leaned down, hovering in front of her lips for a moment he let her move in first, which she didn't hesitate to do. She grazed his lips softly with her own before he turned it into something a little more passionate, pushing her gently against the wall he deepened the kiss and grabbed her waist. "Mmm...Safaree...we...can't..." She murmured between kisses. The words however held no meaning as he ignored her and continued with what he was doing. Picking her up by her waist and holding her against the wall, she wrapped her legs around him as things got more and more heated. The urgency became too intense to stop now, leaving a trail of clothes behind them as they made their way into her room and shut the door behind them.

***

"This was a mistake." He turned to look at her laying naked next to him, only the orange tinged street lamp outside her window was allowing things to be visible.

"I don't think it was."

"Faree, you're engaged, to another woman. This is so wrong."

"You do it all the time with them other married niggas" She sighed and looked over at him.

"That's different though."

"How?" He wasn't getting angry he just wanted to know how she was seeing things at this moment. The way she was screaming his name only an hour ago let him know that she obviously still had feelings for him, strong ones at that.

"It just...Is, I don't know why." She turned over properly on to her side, not caring that she had nothing covering her.

"I need to tell you somethin' Nic, but I need to know that you feel the same way?" He saw her close her eyes slowly, she knew what was coming.

"Faree please, don't?" She attempted to get up but he gently took hold of her wrist.

"Just hear me out?" He looked at her pleadingly as she resumed her position laying on her side.

Interrupting his moment of truth a loud  knocking sound came from the front door making Nicki immediately jump up and start throwing her clothes on.

...

4. *Sneak Peek* Laying It All On The Table

She woke up feeling a draft hitting her naked body, as her eyes opened she looked over herself lazily noticing that she was completely exposed and Drake was laying on his side admiring her.

"Oh, you're awake then?" He removed the hair from her face as she looked at him blankly.

"Mmm, time is it?" She half yawned as she stretched her arms up.

"Almost 9am, you gotta be somewhere?"

"Shit." She sighed loudly. "Yeah I need to get back, could you give me ride?" She sat up and looked at his eyes which were fixed on her chest. "Aubrey?"

"Sorry." He smiled that smile of his. "Yeah I can give you a lift, time do you need to be back?" He sat up as well grabbing her waist and pulling her to him.

"Like, now. Please?" She changed their position as she pushed his back up to the headboard, straddling him in the process.

"Oh?" He locked eyes with her and she mimicked him in return.

"Yeah, oh. But really, I have to go. Come on." She dismounted him and walked casually into his bathroom proceeding to wash her face, brush her teeth and relieve herself as Drake threw on a pair of sweats and made his way downstairs to make breakfast. Once she was finished she raided his closet for something clean to wear until she got home.

"Nicki, we need to talk." She looked up from her plate of toast as he sat down opposite her.

"Yeah? 'Bout what?"

"This, us." She stopped eating and looked at him again before putting her toast back on the plate.

"Look Ion know what's goin' on right now. I like you, a lot but you're my boss. It's weird."

"Well that's another thing, Ion want you livin' like this anymore." She squinted at him.

"Uhm, you're the one who got me here in the first place."

"Yeah, I know that but I didn't know you then....Not like I know you now anyway..." He trailed off and looked away as he smoothed his hand over his stubbly chin. Standing up she walked over to his chair and rested in between his parted legs.

"What's so different now?" She whispered as she draped her arms around his neck, she knew what the answer was but she just needed to hear him say it.

"Don't play Nic, you know." She was loving how shy and childish he was looking right now, it was adorable to her.

"But you haven't said whatever it is that I'm supposed to know. So how do you know that I know?" He chuckled and shook his head.

"I really like you Onika, a lot." He ran his hands up and down her smooth arms as she continued to stare into his face.

"Well sir, I like you too." She smiled, displaying her dimples and her perfectly white teeth. She even looked beautiful to him without all the makeup on her face. He kissed her and pulled her closer before tapping her butt.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

***

She let herself inside dreading the explanation she was going to have to give Candi when she walked in. Luckily she didn't see any of her belongings dumped in the hallway like usual so she figured she was out. She frowned as she looked up the small set of stairs they had, she could hear Jacob crying. why would Candi not be here when her child was? Without even thinking she ran up the stairs whilst shouting for her but there was no answer, walking into his room she saw him screaming in his crib, he was stood up holding on to the railings.

"Hey baby, c'mere." She picked him up quickly and checked all the rooms, she was nowhere to be found. Pulling her phone out she called her, five times with no answer for any try. "Shit." She jogged back downstairs with Jacob on her hip as she called Drake, he answered immediately.

"Can't stay away huh?"

"Aubrey I can't find Candi." He stopped joking around hearing how panicked she sounded.

"Well, maybe she just went out with Jacob?"

"No, no he was here by himself. Did she reply to you last night?" She was rushing around in the kitchen trying to get him something to eat, who knows how long he'd been alone.

"Uhm...No she didn't, hold on. I'll call you back." She could hear the concern in his voice and started to  worry. She managed to get Jacob something to eat, he ate it fast and soon stopped crying after she bathed him and changed him. She didn't know what else to do. Looking at the time she threw her head back in frustration realising that Safaree would be here any minute. She thought too soon as she heard a loud knock on the door. She kept hold of Jacob as she went to let him in.

"Come in." He didn't say anything as she seemed pretty pissed. "You can go through, I'm just gon' go put him down." She'd noticed his eyes getting heavy and figured he was tired from all the crying.
As soon as she returned she sat on the opposite couch, not looking his way. Frankly she was beyond concerned about their little argument right now.

"Umm, everything ok?" He rubbed his legs anxiously as he waited for her to answer.

"Yeah. Fine."

"Right."

"Ugh, what!? Why you sayin' it like that?" He just stared at her with his mouth open.

"How the fuck you actin' like this when I just found out you're a fucking hooker Nicki?!" He stood up as did she.

"Look I can't deal with this right now-" He cut her off.

"YOU can't deal with this?! How the fuck do you think I'm feelin'?!" Before she could answer him, her phone vibrated as a new message came through....

*Im soooo sorry it's just a sneak peek BUT the rest is coming tomorrow, which over here is like now...so really, later on today :)) Who do u suppose is messaging Nicki? :O Sorry for any typos and yeah, the full chapter tmrw :)) And thanks for all the comments guysss ^_^*

3. Mixed Feelings - Part Two

*Ughhh Im gonna say it now, I really, really, realllyyyy HATE writing sex scenes so yeah no more after this!! And for a certain person who might be reading this (she knows who she is) GET OFF OF MY BLOG lmao well hope this is ok for you all, it's only a lil chapter too sorry :/*

The stranger, or so she thought, stood staring at her until she finally made eye contact with him.

"Safaree? What, what the hell are you doin' here?" She snatched her belongings, mostly condoms, out of his hands.

"Uhm, check the area, Nic I already told you I was stayin' with my Mom. She lives here. And I was just on my way to see a mate." He popped his eyes at her as she looked around only just noticing the familiar surroundings. "What the hell are you doin' here? And why you dressed like this?" He tugged at her loosely fitted jacket. The same one she was wearing when he went to see her this morning.

"My bad, looks different at night." She shifted uncomfortably and tried to cover herself up a little more.

"You didn't answer my question Nicki?"

"I'm just on my way to see a friend, if that's ok with you?" she rolled her neck with attitude. "I have to go, I'll just, see you tomorrow." She marched past him and headed towards the house Drake had told her to go to. She could hear him walking behind her.

"Nic? Nicki wait!"

"Safaree, I thought you had somewhere to be?!" She carried on walking down the street as he caught up with her.

"I do.......Well not yet I'm waiting for a call." He shook his head trying to get back to the point. "Please, be careful. You shouldn't be walkin' 'round this area dressed like that, it's not safe."

"I'll be fine SB, as soon as I get to my friend's I'll be off the street." She stopped for a second. "See you tomorrow." He had given up following her as she walked even faster, she obviously didn't want to see him and after how things ended four years ago he couldn't blame her.

She turned to make sure he wasn't looking anymore and to her surprise he was gone, the street was completely empty. That's when she saw Drake's car across the road, he was watching protectively from the window, she nodded to signal that she was going in as she climbed the steps to the front door knocking only twice. The door swung open to reveal a very tall and muscular man stood before her.

"You Nicki?"

"Mhmm. You gon' let me in or what?" He smirked and stepped aside letting her walk past. The smell of her perfume had set him off already and when he turned to see her ass, he wondered how the hell he was going to control himself. Back on the roadside Drake was watching the house vigilantly, the curtains were drawn so he couldn't keep such a hawk like watch, he was glad though. The thought of seeing that guy's hands all over her made his blood boil, he'd never felt like this about a girl before but Nicki, she was special and after tonight he was done. He was pulling her out of this lifestyle for good, he just hoped that she felt the same way about him too.

Back in the house Nicki was already down to her underwear as she straddled him on the couch, he tried to move in and kiss her but she gently pushed his face away and lowered herself to the ground, positioning herself in between his legs. He hurriedly tried to rip his belt off but she stopped him and did it herself, unzipping his jeans slowly and pulling out his already hard dick. She stroked him a few times before taking him into her mouth, almost instantly making him throw his head back as he used his hands to guide her head. She continued to let him control her head before deep throating him. His groans got louder as he came but to her surprise he pushed her away so as not to deposit himself in her mouth. She wiped her mouth and straddled him again.

"Why did you do that?" He looked at her with a confused face.

"What?"

"You pulled outta my mouth, I thought guys liked it when we swallow?"

"I think it's disgusting." At that moment, just looking at him he reminded her of someone. Almost as if she recognised him but feeling him get hard underneath her again helped her to remember why she was here. There was something about this guy that was...different, he wasn't like all the other men who paid for her services. He seemed kind of naive, like he'd never done this before. He obviously wasn't going to take control so Nicki decided to after looking at the clock and noticing it was almost 9pm. Reaching behind herself she unclasped her bra and let it fall before throwing it to the side and rising to her knees inviting him to pull her thong off, he caught on and removed the material from her body. He was being gentle which also surprised her. She felt his eyes scanning her naked body and quickly put a stop to that by grabbing him gently and guiding him inside of her before lowering herself on to him. From there on only light panting and soft moans could be heard as she rode him. His hands were placed firmly on her hips as he thrusted into her, without warning he pulled out and turned her around on the couch letting her lean over the back of it as he entered her from behind, this time with more force. He was getting more into it.

"Mmm, right there." She moaned breathlessly as he increased the speed of his thrusts.

"Damn girl, you tight as fuck." He half groaned as he reached under her and grabbed her breasts,  playing with her nipples and making her moans increase in volume. She felt herself breathing more irregularly as her walls tightened around him and made him pump faster.

"Ugh I'm 'bouta...I'm...Uhh.." She couldn't finish her sentence as he stroked deep and hard sensing she was close, they both came and dressed as soon as it was over.

"I'll just go get your money." He avoided eye contact and headed out of the room, she could hear him talking and waited for him to return. Once he came back in he looked slightly riled.

"...Yeah, aight, see you soon." He hung up and turned to look at her. "I'm sorry, my room mate's raided my savings..again-" She cut him off quickly, thinking that she wasn't going to get paid after having to give herself to him.

"I'm not moving 'til I get the money though, Y'know that right? And my boss is right outside, waiting for some shit like this to go down!" She crossed her arms after pulling her dress up some more. He looked towards the window nervously.

"Calm down, you're gon' get your pay I gotta friend who's comin' over. He said he can loan me some. How much do I owe you?"

"For an hour..." She calculated in her head, usually it's a two hour rate but this guy didn't want much. "Make it $250." She threw a piece of gum into her mouth. "Can I use your bathroom?" She figured she might be waiting a while for this friend of his.

"Kay, $250 it is and yeah straight through there, door on the right." He smiled but still wouldn't look her in the eye, she guessed he was ashamed. This was definitely his first time with a call girl, she knew that for a fact.

"Thanks." She headed the way he said and whilst she was in there she could hear voices talking and thanked God that his friend was here so once she was finished she could just leave.

"Oh shit, dude that was quick! What, were you like stalkin' my fuckin' house!? C'mere!" They embraced one another before taking a seat. "Thanks man, I owe you." He took the money from his friend.

"S'all good, just don't make it a regular thing." He saw him nodding before adding to his comment. "I mean the whole, prostitute thing too. I know you been through shit with that bitch wife of yours but fucking hookers ain't gon' fix nothin'."

"I know, I know." He sighed and rested his head in his hands. "It's a one time thing, I hope. I feel like shit now. Fuck knows how she's feelin'." He looked up hearing her shoes entering the room again.

"You got my money yet?" She asked as she walked back in looking at her phone but froze when she brought her head up and locked eyes with the other guy in the room.

"The fuck Nicki?!" She flinched at how loud Safaree was yelling as he jumped to his feet.

"You two know each other?" His friend was still holding the money and looking between the two.

"Do we?! Thas a good fucking question, Ion think I know this Nicki!" She looked down feeling extremely embarrassed that he was seeing her like this but then felt herself becoming angry instead.

"Y'know? If it wasn't for you fucking leaving me here in this shit hole four years ago, none of this would be happening! I lost everything because of you and you just tossed me aside like some fucking worthless...." She stopped and tried to regain her composure. "No, no I'm not 'bouta stand here and justify my fucking self to you!" She wiped away the stray tear rolling down her face as she snatched the money from SB's friend and stormed out of the house with Safaree hot on her heels. Her loud yells in the street woke Drake from his nap in the car and seeing her trying to pull away from the grip this guy had on her arm made him instinctively fly out of the car.

"Nicki, wait! Please I just wanna talk!" He still had hold of her arm trying to stop her from leaving. He didn't know that the car across the street was her ride home, or had her boss inside for that matter.

"Let go of me Safaree! You didn't wanna talk for the last four fucking years, the fuck is so different now?!" She was about to try and pull away one last time when an angry Drake grabbed SB by the front of his shirt and threw him forcefully away from her.

"Nic, go get in the car." Seeing her about to object he raised his voice. "Now!" He had no clue who this guy was, he just knew that he had his hands on her.

"Aubrey it's fine, just leave it please!?" She pulled at his arm as Safaree's friend tried to help him up. "Please? I got my money, everything's fine lets just go!" He relaxed his shoulders noticing that nobody was returning the fight.

"Nicki? Please, we need to talk." He looked at her regretfully, she could tell he was mad with himself for yelling at her inside. He always did that, they were so similar in that sense. They both exploded easily and would regret it minutes later. Whereas with Drake he would say things passively and rarely raised his voice. If he was angered he would just disappear and not talk for a while and then return as if nothing had happened.

"I know." She looked down before looking at Drake. "I'm ok, could you please wait in the car? I'll be over in a second." He looked hesitant but nodded anyway and whispered in her ear.

"That nigga touches you again and I will not be held responsible for my actions." He kissed her neck as she rand her hands down his chest when he went past and got back in his car making sure to keep his eye on this "Safaree" dude.

"Tyler could you give me and Nic a minute?" Tyler nodded and tipped his head awkwardly at Nicki as if to thank her for the sex and shut the door behind him, leaving them both in silence. "What happened Nic?" He looked her up and down with a pitiful look on his face, what she said earlier was bothering him. Was all of this really his fault?

"Ugh, don't give me that! I was a wreck after you left, I lost everything. I had no choice." He moved closer which made her take a step back as Drake opened the car door to warn him.

He held his hands up and stepped away. "Aight, Jesus, calm the fuck down!" He shook his head and looked back to a tearful Nicki.

"Look, we need to talk. Properly. Not here, not now and definitely not like this."

"I know." She scuffed her foot on the sidewalk as she looked down. "How 'bout we just meet up tomorrow? Candi's taking Jacob out so our place will be empty." She spoke between sobs not once looking up at him as she sniffed and wiped the tears away.

"Tomorrow? 'Bout eleven?" She just nodded and turned to walk back to the car letting the tears go. He hated that he couldn't tell her how much she still meant to him, how much he still loved her. But this, this was beyond crazy. He never even thought things would get so bad that she'd have to become a prostitute. What the hell so bad could've happened for her to have to do this? He dreaded to think what tomorrow might bring as he watched her climb into the passenger seat and drive off with that cocky ass.
The only good thing about him was his obvious protective nature, he knew no harm would come of her being with him. He hoped.

***

The drive home was quiet, Nicki had stopped crying and was looking emotionlessly out of the window. Drake knew exactly what was wrong with her once he realised who Safaree was. She had never told him the name of the guy who dumped her and left her but he put the pieces together in his mind. Grabbing his phone sent Candi a brief text whilst driving telling her that Nicki was staying at his so that she wouldn't worry about her not coming home.

"You kay?" He brushed his hand across hers making her look at him.

"Yeah, I guess. But, you went past my turn off." She watched the street go by and looked at him.

"I know, you stayin' at mine tonight." She didn't answer and just looked back out of the window again.

"Thanks." It wasn't long before they pulled up to his house and he let them both in after parking his car.

"You wanna use the shower?"

"Please." He led her upstairs and showed her to his bathroom, laying out an old tee and some sweats for when she was done. "You're not showering with me?" He looked at her leaning naked in the bathroom doorway and considered her question. Peeling his shirt off her entered the bathroom and set the shower to a good temperature and continued with taking his pants off as she sat on the side of the tub. Once he was completely undressed too he grabbed her hand and they both showered until the water turned ran cold. Now laying in bed Drake noticed she was already asleep on him and decided to leave her as she was. He'd just talk to her in the morning, he stayed awake thinking for a while until he couldn't hold his eyes open anymore.

Sunday 2 September 2012

2. Mixed Feelings - Part One

As soon as he left she felt the sadness wash over her. She really missed him. A lot had happened since he left four years ago, when they dated she was only 15 and he was 20, to her that didn't matter but he always had a complex about it. He hated for people to ever know that he was dating a high school student and whenever he said "My girlfriend is still in school" people assumed her to be maybe 17 or 18. But 15, it was just too much for him to handle. They dated for a while though despite what anybody said about them. Their past was a dark one though.

"What did he want?" Candi asked quizzically as she spoon fed Jacob another mouthful of his breakfast in the kitchen.

"Huh? Oh, right, um nothing much." She went to the fridge and pulled out the carton of orange juice.

"Kay Nic. Like I'm gon' believe that!"

"Just leave it Can, please?" She sighed realising the carton was empty and threw it roughly into the bin. "We never have shit in this damn house!" Candi stopped to look at her.

"Could you please not yell 'round my child?" She shook her head and continued to feed him as Nicki left the room angrily. She hated how Nicki would say stuff like that, as if it was Candi's fault they were living this way. Once she got to her room she threw her belongings on to the floor near her chest of drawers and grabbed a clean change of clothes, her toothbrush and shower things and headed to the bathroom. Usually this was her routine procedure most nights after being with another paying customer but she'd stayed the night so was performing these duties in the morning. She always scrubbed for ages, feeling dirty.

Her and Candi were just two of Aubrey Graham's "girls" he found them sat in a bus shelter late one night and offered them a 2 bedroomed apartment, at a really cheap price to begin with. They couldn't refuse, they were practically homeless. Nicki's parents had kicked her out when she was 15 after they found out she was pregnant and forced her to have an abortion. She dropped out of school because of the cruel taunts and nasty things people did to her and found herself sleeping in doorways for a few nights, until Aubrey found her. He told them straight up what he was, but Nicki never got a creepy vibe from him. He was sweet, funny and a genuinely kind-hearted man. He was 26 and doing alright for himself, he gave the girls the apartment on condition that as soon as they were of age they would work for him and he wouldn't take rent money from them anymore. They were extremely hesitant at first but how could they refuse a free apartment, no bills no other costs in exchange for their "innocence" unbeknownst to Aubrey that neither were virgins anyway. And that's their story. They were selected by clients through Aubrey, his work name was Drake, so they would be chosen through Drake and then go take care of business, get their money and split the earnings with Drake, he always got 40% of what they earned in an entire week, their earnings combined. He also paid for their car, Jacob's childcare fees, health care fees and anything else that needed to be paid for. The only thing they had to worry about was food and other essentials and having a 2 year old in the house, they needed a lot of essentials. Nicki never told Safaree that the baby was his, in fact he didn't even know she was pregnant when he left, she never told him. She had to go through it all. Alone. She had Candi of course but not even she knew about that. The only person who knew was Drake. They had a weird relationship, not a bad one but a strange one. Nicki could never understand if she had feelings for him or whether it was just the fact the he cared for her and he took care of her that made her feel a type of way towards him. She wasn't going to lie, she had slept with him a few times but other than him and Safaree she hadn't kissed another man. Her job was sex, and nothing else. She could relate to Julia Roberts' character in 'Pretty Woman' that way. She felt that kissing was more intimate and showed more feeling. Or so she thought. Those thoughts ended suddenly hearing Candi's yelling.

"Nic? The fuck you doin' in there? You been running the shower for like, an hour! Get it the fuck together!" She hadn't even realised she'd dazed off like that. Quickly finishing up her shower rituals she turned it off and made a hasty exit to her room. She was still thinking of an excuse for tonight. she really wanted to see him again, but not at a posh restaurant meal with his fiancé. What was her name, Stef? Well, that's what she heard him say. She continued to think over ideas as she sat on her bed and lotioned, it was almost midday on a saturday. Tonight would be busy, and she had to go see Aubrey to hand him his money from the week too, suddenly remembering that she threw on some sweats and t-shirt she grabbed her phone and called him.

"Hey stranger." She almost melted at the sound of his voice.

"Hmm, I'm no stranger to you." She flirted as she got comfy with her back resting against the headboard.

"I know that." He chuckled softly. "So, s'goin on?"

"I just wanted to let you know Imma drop 'round later with this weeks money, you'll be there right?"

"I'm always here." She could feel him smiling through the phone and cheesed when she realised she was doing it too. "How could I miss out on seein' my favourite?"

"Mmkay Aubrey! You tell all of us that, I ain't fallin' for your smooth ass lines."

"You are, always have been. And always will be Onika." She loved how he used her first name, she didn't usually like it because it reminded her of her parents as they used to call her that, obviously it's her name. But when he did it, it was ok. "Oh, shit, before I forget somebody booked you for 8pm, you kay to do it? If not I'll get Candi, she had last night off...And I heard you stopped with a client? Overnight?"

"Yeah thas fine, and yeah I was offered an extra hunnid so I said yes, that okay?"

"No, I don't like you doing that. You go, do your thing and then leave. Please don't do that again?"
Nicki was dumbfounded but he was her boss so agreed anyway.

"Uhm, yeah okay. I won't do it again. Sorry." He could hear the confusion in her voice.

"Don't apologise, I'm not mad. But if anything were to happen to you Ion what I would do that's why you stick to the rules."

"Alright, I promise I won't do it again. Thanks."

"For what?" He smirked as he said it.

"For, Y'know? Actually caring. Not many people do."

"Well, I do. That's all that matters....And listen, don't worry about gettin' the money to me straight away, just hand it over when you come to get the address for tonight. Aight I gotta go, talk to you later babe." He hung up swiftly which automatically let her know that either his cell was ringing or an imprortant visitor was entering his office. Did he really just call her 'Babe'? She sat and thought about for what seemed like an eternity. It might as well have been when she was startled from an uncomfortable nap at 5pm by her phone ringing. It was Safaree.

"Hello?" She answered groggily, only just noticing the time.

"Hey Nic, just confirming for tonight? You wanna be at that mad expensive restaurant in town for like 6pm. I reserved a table for three....Unless, you wanna bring a guest, I guess that's ok."

"Safaree-"

"No. Onika, I am not lettin' you bail on me. Please? One freaking dinner, what's the harm?" She instantly felt bad and thought for a minute.

"Alright, I guess I'll just, see you there?"

"Stef and I'll wait out front of you want?"

"No, no that's fine I'll just find you in there." He could tell she sounded hesitant but knew once she got there she would have fun. He hoped.

They talked for a short while longer until Nicki really did have to go and get ready, being sure to pack her "work" clothes to change into. Tonight it was fishnets, as always, and an extremely skimpy, skintight strapless dress in the colour she suited, red. But that was just for after dinner, to meet Safaree she was wearing a classy, black, figure hugging dress. It stopped just a little above the knee and emphasised her admirable curves. On her way down the stairs she checked her hair and makeup for the 6th time in the hallway mirror.

"Can?" She shouted for her friend. "Candi?"

"Shit, keep it down he only just fell to sleep!" She snapped in a whisper.

"My bad. Anyway, can you please give this to Aubrey tonight?" Nicki handed the wad of cash to her friend who was stood their looking bemused.

"So it's Aubrey now huh? I always knew that nigga had a soft spot for you and that damn ass of yours!" They both laughed until Candi looked over what Nicki was wearing. "And, where do you think you're goin' dressed like that?"

"I'm goin' for dinner with Faree and his fiancé if you must know. A restaurant in town somewhere, you want me to bring back leftovers?"

"Uhm, bitch, no thanks. I'm good." Nicki laughed at her face and continued fixing herself in the mirror. "Nic, chill you look amazing. But remember that he has a fiancé, don't go and get all hung up on this shit again, kay?" Nicki nodded nervously. "I'll take this to Drake, don't worry. I'll send him a kiss too!" She stopped laughing when she felt Nicki's small, but strong hand hit her playfully.

"Girl, shut the fuck up. I'm leaving now. I gotta see a client at 8pm, could you get Aub-" She paused. "Drake to text the address to me?" Candi nodded as she shooed her out of the door.

"Go have fun Nika! You need to live a little!"

***

Sat in the restaurant waiting was like torture, she felt as though everyone knew her story and it was making her feel uncomfortable. Thankfully she saw them making their way towards her so she stood to greet them, not really sure if that's what you were supposed to do.

"Nic, you're early....And you look....really good." That was no word of a lie, she looked amazing to him. Still. Stef noticed him standing their mesmerised and nudged him out of the way before extending her perfectly manicured ring hand for Nicki to shake.

"Hi, I'm Stefani. You can call me Stef though, I prefer it." And there it was, one of the most annoying bimbo laughs Nicki had ever heard. She was going to have to sit through this for an hour. Worst of all, she couldn't drink. Another one of Aubrey's rules, drinking rules the minds decisions. A dangerous thing in their line of work. So she would just have to endure this, sober. once they had all sat down and ordered their meals Stefabi decided to break the silence.

"So, Nicki, I hear you're still in school. How's that goin' for you?" She saw her body jolt a little as Safaree must have nudged her under the table.

"Actually, no. I would have finished already but I dropped out anyway." Safaree's eyes bugged.

"What? But you were like, a straight A student. When the hell'd this happen?" When they were together Safaree would always encourage her to stay in school and make something of her life, he had dropped out and regretted it and didn't want his best friend turned girlfriend to make the same mistake.

"Like, four years ago. Just after you left." She trailed off remembering how dark those days where.

"Shit, I ain't even know. Can I ask, why?"

"I'd rather not talk 'bout it, thanks." She picked up her water and sipped a little hoping that the subject would change without her input. She didn't look up to see Safaree's face, but caught a glimpse when she sat her glass back down. He looked hurt. It was silent again, all that could be heard was the  conversational buzz of other people and the clanging of cutlery on plates. Suddenly Nicki's phone chimed, letting her know she had a text message.

Aubrey: You look like you're having fun

Onika: Ur such a creep. The hell are you? 

She looked around with a small smile on her face. Safaree noticed and kept watching her as she went back to texting, Stefani was completely oblivious as she obsessed about one of her nails that had snapped off.

Aubrey: Watching you. Enjoying myself ;)

Onika: Get off my fone :( Wht do you want anyway?

Aubrey: Never, you love me. I'm taking you to the address, he's not as youthful as you so imma have to tire you out first

Onika: -__- Ur such a pig, you ain't awl dat anyways, more like a warm up ;)

Aubrey: We'll soon find out. Hurry up, the nigga opposite you looks like he wants eat you more than the plate of food in fronna him.

Nicki laughed out loud unconsciously and looked up to see a very suave looking Drake staring at her though the window.

Onika: Go away. I'll see you soon

Aubrey: I know and I'll be waiting

She threw her phone back into her purse only to look up and see Safaree staring at her.

"Who was that? Got you smilin' like a mad woman!" He covered up the jealousy with a joke as Stefani stood to go to the bathroom.

"Babe, I'll be back." She made sure to hold the kiss long enough for Nicki to notice and look down.

"So, who's textin' da kid?" He grinned and moved his plate away from himself.

"It was just Candi, she's goin' to bed now. She's leavin' a spare key out just in case. That's all, nosey ass." They both laughed, they missed this but neither one was going to admit that. Nicki looked down at the time on her phone, it was time for her to leave.

"This was good, thanks for askin' me. I enjoyed meeting Stef, i hope you're both happy together. You certainly seem it." She smiled sweetly and stood up.

"Wait? You're really goin'? It's only been an hour Nic." He sounded genuinely heartbroken.

"Well, how 'bout we meet for lunch tomorrow...Only if Y'know? You not busy and you actually want to." She went quiet and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear nervously.

"Of course I want to, but Mom is havin' lunch at hers tomorrow so if you don't mind you could come along?"

"Are you sure that's okay, y'know? With Stef?"

"You're my guest, I want you there and I'm sure she wouldn't mind. So tomorrow, 1pm at my Mom's, you needa ride? Or, if you plan on bringin' someone along that's all good just let me know." He was intrigued to see if she brought along a guy or not. He knew all too well that the person she was texting with wasn't Candi.

"Sounds good, and I already have a ride thanks....and yeah, I'll bring someone along, thanks. Long as that's cool with your Mom though?"

"Y'know it will be!" They both laughed knowing how enthusiastic his Mom got about having people over for meals.

"Well, see you tomorrow I guess?" He nodded and hugged her as she left, placing her money for the meal back into her bag without her knowing.

"You better get dressed, you have to be there in..." He looked at his watch. "Like, twenty minutes." He leant down and placed another kiss on her neck as they lay naked with her back pressed to his chest. She sighed and turned to meet his lips with her own. After another short kissing session she grabbed her change of clothes from her bag as he admired the view.

"Aubrey, stop staring. It's rude." He chuckled and gently tapped her ass as he moved from the back seat of the car and climbed back into the front.

"You had this car shakin' forreal." He smirked.

"Shut up!" She flicked the side of his face as she too moved back to the front of the car, zipping up her knee highs and running her fingers through her tousled hair when she got into the passenger seat properly. He stared at her for a while, that smile was just, everything to him. And those dimples, he couldn't even explain. He knew this was slightly wrong, she worked for him and he was basically selling her, not to mention her only being 19. But he really did feel something for her. And it was growing stronger with each minute they spent together. "Hellooo? Aubrey? I thought we were in a rush?" He just smiled back making her start smiling too. "What?"

"Nothin'. You ready?" He asked making her look down sadly.

"Yeah, Just go get it over with I guess." He placed his hand under chin making her look his way.

"Hey, it'll be fine. If anything happens, call me. I'll wait outside to pick you up." If he could tell her to give this up and come live with him, he would but his father wouldn't allow that. This was his business, Drake managed it for him but nobody ever told his father how to run the business. Drake was just as poor as Nicki. His job initially was to recruit girls but now he was the full time boss, Nicki never understood why people were afraid of him, he was always so sweet to her. He kissed her again before starting the car and driving them to the address. She climbed out apprehensively as he smiled and pointed to the direction he would be waiting for her making sure she knew and wasn't going to go wandering the streets looking for him, dressed the way she was. As soon as he jetted off she turned to walk down the street and managed to somehow drop her bag and spill everything on to the side walk.

"For fucks sake!" She bent down as gracefully as she could in her barely there dress and sky high boots. Until a hand made her jump.

"Here let me help you." She rose to her feet as he did and almost died when she looked the man in the face. "Onika?!"
