“Ohwhatever” Nicki laughed.
“Do you haveanything to do today?”
“Nope, but Iwant you to meet some people so I was thinking about having a little gettogether?”

Drake POV
I had told people to arrive at ourplace around 8:00. I didn’t want it to last too late, just a gathering forpeople to get to finally meet Nicki that haven’t been able to. I loved showingher off. Damn. I went upstairs to check on her. It was 7:50 and people would bearriving at our doorstep soon enough. I knocked on the door. I don’t know why.I’ve seen her half naked before, hell I’ve seen her naked. Just the gentlemanin me I guess. When I went in she was dressed. She had on this knee high tightfitted skirt. It was a peach color. Knowing Nicki she’d tell me the exact color or some shit. She had on a crème jacket with it though and a crème shirt underthat jacket tucked in and she had on some bad ass gold chain and some crèmeheels, which I’m sure she’d tell me the exacts.
She lookedat me in the mirror when I popped up behind her. She was fixing her chain.
“Hey babe”she smiled.
“How do Ilook?” She did like a little spin. She looked bad ass. I hope no one triedhitting on her. Or I’d find out who my real friends in the game were.
“You lookgreat Nic”
“Like myheels?” Nicki kicked her shoes up.
I looked a little closer. Earlier I just took a glance.“Aren’t those the shoes I bought you?”
“Versacepumps to be exact! My first pair, I never wore them I had nothing to go withthem”
“Well, I’mglad you decided to wear them tonight” I smiled at her and looked at myselfagain. I had on some Jordans and a black polo tee. I always kept it simple.Nicki’s short ass came up behind me while I was in the mirror and wrapped hertiny little arms around my frame. She walked in front of me and rubbed herhands through my curls then brought it to the stubble on my face.
“I love youDrake.”
“Love youmore babe”
After I said that I heard thedoorbell ring Nicki and I both headed downstairs. She fixed up some of the foodlaid out on the kitchen island and the drinks. I opened the door to see Treystanding on the other side with Kelly his girlfriend. Trey and I went way back.
“Aye man!”He said we did a quick guy hug before he walked in I hugged Kelly also. Icalled for Nicki she was still in the kitchen.
“NICCCCC!”
“Yes babe,I’m coming” I heard her heels clicking and she showed up next to me.
“Hi, youmust be Trey. Drake told me about you”
“Yes, andnah Drake always talks about you! All the time, all the time he never shuts up”Trey just kept going on and on. Nicki started blushing. I smirked.
“This is mygirlfriend Kelly” Trey said introducing her to Nicki.
“Oh my gosh,I want your body” Kelly said taking Nicki’s hands and twirling her around.
“Aw…you’reso tiny” Nicki said giggling.
“Yeah but you're really short!” Kelley laughed.

As the night went on more people arrived, Drake introducedNicki to the whole YMCMB. Wayne adored her as did his girlfriend Dhea; theytalked most of the night. Drake rarely talked to Nicki in the mix of about 50people. Nicki was in the kitchen setting out more food and Drake walked intothe kitchen and trapped her against the counter.
“Baaaaabe,we have guests. Move” Nicki said smiling up at Drake.
“There’sthat smiled” Drake took her by the hand and snuck her into the laundry roomdown the hall.
“Draaaake,they’ll notice we’re gone”
“I justwanna kiss” He puckered his lips and Nicki tried just pecking them but Drakepulled her in and put her on top of the dryer he rolled her skirt up and stoodin between her legs while they enjoyed a steamy makeout session.
Nicki left the laundry room first.
Nicki POV
“Hey Nic,where’s Drizzy?” Lil Wayne, well he wanted me to call him Wayne and insisted oncalling me Nic. Drake did too sometimes so it didn’t bother me.
“He’ssomewhere I around here” I laughed trying to walk away. He called me over tosit with YM instead. I sat down and was greeted so warmly.
“Hey twin!”a man named Jay but goes by Gudda Gudda called me over. I was his twin sister.How funny.
“Hey Barbie”Mac Maine and Birdman called me that. They said I was so pretty I looked like alittle black Barbie doll. But they insisted on be calling them Mac & Baby.Everyone called them that. YM did a good job at making me feel like a part oftheir musical family. There was also a skinny light skinned very tatted boy by the name of Tyga, he was really sweet and kinda quiet. He just smiled and waved at me.
There was also this guy that waswith them, he wasn’t in YM though. He was sort of light skinned. Tall, he hadon a fitted and a tee. He looked exactly like my best friend back in New Yorkbut sort of different. I hadn’t talked to him since I left. He was really upsetabout me leaving. Gosh I missed him, even being with Drake, he was the only onethat understood me, maybe more than I understood myself. I couldn’t put myfinger on what it was but we just kept staring at each other. Drake came by,saw me mingling and he sat next to me.
“Hey, what’sup?”
“Nothing,Young Money is just being very friendly” I smiled.
“Okay, I’llleave you here and go talk to 40 and CJ and them real quick. With that he left.
“So…” I saidtapping my nails on my knees.
“So Nic,how’d you meet up with Drizz?”
“The wholestory?”
“Yeah, wewanna know”
“Well…I wasin Toronto with my girlfriends; we were going to his show up there while onvacation. I ran into Drake at the airport, literally. We dropped phones; I tookhis he took mine. I ended up meeting up at his moms house and he welcomed me infor like dinner and everything. His mom is the sweetest. Then we switchedphones and he asked for my number. We kept in touch a lot we met up and haddates when he flew out to NY, one day he wanted to make it official so…we did,I moved in with him a month or 2 later and here we are” I smiled after tellingthe whole story little did I know everyone was listening attentively. Not justYoung Money, I heard “awwwes” “he’s so sweet” and a bunch of “how cute’s”.
The night began winding down it wasnow damn near 1:00 in the morning. Everyone was gone by 1:00. We said ourgoodbyes and Drake and I headed upstairs he had a meeting with YM in Miami thenext day.
“So, how wasit? How did everyone treat you?” He asked me as I started slipping off myjacket and bottoms. My shoes were long gone because my feet started hurtingearlier in the night.
“They wereall very nice, everyone. I’ve made a few girlfriends and more family, becausethat’s what YM refers to me as” I laughed.
“Well,that’s good. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself” He kissed me and headed to thebathroom to brush. I followed after him clad in bra and panty. Drake stared atme in the mirror with a devilish look on his face. He spit washed his face andput his tooth brush down.
“Tonight?” He smirked at me. Ugh. I hated when he put me on the spot like that.
“Sure baby…”I grinned and before I knew it I was thrown over his shoulder and laid acrossthe bed. It didn’t take him long to get started.

The next morning Nicki awoke to aknock on the door. Drake had been long gone. When he didn’t say by he alwaysleft her a note so she looked around the house for it wrapped in her robe. Theknocks on the door grew louder.
“Hold on!”Nicki said walking faster to the door. She looked out the peep hole and saw her“best friend look alike” standing on the other side.
“Um, hi?What brings you here?”
“Can I comein?” He asked.
“Sure…”Nicki stepped aside and allowed the stranger to walk in.
“I needed totalk to you Nic” Nicki froze, she recognized his voice so much.
“Safaree?”
“Yes…I…Ithought you forgot about me”
“Oh mygoodness no, I couldn’t forget my best friend” Nicki threw her arms around himand he hugged her back picking her up.
“How did youget over here? How did you meet Young Money?”
“I’ll tellyou all about it if you let me take you out to lunch?” He asked more of aquestion and not a statement. Nicki pondered the idea and thought, “what could go wrong?”
“I thinkthat’ll be fine, when?”
“Today…I’vegotta get back to NY tomorrow”
“Oh…okay,that’ll be fine I guess” Nicki looked at the clock it was 11:00.
“What time?”
“As quick asyou get ready we’ll go Nic, well you don’t get ready quick but yeah, I’ll bedown here”
“Okay Faree”Nicki said before heading up the steps to her room.
Nicki finished getting dressed about1 and a half hour later. She returned downstairs in an American Flag jeanjacket, khaki colored pants, silver sneakers and a white tank under her jeanjacket. Her hair was straight long black hair and she was wearing a bang.
“You lookcute Nic”
“Thanks, sodo you” She looked up and smiled at him.
“So, wegonna go now?” She asked opening the front door for Safaree and she walked outafter him locking it behind her.
The got into Safaree’s rental carand drove down to Hollywood Blvd. They went to eat at a local grill place. Theyhad a lot of catching up to do.
“So…how’s itbeen, I haven’t seen or heard from you in months”
“I’ve beengood…it’s been good. I’ve missed you a lot. I don’t want you to think I forgotabout you or anything Safaree because I haven’t. You just didn’t take meleaving really well so I didn’t…I didn’t know what to do. I just stoppedtalking to you all together and I really regret that because you’re one of thebest friends I’ve ever had and I can’t say I’d be who I am today without you”
“Nic, youdon’t have to spill your guts to me right now. We’re both pretty much wrong. Iwas being stubborn. I didn’t bother trying to keep in touch with you because myfeelings were hurt. Back then I was really upset that you left. See…when wefirst started talking way back when I just thought you were cool enough to kickit…But ya know Nic, when you left I realized it was more than likingyou it was more than thinking you were cool. You became who I wanted to be with,I was sure you felt the same way, you acted like it and then that night...Butthen you had other options and other choices and a new life and before you toldme you were dating I was gonna tell you how I felt. You were so beautifulinside and out and I wanted a girl like that. Now I don’t mean to just spill myfeelings out like this cause that ain’t me…I just thought you should know”
Nicki was incomplete shock. “Safaree…I’m…I’m so sorry…that night I don’t…I don’t know” Nickibegan getting teary eyed.
“Nah, don’tbe. Let’s lighten the mood, let me tell you how I met up with Mac & Wayneand them…I was in Miami at LIV one night. They called me into the V.I.P. andlet me kick it with them. First I was just like great opportunity for me to getsome dirt on Drake then them niggas became my brothers. I did find out aboutDrake cause he’s down with them or whatever but yeah he’s cool. I don’t hangwith them on a daily tho…”
“Aw, that’scool. But we need to talk about that other thing you were talking about…”
Since you think I don’tlove you I just thought you were cute…
“YeahNic…hold on the waitress is back with our drinks”
“Hi, can Itake your orders?”
“Um…I’lljust have a salad…” Nicki said not taking her eyes off of Safaree.
“I’ll haveyour famous burger…”
“Okay,coming right up. I’ll take your menus” and with that she left.
“No…”Nicki’s face broke.
“Oh…”
“I DID, butI moved on. I needed to let you be happy if I was gonna continue to be a goodfriend whether we talked as if we were good friends or not. I still got lovefor you Nicki, I always did and I always will. I’m no longer in love with you”
“I’ll takeit…I love you too Safaree” and she flashed him her million dollar smile. Sheknew what happened the night Safaree was talking about but she tried so hard tokeep it out of her brain because she felt it was wrong.
The couple finished their lunch andwent for a walk around the outside Drake’s large home. They talked about oldtimes and caught up on new stuff. A few hours went by and Safaree decided tosay bye to Nicki, give him her number and head to get some rest before hismorning flight back to the Big Apple. As Safaree was leaving the driveway andgetting in his car down the streets a little Drake was arriving back home.Nicki was in the kitchen getting dinner started.
“Hey babe”she greeted Drake as he walked in the house.
“Hey…who’sthat, that was just walking down our driveway?” Drake asked curiously.
“Oh…SB”
“That’s whatI thought...how do you know him?” Drake asked coming into the kitchen leaningon the wall.
“Safaree ismy best friend…he has been for years. But when you moved me out here…I kindajust left and we didn’t keep in touch and we fell apart. Then last night I sawhim and then he came by this morning and asked if we could go out and catch upand we hung out all day…”
“Oh, that’sit? He didn’t try to make a move on you or anything?”
“NoDrake…don’t be jealous. Remember, he’s just my best friend. Nothing is gonnahappen between us. Any feelings he had for me were gone long ago…”
“Okay,babe…whatcha cooking?”
“Stewchicken and rice. The chicken is already cooking. It should be done in 30mins”
“Soundsgood, I’ma go get changed” Drake went upstairs and returned in some sweats andone of his OVO shirts.
“Watch thisrice, the chicken is done”
Nicki went upstairs to wash up andget comfortable. She threw on one of Drake’s OVO shirts that was clearly toobig for her and some pink socks. The food was shortly finished and they beganeating. Once finished eating they were both pretty tired so they headedupstairs for bed.
In the middle of the night Nickiwoke up deep in thought. She kept out a great detail about her and Safaree’spast relationship. It was true that they were best friends but that friendshipwas tested at one point to be somewhat more than that. She didn’t want to ruinher relationship with him by keeping things from him even though she wasn’t sosure he didn’t keep things from her.
She had totell him she decided to wake him up.
“Drake…”
“Uh…um” helooked at the clock on his nightstand: 3:00am.
“Nic, it’s 3am I’m sure it can wait til morning”
“What if youhave something to do, I think I really should tell you this now, it’s notletting me sleep and I want us to have an honest relationship. It slipped mymind when we first started dating but Safaree came and reminded me why I left himwithout properly saying goodbye or keeping in touch…”
“Nicki,baby…really it can wait I’m tired”
“No, Drake,it can’t wait. I need to tell you now.”
“Back whenwe first started dating, before I was moving in with you and it becameofficially official. Safaree and I…”
“You what?”Drake asked sitting up.
“We uh…wewere at his house and we wanted to spend time together before I left. I didn’ttell him where I was going or when it happened to be 2 days before I you cameand got me. We had sex…I’m so sorry. But then the next morning I left. Hecalled and called and I just couldn’t face him…I felt so ashamed that I’d dosomething like that to you, it’s just I don’t know…”
“Babe…don’tcry…don’t cry” Drake began holding Nicki. Part of him was furious and part ofhim knew he needed to give Nicki time to fully explain what happened.
“You’re notmad? I practically cheated on you. Safaree he was just…there, I think lust tookover and I had a little to drink I didn’t think that would do anything but,ughhh”
“It’s okay,I see where you’re coming from and I’m not entirely upset with you. It’s fineNicki, we weren’t exactly together it’s fine…”
“I think Iowe him such a big apology, and we need to talk this out because I still fillreally icky and heartless inside”
“It’s okayNicki…shhh...”
“I feel likeI broke his heart…just like I had mine broken before I even met Safaree. Boyyy,I wanted to kill him. I can’t believe he found it in his heart to forgive me…”
“He movedon…when you move on you have to forgive…you don’t have to forget”
Drake said.“Plus you guys were best friends before all of that right?”
“Yeah…thanksbabe. Sorry to wake you I just had to say that. It was stuck in my brain”
“It’s fineNic, I love you…we all make mistakes and I love you too much to be mad at youfor a mistake...”
