Ours For The Taking

Chapter 24: annaversary

I'm supposed to get flowers, and we were supposed to go on a trip to some other country for 3 days and love each other. Today was supposed to be special. But now it can't be, and it's all my fault.

I forced myself out of bed, and walked down to the kitchen. I guess I'll just lie low today, what's to celebrate? I checked my phone for texts from Safaree...I don't know why I thought he would say anything to me. When I unlocked my phone, a calender notification popped up.

Anniversary <3

I guess I forgot to delete that.

Meek was downstairs and he knew what today was. "Hey.." He said, unsure if I was eager to talk or not. I took a deep sigh and replied, "Hey babe. You made me breakfast?" I scanned my eyes over the plethora of food on the counter. "Yea. I hope you're hungry."

I smiled, honestly, at the sound of his voice. It was soft, but rugged at the same time.

He asked me a question as he fixed me a plate. "Are you ready for tour?"

I had completely forgot about tour. It's starting on the 16th. It was almost canceled, after Day Day got his life taken, everyone kinda gave up. It's so different without him, a giant piece of my crew was ripped away so quickly. But the show must go on. Both the European and American Tour will go on in his memory.

"Yea." I finally answered, nervously putting my arms over my chest. "You're okay.." He hugged me tightly and I broke down into tears. "C-come on..We have to go to my fitting." I sucked it up, pauz, and went upstairs.

While at the fitting, I got a text from Safaree. "Happy anniversary. 11 years of loving each other with all we got." It said. He tells me that every year...

I became confused, and I was tempted to text back. He'll see that I read it. He'll know I saw it, and I didn't reply. "Nicki! Your first outfit is ready to be fitted." My assistant told me. I nodded, and looked back at my phone. I put it down without replying, and ran to the fitting room.

"Okay...arms up." Rushka told me, so I raised my arms quickly. She put the big dress over my head and zipped it up in the back. I had to hold the top up so i wouldn't be exposed. "mm mm mm...it's not fitting." She sighed, and I rolled my eyes. It wasn't too small this time, it was too big.
I had lost too much weight.

I laughed, because I was sure all that breakfast I ate this morning would make me gain 20 pounds. "Okay we need...3 inches off the right under arm. Take one inch off the breast area, and her big butt doesn't need that much space, take off 2 inches down there please." Rushka looked up at the tailor. "Are you listening?" She cocked her head to the left. "Yes, 2 inches. Continue." He says. I looked down on his notepad and he had all the information Rushka had said.

"Good god how tall do you think she is? I'm gonna need a good 5 inches off the bottom."

I giggled, and the tailor put pins in the dress and drew markings so he knew where to cut. After they were done with that one, I went to the dressing room and looked at all the other costumes. This is gonna take forever...

(4 HOURS LATER)

I finally got back home, and it was time for rehearsal. "Meek let's go!" I yelled. He came downstairs, right when the driver pulled up outside. We went out there and got in the Black Range Rover.

I got on twitter and saw Safaree had tweeted back after what I had said earlier about our anniversary.

@SCAFFBEEZY: im not gonna front like i dnt kno wht today woulda been i hope ur happy and wish u nothing but the best.. luv u 4ever. no love lost.

I smiled and felt a tears form in my eyes. "What?" Meek looked over to me. He read the tweet and clenched his jaw bone. "Oh...it's okay..don't worry about that." He hugged me and one of my tears fell on his jacket.

Safaree is much better at cheering me up.

When we got to rehearsal, Macaiah called me. "Hold on guys I gotta answer this right quick."

I ran outside and answered.

"Hey Caiah!"

"Hey Nika! Happy anniversary."

"Caiah..."

"What? Oh yea...I forgot."

"Why would you say that!?"

"I forgot! I'm sorry!"

"No you did that shit on purpose! You always do! Get mom on the phone." I calmed down. "No."

"Caiah get mom on the phone."

"Why don't just call her!? You never call anyway!!"

It got silent. "Why would you say that?" A tear ran down my face and I sniffled. "Sorry...I didn't mean to.."

"No. It's whatever..." I hung up. Tears started streaming down my face. He's right. I haven't talked to my mom since..my birthday. And now it's March.

I ran into the building and straight into the girls bathroom. I started crying in front of the mirror. Why did I do this to myself? I don't know what to do.

I wiped my tears and ruined my makeup..great. Meek ran in and saw me crying. He pulled me into a hug and kissed my head. He rested his hand on my butt, and I pushed him away. "How would that make me feel better? Asshole." I wiped my tears one more time and walked out of the bathroom.
