Chapter 9: Everything Else Can Wait

Chapter 9
Everything Else Can Wait

New York City

(Nicki and her team arrive on red eye flight from Philadelphia at 5:30 am. She heads straight to a private studio in Soho where she has a press photo shoot scheduled for the Pink Print tour. Nicky is cranky and upset because Meek was still at the studio and didn't see her off when she left. He text her an apology but she didn't respond. She goes into full focus mode and blocks off all distractions)

Photog Assistant: "Nicki darling were ready for you in 15" (In a thick british accent)

(The set is busy, there are at least 30 people running around frantically. They work to set up 4 different sets and looks to be completed. Nicki has the usual glam squad at hand: Hair: Oscar, Styling: Rushka, MUA: Sheika)

Oscar: "Yass Queen you better slay this shoot today" (putting the finishing touches on her high ponytail)

Nicki: (pouting) "Osssssscar, my love, I don't like this" (she looks in the mirror and points to her ponytail)

Oscar: "whats wrong with it?"

Nicki: "I don't know.... I think it should be higher..."

Oscar: "Let me see" (he starts to change some things around)......

(Sherika is sitting in the corner next to Rushka. She is looking at her phone when she cuts into the conversation)

Sherika: "somebodys cran-kyyyy this mornin" (she says playfully)

Nicki: "me?!, how Sherika, HOW?"

Sherika: (pouring her a glass of Myx) "here.. have this" (laughing)

Nicki: "you not gonna tell me?" (grabbing the glass) .... "Im serious how?!"

Sherika: (nods her head yes)

Nicki: "Rushka, im being cranky?" (rushka just smiles and says nothing)... "Oscar! Im being cranky?" ....(she turns to look at him)

Oscar: "no queen, you just in boss mode..... .Ima get you right"

Sherika: "her man aint here.." (she mumbles under her breath)

Nicki: "wait... what? " (laughing) .. "why you say that?"

Sherika: "I can tell you missing that D"

Nicki: "oooh uhhh uhhh" (in her ghetto voice) "but...." (growls)

Oscar: "Oop..." (he pretends to sip tea)

(4 hours pass and Nicki is wrapping up the 2nd look. She's exhausted, hungry and grumpy. She heads back to the dressing area where Sherika is sitting by herself looking at her phone. She looks up when she feels Nicki enter the room and puts her phone face side down)

Nicki: (casually) "what you hiding Sherika" (sitting in her chair)

Sherika: "you don't even wanna know ...." (shes shaking her head)

Nicki: "what is it?" (now shes seriously concerned)

Sherika: (taking a deep breath)... "hes acting out again"

Nicki: "Safaree?" (a look of disgust on her face) .... "what now?" (she reaches to grab the phone)
