Chapter 11: Two Stars Colliding

Chapter 11
Two Stars Colliding

Los Angeles, CA

(LA is beautiful this time of year. Meek and Nicki get dressed for their day of house shopping. Meek is dressed in white short sleeve Versace t-shirt, white jeans, and white Balenciaga sneakers. Nicki wears a yellow BCBG dress, her hair down and curled with an open toe Monika Chiang lace up sandal. They wear their matching ABWAH engraved necklaces.

Meek takes Nicki to brunch at Fig and Olive, a popular paparazzi hang out in LA because of its celebrity clientele. It's somewhere Nicki always wanted to try but never could because Safaree preferred to be lowkey. It was always take-out, business dates, netflix nights and heavy security with him.

Nicki could enjoy the fruits of her labor with Meek. He didn't care what people thought of him which Nicki admires. Ditching security, heavy PDA, and keeping a smile on her face was what he was all about.

They meet up with a popular celebrity real estate agent and look at a few homes. Nicki's taste is more modest. Meek wants to a 10br mansion in the Hollywood hills, while Nicki would like a 4 bedroom in the secluded mountains. They agree to look at a 6 bedroom, 5 bath home on Mulholland Drive, address to stars such as Kanye West & Bruce Willis)

Meek: (pulling her towards him) "come here Nick..." (pointing out the window) "the view is crazy...."

Nicki: "yea. its nice...." (coldly)

(Feelings of uncertainty overwhelm her. Is she moving too fast? Is this the right direction to move in. she doesn't voice her concerns to Meek)

Meek: "let us talk and we'll let you know" (dismissing the Agent) ... " so what you think... you can see us here? (he walks into the kitchen) "you right here... papi can have that room... our lil girl..." (mapping out the space)

Nicki: "yea.... Why not?" (she cant help but think about her gated private home she once shared with Safaree)

Meek: "whats wrong? You don't like this one?"

Nicki: "no I love it.." (lying) . .. " but i know TMZ will be here every damn day"

Meek: "they don't wanna do that with us again..." (laughing)

(The previous Night upon arrival in Los Angeles, Nicki and Meek dined at Katsuya where they were rushed by TMZ. Meek made light of the annoying situation by Joking around with the Paps.

Nicki roams off to the Master Bedroom and looks at the massive walk in closet. She thinks back on the time she caught Safaree cheating and she destroyed their shared closet. She bleached sneakers, furs, expensive jeans. It was a dark time.

Meek walks up behind her)

Meek: "you can have all that space... just leave me a room for Cruz to set up the studio..." (kissing her on the shoulder)

(Nicki is not saying much and Meek realizes there's something bothering her)

Meek: "there you go... worrying again...."

Nicki: "Huh" (she turns around)

Meek: "you looking back...

Nicki: "what - are -you talkin about?"

Meek: (changes subject) "nothing Nick.." (he walks away)

Nicki turns around to catch up to him

Nicki: (raising her voice) "don't do that! .....finish what you were gonna say"

Meek: "didn't I tell you I got you?" (getting upset) "I told you that right?"
