Chapter 18
In Love We Trust

Los Angeles, California

(Nicki and Sherika arrive in Los Angeles a week before the tour.

The weather is drastically different from Philadelphia.

Nicki, Sherika, and her manager Manny are out in Malibu at Nobu enjoying a lunch over the ocean. Despite the intriguing conversation, the only think on Nicki's mind is Meek.)

Manny: "So H&M reached out to us, about doing a collection..."

Nicki: "oh okay, sounds good" (seemingly casual)

Sherika: "what... JUST good? That's amazing!"

Nicki: "no, it is, super dope....dope.." (looking down at her phone)

Manny: "you good Nicki?"

Nicki: "what? ...nothing, why you say that?"

Sherika: "it's Meek.."

Manny: "Ahhhh, girl problems.."(jokingly)

Sherika: "but Manny listen, she's mad about some old jail letters she found"

Manny: "Oh yea, that's hood gold..... what'd they say?"

Nicki: "Sherika...... WELL.... they were just letters from his exes, but from a few months ago.."

Manny: "every nigga ever been locked up got them letters"

Nicki: "yea, but its hurts when you see YOUR baby.... Calling someone else baby..."

Manny: "sometimes as men, we do dumb shit.... But most of the time if we say something we mean it... if he say he done with them then shit that's what it is"

Sherika: "right"

Manny: "cus you know I know Meek, I've known him since he was a young nigga and he one of the realest in the game... that I've met

Nicki: "no he is, that's why he was my bae-bee..." (in her baby voice)

Sherika: "he still is.... You just playing... but don't play too long..."

(Manny covers the bill and leaves before they finish lunch. As Nicki and Sherika are leaving the restaurant they are approached by paparazzi, TMZ, ActiveNLA and other news outlets)

ActiveNLA: "Is it true that your dating rapper Meek Mill?"

TMZ: "Nicki are you taking Meek on a sexy hip hop tour with you?"

TMZ #2: "Nicki have you heard Safaree's diss record?!"

ActiveNLA: "is it true Safaree wrote your music?"

LAlive: "Nicki we heard you moved out of your Beverly hills mansion and are moving to LA!"

ActiveNLA: "Nicki, Who are you going with Young Money or Cash money?!"

(She pushes through the paparazzi to her Maybach which is parked out front)

Nicki: "see, I love LA... I just don't love the paps..."

Sherika: "All the way out in Malibu too"

Nicki: "uggh, girl... and what they talkin bout is irrelevant"

Sherika: "Safaree diss record tho?" (they laugh hysterically)

Nicki: "I know he's out here"
