Turning Tides

Los Angeles, CA

(The late afternoon approaches and Nicki is exhausted. She and Meek had a long night but her day had just begun. She arrives back to her penthouse suite to find Sherika sprawled out on the living room sofa with a waste bin near her head, sprite, and crackers.

She is immediately concerned and runs to be by her side)

Nicki: "Sherika, what is you goin thru?"

Sherika: (lifting her head up) "hey Nick..."

Nicki: "What's goin' on lady bug?" (sitting on the sofa) "You had too much to drink?

Sherika: "basically."

Nicki: "you were good when we left"
Sherika: "I was, but then I got to drinking back at meek hotel with them and yea..."

Nicki: (She rubs Sherika's head) "now you know you ain't about DAT life!"

Sherika: "I be forgetting........... but where did YALL disappear to?!" (Nicki is grinning from ear to ear) ..."oh gosh, spill it"

Nicki: (sighs) "it was SO sweet Sherika, seriously...it was PERFECT"

Sherika: "ok, so..."

Nicki: "We had.... a pic-nic . On a private beach"

Sherika: (sitting up) "y'all had SEX on the beach?!"

Nicki: "a PICNIC!(laughing).....but yes and it was everything!"

Sherika: "Aww, y'all are in LOVE"

Nicki: "he always comes through with something perfect at the perfect time.... Like I was so down about seeing you know who... and here he comes with this romantic unexpected evening..."

Sherika: "He always does cute little stuff like that for you, kudos to Meek he's doing good.... Did you tell him about Safaree?"

Nicki: "No, tell him what?"

Sherika: "that y'all still communicate, about him calling you spazzin like he's been?"

Nicki: "...there's nothing to tell"

Sherika: "Oh okay..."

Nicki: "I don't even want to think about him let alone bring him up to Meek"

Sherika: "do you miss him?"

Nicki: "honestly, NO, but its weird not having him around... like this will be my FIRST tour EVER without him... everyone is USE to having him around..."

Sherika: "yea he did a lot for us but not having him around may be better"

Nicki: "yea Maybe..." (she gets up off the sofa) "you gonna be good to go meet with the director tonight?"

Sherika: "I doubt it..."

Nicki: "alright, I'm gonna lay down and just rest my eyes, do NOT let me oversleep"

Sherika: "45 minutes"

Nicki: "and Please call Rushka and Manny and confirm"

(There's always a full schedule when Nicki is in LA, she's used to not sleeping but this trip was different. She gets in her room and lays directly on the king size bed. She closes her eyes but cant seem to fall asleep. Her instagram notifications are going crazy. Her fans had tagged her in a video clip of Safaree rapping his new song where Nicki's face came up on the background. She decides to scroll past it.
