Masquerade: A Nicki Minaj Romance

Masquerade: Chapter Five

I panicked when I discovered there was only one shoe on the display table. I looked under it around it, everywhere it could possibly be. Then I spotted someone doing the same thing, almost wrecking the entire store. I turn to her and see her cradling the shoe in her right arm. She had a panicked look on her face and I noticed that she saw me watching her and saw I had the other shoe she was totally destroying the store for. I looked at her took my earrings out and asked her for the shoe back. She refused. I grabbed for the shoe, but she was fast a got it out of the way. Usually I would just back off, but these were perfect for my dress, everything about them were perfect for my dress. I want to look perfect for Drake, I need him to think I look beautiful. I ask again very politely for the shoe. The girl is very rude and refused to give me the shoe. Finally I call an attendant over and I ask if they have another pair in the back, to avoid drama. To my annoyance the attendant replied "No, unfortunately these are one of a kind". I asked "How much do they cost?". I thought that would make the girl drop it like its hot, hopefully she couldn't afford it. They politely replied "$1,000". I was shocked, but I was willing to pay, if I could get Drake's attention, any price was worth it. The girl said "I ain't givin them to you". I think to myself "oh my fucking god. I'm seriously gonna hurt this bitch if she doesn't give me the fucking shoes". Trying to avoid a full on fight I say "Hun, I have a dress that is perfect for the shoes and I'm trying to impress a boy, please please please give them to me? I need them for a party". She looked like she was considering all the facts and was deciding on whether to d the write thing or not. Anxiously I waited patiently for her reply when she finally started talking I tensed and waited to hear an answer. She started "I will give you the shoe..." I released a breath I was holding ever since she started making me anxious. She continued "If you take me to the party with you".

This was a problem, Drake said A guest not as many guests as you want. She wouldn't be an embarrassment to take its just, I didn't want to push it with Drake. She said "Well?" Waiting for my answer. I hesitantly answer "I'll.... Ill see what I can do" I said with an annoyed tone. She gave me a sassy smirk and I call Drake as she hands me the shoe.

His perfect deep voice answers after 5 rings "Hello?" He says. I reply quickly explaining the situation, leaving out the shoe part, saying "Hey Drake! I was wondering if it would be a proble, if I brought me plus 2 people, or would that be totally inappropriate?". He took a second to think and he replied "Naw it shouldn't be a problem, Nicki. Anything for you!". Nicki blushed, I was very thankful that he couldn't see me. I replied thankfully with a "Aww thanks Drakie! I owe you!"

I turn to the girl and explain to her that she can go as long as she has the proper attire. I exchange numbers with her, take my shoes, replace my earrings back in my ears, and go back to my friends
