Chapter 34: Brotherly Love

Part 2, Chapter 34
Brotherly Love

Miami, Florida

(Meek had made it back to Miami to finish working on the album. Not even a full day had passed but he and Nicki had been talking every hour and missing each other more than ever. She was relaxing in her suite in London and approaching the 02 hr. 13 min mark on her call with Meek. They were arguing about her returning to the states on her 2-day break from tour. It was Calah's birthday and Nicki had promised him she'd be with him in New York but she also had an Obligation, as his fiancé, to spend time with Meek in Miami. He took a break from recording and paced around the lounge of the Studio with his phone to his ear.)

Nicki: "I don't know... I feel like that's going to be doing too much, then I have to do the tidal press conference"

Meek: "how is that too much Nick?"

Nicki: "I'm going to be exhausted, London, New York, Miami, then back to New York in 2 days. I don't know Rihmeem"

Meek: "so what you saying?"

Nicki: "I'm saying, just come to New York"

Meek: "I can't Nick, I told you, I got a show and I already cancelled with this promoter for Paris, I can't cancel twice"

Nicki: "uggh" (frustrated) "baby"

Meek: "No Nick, you got make it work...you know I'll do anything for you ...but this outta my hands"

Nicki: "So what am I supposed to tell Caiah? Huh? Drop in on his party for an hour then leave?"

Meek: "Nah.. let him spend his birthday out here."

Nicki: (chuckles) "No way.... And have him thinking he grown out in Miami? Plus my mother is not going for that"

Meek: "I'll bring him out here, mom too, it'll be cool"

Nicki: "Meek?"

Meek: "what... I'm for real, let me handle it"

Nicki: "you're going to try and convince my MOTHER...my mother to let Caiah..." (she stops herself) "you know what...I'd like to see this"

Meek: "I got it... don't worry... you just kill your show tonight"

Nicki: "you're serious?"

Meek: "Yes... you trust me?"

Nicki: "of course"

Meek: "You love me?"

Nicki: "yes I love you"

Meek: "then let me take care of it"

Nicki: "oh ... kay....."

(When he hung up he realized he may have talked himself into something he couldn't pull off. He barely knew Carol, but he did know she was a strong willed woman, no pushover. His confidence soon turned to nervousness when he read her Contact Number in a text Nicki sent to him. She was still not aware of the engagement so he had to be careful not to reveal or say too much.

He nervously dialed her number and she answered on the 3rd ring. Her thick Trini accent was intimidating but intriguing.)

Carol: "Hello, dis ah Carol"

Meek: (he muttered) "H-hey... Ms. Carol?"

Carol: "Yes wo ah dis"

Meek: "This is Robe-... well Meek... how you doing?" (regaining his confidence)
