Forbidden Desires

2 - Ready? Set, Action

5th September 2012

- Nicki's POV

It has been two months since Nicki and Justin released Beauty and A Beat in June, which debuted at #72 on Billboard. It was off to a great start, and now they needed to release the music video which would increase the hype around the single and make it increase on the charts.

Nicki was now at the airport getting ready to fly to LA. She had asked if Safaree could be in the video, but Scooter had told her that wouldn't be necessary, so he stayed at home. She wished he had come along because her nerves had been high the whole evening and couldn't sleep well.

Justin had texted her the night before to tell her that the location was at a waterpark, and Nicki was annoyed because she couldn't swim. What if they expected her to swim?!

"Onika, your jet is ready," Tomas, her bodyguard, told her, interrupting her thoughts. She thanked him and got up with her assistant, Natalia, and walked to her plane. Once settled in, she wanted to close her eyes, but her manager, Marc, who came along too, wouldn't let her.

"Okay, Nic, Scooter told us what the storyline is. What is going to happen is that first, they'll pretend that personal footage was stolen. Then when the thief illegally uploads the video, we see Justin dancing at the waterpark with dancers behind him. And then you'll come eventually rapping your verse with him."

"Am I going to be in the pool?" She asked.

"I don't think so, Nic. Let's get there first so they can tell us the full plan. Right now let's make sure to get to the hotel first, get our bags, and then go over the outfits, hair, and makeup for the music video with the team. The shoot is in two days, so we have no time to waste." Marc said.

Nicki nodded, and then she closed her eyes. The next thing she knew, Natalia was waking her up, and they were landing in LA. After she got her luggage, they got to the hotel and started discussing with their team what was going to happen.

7th September

- Justin's POV

It was the day of the music video shoot, and everyone was running around preparing for the big day. Justin had already shot some scenes for his verses himself on the GoPro Hero, he just needed to do the choreography with the backup dancers and some extra scenes, and then of course do Nicki's part with her.

Justin couldn't believe he would be making a video with Nicki Minaj, but she did bring good talent, making the video more memorable. As he was in the chair getting prepped, Justin's mind drifted to his current relationship with Selena. Things weren't looking good right now as they had yet another huge fight in the morning.

When Selena heard Nicki shout her out on the song, she was so happy and her mood changed thus Justin thought everything was going in a better direction. But now a break-up was imminent, and honestly, he wasn't too fazed by the idea. Right now it's obvious that being together would just create endless arguments and he just needs some peace right now. He wants to fix it but maybe some space would do them both some good. However, he hated leaving on bad terms, so he decided to text Selena to apologize. 'Hey babe, I'm sorry for the way I acted this morning. Let me take you out for dinner to make it up to you.'

Suddenly his hairstylist snapped his fingers, "Earth to Justin," Mario said.

"What?" Justin replied, putting his phone away.

"You weren't listening to what I was saying, is everything okay?" Mario asked, looking at Justin.

"Yeah, sorry man, I'm just nervous about today," Justin admitted. "I don't know what Nicki and I are going to do during her verse."
