Dance For Me; A Dricki Story

Chapter 8

Nicki bit her lip before picking up her phone and dialling Lani's number. She waited for her to pick up as she mapped out what she was going to say. This had been bothering her for a while now and she knew she needed to speak about it to someone or she would never get anywhere.

Lani: hello

Nicki: hey Lani how's it going

Lani: I'm good thanks and yourself

Nicki: yeah well

Lani: what's up

Nicki: a lot. There just something I need to get off my chest right now and I have no one better to talk to it about than you

Lani: really, well I'm listening.

Lani turned off her TV and diverted her full attention to Nicki.

Nicki: well it's kind of about drake.

Lani: what's happened ?

Nicki: well you know how I told you about our situation just being one of fun and nothing serious? Well I think that's starting to catch up with me

Lani: what do you mean

She knew exactly what Nicki meant but just had to hear her say it.

Nicki: I think I'm falling for him Lani. I'm falling in love with him and I'm not liking the look of it.

Lani: Nicki Nicki Nicki. What am I gonna do with you

Nicki: I don't know Lani.

She outed and Lani chuckled because she could sense in from the other end of the phone.

Nicki: I kind of wanna let go of all of this and act like I never met him but I can't. It's like it's already too late. Like he's been in New York for the past two weeks and I can't help but think about him everyday. I find myself wondering what he's doing or whether he's thinking about me and it's all having an impact.

Lani: you're really in your feelings today aren't you

Nicki: I am, and I don't even know where it's coming from

Lani: are you sure it's him you miss or do you just miss his-

Nicki: don't finish that sentence. Believe it or not it's actually not, like we haven't slept together in almost 2 months and the time I would normally spend underneath him or maybe even on top of him, depending on my mood, is now spent talking to him and having him hold me and be affectionate and that's where all this is coming from. I'm seeing a different side of him and that side is causing me to come to terms with what I've been avoiding for the past year.

Lani: aww my sisters in love

Nicki: not helping Lani

Lani: okay, well what I have to say to you is, I told you so. You both should've seen this coming because you were playing such a dangerous game. But what I also want to ask you is, how are things on his side. Has he ever said anything to you about how he feels about you.

Nicki: not to me personally. I have a feeling he has done so to someone else but he has never said anything to me personally.

Lani: do you think he would if you asked him

Nicki: definitely not. He's not the type. He will avoid it and act like it doesn't exist for as long as he possibly can or he'll wait for me to say it first because he doesn't want to seem like the weak one.

Lani: I see, he's that type of guy

Nicki: you don't have the slightest.

Lani: well you know him best. Do you feel like you're ready to tell him that this is how you're feeling

Nicki: no. I feel like when the time comes for me to tell him, it'll just happen. Like I won't have to plan it or organise it or anything like that, it will just happen...

Drake sat in his hotel room contemplating whether he should call her or not. He hadn't spoken to her since he left LA and he had to admit that he missed her. He pressed his home button to check the time and got side tracked by her silhouette on his lock screen. In his eyes she was perfect. He knew for a fact that he didn't want nobody else but what he didn't know was how he was going to get her to stay forever.

He decided to put his pride aside and call her. He got no answer the first time and it went to voicemail. He decided to try again and this time she picked up, her angelic voice filling his ears.

Drake: hey baby girl, how are you

Nicki: I'm good thank you and yourself

Drake: I'm good, what you up to

Nicki: nothing really, I just got off the phone with Lani but that's about it.  Yourself

Drake: same old, about to link up with the boys. Have some drinks, blow some cash, you know how it is

Nicki: yeah, boys will be boys

Drake: but I'm not a boy though and you know that. Or maybe you've forgotten because it's been so long

Nicki: stop, don't talk to me like that knowing if I get in the mods there nothing you can do about it

Drake: say the word and I'll be at your doorstep

Nicki just laughed.

Drake: I'm serious. So you dancing tonight

Nicki: I am

Drake: but I don't want you to

Nicki: why not mr. Graham

Drake: because the only person you should be dancing for is me

Nicki: shame there's nothing you can do about that isn't it.

He chuckled and she bit her lip.

Drake: I fly back tomorrow. Don't try me

She laughed.

Nicki: I'll see you tomorrow then daddy.

With that she hung up and he just smirked. She was a handful and in his eyes no one could handle her better than he could.

Nicki got off stage and made her way to her dressing room. When she got there she found a big bouquet of pink roses on her dressing table. She smiled before walking over to them and taking the little card to read the messages which read:

To My Queen,
Bet you smashed it tonight.
-King xo

She smiled to herself before looking at the flowers again. She kissed her teeth before biting her lip and letting it sink in. King wasn't the the flower sending type. He wasn't the affection showing type yet she had received phone calls from him and now a bouquet of flowers. As much as she didn't want to get ahead of herself she knew all of this had to mean something....
