3 days later..
Nicki and Angela have basically been cooped up in their suite for that last few days. Most of the time they caught up on some information on this case and got more familiar with who Nasir Jones really was.
Nicki was doing better. After her little incident with Nas, she had been thinking a lot. The look in his eyes as he stared at her was something she'd never seen before. It was like he was confused as to what to do next.
She really thought he was going to shoot her. He was hurt and it showed.
"Nicki.." Angela called out but Nicki continued staring off.
"Nicki!"
Nicki looked up and Angela. "What?" She asked calmly.
"You okay? You've been zoning out all morning."
"I'm fine." Nicki said in a dry tone as she stood up from the bed. "I am hungry though."
"Yea.. me too. You wanna go get some Chinese food or something?" asked Angela as she slipped on her jacket.
"Yeah, let's do that but first I need to stop by the store down the street. I want some ice cream, been wanting some for days now." Nicki spoke as she tied her hair up in a ponytail, and slipped on her jacket also.
"Alright, we can do that." Angela walked towards the door, "Grab my keys for me?"
Nicki grabbed the keys from the dresser and tossed them to her as the walked out.

Angela pulled up to the little corner store. There were a bunch of men hanging around out front, conversing and laughing, and smoking.
There was about 5 all black cars parked out front with men leaning against them.
Angela parked the car and opened the door. Both her and Nicki got out and quickly headed inside, not wanting to be bothered by the men staring them down.
"Let's hurry up and get out of here." Angela said as she grabbed her some skittles and a sprite.
"Yeah, c'mon." Nicki grabbed her ice cream and headed up front.
Placing their things on the counter to be paid for, Nicki spoke up before he could finish. "uh, can you hold on sir? I forgot something."
The man nodded and Nicki speed walked towards the back.
Nas walked in with Jungle and Lamar, laughing loudly. Nas nodded his head towards the guy behind the register before heading to the back.
"I'm hungry as fuck." Nas spoke, holding up his sweat pants with one hand and searching isles with the other.
"Counting all that money got a nigga tired."
"Should've let some bitches count it." Jungle spoke.
"Nah, man. These hoes try and steal from ya." Nas shook his head,
"You right, you right."
Nicki grabbed her lays chips and heading back towards the counter. She passed by some men standing around talking. She didn't bother to look up until she was stopped.
"Nicki." That voice rang in her ear. She cringed and looked up.
She looked at him and then looked away. "Excuse me." She said to Lamar who was blocking her way.
"Let my mans talk to you." Lamar spoke.
"Who is this?" Jungle asked, confused as to what was happening.
Nas ignored him.
"Excuse me but can you please get the fuck out my way? I'm trying to leave." Nicki yelled.
"Chill out with that attitude. I know we ended on a bad note, but let me talk to you outside real quick."
Nas spoke as he moved closer to her.
"What? Hell no. Can I just leave?" She asked.
"5 minutes, ma. That's it." He pleaded again.
Nicki sighed. She nodded and headed to the front with Nas behind her.
"Nicki where the hell was you at?" Ang looked behind her, "Oh... you sure you'll be alright?" She asked noticing Nas.
"I'll be fine."
Nicki headed out with him and over to his car.
He helped her in before getting in also.
"Look, I want to apologize. What I did was fucked up and wrong. You didn't deserve that. You're a good girl, I can tell. It's just that people are out to ruin me, you know? I don't trust everybody out here. I can't."
He looked at her as she fidgeted with her nails.
"I accept your apology. Just make sure it doesn't happen again." Nicki said.
Nas nodded. "You're right. It won't. Let me take you out to dinner tonight? I'm trying make up for it." He asked.
"Nas, I don't know.."
"You said you don't have a man right? Why not? Just a simple dinner. Dress casual and be ready by 9. I'll take care of the rest aight?"
He licked his bottom lip and Nicki became mesmerized.
"Okay. I'll be ready."
Nicki opened the door and got out, smiling at him before joining Angela in their car before she drove off.
