This thing we call love (ONIKAFAREE)

chapter 21: Home sweet home

(SAFAREE'S POV)

"Nicki. We're here." I say tapping her. She looks out of the window to see cornfields. "My stomach hurts." she says and uses the chair in front of her to get up. I get our carry on bags and we walk out to the isle. "God I missed this place." I say as we finally set foot on the ground.

"Come on Maka-....oh yea." She said and looked down. I sigh and grab her hand. We stroll through the almost empty airport with our luggage. "Hungry?" I ask. "I guess." She says, sounding depressed. "Ooo! wanna go to Checker's?!" She squeals. (If you don't know what Checker's is, you have not LIVED.)

"Sure. We gotta go get our car from the valet guy first." I say.

"Thank you sir." I say and the valet guy hands me the key. We drive off and make our way to Checkr's. Nicki got a plain hamburger, and I just got onion rings. We ate in the car while I was driving. "We have to tell my dad." She says, breaking the silence. "Tell him what?" I ask. "Everything."

"Well I don't know how we will." I say, keeping my eyes on the road. "Easy." She looks over to me.

We finally get home, and unlock the door and roll our luggage in.  Nicki sighs loudly and plops down on the couch. "Makalah would love it here...open space, lots of room for her to run around." She says.

"She's not a dog." I joke. "Jasmine treats her like one." She answers. "Why don't we talk about something good and happy?" I ask, sitting next to her. "What's good in our life?" She asks. "Well, I have a beautiful Girlfriend, we're rich....aaaand I guess you're right." I laugh. She snorted.

"I'm tired." Sh says calmly. "Nap?" I ask. We both get up and run up stairs. We don't even change or anything, we just got under the covers and fell asleep.

(NICKI'S POV, 6 HOURS LATER)

I woke up on Safaree's chest and looked at the clock. 2 AM....Damn how long were we asleep? I tap Safaree's chest and fall back on the pillow. I start dozing off off again, but then I feel him kiss my cheek.

"Are you better now?" He asks and laughs a little. "Kinda." I smile. "What time is it?" He asks with his groggy voice. "Three." I reply. He signs and gets up. "Where are you going?" I ask and yawn at the same time.

"I need a cigar." he says and shuts the door. I roll my eyes and get comfortable. He comes back after 3 minutes and sees my face. "What's wrong?" He asks. "The cigar." I say and point to it. "Ughhh .....really?" He says. "Yes really. You need to at least try to quit." I argue.

"Whatever." He mumbles and gets into bed next to me. I turn so I don't have to look at his face. I feel and arms wrap around me and I try not to smile. I fall asleep cuddling with him.

(SAFAREE'S POV)

I wake up to Nicki's screaming. "What's wrong?!" I yell and still up to her level. "T-the dream! I-I had the dream!" She yells, breathing heavy. I see tears all on her cheeks. "Ok, Ok. Calm down before you have an asthma attack. Tell me what happened." I say holding her hands.

"My son... He died.. he got killed. By a woman who looks just like Jasmine. Just like it happened in real life but she killed him with a gun and he was 21 this time ...not 0. Safaree.. I had that dream every time I go to sleep. And every time, it was 3 years later. That dream could have been our future. I dreamt our future! And Jasmine ruined it!" She cries into my chest and rub her back.

"Shhh it's over now, baby. Please don't cry." I say. I knew this would happen. Since the baby died so suddenly, Her mind didn't expect that so her dream had to change coarse quickly.

I looked at the clock and it read 5:00 AM. I looked back at Nicki and she looked like she was in deep thought. "Wanna go back to sleep?" I ask slowly. She nods her head and gets comfortable. I fall asleep for about 25 minutes but then wake up to check on her.

 She's laying flat on her back, just staring at the ceiling. I would be worried, but she doesn't like when i'm worried. "Nicki?" I whisper, and she quickly shuts her eyes. I shake my head, and fall back asleep.

(NICKI'S POV, 9 AM)

I woke up in Safaree's arms. I still remember every last detail from the dream. "Safaree..." I whisper. We're both facing the same way, so I can't see his face. "Yea babe?" he finally whispers back. "Thanks.....for everything. I love you. You put up with my bullshit and you really don't know how much i appreciate your help." I say. 

He takes a while to answer. "Your so fucking cheesy Nic." He laughs which makes me crack up. "Whatever!" I yell and kick his leg. He squeezes me tighter and I close my eyes. "What do you wanna do today?" He asks. "This." I reply. "Sounds good to me." he breathes.

And that's exactly what we do. I mean, until 3 PM when we had to go out and be social. I'm so happy It's summer break. I put on some teal shorts, a plain grey crop top, and some tan sandals. I put my hair down. I walked out of the bathroom and Safaree was already ready.

"You look nice." He says and opens the door for me. I take his hand and walk outside. "Thanks." I smile. He locks the door and we start to walk. "Where are we going?" I ask. "I dunno, wherever our feet take us." He answers.

Well, we end up riding our 4-Wheeler's through the cornfields about a block away. We were literally COVERED in mud. The good news is, I only found 2 tics on me this time. Don't worry, It's a country thing.

On our way back, after we put our 4-Wheeler's back in the shed, Safaree notices me struggling with walking. These sandals are not made for running through mud. He squats down, signalling for me to get on his back. I hop on, and all you can hear are the birds chirping, and the sloshing of mud under Safaree's shoes.

"It's good to be home." He says. "Yea..." I answer, automatically thinking about Makalah. When we get home, I try to walk inside but Safaree blocks my way. "What are you doing?!" I laugh. "We can't go inside! You have to hose off first." He says, grabbing the hose. "No!!" I scream and start running around the yard.

He turns it on and starts spraying me. I scream and he laughs. I make my way over to the side of the house and grab the spare hoes. I start spraying him. I see our neighbors in my peripheral vision and they're laughing at us. Which makes me laugh harder.

We finally turn them off and collapse under the tree in the yard. We go inside and get towels. We both take separate showers and then we get dressed in pajamas. "You know it's only 5 PM right?" He asked.

"Oh well." I say and we cuddle in bed. He starts to play with my hair as we look out of the window 

(ONE HOUR LATER, SAFAREE'S POV)

We went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse and when we got home, we start to unpack our bags. I hear Nicki start to sniffle. "what's wrong?" I ask, not turning from my bag. "Makalah's stuff." She says. "What do you wanna do with it?"

"I dunno....I guess we could just put it at the top of the closet or something." she suggests and i agree. I Put it at the top above all of our clothes. I look at Nicki, and she was looking depressed. "Don't worry. We'll get her back. I promise." I say.
