Nicki POV

I planned on ignoring Bel all day today and solely focus on what's going on in court this morning. But when she walked through the front door of the house, I wanted to fall at her feet and tell her how pretty she looked all dressed up for court.

I walked right past her just so I could smell her mesmerizing scent.

"Hey cutie!"She pinched my left booty cheek. She knew exactly what she was doing. Please do it again, I thought.

Jeremiah emerged in a little suit, looking as handsome as ever.

"Who dressed you?"Bel asked him. "Mama."He replied and she smiled.

"You did good with him."She told me. I just stared at her. I couldn't break down. I had to go through with my plan to ignore her. "Come on Kent!"I shouted, wanting to get a move on it.

It was awkward to be down here with her. I didn't want to do something to her that I'll regret later on.

"We taking your Range today."He yelled back.

"Okay!"

I led them to my Range Rover and with them in the back, me in the passenger seat, Ken would drive. I started the car for him and ignored the tap on my neck.

"Nicki!"Bacardi summoned me but I was still trying to act like she wasn't there.

I turned the music on and plugged my phone into the aux. Chris Brown's "Back to Sleep" came out. This is not the time for that, I thought, skipping the song. Halsey's "Bad At Love" started. Ugh, what do I have that isn't talking about love or sex, I thought. I left it on Jhené Aiko and Big Sean's "Memories Faded", it would just have to do for now.

"Ima call you on my day off and make sure that we stay off."I said with the song.

"Got all these memories faded with you, with me being faded with you."She had the audacity to start singing as well. She's making it pretty hard to ignore her.

Ken came out and killed the tension between us. As usual, he did a ninety in a sixty five limit, basically trying to get us all killed on the interstate.

We made it to the courthouse right after our lawyer. We got out and Ken grabbed my hand. He just wanted to look good in case the paparazzi came out of the woodworks. They were always watching, especially since he's riding to world wide fame. Jeremiah held my hand and Bel held his other hand. What I told ya!

A camera flashed, capturing the four of us inside of a picture. I knew that many rumors would be associated with the picture but I wasn't worried; we knew the truth of what was going on. In the audience, Ken and I sat. Cardi has to testify for Jeremiah so the two of them and the lawyer went up to the stand in front of the audience. Everyone stood for the judge to enter. We had a white woman as our judge; I desperately hoped that she'd be on our side and not on the cops' side just because he was white just as she was.
