They sat at the table and Rihanna started song:
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost

Then Drake started to rap:
I've asked about you and they told me things
But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same
What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know.. we know
They won't get you like I will, my only wish is I die real
'Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase
Big girls all get a little taste, ah
Pushing me away so I give her space, ah
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thinking you just don't know
Tryna run from that, say you done with that
On your face, girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the party's over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide
You've seen all my mistakes so look me in my eyes

Nicki stared at him. The table was quiet.

"What do guys think? It's called Take Care." Rihanna asked.

"It's good." I answered first.

"Marvelous." Sandi chimed in.

"Great." Carol added.

"It's dope." Cedric said. We looked at Nicki and she stared at Drake.

"Maybe I am drunk but Im pretty sure you rapped about our argument 6 months ago. The shit u just said was what you were saying to me about Meek and us. You named the song and your album Take Care. That's what you said to me when you left. Is this some kind of diss?" Nicki asked him.

"No, it's just a song." Drake answered.

"It's a song about me... that you are doing with another woman. I feel... I feel... what the fvck Drake." Nicki said to him.

"I'm lost." Rihanna said.

"Ma, I just realized we're going to be late for that thing with me, you, Sandi, and Belle." Nicki said getting up and taking my hand pulling me up too. I was so sad because I wasn't finished eating.

"What thing?" Her mother asked confused.

"Oh, you know the clothes thing." Sandi said covering up for Carol's confusion.

"Oh yeah." Carol replied.

"I will go pay the bill." Nicki said opening her wallet. Drake stood up also.

"I got it." He offered.

"No, it's okay." Nicki declined pulling out her card. Drake held her wrist and she physically shook slightly. She took in a shaky deep breath. Her other hand went to his chest.

"I'll cover the bill. I don't want you guys to be late to your made up clothing thing." He said to her.

"Okay." Nicki replied defeated. I hugged Cedric and Drake then we left. Nicki sat in the backseat of her mom's car with me.

"I'm so sorry Onika I don't know why Aubrey is such a knucklehead." Sandi said.

"It's both of their fault. They are never on the same page. They are childish and they are too grown to act this way." Carol replied to Sandi. They continued to talk about Nicki and Drake while Nicki stared out the window in heartache.

Me📌: Excuse my language but you are a boss ass bitch and you don't need a man to be happy!

Queen👸🏽😍: that's sweet. I wish I could keep you for longer than the summer👭🙁

Nicki wrapped her arm around me and my heart fluttered
