"Rain can cleanse, or reveal..."

Nicki sat on the couch with her legs tucked under her as she waited nervously, her heart was racing, and her breathing was anything but normal. She'd just gotten off the phone with Ming for the second time who let her know Beyoncé was a little less then ten minutes away.

That made her stomach tense up in excitement and anxiety, that coupled with the heat had her squirming in her seat.

Thoughts of the older girl rolled through her head like a movie, her infatuation was deep rooted, and had been for some time now. She couldn't explain what it was about her, but Beyoncé gave her this feeling that made every inch of her soul burn.

She had a crush, and god was it bad. There were times she'd be staring at Beyoncé so openly she was  sure everyone knew how she felt, but she couldn't help but to admire her, every aspect of the blonde was perfect in her eyes.

Especially the way her hands felt wrapped around her waist...despite the cooler incident being one of the most embarrassing moments of her teenage life, she couldn't help but to remember how Beyoncé's hands held her so cautiously, and how that deep sultry voice of hers spoke so calmly in her ear sending chills down her spine.

Nicki sighed while rubbing her temples trying to force the thoughts away, she was a mess in the worst way, it pained her because before the cooler, Beyoncé hadn't so much as spoken a word to her, not even looked at her other then a simple head nod.

There was nothing worse then not being acknowledged by the person you thought so highly of.

But Beyoncé was older then her and probably only recognized her for being Ming's baby sister, nothing more, nothing less.

Just as Nicki was about to begin sulking even more, three quick taps sounded on the front door instantly gaining her attention, she instantly felt her heart began to hammer in her chest knowing exactly who it was.

She rose from the couch slowly, she took a deep breath before walking over to the door, she didn't want to seem to eager even if the situation she was currently in was dire.

Nicki's hand reached for the lock turning it quickly before going for the knob, she felt the sweat on the palm of her hands as she twisted the cool metal and pulled the door open.

Her heart stopped as she came face to face with the girl who'd consecutively held her attention for the last 10 months since she'd turned 16.

There stood Beyoncé looking drop dead gorgeous, Nicki took in her ensemble which consisted of a pair of Nike sweats and a clean white t-shirt with an equally white pair of sneakers to match, a simple outfit but of course the blonde made it look stunning, she noted her usual straight back braids had been changed out for more of a tribal styling, small gold jewelry hung from various braids.

She was broken out her trance when the older girl suddenly spoke up.

"It's kinda raining out here." Beyoncé said, and Nicki Instantly felt embarrassed noticing the rain droplets on the girls white shirt.
