As Time Goes By You Roam My Mind

expect the unexpected

"That sounds fire! When we releasing?" Drakes engineer turned around in his chair to talk to him.
"I don't even know if I want to I gotta think about it" he said

"Man, okay just let me know cause this is too fire to let go of" with that said Drake clapped him up and left.

He had just wrote a song about her. He couldn't stop thinking about her.

Drake got home and sat down on his couch.
"Married, huh" he chuckled while scrolling down her Instagram. The chuckle was the only thing saving him from tearing up. But he knew there was no way it would last.

"Bro did you hear the news?" Chubbs came practically rushing through the door. Drake already knew what he was about to say but he let him say it anyway.

"What?"

"Your girl is deadass married bro"

"Not my girl, but congrats to her I guess" He said clearly annoyed. Chubbs could see that he wasn't okay with it.

"Man she'll come back around, she's just not in the right state of mind probably. But y'all real tight and always make up"

"I don't even want her to come back around to be honest, I'm happy if she's happy"

"Don't be like that, you know you miss her" Chubbs said while pouring them a class of champagne "Yall are complicated though, I'll tell you that" Chubbs came over and handed him the drink.

"I wrote a song about her earlier today, because you know that's how I release my stress, and then I come home and she's married and it's just" he took a breathe "kinda crazy man"

The next night came and Drake and the crew were headed to the club just to turn up a bit.

"Yooooo, y'all see that ting over there?" Mark said referring one of the baddies he seen across the room.

"Watch them eyes, Mark them tings is what got you in trouble with your girl last time" Chubbs said while the whole crew laughed.

"Ay, where's boss at?" Niko asked

"Probably sobbing around" They laughed.

"Don't be too loud but I heard she's supposed to be coming tonight" Chubbs said lowly.

"She as in-" Mark didn't even have to finish before Chubbs nodded already knowing what he was going to say.

"Wow," Mark said in shock "Lets hope they don't start arguing in the club" Chubbs giggled.

Meanwhile on the other side of the club...

She sat down at one of the tables at the far back of the club with her girls.

"Listen Nika, you're gonna have fun tonight and not worry about anything" TT said while facing her .

"We just wanted to take you out to celebrate being a married woman so please have fun" Candi begged

"This is what you're supposed to before the wedding you guys. I know I'm not gonna slip up or anything but I'm married now so what type of fun am I even gonna get into?" Nicki said.

"We know that but we didn't get to do it before you got married so we're here now!" Candi continued, "You're going on your honeymoon in two days and you might come back a different woman" she joked "So please?"

Nicki finally gave in and decided to get on the dancing floor.
She eventually let her friends keep dancing while she got a drink at the bar. "A sangria will do" she told the bartender.

Drake was laying low and watching everything from the balcony, and as soon as he looked from the bar, he spotted her.

People talk, so he knew she was there but he couldn't believe it when he seen her with his own eyes. He wanted to approach her but he didn't know how to. So he sat down and took another shot of his whiskey thinking of a way to slyly approach her.

Nicki had one too many shots of everything really. She was surprised she could even walk. She made her tipsy self up the stairs to use the bathroom and to her surprise, she saw a familiar face. She thought her mind was playing tricks on her.

"Nicki?" He said in shock but also because she had barely made herself up the stairs due to how drunk she was. He ran over to help her.
"Drake? I didn't even know you were here" her words were slurred. He giggled at how drunk she was. Part of him was relieved that she was drunk because it lessened the awkwardness they'd have to go through if she was sober.

"What have you been drinking? Where are your friends?" He asked looking at drunk she was.

"Drinking? I took like one shot" she said
"Nic, you're drunk, look at you" he laid her out on the couch next to him. He was glad they were upstairs near the bathroom in case she had to puke plus they were away from everyone. Didn't want to see himself and her on TMZ with some crazy headline completely blown out of proportion.

"Drake I am exhausted, can you take me home?" He knew she didn't know what she was saying due to how intoxicated she was "Nic where are your friends? Where's your-" he stopped talking knowing she wasn't even in the right state of mind to reply correctly.

He wanted to go search for her friends but he couldn't leave her alone while she was super drunk and unable to fend for herself. He called his driver and carried her out the back door of the club where he knew no one would see them.

He texted Chubbs and told him to find Nicki's friends and tell them that she's being took care of.
Drake wanted to take her to her house but he knew he couldn't due to her living with her newlywed, and he didn't want those problems especially since there's so many other things he already had to deal with.

So he took her to the estate where he knew he could give her the proper care and supervision she needed, without any questions asked.

Once they got there he made sure she was pampered and put her to bed in the guest bedroom.

"What a night" he thought to himself.
