Losing bad habits

Onika's POV

Mall of America

6:45pm

She held me like I was a sleeping child not that I mind because I was dosing off every now and again she began walking to the entrance we came in at with Drake and Rih in tow. "We going to the trap tonight or tomorrow?" Drake asked as we passed people when we did they starred at us a little longer than normal I guess it's because she was carrying me without a problem. I made eye contact with one person they just starred at me so I put my face in her neck smelling her cologne that I've started to enjoy. As I was about to go into a light sleep I heard my name being called "Nicki" Rih whispered I poked my head out and saw her walking behind us I didn't know Drake moved or hear Bey respond to him.. she smiled at me and waved while I reached for her "Rih" I said in a playful whisper I couldn't reach her "I wanna walk with Rih" I said to Bey.

"Okay." As she put me down I got colder once I was out of her arms I went next to Rih and walked with her. "Beyonce!" was yelled out from the same woman she was with earlier, the woman walked over to us "I was trying to see if you wanted to hang out like we used to?" she said as she looked at Bey while biting her lip once again, "Ashanti you act like you can't speak." Drake said in a faked hurt tone "Hey Drake." she said with a smile and walking towards him trying to get a hug until Rihanna came in between "Nah honey he don't give those out." She said in her normal voice with her thick accent I knew we were both from the Islands but her accent is really strong. "Come on Drake you gonna let her dictate what you do?" the Ashanti character spoke "Oh he knows better than to test his limits." Rih said in the same tone standing her ground. I just stood there watching the scene unfold, the two women stood eye to eye since the woman had on heels.

"Ashanti we can hang out later this week just text or call me okay?" Beyonce said trying to defuse the situation pulling her away after she dropped the bags near Drake as he wrapped his arm around Rih pulling her close and whispering to her. "Then give me your number." she said licking her lips "Alright." Bey responded How is she gonna do that while I'm right here? "Bey, what are you doing?" Rih questioned while looking between me and her. She turned to me with a sad face realizing what she was doing "Nic. I-" she said as walked towards me as I backed away "No." I said quietly shaking my head trying to push her away as she wrapped her arms around me "No." I keep repeating trying to get out of her embrace "Stop I won't do it, I'm sorry I didn't think of it like that Nicki." She said in my ear with her deep voice.

Beyonce's POV

Why do I keep letting this happen? Every time Ashanti comes around trouble starts that's one of the reasons I'm single now. She knows how to get to me and I was doing good with avoiding her until now. I keep a tight grip on Nicki until she stop trying to fight me, "Come on I'm carrying you to the car." I said in her ear "No, let me go." she whispered starting to fight me again "Stop." I said as I picked her up once again. "Ashanti I ain't finna keep doing this thing with you no more I gotta keep my babygirl happy." I said as I looked at Nicki in my arms with her head turned the other way and I picked up her bags.

Onika's POV

I heard her but I didn't want to look at her I didn't want to look her in the eye, I just looked at the girl as she looked at me in disgust and her face changed to one with a smile while she laugh "Whatever Bey, I'll see you again I already know how you like to be taken care of." she said cockily looking me in the eye angry making me put my head back in Bey's neck "I'm so sorry babygirl." she said again "Do you mean it?" I questioned in a small voice They say they do but they always lie... "I do." she said sincerely I don't know why but I believe her, I guess it's because she's the only one who's ever tried to save and help me.
