The Artist: A Dricki Fic

Chapter 1

May 22nd 2012...

Drake laid on his bed in some boxers as he observed his surroundings. He had just recently got out of the shower as today he was expecting someone to be the nude model for his new artwork. He had placed an add in the newspaper the other day and had received a phonecall from someone who was willing to do it yesterday. He heard a knock on the door and guessed that would be her. He stood and put on some socks and sweats before making his way to the door. He opened the door to find a woman standing their who looked no older than mid 20s.

"Hello, You must be Nicki. Come in," Drake said and offered her a small smile of which she gladly returned. "I'm Aubrey or Drake. Whichever you prefer,"

She chuckled a little which made him do the same. "Well I prefer Aubrey; Nice to meet you," She reached out her hand and he took it into his before placing a kiss on her hand.

"Nice to meet you too,"

-

"Well technically no, but I've talked to a few people," He responded to the question she had just asked which cause her to laugh. "Its not funny," He pouted. "I'm sorry if girls aren't attracted to me, there's nothing i can do about it,"

"Trust me. Girls Are definitely attracted to you sir," She retorted, glad he had no idea that she was one of them.

"Yeah but I don't see it," He replied back, completely unbothered by the point.

"Well take it from me as someone who loves your artwork. I know plenty of people that would do anything to be with you,"

"Yeah, well enough about me. Tell me about your love life," he brushed off the topic and decided to change it.

"Yeah well I do have a boyfriend. His names Derrick. What more do you wanna know about," she stated simply with a shrug.

"What more do you want to tell me, elaborate a little on your relationship. Look towards the window for me," He looked at her for a little bit before continuing with the sketch he was doing as she did as he asked.

"Well we've been together just over a year. I moved in with him a couple of months ago, and I guess you could say our relationships running smoothly,"

He could tell by the way she spoke to him that it wasn't all how it seemed. "does he work a lot?"

"Yeah, he works with his dad. they have a family business. That's kind of how we met. Our parents were friends and we grew up friends and I guess feelings just developed,"

"Oh Okay. Look up a little,"He continued with the sketch. She did as he asked and he put the final marks to the sketch he was doing. "I'm done with the basic sketch, so we can pick it up from here next week?"

"That's fine by me. can't believe its already 4pm," she said as she looked over at him.

"You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun," he gave her small smile.

She chuckled a little. "Who said I was having fun?"

He smirked at her. "I just know you were having fun,"

"Yeah whatever,"

He watched as she stood and made her way back to the guest bedroom with the long white cloth now wrapped loosely around her body. She was beautiful and he knew the longer he spent time with her, the quicker he would find himself falling for her. He took his phone from where he had left it and looked at his messages. It was only stuff from his boys and a few from his female friends. He watched as Nicki walked out of the room now fully dressed with her phone to her ear. It seemed like she was in a rush so he just waited for her to finish on the phone. He stood and stretched. Nicki bit her lip as she watched all of his muscle tense, as he was still topless. She turned around and continued with the phone call and soon wrapped it up.

"Who was that," He asked curiously.

"Derrick. He was just telling me about how his day went," She turned around and found him stood just behind her.

"I guess you gotta go?"

For a minute it seemed like she had no voice as she looked at his abs and arm muscles. "Uh, Yeah I-I need go and get dinner ready and all that," She picked up her leather jacket from the couch and put it on as he walked with her to the door. She opened it and stepped a bit outside before turning around and looking at him. She wrapped one arm around his neck and placed a kiss on his cheek. "I'll see you next week,"

With that she turned around and walked off. He watched until she disappeared off before closing his door. He just shook his head and chuckled. "Aubrey Drake Graham, What have you just started for yourself,"

-

It was later that night and Nicki was sat eating dinner with Derrick. He had just finished telling her the events of his day in more detail and she just sat and listened as he expected. "So how did your day go. did you get up to much?"

"Well, I took up that ad I was telling you about," She picked at her food before taking a forkful and waiting for his response.

"What to be a model for that artist?"

"Mhmm. That's really what most of my day consisted of. It wasn't really much but I made a new friend I guess," She shrugged.

"Yeah," A silence went over the table as they just sat and ate. Derrick wasn't overprotective, but at the same time Nicki felt as though he didn't show her enough affection. She knew he loved her, but he was always so wrapped around work that he never really showed her the affection she wanted from him. She knew that she loved him but she felt as though she didn't love him in the same manner that he loved her. "So we Still going out for dinner tomorrow with our parents?"

"Yeah,"

He gave her a smile and she happily returned it.

-

Drake stood by the double doors that lead out to his balcony and looked out at the view of the city before him. He took a sip from his glass of wine and sighed. He was taking a risk by continuing with this project on Nicki, but now that he had met her, he couldn't stop himself. She was more than just a model to him and he had only spent a few hours with her...
