Ours For The Taking

chapter 12: Swear

(NEXT DAY, 11:30 AM)

I woke up when my phone beeped. It was a twitter notification. I have them turned off of course, but I get notifications for certain people.

@SCAFFBEEZY: love is so krazy

I smiled a little but I don't know why. I'm not sure if he meant crazy good or crazy bad. As soon as I put my phone down, I got a call from Joyce.

"Hey." I answer.

"Hey. What's wrong with Safaree and you?"

"What do you mean? Everything's fine." I lie.

"Oh. Um, alright. Well, we're supposed to be leaving for the airport in an hour so i'm on my way."

"Okay. See you then. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and put my phone down. I completely forgot we're going to New York City today. I got up and went to the bathroom. I got ready and rolled my suitcase downstairs. When the whole team showed up, we left in the black van.

"Where's Safaree?" Oscar asks.

"He's not coming."

"Why?"

I acted like i didn't hear him.

We got to the private airport and immediately got on the plane. "Nic what's up with you? You haven't said anything since we left the house." Joyce said. I shrugged. "I'm tired."

(NEW YORK)

He're I am, sitting alone in my hotel room. I don't know what time it is, i turned my phone off and I don't feel like finding the clock in here. I changed into almost nothing and laid in the huge bed. I stretched out since I had it all to myself.

All of the sudden, i burst out into tears. I cried so much my throat hurt. No Nicki. You're strong and you don't need a man. Safaree who? Fuck him. You need to get your big ass off this bed, wipe your tears and get yourself a glass of wine.

I'm right.

I got up and walked slowly toward the kitchen I got a bottle of wine from the room service tray, and didn't mind getting a glass. I'm sad, I might as well be drunk too.

(3 DAYS LATER, 9 PM LA)

 I closed and locked the door of my big empty house. "Safaree!? I'm home!" I yell. No answer. I sighed. "Safaree...?" I say quietly, not expecting an answer. I heard footsteps and I smiled. "Safaree?"

"No. Sorry." It as Drake.

"Where did you come from?" I ask. "Girl don't act like I don't know the code to yo house." he says. "Okay you didn't laugh...what's wrong?"

"Safaree left." I say quietly. "But it's whatever. I got lots of work to do and you know I can't focus on irrelevant shit like that, Drake."

"True."

I put all my luggage away. By then, it was 11. I'm just now realizing how much I need Safaree. I need him to tell me if my outfit is okay, or get me something from the top shelf, and even go to the store for me because I can't go out by myself.

I wanna cuddle with him while he tells me how much he loves me. But he can't... Because we both did something wrong. Yes I'm a perfectionist, but nothing will ever be perfect. Not me, not Safaree. Not anyone.

I changed into sweatpants and one of Safaree's tee shirts and got in bed. I got on twitter, trying not to badge or re-tweet anything.

At about 2 AM, I heard the door beep and then open. I heard foot steps come upstairs and then a knock at the door. I got up and opened it. I saw Safaree's Jordan's, so I looked up at him and gulped.

"Safaree what are you doing here?" I ask quietly. "I was driving by and saw your car in the driveway so I thought I would drop by..."

He's lying. "You can't even see the driveway from the street Safaree. Tell me the real reason why you're here."

"I miss you."

 My throat started to hurt, like I was about to cry again. "I-I miss you too."

"Don't cry." He told me, pulling me into a hug. "These were the worst 4 days of my life, Faree." I whisper into his chest. "Same here."

"You changed my life. I love you baby girl."

"I love you too."

I looked to my right, and saw Drake standing there, and he looked surprised. I thought he left 3 hours ago! I quickly got off of Safaree and backed away. "Drake I-"

"Are you guys..."

"No.."

"Don't lie to me. Are you guys together or not?"

"Yes......Promise me you won't tell anyone! I swear Drake I will cut your dick o-"

"Okay! Okay! I won't tell anyone."

"Swear?"

"Swear. Your secret is safe with me."
