"Are you gonna be performing?" She asked as she looked through the rail for a top for him.
"Maybe," He said with a shrug as she turned to him with a long sleeve black fitted top.
"Try this on," she said as she passed it to him and avoided looking at his bare upper body.
"You can watch if you want to," he said with a smirk as he put on the top.
"I'm good thank you. That would be unprofessional." She walked over to the jackets rail and pulled out a black leather jacket that had fur on the collar. She turned to face him as he did up the button on his jeans and straightened out the top he was now wearing. She passed him the jacket and he thanked her. "How's that?" She asked as he gave himself a once over in the mirror.
"It's perfect," he said, turning back to face her as she stood a small distance away. "You always stand so far away when you don't have to be near me," He said with a chuckle.
"Just respecting your personal space," she said before turning to pack away anything they didn't need.
"What if I don't want you to?" He said suggestively.
"Again, unprofessional." She turned from him and went to pick up her starbucks drink. She took a sip as she began gathering her personal belongings from where she'd placed them.
"You not coming to the club with us?" He asked and she shook her head. "Why not?"
"I'm tired. Just feel like calling it a night. Besides, we're trying out your birthday outfits tomorrow so I need to go and make sure they're sorted before I go to sleep," she said, justifying her reason for missing out on another night out.
"You shouldn't work yourself too hard," he said as he edged a little closer to her but she kept her distance.
"I'm not, I just like things to be in order," she said nonchalantly. "You think you'll make it to our agreed fitting tomorrow?"
"I mean if I-"
"What's taking you guys so long today. Drake she said she's not interested," Chubbs said as he banged on the door of the dressing room interrupting them. Nicki couldn't help but laugh knowing how much Chubbs bullied Drake about the evident crush he had on her.
"Chubbs, it's not everyday," Drake said as his friend walked into the dressing room bringing the rest of the crew with him. Nicki just let them fill the room as she packed up the last of her things and put on her hoodie. "To answer your question, yes I'll be there on time tomorrow,"
"I'll see you tomorrow then," she said to him before saying goodbye to the rest of the crew and heading out.
"I know Chubbs likes to mess with you but you really feeling her G?" Johnny asked and Drake just smiled.
"You know what it is," he said and the boys began pressing him but he brushed it off...

Nicki walked into the room that she had previously left with her cup of tea in hand and went back over to the rails.
She was lost in her own world sorting the pieces into occasions and colour order when there was a knock on the door. She called for the person to come in and just gave a small smile. "Hi,"
"Hey," He said back as he walked into the room leaving his security on the other side of the door. "How are you?" He asked.
"I'm good. How are you?" She returned before she moved away from the rails and turned to face him but kept her distance.
"I'm ok," he said as he found himself lost in a trance as he stared at her.
"I'm surprised you made it, looked like you were having a great time last night," she said and he just chuckled as he took off his jacket and placed it on one of the chairs in the hotel suite.
