Ours For The Taking

chapter 18: impossible

(NEXT DAY, NICKI'S POV)

"Everything is changing....and..I'm scared. I don't want us to grow apart." I whisper to Safaree in complete darkness. We're sitting on the bed, me on the right side and him on the left, on opposite sides.

"Face it...we already have.."

A tear ran down my face. "Why did it have to end like this? We promised it wouldn't end like this and it did."

There was silence for 5 seconds. "I love you Nicki."

"I love you too babe. But I think it's time for us to let go. "

He didnt say anything. I heard him turn around, at least I think that's what he did.

"We can't. If we get divorced, then something will get out and everyone will know the truth."

He's right.

He grabbed my hand and I jumped a little. "My album is coming out tomorrow. Everybody will know the truth by the morning."

He got up and walked toward the door. "If it wasn't for fame, we would have kids and a happy marriage. It's not your fault...but...We're both tired of this and we wanna get out of it. I'll let myself out, okay? Take care, Nic.." And he left.

"So is that it? After all them years, we're finally done?" I yell. "I don't know.."

That's the last thing I heard him say. Imma fuckin miss him..

(MORNING)

I smiled at my phone. I'm reading all the positive reviews of The Pinkprint. Haven't seen one negative thing yet!

I have loads, pauz, of interviews this week, and I can't wait. But first, I have to get Safaree out of my mind. It's really bringing me down. He was my right hand and I really don't know how I'm going to be famous without him.

Like, seriously, who's gonna help me get beats for new music? Who's gonna get me hype before I go on stage? I know everyone's replaceable...but not my Safaree.

"Nicki?" I hear Safaree yell, and he opens the door to my bedroom. "Safaree." I got up and ran to hug him. He hugged me back tightly. "Is it too late to talk? Did I wait too long?" I ask.

"Stop quoting your song." He told me. "You listened to it?"

"Of course I did. Why wouldn't I listen to my baby's album?"

I pulled back from the hug and went in for a kiss.

"I love you." He says, between kisses.

(SHERIKA'S POV, ONE HOUR LATER)

I pulled up to Nicki's house and unlocked the gate. I drove up to the driveway. There were two cars that weren't in the garage. Nicki's Bentley and Safaree's Bentley.

"Oh this can't be good..." I say to myself as I park my Range Rover. I got out and walked up to the big door. It was unlocked, so I went inside.

"Nicki! Sa-"

"SAFAREE!! Mmm Safaree! Don't stop baby!" I hear, coming from upstairs. I heard more moaning and grunting. Then I understood. "Ewwww!!" I yell.

I went to the kitchen and got a sheet of paper and a pen.

N&S,

I came by but you guys were...busy.

-Sherika

I cringed once more and left. At least they made up...

(4 HOURS LATER, 4:40 PM)

My phone rang. It was Nicki.

"S-S-Sherika..." She mumbled, crying.

"What's wrong babe? Do I need to come over?"

"Please?"

"I'm on my way." I hung up and stood up from my couch. I put some shoes on and left.

(NICKI'S HOUSE)

"I'm done Sherika! I'm tired of holding on for him! I can't do it anymore."

"But when I was here y'all were-"

"I know. That happens all the time..But afterwards..."

She looked down and sighed. "Wanna go out for dinner or something? To cheer you up? Hey your album is out, let's celebrate!" I say.

She shook her head. "I can't eat without him."

"Well why don't you try to get some sleep? You had some interviews today and more tomorrow."

"I can't sleep without him."

"Call your mom and talk to her, okay?"

"We aren't really talking at the moment."

"What?"

"She won't listen to me. She doesn't believe me when I say this industry rips shit apart. She doesn't get it. I just don't want her to get hurt."

"Well you're moving in a few weeks. You're gonna have to face her soon."

"Yea..." She agrees.

"What do you wanna do?" I ask. "Anything to get your mind off Safaree."

"That's impossible but thanks for trying."
