Chapter 5

{Some Yall Are Mad Impatient. :(((( Give A Barb a Break My Nigga. lol I've Been Busy So I Hope Ya Uglies Understand. -_- K. Enjoy !}

********************************************

Nicki jumped up out of bed, wrapping her robe around her and began to ponder. Her breathing was heavy as her hands shook uncontrollably and her heart pounded. She was very emotional at this point.

"That's it. That's enough. I-I can't take this any longer. Something's going on and I want it to stop now!" she threw her arms out in the air in anger.

"Nicki Listen To Me....." Safaree sat up at the end of the bed and covered himself with the sheets. Nic ignored him and kept pondering across the room. A Million "What If's" Swarmed Around In Her Head. There Was No Stopping Her Thoughts Now. She Was Too Livid. He Notice she didn't answer him so he called her name again.

"Nicki....Babe..Nic...ONIKA!"

"WHAT?!" she stopped and yelled at him.

"Calm Down. Let's just talk about this, Okay?" he stuck his hands out in front of him.

"NO! I'M NOT GONNA CALM DOWN. DON'T TELL ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN! I WANT ANSWERS SAFAREE!" she walked up to him screaming in his face and pointing a finger at him. Then banged on a wall in her room.

"NICKI STOP IT, You're Over-reacting about this whole th-"

"OVER REACTING?! I'M OVER REACTING?! You Think I'M Over reacting?!?!" she ran back up to him and slapped him across his face. She hit him over and over again with tears pouring down her cheeks. He quickly snatched her arms and pushed them to her sides as she fought to escape his tight grip.

Her small frame was now held on the floor against the wall with Faree's hands still holding her down until she settled down. Her breathing was back to normal and she stared him in the eyes to listen to what he had to say.

"I need for you to take it easy. I can't afford to lose you or have you in a hospital because you lost your mind."

"LOST MY MIND?! Oh So Now You Think I'm CRAZY?! Because I'M The One Being Watched and Targeted, Yet....You Think I'm Crazy............." Nic's eyes bucked at him, shouting in his face with the little room in between them.

"That's not what I meant...Nic..." he sighed. "What I mean is...I don't want this thing to get to your head and drive you crazy. We are gonna fix this okay? Please trust me. Please. I will protect you. Whoever or whatever it is, I won't let them get to you. Trust Me...."

She teared up again, "Safaree, I'm Scared..." she started to cry. He wiped her tears away as they fell.

"Shhh..I Know...It's okay...I got you...Now Take That Robe off and put on a shirt or something. We have an important meeting tomorrow. You need rest and so do I." he kissed her forehead and let her up off the floor.

She searched in the closet for a big tshirt to sleep in as Safaree climbed back in bed, thinking. "Safaree what time is this "private meeting" and what is it for?" He stared at her phone for a long while. He blinked and turned towards the closet, "Uhh Dont Worry, I'll Tell You In The Morning." She rolled her eyes and continued to search for a shirt.

Safaree turned his attention right back to her phone sitting at the end of the bed where she threw it earlier. He reached over and grabbed it. Unlocking Her Phone With The Password He Knew All Too Well, He Begin Checking Her Call Log. The Unknown Number Appeared In The List. He Was Very Curious On Who The Unknown Caller may be and was tempted to call back. He began searching her text messages to check to see if he found anything similar to it.

He came across a text that made his jaw flinch.

#25371:
I love you..

He frowned really quickly and continued to search through her messages, trying to discover if there were more txts from the strange number. His heart was now racing as questions flew around in his head. As soon as he clicked out of the quaint message, Nic came out cutting her eyes at him with her phone in his hand.

"What Are You Doing?" she frowned. He gave her a death glare, handing over her phone and watching her closely as she climbed back into bed.

"Nothing." he rolled his eyes and turned his back towards her. She sighed and notice his actions and paused. "Wait, Whats Wrong With You?" she looked at the back of his head.

"Goodnight Nicki." he raised his voice at her, not turning his head. She was shocked at the way his mood changed so swiftly, thinking if she just said something wrong. She sat back up on her side and furrowed her eyebrows, double checking her actions from only a few seconds ago. What ever it was she hoped he would get over it. She shook her head and grabbed her phone. She scanned back through her messages and studied the strange one. She wondered what the 5 digits might've meant. As she quickly remembered to call Martin, she slid quietly out of bed and headed downstairs.

She slowly walked to her office and sat at her desk. She glanced over at the pink clock placed on the corner of her desk and it read "1:34am". She bit the bottom corner of her lip, thinking twice on if she should call to see if Martin was up. She picked up the phone and called him. A Long minute passed before he finally picked up.

"Hello?" he said in a groggy voice.

"Hey....Um Listen...I Uhh...Have A Private Meeting Tomorrow And I Need You To Contact My Bodyguards for backup. I need extra security." she said continuing to bite her lip.

"Is Everything Okay?" He said more clearly, speaking up.

"Yeah! Yeah...Im Fine Its Just......Gonna Be Hectic Getting Around Tomorrow. It IS A Private Meeting Ya Know." she chuckled lightly.

"OH..Yeah Right Sorry Nic, I Just...-" he tapped his forehead.

"Oh No No No, Its Okay. Sorry For Calling You So Late About It. I didn't mean to wake you."

"No No Its Fine. I'll Do That First Thing Tomorrow. Thanks For Calling."

"You're Welcome. Have A Nice Night. Okay, Bye."

"You Too, Nic. Bye."

With That She Hung Up and Sat There a little longer. She wondered about what this "Private Meeting" was all about. She didnt know what Safaree was up to but she prayed it wasn't dangerous.

Nic got up and exited her office, cutting the light off and closing the door. She walked across the living room and into her kitchen to get a bottle of water. She took a sip and began feeling queezy at the stomach. Then slowly sat against the stove and clutched her belly as tears ran down her face. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain run through her stomach as she gasped trying not to scream. Nicki balled up and layed her face into her thighs crying even harder now.

Safaree not there at the moment to save her, as she couldn't even scream for him. The pain became too much for her to speak at all so she continued to cry. She slowly layed on the kitchen floor and prayed for him to come in any minute.

--THE NEXT DAY--

SB shuffled around in the bed trying to get comfortable again as he was slowly waking up. He deeply sighed before he peeked one eye out the covers to see broad daylight shining through Nicki's windows. He noticed that Nic wasn't in the bed and thought maybe she was up cooking, showering or making a phone call. Faree sat up in bed and stretched before heading to the bathroom. He walked passed Nic's bathroom and stopped to see that she wasn't in there.

"Oh." he said to himself as he walked in there instead, to use it. After, he brushed his teeth and washed his face then strolled downstairs to find Nic.

"Yo Nic!" he called out looking around the living room and dining room. He walked towards her office and peeped his head in to see if she was in there but no sign of her. Curious of where she may be, he approached the kitchen to see Nicki laying on the kitchen floor looking helpless.

"NICKI!!!!" he gasped and swiftly scooped her up off the floor. Checking her vital signs, he kept shaking her to wake up. Nic squirmed and frowned in her sleep, groaning for him to leave her alone.

"Could you stop shaking me around and leave me the hell alone boy?!" she yelled out in her sleep.

"Why the hell are you on the kitchen floor?!" helping her up off the floor. He picked her up and carried her to the couch, gently laying her down. She didnt open her eyes yet as she layed there not saying a word.

"Are You Okay?" he looked over her making sure she didn't have any bruises on her body.

She only nodded.

"How Long Were You On The Floor?"

"...Since last night." Nicki squirmed to lay on her side, mumbling to him.

"LAST NIGHT?!" His eyes shot wide in shock.

"WOULD YOU SHUT UUUUUUUP." she covered her head with a throw pillow from the couch. He was disturbing from her sleep.

"No Wake UP!" he snatched the pillow from her grip and waited for her to do so. She slowly sat up and stared at him looking annoyed. She didn't say a word. Still waiting on her explaination Safaree was getting aggrivated. "Well??" he raised an eyebrow.

Nic rolled her eyes and got up to head up the stairs. "I'm Gonna Go Shower."

[What The Hell Just Happened?! The Hell Is Her Problem?] SB was very concerned and confused with her weird actions. Maybe It was now time to make that forbidden phone call to the doctor to make sure she was okay.

As 11am rolled in, he decided to get ready for a long day at the meeting that would hopefully end this nightmare.

Chapter 4

{Thank You Guys So Much For Reading My Story, I Really Love Your Support. Please Let A Friend Know About This Story If They LOVE Reading Onikafaree Fanfics. xoxo Enjoy !}

*******************************************

SB decided to run a bubble bath for he and Nic so she could relax her mind. At this point, she really needed it. He was starting to think she was hallucinating about the whole thing. Maybe she was just seeing things or just over reacting. The plane crash was getting to her head and it was traumatizing her. Safaree hoped that this wouldn't become too serious so he would tell her about the secret meeting they had in 2 days. Hopefully, this would solve these events that were constantly happening to them so they would be safe, moving on with business.

Nicki begin stripping down her clothes then slipping on her robe. As Safaree continued filling up the bathtub with bubbles, there was silence. Nic walked up to her sink and looked in the mirror. She tied her hair into a messy bun and stared at her self. Faree was watching her carefully as he tried to figure out what she was thinking....

He turned off the water, took off his clothes and hopped in the hot bath. He layed back and took a deep breath trying to relax himself. He closed his eyes for a few minutes until he noticed that Nic hadnt got in the tub yet. In fact, she was still staring at herself which was profoundly idiosyncratic. She was frozen, and her eyes were not even blinking. Safaree called her name about three times before he finally got her attention.

"Huh...?"

"You Good?"

"Uhhh...um yeah.." she stuttered.

She slowly got in and lowered herself between Safaree's legs. [pauz] She laid against his chest, nestled her neck into his and observed the pink cream ceiling painted in her bathroom. She grabbed him by the wrists and pulled his arms around her. He held her tight placing wet kisses down the side of her neck. She was becoming aroused by this slowly closing her eyes and smirking.

He began sucking on her neck softly as moans just above a whisper escaped her lips. Her eyes were still closed but the flashbacks streamed across her mind again. As he continued his actions, she was now squirming and glowering. The images she saw became so intense that her eyes would not open. It was almost like they were forced closed and could never be opened again. She saw a glimpse of the little boy and the woman staring at her at the same time.

"Safaree..." Nic said in a short breath. SB loosened his grip from around her, and ran his hands up and down her inner thighs. He didn't notice her cry for help. Instead, he assumed she was just really enjoying this. Her heart began to race as she was now trying to catch her breath. In her mind she remembered the strange text message and frowned once agian for the image to go away.

All he wanted to do was make love to her. Taking all of this pain and stress off of her back. If she'd let him, things would become better, to show his love and protection he had for her. But at this point.....Nic was near another panic attack. She panted irregularly, trying to quickly find a grip on him to help her.

"Safaree....Sa-.....SAFAREE!!!" she shot up yelling his name. His eyes lit up in astonishment. Trying to figure out where he went wrong, she jumped out of the tub finding her towel and covering up with it.

"WHAT?! Whats Wrong??" his eyes followed her swift pacing back and forward in and out the bathroom.

"Safaree, I can't do this. We- We-We HAVE to do something about this. I'm serious! This is driving me crazy and I want it to stop!"

"No wait, Babe. We have a private meeting in 2 days. We are gonna get to the bottom of this, okay? Don't worry about it." he got out the shower wrapping a towel around him as Nic was slipping on her thong and plopping down on her bed, shaking her head.

"......Excuse ME?" she snapped.

He walked over to her bed, standing in front of her, still wrapped in his towel. He placed his hands around her tiny arms and kneeled down to her level.

"Listen. I need you for you to calm down and RELAX.....There's entirely TOO much going on right now to be going through all of this. I just need you to be happy again. Just please...." he sat his head down in her lap. She wrapped her hands around him and hugged him tightly as a tear ran down her cheek.

".....I don't know what's wrong with me..." more tears streamed down her face.

She pulled his head up so he would look her in the eyes. "I......need you. I....I don't quite know what's wrong with me but....I just need you here for me....with me..." she lowered her head against his and continued letting tears fall.

He slipped his hand behind her neck pulling her into a deep kiss. She held on to him as he stood up not departing their lips. When he leaned his body against hers, she immediately scooted back onto the bed as he climbed on top of her.

"......Safaree I-"

"Shhhh...."

He attacked her neck once again giving her rough kisses everywhere. Still holding on to the back of his neck, Nicki gasped at a quick rush of tingles going through her body which caused her to moan a little louder. Kissing her lips again, he tugged down at her thong that was no use in her putting on in the first place. He ran his hand down to the edge of her thong and slowly slid two fingers across her now swollen clit. She made another sharp gasp as she bit her lip.

"Mmmmm baby right there..." she rocked her hips matching the rhythm of his fingers now sliding in and out of her. She panted and moaned begging SB for more. As he continued to finger her, he took in a mouthful of her left breast while she gave the right one attention.

"Babe, I think I'm abo-" Faree quickly pulled his fingers out and lifted up off of her. Her eyes shot wide open at him stopping his actions. "Why did you do-" she was cut off again.

"Lay back on the bed." he demanded.

She glanced at him and rolled her eyes and did as she was told. He scooted up closer to her once again and snatched off her thong. She grabbed his penis with her hands, removing the towel off of his lower body. She massaged his shaft until she was ready for him to put it in. He thrusted into her and rapidly pumped in and out of her. She cried out his name as he sucked on her breast quickening his speed in her. He was driving her crazy with his exotic moves. She couldn't resist but to squeal and shriek in his ear.

"Yesssssssss. Mmmmmmm babe. Ahhh! Deeper...Deeper..." she moaned and groaned.

To her, it felt like he was making her forget all of her troubles and worries. She indeed needed to release tension and stress and sex was the answer for it. She loved this man and she trusted him to take care of her. As they were both nearing their ends, a loud vibrating noise came from the night stand by Nicki's bed. She looked over at it but tried to ignore it. Safaree frowned and slowed down his pace on her. Nic's phone continued to ring and wouldn't stop. Faree sighed in disappointment and just rested his body on top of her. He nestled his face into her neck trying to catch his breath.

"Who the hell is cawlin at this time of night?!" she looked at the screen of her phone and it read "Unknown". A call looking all to familiar from the last time. Her eyes shot wide and her heart sunk.

"Uhh....Safaree?" she tapped his shoulder so he would look up and see the name. He got off top of her and sat up next to her in bed. The phone was STILL ringing. "....What should I Do?" she stared at the phone. He nodded his head at her "Put it on speaker so I can hear." She swallowed the air caught in her throat and pressed answer.

"Hello......?"

There was no answer. She quickly hung up the phone, throwing it at the front of the bed still staring at it. She looked over at Safaree thinking.

"We have GOT to do something....." he said shaking his head.

Chapter 3

{I Love To Leave Yall With A Mystery. ^_^ lol Avite, Enjoy !}

******************************************

"We've called upon this emergency meeting to give everyone some news." Wayne lit up a cigar and sat on the end of the long meeting table. He puffed about 3 times before he continued. Nicki, Millz, Mack, Gudda and Baby waited in anticipation for the news.

Wayne pulled up a website on his macbook and read a police report to them about the plane crash that took place weeks ago.

"I found out some information about the accident that happened a few weeks ago..." he continued.

Nicki's body immediately froze and she looked over at Safaree sitting in the corner of the room. She sat up in her seat and prepared herself for what was coming.

Wayne Began Reading Aloud To Everyone, "TALLAHASSEE: Fatal Plane Crash - 20 People Found Dead. A preliminary report by Florida Officials revealed new details about the deadly crash near Lake City. Officials say that they have found about 20 passengers dead and are still searching for more. Police says they still do not know the exact cause of this accident but are checking for any evidence and records from Saturday, April 7, 2012. - when the plane crashed."

Everyone sat still, not moving a muscle as they were taking all the information in. In a blank second, Safaree caught Nicki trembling again and starting to sweat. He got up to go grab her a bottle of water to calm down. Nic adjusted in her seat while trying her best to focus on what Wayne was saying abd not bringing attention to herself. She was overwrought at the point and couldn't hear anymore about this. Luckily, Faree came back in time to give her some water so she would not faint again.

As Her small actions going unnoticed, Wayne continued to read aloud the report. "The Crash took place on Hwy 8, right near the intersection of I-10 and I-75. Capt. Morgan Stanley, one of the Officials confirmed that there were indeed witnesses on the scene. 7 people killed and 13 injured on the effect of the crash. Others were not seriously hurt. More details to come."

There was a short silence in the room until Millz finally spoke up. "What city was the plane coming from?"

"That's what they're figuring out now." Wayne said.

"Wow. Thank God We Actually DID Stop In Time Cuz....WOW." Mack said in amazement shaking his head. Nicki snapped her head his way in surprise of his comment.

"Wait. So You DO Think If We Didn't Stop Before, The Plane Would've Killed Us Right?!" She sat up in her seat. She was astonished at how he brung up the thought she worried about ever since the accident. Everyone's attention turned her way in confusion. Safaree could see this was about to get out of hand.

"Uhh..Nic-" Wayne was cut off.

"-I mean...it could've possibly happened to us in time but...." Mack, unsure of his answer.

"What Exactly Are You Trying To Get At, Nic?" Gudda asked giving her a blank stare.

She adjusted in her seat and eyeballed everyone before turning her attention directly at Gudda. "....I mean...don't any of you think the whole thing was sketchy? First we hear about Ross' situation, then soon after a PLANE crashes right in front of us." she tensed up and turned towards Mack and pointed at him. "Mack, what if you didn't tell the driver to stop?....THINK ABOUT IT. We didn't even see this shit coming...." she became nervous. All eyes were on her and she felt like she wasn't making any sense to them. Baby leaned in and stared at her from across the table. He noticed her feeling uneasy now. "....Barbie...we here. Just tell us, what's on ya mind babe..." she took a deep breath. And thought of a proper way to basically make her point.

"..........I think it was intended."

Everyone frowned and Safaree flinched. He knew where this was getting. He wanted to just grab her out of the meeting and go home. She sounded so delusional at this point, he knew that they wouldn't understand where she was coming from. Therefore, it was no point in her explaining these experiences.

"Nic how can you possibly think this was planned?! NO ONE knew that plane was gonna crash. That faint must've did something to you..." Mack budged back in. Nic's jaw dropped. She became livid.

"You Don't Get It DO YOU?! There HAS To Be Something Behind The Accidents...." she silenced the room. She glanced over at Safaree and put her head down before going on. "......That same night, I received a unexpected call from an unknown caller. I mean I picked up and no one answered....And I...-"

"- Well....That happens to people everytime, Nic. I mean..." Millz shrugged slowly.

She cut her eyes at him and snapped. "You niggas think this shit is a joke?! Thinking 'Oh Thank God We Still Here' NO! The fact that yall eyes are not OPEN to realize this shit is real and just going on with your lives, doesn't fuckin SIT well with me! Oh Like we just made it alive by some got damn LUCK?! Nah...Until You Niggas Take A Minute In To fuckin THINK About All This Bullshit, THEN you'll understand." she stood up grabbed her phone from the table, rushed over to Faree, snatched him up and stormed out the room.

The YM Crew Was Stunned By Nic's furious actions. Wayne raised up from the table bamming his fist onto the wood in anger. They thought she was making it TOO big of a deal and just over-reacting. But When She Snapped, They Had a Wake Up Call. Maybe She Was Right After All. Maybe They Should've Thought About It A Bit.

Nicki power walked all the way to the car as Safaree tried to speed up his pace behind her. She didn't wait on him so she let herself in the car and slammed the door. Seconds later, he got in on the drivers side. He stared at her, watching her legs shake and her chest rise and fall rapidly. She slumped over and burst into tears. He pulled her into his arms and let her cry.

"Why Will Nobody Believe Me?!" she screamed still sobbing. As Nic settle down a bit 15 minutes later, Safaree thought of an idea to solve this problem.

----

"Yes...Mhm. Okay......Now When Can We Meet? Mhm...Mhm...Thank You So Much, Okay, Bye." Safaree hung up the phone and sat it in his lap. He took a deep breath and ran his hand over his face. He sat at the island bar thinking very hard about these recent events. They were all not coming together just right. He made sure he did everything he could to keep that woman in his protection. He'd be damned if he lost her. She was very valuable to his heart and he would do anything for her. He wasn't all to sure of what was going on and why but it had to be dealt with before it got worse.

Nic was fast asleep in her room, obviously exhausted from all the meetings and rehearsals today. She hadn't been getting the proper rest she really needed because she was stressed about the tour and of course these weird flashbacks running through her mind. She couldn't quite focus on any task she was trying to accomplish. She felt like no one really understood how paranoid she was becoming by this and it gave her nightmares. She needed help and protection from someone. She begged to feel safe again and to live her life in peace. That is why she had Faree. If anybody, HE was the one there through times like these and this is why she LOVED him.

-----

Waking Up From a 2hr Nap, Nicki sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. The clock read '10:24pm' and she rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead at a blank spot in the room. Her phone vibrated twice as it pulled her from thoughts. She reached over to her nightstand where the phone was charging and looked at the screen. She had a text message.

#25371:
I love you.

Nicki blinked her eyes as she read who it was from again. All she saw was 5 digits wide across her screen. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't just seeing things but the text was there clear as day. She frowned and was unsure if she should reply to see if they had the wrong number. Although, it was VERY strange that the contact wasn't a regular phone number. She felt a sharp pain rush through her chest as she decided to reply back to the unfimiliar number.

Her: WhoRu?

She sat the phone down still eyeballing the text message. Her heart began to pound, she hopped out of bed to find Safaree in the house somewhere.

"Safaree?!" she yelled out into the hallway. There was no answer. "SAFAREE?!?!" she screamed coming downstairs. She spotted him hanging off the couch snoring his life away. Her face went from "Wth?" To "Oh HEYOL No." As she tried her best to hold back her laugh.

Safaree's leg was dangling from the couch with his mouth wide open. She tip-toed over to him and sat by him. She stared at his face, watching him snore louder and louder in her ear she made a mean mugging stank face at him them giggled. Nicki ran the tip of her nail across SB's Neck and he flinched before his eyes shot open. Nic let out a loud cackle when she saw his face expression. He gave her a death glare then sat up.

"Yeah Yeah. Gon Head And Laugh. Niggas Was Sleepin Good Until Da Kid Had To Fuck It Up. I Was Gettin My Beauty Sleep AWN!" Safaree threw his head back yawning.

"OH Boy SHUT UUUUP! Nigga Please What Beauty Sleep?! Witcha Ugly Ass Loud Ass Snoring." she rolled her eyes trying to keep a serious face.

"My Snores Are Beautiful! Girl WUT." he smacked her with a pillow. She Thumped his nose and gave him a peck on the lips. He repeated her actions only this time the kiss lasted longer than hers. He pulled away and whispered "I love you." Nic paused for a minute and thought about the text message. She smiled back at him and sat on his lap. The thought of the text was pushed to the back of her mind, making it a mental note to tell Safaree about it later.

"Babe, Im Boooorrreed." she pouted.

"What Do You Wanna Do?" he laid back and looked at the ceiling.

"Eh. I dont know..." she got up and walked up to her windows to look outside at the beautiful night. Her neighborhood was rather quiet tonight. No one barely outside but one woman walking down the sidewalk.

"Well lets make a pizza or someth-" Safaree said, but Nicki tuned him out when she noticed the woman on the sidewalk slowing down her pace. She observed the woman. Her walking speed became even slower, as Nic watched her carefully. The woman slowly turned around and glanced straight through Nic's window at her. She caught eyes with Nicki and stared at her.

"OH MY GOD!" Nicki gasped as her heart sunk. She fell back from the window. Safaree jumped up to help her. "Owww.." she whined. "Yo Nic you okay??" he said pulling her up. "...Yeah, Im Fi-" She stood up and looked outside the window and didn't see the woman any more. She ran up closer to the window to see if the woman took off but saw no one in sight.

"Nic....What Happen?"

"There Was Just A Woman Standing Outside This Window! Sh-She Was Right There!" Nic tapped the glass pointing to the spot she saw her in.

"Whoa Nic, are you sure you saw someone?"

"YES! YES I Saw Her! She was staring at me and..."

"Nic. Come on lets go shower. Its okay..." He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, grabbing her wrists and pulling her slowly away from the window. With a puzzled look still plastered across her face he led her upstairs into the bathroom.

Chapter 2

{Kaaay. So Lemme Find Out Its About 50+ Of Yall Reading But Only 10 commenting...YALL BETTER COMMENT OR ELSE -_- Anyway, Enjoy !}

*********************************************

".....Hello?"

The other line was silent, then a few seconds later the phone hung up. Nicki glowered at the phone and glanced at Safaree. "Who Was It?" She saw the worry in his face. "Nobody..." she said slowly putting the phone down. She rubbed her fingers against her forehead and sighed deeply. Safaree got comfortable under the covers and put his arms around Nic. She put her head up against his chest and stared into space thinking. There was silence.

".....Nic...."

"....Yeah?"

"I know today was crazy, unexpected and wake up call but just thank God we're here and that you're okay...."

"...Safaree?"

"Hm?"

"I want you to protect me....please?"

"Im ALWAYS here to protect you, babe." he bent his head down and kissed her forehead. She smiled and looked up at him. "Hold Me Tighter." she took her arms and closed them around his as she began to fall asleep.

------

3 Weeks Later, Nic and Safaree Was Back In LA just wrapping up a meeting for the tour. They were on their way to get food then heading home.

"What do you wanna eat?" Safaree looked over at Nic reading her timeline on twitter.

"Uhhhh.....I just want a Salad." Nic said biting the corner of her mouth not looking up from her phone. She was seeing what her barbz were up to. She thought of something to tweet.

@NICKIMINAJ:
Salad is the key to being sexy barbz! ;P

She scrolled down her TL to see everyone RT and subtweeting her. She giggled at some of her barbz tweets.

@NICKIMINAJ:
Oh hush! :p ---> RT @_InNickiWeTrust: Dead. Yall know she just saying that cuz she on a diet.

@NICKIMINAJ:
RT @NickisCareBear: RT @YoungSpeechless: RT @ItsMarthaBitch: @NICKIMINAJ don't change a THING HB! Your Bod is >>>>>>>>>

@NICKIMINAJ:
Oop! #Vanish! --> RT @MONAY_TM: @NICKIMINAJ Gerrrrrl, Yo Body Be Having Pussies THROBBIN!!!!!

@NICKIMINAJ:
:""""( --> RT @MINAJFAN21: @NICKIMINAJ I wanna have your kids! ;)

Nicki couldn't resist laughing at the comments she was getting back. They had her in tears, she was laughing so hard in the car. Safaree looked at her crazy and shook his head focusing back on the road.

"Yo My Barbz Are Stuuuupid!!! I just CAN'T right now!" she managed to say still laughing. Safaree pulled in the parking lot to a french restraunt. He decided to order them dishes to go to not cause commotion with being noticed. He parked the car and walked inside the building.

Nicki sat in the car continuing to read her timeline 15 minutes later after tweeting. The barbz seemed really excited for her first world tour. Seeing them talk more about it only made her more anxious to see them. The days were quickly approaching for it to start but she wanted to make sure she enjoyed her last days at home before she flew to Australia. Coming out of her thoughts, a loud cry of a child startled her as she looked up and around trying to see where the disturbing noise came from. She didn't see anyone in sight. She took a deep breath in relief as she messed with the buttons on the radio to find a good song to listen to. She caught the last 2 minutes of "Take Care" by Drake ft. Rihanna.

She sat back and bobbed her head to the beat as she looked outside the window at the city. She immediately spotted a little boy standing across the street on the sidewalk staring directly back at her. Her heart dropped when she locked eyes with the boy. He had a wicked stare in his eyes. Seems to say, He didn't look so adorable and sweet. Instead he looked like he wanted to annihilate her. Her heart began to pound as she swiftly took her focus off of him. She glanced over to the restraunt to see if Safaree was coming out in any minute. He was no where in sight, she began to shake her leg nervously. She attempted to look back over in the direction that she saw the little boy and didn't see him anymore. He was gone. She threw her head back and sighed closing her eyes....

In a matter of minutes she drifted off into her deep thoughts and sudden flashbacks of the plane crash flew across her mind. It was so vivid, that the event kept playing seconds after repeatedly. She began to tremble again feeling herself going into another faint as she tried to blink the images away. Out of no where Safaree banged on the drivers side window which made Nicki let out a small scream opening her eyes widely. She evoked out of her panting trying to catch her breath as she heard the knock on the window again. She reached over and opened the driver's door to help Faree in with the bags of food. He sat the food in the back and got in the car.

"What's wrong?? You Okay??" he said looking over her, breathing irregularly.

"Yeah...I'm Fine...." she tried to say still catching her breath.

"You sure? You sound outta breath babe..." still glancing over her.

"Yes. Now Can We PLEASE Get Home" she said rubbing over her forehead trying to ease her thoughts and calming down.

All The Way Home Her And Safaree Were Quiet. She really didn't know if she should just tell him what she saw or if he'd even believe her. She thought of a way to explain to him before they pulled into the driveway, hoping he would understand. Safaree parked the car and got out, coming around and helping Nicki out of her side. She grabbed the food and they headed inside the house.

They went into the kitchen and sat down at the island bar. She began fixing up her salad as Safaree was already chowing down on his food. "DAMN Nigga You Can't Slow Down?! You Act Like You Ain't Ate In 5 years!" He looked up at her and nodded his head, not saying anything because his mouth was full. She shook her head and laughed at him. 10 minutes had settled in and Nicki was about ready to tell Safaree what was on her mind...

"...Safaree?"

"Hm?"

"I Have To Tell You Something..."

Faree sat up straight in his chair wiping his mouth and giving her his attention. "Im Listening, Whats Up?"

"Earlier, I saw this...little boy across the street.......and once I locked eyes with him he gave me this sort of devious look. Like he was staring dead at me. I dont know it startled me so I looked off for minute and when I turned back his way.....he was........gone." she was a bit overwhelmed at remembering the events in her head. It frightened Safaree in a way because he observed how she explained with such apprehension. He glanced down at her hands and saw they were shaking really fast. She couldn't manage to say anything else at this point because she was speechless.

He grabbed Nic's hands and pulled her into a long hug. He held her and rubbed her back as she let out a soft cry. He pulled her back in front of him and held her face. "Look....I don't know what's going but whatever it is, we can get through it."

"NO SAFAREE." she snapped pushing him away. "That's what you're NOT understanding! Something is going on and someone is AFTER me....No I DON'T Feel Safe and Chances Are, I'm Not. These Events Aren't a Coincidence. They Just COULDN'T Be. I Mean Like.....Why Would I Get That Unknown Call The Same Day Of The Crash and The Murder??? Now a little boy stares Me down Like I'm Some Sort Of Target!" she shook her head and laid her face in her hands. "No....No....NO WAY....There Has To Be Some Sort Of Connection With All Of This."

Safaree Maintained His Anger Building Up In Him From Her Snapping. His muscles relaxed thinking about how much was actually going on now. This was becoming serious. She needed to vent. She had so much tension and worry in her that needed to be release. "Listen..." he began. ".....How About We Talk To Some Investigators Or Something To See If We Can Find The Connection. I'm Not Neccessarily Saying That It Could Possibly Be A Death Threat But Just To Make Things Clear, It's Only Right." He took her chin and turned it his way. "Hey...." he quickly leaned in towards her for a kiss.

The Kiss lasted longer than expected and it became passionate. Safaree dipped his tongue in Nicki's mouth intertwining their tongues as he hovered over her face. A Single Tear Escaped Nic's eye as Faree felt it rolling down her cheek. He pulled away and held her face in his soft strong hands once again. He looked over her face as he saw a beautiful woman before him. She searched his eyes while he brushed the tear away from her cheek.

He vowed in his mind that he would try his best to protect this woman with all his heart and soul. He cherished every single moment with her like it was his last. He prayed that soon everything would get better and be back to normal.

[What Would I Do Without Him?] she asked herself still gazing into his big brown eyes. She wrapped her hands around the back of his neck and closed the space in between them again letting him rest his big ass forehead against hers. They closed their eyes together and there they sat in silence taking in this very moment.

"I love you..." she whispered to his lips.

He smirked and replied "I love Y-"

Safaree was cut off by his phone vibrating in his pocket. Nicki let him go and went to clean up her trash. He pulled his phone out and saw that he had a text message from Baby.

Stunna:
We havE an emergeCY meeting tomorrow. Don't telL BARBIE abOUT it, just brInG her tO thE BUIldiNG at 2:3OPm.

Fengali:
Gotcha..

As thoughts processed in his mind on what the meeting could be about, he hoped that there was only good news to come.....

Chapter 1 [Continued]

{Aviiiiite. So The Snippet Had Everyone On Edge With The Sudden Ending And All. Lol I'm Glad You All Enjoyed It ! Thanks For The Comments and For Reading. :) I Warned Yall ! So Now Yall Will DEAL. Kaaaaaay. Enjoy}

*******************************************

She Fainted Right Into Safaree's Arms as everyone immediately jumped up to help her.

"OH MY GOD. NICKI?! NIC! Wake Up! C'mon Babe You Gotta Say Something!" Lauren pleaded, shaking her arms to respond.

Safaree quickly picked her entire body up, she looked helpless. He really tried to retain his composure. He never wanted to see her like this. Everything became overwhelming at this point for everyone.

"Okay Get Her To The Couch, Safaree You Can't Hold Her Like That." Lauren instructed to him. "Someone grab me a cold towel from the bathroom" she pointed towards the restroom. Safaree Gently Layed Her Down and sat next to her and held her hand.

Nicki was now stretched out on the couch and would not wake up. Safaree prayed in hopes for her to responded soon. "Come on Nic, be strong. You can do this." he said under his breath gently shaking her hand. Candi checked her pulse and saw that it was abnormal. She continued to fan her as everyone else watched to see if she'd wake up. Safaree looked over her carefully, his heart was racing and waiting anxiously for any sign from her. "Nic I'm here. We're all here. We need you. You can pull through this. Please...." he hung his head in dolor.

5 minutes past with complete silence. A soft noise came from the couch as everyone's eyes lit up. Nicki's eyes slowly opened and she squinted her eyes at the bright light shining on her. Safaree's heart jumped out of his chest when she made a sudden movement. She quickly became riled at everybody staring at her weirdly. She blinked her eyes a couple times and frowned. "Okay could yall stop staring at me like that?! Yall look like some fucking zombies."

Giggles filled the room at Nic's bitterness. Lauren kissed her forehead and smiled. "You Okay?? Bitch You had Us Scared Straight For a Second!" Nicki eyes shot wide at her and she was perplexed. "Wait. What Are You Guys Talking About?" Lauren looked up at Safaree, Nicki looked at Lauren and Safaree glanced at Nic.

"Nicki......you had a panic attack." Faree said in a low tone.

"............I Did?" She said as she slowly sat up, glancing at everyone.

They all nodded. "But.....H-how? W-w-why? I thought we wer-" Mack cut her off. "Nic, its okay. You're okay now and that's all that matters." Nic felt kind of dumb at the fact that she couldn't even remember fainting. She gently rubbed her slight headache away. "How Long Did I Blackout?"

"About 10 minutes." Candi said.

Baby came back in as the whole bus became silent again. "We stopping in Gainesville for now until we receive word that it is safe to head down to Orlando. Most Roads Are Blocked Off Now So We Have No Other Way. I-10 is backed up so once we hit Lake City we'll hit I-75 down to Gainesville."

"Did they say anything about the crash yet?" Lauren asked.

"Cops said that possibly no one survived. They don't know the cause of the crash yet though." The Driver said scratching his head.

"This is too overwhelming. I'm gonna lay down." Nic needed to clear her mind free. She got up and walked straight to her bed in the back of the bus. She layed down and started to cry. She couldn't quite understand why or how this was happening but she felt uneasy about the whole thing.

As the crew finally settled down, Safaree came in the room and heard Nic's small voice crying. He climbed in the bed next to her and pulled her into his arms. She held onto him and sobbed. They sat in silence for awhile until she was ready to speak again.

"......I have a strange feeling about that plane crash." she said into his chest.

"What Do You Mean......?"

"Like.....Something's Telling Me It Wasn't An Accident."

"I Know You Don't Mean Like A.........Nicki, NO."

She pulled away from him quickly. "Safaree, How Could You NOT Think It Was A Terrorist Attack?! That Shit Almost KILLED US!" He shook his head in denial. "Shit Like That Happens Everyday! ACCIDENTS Happen, Nic. It's Shit We Can't Control!" Her mouth flew wide open at the ignorant comment he stated. "Well If You Stop To Fucking THINK About It, If You Put Two And Two Together, A Murder AND A Plane Crash Happens On The SAME Day in the SAME State. Does That Even BOTHER You?!"

"YES. YES IT DOES! But Can We Do Shit About It??? NO!" He climbed out of bed yelling at her. He really thought at this point, she was just being overdramatic.

"Safaree! Had We Not Stop To Take a Break And Just Kept Going Ahead, That Plane Would've Rammed RIGHT Into Us!"

"I'm going to bed. I don't need this bullshit right now. Good night, Nicki." he got back under the covers and turned his back away from her.

She scowled at him and pouted. Nic really didn't mean to come off at him like that but she felt the need of his protection now, because of what could possibly happen next.

Nic put her arm around his waist and whispered in his ear. "Faree, im sorry. Forgive me?" He smirked at her cuteness. "I forgive you. Now go to sleep." She rolled her eyes. "Safaree, im serious!" she was now acting like a 5 year old. He sighed and turned around towards her. "Fine. I love you. Now Go To Bed." Nicki threw a goofy grin across her face and bent down to kiss him. He lifted his head over hers and deepened the kiss. Their mouths were exploring each others as a moan escaped Nic's lips. She was getting aroused and wanted more than just his lips.

"Nic......we...cant do...this..." Faree managed to say while she kissed and licked up his neck. "Why Not?" she smirked, gently biting his neck. He tried his best to hold back his moans as she teased him. "Nic..." he pulled her off of him. She was confused. "What now???"

He ran his hand over his face and giggled. "We cant do that on this bus. It's too many people and ears on here! Especially for the fact that none of them niggas know we're together." She bit her lip and smirked. [That's what he thinks.] She thought, only referring to Candi and Lauren knowing about their relationship. "Fine. But you owe me when we get back home." She laughed punching his arm. Safaree leaned in for another kiss, took in her bottom lip and bit it. Nic hit him again pulling away. "Don't play with me, you jerk!" Safaree blocked her hit. "Why you always beatin up on a coon?!"

"Awwww. I hurt the widdle maaaaan. Boo Hoo Hooooo." Nic rubbed his cheek and batted her lashes.

A ring came from Nic's phone. She glanced over at it and looked up at Safaree. Nic wasn't really certain about this sudden call. She slowly picked it up and it read across the screen "Unknown". Her breath got stuck in her throat. She began to tremble as she pressed 'answer' and slowly pulled the phone up to her ear............

*******************************************

Safaree was holding the camera up towards Nicki, Wayne and Lauren's face giggling at what Lauren had just said to him. "Yeah Yeah We Outchea Niggaaaaaaas!!!" Lauren blurted out chunking up her deuces and making a weird face to the camera. Nic and Wayne laughed at her. "Okay, Nic Now Everybody Wanna Know If Da Kid Got Any Exclusive Shit Coming Up Soon. Whuchoo Got?!" Safaree pointed the camera at just her now and her eyes lowered. She paused for a minute to get in her hood mode. She smirked up at him and cocked an eyebrow. "Da Kid...Aint Gotta Tell Yall Niggas SHIT About What Im Doing. Just Know When I Come Through I Fuckin COME THROUGH." She Raised Her Voice and got all in the camera's face. Safaree had to back up a bit to give her more room. He peaked over the camera and started bouncin around like a coon. Wayne and Lauren sat back and watched and laughed at them. "Wayne, Tell These Bitches Da Kid Dont Playdat, Cuz In A Minute Ima End Up Pissin On ALL You Dusty BITCHES." She walked off from the camera laughing.

Wayne came up and put his arm around Nic. He looked in the lens and caressed his beard and licked his lips. "Tunechi and Nic in this bitch. We got the Young Money, Cash Money Business In This Bitch. Fengali I see you babe. Yung Mula Baby. KYUH." Wayne Saluted off to the camera as noise was coming from the back of the bus that made Safaree turn around to capture what it was.

Baby and Millz came from the back of Nic's tour bus throwing up Young Money gang signs to Safaree's camera. Stunna came and stood next to Nic and smiled. "This Is Young Money's First Lady, Ms. Nicki Minaj." He put his arm around her and pionted at her. "I tell ya she aint nothing nice! She's a very talented Young Lady and I'm very proud of her success." Nic blushed and smiled.

"Ya know what im sayin, her new album just came out and she doing bigger and better thangs. PINK FRIDAY:ROMAN RELOADED in stores...EVERYWURR." He showed his grill and did his imfamous hand rub as he saluted off. Nicki chuckled at him as she sat back down fixing her hair.

Safaree turned off the camera and sat down next to Nicki on the couch. Lauren saw it was her time to go and followed Wanye, Millz and Baby to go get some drinks. Safaree put his arm behind Nic's back and looked at her with the dumbest grin across his face. She glanced over at him frowning. "What the hell you lookin at?" He giggled and shook his head. She smiled at him and rolled her eyes. It stayed quiet between them for a few seconds until Safaree broke the awkward silence. "Yo I cant wait til we hit up this tour! Im so pump for it."

Nic stared into space grinning wide thinking about the tour. "Yeah I cant wait for my Barbz to see it. They are gonna be so happy. I hope I get to meet alot of them too." She looked up at him through his shades. She paused for a moment and smirked before looking back at everyone in the room. He pulled her close and whispered in her ear. "I swear if we weren't on this bus right now in front all these Niggas I'd whisk you up and have you for dinner." She felt a tingle go down her side as she giggled. Before she melted in his arms and admired his horny actions she caught Millz and Lauren eyeballing them. She blushed in embarrassment and quickly sat up straight elbowing Safaree trying not to laugh.

Candice was in the front of the tour bus pouring her another glass of Baby's new alcohol beverage, GTVodka. She was chatting it up with Gudda and Mack, talking and reminiscing about their high school days.

"So I ran down the hall and that Nigga came from up behind me and jumped on my back! I grabbed his arm and slung him over my head and he fell so hard the Nigga head busted open! All you heard was screaming from the other kids down the hall running to see what happen and shit....man...that day was crazy as hell." Mack Maine looked up remembering the vivid day and shaking his head.

Nicki stood up from the couch, walked to the front to grab a bottle of water out of the mini fridge by the couch. She waved at the boys and looked at Candice and gave her a serious look as if something was wrong. She cocked her eyebrow at her and said, "Hey..Can...let me speak to you in the back real quick, please.." she said in a worried voice. Candi looked as worried as Nic did. "Excuse Me, Yall, I'll be right back..." She got up from the couch and quickly followed Nic to the back of the bus and sat down on the bed. Nic closed the curtains to the back and peeked out to see if anybody was listening in on their conversation. She walked up to Candi and started whispering, "Yo do me & him look suspicious? I mean like does it look that obvious that we have something going on?" she looked at Candi's eyes with worry written across her face searching for an answer from her bestfriend.

"Well...............maybe....just a....little." Candi showed Nic the small amount of space between her fingers. She giggled. Nic's mouth flew wide open and she hit Candi's arm, "That's Not Funny You Slut!" Candi laughed even harder and shrugged. "WHAT?! Its The Damn Truth! Yall Cant Hide SHIT From Us....Nasty Asses." Nic rolled her eyes and smirked, "Whatever." She opened the curtains as she walked back up to the front with Candi following behind.

The YMCMB Family Was having a great night on Nic's tour bus, laughing, chatting and blasting music. The Bus was on its way to Orlando, FL where they would be going to Club LIV to perform and celebrate.

The Driver was instructed to pull over and take a break. They Had Been On The Road Since Yesterday Afternoon coming from New Orleans. The Bus Driver began slowing down the bus carefully through the slow but moving traffic on the highway.

The Bus Came To A Complete Stop As Something Caught Mack Maine's Attention On The TV. He Raised His Voice To Everyone To Settle Down As He Turned Up The Volume To Hear The News. A News Reporter Appeared On The Screen As Everyone Stopped To Tune In To What He Was Saying.

"Breaking News Coming Out Of Miami Dade County. A man has reportedly been found dead in front of Hip Hop Rapper Rick Ross' Miami Gardens Mansion. Police says they found the man shot to death in the front yard of the Rap Star's Home at 7am this morning. Rick Ross was not present at home when the incident occured. Officials are checking security cameras to see if any evidence was found. Information On Who The Man Was Has Not Yet Been Released To The Press. Stay Tuned For More Infromation On This Breaking News at 9..."

The Bus Grew Silent As Everyone looked at each other in awe of what they just heard. Wayne immediately grabbed his phone out to call Rozay. Nic looked over at everyone with worry in her face hoping if her friend was okay. Suddenly, A Loud Roar Of a Plane Flew Near The Area Of The Highway. The Driver Jumped Up and Screamed "LOOK!!!!" as he caught the plane from a distance spinning out of control. In a matter of seconds the plane struck down into the highway causing a big explosion. Everyone on the bus screamed and fell as the bus shook them from the plane crashing. Screams were heard from people outside yelling for help and calling the police. Sirens Rushed past the bus and other cars minutes after. Black Smoke arose everywhere as it became hard to see in the pitch black rode and dim streetlights. Firemen warned everyone to keep calm and stay put inside their cars.

In the bus, sat puzzled faces. Wayne jumped up and paced around. "Mannn, HELL No. We Gotta Get The Fuck Outta HERE." He Took Off His White Muscle Shirt And Stormed To The Back.

"Oh My God........" Nicki begin to panic.

"WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPEN?!" Lauren screamed trying to process what they had just experienced.

"Did Anybody See The Plane Even Come??" Candi asked nervously.

"I sure didn't." said Gudda.

"Niether Did I." Millz looked over at Candi.

"This Shit Is Crazy....." They heard Safaree say.

"What Should We Do?" Lauren looked at everyone waiting for answers.

If The Driver Could Get The Bus To A Safe Location, He Would But Obviously, Traffic Was A Stand Still and Of Course A Big Ass Plane Was Lying In The Middle Of The Highway.

"I'm About To Go Make Some Phone Calls." Stunna said as He Stepped Off The Bus And Walked Into The Grassy Area. He quickly called up some people to let them know about the accident.

Nicki kept silent. She couldn't process the accident. Tears began steaming down her face. She became overwhelmed and caught short of breath and grabbed on to Safaree for dear life. She was traumatized and very afraid at this point. Safaree grabbed onto Nic's arms and his eyes widened at how hard she was breathing now. "Woah. Hey Nic, You Okay?!" This was becoming serious. Lauren jumped up and moved over to Nicki and bent down in front of her. "Nicki! Say Something Baby! It's Okay, We're Here. We're Here! Calm Down Babe!" Nic couldn't manage to say anything at the moment as she panicked. Candi grabbed her water and fanned her to calm down. "Here Drink Some Of Your Water. You Gotta Calm Down." She Held Her Face and Made Her Sip Some Water.

Nic's Eyes Became Big Staring Through The Window At The Scene happening only 10 minutes up the road. Her heart kept jumping as she was trying to process what was happening at this very moment. She suddenly had a panic attack. Safaree's heart dropped. He held onto her and shook her to calm down. "YO Nic! You Okay?! NICKI?! NICKI ANSWER ME!!!" She glanced at him quickly, before everything went totally black......
