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


Lauren heard a soft knock at her front door, hoping it would be Nic. Nicki stood at the front door waiting and thinking of the right words to explain to her friends about what had been going on. She opened the door and smiled wide greeting her best friend and giving her a long hug.


"Hey boo! It's good to see you ma." Lauren said pulling away from their hug.


"You too mama!" Nic said grinning and walking past Lauren inside the house.


She walked in to see Candi, Thembi and TT sitting around the coffee table in the living room already having drinks. They turned to see Nicki coming in. Nic ran straight to them screaming and eager to see her friends once again.


"GWURL lemme po' you up a drank!" Candi ran to the kitchen and fixed her a homeade strawberry margarita with pink salt crystals around the rim.


Back in the living room they made Nic get comfortable and sit on pillows around the table in front of Lauren's flatscreen TV. Thembi began to start conversing about something funny that happened the other day. The others were giggling and listening to her story as Candi was coming back in to give Nicki the beverage she made her.


"Thanks ma." Nic said smiling to Can and then taking a sip while listening to Thembi's story.


"...With a quick look to my left, this nigga over here crying his eyes out to some Taylor Swift song.....I'M LIKE...'The fuck you crying for?!' and he was all 'Maaaaannn, this that song that had me in my feelins....she be preachin shawty.' I couldn't do nothing but slap him in his big ass head." Thembi said with straight face, while the girls was nearly in stomach pains from laughing so hard. They were wiping tears away and trying to catch their breath. Nicki pulled out her blackberry and looked at her twitter for a moment before tweeting.


@NICKIMINAJ: Girls nite out w/ TT, Candice, Lauren & Thembi. ;)


She took another sip before looking back at her timeline. There were her nosy barbz, wanting to know all her business again. She chuckled then smirked.


@NICKIMINAJ: Well wouldn't you like to know. .-. ----> RT @TeamMinajWales: @NICKIMINAJ oooh! what are you guys doing? :D


@NICKIMINAJ: RT @NickiConquers: RT @YoungSpeechless: RT @NickiBarbPink: right!!! :((( RT @TeamMinajNY: Dead @ her already shuttin niggas down. ://


@NICKIMINAJ: Thanks babe! XO ---> RT @StilliriseTM: @NICKIMINAJ have fun! enjoy your day!! :-* xoxo


She smiled and put her phone back in her lap as Lauren caught her attention.


"So whats been going on with you, Nic? You haven't been looking so well lately. Is something bothering you? You know we're here to talk babe. Let it out if you need to..." Lauren said as the others agreed comforting her. Nic's expression changed at them as a rush of nerves went through her stomach. Her heart began to pound and she took a deep breath glancing at everyone in the room with worried faces. Nicki looked down and began to speak. Directly to Candi and Lauren since they were there when everything first went down.


"Well, uhh...ever since the accident....I've been experiencing some weird ass shit...."


A flashback of the random people she caught staring at her came across her mind. Nic threw her hands up to her head trying to forget the vivid faces that haunted her. "These people...the-they stare at me...I-I see them and they give me these creepy looks. Look this is some REAL LIFE shit. Not that crazy ass shit you see in them gotdamn movies, I'm talking random ass people STARING at me like I did something wrong to the world. I know I'm not trippin. It's like they're angered about something....I hope it isn't because I'm 'Nicki Minaj' or if I'm doing something wrong out here. It-It has to be somethin more than that....I-I-I don't know exactly what it is but...b-" Nic buried her face into her knees and began to cry. Thembi scooted over to rub her back and confort her. TT, wiping away tears of her own, feeling her pain, wondered to herself on why her bestfriend was suffering like this. She didn't quite understand why all of this was happening to her.

Candi and Lauren learned about what went on after the whole crash and never knew that this was happening to Nicki. They kind of felt bad for not being there while it all went down. Clearly she was in need of help, love, comfort and protection which Safaree himself could only give so much of. Considering the fact that he was the only one who actually believed her about the whole thing. Plus little did she know, he was finding out about it himself.....

"Wow..Does Safaree know about this...?" TT leaned in raising an eyebrow to Nicki.

Nic frowned and her heart dropped. "Oh GOD No. I wouldn't want him to know about what these strange text messages actually say either..." she grabbed her phone from her lap and pulled up the txts. She then showed them all one by one passing her phone around as she continued explaining. "He only knows about the Unknown calls but I never showed him the messages. He'd flip out if he read them."

"What are you gonna do about it? Have you reported these threats?" Lauren asked passing the phone back to Nic.

"Well I have a private detective investigating everything that's happened since day one. He told me today he found out some new information so me, Baby and Wayne are gonna go figure out what's going on."

They gave Nicki a hug saying that they will pray for her and hope everything gets better. Thembi went to go refill the girls' glass of margaritas. Candi took the blanket sitting on the couch behind them and shared it with Nic as they sat closer to get ready for the movie. Lauren got up to pop in the movie "Harlem Nights".

"Do you have any idea on who it could possibly be?" TT asked scooting closer to Candi and Nic to share the big blanket also.

"No...I mean...I cant really make out who it MIGHT be....it hasn't really crossed my mind yet. I have NO idea to be honest." Nic said thinking back to herself. Candice reappeared in the room with a fresh tray of drinks for the girls. She cut off the lights as everyone finally settled down to watch the movie. Nicki grabbed her phone and tweeted.

@NICKIMINAJ: About to watch Harlem Nights w/ the girls now! Love this movie. :)

Before she could put her blackberry back down, a call came from Safaree. She quickly got up so she wouldn't disturb the others and excused herself. Nic went into the kitchen and answered the phone.

"Hey Bae."

"Nic, I got the cameras setup all around the house and we have monitors for them in the office. I'll show you when we get home. I'm out with Rex right now."

"Oh thank you so much! What would I do without you! and that's fine. I'll call back when I'm on my way home."

"Whoa, you sure you gon be alright driving back home late? Anything could happen...." Safaree was concerned.

Nic sighed and rolled her eyes at his negative thinking. "Why you always gotta think negative? I'll be fine, trust me. Make it home before me though. Love you."

"I will....love you too."

They hung up and Nicki went back into the living room with the girls. She eventually finished her second margarita and It seemed that now everything was very hilarious to them. After the movie finally ended, they played a game of spades and had old school music playing in the background. Nic was having lots of fun with her BFFs, something she hadn't really enjoyed in a while because of her work standing in the way. It was almost 1am when Safaree called Nic back to let her know he was now heading home. That was her cue to wrap the night up with her friends. The last game of cards ended as she got her things together and said her goodbyes to Lauren, TT, Thembi and Candice. They made sure she left the house safely and told her to call when she made it home.


--------

On Nicki's way home, she called SB to let him know she was just leaving Lauren's crib. She drove down the streets of L.A. with few street lights on. A little nervous being out this late without her security or SB, she hurried home as fast as she could. Her phone began to ring and without her looking to see who was calling, thinking it was just Lauren or Safaree, she answered.

"Hello?"

"..............."

"Helloooo??"

".....I See You." they whispered.

"What? Who is this??" Nic was really confused and tried to understand the person on the phone.

"..................."

"Look whoever this is don't cawl my fucking phone again." she pressed end and focused back on the road. Her heart beated a little faster. Only 9 minutes left til she got home. Another ring from her phone came in and she looked at the number across the screen this time. It read "Unavailable" and she pressed ignore. Nic shook her head wondering who kept playing on her phone and had thoughts about getting her number changed soon for this reason. When she finally pulled into the drive thru of her home, she parked the car in her garage and grabbed all her things. Another txt message was sent to her phone under the same 5 digits. She opened the message and carefully read over it....

#23571:
You can't get away from me...


Her:
WHORU???

No one replied back. Nicki quickly hopped out the car and ran into the house. Safaree heard the door slam downstairs and came down to see what was going on. He saw Nic running past him heading upstairs. She was in shock and very frightened. He caught her by her arm and pulled her in front of him. Nicki began to babble and SB couldn't understand her words.


"Wait Nicki! SLOW DOWN." he yelled over her voice. "What's going on? Why you shakin so hard??"


She avoid telling him about the text so he wouldn't get unhinged. That's the last thing she wanted him to do infront of her. So she told him about the unknown call she received on her way home. Tears began to fall down her face as she struggled to explain how it happened. Safaree held her close and and became livid at why this person kept calling and threatening Nicki. He thought about what he could do to try and stop this nightmare so they could live their lives in peace. He would do anything to protect he and Nic, even if it meant putting his life in danger.


"Listen Nic, Whatever happens, I will always be here for you. I'm protecting you. Trust me, This some creepy shit but I gotta be strong for us. When I find out who's doin this crazy shit, they won't know what's comin. I promise I'll do whatever I can babe. Do you trust me....?" He looked into her weary eyes. She looked up into his soft almond-colored eyes with tears in hers. She couldn't speak, yet she continued to stare at him.


"Nic..." he called her name again. Nicki continued to gaze. "Nic...You...DO......trust me....right?" The tears ran down her face again. Still speechless and gazing into his eyes. SB became worried that Nic might have went into a shock. He shook her gently grasping onto her arms firmly and tried to get her attention once more. "NICKI! NIC....ONIKA...D-" In a split second, She yanked Safaree from behind his neck and crashed her lips upon his as she kissed him deeply. More of her tears smeared against his cheeks as he lifted her up and carried her to her bedroom. He softly laid her on the all pink bed set of her queen sized bed. She reached and pulled him on top of her as she sensually caressed and kissed him once more. He took in her bottom lip and sucked on it as a soft moan escaped her mouth. Nic removed his shirt, fitted cap, chains and unbuckled his pants without breaking the kiss. 


"Safaree.." Nicki managed to say, letting SB know she needed help getting undressed. He immediately began undressing her and only left her in her thongs and bra. She scooted back against the headboard and smirked at him. Safaree crawled up closer in between her legs and kissed her stomach. She brought her hands down to his face bringing it up to hers, kissing him once again. As soon as Gali was ready to rip her thong off, Nicki's phone ranged. She rolled her eyes and let out a small scream.


"You want me to handle that?!" He said with an annoyed face.


Nic shook her head no and sighed before finally answering the call. The name appeared onto her blackberry screen and to her surprise of who it was, her eyes shot wide at the phone and she froze.


"WHAT. Nicki WHAAT?!" He glanced up at her in alert. "Is it them???"


Nic ignored him and picked up her phone as she slowly said "H-H..-hello?"


"Long Time, No Talk.....I Miss You Girl." his deep voice said with a wide grin across his face.

".....Drake?" An unsure tone was sounded in her voice as she was speechless at his unexpected call.
