Chapter 22

{Forgive me in advance. PLEASE COMMENT. Enjoy!}

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

Nicki slowly stretched her legs out as she felt her feet hit the end of the front door. She rolled over on her stomach as her face was still buried in her arms. A tiny sound of birds chirping outside hit her ears which fully woke her up.

Nic rose up and squinted her eyes looking around her, noticing that she had fell asleep on the floor of her hotel. Her thoughts automatically went back to last night.

[Safaree.....] She twisted her face in confusion as she got up and went to the door. The door cracked open and she spotted Safaree sitting against the wall opposite from her door with his head resting on his knees.

"Safaree." she whispered. He didn't wake up.

"Safareeeeeee" he moved a little.

"SAFAREE."

"Hmm." he said with his head still down.

"GET IN HERE." she said with an attitude and rolled her eyes, turning to go back into the suite.

He jumped up and ran into the room, locking the door behind him. Nicki moved to the bedroom and sat on the bed with her arms crossed, waiting on some dumbass story or excuse and lie for SB to tell her. He came into the room looking at her nervously.

He put his hands up infront of him before she could yell at him.

"Nic..."

"Can you believe I fucked up like half my mixtape songs last night??? HAHA! Wow." She shook her head, looking down at nothing. He heard her giggling.

SB looked at her weird as if she wasn't so much mad about his disappearance last night than her first show.

"Really?"

"No no wait, it gets better!" she giggled. "I fuckin missed like half my steps on this one song. HA! How embarrassing." Nicki interupted him once more and began cracking up again.

"Ahaha...Wow." he uneasily scratched his head in confusion at why she was finding this amusing instead of yelling or cursing and complaining about how bad she messed up.

"And you know what cracks me up THE MOST?!?!" she unfolded her arms and her eyes lit up at him.

He still was a bit nervous but put a slight small smile across his face. "Yeah?"

"So before I did A$$, I told the crowd to countdown to bring yo ass on stage but then you ain't show up and OMG you shoulda seen there fucking faces! HAHAHHAAAAHHHAAA!!! NOOOO NOOO NO WAIT! You should've seen MY face! Wow. How fucking em.bar.ras.sing. I cannnnnooooot." she fell back onto the bed and started cackling again.

His smile wiped off quickly as he finally got where she was going with this. It became silent.

"Look Nicki, I-"

"Where were you?" Nic's voice was almost at a calm whisper. She never looked up at him.

"I...I um..Well I had to leave to go to the dressing room...b-but this crazy bitch pulled me into a room and you know..." his arm reached over his head to the back of his neck as he glanced down in silence for a minute.

"Know what, Safaree?" Her face was red, tears filled her eyes and her breathing was irregular. She pulled back up to look him in his eyes.

He slowly went back up to see her face and his jaw slightly dropped.

"Listen Nicki, she knocked me unconscious and I couldn't do nothing! She-she sedated me with this drug andtookmebacktoherhotelandIfeltsosicksodizzybutIcouldntseeandshewouldntstopandIcouldntstopwhatIwasdoingshetookovermybodyandandand..."

"STOP! SAFAREE STOP IT!" Nic held her hand up to stop his babbling. More tears fell down her face. "YOU UTTER-FUCKING-LY DISGUST ME! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?!"

"NICKI. I was KIDNAPPED and sedated with a fucking DRUG. How was I supposed to know what I was doing?!"

"SAFAREE, PLS."

"You don't understand what the fuck just happened to me last night! I COULD'VE BEEN DEAD, ONIKA."

She hated when he called her by her government. It pissed her off even more.

"I stood on that stage BY MYSELF and made a COMPLETE LUNATIC out of myself! That was my FIRST SHOW of my FIRST world tour! And for you to be SELFISH and leave the ENITRE SHOW to go fuck a bitch was just OKAY?! I'm not understanding!"

"SELFISH??? You possibly CAN'T be calling ANYONE SELFISH when CLEARLY you just thought ONE FUCKING SHOW was more important than ME being in DANGER."

"BUT!!!! Where were YOU when I said EYEEEEE was in danger?!?!?! Did you come to MY RESCUE??? Huh?! Well guess what Safaree, KARMA IS A MUTHAFUCKIN BITCH." She jumped up and pound her fist in her hand getting up in SB's face. They were both livid.

"TAHAHAA!!! You sholl right, Karma IS a BITCH." he nodded his head and smirked.

"Hmph. Glad you KNOW." She was now on her feet and standing in front of him, crossing her arms again.

"OH But LET'S NOT pretend we got AMNESIA. LET'S NOT bring up the fact that EYE was in YOUR shoes a month ago, Nicki."

"WHAT???"

"You have NO muthafuckin right to paint ME as the bad guy when EYE took MY ass out to the streets of LA to find YOUR ass. But since I'M A GROWN ASS NIGGA, I can do WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT."

He told her the same words she told him when she walked in the house the next day from being with Drake that previous night. Nic's eyes grew wide and gave him a harsh cold glare. She couldn't even respond to him.

"Yeah. Yeah. Now you see how that shit feels??? But then again....'YOU HAVE SECURITY. YOU DON'T NEED ME' right, Nic? So WHY am I even here again??? You got alllllll the protection you need."

"So now you're trying to compare MY situation with yours as if I had planned the shit and YOURS just 'HAPPENED'?!"

"THAT'S your problem, Nicki! STOP PLAYING THE FUCKIN VICTIM. STOP IT! Noone's blaming you for SHIT. You're always assuming someone is blaming YOU for everything!"

"WHATEVER, SAFAREE. Since you wanna sit here and lie.....Like, how the fuck you gon let a WOMAN do that shit to you???? I don't get it."

"I suppose the same way Drake got YOU to do the same."

Her eyes grew large at his comment which made her heart and jaw drop.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. GO. JUST GO. UGH! FUCK!!!!!" She pointed to the door motioning for him to leave.

"Hmph. Aint gotta tell me twice." SB shrugged his shoulders and ran to the closet to grab his suitcases and backpack.

Nic walked to the bathroom and slammed the door. She sat on the toilet seat cover and put her head down. Her legs were shaking uncontrollably as she felt tears hit her bare thighs. She repeatedly wiped her wet cheeks as she listened to the sound of him packing his clothes up.

"Shit. I'm not finna sit here and fucking take this shit. Guess aint NOBODY safe 'round here. Can't trust nobody, can't trust nothing, anymore. I'm sitting here doing the best I can for us and you wanna get after me because I wasn't present for your show? Mannn..." he was talking to himself.

"....Didn't even bother to ask if I was okay tho. Niggas over here drugged up and can't even remember shit. Bitch done kidnapped me, Ion even know how the fuck. Boyyyy, sure is some trippy shit going on lately...." he grabbed his suitcase, put his backpack on, grabbed his other LV handbag and walked to the front. He took her blackberry and his key to the suite out of his pocket, placing it on a dresser by the door and yelled out to her.

"Have fun in Australia and Japan."

She heard his voice leaving out the front door. She lifted her head a bit and glared at the bathroom door. Debating to see if he was really gone.

---

Safaree went down to the front desk and checked out as he was on his way to the Adelaide airport by himself to head back to his apartment in LA. He figured he and Nicki would never get along as long as weird shit kept happening around them. It was best for them to keep their distance at the moment.

Safaree was slowly starting to believe that something sketchy was going on. Now that he was receiving the texts and Private calls and now slipped up with being kidnapped. Things were becoming serious and he was now taking things into precaution.

Now that Safaree separated himself from Nicki once again, she would have to do the rest of the Australia shows, Japan and possibly the upcoming Summer Jam events in the states by herself.
