Secrets Out In The Open (Part One)

"Secrets are like atomic bombs on their last three seconds... If messed with they will blow up in your face. But why keep them anyway? I have no clue." - S. Samuels

Nicki woke up out her sleep to the sound of her phone going off. She slowly rolled over hoping to see Safaree but she didnt. The last thing she remember was walking into the bedroom, and Safaree walking up to her. She had no clue what happened after that. Nicki sat up, and stretched while yawning a little. She let her arms fall out of the air, and hit the bed. She then reached over, and picked up her phone.  She unlocked it, and looked at her notifications. Nicki had four missed calls, three voicemails, and one text message. Nicki decided to open the text first.

Faree-Kins: Im really confused about last night. I dont know what came over you but I think we need to talk about it. Hit me up later when you are ready.

Nicki scratched her head in confusion. She had no clue what Safaree was talking about. She sat still for a few seconds trying to think of what happened but she couldnt. Nicki couldnt come up with nothing, but she knew she would find out later. She went ahead on her phone to look at the missed calls.
It was one from her mom, Candi, Lauren, and Manny. Nicki looked at the times that the calls came in. She wondered why her mom was calling her at five in the morning. Her thoughts raced until she heard light crying coming from down the hall. Nicki got up out of her bed, and walked out of her room. Nicki didnt know who was crying. Nicki walked into Alli's room, and saw Alli sitting up in her crib.
"What the hell......" Nicki said with her voice trailing off. She knew she didnt go get Allianna last night so how did she get home. Nicki walked over to the crib, and picked Alli up. She felt the diaper, and realized it was wet. Nicki grabbed a diaper from the big stack, and walked out of the room. She made a beeline back to her room, and went straight to the bathroom. She flicked the light switch, and walked over to the changing bed she had in there. Nicki decide to listen to the voicemails now. She called it, and put her passcode in. She put the phone on speaker, and sat it down. The first message was from Manny, his voice beamed through the phone speaker.
"Good Morning Queen, I was just calling to let you know that you have a gig to go to. You have to go to Memphis to make a appearence on Jay-Z's tour. You will be preforming 'Monster' with him, and Kanye. Also a few joints off of yall album together. You will leave on the private jet tomorrow night, cause I know Allianna has a doctor appointment in the morning. I have the hotels booked, as well as the cars. Just call me later, so I can make the finalizations. Love ya Lil Sis." Nicki pressed '9' to save the message. The next message was from Candi.
"Wake Ya Black Ass Up!!!!! Look we are meeting up at the park at ten. Today is our Girls Day Out with Babies. Dont be late either, this aint no business meeting. Get your ass here heifer." Nicki made a mental note to slap Candi in the back of her head. She then pressed '7' to erased that message. The next message was from her mom.
"Onika Tanya Maraj, I didnt raise you to disrespect me the way you did this morning. I understand that Allianna is your daughter but dont you dare come to my house like that. Until you are ready to apologize for your behavior, dont contact me. Im very disappointed in you." Nicki looked at the phone with a shocked facial expression. She was so confused again. She didnt remember going to her mom's house, nor did she remember being disrespectful to her either. Shhe would never disrespect Mama Maraj no matter what was going on. After listening to all the messages Nicki had finished changing Alli. She looked at the clock, and saw it was eight fifteen. She knew she had to start getting dressed if she wanted to be on time. Just as Nicki was about to pick Allianna up, she got sick to her stomach. She dashed to the toilet, and threw up everything inside her.

Safaree sat on his bed thinking about last night. He didnt know what happened with Nicki. He thought over the events of their night, and he didnt see where he could've went wrong. He spoke from his heart, and thats how he knew he didnt say anything out of order. He had texted her, andhad yet to see a response. Safaree needed a female's prospective of this situation. Normally it would be Nicki but because now she was his somewhat spouse, he couldnt go to her. Over the course of his break up with Nicki he became really close with Thembi. She was like his sister now, and he could talk to her about anything. One thing he liked about Thembi was that she wasnt biased. Safaree thought about the situation once more before  he picked up his phone, and called her.
"Pam! Pam! Whats up Big bro?" Thembi yelled into the phone, answering on the third ring.
"Raaaaahhhhh Raahhhh Pull it!" Safaree yelled back. They feel out in laughs.
"How are you big brother?" Bembi asked.
"Im okay." Safaree said.
"Nope. Nun uh. Whats up?"
"Its Nicki....."
"Nicki.... But I thought yall was good."
"I did too until last night."
"Wait..... Last night?"
"Yeah. She texted me, and told me to come over. So me being me, and we not talking since we got back from Vegas I went. When I got there she had this bomb ass set up. Candles lit, sexy outfit.... Anyway the whole nine. Then after it was all said, and done she went off. She called me broke, and basically said I wasnt shit." Safaree stated.
"You're kidding.... Right?" Bembi said gasping.
"Hell naw, I was so caught off guard I didnt even have a comment."
"Do you know what made her go off like that?"
"No. I didnt say anything offensive."
"Are you sure? Was you drinking?"
"No I was as sober as one of the earth people running in the jungle." Safaree said laughing.
"You know what Safaree..... Im done." Bembi said chuckling.
"Naw.... But on a serious note, I dont know what to do."
"Look, Best thing to do is to let the shit simmer. You know Nicki when she mad she dont hear nothing anyone else is saying to her. Just lay low, and eventually she'll come to her senses." Bembi said.
"I noticed something though."
"What was that?"
"The look in her eyes wasnt of her. Like she wasnt herself. I have no clue, but I knew I was looking at Nicki but it wasnt Nicki looking at me." Safaree said somewhat confused.
"Well there is only one way to find out whats really up."
"What?"
"And this could help yall get better with each other as well."
"What is it?"
"Therapy." Bembi said. She heard Safaree's loud sigh.
"No offense Bem but I dont want no nigga who dont know me telling me about me."
"Safaree wait..... Dont knock it before you try it. Therapy really helps."
"I dont know." Safaree said shaking his head.
"Just try it, WITH Nic. See how it goes."
"I'll think about it."
"Okay, and while you do that Im going on my date."
"Date? Its nine forty in the morning." Safaree asked curiously.
"Breakfast date."
"Oh okay. Well I'll let you go."
"Okay. Try the therapy."
"We'll see."
"Alright. I love you big brother." Thembi said getting in her car.
"Love you too lil sis."
"Talk to you later."
"Mhmm."

Ziare sat at his desk looking at the pictures he had. He looked at Vincent standing over Lauren. Ziare shook his head in disgust. He would never ever in his life put his hand on a woman. He could recall one time he did though. She was going off on him about "working late". He argued back with her and in a split second she was up in his face. She was punching him in the chest, and slapping him. Then all of a sudden she grabbed his car keys, and slashed him across the face. Thats when he grabbed her by the arm, and pushed her into the wall. He charged her, and wrapped his hand around her neck. She kicked him in the crotch, causing him to hit the floor. He still doesnt think she fully forgave him for what he did. Although she came back to him after the incident, he knew back then it still bothered Nicki. Ziare continued looking closely at the pictures until his secretary broke into his office.
"Hey baby." She said walking over to him. Ziare opened the drawer on the side of his desk quickly, and threw the pictures in there.
"Dont call me baby in the office."
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because I said so." Ziare said as she sat on his lap.
"Thats not a good enough reason.... Baby."
"Stop it Shawna."
"No." She said standing up. She lifted up her skirt showing Ziare her sky blue thong. She watched him, as she slid the thong down over her thighs. She let it hit the floor, as she walked back over to him. She lifted her foot, and put it on his thigh. She then spreaded her legs, and licked her finger. She put her finger on her clit, and played with it until she moaned.
"Ooohhh Ziare...... Mmmm"
"Damn...." Ziare resposned. Shawna then moved her foot closer to Ziare dick. She ran it slowly over it, feeling it get harder. In her response she rubbed her clit faster. Ziare felt his dress pants get tighter around his dick. Just when he was about to reach for it Shawna dropped to her knees, and undid his belt. She then ripped his boxers open from the opening on the front. Ziare's dick sprung free, and his office door sprung open as well. Ziare went into panic mode until he realized that it was Shanna, Shawna's twin sister. She shut the door, and locked it. She walked over to Ziare's desk, and pushed all the folders filled of pictures on the floor. Before Ziare knew it, she had her legs spread open waiting for him to feast. Shawna gripped his dick tightly before she enveolped it inside her warm hot mouth. Ziare thought about Nicki once more before he enjoyed himself with every man's fantasy... A threesome with twins.

Nine Hours Later

Nicki, Candi, & Lauren walked into Red Lobster laughing, and joking about old times. They had worked up quite a appetite after their long day. First thing they did was take a walk through the park. Candi had brought a bag of bread crumbs so Allianna, De'Andre, and Isaiah could feed the ducks. They had stopped that though after Allianna was squeezing one duck's mouth shut. She was holding the bill with one hand, and pinching its feet with other. She then poked its eye with her little pointer finger. Nicki, and Lauren was trying to get her to let the duck go while Candi keep saying "Safaree's Baby!!!" while dying laughing. Nicki, and Lauren on the other hand didnt find anything funny. The second thing they did was went to "Ben & Jerry's". It was going good until Isaiah snuck behind the counter, and took a whole tub of chocolate ice cream. He walked over to a corner, and ate the whole tub, causing Candi to pay seventy-eight dollars for it. This time around Nicki, and Lauren was laughing at her. The next stop was at "Build-A-Bear". It was going good until Alli & Isaiah ganged up on the male worker. He was holding Allianna while filling up her pink bear. Just as he switching to fill up Isaiah's blue bear, Alli pulled the tube that the stuffing came out of. It was off until Isaiah kicked the button, and Alli waved the tube wildly. Nicki, and Candi ran over getting both of them. This time Lauren was laughing on her own.
After all of the problems that happened today Lauren took De'Andre to see her sister. Candi dropped Isaiah off with her brother. Nicki on the other hand kept Alli with her.
They sat down at the table waiting on their lobster tails, and clams. Their waiter had just brought their drinks, and walked away when Lauren decided to say what she wanted to say for a long time.
"De'Andre has autisum!!!!" She yelled out. Candi damn near choked on her soda.
"What!?!" Nicki yelled, then looked around the half empty place.
"He has had it since birth. Its been hard for me, and I need support from my girls now." Lauren said as tears stained her face. Her eyes was red, and puffy.
"We understand. But why didnt you tell us about this sooner?" Candi asked putting her hand on Lauren's shoulder.
"Yeah. Like you know we share everything together..... Why didnt you say something?" Nicki asked opening her juice.
"I thought Vincent would support me but when I found out what he did to me when I went to the hospital...... fuck him."
"Naw that shit was fucked up. I would've sliced his dick off and made him suck that shit." Candi said banging her fist against her hand. Nicki nodded in agreement. She was mad as hell when she found out that Vincent gave Lauren not one, not two, but three STD's.
"Yeah he was fucked up for that but you are still going to keep him around for De'Andre right?"
"Nicki he beat my ass. What do you think?"
"What are you talking about?" Nicki asked seriously. Lauren snatched her shades off her face, and moved her bang out of the way. She had a black eye, and she had three big gashes on her forehead.
"Why didnt you tell me and Candi about this?" Nicki stated as she looked over and noticed that Candi was a little too calm. "Dont tell me you knew about him beating her ass, and NOBODY told me about this!?!"
Candi looked away. Nicki looked between Candi and Lauren. She was beyond livid. She got up from the table, and picked Allianna up out of her high chair. Nicki grabbed her purse, and her diaper bag.
"Yall wrong. What about never keeping secrets from one another." Nicki said before throwing a $100 dollar bill on the table. She looked at Candi, and Lauren one last time before she turned, and walked toward the door. Once she reached it she looked to make sure there was no paps around, and Nicki walked out... Not looking back.

Candi looked at Nicki walking out of the door, then at Lauren.
"What the hell made you say that?" She asked.
"I dont know. I got caught up." Lauren said in defense.
"No your black ass got us hung. Now she mad at us."
"I didnt mean to Candi."
"Oh My God. Fuck it. Let's go." Candi said getting up from the table but then she stopped.
"Wait.... I came here to eat, and thats exactly what Im going to do." She said walking back to the table, and sitting down. Lauren looked at the door, then at Candi. She had been through alot before, and now was being hit with more obstacles; But she knew she would make it pass and everything would be back to normal.

Nakia was walking up to Nicki's house door when someone crept up from behind her and grabbed her waist. She jumped forward, and turned around swinging. The person dodged her punches, kicks, and grabbed her hands.
"Chill Nic damn." Nakia stopped moving and pushed the person's hoody off.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"Thats the hello I get. Really Nicki?"
"You damn right." Nakia smirked rolling her eyes, and stumbling up to her door.
"Why you acting like that toward me?"
"I dont even know your black ass so you can leave." Nakia snarled while unlocking the door, and walking inside. Just as she was about to shut the door, the man put his foot in the crack.
"Stop playing stupid Nicki. You know who the fuck I am."
"Who do you think you are talking to & I suggest unless you want a chainsaw going through your ankle you move your foot." Ziare looked at Nakia and pushed the door open, walking in the house. She looked at him like the fool he was.
"Why dont you get your monkey ass out, and leave me alone?"
"Cause I dont want to, and Im not going to." Ziare said walking up on Nakia. "And there is nothing you can do about it." Nakia looked at him, and smirked she walked over to the closet, and opened it. She kicked off her tennis shoes, and hung up her bags.
"Where is Allianna?" Ziare asked. Nakia looked at him, then reached on top of the closet for this box.
"She is with her uncle."
"Why the fuck...." Before Ziare could finish his sentence, Nakia had him pinned against a wall with a nine millermeter at his crotch.
"Im about sick of your high yellow bootleg Laz Alonzo wanna be stank ass! You have been bothering us over, and over when you know we dont want your ass!! Now Nicki has been the nice guy, she has been sweet to you about leaving her alone BUT I GUESS that I have to tell you...." Nakia backed away from Ziare, and cocked the gun. She then put it right on top of his dick.
"If I see you bothering Nicki or coming around I will PERSONALLY blow your little dick, and balls off!!! You got it? Huh, You little punk bitch!?! You got it?"
"You better chill, you arent going to punk me. Im a man." Nakia moved the gun, and shot it a can off the counter in the kitchen. Ziara jumped, and Nakia grabbed his neck.
"You see that.... You see how much good aim I got? Next time it will be you body organ. Now get your PUNK BITCH ASS OUT!" She yelled pushing him toward the door. Ziare turned red in the face. He pulled out this big envelope, and threw it on the floor.
"Maybe you should look at that. Goodbye." Ziare said walking out the house. Nakia looked at the envelope, and ran over to the door. She opened it, and yelled out.
"And with eight inches.... Bew Bew, You aint no MAN."
"Fuck You!!!" Ziare said looking back at her.
"Awww the little boy is mad... Want some cookies & milk to make you feel better?" Nakia said in a baby voice. Ziare shook his head, and walked off of Nicki's property. Nakia laughed while walking back in the house.
"Better leave..... Punk ass."

The Next Day

Safaree walked into Nicki's house early this morning. He heard alot of noise coming from the kitchen, and Allianna crying. He shook his head, and threw his keys in the bowl. Safaree walked into the living room, where the crying was coming from. As soon as he walked in Alli spotted him.
"Alli-Cat give mommy a few minutes.... I have to pack your bag." Nicki yelled from the kitchen. Safaree looked at Alli, and walked over to her. As soon as he made it right in front of her she was reaching for him. He pulled her up out of her play pin, and rocked her in his arms. Alli was still crying, but was calming down slowly. She was cough hard, and Safaree didnt like how it sounded. He made a mental note to talk to the doctor about this today. He sat down on the couch, and continued rocking Alli. She climbed up his body, and put her head on his shoulder. She balled up her legs, and her little butt was in the air. Alli then put her thumb in her mouth, and dozed off to sleep. Safaree looked at her, and smiled. He was such a proud dad.
"Okay Alli mommy is here." Nicki yelled again coming out of the kitchen.
"Shhhhhh!!!! She's sleep." Safaree said whispering. Nicki smirked, and sat the diaper bag on the couch.
"I have to get my shoes, and we can go." She whispered. Safaree nodded.
"Im going to the car. Just come out there when you are done."
"Okay" Nicki said running up the stairs. Safaree grabbed Alli's diaper bag, and walked into the foyer. He grabbed his keys out of the bowl, and out the house he had business.
Nicki walked into her room, and ran to her closet. She grabbed her Fendi heels and sat down on her bed. She slipped them on while looking at herself in the mirror. She got up, and ran over to get her purse, and phone off her dresser. Just as Nicki picked up her purse she noticed this envelope. She picked it up, and shook it. Nicki was just about to open it, when Safaree beeped the horn. She shook her head, and reached to open it again but Safaree beeped again holding the horn.
"Oh My God! Im coming you big cock.... Wait you have a..... COMING!" Nicki yelled grabbing her phone. She turned around, and threw the elvelope on top of the suitcases she had packed for Memphis. Just like that Nicki was running down the stairs to Safaree's car.

"What got into you last night Onika?"
"What are you talking about? Turn down this street." Nicki stated point to the right.
"You cussed me out, and said I was broke. Like, what was your point behind doing that?" Safaree asked making a right.
"I dont remember cussing you out."
"Nicki, Yes you do. Dont play."
"No I dont. Make a left here." Nicki responded.
"Why are you lying to me?" Safaree asked making a left. He drove down the street and stopped at the stop light.
"I am not lying. I dont remember going off on you. The last thing I remember is walking in the room, you walking over to me, and rubbing my arms."
"Onika! Stop lying." Nicki grabbed Safaree's face so he was looking at her.
"I am not lying to you. I have never, and I repeat NEVER lied to you." When Safaree looked at her in the eyes he could tell that she wasnt lying. She was actually telling the truth.
"So if it wasnt you that cussed me out. Who is it?"
"I'll be damn if I know. Maybe you was dreaming." Nicki said pecking his lips. "Make a right."
Safaree looked at her curiously, and made the right turn. Nicki caught his stare.
"What? Im not supposed to kiss you."
"I didnt say a word."
"Okay. Sooooo...." Nicki turned his face to look out the wind shield. "Focus on the road." Safaree, started laughing, and then Nicki giggled behind him.

Doctor's Office (Allianna's Appointment)

"Okay... Mr. & Mrs. Samuels..." Dr. Swevenport started as he walked in the room but Nicki cut him off.
"Maraj.... Ms.Maraj." Safaree side eyed her as she said that.
"My mistake, Ms. Maraj & Mr. Samuels.... We had to give Allianna some blood from the blood bank in the hospital."
"For what!?!" Nicki yelled.
"Calm down, We had did some blood work on her. When we removed the needle, she didnt stop bleeding. Which lead to her losing alot of blood...." Dr. Swevenport stopped for a pause.
"Mhmm. Continue." Safaree said standing up.
"I was going to come and see if one of you could give blood, but that would have caused me to make double trips. So I went over you two's blood type before I came up here."
"You beating around the bush. Tell us whats up doc."
"There is no way possible that you Mr. Samuels can be Allianna's father." Dr. Swevenport stated. "I think Im going to be sick!" Nicki said running out of the room holding her stomach, and her mouth. Safaree features harden, as he watched her.
"What the fuck do you mean?" Safaree asked.
"You are blood type A-Negative. Ms. Maraj is blood type A. Its almost impossible for you two to have a child with blood type B."
"What do you mean almost impossible?"
"Meaning its a 97% chance that you arent Allianna's birth father. But then again you can be apart of that slim to none."
"So what do you suggest?"
"Get a DNA test. Then you will know for sure." Safaree started rubbing his hands together. He sat down in the chair, and put his face in his hands. He was mad, and hurt. He couldnt believe what he was just told. Safaree felt that every time he tried to make him, and Nicki work something would pop up, and ruin the happiness. Usually it would be something small but this was a blow to his gut. When Nicki walked back in the room, Dr. Swevenport felt the tension fall in the room.
"Im going to get Alli from the nurse, I'll bring her discharge papers." He walked out of the room before anything was said to him. Nicki walked over to her purse, and pulled out her phone. She started playing with it to avoid looking at Safaree.
"Why Onika? How could you?"
"I need you to take me to the airport from here. Manny went by my house to get my bags." Nicki said nonchalant.
"Man, Whatever!" Safaree said getting up. "I'll be in the car." He walked out of the room, the same time Dr. Swevenport was walking back in with Allianna. She was crying, and had her hand on her arm. Nicki walked up to the doctor, and grabbed Alli slowly.
"She might be a little sore from the shots, and the blood drawing we did. Here is a something that you can get at your local pharmacy. Its a numbing cream. Rub it on the sore spots with a cue tip. Dont use too much. Other than that everything else was good. Now, when it comes to that siezure she had I want you to keep her as calm as possible. Keep the stress to a minimum with her, and thats all. She is discharge, and yall may leave." Dr. Swevenport concluded handing Nicki the papers.
"Okay, Thank you doctor."
"You are very welcome Ms. Maraj.... See you next month Alli." He said reaching to touch Allianna's cheeks but she pushed his hand, and turned her head. He smiled, and walked out the room. Nicki walked over to the chair, and sat down. She pulled the car seat off the bed, and sat it on the floor in front of her. She pulled Alli from her shoulder, and sat her in the seat. Nicki pulled the side straps over Alli's arms, and buckled them. She grabbed her purse, and her phone. Nicki stood up and picked up the car seat.  She slowly walked out the door into the hallway. She didnt know what to expect when she got in the car with Safaree, and that put her on edge.

Memphis, TN {Fourty- Five Minutes Before The Show}

Nicki was sitting in her dressing room in silence. She was praying, and thinking about alot. She thought back to everything that happened yesterday. She remembered the drive to the airport being so awkward, and quiet. Safaree looked so blank in the face, it was somewhat like his mind was completely empty. She had never seen that look on his face but one time. That was back when they was fifteen, and she asked him about his dad. He told her about how his dad walked out on his mom, his sisters, and him after his little sister was born. Although he had that blank look on his face, she could still see the hurt and pain in his eyes. When she looked at him she saw hurt but she also saw anger.
"Are you okay?" She remember herself asking.
"If you dont mind.... I dont want to talk about it." Safaree stated as a response. Nicki remembered looking at him after he said that, and feeling guilty. She didnt mean to hurt him or cause him this pain. She fully believe that Safaree was Allianna's father.
"Allianna...." Nicki said. She thought about what happened in the airport. She remembered Manny saying the jet was there, and everyone hugging Alli, and walking off. She went, and took Alli from Safaree. Nicki hugged, kissed, and held Alli until she really needed to leave. When she tried to pass Alli back to Safaree she wrapped her little arms tighter around Nicki's neck. She also tried to wrap her legs around Nicki, and began crying. Nicki looked at Safaree, and he walked up pulling Alli from her. She got her bag, while Alli was screaming and kicking trying to get to her. Nicki felt herself tearing up, and she turned her back walking to the gate to board the jet.
"We are going to do the black kinky poofy wig, with the NY pink and black fitted. Right Nic?" Terrence asked breaking Nicki from her trance.
"Right. Im going for a girl biker look tonight mixed with my hood look."
"Oh really?" Terrence asked putting the wig on Nic's head.
"Yes!! Im wearing my tight black jeans, and a dark pink shirt that cuffs my body. Also my black leather jacket with the dark pink designs on the back and Im going to wear my old 'Beez In The Trap' chain one of my barbz in New York gave me, my Roman chain, and my 'Svengali' chain, and my bambo earrings."
"Oh so you are going to freeze this arena up?" Joyce said walking into the dressing room laughing. She handed Nicki he lr clothes bag.
"Hell Yeah!" Nicki said slapping high fives with her.
"Mhmm. Safaree taught her!" Terrence said laughing while Nic and Joyce dead faced him "What? You know he did. Anywho, Your wig is on, and glossy."
"Okay, Guys go out, and let me get dressed. Joyce tell Marco to come guard the door."
"Okay. I'll tell him." Joyce said stopping before she walked out. Terrence went around her. Just as she was about to walk out again she stopped.
"Nic, Manny said to tell you when we leave here in the morning we have to go to New Orleans. Wayne wants you to preform with him."
"Okay!!" Nicki said clapping her hands. "I cant wait to see them! I miss my YMCMB fam."
"Im glad we going to New...."
"Let her get dressed she has to make it to the stage." Manny said cutting Joyce off. He pulled her out the door, and shut it. Nicki laughed at them, and went to get dressed.

"OMG! We have been in search of Nic's dressing room for a hour, and a half. Latrice, You sure you heard the announcement on the radio right?"
"Yes Monay. I heard them say, and I quote 'The Queen of Hip Hop' will be gracing us with her presense with The Throne at the Fedex Forum. This is the biggest show since Slick Rick, and Dougie Fresh in the 80's."
"Well it doesnt look like she is here." Mari said shaking her head.
"Come on guys. Have some faith.... I think Nicki is here." Latrice said in defense.
"Im with Latrice. Mari, you came down here from Detroit. I came up here from Birmingham. Monay... dont you stay here? Either way, We all worked hard to come see her tonight and we will. Lets turn this corner." Arie said walking in front of them. Monay, and Mari shook their head standing in one spot. Latrice looked at them, and pushed them until they caught up with Arie.
"Yooooo.... Yall see that man that standing in front of that door down that hallway. I thinks thats HB."
"You thinks Arie?"
"Yes Latrice, I thinks."
"Thinks aint a word hoe." Latrice said back.
"It is in my vocabulary."
"Well my foot is going to be up in yall vocabulary if yall dont start bussing a move." Mari said interjecting. Arie, and Latrice raised a eyebrow, and stared at her. She slapped them back in the head, and walked passed them.
"Raise a eyebrow at that." Latrice ran up behind her,and kicked her in the back of her knee. Arie watched them go back and forth as she laughed. Latrice, and Mari began laughing and walking toward the man. Arie ran to catch up with them, while Monay was standing in the same spot.
"Where is Monay?" Latrice asked turning her head fast.
"I dont know but if you continue that Ima ask Nic for her pope number." Mari said laughing.
"She all the way back there." Arie said pointing.
"Im about sick of this shy ass girl." Mari said storming off toward Monay. She grabbed her arm, and yanked Monay all the way down the hall.
"That's my bestie!!!" Latrice said cracking up. Arie was standing there shocked. When they caught up with Latrice, and Arie they all continued toward what supposedly Nicki's dressing room.

Just as Nicki laced up her black boots with the glow in the dark pink bottom she heard loud yelling. She walked over to the door, and listened.
"Look here you big rat! We asked you was Nicki in this room. Now tell us you fat Steve Harvey look alike." Nicki laughed at that remark. She always wanted to tell Marco to cut high top fade, and the fact that his lips looked like to black inflated ballons didn't make it no better.
"OMG!!! You dont hear well do you? Okay, Let me make this clear. If you dont tell me that Nic is in here Im going to gut you like the big ass bass you look like!" Nicki eyes blasted when she heard that comment, and she opened the door quickly.
"BARBZ! Simmer please." Arie froze up, Latrice was still laughing, Mari was looking side to side, and Monay stood behind everyone. Nicki looked at Marco standing in front of her. She reached up, and tapped his shoulder.
"Marco, You may go back up where the stage is."
"Are you sure Nicki?"
"Yes she is sure. We are not gonna hurt her." Mari said looking at the guy. "Now hit squares." Marco looked back at Nicki.
"You heard her." Nicki said as he walked off. She then walked out of her dressing room doorway, and looked at the girls. She stared at Mari, and Latrice.
"I know you too!" She said. Mari looked at Latrice and winked.
"How HB?" Mari asked.
"You two came to my 'surprise' birthday party."
"Well then you do remember us." Latrice stated smiling.
"Dont be so sure bestie. Whats our names?"
"You are my Detroit Playa Sylmaria..." Nicki said pinching Mari's cheeks. "And you are my Alaskan Huny Bear Latrice." Nicki said pulling Trice's ear. She then turned, and looked at Arie, and Monay.
"I've seen you two before with...... You!" Nicki said pointing back to Latrice.
"Yes. You met us on your PF tour stop in Birmingham." Arie said.
"Did I give yall nicknames?"
"N...N... No." Monay managed to get out.
"OOP! Lemme think of two good ones. Whats your names?" Nicki said tapping her chin.
"Look at her yall. Acting like its hard." Nicki looked at Mari and chuckled.
"Pauz Barb!.... Now whats yall names again?"
"Im Arie, and she is Monay."
"Okay.... Hmmm.... Arie Ducati & MoNoRo."
"Who is she supposed to be Nic? Malika Monroe, Marilyn's black sister?"  Latrice asked. Mari started screaming laughing.
"That was a good one bestie!" She said. They hit each other hands.
"Stadium you two." Nicki said looking at them with a smirk.
"NICKI!!! Time For You To Hit The Stage!!!!" Manny yelled down the hall.
"Okay!" Nicki said taking off toward the stage but she came to a abrupt stop. She turned around, and ran back to the girls.
"How about you guys stand backstage? Then when I get done we go back to my hotel room, and have some real fun. Would yall like to do that?" Monay stepped forward.
"HB, I think I can speak for all of us when I say....... HELL YEAH!!!!" Nicki laughed, and grabbed her hand as well as Latrice's. Monay grabbed Arie, Latrice grabbed Mari and they took off running toward the stage with Nicki.

The Marriot {11:28pm}
"How did the pajamas fit girls?" Nicki asked coming out of the master bedroom in the suite.
"Great! Theh showing off my curves." Mari said twerking in the middle of the floor.
"Woah...... & They fit great." Monay said sitting down on the couch.
"Arie Ducati , Did you get the kinect set up?"
"Almost done." Arie said pulling cords into the tv. Nicki looked around for a quick second.
"Where is Huny Bear?" She asked.
"She in the bathroom on the phone with her boo. They was arguing from what I heard." Monay said eating some Sour Patch Kids, and Cheetos.
"Mhm. She sure is!" Mari said co-signing Monay eating a Reese Cup. Nicki grabbed a few M&M's. "Nun uh. No boo's tonight." Nicki said as there was a knock at the door. She ate the candy quickly.
"That has to be the pizza. Monay get the $100 dollar bill off the table, and give it to him.  Whatever is the change give it as a tip. Im going to get Ms. Boo'd Up." Nicki said walking over to the bathroom on the other side of the suite. When she made it to the door she heard faint sobs.
"Trice......Trice..... Tri." Nicki said knocking.
"Its open." Latrice yelled then went back to crying. Nicki opened the door to see her sitting on the counter with her phone next to her.
"Aww Barb, Whatever the problem is it will be okay. Just come enjoy us." Nicki said walking closer to her. Latrice reached on the side her her, and picked up the can of green silly string, and sprayed Nicki with the whole can. She busted out laughing.
"I got her yall!!" She yelled as Mari, Monay, and Arie ran to see. They all looked at Nicki cracking up. She pulled the silly string off her face, and out of her hair. The girls had talked her into taking off her wig. Nicki walked pass Latrice to the other side of the sink, and pulled out this big water gun.
"Yoooo! Thats the Water Maralic Stacker Dexter Blaster 6000!" Arie yelled. Latrice, Monay, and Mari looked at her with eyebrows raised, and blasted eyes.
"I knew something was weird about you." Monay said to Arie just before Nicki sprayed her in the hair. Nicki then got Latrice in the face, and got Arie all over. Nicki couldnt get Mari cause she was using Arie for a sheild. Mari then ran, and Nicki chased her but Mari had Monay as a sheild then. They all cracked up, at Nicki jumping over couches, and tables trying to get Mari.
After it was all said, and done all the girls except Nicki, and Mari was changing. Nicki looked at Mari doing the choreo for Smooth Criminal, and was cracking. She then got up, and did it with her.
"Get it HB! Ayyyee!" Mari said as she watched Nicki. Nicki then did the lean, and Mari went crazy. "Owwwww!!!! Nic you killed it!" She yelled.
"You know how I do barb." Nicki said smiling, then grabbed her stomach, and her head.
"Whats wrong?..... Nic?" Mari said grabbing Nicki's arm. She slowly sat her down on the couch.
"Calm down Barb. Im okay. Just a little light headed." Nicki said lowly. "Get me some of those Utz chips." "When was the last time you ate?" Mari asked as she did what Nicki said.
"Last night." Nicki stated eating the chips.
"Last night!?! Oh Noooo! Where is our chinese food?"
"It should've been here. Call the number on the note pad and see what is taking them so long." Nicki said.
"Dont tell me you eat cat-dog Nicki." Latrice said coming out of the room with Monay following her.
"Whaaaa!?!" Nicki said looking at her.
"Foh! Shut up! Thats what she calls chinese food."
"Ahhhh!" Nicki said laughing. "Cat...... Dog!" She said before she fell out across the couch. Another knock came to the door.
"I'll get it." Monay said getting up from the love seat biting her slice of pizza. Nicki sat up, and looked at Latrice while laughing.
"Wow barb." She said. "MoNoRo, Get the other $100 and do the same thing you did with the pizza man."
"Okay." She said opening the door. She took the food, and handed the man the money. "What is left over is your tip."
"Thanks son." The man said.
"Wait!!!!" Mari screamed. "A nigga trapped in a chinese man body. I CAY-NT!"
"AintNobodyGotTimeForThat!" Latrice said fast as she did the kick in the Billie Jean choreo. Monay busted out laughing.
"Goodnight sir." She said before shutting the door.

"Arie! Why didnt you cut that!?" Mari yelled.
"I cant cut my HB." Arie said in her defense.
"Well, she cut you. & if they make this blind ten guess what!"
"What?"
"They WIN!" Mari said getting up. "I quit. Nicki isnt gonna beat me."
"Sorry to tell you playa but me, and Huny Bear beat yall. We made our blind ten. MoNoRo whats the score?"
"Nicki & Trice 564. Mari & Arie 468."
"Awww, Dont be a sore loser bestie." Trice said as she was getting up but Mari pushed the top of her head causing her to fall back down. Nicki stood up from the coffee table.
"OOP, Nicki you getting thick in them thighs." Arie said looking at her.
"Safaree hitting it from the back." Monay said lowly before sipping her pepsi.
"What!?!" Nicki yelled.
"Nic.... Dont lie. SB hitting that? He dropping it in your tank?" Mari asked.
"Woah.... Time for bed barbz."
"Nooooooo!" All of the girls said in unison.
"Nope. Nun Uh. Time for bed." Nicki said walking toward the other rooms.
"Oooookay." The girls said in unison again, walking over to where Nicki was.
"Okay Barbz, I didnt quite plan this. So there is only on bed in each room. But they are king sized." Nicki stated.
"So Mari and Monay go in this room." Nicki said pointing to her right. "Arie, and Latrice in this room" She said pointing to the room on the left. Mari automatically started laughing out loud. Latrice looked at her, and dead faced her.
"You stupid dawg. You irritating." Latrice said walking into the room.
"Goodnight Arie." Mari said laughing walking into the room. Monay walked in their room, while Arie walked in thr room where Latrice went.
Nicki laughed at all of them, and went to straighten up the room. She threw away all the cans, wrappers, and bags. She heard her phone beep indicating that the battery was low. After she finished cleaning up, she ran to her room, and put her phone on charger. She then decided to send out a text.

Baby Momma: I know you are angry, and hurt by what the doctor said yesterday. We can have a talk as soon as I get back to New York. I would be back tmrw but Wayne wants me to preform with him tmrw night so I am going to New Orleans. If Allianna becomes too much for you right now take her to Tyesha. I love you. Kiss Alli for me, and tell her I love her too. Goodnight.

After Nicki sent that text, she got up, and went to check on the girls one more time before she retired for some rest. When she made it back to the other side of the suite, she walked into Mari & MoNoRo's room first. She looked at them laying on their sides of the bed. She walked over, and pulled the cover up on both of them. She kissed each of them on the forhead before turning off the lamp, and walking out the door. She left it open though.
Nicki then walked over to Arie & Latrice's room. She walked in to only see Trice sitting up sleep, and Arie sprawled out. Nicki smirked because she remembered many nights when Safaree would sleep wild, and she would sleep sitting up so she didnt get hit in the head. Some nights she would fight him back, when he was sleep and she was awake. Then when he would wake up, she would pretend to be sleep. Nicki laughed, and walked to Arie's side of the bed. She pulled the cover up on her, and rubbed her hand. She then walked to Trice's side. Just as she was about to flick off the lamp Latrice opened her eyes.
"I can tell something is bothering you HB but just do what you tell us to do, and pray." Nicki looked at her, and smiled.
"I will Huny Bear." She said before turning the lamp off. She kissed Trice on the forehead too before walking toward the door.
"Oh, and Nic?"
"Yes?"
"I know you be riding that mandingo from the back." Latrice said smirking.
"Onikafaree...." Nicki whispered as she looked at her, and winked. Nicki watched Trice smile, and get comfortable in the bed. She turned back around, and walked out. Nicki stood outside of both bedrooms looking at them sleep.
"My babies." Was the last thing she said before she retired to her side of the suite to get some much awaited rest.

The Next Morning {6:00am}
Nicki had been up for one hour now. She had gotten a shower, got dressed, and had ate breakfast. She was sitting waiting for Manny to come get her, and let her know that the cars was there. She was writing a letter to the Latrice. Just as she finished it up, Manny had knocked on the door, then walked in fast.
"Yo! Yo! Yo! Time to hit the N.O."
"SHHHHHHH!!!!!! The barbz are still resting." Nicki whispered while waving her hand.
"You didnt wake them up?"
"No. Let them rest. They was up late last night."
"Nicki.... Im checking out the room once we leave."
"No. Pay it up for another 3 days. Let them enjoy this room. Plus, I have a stylist bringing me some clothes to New Orleans. Im going to leave my whole suitcase that I packed. Let them pick out what they want, or can fit, or can have for memories."
"Are you sure?"
"Do I look like Im joking?"
"But Nic...."
"What did I say Manny?"
"Okay Boss lady."
"Okay. Get my purse, and stand outside the door." Manny did what Nicki told him. She had room service bring up some breakfast for the barbz. She walked over to the t.v. and turned it off. She went, and peeped in the rooms.
"Still sleeping soundly." Nicki grabbed the pink paper she wrote the letter on, and sat it on the nightstand by Latrice's bed. And just like that she was gone like a theif in the night.

Truth & The Beating (Interlude)

Four Days Ago- Five O'clock in the Afternoon
Lauren sat on the hospital bed not hearing anything that the doctor was saying to her. All she could think about was what she was going to do. Her mind raced to Vincent, and what bitch he was probably up in right now. Lauren began to cry hard as Dr. Massy put his hand on her shoulder. When he saw that Lauren was breaking down more he pulled her into a tight comforting hug. Lauren let him hold her for a while but then she pulled away.
"Im sorry....... Im sorry that I had to be the one to tell you about this."
"No Dr. Massy..... Im sorry." Lauren felt humiliated right now. She felt disgusted about herself. She felt stupid about her decisions. She felt like she let herself down.
"Sit down Ms. Lovelace. Im going to go write up your prescriptions, and draw up your discharge papers. I'll be back in about ten minutes." Lauren was looking down at the ground when she nodded her head. She bite her lip and blinked her eyes trying to stop the tears. She rubbed her throat, and swallowed repeatedly trying to hold back the sobs forming. There was only one person she could think of right now. She knew she wasnt going to get Nicki so she dialed up Candi's number. Lauren could always count on Candi to be there for her. She had known Candi since they was in ninth grade, and Candi hasnt failed her since then. She thought of a way while the phone was ringing to tell Candi about what she just discovered. "HELL-OOOOOOOO" Candi said beaming through the phone. Lauren jumped.
"That sorry ass motherfucker!!!!!" Lauren yelled.
"Ren..... Whats wrong?" Candi asked listening to Lauren's under breath cussing.
"Fuck his black ass! I dont care about him!!!!!" Lauren yelled again.
"Ren!!!" Candi yelled into the phone.
"I take his ass back after all that shit and he does me like this.... ME!?! Like the one who washed his stanking ass clothes, cooked his damn meals, bent over backwards to make sure he was good.... Pauz but still. Ugh, Fuck you Vincent Anthony Smith!!!"
"LAUREN!!!!!!" Candi screamed louder this time snapping out of her trance.
"Huh?" Lauren said responding.
"I can tell this is going to cause for one our night sleepovers. Im going to drop Isaiah off with my mom then Im going to come over to your house. I should be there around eight. I'll bring some takeout."
"Okay..... I'll take De'Andre to my sister's." Lauren said wiping her tears.
"Okay, See you in a few. And no crying sister. Its going to be okay." Lauren chuckled as she hung up the phone. Dr. Massy walked back into the room and heard Lauren's soft chuckle.
"Awww, There is that smile." He said smiling at her. Lauren looked at him closely. He had the most toned physic she had ever seen. Broad shoulders, and muscles that could be seen well even through his white coat. He had a perfect smile with pearly white teeth. He had a skin tone of rich milk chocolate. His eyes was a light grey color that had a hint of green. His hair was in cornrows, that was braided close. They hung right at the middle of his back. His low cut goatee really brought out his nice full lips. Lauren never realized how sexy he was until now.
"Yeah, My friend just told me a joke."
"Oh really? What was it?" Lauren got quiet, and looked away trying to think of a good joke but couldnt. She could never have a good back up lie.
"Well, Dr. Massy..." Lauren started off but was cut off by him.
"Please call me Alec." He said. Lauren was taken back. This wasnt supoosed to go like this.
"Well Alec..... Its kind of a personal joke."
"Oh, I completely understand." Alec said writing on this piece of paper. "Well, you are all set. Just sign where the 'X' is and you can leave." Alec said handing Lauren his clipboard. Lauren signed her name, and handed it back to Alec while looking down. Just before he handed her the prescriptions he lifted her chin with index finger. Lauren froze up while looking in his eyes. They was so dreamy to her. Alec dropped the prescriptions on the floor and pulled Lauren to him. He crashed his lips against her's, holding her tight. His six feet tall build made Lauren have to stand on her tip toes. Alec pushed Lauren back against the wall as their tongues tussled back and forth. Before he knew it Lauren pushed him away, and grabbed her bag. Just like that she was out of the door. Lauren ran down to the play area, and picked De'Andre up. She grabbed his bag, and left out of the doctor's office crying hard.
Three Hours Later
"Wait...... Let me get this shit straight. You have three STD's and Vincent gave them to you?" Candi asked sipping her Sangria wine.
"Yes and Im pissed at his ass. Like the other night he was telling me 'Aww baby, I love you. I want to be with you. I want you, me and Dre to be a family.' FUCK THAT SHIT!!!! Im going to light into his ass when I see him." Candi laughed at Lauren, and lifted the bottle of wine again. She realized that they had drunk it all.
"Damn.... We are out wine. Let me run up to the store and get some more." Candi said getting up from the couch.
"Okay. Let me go get my shoes." Candi looked at Lauren.
"Naw.... You go in the store, and think you have to go grocery shopping. Stay here and fix your t.v. I'll be back in about 10 minutes" Candi said running out of the house. Lauren shook her head at she walked up to her t.v.
Lauren had been working on her television now for about 20 minutes, when she heard the door come open.
"Candi, Its been damn near half a hour. What happened?" Lauren said hooking the cable.
"Nothing fucking happened, I just came here to see you and....." Lauren jumped up and looked at Vincent.
"Just the motherfucker I wanted to see." She said cutting him off. She watched as he stumbled toward the couch, holding a Vodka bottle. She didnt really care that he was drunk, she was going to deal with him now.
"Who is the hoe that gave your ass these three STD's that you gave me!?" Lauren yelled walking up on him. Vincent pushed her back.
"Dont come at me with no fucking bullshit Lauren." Vincent said with his words sluring.
"Answer my damn question." Lauren yelled smacking him. Vincent turned his face, so he wasnt looking at her.
"I have a problem."
"I think its your damn brain."
"Lauren, Im forreal. This might break me and Safaree's friendship for good this time."
"Wait..... Safaree? What does he have to do with this?" Lauren said looking at Vincent weird.
"I dont want to talk about it." He said sitting down.
"Yes the FUCK you will. Now tell me." Lauren yelled. "You are such a fucking dog. I was stupid as hell to mess with your black ass." When Lauren said that Vincent jumped up, and smacked her hard causing her to fall to the floor.
"See thats why I slept with her...... Thats why I fucked her!!!!! You wont never shut your fucking mouth." Vincent grabbed Laren by the back of her head, gripping her hair. He then pushed her face first into the coffee table. He watched her lay on the floor holding her face. Blood was oozing from her forehead, and her lip was cut by the glass.
"Thats right I fucked Naomi and I actually enjoyed it. Your pussy wasnt enough bitch! You the cause for every bad thing that happen! Yeah I had STD's and fucked you raw....Hell I did it to her too!! The only reason Im worried now is because of Safaree. He might have the shit!" He walked up to Lauren and grabbed her by her throat. He balled up his fist, and punched her in the eye. Vincent then gargled, and spit in Lauren's face. He then let her fall over, and when she did he picked his foot up. He looked at her laying there, and kicked her in the stomach.
"Ren.... I had to go to six stores to find our wine." Candi said walking through the door. She looked up to see Vincent standing over Lauren. She saw that blood was on the floor, and the living room was messed up.
"LAUREN!!!!" She screamed dropping the bag. Vincent saw her coming, and kicked his foot out causing Candi to fall, and bump her head. Vincent saw both of them laying there, and he just grabbed his vodka bottle, and ran out of the apartment. He didnt know what he had done. Low, and behold he didnt know that someone was watching him the whole time.... Plotting the biggest revenge.

This is a little interlude to prepare you guys for whats to come. Strap on for the ride.... Because your emotions are about to be fucked with. Much Love.- Nae

The Introduction

"Sometimes you get visits from your past....... But dont let them visits turn into permanet housing. If you do, big mistakes are bound to happen." - S. Samuels

"Follow his ass NeNe! You didnt drag me out the house at two in the morning to fucking sit in front of his apartment, and...."
"Shut the hell up Quisha! Damn bitch. Chill, How Ima follow him if he hasnt backed out his driveway yet?" Naomi said watching Safaree closely.
"Yo ass better buy me a wine cooler, and some weed for this shit." Marquisha said patting her weave, and popping her piece of gum. Naomi saw Safaree back out, and drive off down the street.
"I got you. Now sit your stanking ass back." Naomi pulled out from her park, and made a sharp u-turn. She got behind Safaree, and turned her lights down so he didnt think it was someone tailing him........
Fourty Minutes Later
"Is his ass driving to some bitch house in the burbs. We been rolling for what? A hour now. He must love her pussy." Naomi reached into her glove department, and pulled out her switch blade. She put her car on cruise control, reached over, and grabbed Marquisha by her neck. Naomi put the blade on her skin.
"Dont say no shit like that in my damn car about him. He isnt going to see no other bitch." Marquisha's eyes became the size of golf balls.
"Okay NeNe!!!!!!!! Put that blade down bitch." Naomi smirked at her, and snipped her neck. Marquisha's blood ran on her hand. She moved it, and mushed Quisha in the face smearing her blood on her.
"YOU STUPID BROAD!!!!!" Quisha yelled grabbing some Wendy's napkins Naomi had in her car. She stacked them the best way she could, and put them on the gash.
"Thats what you get. Dont talk about him like that." Naomi said putting her interest back on Safaree. She saw him turn down a long road. She slowed her car down, and waited a few seconds before she turned down the same street. She saw Safaree park infront of this big house sitting on a hill. Naomi stopped her car again, and turned her headlights off. She pulled the keys out of ignition, watched Safaree get out of his car, and walk up to the front door.
"Let's Go." Naomi said opening her door, and getting out of the car. Marquisha looked at her like a fool.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"To see who my baby is seeing. Let's go." Naomi answered.
"Bitch did you take yo meds today? Cause we cant just walk up in that house." Naomi shut the car door on Quisha while she was talking. She walked around to the passager side, and opened the door. She pulled Marquisha out by her ponytail.
"OKAY!!!!! OOOOOKAY!!!! I'll go. Let my weave go. You know Remy aint cheap shit." Quisha said yelling. She shut the door, and followed Naomi across the street. Naomi walked up to the mailbox, opened it, and pulled out the little name card.
"Bingo! Maraj." She said lowly.
"Maraj........ That name is fimiliar to me but I dont know who has it. Anywho, now you know he is seeing someone lets go." Marquisha said turning around to walk back to the car but was grabbed by her shoulder by Naomi.
"We are going in."
"You crazier than Tarzan on a vine if you think Im going in there."
"I am...... and you are." Naomi said pulling her. She walked up to the front door, and reached in the flower pot. Safaree had told her about him, and Nicki always putting a extra key in the little flower pot outside on the porch. Naomi felt around until she felt the key. She pulled it out, and put it in the key hole. She opened the door slowly. She tip toed in and looked back at Marquisha. They had a stare down for a few minutes.
"I cant believe you have me doing this cunt shit." She said as she walked through the door.
"Believe it." Naomi whispered shutting the door to Nicki's house. Inside they were.

Down The Street
"We are about to raid Nic's kitchen dude." Candi said dancing in the driver seat of her car.
"Hell Yeah! Im hungry as a hell." Lauren stated laughing at Candi.
"After that little bowling we did earlier, and the club hopping we did. Im about to starve too."
"Im hella sad we came all the way to Nicki's instead of going to our houses and eat." Lauren said lurking on Twitter.
"Nigga, I aint been to the store and neither have you. So hell yeah..... Nic's it is." Candi laughed as she turned on Nicki's street. She drove down, and pulled into the driveway. Her and Lauren got out, and walked up to the front door. Candi reached in the flower pot for the key but couldnt find it. Lauren reached above the door, and pulled a string. It let a key fall, and Lauren caught it. She put it in the key hole, unlocked the door. Her, and Candi walked in the house, and heard over the top banging. Candi started chuckling when she heard the loud moans, and groans. Lauren jumped when she saw something move in the living room beside the couch.
"YOOOO WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?!?" She said hitting Candi in the arm while pushing her. Candi stumbled back.
"Wait Nigga!!! You about to knock my small ass out. What is it!?" Lauren grabbed Candi's head, and pulled it so her ear was to her mouth.
"Either Nicki has a dog with a weave or its another chick up in here." Candi pushed Lauren off of her, and walked over toward the couch. She saw a female in some dingy white shorts, and dark red tank.
"Who are you?!" Candi screamed. Marquisha jumped up from the floor.
"Okay Quisha...... Im about to go upstairs now......." Naomi said coming out of the kitchen. Her voice trailed off when she saw Candi, and Lauren. Marquisha walked over to Naomi.
"You didnt tell me I would be dealing with these two ratchet looking bitches." She said looking at Candi, and Lauren as she scrunched up her face.
"Ratchet looking bitches....... Hoe you the one looking like you have the American Flag on your head." Lauren said.
"Lauren dont lie to her. That shit look like the crack of someone's fat ass." Candi said with a straight face.
"Like I said..... NeNe you didnt tell me this." Marquisha stated walking toward Candi, and Lauren. "Plus you never told me that Humpty Dumpty, and one of the seven drawfs was best friends either."
"I got your drawf right here." Candi said picking up one of the lit candles. Just before she threw it Lauren grabbed her hand, and took it away. Loud moans, and bumping was heard louder from upstairs.
"Nicki is riding him good I bet." As soon as Candi said that Naomi charged her. She jumped on top of her, causing Candi to fall back. Had she fell a little more to the left her hair would've caught fire. Naomi was tussling trying to get her hands around Candi's neck, but she kept failing. Candi raised her fist to punch Naomi in the face but Lauren had pulled Naomi up. Candi stood up fast, and punched Naomi in the face. She punched her again, and smacked her. Naomi fell to her knees. Lauren looked at the sight before her. She knew what Candi was about to do. That infamous move that her, Nicki, Tyesha, Iesha, and Thembi started doing in their fights. Lauren felt bad for Naomi's face at this point. Candi grabbed her hair, and turned her face to the side. She then balled up her fist, and pounded Naomi's left cheek, and eye repeatedly. Candi smiled while she was punching her, then let her fall over on all fours. Candi then looked over at Lauren, and winked. Lauren knew what that meant, and was intent on watching but thats when Marquisha ran up the stairs. Lauren took off behind her but stopped. Candi lifted her foot up like she was going to kick Naomi in her face but Naomi flinched. Candi grabbed her hair again, and pulled her head up so she was looking at her in the eyes.
"Dont flinch bitch!!" With that said Candi held Naomi's head still, and instead of kicking her she slid her leg forward. She then bended her knee fast, and hit Naomi right under the chin. Lauren chuckled as she watched. Naomi flew back, and slid on the floor. As her head hit the wall, Lauren took off behind Marquisha. Candi walked slowly over to the stair, and looked at Naomi passed out old.
"Crusty Hoes. I aint never liked your ass." Candi smirked, and ran up the stairs after Lauren, and Marquisha.
Lauren had caught up with Quisha just before she busted into Nicki's room. Candi was fed up with both of these chicks. She didnt like neither one. She ran up from behind Lauren, and clocked Marquisha in the face. Quisha had the door crack, so when Candi hit her she fell through.
"Nicki!!!!!" Candi yelled as she saw Safaree fall to the left side of the bed, and grab a sheet to cover up his lower region. She saw Nicki jump up to stand but fall to her knees. Marquisha was lying on the floor holding her face. Lauren was standing against the wall in the hallway breathing heavy. She didnt know where that fist came from, and it scared the hell out of her. Candi had this big smile on her face when Lauren walked in the room. Nicki slowly stood up from the floor, and looked at Candi.
"Why the hell do you have that stupid ass grin on your face?" She said tightening the sheet around her.
"I knew Safaree was still getting all up in that." Candi stated laughing, and clapping. Nicki looked down at her floor, and looked at Marquisha.
"Who is this hoe yall brought in my house?"
"We dont know her. She came here with the bitch Naomi..... Who is downstairs seeing stars." Lauren said looking at Marquisha. Safaree had manage to get up, slip back on his boxers, and one of the big shirts that Nicki had in her night stand drawer. He walked over to where everyone was looking at the floor. He looked down and automatically knew who it was.
"That's Marquisha. Her and Naomi go way back. She tried to fuck me before." Nicki eyed Safaree and then bent down. She balled up her fist, and punched Quisha in the face.
"Nic!" Lauren screamed.
"What!?! You said that Naomi was seeing stars..... So I made her bestie see them too." Nicki said giving a innocent facial expression. While turning around walking to her dresser to slip on a jersey.
"Everyone wants that little thang Safaree got." Nicki turned around and looked at Candi when she said that statement.
"Trust honey...... Aint a damn thing little about that." Lauren and Candi busted out laughing. Safaree took that as his que.
"Ima go to the guest room, and take a shower." He said walking around Candi, and Lauren out the door.
"Um.... Ima need yall to get her up, and out of my house. As well as that hoe downstairs."
"I got Naomi. Lauren you got this hoe." Candi yelled running out of the door, and downstairs.
"Okay." Lauren said grabbing Marquisha by the legs, and dragging her across the floor. Nicki pulled the jersey down, and slipped on some boy shorts. She walked behind Lauren, dragging Marquisha.
Fifteen Minutes Later
Lauren, and Candi had threw Marquisha and Naomi out of the house. Now their number one thing to do was grill Nicki about her and Safaree while he was taking a shower.
"So tell us the details Nic." Lauren said giving Nicki the side eye. Candi didnt want a whole dragged out story so she cut to the chase.
"Lauren you can get your story later..... All I wanna know is was the dick good, and how he came over here." Nicki stared at them, then leaned closer.
" Fuck being good..... It was great!..... And he got over here cause I texted him, and told him to come over."
"So does this mean yall are a couple or what?" Lauren asked.
"Or just cuddy buddies." Candi said interjecting. Lauren, and Nicki looked at her in silence. "Or not. Damn."
"We are working on us. I mean we are just testing the waters right now."
"Nic, testing the water means not with him."
"Just fucking on the regular....." Candi interjected.
"Oh my god! Why cant me and Safaree just do what we are doing? We good." Nicki said jumping up from the couch, offend at Candi remarks about her and Safaree.
"Well Nicki, this isnt healthy." Lauren said.
"Lauren do me a favor."
"Yes?" Lauren said answering Candi.
"Shut the hell up." Candi turned to Nicki and began talking. "You want to know why yall cant continue this? Because this shacking up, fucking, and shit is going to hurt yall in the end. You still have feelings for Safaree. You know it, I know it, Lauren know it..... Hell everyone knows it. And this screwing around is only gonna make them feelings grow stronger. You cant sleep with someone, and expect for your feelings not to get involved. On top of this you guys have a bond, as well as a little baby girl from this. So sorry to break it to you sis but um....... No! You cant continue with this bullshit."
"So Dr. Candace what do you suggest?"
"Dr. Candace...... I love it. Anywho, talk to him about where you guys are going. Whats next behind this."
" And what do I do if his plans are different than mine."
"Whoop his ass." Candi said laughing, and reaching to hug Nicki. They embraced for a few seconds before pulling apart. Candi rubbed Nicki's shoulders.
"I know you may think I come off harsh sometimes. But you wouldnt love me if I wasnt blunt, and to the point with you." Nicki smiled.
"Sooo true."
"I know. Yeah..... I know."
"I hate it when you are right." Nicki said with a little pouty face.
"Dont you all." Candi said. "Lauren let's go and give Nicki her time with her boo."
"Okay."
"Plus I gotta get home to see a re-run of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta." Candi said.
"Oh, Wait until you see what happens between Stevie and Mimi. Girl, you are gonna flip."
"Damn Nic..... You just gave it away. Let's go Candi." Lauren stated walking toward the door in front of Candi.
"Aww Shit..... We forgot to do what we came here for in the first place Lauren."
"HELL YEAH!!!" Lauren and Candi took off for Nicki's kitchen. They rambushed the cabinets. They snatched chips, cookies, cakes, and even Nicki's big candy bag. Candi even got so excited that she grabbed a whole case of 24 sodas.
"Lauren.....Ima crash at your house tonight."
"Fine with me." Nicki watched then walk out of her kitchen with all her snacks. She just stared at them.
"You know what........ Get out you rats!" Lauren and Candi laughed and walked out of the door. Nicki locked the door to her house, and armed the alarm. She turned off all of the light downstairs and began walking upstairs to have this long awaited talk with Safaree.
Nicki walked into her bedroom. To see Safaree laying on the bed. She just stared to say that she wanted to talk but she couldnt. She didnt want to talk about their situation right now. Nicki had a feeling that he was going to reject her. Nicki felt that it was time for her to freshen up after that amazing sex session she had with Safaree.
"Candi and Lauren are gone?" Safaree asked looking at Nicki. He saw this weird look on her face. He knew something was wrong with her.
"Yeah." She answered not looking at him. Safaree got up from his spot on the bed. Nicki had noticed that he changed the bed covers. That was a good idea considering how much they had let out.
"Whats wrong with you?" He asked grabbing her arms.
"Nothing." Nicki answered looking down at the ground.
"Yes it is. Talk to me Onika." He said softly. His tone felt like a silk sheet that wrapped around Nicki. It was calm, and intruging. Nicki slowly lifted her head and looked in his eyes.
"Where do we go from here Faree? I dont want us to be just fuck buddies. I dont want you just call me when you need your dick to be squeezed or milked......."
"WOAH!! Nic when did you started talking so vulgar?" Safaree said with blasted eyes. Nicki laughed a little.
"I guess I been hanging with Candi a little too much."
"I think so too. But to answer your question, I want us to prosper. I want to be with you, and Im not going stop until you are walking down the aisle about to become Mrs. Samuels." He noticed that Nicki tensed up on him but he ignored it. "And we can do photoshoots together, and spend time with Allianna as a family, and go to awards together. Hell we'll be hip hop royalty." Once Safaree said that Nicki went off or so Safaree thought.
"What the fuck do you mean WE will be hip hop royalty!?! You aint no damn rapper..... I am! You aint sold over 30 million records... I have! You dont get a invite to award shows..... I do! You are just a tag along. So shut the fuck up with that shit! Now dont no damn body want to marry your black broke ass. You dont got damn money! How can you support me and Alli!?! "
"Okay hold up Nic....... Im not fucking broke and you know that. What the fuck has gotten into you!?!" Safaree yelled back at Nicki.
"Something that wasnt your small dick."
"I would like to know when thirteen inches long, and four inches in grith become 'small'. And by your screaming, and these scratches in my back that are burning.... It wasnt small to you at all." Safaree said licking his lips.
"Fuck you! Get out of my house!!" Nicki yelled before walking into the bathroom slamming the door. Safaree stood there with this stupid lost look on his face. He didnt know what caused Nicki to lash out at him like that. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but by him being angry as well he chose to leave. Safaree never liked to argue with Nicki while he was mad. He put on his clothes that he showed up in, and walked downstairs. He walked over to the door, and put on his shoes. Safaree grabbed his keys off the table. He looked back at the stairs one last time before walking out the door.
"Take this fucking picture Nicki. Smile here. Smile there. Stand there. Stand here. We are grown, and I'll be damn if I have anyone tell me, and Nicki what to do any gotdamn more. Fuck that shit. We run this. This is our fucking empire. Nicki is too much of a damn punk to people when it comes to officially putting her foot down. Time for me to take over this bullshit. Here goes to me being out now." Nakia said stepping into the shower of steaming hot water. Tomorrow things was changing..... for the bad.

Chapter 24: Secrets Out In The Open (Part One) Excerpt
"He has had it since birth. Its been hard for me, and I need support from my girls now." Lauren said as tears stained her face. Her eyes was red, and puffy.
"We understand. But why didnt you tell us about this sooner?" Candi asked putting her hand on Lauren's shoulder.
"Yeah. Like you know we share everything together..... Why didnt you say something?" Nicki asked sipping her juice.
"I though Vincent would support me but when I found out what he did to me when I went to the hospital...... fuck him."
"Naw that shit was fucked up. I would've sliced his dick off and made him suck that shit." Candi said banging her fist against her hand.
"Yeah he was fucked up for that but you are still going to keep him around for De'Andre right?"
"Nicki he beat my ass. What do you think?"
"What are you talking about!?!" Nicki yelled. Lauren snatched her shades off her face, and moved her bang out of the way. She had a black eye, and she had scratches on her forehead.
"Why didnt you tell me and Candi about this?" Nicki looked over and noticed that Candi was a little too calm. "Dont tell me you knew about him beating her ass, and NOBODY told me abouth this!?!" Candi looked away. Nicki looked between Candi and Lauren. She got up from the table, and picked Allianna up out of her high chair. Nicki grabbed her purse, and her diaper bag.
"Yall wrong!" Nicki said before throwing a $100 dollar bill on the table. She looked at Candi, and Lauren one last time before she turned, and walked toward the door. Once she reached it she looked to make sure there was no paps around, and Nicki walked out..... Not looking back.
