Anniversary

Nicki rolled over scanning for Safaree's body as usual but instead bumping into a teddy bear. She opened her eyes placing a hand on the teddy bear. She smiled looking at it. The bear was holding roses, a box of chocolates, and a pink note card. Nicki grabbed the note card detaching it from the bear. It read a simple but cute little note.

Happy Anniversary, beautiful.

Nicki covered her smile with her hand and then moved her hair out of her face. She placed the teddy bear in the center of the bed and headed for the bathroom. Opening the bathroom door, the floor of the bathroom was covered with rose petals leading up to the bathtub which had both end covered with candles. Nicki laughed when she spotted Safaree sitting in the tub. She held on to the wall and turned her back to him trying to cease her laughing. Safaree smirked at her still sitting in the tub so casual. 

"You gonna join me, or...?" 

Nicki turned around facing him and shook her head while still smiling. "Just a minute." Nicki walked over to the sink and began brushing her teeth. Nicki glanced over at Safaree who was staring at her. "What?" she stopped brushing her teeth and looked over at him.

"Your legs."

Nicki looked down at her legs then looked back up at him confused. "What about them?"

"Their sexy." 

Nicki playfully rolled her eyes and went back to brushing her teeth. She finished and rinsed her mouth with the cup of water and put it back on the sink. She turned to her right facing Safaree while tying her  hair up into a bun. She stopped right before the bathtub and removed her thong. She stepped out of them and then took off Safaree's over sized t-shirt and stepped in the tub at the opposite end. 

"When did you do this?"

"Before you woke up. You were sleeping like a baby. I don't even know how you stayed sleep 'cause I dropped these candles and you still didn't budge. You must've been tired."

"I am. Well, was." Nicki sighed while playing with the bubbles in the bathtub. "I've been so stressed out lately. But I know you'll make it all better for me today." Nicki smiled while looking up at Safaree while she continued playing with the bubbles. 

"Give me some." Nicki met Safaree halfway and kissed his lips. Nicki scanned for Safaree's hand under the water and leaned in to give him another kiss. He put his free hand on her waist and pulled her a little bit closer to him.

"I love it when you grab me right there." Nicki smiled leaning in close to his face.

"Do you?" Safaree questioned gripping her waist a little tighter.

"Mhmmm." Nicki finished the gap between him giving him a kiss, holding it for a while. Safaree broke the kiss and spoke up.

"Aight. Let's hurry up. Long day ahead of us." Safaree winked and scanned the tub for the soap.

---

Safaree pulled up to a building she had never seen before. She was silently praying in her head that it looked better on the inside than it appeared on the outside. Safaree parked and hopped out making his way around to Nicki's side. He opened the door and stood there letting her gather her things up. Nicki placed her right leg out of the car and looked back down making sure she didn't drop anything. She placed her purse on her left wrist and then extended her right hand to Safaree's arm. As Nicki moved to the side Safaree shut Nicki's door.

"Faree, where did you bring me?"

"Don't let the outside fool you."

Nicki playfully rolled her eyes and firmed her grip on Safaree when she felt herself slipping. They made it to the door and Safaree opened it letting Nicki walk in and following in behind her. Nicki stopped right after she stepped in not knowing where Safaree was taking her. He kept his hand on the door as it was closing so it wouldn't slam. After it closed Safaree grabbed Nicki's hand and she fell in place as Safaree led her to the main area.

Nicki smiled approaching the room and her smile grew when she saw the table that was set up for them. It was decorated with a pink table cloth with white rose petals on it. The rest of the room was decorated with white and red, decorated mainly for Safaree's obsession with red, but it didn't throw off the decoration of the table. The table actually complimented the rest of the room and made it stand out. Approaching the table Safaree released Nicki's hand and pulled out her chair for her. Nicki slid into the seat as Safaree made it around to his side of the table and took a seat. Nicki smiled looking around speechless.

"So this is what you were out doing all that time?"

"Yeah. You like?"

"I love it. You did a good job, baby."

Safaree smirked and shrugged at the same time. "A coon does what he can."

Nicki smiled at Safaree who smirking. Nicki raised an eyebrow when she heard some movement coming from what looked like it could be a kitchen. Safaree turned his head looking back and turned his attention back to Nicki at the table. "One second." Safaree got up heading to what was indeed a kitchen. Nicki dropped her jaw in shock at SB leaving her at the table by herself. Sitting there Nicki looked down to the side of her double checking the side pocket of her purse making sure she had her letter most of all. Safaree came out of the room causing Nicki to look up. She watched him as he made his way back to the table and sat down.

"What was that about?"

"Had to get the workers in check back there."

"Oh really?" Nicki cocked her head to the side looking at him.

"Yeah but don't worry about that."

Nicki continued to stare at him before SB broke the silence.

"You know you look so bad in red."

"Do I?"

"Man." SB shook his head. "Don't you. You should wear red more often."

"Hmm. I don't know. I only wore it for this special occasion. What's in it for me if I do?" Nicki grabbed her glass taking a sip of her drink while her eyes never left Safaree.

"That depends. What do you want?"

"You know what I want."

"OKAY NASTY'S!" Nicki snapped her head in the direction of the newly but familiar and irritating voice. She giggled at Candi and Lauren holding trays of food and heading towards their table. Nicki turned her attention back to Safaree speaking up.

"So Candi and Lauren was in on this too? AND Candi kept a secret? Wow."

Candi and Lauren made it to the table. Lauren placed Safaree's plate in front of him while Candi placed Nicki's plate in front of her. Candi made eye contact with Nicki as she moved the tray out of the way.

"I would usually have a comment but I'ma let you rock today."

"Mhmmm."

"Ye-" Candi was about to speak up again when Lauren grabbed her arm and pulling her off and back into the kitchen.

"How did you get Candi to keep all of this a secret?"

Safaree took in a fork of his steak. "I paid her. That shut her up."

"How much?"

"More than I should have now that I think about it."

Nicki chuckled a little and began picking at the food on her plate. Her and Safaree sat there talking for what seemed like forever about any and everything They discussed the plans for the upcoming tour, videos, concerts coming up, BET Awards, etc. Safaree told Nicki he made plans for her mom and brothers to come down here pretty soon before the went back on the road. He told her he made arrangements and activities for what they would be doing but he wouldn't tell her what. Nicki pouted of course but it didn't work. As time went by and the dinner started to wind down Safaree decided it would be a good time to start exchanging gifts.

"I think it's that time."

Nicki nodded in agreement and they both pulled out their gifts setting them on the table. Nicki moved her glass a little to the side. She moved her plate up more to corner of the table so it was out of the way as well. "Come closer to me." Safaree got up moving his chair closer to Nicki's. He leaned over reaching out for his bag and Nicki grabbed his hand that was closest to her just in case he lost balance. He grabbed a hold of the bad and handed it over to Nicki. Nicki grabbed the bag and let go of Safaree's hand while sitting the bag on the table. She adjusted herself moving closer to SB.

Nicki looked inside the bag and saw 3 light pink boxes. Nicki pulled out the first box and sat it on the table while moving the bag out of the way a bit. She opened it and smiled softly and the ring that Safaree bought her. It was just like one he had bought for himself recently except it had pink diamonds as to where his had red diamonds. She pulled the ring out of the box gently and slid it on her ring finger. Putting her hand out in front of her looking over her ring her smile grew. She looked over at Safaree and puckered her lips. He met her the rest of the way. She slid the ring of sitting it back in the box and placed the box towards the middle of the table. She reached in the bag pulling out the second box this time it was a long a narrow box. She opened the lit and her eyes instantly lit up. She thumb instantly took place on the middle charm on the charm bracelet. The middle charm was an 'OF' for Onikafaree. The 'O' of the charm was pink as to where the 'F' of the charm was red. The rest of the charms were just random ones like a microphone and different little things. Nicki closed the lid and put the box next to the first one. She pulled out the last and final box. She smiled at the watch that was in the box. It was a white custom made Rolex with a light light pink setting in the middle. She closed it and turned to kiss Safaree. "Thank you, babe. I love all of it."

Nicki grabbed the bag ready to put the boxes back when she spotted Safaree's letter at the bottom of the bag. She pulled it out and looked over at Safaree hesitant to open it. He nudged her giving her the okay. "Go ahead." Nicki shook her head and put the note to the side while placing the boxes back in the bag. "I will after you get your gifts." Nicki placed the bag to the floor beside her purse and grabbed Safaree's gifts handing them to him.

Safaree opened the bag and pulled out a chain. "Luuuuuuug." He said as he looked over it. Nicki smiled looking at the smile on his face. Safaree put the chain to the side and pulled out a red box. He opened the box looking at the watch. It was a custom made Rolex all red. Safaree put that aside pulling out the last gift. It was a custom made red and white diamond pinkie ring.  Safaree put all the gifts back in the bag and placed his hand on Nicki's waist. "ALL of it was lug. I loved it. Thank you." Nicki put her hand on his cheek pulling his face towards hers.

"Give me some."

"Gladly."

SB and Nicki both met in the middle kissing each other. Nicki broke the kiss and ran her thumb across his bottom lip before kissing him. "I love you sooooooooooooo much, babe." She placed quick becks on his lips a bunch of times before she thought she was doing to much. She giggled and removed her hand from his face.

"I love you too, baby." Safaree removed his hand from her waist and kept his eyes on her as she grabbed her purse and sat it on her lap. She reached in the bag and pulled out Safaree's letter. She handed it to him and smiled for a second before her face got serious. "Babe, please don't tell me you want me to read it to you." Safaree grabbed the letter looking at her confused. Nicki sighed deeply thinking about how back when she was writing the letter she kept pepping herself up to read it to him.

"Why not?"

"Because..." she pouted. "I don't wanna cry."

"Ah. You good babe."

"Ugh. No. I'm going to read it to you. I promise... Later. Yours is going to make me emotional."

Nicki softly smiled and grabbed her letter. She looked at him before taking a deep breath and opened her letter.

Nicki. I don't think you realize how strong my love for you is. Being with you since we were teens has made me realize what real love is. The good, the bad. When I love you, when I hate you. When I don't wanna be around you, when all I wanna do is be around you-- to hold you, and touch you. When we argue, when we make love. I would not trade a single thing about our relationship. I would not trade you for anything in the world. You're not only the most beautiful person in this universe on the outside, but you are on the inside too. You've brought me along on this journey and I thank you for that. I love you so much. I'm in love with that smile. That smile... it starts my day that smile. Your laugh. Your laugh is one of the only things that can change my mood. I love your eyes. Even though you hate them, I love them. Especially your lazy eye. Never thought a lazy eye could be so cute on a person. I want this relationship forever and I mean that. Even when we're mad at each other I still can't see me being this way with anyone else. You've been the one since that very day we met. I knew there was something different about you. Something about you that I never knew I could fall so quickly for. It was hard for me to hand in my players card so early but believe me when I say you're worth it. I've never felt like this about anyone else. Thank you for being you. You make life worth living. I love you.

Nicki wiped at her tears and tried to cease her crying as she folded the letter back. Nicki never even noticed that Safaree was rubbing her lower back trying to calm her. Nicki tilted her head back and closed her eyes trying to stop crying.

"Nic. You good?" Safaree said still continuing rubbing her back. Nicki brought her head down and opened her eyes looking towards Safaree. She smiled softly and wiped at her tears. She nodded her head and leaned into his side looking up at him as he stopped rubbing her back and wrapped his arm around her.

"I've never been happier. You make me so happy, you know that?"

Safaree nodded his head and held eye contact with Nicki.

"Let's get outta here."

"You ready to go?"

Nicki nodded reassuring him and Safaree slid his arm from out of her grasp. She leaned out of his side and they gathered up their things. When Safaree saw Nicki was ready he walked over to her side and she grabbed his hand. He began leading her out of the main area until Nicki stopped.

"Are you gonna tell Candi and Lauren we're leaving?"

"Nah. I told them to leave after they gave us our food. Candi would've interrupted us so many times after that if they was still here."

"Oh." Nicki slightly giggled and continued following Safaree out to the car.

--

Safaree opened the door and Nicki went in first. Nicki began heading to the left heading for Safaree's room when he pulled her arm towards her bedroom. She looked at him confused and he placed a hand on her lower back so she wouldn't stop walking. "One more thing." He put his hand on Nicki's doorknob before looking back at her. He slowly opened the door an Nicki  dropped her jaw. Safaree had got a huge painting put above her bed. It was one of her favorite pictures of herself of ALL time that she wanted blown up and put in to black and white just never had the time. The picture was Marilyn Monroe inspired who she of course idolized. She slowly walked closer stopping right in front of her bed admiring the picture. Safaree walked up beside her and folded his arms.

"You like it?"

Nicki dropped her purse on the foot of the bed and turned towards Safaree. "You're everything. You know that?" Nicki wrapped her hands around his neck and he unfolded his arms to put them around her waist. She looked directly in his eyes when he began speaking. "You're my everything, do YOU know that?" Nicki smiled at his words and kissed him. He deepened the kiss while moving his hands up her back towards the zipper of her dress. He slowly pulled the zipper down, neither of them ever breaking the kiss. Nicki moved her hands to the bottom of Safaree's shirt before grabbing the bottom. She moved the shirt up half way before stopping and rubbing her hands over his abs and his sides. She reached her hands up taking his hat off and tossing it. Nicki broke the kiss and leaned back to fully take his shirt off. She went to reach for his belt loop and Safaree caught her hand and turned her around. He began removing Nicki's dress quickly before it got to her ass and then pulled it down slowly. When it hit her feet he began undoing her bra while placing kisses on her back and shoulders. Nicki rolled her eyes and moved her neck in a circle loving the feel of his kisses on her back. When her bra was removed Safaree grabbed her by the waist spinning her back around.

Nicki sucked on his bottom lips while undoing his belt buckle as Safaree's hands roamed all over her body. His hands stopping right on her butt before giving it a firm squeeze. As his pants dropped around his ankles he kicked off his shoes before fully stepping out of the jeans. Nicki wrapped her arm around Safaree's waist leaning in to him and broke the kiss to begin taking off her heels.

"Leave 'em. That's sexy."

"I bet you've always wanted to fuck me while I had my heels on."

"Not fuck." Safaree said turning her back to the bed. Nicki smirked before Safaree pushed her back on the bed. He crawled up her body before giving her a passionate kiss. "Make love." Nicki playfully rolled her eyes at him before he began kiss his way down her stomach. He gripped both sides of her hips continuing the kisses on her stomach. He grabbed both sides of her thongs and yanked both of the sides ripping them. He grabbed the ripped thong and tossed it to floor next to the bed. He placed a quick kiss on Nicki's sacred place causing a chill to run through her arms. He spread her legs and bit her inner thighs causing Nicki's eyes to buck. He licked his lips before he gave her pearl a quick lick causing Nicki to latch her legs on to Safaree's back. He put his arms under Nicki's legs and then over them a little grabbing hold of her thighs and pulling her forward. Safaree licked her again and Nicki closed her eyes and arched her back. He began licking her faster and getting her entire area making Nicki rub her legs up and down Safaree's back. He felt one of her heels dig into his back a little but ignored it. When Safaree's tongue entered her she moaned loudly and grabbed his head to keep him there. His tongue was moving in and out of her and Nicki took one of her hands off of his head clasping it on to her boob. He slowly took it tongue out and licked her again before sticking his tongue back in her quickly. Safaree picked up the pace moving his tongue in her in a circular motion. Nicki rubbed his head moaning loudly arching her back more and more. Safaree picked up the pace even more feeling Nicki gettin close by her moaning, slight screaming, and heavy breathing. He pulled her thighs as close as he could get them which made his tongue go deeper causing Nicki to scream out. Her thighs clamped up around his head as she felt herself about to release. He brought his tongue out and licked her entire area like a cat licking milk as her legs began shaking but he could tell she was trying to keep him locked in. He entered his tongue deep one last time before he saw her release.

Nicki tried to cease her heavy breathing while looking up at the ceiling. Safaree kissed way back up her and licked her right nipple before licking the left one giving it a gentle bite. Nicki ran her hands up his back with her nails as he started kissing on her collar bone making his way up to her neck. Nicki made her way to his briefs and slid them off of him. She grabbed his manhood tightly causing him to groan a little at her catching him off guard. He grabbed her wrist and put her hand up next to her head and that's they when they caught eye contact. Nicki bit her lip and leaned up to kiss him as he released her wrist and reached over in Nicki's nightstand. He successfully grabbed a condom out. He then broke the kiss and ripped the condom open with his teeth. Nicki took the condom out his hand and slid it on to him. She wrapped her hand around his manhood and helped him slowly enter her as she moaned and rolled her eyes.

He grabbed her hand to move out of the way so he go deeper and pinned it right beside her head like he did the other one. He moved in and out of her slowly. Safaree licked his lips loving the feel of Nicki moist and tight. She wiggled her wrist out of his grasp and her hands immediately took place on his back. Nicki moved her hips to meet him as he moved. He pulled out all the way before entering again slowly making her moan. He sped up just a little at a normal speed. Safaree grabbed her right leg and held it up over his arm going deeper. Safaree stared at her breast loving the way they moved. Nicki moved her hand from his back to his cheek and pulled him to her and kissed him. Safaree picked up the pace going in and out of her faster and he groaned against her lips, as he heard Nicki's purse fall off the bed. She broke the kiss and dropped her head back to the bed letting her moans be heard. The faster he went the louder her moans came out. She felt her leg slowly sliding off of his forearm and just let it. Safaree grabbed at her hips pulling her on to him while moving in a circular motion. "Damn." Safaree said while looking down at Nicki's body taking all of him.

Nicki tightened her walls around him and Safaree licked his lips and tilted his head back. He came up on his knees more completely up on them causing Nicki's back to detach from the bed and continued pumping in and out of her. "Ugh, YES!" Nicki said loving the way he was hitting her spots in this angle. He slid out slowly and slammed back into her hard causing her to scream before it turned into a whimper. He rolled his hips again while still moving in and out of her while looking down into her face. He could tell she was getting closer by her facial expression and so was he. He slowed down and brought their bodies back down to the bed and sat Nicki up at an angle so she could watch him thrust into her. She put her arms up behind her straight before bending them down to her elbows when he kicked it back up again up. She threw her head back whimpering and screaming out his name in pure pleasure before reaching her peak falling back down to the bed. Safaree let go of her waist and slid out of her before he laid on the left side of Nicki on his back. They both stared at the ceiling trying to get their racing hearts and breathing to calm down.

Nicki rolled over on her side and grabbed his chin before making him look at her. She puckered her lips and he kissed her. "Today was everything, thank you." She removed her hand from his chin before caressing his cheek. "You deserve it all." he said causing Nicki to smile before she rested her head on his chest. 

Road to the Anniversary [Pt. 2]

"Uhm, yeah." Nicki reached over grabbing the far piece of paper and looking over it. "I think we're gonna go with this treatment for the video. I think Cam and Ross will like the idea of it. It's dope.

"Alright, so we've come to a conclusion?" Manny asked looking up from his phone.

"Yeah. So you can call Baby and Slim and let them know everything and then I'll get on the phone with Ross and Cam and sort everything out."

"Imma head over there now and get things taken care of." Manny got up from his seat and headed towards the door. "I'll call or email you later. Bye everybody."

"Bye." the whole room said in unison. Nicki continued shuffling through the papers when her phone alerted her that she had a BBM. Nicki glanced at her phone before dropping the papers back on the table and grabbing her phone. She crossed her legs while pulling up her BBMs. She sighed deeply staring blankly at her phone.

I know you've read my BBM. I know this awkward. I really just wanna talk. Kind of miss you. And writing this is even more awkward. Get back to me when you can. Take Care. 


Nicki rolled her eyes closing the BBM. She unknowingly slammed her phone down on the table a little too hard. Candi and Lauren looked at each other before looking at Nicki. Nicki was reading over the papers not noticing that they were looking in her direction. Candi cleared her throat louder than normal and Nicki looked up. Lauren giggled quietly looking down at her phone.

"Care to explain?" Candi asked.

"Explain what?" Nicki said never taking her eyes off the papers in her hand.

"You just slammed your phone down in case you didn't notice. You and Safaree at it?"

"No." Nicki put the papers down and looking at Lauren before looking at Candi.

"Soooooooo...."

"So."

"Stop acting like that. Who was it?"

Lauren laughed again never looking up from her phone. Nicki cut her eyes at Candi and began playing with her nails.

"Drake."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Nicki snapped her head in Candi's direction. Lauren looked up from her phone giving Candi a weird look.

"What was those dramatics for?"

"I'm the one with the questions here. When did you start speaking to Drake again? Secretive ass."

"Yeah, you never told me how it went at the YMCMB party the other day."

"Nothing happened really. I didn't engage in conversation with him. When he walked over to me at the party I-"

"WAIT." Candi held her hand up. "He walked over to you? With Safaree right there? Wow."

"What did Safaree do?"

"Ok, can I talk?" Lauren and Candi shrugged letting her continue. "Safaree was getting me something to drink when Drake walked over."

"Oh shit. What did Safaree do when you told him?"

"What did Drake say?"

"Can I-- finish talking, please?" Nicki rolled her eyes and continued. "Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by the both of you. I was minding mine. Having a fabulous time. Then he walked over talking about some 'You look nice'. I know this." Lauren and Candi both rolled their eyes at Nicki's cockiness. "Then he said we need to talk but it's not the right time. That's when Safaree was coming back and Drake was gone like a fucking track runner."

"So what did Safaree say?"

"Safaree was surprisingly calm. I don't know how after all the mess them two have been through with each other. Lord knows I don't need anymore of that."

"I don't understand why Drizzly Bear doesn't respect you and SB's relationship." Nicki busted out laughing at Candi's name for him.

"No, seriously. I can't." Nicki put a hand on her chest and tried to cease her laugh.

"Are you gonna tell Safaree?"

"Of course. I don't want him to think I'm tryna hide something. Especially when he means nothing to me."

"Damn. Crazy how things played out."

Nicki nodded her head slowly. Silence filled the room before Lauren spoke up.

"Where is Safaree anyways?"

"Hell if I know. Anytime I ask him he says he's got things to take care of."

"'Cause I do." Safaree said entering the living room. Everyone snapped their heads in his direction.

"And where the hell did you come from?"

"None ya damn business." Safaree said walking through the kitchen and making his way into the living room.

"Wow. The disrespect."

Nicki laughed and stared at Safaree making his way over to her. As Safaree approached her Lauren and Candi both made a sour face knowing what was about to happen. "Please don't." Lauren spoke up. Safaree wiggled his eyebrows and Nicki placed her hand under his chin. Safaree put his hand over his chains keeping them down before fully bending down giving Nicki a kiss. Nicki licked Safaree's lips before giving his bottom lip a kiss. As Safaree broke the kiss Nicki removed her hand from his chin and grabbed his hand. He gave her a kiss on her forehead and Nicki let go of his hand allowing him to take a seat next to her.

"You two are disgusting." Candi said.

"You love us together."

"Yeah. But you're like a sister and he's like a brother. I don't wanna see all that."

"Whatever" Nicki said.

"Lauren..Candi.." Safaree nodded his head at them.

"Oh so NOW you wanna properly greet us?" Candi said above normal speaking voice.

"Why are you so loud and dramatic today?" Nicki said trying to hold in her laugh.

"Who cares." Lauren said speaking up before Candi could defend herself. "We gotta go." Lauren got up from her seat with her things and walked over towards Candi grabbing her by her wrist. "Let's go, nosy. Bye Nic. Bye SB."

"Ugh. Bye y'all. Nic, if y'all get freaky while I'm gone call me tonight."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh?" Nicki said in shock trying not to laugh.

"Excuse her. Bye y'all." Lauren said and with that dragging Candi out of the house.

"Yo Candi is a nosy freak."

"She's crazy." Nicki looked down at her phone looking at the time. Nicki looked up and over at Safaree who was focusing on his phone. She put her hand on his cheek caressing it. "Where you been?"

"Taking care of business." He turned his head facing her acting as if he was going to bite her hand. She snatched her hand back quickly and rolled her eyes.

"Never tell me anything."

"It's suppose to be a secret."

Nicki looked down to her phone pulling up her BBM. As it came up she held her phone out towards Safaree. He looked up and took the phone out of her hand. As he looked over the BBM, Nicki tried to scan his face for any emotion or change in body language. Safaree shrugged and handed her the phone back and focused back to his phone.

"I don't even know why he keeps trying if you haven't been replying. Or why he even wants to talk to you now after all this time."

"I don't know what to say in response because we haven't talked in so long."

"Who cares. Just ignore him."

Nicki could tell SB didn't really care to talk about this so she deaded the conversation. "We've came to a decision for the treatment of the Ross and Cam video. I know my barbz will love it. Here." Nicki grabbed the sheet of paper that read the treatment on it and handed it to SB.

"Yeah, this'll be dope. When you shootin' it?"

"I don't know. I need to get in touch with them and set up a schedule for when we would be able to do it. I know Cam is working on a new album so I have to work around that. I'm sure Ross is available whenever so he should be good." Nicki yawned and looked over at the clock. It was 11:52 and Nicki was drained. Nicki yawned again and Safaree looked over at her.

"Tired?"

"Is that rhetorical? Carry me to your bed."

"Carry yaself."

"Baaaaaaaabbbbbeeeeee. Please." Nicki whined. Safaree sat there still focusing on his phone paying Nicki no attention. Nicki made a loud pout noise irritating Safaree.

"Alright, woman. Relax." Nicki smiled holding her arms up ready for Safaree as he stood up putting his phone in his back pocket. He adjusted his hat and pulled up his pants before picking her up. Nicki immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs tightly around his waist laying her head on his chest.

"You never wanna hold me anymore. You're mean to me."

"I hold you all the time." He said walking down the hall towards his bedroom. "And now is a prime example." Safaree made it to the bedroom and thankfully the door was already opened. Safaree walked around to the left side of the bed and put Nicki down.

"What the hell?"

"What?"

"I never sleep on this side. In your bed or mine. So fix it." Nicki raised her hands back up and smiled deviously looking at Safaree. He looked down at her and huffed as he picked her back up.

"You're so spoiled."

"You love me." Nicki kissed his neck right before he released her on the right side of the bed. She adjusted herself getting under the covers and finding her comfort. She looked over at Safaree as he was going through his dresser getting clothes. "You're not laying down with me?" Nicki made a pout face when he turned around to her.

"I'm taking a shower. I'll be back." Safaree walked over to her kissing her on her forehead as she gave him a slight smile and headed for the bathroom.

--

Safaree came out of the bathroom rubbing his face. He looked over at Nicki noticing she was sound asleep. He climbed in the bed next to her and sat up. She shifted a little when she felt his movement in the bed but never woke up. He reached over in his nightstand top drawer pulling out his letter for their anniversary. He decided it would be best to write now. His feelings would flow easier looking at her. He began writing and the words just came to him. He looked over at her and it was weird how she smiled in her sleep. He chuckled at her turning his attention back to the paper. He was writing everything so quickly he didn't even notice it was already a page and a half. He wrote his last thoughts and folded the paper back up. He put the pen and paper back in his top drawer and closed it quietly so he didn't awake her. He shifted in bed cuddling up behind Nicki. As soon as he wrapped his arm around her she scooted back more and dropped her hand on his arm.

--

Ok I KNOOOOWWWW this is mad short but I wanted to get this out of the way because the anniversary one will be a good one. AND a long one ^_^ Again though, sorry it's so short. Hope you liked it though.

Road to the Anniversary [Pt. 1]

"So what are you getting Safaree?"

"That's the thing, Lauren. I don't know. And he's being all secretive and shit and I still don't have shit."

"You always do this."

"Do what?" Nicki snapped her head into Lauren's direction.

"Wait til the last damn minute."

"Oh, shut up. If you're not gonna help me think of anything just leave."

"Damn, you've been so bitchy lately. Chill."

"I'm stresssssssssssedddddddddd." Nicki whined as she plopped down on her bed.

"Okay. What do y'all usually get each other?" Lauren took a seat in the lounge chair in the corner of the room while waiting for Nicki to answer.

"Just little gifts and stuff, but I want this to be different. We've been dating for ten years. I don't wanna just get him jewelry like I usually do."

"Hmmm.. write him a letter."

Nicki looked at Lauren in a strange way. "You know, as basic as that idea is, it might be a good one. I've never wrote him a letter."

"Whatchu gettin' Nic?" Rex asked Safaree.

"Man, I don't even know. The only thing I have is the place set up and that's it."

"Just buy her like a teddy bear or some shit. Girls love all that crap."

"Nah. She's got mad teddy bears already from her fans and shit. She don't need none of that."

"Why are anniversaries such a big deal anyways? Just tell each other ya love each other and fuck."

"See, Rex. This is why you're a lonely, black coon." All the Vaks joined in laughing. "You'll never have a relationship."

"Yo, man. Just write her a letter...on some real shit. Women love that."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You right" Safaree put his hand on his chin and contemplated the situation. "Aight. Imma write her a letter. If this shit doesn't go well, Imma fuck you up."

Safaree got up dapping all the guys before heading out.

"Later, man!" Safaree opened his car door and climbed in. He adjusted his mirrors, stopping to put on his shades and pulled off heading back home.

Nicki began to cry writing this letter. It's easier for her to keep her feelings in her head and to herself then expressing them. She was so emotional when it came to her and Safaree's relationship. When you say through Hell and back... it's been that and beyond. Never has anyone dealt with Nicki the way Safaree has. Never has anyone been there for her the way he has. And never has anyone been this patient in a relationship like THIS the way Safaree has. Nicki hurriedly wiped at tear that almost hit the notepad. She slowed down her pace of writing trying to catch her breath. She hoped she got all her sobbing out while she writes this because she could only imagine herself breaking down while reading this to Safaree. Feeling how emotional she was getting she debated with herself in her brain if she should read the letter to him or just let him read it himself. She shook her head and decided she was going to. She wanted to let him know how she truly felt and wanted him to HEAR her. No, scratch WANTING him to know, he NEEDED to know. Lately, it has been feeling like they've been drifting away from their relationship. And she was in no way here for that. So this letter meant the world to her. She needed to write this and to be honest, it was long over due. So, even if it was with a cracked voice she was definitely going to read this letter to him. As her confidence was boosting and beginning to kick in, she heard Safaree entering the house. She hurried up and closed the notepad and slammed it in the top drawer of the mini dresser beside her bed. She wiped at her face and tried her best to regulate her sudden heavy heart pace.

"Nic! Where you at?" Safaree yelled, dropping his keys on the kitchen counter.

"I'm in here!"

Safaree heard her voice on the left and headed to her room. He peaked through the cracked door making sure it was safe to go in.

"What are you doing, Safaree?"

"Just checkin'. I ain't know if you was changing or something."

"Oh? As if you haven't seen me before. Really? Boy, bye."

Safaree chuckled entering the room. He walked over to Nicki's side of the bed and leaned down to give her a kiss. Nicki put her hand on his cheek, pulling him back down to her for another kiss when he pulled a way. She held the kiss for a moment before kissing his bottom lip and then giving him another quick kiss.

"Where you been?"

"With the Vaks" Safaree answered while walking around the bed to the other side and taking a seat on the bed and leaning back. He placed his legs on the bed and she gave him a look.

"Get your shoes off my bed."

Safaree leaned his feet to the side kicking off his shoes.

"What did y'all talk about?"

"Not you."

"Oh???" Nicki grabbed the magazine from her dresser and started scanning through it.

"Don't you gotta go to the studio tonight?"

"Damn it. I almost forgot." Nicki dropped the magazine and picked up her phone scrolling through her emails.

"What time you gotta be there?"

Nicki held up her finger towards Safaree while still scrolling through her emails. Locating the email, she lowered her finger and read over the email quickly before dropping the phone in her lap and grabbing the magazine again.

"9 o'clock tonight."

"You workin on that song with Jay-Z right? Or the one with Avril?"

"Avril."

"She's just singing the chorus right?"

"Yeah."

"That's gonna be a dope record. In the Pop and Hip Hop category. I don't think people are gonna expect it. And the way you spittin on that? CRAZY!"

Nicki giggled never looking up from the magazine. Not really feeling it, she tossed it on her dresser and looked at her phone again.

"This silence is nice." Safaree said sarcastically. Nicki turned and looked at Safaree as he was beginning to sit up. Nicki grinned while she crawled towards Safaree and threw a leg over him straddling his lap. Safaree smirked and Nicki's smile grew as she began messing with his hat.

"Why do you do that?"

"Because I like it. Since I can't rub your head anymore, I like to mess with your hat."

"I like to mess with your boobs but you don't see me doing that at random times."

"Oh??" Nicki adjusted her shirt giving herself more cleavage and pushed her boobs up against Safaree. He leaned back while speaking up.

"Don't start nothing you don't want to finish. Or won't be in the mood to finish."

"Who says I'm not in the mood to finish it?" Nicki said seductively while closing the space between her and Safaree. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the cheek. Safaree's hand was on her lower back keeping her in this close position.

"How come when it's close to our anniversary we barely see each other? When we do have free time we're never around each other."

"I've got things to take care of."

"Yes, with me." Nicki placed a kiss on his lips and then on the left cheek. She kissed his lips again before moving to his right cheek. "My needs haven't been catered to in a while." She said moving her kisses down to his neck. She softly kissed below his ear while removing her arms from around his neck and running her hands up shirt and moving them up and down caressing his back.

"You don't need to worry about that." Safaree groped her ass causing Nicki to buck a little. Safaree's phone began to ring and Nicki sighed.

"Don't answer it." She went back to placing kisses on his neck. Safaree grabbed his phone off the bed and held it up in his view to see who was calling.

"Nic, I need to take this." Nicki rolled her eyes and dropped her arms from under his shirt and pouted climbing off of his lap. While she was climbing off of his lap Safaree grabbed a hold of her wrist and gave her a kiss.

"Don't be mad, baby. I'll make it up to you." Safaree winked as he walked out of the room answering the phone. Nicki gave a slight smile and grabbed her phone and opened her twitter app. When it loaded, Nicki pondered and then typed up her tweet.

*deep sigh* I almost got it barbz. *pouts*


Nicki watched her timeline continuously ask her what did she almost get. She cackled at their guesses and none of them were close. Safaree walked back in Nicki's room giving her a weird look.

"My barbz." She turned the phone in his direction so he could see one tweet that had her laughing so hard. Safaree chuckled looking over the tweet and sat down on the edge of her bed. He took his hat off his head running his hand over his head before putting his hat back on. Safaree rested his face in his hands before running his hands over his face and sighing. Nicki looked up from her phone at Safaree. She got up from where she was sitting and walked down to the edge of the bed and stood in front of him. He looked up at her and she slid onto his lap. She put her hand on his chin so he was looking up at her.

"What's wrong witchu?" she tilted her head to the side focusing in on his eyes.

"CJ and Rex got into a fight. I'm not tryna deal with that shit right now."

"Why?"

"Who knows. They're angry coons for no reason. Fighting over some girl they met at a strip club or something I don't know."

"I wouldn't even worry about that."

"I'm not. Where were we?" Safaree grabbed Nicki by her waist picking her up. She squealed at the fact that he caught her off guard. She grabbed both sides of his face when she felt herself in mid-air. He laid her down on her back and raised up Nicki's shirt midway. He began placing kisses on her stomach and his hands tightly grabbed hold of her waist. He began making his way down her stomach right above her leggings and looking up at her. He smirked and grabbed hold of the hem of them as soon as Nicki's phone rang.

"Are. you. fucking. kidding. me?"

Safaree laughed and climbed off of Nicki sitting on the edge of the bed. Nicki pulled her shirt down before sitting up and answering her phone.

"What?" Nicki rolled her eyes at the sound of Manny's voice. She nodded and said mhm after everything he said. "Are you done now?" Safaree chuckled and placed his hand under his chin. "BYE." Nicki hung up and dropped the phone. "We gotta go." she whined getting up from her bed and heading to her closet to search for some heels. Safaree chuckled getting up from the bed and heading in to her closet.

"Why we gotta go? We was just getting started?" Safaree walked up behind her wrapping his hands around her. Nicki smiled and put her hands over his hand. She turned, leaning her head back against his chest. She puckered her lips up and he bent down meeting hers.

"I love you." Nicki said moving out his grasp and walking around the closet in search of the perfect pair of shoes.

"I love you." Safaree watched Nicki pick through shoes not being able to make up her mind. "Where we going, anyways?"

Nicki picked up a shoe looking at it, comparing it to her leggings. She moved the hair out of her face and began to put the shoes on.

"Manny wants to talk to me about the new videos. When will I have time to shoot them. Annoying things like that we could have damn well did over the phone. So now I'm irritated and horny. Ugh." Safaree busted out laughing and Nicki cut her eyes at him attempting to get up from the floor.

"Shut up and help me up Safaree." Safaree walked over to Nicki placing both of his hands out. She placed her hands in his and stood up falling into his chest. Safaree immediately grabbed her waist to help her gain balance. When he saw she was good he waited for her to walk out and he followed behind her.

"And I was so in the mood for some bomb ass head right now." Safaree smirked and grabbed his phone and keys off Nicki's bed while she grabbed her phone and jacket.

"Stop smirking, asshole." Nicki said playfully while heading out of her bedroom.

"Don't be mad at me, baby. Not my fault." Safaree said continuing his smirk and following out the door behind her, hitting her light switch.
