Untitled [Part 2]

Safaree stared at Nicki as she adjusted the blanket over her head and her body. She coughed again and he could tell that she lifted her hand under the cover to cover her mouth. He watched her as her arm appeared out of the blanket and she dropped the tissue into the trashcan. She sniffed and adjusted the blanket once again.

"I hate this." Nicki said with her barely audible croaky voice. She let out a whimper and leaned her head back down on the pillow. Safaree reached over and placed his hand on Nicki's thigh. He rubbed her thigh as he sat there and stared at her for a minute.

"You need me to get you anything?"

She shook her head no and he continued caressing her thigh. His eyes slowly scanned up her body when he heard her sniffles. He seen her arm pop out of the blanket once again as she grabbed a tissue from the night stand and her arm disappeared again for the millionth time.

"I'll be in my room. Just call if you need me." He took his hand off her thigh and stood up. He went to walk out of the room and stopped at Nicki's voice.

"Nooooooooo." she said before she let out a cough again. Safaree turned around and looked down at Nicki's body curled up in the bed.

"Wussup?"

"Can you hold me?" Nicki brought the cover down some to reveal her eyes. He gave her a blank stare and Nicki's frown deepened. 

"Faree, pleaaaassseeeeeee. You haven't touched me since I've been like this. You don't give me love."

Safaree made his way back to the bed sitting down beside Nicki's body and looking down at her as he put a hand on her back.

"Don't be like that. You know I would. You're sick though, babe."

"Please? Just until I fall back asleep?" she sniffled once again. "Please, baby?"

Safaree got up and kissed the little bit of her forehead that was visible. He walked around to the other side of the bed and climbed under the covers. He took his hat off and put it on the night stand before scooting closer to Nicki. He pressed his body into Nicki as she wiggled in his grasp getting comfortable. Nicki closed her eyes again and let out a sigh. She adjusted the blanket over her head once more before she felt herself drifting off.

"Joyce could you grab me a shear skirt" Nicki took the hat from Safaree that he had outstretched for her and put it on her head. She adjusted the hat before she ran her hands over the wig before she covered her mouth with her arm as she coughed again.

"What color?"

"It doesn't matter."

Joyce shrugged and grabbed the green shear skirt from Nicki's luggage and walked over to her with her arm out. Nicki grabbed the skirt from her as she was standing up. Walking over towards the trashcan, Nicki dropped the tissue and put a hand on the table. She put one leg in the skirt trying to balance herself before doing the same with the other leg.

"Safaree, where's my jack-"

She looked up to see the jacket right in front of her face. She took the jacket out of his hand before swinging it over her shoulders and putting it on. She double checked her boots making sure they were zipped up and adjusted her skirt.

"Y'all ready yet?!" Terrence spoke up standing by the door.

"Yeah, let's go." Nicki said as she picked up her phone off the coffee table and following everyone out the door and to the after party.

---

Nicki and the crew sat directly in the middle of the club. Nicki was cracking up laughing at Terrence standing up in the middle of the dance floor acting like he's the number one dancer in America. Doing all these dances, new and old. Her laugh only got louder when he began doing the cry baby on the floor out of nowhere. Even though it was hurting her stomach to laugh she couldn't help it. She held her stomach and clutched her eyes closed but opened them after a quick second.

"I can't! I can't anymore! Joyce go get him!" She continued laughing and leaned over as she placed her hand on Safaree's arm. Joyce laughed but remained seated. "Terrance get your ass back over!" Terrence got up from the floor laughing and making his way back over to Nicki and everyone.

"I don't know why you tryna stop me Nicki! I'm showin you how to do this! Better take notes next time girl cause I'm not givin you no more twerkin lessons!"

Nicki leaned out of Safaree and took her hand off his arm as she continued laughing. Terrance approached them taking a seat next to Joyce.

"No. I'm so done. When you started to do the cry baby? No, no, no, no, no, no. I just..." Nicki's eyes widened so she could wipe her tears and her mascara that she assumed she had messed up.

"Don't hate!" Terrance shot back before picking up his glass and sipping it.

"Ugh. I need to be around my babies." Nicki stood up and walked over to her security. "Just start letting people in."

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." she patted him on his shoulder and turned to walk off. Their area was rather large so security let about roughly 15 to 20 people in. Nicki, SB, Joyce, and Terrance all spread out letting people take places in between them so Nicki could speak to everyone. She had the people in the VIP with her switch out a spot after every 7 minutes or so. When people were beginning to switch around Nicki ran her fingers through her hair as she saw a very pretty girl approaching to take a seat with her. Nicki smiled as the girl sat down at the girl smiled back.

"Hi Nicki."

"Hi babe, what's your name? You're beautiful."

"Thank you, my name's Tiana."

"Pretty. Is this all yours? It's gorgeous." Nicki reached up and touched her hair. "I'm sorry. Do you not want me to do this?" Nicki diverted her eyes from the girls hair to her eyes.

"No, you're fine. Yes, it's all mine. I'm part Indian."

"Wow. So is my father." Nicki removed her hand from her hair and Nicki grabbed her phone while sitting her hands in her lap. "So how old are you?"

"I'm 27."

"Oh my gosh, you look so much younger."

"Thank you. You're way more beautiful in person by the way."

"Thank you. Do you have a twitter? Do I follow you?"

"Yes you do. I'm @tt_43"

Nicki gasped. "Oh my gosh, that's you? You're hilarious, you have me cracking up." Nicki's smile softened and made it's way to a frown. "You seem so shy in person."

"I am. It takes me a while to loosen up to people."

"Aw, it's okay." Nicki looked in the direction of all the noise to see Terrence up dancing acting a fool once again. Nicki laughed a bit before moving back a covering her mouth with her arm to cough.

"That's cough is tough. Aw, are you sick?"

"Just a little, but I wouldn't dare miss a night being with my fans."

"Explains why I seen Safaree getting medicine the other day."

"Oh really? Where'd you see him?"

"The hotel."

"You're staying at our hotel?"

"No, I was just waiting in the lobby for my parents. Where is he by the way?"

"Uh-over there somewhere I think." Nicki turned her body and pointed her finger in the direction to the corner of the VIP section and turned back around looking down at her phone. "Probably acting a fool."

"Ugh. He is so sexy. I don't see how you can take it." Nicki dropped her phone in her lap, cocking her head to the side and squinting her eyes at Tiana while Tiana was looking passed Nicki and at Safaree in the corner. Tiana pushed her hair out of her face messing up her middle part and continued staring at Safaree as she bit her lip.

"You think he's cute?" Nicki tried to say nonchalantly. Tiana met Nicki's eyes and gave a nervous smile.

"Yeah. I just think he's the finest. Is he dating anyone?" Nicki looked over her shoulder at Safaree before turning her attention back to Tiana. Nicki hesitated to answer seeing as how determined and non-shy this girl became when the conversation switched towards Safaree. Nicki gulped a huge lump in throat that had began hurting her and spoke up making clean eye contact with her.

"No, not at all. I don't know if he's looking for a relationship right now, but he's not seeing anyone." Nicki's heart began going at a fast pace but yet still felt like it was beating it slow motion. Sure there were a few of her fans that liked Safaree but none that were bold enough to tell NICKI, or to even try to pursue something with him. Nicki straightened her jacket up on her body and tried to refocus her attention on what Tiana was saying.

"Would he?"

"I'm sorry?" Nicki said only catching the last part of whatever it was Tiana said while she had zoned out.

"Do you think he would be interesting in just hanging out with me? To get to know each other?" Nicki just stared at her not being able to find an answer. "You know what. I see my time is almost up anyways. Could you give him my card?" Tiana opened up her clutch and pulled out her card and handed it to Nicki.

"Oh, sure." Nicki took the card out of her hand and gave a smile.

"It was nice meeting you Nicki. I hope to see you more often." Tiana said closing her clutch and gripping it getting ready to stand.

"That would be wonderful. It was nice meeting you." Nicki opened her arms and Tiana leaned in for a hug, Nicki rolled her eyes and then leaned out of the hug with a smile.

"Bye Nicki."

"Bye babe."

Nicki watched Tiana as she got up and walked off. Nicki's eyes followed her when she assumed Tiana was making her way to go to speak to Safaree but she made her way towards the exit of the club. Nicki rolled her eyes and turned her body back to how she was originally sitting and jumped a little at another fan being right next to her.

"Ugh." Nicki put a hand over her heart. "You scared me barb." She dropped her phone in her lap to hug the familiar barb in front of her.

"How are you- no, wait. How did you get in here?" Nicki gave her a smirk and put a hand on her hip waiting for her response.
