Flashback #1

(Nicki's POV)

"You having fun, kid?" Wayne asked, obviously drunk. I cocked my head to the side and responded with a quick "yes." He got the message and went back to join the rest of the Young Money/Cash Money family. They looked like they were having a good time. Me, I couldn't bring myself to it. I scurried away from the group, not wanting to be a Debby downer and found a nice seat in the corner side eyeing everyone. Then there he was. Light skin complexion. Curly Afro. Golden hazel eyes. He was the reason I wasn't feeling my best tonight. I took out my barbie berry, to look like i was busy. Little did I know, he took a seat right across from me. Great, just what I needed. *Onika, tonight is not the night to make a fool out of yourself* I wish Martha wasn't in my head right now. She's Roman's mom, not mines. He saw that I was in deep thought. "Is this seat taken?" He already knew the answer to that question. Why does he do that? "No. You can stay if you want to." A smile creeped upon his face, showing his pearly whites that was to die for. "Whats so funny?" "Its funny how you are over in this corner like you're the ugly girl that didn't get picked to be dance with at prom." A rolled my eyes like I was really hurt, but I wasn't. "I feel like it. I wanna dance, but I'm not that good of a dancer." "No prob, I like to teach." I winked at him. He took one last sip of henny from his glass, reached for my hand and lead me to the dance floor.

"Ouch!" I accidently stepped on his foot with my red bottom heels. "I told you I suck at dancing. Sorry!" I looked down, because he probably thought I was a cluts. He lifted my chin up with his thub, causing me to look into his eyes. "Aubrey, please. You do have a girlfriend." "I'm sorry, its just you're so precious." "#pauz." "What? Why?" "Because Precious is a big girl." Weboth laughed at the same time. "I'll get my kiss from you one of these days Miss Minaj." "Maybe when you loose your little girlfriend." I looked up at him and he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before turning around to leave to get back to his girlfriend, Rihanna. I could feel her green eyes burning a hole in my back. I don't know why, but I get the feeling she doesn't like me. Why is she starng at me like that? He kissed me. Plus she has the guy that I'm secretly love. No. I don't love Drake, he's my brother. *Bitch, stop lying to yourself! You want ze zick!* I watched them walk out hand and hand. Soon after I got in my benz and headed home too. *Aubrey, I do love you. I'm IN love with you!*



Interlude

(Nicki POV)
Come on Onika, Just a few more shots and I'll be done. In due time, it will all be worth it. Do it for my family and the barbz.
I kept taking short breaths to calm myself down. I'm very tired. From rift rafting between rehearsals and studio time, I've been really busy lately. Today I have a live for now commercial for Pepsi and I'm really excited, I really am. I've been here since 10am and its now going on 3pm. I just wanna go home and lay in bed with Aubrey. I was in my own little world, until I heard the director say " that's a wrap." HungryNIKA is calling. I headed to the snack bar and loaded my coach mini bag with the little sweet chocolate candies. Call me greedy, but everyone knows I like to eat! Got damn it! I was in the middle of a food war with the smearing chocolate surrounding my lips , when one of my assistants came towards me handing me a phone . "Who wants to talk to me?" "Your mother, a ummm Mrs.Maraj?" Well, I better start digging my grave right NOW.

Chapter 12: The Real Her (Part 2)

(3rd Person POV)

The couple laid awake , neither knowing the other was awake as well. Nicki felt Drake stir in the bed, so she turned her body facing him. "Drake, I know you're not sleep." Drake fluttred his eyes open, looking pasted Nicki's shoulder looking at the clock. The time read 2:49am. "Nic, I- umm, you heard that?" "Yeah. Don't be silly, you do know me babe." "Onika, baby why do you put up this wall? I'm trying to be with you , but all you do is push me away and we can't keep doing this." He turned on the lamp on the nearby night stand to look Nicki dead in her eyes. Drake lifted her chin , when she put her head down. "Hey, beautiful. You can tell me whats on your mind okay ?" "Its just that . . " "Its just what Nic?" "Its just that every relationship I'm in, it always goes downhill. When I love , I love hard, really hard. But its just that they always seem to run away and I can never find the right one." Drake sat up and kept listening intentively. "But you Drake, baby I just thought if I kind of keep my distance from you, I could keep you forever and you wouldn't leave me." "Onika, I've been hurt too and I know how it feels and I would never, I mean never hurt you. I hate it when such a pretty face cries. You're too good for that and I'm never leaving your side." "See and this is why I love you Aubrey." "You sound like you really mean it." "That's because I do." "I love you too Onika." Onika laid her head on Drake's chest .

A few hours passed, and neither one of them were sleep. They just cuddled up together and enjoyed each other's company. "I'm ready." Nicki said confidently. "Nic, I don't think you are." "And why is that?" Drake furrowed his eyebrow. "I don't want you to wake up later on and regret what happend." "You don't want to have sex with me?" "Really Nic? o_O Of course I do! You're Nicki Minaj, I love you and any nigga would be stupid to not wanna tap that." Nicki grabbed a pillow and hit him upside the head. "Ouch!" "I'm serious Drake!" "As am I." Nicki huffed her breath. "Soon baby, soon." "Okay." Drake grabbed Nicki's face with both of his hands and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
