Chapter 7

(AN: This chapter really didn't want to be written... It got accidentally deleted twice... so this is not really how I originally had written it... but I figured I'd just post it before it gets deleted again.  Didn't have time to proof read sorry... You all know how I feel about this story... no need to say it again.  ENJOY! COMMENT, PLEASE! < it makes me happy.)


"I already told you it’s okay Lauren" Nicki kept her phone trapped between her ear and her shoulder as she put everything she needed on her bag "Really, don't worry. Take care of everything you have to do. I'll just catch the bus" she glanced at the wall clock of her living room: 6:45am “Just come over this afternoon, we NEED to talk. Love you" she hung up and sighed.
Lauren had just called telling her she wasn't going to be able to pick her up for the university, at moments like this she wished she had her own car. Of course, she couldn't afford it. To make the situation worse she was already late. Her first class was at 8:00am and she had to meet with a guy, whom she was helping with a class, to give him a project he had given her to do.

She grabbed her bag, the binder with the project, her keys and headed for the door. Her bad humor got the best of her and she opened to door rather forcefully causing her to almost crash into someone.

“Whoa! Easy there” she looked up and saw him standing there, two cups of coffee in his hands.

“Damn Drake, you scared me”she turned around and closed the door, locking it with her keys “What are you doing here?”

“I came to bring you some coffee” he said holding her cup up and handing it to her. She looked at him for a brief moment before taking the cup from his hand. “With milk and two of sugar, just the way you like it.
Why was he doing this?

“Thank you” she looked at him again and gave him a small smile “I’m sorry, I’m already running late” she tried to walk pass him but he blocked her.

“Late for what? It’s 6:50 Nicki, what time does your class starts? 8:00?” she nodded “How are you ‘late’?”

“Not all of us have a car Drake. That means some of us still have to take the bus sometimes” she walked pass him trying not to drop everything she had on her hands. He grabbed her by her arm and made her turn around.

“Gimme that” he grabbed her bag “Come on, I’ll give you a ride”

“I don’…”

“It wasn’t a question Nicki” he said cutting her off. She decided not to say anything and just walked to his car. Honestly, she really did need the ride so she wasn't gonna complain. Drake opened the door for her before going around to the driver’s side.

“Since when are you such a gentleman?” she asked once he started the car.

“Always been, baby girl” he winked at her. He saw her sip on her coffee and close her eyes as she savor the taste, a small chuckle escaped his lips. Same old dramatic Nicki.


“Oh!...I need to go to the library first, sorry”

“No problem”

Nicki drank her coffee in silence, looking at him occasionally.

“Thanks. For the ride and…the coffee, You shouldn't have bothered”

“Anytime. Do you always take the bus?”

“No. Lauren usually takes me, but she was busy today”

“How is Lauren? I mean I see her at the university all the time, but she still gives me a death glare anytime we run into each other”

“What did you expect?” she laughed “She is my friend. And believe me I’ve told her enough things about you to get her to dislike you” her smile never left her face, even though she was dead serious.

“Oh word? And you admit it to my face?” she chuckled but didn’t answer. A comfortable silence took over until he spoke again “I like your outfit” she looked at him “I’ve always loved how those flowy skirts look on you”

“Thank you”


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Here you go, Jason. It’s a B+ project as you requested” she handed the binder to a small guy “If you have any problems with the project or the grade is not the promised one, let me know and I’ll give you full refund”

“Ok, thanks Nicki. I know it was short notice but you are saving my life with this” he took his wallet out and handed her the money, which she happily took.

“No problem” she turned towards Drake who had been standing behind her the whole time. “You didn’t have to wait for me Drake; I can walk to the classroom by myself”

“I wanted to” he grabbed her bag, both walking out of the library “How much did he pay you?”

“$100. It’s just one project not a class. Those are more expensive”

“How much do I have to pay you?” She shook her head.

“Nothing, we made a deal. You are helping me with my project and I’ll help you”

Drake just nodded but made a mental note to find out how much she charged for class. He was going to pay her even if she didn’t want him to.

“How's the project going?” she made a face.
“It's... I don't really know. Right now it's all over the place to be honest. I'm just hoping it gets better as we advance”

“We haven't really done anything yet Nicki, it'll get better” they stopped talking when they reached her classroom. “Well, I have practice today at 2:15. It’s gonna last about an hour and then I’ll give you a ride home”

“Oh no! Don’t worry, really, I’ll take the bus”

“No you won’t, Nicki. It’s on my way to my place, I can take you” he handed her the bag. “You can come to the court and wait for me” he walked closer to her “Like old times”

No.

“I’ll wait for you at the library”


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Her entire day was spent in class and her lunch break on the library. Partly because she wanted to start an assignment she had and also cause she didn't feel like sitting in the cafeteria and watch him interact with his friends, including Kate. Especially considering she didn't have Lauren there today to give her support. Her phone vibrated indicating she had a new text.

'Dnt forget'

Something inside her was telling her to stay right where she was, sitting at the library's table that she had claimed as her own for the day. But she wanted to see him play. She knew how passionate he was about basketball, how hard we worked to earn his spot on the university’s team. He used to tell her all about his dreams ever since they were just kids.

Standing up she gathered her things and walked out.

She could hear the player’s voices as she got near the gym. Quietly opening the door, she found a spot at the bleachers and sat down. A smile crept to her face as she watched him move around the court. He wiped the sweat forming on his forehead with the back of his hand and licked his lips. Could this be considered sexual interaction? Because he wasn’t even touching her, hell he hadn’t even seen her, but she felt that familiar feeling between her legs. Nicki crossed her legs to try and pacify it a little. It wasn’t working.

Reaching for her bag, she searched for her notebook and her pen. Quickly writing the exact feelings she had at that moment and exactly what had caused it. If she couldn’t get rid of the damn feeling between her legs, she might as well use it for her advantage on the project.

“I didn't think I'd see you here” Nicki closed her notebook and looked up to meet Drake's eyes staring down at her.

“Didn't you invited me?” he sat next to her. She looked at his sweaty face and suppressed a small moan from coming out. He looked so sexy to her. “Are you done?”

“Yeah, lemme go change and I'll come get you so we can leave”

“Don't”

“Nicki, I already told you I was gonna take you an...” she cut him off.

“No, I mean, don't change”

Just like old times. He grinned.

“Let's go.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Can I use the bathroom?” he needed an excuse for her to invite him in.

“Sure” she opened the door and let him in “You know where it is”

Her phone started ringing and she went to her room to take the call as Drake found his way to the bathroom.

“Yes I understand Mr. Jonhson” Nicki paced back and forth on her room listening to the man on the other line “I know. I’ve just had a rough month. I promise to have the rent money by the end of the week” she hung up the phone and sat down on the bed staring at nothing in particular. How was she supposed to get $400 by the end of the week? She could feel her head starting to hurt. She had 3 projects she had to do for other people, including Drake’s. Still, the money she was going to get from those wasn’t enough and she already owed money to Lauren.

Drake stood at the door looking at her, he hadn’t heard her conversation, but just by looking at her he knew it wasn’t good news. Her eyes were fixed to the wall, lost in her thoughts, a frown on her face.

“You okay?” her eyes focused on him and she nodded.

“Yeah, just…stuff. Don’t worry about it” her eyes wondered down his body and she unconsciously smiled. He noticed.

“What are you smiling for?” He entered the room and stood right in front of her.

“Just… went back in time. I hadn’t seen you play basketball in a long time, you have improved a lot”

“Thanks…… it was nice seeing you there watching me”

“I always loved watching you play, there’s something sexy about the way you concentrate so hard on your game” she stood up and walked towards her dresser leaning back on it, her eyes finding their way back to Drake. “It has always been a turn on for me” Where was all this coming from? Maybe it was all the newly added stress and the need to concentrate on something different than her problems, but she didn’t feel like stopping now.

“Oh?” he just smirked at her and walked closer. Nicki looked up and down his body, his red and white basketball shorts and t-shirt looked good on him.

“Yes. Maybe it was my teenager hormones driving me crazy, but I always found the way you sweat sexy” she took a step forward, her eyes on his chest “and the way you smell, just you... No perfume needed.....Used to turn me on so much”

“And you didn’t tell me this back then?” she shook her head no “I could’ve done something about that” she just shrugged, her finger tracing a random pattern on his shirt.

“I learned to take care of it myself”

“Oh word?”

Nicki wrapped her hands around his neck and brought his head down. Her mouth close to his ear “Word” she placed a kiss on his neck.

“Nic..”

“Mmm?” she kept kissing his neck, her lips eventually grazing his weak spot. She nibbled his earlobe before going back to place small kisses on his jawline, her hands wrapped securely around his neck, keeping him in place.

She let go of him and pushed him towards the bed. Drake just stared at her confused as he sat down. This was definitely not the Nicki that was a mess a couple of days ago when he kissed her. And he would be lying if he said he wasn’t intrigued by her actions.

“You know….” She straddled him, her skirt riding up “I still haven’t asked you what your favorite position is” she pushed him down, so he was laying down looking up at her as she sat directly on top of his crotch “But then I remembered…” she lowered herself and kissed the corner of his mouth before whispering in his ear “You love this one” She slowly moved her hips in a circular motion against him.

“Fuck…” his hands automatically went to her thighs. She smirked before placing her hands on his chest and pushing herself back up, her hips never stopping her movement. He looked up at her, a mocking smile on her face as she moved back and forth.. Her covered center making direct contact with his shorts covered manhood.

It didn’t take long for her to feel him rising up under her. Feeling accomplished she got off of him, leaving him even more confused “Well that was easy” she gave him a sweet smile.

Oh hell no.

He sat up and looked down at his erection. Nicki laughed and got up, fixing her skirt in the process. As soon as she tried to walk away, Drake pulled her by the waist and laid her back in the bed, immediately finding his place between her legs, one on each side of his body. His hand moved down her leg, caressing it before hooking it on his arm and pushing down on her. She gasped at the feeling of his erection pressing against her.

“And I know you like this one Nicki” it was his turn to whisper on her ear “Don’t play with me Nic” his hand moved up her skirt “Cause you’re gonna lose” he thrusted his hips against her again causing her to let out a small moan.

Drake kissed down her clothed body, starting with her neck and stopping on her thighs. Nicki kept her eyes closed, allowing herself to just feel. He kissed the inside of her thighs, placing her legs over his shoulders. He could feel Nicki’s heavy breathing as his mouth left a trail of small kisses until he reached her center. He took in her scent a placed a small kiss over her panties. Nicki’s hands immediately reached down and pushed his head away.

“No, Drak…” he cut her off

“Shh” his hands went to the hem of her underwear and pulled it off, he removed her legs from his shoulder for a second as he completely took them off, leaving on her skirt. Repositioning himself between her legs, his mouth repeated the same actions. He felt her tense up as his lips made contact with her pussy. She smelled so good. He forced himself to take it slow; he wanted her to enjoy this as much as he was going to. Only small kisses were placed for the first couple of seconds, giving her time to adjust to what was going on. He licked the inside briefly. Once. Twice.

Nicki’s breath hitched, and she bit her lip to prevent any sound to come out of her mouth, her hands clutched at the bed sheets. His hands found their way to her center, massaging and caressing her. Drake pushed his tongue back in, this time with more force and as deep as he could. Nicki moaned loudly and backed up attempting to get away from his touch; his hands stopped the movement on her pussy and moved to hold her in place. His mouth taking all of her, tasting her. It was the sweetest thing Drake had ever tasted, she was like a little piece of heaven.

Nicki couldn’t think. What was happening? She could feel Drake’s mouth doing wonders on her, his tongue coming in and out of her hard and fast. Her eyes rolled back and she prepared herself for what was about to happen when she suddenly felt Drake lifting his head up from in between her legs. Her eyes shot open to see him staring at her, mocking smile on his face.

“The fuck you think you’re doing” her breath was labored.

“Payback” he tried to move but Nicki’s legs wrapped even tighter around her head, her hands pushed him back down to her center and he let out a chuckle “You want me to make you cum baby girl?” he blew on her swollen lips, getting a moan in response..

“Don’t try me Drake”

“Say it” his tongue fondled at her soft flesh.

“Dra..” She tried to move her hand to her center, but he pushed it away and placed a soft kiss on it instead. He wanted to finish this, he craved to taste all of her, but he was determined to make her say what she wanted. “Please”

“What do you want Nicki?” he could see and smell her wetness.

Her hands pushed his head down again with more force this time and moved her hips up to meet his mouth. His self-control reached his limit as he started eating her again, hearing her moan his name over and over again. He felt her body writhe as she reached her orgasm, her hips moving against him mouth as she rode it out and he drank all of her. He licked her clean before making his way back up her body, their fully clothed bodies making contact with one another. Drake could feel the heat coming from her and he took his time to observe her. Sweaty forehead and heavy breathing. His hand made his way up the side of her thighs inside her skirt and she wrapped her leg around his waist bringing him closer.

Something about what he had just done was different for him. This wasn't just any girl, this was Nicki. The girl he had loved with everything inside him. Having her this close to him, her body still trembling a bit from his previous actions made him wonder what the fuck had happened between them. Why wasn't she the only girl he held in his arms after pleasing her? It felt right.

His smile mirrored hers and he placed a small kiss on her lips, the first one in the entire evening. She let out a content sigh, her hands reaching up to play with his curls.

“Fuck, Drake. Where did you learn that?” his smile disappeared and she shook her head “Wait, no. Don’t tell me” She looked to the side avoiding his gaze. He used his free hand to turn her head back, his eyes traveling from her lips to her eyes and back again. And he kissed her; hard. His tongue gained entrance to her mouth, intertwining with hers almost immediately. She could taste herself on him and for a strange reason that turned her on. They broke apart to breathe and just stared at each other for what seemed to be an hour. Nicki kissed him softly, moving lazily against his mouth, her hips moving again against him.

They were so focused on their current task that neither heard the front door opening.

“Nicki, where are youuuu?” before they could react, Lauren stood at the bedroom door looking at both of them. Drake lying on top of Nicki with her legs wrapped around him, her underwear on the floor. “What the fuck?!”

Chapter 6

(AN: This chapter it's just... blah.  I hate it... and I STILL dislike this story.  Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy! Please, comment :)...)


Laying on her bed, he attempted to come out of his trance.   He had almost forgotten how sweet her moans were, like music to his ears.  Every face expression she made was in his mind and refused to leave.  Forcing himself to stop replaying what had just happened he stood up and looked around her small room. There were books everywhere, but other than that it was neatly organized.   He ran his hand through a painting on her wall and smiled.  'How long has she had this?' He remembered seeing that same painting years ago on her wall, when she still lived with her parents.  

His eyes traveled to the photos she had on her wall: one of her mother and one with her two brothers.  He looked down to the picture on her nightstand. She had her high school graduation cap and gown on, her smile was huge and her eyes were looking straight at the camera.  He knew this picture.
"Come on Nika, smile" Drake pointed the camera at her.  She pushed it away.
"No Drake! I look like a mess"
"You look perfect, smile" he pointed the camera at her again and she smiled. Click.
He had taken it.  He grabbed the frame to get a closer view, smiling at the memory. As he put the frame back in its right place, something else caught his attention, a small box on top of the nightstand.  Opening it, he sat back down as he took out the picture that hid inside.

He stared at the two teenagers smiling for the camera.  He was hugging Nicki from the back, his chin resting on her shoulder and her hand resting on the side of his head, holding him close.  A million things ran through his mind as he slowly turned the picture.  There it was.  Written in his handwriting: ''Love You, Nika"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She stared at herself in the bathroom’s mirror while she untangled her hair. The stress she had before entering the shower had completely disappeared and as much as she wanted to think that it was because of the hot shower, she knew better. It had been him. The way his hands had touched her naked body, his lips on hers and everything he had made her feel. It had been a long time since she had experienced something like that and, honestly, she needed it. He was doing what she had asked for, helping her with the project. However, she couldn’t help to be upset at the power he had over her. He was good and he knew it. Wrapping the towel around her naked form, she walked out of the bathroom and made her way to her room. She stopped at the door and saw him sitting on her bed, looking at a picture. Oh fuck. 
“What are you doing?” her voice startled him and he looked up to see her standing right in front of him. He saw her looking down at the picture he still had in his hands. 
“I just went back in time” he kept his eyes fixed on the picture, until she took it from him, placed it back in the box, closed it and put it back where it was 
“I wasn’t done looking at it”

“You really shouldn’t be snooping around my room” she walked into her small closet and gathered her underwear and clothes. 

“You shouldn’t have taken that much time in the shower, I was bored” she didn’t even have to look at him to know he was smiling. She walked out and saw him lying on the bed.

“Well, I would’ve been out earlier if I hadn’t been … interrupted” she stepped into her underwear struggling to keep her towel on. She looked up and saw him staring at her with a smirk on his face “Take off your clothes Drake” he lifted an eyebrow and she rolled her eyes “It’s all wet, genius. Take it off and put it in the drying machine for a bit before we leave” Her eyes never left his as he stood up and took off both his shirt and his jeans. Now it was her time to stare at him as he walked to the door. 
“Nicki.. my eyes are up here” 

“I know…. but I’on wanna look at your eyes” he laughed.

Moving closer to her, his hands grabbed her towel and pulled it off of her body.

Nicki gasped and covered her breast with her arms.  His eyes traveled down.

"Neither do I" he winked at her and stepped out of the bedroom, closing the door.

~*~*~*~*~*


"Where do you wanna go eat?" He looked over at Nicki who was looking out the window before turning his gaze back to the road. "Nicki, I'm asking your something"

"Wherever you wanna go it's fine Drake" she answered without turning to look at him.  She didn't want to be here.

"It's pizza ok?" he looked at her again and she just shrugged.  Silence took over the space between them as he drove them to the nearest pizzeria.

"Are you ok?"

She didn't answer.  No, she wasn't.  She was embarrassed to say the least, how had she let things get so far?  Not only had he seen her naked, but he had touched her.  And not only did she let him do it, but she had allowed herself to enjoy his touch. 

"Is this whole thing going to be like this?" his voice broke her out of her trance and she turned to look at him.

"What?" 

"Are you gonna get mad at me every time I do something for this project?"  she huffed.

"No Drake, I'm gonna get mad every time you do something without consulting me"  she raised her voice a little and looked ahead "What were you thinking?"

"I was helping you relax... Babe" he kept his eyes on the road and smirked.

"Don't call me babe! And what makes you think that your actions helped me relax? They didn't!"  Lie.

"You looked relaxed to me"  his hand gripped the steering wheel "Your head against the wall and leg around my waist"

"Shut up Drake" he knew she was mad but he couldn't help to mess with her.

"Oh and lets not forget about your face and that sexy expression.  I could swear I heard you mo..." 

"Shut the fuck up" she said through gritted teeth.

"Why? You don't want to admit you enjoyed it? I even had to hold you after, make sure your legs didn't gave up on you" he said as he parked the car.

"Fuck you"

He turned off the engine and turned to look at her.

"When?" his hand went to her jean covered thigh "Now or later?"  He laughed when she pushed his hand away, got out of the car and slammed the door.  Drake saw her walk to the pizza place and locked the car before following her.  He entered the pizzeria and stopped at the counter to order a large extra cheese pizza and two Cokes.  Nicki was already sitting in a table at the back of the place, with a frown on her face.  He could feel her eyes burning a hole through his body as he walked to the table.

"Nicki, fix your face girl, I'm playing with you" he sat down "Pizza is gonna be ready in 15 minutes"

"You are so annoying Aubrey" he made a face at the name "What? You interrupted my shower, without my permission. Put your hands all over my NAKED body, without my permission. And took off my towel, without my permission... So I believe I have every right to call you whatever the fuck I want.... Aubrey"

"We are back to this?" he sighed "Nicki, you know that was part of the project.  Plus... it was fun" he smiled at her.

"Fun? How was that fun for you?  You didn't get anything out of it"  

"And? You did, that's enough.  Also, who told you I didn't get anything out of it?"

"Should I remind you that your waist was pressed against mine?" she felt herself blush "I could feel you through your pants"

"So what your saying is that because I didn't get a release I didn't get anything out of the situation?" she nodded "Nicki, I got to see the way your body reacted to me.  I heard you moan" his eyes met hers "I held you close while you came down of the sexual high that MY hands caused you.  I did get something out of it"

“You do that to every girl?” Please say no.

He honestly didn’t want to answer her.  “No” she gave him a disbelieving look “Well…. Not to every girl.  I mean, sometimes it’s necessary.  Gir...” he stopped talking when a young girl, who he assumed was the waiter, placed their food and drinks on the table “Thanks” the girl gave him a sweet smile and left. “Now, where were we?”

“You were telling me something about it being necessary” Nicki grabbed a slice of pizza and bit it.

“Oh yes.  Well sometimes it’s necessary to use different methods with girls.  Girls have an advantage over us guys”

“And that would be?”

Drake took a bite of his pizza and made a gesture with his finger as if to say ‘hold up’.  He drank some of his Coke, before putting it back in the table and looking at Nicki again.

“How many times can a girl cum?’’ Nicki choked and coughed. “You a’ight?” she nodded and he laughed “Let’s just talk about this some other time”

“No! Go ahead, I’m very interested in knowing this” he gave her a small smile and rose his eyebrow “I mean, it could be great insight… for the project”

“Right, well, as I was saying, girls can… reach their sexual high more than once.  It’s our job to make sure they get there as many times as it’s possible.  That’s why we use our hands and you know, other things”

Nicki was about to say something back when she noticed a girl walking towards their table with an angry expression plastered on her face.  It took her a couple of seconds to figure out who she was.  The girl that sat on his lap, every single day, at the university’s cafeteria. Drake noticed Nicki staring at something and followed her gaze, only to meet Kate's furious eyes looking down at him.

“Drake” her voice was surprisingly calm.

“Sup’ Kate”

“I’ve been calling you babe” she looked at Nicki, who was eating her slice of pizza in silence. 

“Oh” Drake searched his pockets for his phone but didn’t find it “My bad, I must have left it at Nicki’s apartment”

“What were you doing at her apartment? I thought you had some ‘homework’ to do” she said making air quotes. 

“She is the one helping me with them” his voice sounded annoyed “I’m kinda busy here, I’ll call you later”

“But…”

“Later, Kate” the look on his eyes let her know she shouldn’t keep pushing the topic. She gave him and Nicki a dirty look and left.  Nicki watched her as she got out of the pizzeria and into a car, the same mad expression on her face.

“I think you are in some trouble playboy” she looked at Drake momentarily and sipped on her drink.  "How did she even know we were here?." He just shrugged.

“The girl that brought us the food is her friend, she probably called her... She is not usually like that, she has been a little… stressed lately. She says I have been distant, which is true.  I mean, thanks to someone who doesn’t let me be close to her" he gave her a look and she laughed.

“So she is stressed because you haven’t been having sex with her?” he nodded “Aw tell her I'm sorry....and you better keep it that way” The thought of him helping that girl ‘relax’ was eating her on the inside, but as always, she wasn’t going to let him know that. 

"Are you done eating? I have a lot of work I have to finish”

“Yeah, let's go" 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"How's your mom?" He didn't take off his eyes off the road.

"She is okay, thanks for asking" she stopped for a minute debating if she should keep talking "she actually asked about you the last time I went to visit"

"Forreal? What did you tell her" he stopped at a traffic light.

"That you were..... Fine"

He missed her family.  Mama Carol was the sweetest woman he had ever met, besides his mom.  When him and Nicki started dating, she was always supportive of their relationship.  Her food was amazing too.  Jelani and Micaiah were like his brothers, always teaming up with him to make fun of Nicki.  A smile appeared on his face and he soon realized that it had been way to long since he had talked to them.

"I saw the picture of Micaiah that you have on your wall.  He looks all grown up" Nicki made a face.

"Ugh, he is! Last time I was there he told me he had a girlfriend.  A fucking girlfriend!" She scoffed loudly and he couldn't help to laugh, same old Nicki.

"Well Nicki, he is growing up.  You can't expect him to be your little lambchop for ever" 

She looked at him briefly and a smile appeared on her face at the fact that he remembered how she called her little brother.

"I know, but he doesn't even let me call him that anymore" he looked at her for a brief second and saw her pouting. 

"Can I ask you something?" 

"Yes"

"Why are you doing this?" She knew what he was talking about. "You swore you would never talk to me again, and now not only are you talking to me, but you asked me to be part of this project.  Must be important"

"First of all, I never swore I would never talk to you.  Stop the dramatics. And yes, it is important.  I could get a scholarship to finish my studies if I nail this project"

"I get you... I mean, if I lose my basketball scholarship, I'm not gonna be able to keep on studying" she gave him a small smile even though his eyes were looking straight ahead.

"Don't worry.  You'll pass those classes, I'll make sure of it". It was silent for a minute until she spoke again "I really need this scholarship" she looked down at her hands that were resting on her lap.   "Right now, I'm struggling so much just to survive" he could hear the struggle in her voice and mentally kicked himself for not being there for her.  He had screwed up they relationship.  He had promised he as always gonna be there, and he broke that promise way too soon.  One of his hands left the steering wheel and reached for hers.  Perfect fit.

"And you are gonna get it, I'll make sure you kick ass with this project... I promise" and this time, he was gonna make sure to keep that promise.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

''You should really stop staring at my ass Drake""  Nicki said as she walked in front of him.  She took out the key of her apartment and opened the door.  Drake stepped in after her.

"Girl, I've been staring at your ass since it started developing in middle school'' she chuckled.  It was true.  

"Boy, get your phone and get out of here, I have work to do"  

Drake found his phone on the couch and walked towards the door, Nicki followed him and stopped at the door. Turning around, his hand cupped her face, a smile on his face, mirroring hers. 

"Don't stress yourself so much"  she rolled her eyes.

"Drake, stop acting like my caring boyfriend and just leave" His eyes found hers, his smile never leaving his face as he leaned in and pecked her lips.  One.  Two.

"Who says I'm acting.... Nika"
