Safaree POV
I just got a call from raygen's school about her getting into a fight. I dont know what that's all about but im about to go see what's up. I guess she asked him not to call Nicki but I dont blame her. She treats these kids like they're her own and all hell would break lose.
As I parked and got out I seen a fine ass honey with some leggings and heels on. I dont really do darkskin girls, but she was pretty cute. She aint got that much ass, but she about a 7 in the face. I pulled up my pants and power walked catching up to her.
"Excuse me. Is this yours?" I pulled a dollar out my pocket on the sly.
"Oh, no. But I'll take it" she laughed and grabbed it from my hand placing it in her purse.
"What's up? Im safaree"
"Im draya" she smiled.
"Hey, you have a pretty smile"
"Well thank you, safaree. Yours is not so bad either" she blushed.
"Well, ya know" I popped my collar.
"You're silly. So why are you here?"
"Uh my little sister got into fight so im here to see what happened"
"Really? My daughter got into a fight too.... oh gosh. You dont think?" She asked. I just shook my head.
"I guess we'll be finding out" I opened the double doors for her and walked in afterwards. My phone vibrated in my pocket and Nicki's face popped up on my screen indicating that she was calling. The picture was from when we were in new york visting the fam. It was after her and micaiah had a pillow fight and her hair was all over head, laying down all out of breath. She had on a white beater and basketball shorts looking as sexy as ever. I pressed ignore and sighed. She dont want me. I gotta get over her some how.
When we walked down the halls I seen how the teenagers dressed these days. It's reallll different from back in the day. Now, everything is extra tight. Skinny jeans, muscle shirts. Back then niggas kept it baggy. Dont want ya meat to make an appearance.
"Ahh.. mr. Samuels. Good to see you again" mr. Blake smiled and shook my hand.
"You too, sir." I wiped my hand cuz this nigga palm was sweating buckets.
"And mrs. Meanings. You're here like every other week but it's good to see you as well" he chuckled. She just smiled.
"So. Raygen and dalia seemed to have got into a little altercation.." I interrupted him with a laugh. Why he couldn't just say a fight?
"Something funny?"
"Nah, carry on" he gave me a look and continued.
"Like I was saying. Dalia is the one who started the little altercation by pulling raygen's hair. I wasn't told what raygen did afterwards but she seemed to have broken poor dalia's nose. Would you like to press charges, draya?"
"Hell yeah!" She shot up from her seat.
"Where is my baby?! I want raygen expelled!"
"Woah, woah, woahhhh..." I interrupted.
"Now im sure what raygen did, there was a very good explanation for it. Seeing that your daughter started the fight. Plus she cant be expelled, it's the last day so you need to chill" I said.
"I guess you're right" she rubbed her temples and sat back down.
"Now, dalia should be in the nurse's office and I dont know where raygen is. She stormed off after I told her she couldn't cheer in tonight's game"
"Hold the hell on... why not?"
"I dont allow this type of behavior in my school, mr samuels."
"Okay, and? Im pretty sure it wont happen again but she's been talking about this game all week. Yeah fighting is not the best way to solve problems, but why would you take away what's most important to her?"
"It's called consequences.."
"Yo, you gon' stop talking to me like im stupid or something... you know what? Whatever, man. Thanks for your time" I walked out of his bitch ass office, going to find raygen.
"Hey! Aren't you... nicki minaj's boyfriend?" This pretty little white girl asked me. I chuckled.
"Sadly, nah. Bestfriend. Why wassup?"
"Oh, sorry! You must be looking for raygen? Im her bestfriend jada. I'll bring you to her" she grabbed my hand and led me towards what im assuming was the gym. I seen raygen sitting on the bleachers with her head resting in her hand, watching roland practice.
"What's up, little one?" I sat next to her.
"Scaff! What are you doing here?" She hugged me around my side.
"Gotta call from that bitch nigga blake about you fighting. So glad that this is yall last day, we finna have mad fun over the summer, kid!"
"Wait... so you're not mad?"
"Not exactly cuz I know that girl did something to piss you off. Is that blood on your shirt?" I pointed. She looked down.
"Ugh. Ew, yes! Please dont tell nicki about this"
"Oh im not, because you are"
"What?! Why?!"
"Because it's something she should know. Yall are becoming closer and she wants to know if she can fully trust you."
"Scafffffff" she frowned.
"Ray..." I gave her a look.
"Fine. After we audition I'll tell her"
"Aight, cool. You nervous?"
"As heck! But I know I can sing better than shanelle so I should be good" she shrugged. I laughed.
"Ah that's fucked up"
"It's true! But please take me back to the house so I can get outta these clothes, then come back to support my brother"
"Aight. Let's go little one. Yo, ro! See you tonight"
"Word, beezy!" He shot a 3 pointer and made it.
"You are such a show off, bro." Raygen shook her head.
Nicki POV
"Why this nigga not answering my calls" I threw my phone on the table.
"What do you expect? You shut that man downnnnn" sherika said.
"Yeah I know and I feel horrible now. I miss him it's been 4 hours" I pouted.
"Awww, he should be home soon" sherika said half not listening. She was shopping online. The doorbell rang and I got up to get it. There was raygen standing there with her hair all over her head and a semi ripped shirt.
"What happened to you?" I asked. My eyes wandered to SB who was about to back out the driveway.
"I will tell you later, Nic"
"Yeah alright. Go inside and sit with sherika for a minute" I rushed her in.
"Safaree!" I yelled. He acted like he didn't hear me and continued backing out. I grabbed a rock out of my garden and threw it at his window. He stopped immediately and got out of his car to examine it. He didn't play about his precious little cars.
"What the fuck is your problem, yo?!"
"I know you heard me calling you, safaree! Where are you going?"
"None of your damn business" he ran his thumb over the scratch the rock made and got back in his car. I walked up to it.
"I dont deserve to be treated like this, safaree!" I put my hand on my hip.
"Ha! And I do? You got some nerve.."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. Look, I'll see you later" he sped off. I watched his car until it was out of sight and counted to 10 to control my breathing. When I walked back in the house I heard raygen and sherika laughing. I sat down at the island.
"Raygen, tell me what happened at school.." I tried to say as calm as possible. When she turned to look at me her face went from joy to fear.
"I g-got into a fight"
"With who?"
"Dalia.." she sighed.
"She's the biggest hoe in school, she doesn't know how to keep secrets & she said fuck me so I lost it" she played with her fingers.
"Oh. That's fucked up. I hope you won" I scratched the back of my neck. Her eyes got wide.
"Ofcourse! But hold on... so you're not mad either?" She asked.
"Girl, hell no. I would have beat her ass too. I told you you remind me of a younger me"
"Wow. Daddy would be pissed"
"Yeah speaking of him... you should press charges raygen. It's your decision but you need to do the right thing, babe"
"I know and I've decided that im gonna do it. My cheek still hurts" she touched her cheek and frowned.
"Aww, baby. I'll stop and get you some cream for it on the way out. But you're father is gonna be in jail the whole summer. Are you aware?"
"I honestly dont even care anymore, nicki. As long as I get to stay with you im gucci"
"Great, cuz that's the plan." I smiled.
"Now go upstairs and get cleaned up. After the game were going to see wayne so please dress nice."
"Nicki... I always dress nice. Zont zo it" she flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked upstairs. Sherika laughed.
"What happened out there, Nic?" Rika asked.
"Nigga done lost his everlasting mind. That's what"
"We heard yall yelling. Raygen said it was probably over something stupid so that's why we was laughing when you came in. You straight tho?"
"No, rika" I frowned.
"I just have this feeling that.... that I should apol-apol-apol-"
"The fuck is wrong with you? Spit it out"
"Apologize!" I semi yelled, then swallowed.
"Oh, lord. Nicki you only apologize to a nigga during sex" my mouth dropped.
"That is so not true!" I threw my head back laughing.
"Deadass. But you gotta do what you gotta do, boo. Get your man back" I sighed and bit my bottom lip. We'll talk about it later.
I took my phone out my pocket and facetimed my mom. When her face popped up on my screen I smiled instantly.
"Hi mommy"
"Hi, onika. How are you?"
"I would lie if I said I was fine." I sighed and put my phone up against the sugar bowl on the table so I wouldn't have to hold it anymore.
"Talk to me, baby."
"Safaree is in love with me"
"Oh, baby. Everybody knows that" she chuckled.
"Yeah everybody except me and now I feel like crap for turning him down. He's not even talking to me, mom" I placed my head on my hand.
"Well you do know how stubborn you can be. Nicki you know in the back of your mind you have a special place in your heart for that big headed boy ever since you met him, you just haven't figured out how to push it to the front. That's how I was with your father at first, now look at us" she smiled like she was reminiscing.
"Why are you always right?" I made a stank face at her and she laughed.
"Well, ya know how I do" she popped her imaginary collar.
"Oh god, mom please"
Raygen came downstairs looking almost as cute as me. She came behind me and wrapped her arms around my neck and gasped when she seen my mom.
"Hi mama carol!"
"Hi, sweetie! How has my girl been?"
"Im fine, mama. Just living, ya know. I cant wait to see you guys!"
"We cant wait to see you either, baby just a few more weeks. Give roland a kiss for me I gotta go. Nicki, I love you. Call me later. Muah" she ended the call before I even got to say anything.
"Well okay then..."
"Rika do me a favor. Call safaree, then let me speak to him"
"Im not finna get in yall mess, Nicki" she threw me her phone.
"Now leave me the hell alone. Im tryna find a new design to add to YOUR collection"
"Collection?" Raygen asked.
"You know I appreciate you right? Raygen go make you something to eat, I'll be in the back" I walked Into the study and shut the door. I sat criss cross apple sauce on the leather couch and dialed his number. He picked up on the 4th ring.
"Waddup, sis?"
"Wow, safaree..."
"Nicki? The fuck you want girl"
"Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?! Im not one of your little hoes, safaree! Why are you treating me like this?!"
"Rejection fucks me up in more than one way, onika! This isn't the first time you have done this to me and I know it wont be the last. So I should move on right? Right. And that's what im gonna do. Im moving out"
"What? Safaree please just talk to me, I hate when you yell at me" my voice cracked. He sighed.
"Man, look. I'll see you at wayne's. If you wanna talk, that's what were gonna do." He hung up. I just threw the phone on the couch and let out a scream.
Roland POV
"Aye man, so I gotta tell you something" jaylen told me. After sipping some of my water I twisted the top back on already knowing what he was finna say.
"You dating my sister?" I asked looking straight ahead.
"Yeah. I really like her, ro. She's different from all these other chicks and after today I feel like she can trust me."
I grabbed the hem of his white beater and jerked him towards me.
"Hurt my little sister and imma fuck you up" I said looking into his eyes.
"Damn nigga, this is actually the first time I've been scared of you" he jerked me off of him and laughed.
"Im serious man. My lil sis is my world, she's all I got. Bitch ass pops done already got her fucked up in the head" I sighed.
"I promise to you. You my fucking brother, dude. I would never do anything to hurt my girl" I just nodded and looked straight ahead cuz I aint wanna get emotional.
"So I seen you and my sis talking the other day. You like her?" He asked opening a twix.
"Who ya sis?"
"So you telling me you aint know jada wilcox was my sister?"
"Oh shit... nigga I aint know her last name! But yeah she cute, im crushing."
"Mhmm that's what's up. Maybe can go on double dates and do all that other corny shit" we laughed.
"You know they gon' make us. But let's go get suited up for tonight. Last game baby!"
Safaree POV
I got out the car about to walk into this place im posed to be meeting draya at. Nicki really has some nerve asking me why im "treating" the way I am as if she didn't trigger this action. I love her so much but she really got me fucked up.
"Hello, safaree" draya hugged me.
"What's up" I sat down and folded my hands into my lap.
"Are you okay?" She asked me.
"Not really, but how have you been?"
"It's only been a couple hours, safaree" she laughed.
"I've tooken dalia to the doctor to get her nose wrapped up so she can cheer tonight"
"Oh cool" I said leaning back into my chair. I was so aggravated. My phone rang and I answered with out looking at it.
"Do you not love me anymore, safaree?" The person said. I just laughed. She must really be out of it.
"Of course I love you, Nicki. But you laughing in my face when I told you how I felt about you, hurt me to the core. It's like you dont care about my feelings" I ran my hand over my face.
"I care about you, faree. More than you think. Please just come home so we can talk about this I have something really important to tell you"
"She does, scaff!" I heard raygen yell in the background.
"Nicki im not gonna come home tonight but we can talk at the game, okay. I gotta go" I hung up not even realizing draya was still here.
"Nicki, huh? You have a girlfriend?" She asked.
"Not exactly but I have somewhere to be. I'll call you"
"Let's just ride together. Were going to the same place, right?" I sighed. I know nicki is gonna be pissed but it's my turn to get back at her.
"Yeah, let's be out"
Raygen POV
"Yall good now?" I asked Nicki.
"Well he's calmer than he was before so I guess that's a start. I just want my baby" she frowned.
"Oh so that's your baby now?"
"He always has been to be honest but im just now realizing it. This absurb" she said getting up to retrieve her keys.
"You better apologize when you see him, Nicki. He deserves it"
"Thanks for pointing that out, doctor phil" she rolled her eyes.
When we got to the game we parked and got out. We seen safaree get out the car with some chick. I stood close to her and grabbed her hand just in case she tried anything.
"Who is she, safaree?" Nicki asked eyeing the girl.
"Dalia's mom." I answered for both of them.
"Raygen" she said snobby. She must have known I beat her daughter's ass.
"Why are you here with her, scaff?" I asked him. He was looking down at the ground.
"I just met her today and she needed a ride"
"Bullshit!" Nicki yelled. Her breathing was hitched. She was just like me when she got mad.
"Count to ten, Nic. Just chill" I told her.
"You good?" Safaree reached out for her and she smacked his hand.
"Dont touch me, nigga. You sure as hell didn't care this morning so why care now? Im good" she flipped her hair over her shoulder and strutted away.
"You should take her back where she came from. Her daughter's nose is pretty fucked up I dont think she's gonna be cheering tonight" I rolled my eyes at safaree, gave draya a fake smile and followed behind Nicki. When we entered the gym the first face I was greeted with was daddy's. He was sitting right on the first row of bleachers with some lightskin lady. I grabbed nicki's hand quickly and squeezed it.
She looked at me with worry in her face then followed my gaze.
"Ray do you wanna go back to my place?"
"No but I do wanna know why he's here. I thought he was getting locked up"
"You haven't talked to the police yet, raygen. They know nothing about this shit remember?" She said getting pissed off.
"Okay okay let's just sit on the opposite side and try to avoid this whole situation" I said leading her.
"Raygen?" The pretty lightskin lady who was sitting next to daddy called my name.
"Um who are you?" I asked confused.
"Sweetie im your moth-" daddy nudged her.
"Friend. A friend of your father's. You are so pretty oh my god can I hug you?" she said getting teary eyed. I wrinkled my eyebrows at her and frowned. Am I that pretty to be getting emotional?
"Well thanks and hello to you too, miss but I really have to find a seat before they're all taken but it was nice to meet you. I dont know why you're here with this bastard though" before I could walk away daddy grabbed my arm. Nicki was already sitting down so I had no help.
"Let me go!" I tried to say as calm as possible.
"Look im still your father and you will respect me. I just want to apologize about what happened. I wasn't aware of what was happening and im sorry"
"Yeah you sound very freaking sincere. but that didn't give you the right to almost rape me. You coulda found a hoe on the corner, daddy. To tell me and my brother that we were a waste of sperm. Drunk or not, some father you are. You're never there for us so dont try to be now. We're moving in with Nicki" I snatched away from him.
"Joshua? You called my kids a waste of sperm and almost raped my daughter?! What is wrong with you! I guess you never really changed. You're still that nigga with issues" The lightskin lady slapped daddy.
"Wait im sorry what?" I asked. She looked at me and frowned.
"Nothing, sweetie. Forget I said anything. Im a therapist in training. Call me if you need anything. My name is ameena." she handed me a napkin with her number on it. Some therapist she is. She must not be very professional to be handing out napkins. Her name sounded very familiar tho. I kept repeating it over and over in my head. I watched her storm out and walked up the bleachers to where Nicki was sitting.
"Is it me or did that lady kind of resemble you?" She asked me. I just shrugged and sat down. She actually did.
-------------------------------------
Wayne POV
I sat in the studio waiting for Nicki to come down with her little minions. I really hope she isn't wasting my time. I texted my baby mama and told her I'll pick lil tuney up when I leave.
"Aye baby, when Nicki getting here?"
"Lil barbie said give her 5 minutes" he said. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. I got up to get it and in came nicki, raygen, roland and safaree.
"My babyyyyy!" Nicki hugged me.
"What's up, Nic? SB"
"What's good.." safaree sat in the lazy boy that was by the window and kept his gaze on his phone, which was kinda strange cuz he always kept his nose in the situation.
"Yo, wayne! It's a pleasure to meet you, bruh! You are raw as hell I been rocking witchu since ya dreads was neck braids!" Roland yelled in a high pitched voice. I laughed and dapped the little nigga up.
"Pleasure to meet you too, little man. I heard you got bars. Care to share em?"
"Fuh sho"
"And you must be raygen? You're a little cutie"
"She's 16, wayne" nicki said.
"Chill it was just a joke, Nic. Such a buzz kill"
"I'll be 17 in 2 months. Pleasure to meet you, weezy F baby" she winked and shook my hand. Lord.
"Im telling jaylen" roland said taking out his phone.
"What?! Chill, ro. You always gotta ruin something"
"Who's jaylen?" Nicki asked.
"Her boyfriend" roland said putting his phone away. He put his hair into a ponytail.
"The hell he aint" safaree said getting up to stretch. Everybody laughed except nicki and raygen.
"Alright I could care less. Let's get this show on the road" I clapped my hands together and walked to the back room.
Roland POV
I guess im going first because raygen looks shooks. But im cool.
"Come here, sis" I said.
"You got this. Just concentrate om them vocals and dont mess up. You can sing better than half the girls alone in this industry" I said hugging her and kissing her forehead.
"Thanks, bro. Good luck" she said. I smiled and wiped my hands on shirt cuz they were sweating. Before I walked back birdman gave me this ticket that said "survivor" and stuck it on my shirts.
"What's this for?" I asked.
"That's what you are for making it this far. A survivor" he swiped his hand across the sky.
"Thanks, man" I walked back to where wayne was and he did didn't look intimidating at all. He had his feet up on his deck, drinking an orange soda chilling.
"Okay little man. Show me what you got." Wayne said.
"You're gonna go in that booth there and record what you're gonna spit. I save all my audition tapes so wr can later on reminisce"
"Cool cool" I stepped into the booth and put the beats on. Thank God this glass is tinted. I rapped something heavy I wrote after my pops malested raygen. I found myself crying and quickly wiped my tears before walking out the booth. A nigga done cried more than a man is supposed to in less than a week.
"Wow. You wrote that?" Wayne asked.
"Y-yeah" I said.
"Calm down little man" he laughed.
"That was really deep and I would like to see more of you. You can add some new flavore to the team. Welcome to young money!" He got up and pulled the trigger on this gun and confetti came shooting out. "HYFR" blasted thru the speakers and in came grizz with his camera.
"Congratulations, dude! Any words for the camera?" I just stood there in shock.
"YOUNG MULAH BAYBEHHHHH!" I yelled and did rockstar symbols. I did a backflip and exited the room.
Raygen POV
Im not gonna be able to see roland when he comes out because there are a whole bunch of sections to this fancy ass studio. I was in the waiting room by myself. Nicki and safaree went somewhere that I dont know of. I just know they didn't go together.
"Come on back lil cutie" birdman said to me. He gave me a sticker that said "lil cutie" and placed it on my cheek.
"Thanks" I laughed.
"No doubt. Go on back" I walked back and there was wayne chilling, not looking professional at all. I let out the breath I was holding. Maybe he wont be too hard on me.
"Hey lil cutie. Nice to see you again"
"Same" I said looking around. He had pictures of all his artist around the room. I looked at Nicki's with her pink and black hair and chubby cheeks. Aww. I looked at drake and this nigga was cheesing from ear to ear. He still cute tho.
"So you're gonna go in this booth right here for me and sing your little heart out."
"Okay" I said not asking any questions. I just wanna get this over with.
I sung what I wrote after daddy malested me. I tried to add some jazz by hitting a few notes that I didn't think I could. I stayed in the booth for a few minutes thinking if I wanted to change and sing about something I wrote a few years back. But whatever it's cool. I wiped my tears and walked out. Im sick of crying. Wayne got up to greet me.
"What the fuck was that?" He asked me.
Nicki POV
"I know they're gonna make it. So, on saturday let's throw them a welcome party. Maybe at wayne's mansion?" I asked safaree. He still had his nose all up in his phone, laughing nshit. I guess he was texting his darkskin hoe.
"Safaree Lloyd samuels if you dont fucking look at me when im talking to you.." I semi yelled.
"Last time I checked you weren't my mother, onika" he looked up from his phone.
"I still want some fucking respect! Every time you get mad you shut out the world! I will throw you out on your ass so fucking fast.." I stopped before I said something I regret.
"You know what? You wanna talk? Let's talk, babygirl" he pulled the chair I was in towards him and placed his hands on my thighs. I froze up instantly.
"Talk to me"
"Look, I know I hurt your feelings and I feel so bad about it. At first I thought you saying you were in love with me was some type of joke because you were always like a brother to me. But safaree, now im realizing that IM in love with YOU. I have dozens of trust issues and you are like the only person who can push past them and make me talk about whatever im feeling. This day has been hell because you weren't showing me the attention I needed. Safaree, I love you. I love you so much" I was now crying. He smiled at me and wiped my tears with his thumbs. He pulled me into his lap and kissed my cheek.
"Wow, Nicki. Was that so hard? I have never felt so shut down by a woman before" he laughed.
"But you... you're different. I will never do anything to hurt you, Nicki. But im not perfect so if I happen to, I'll do everything In my power to get back Inside your heart. I'll give you my all in the bedroom and outside of it, girl. We can make this work. OTM and SLS" he smiled at me.
"I love you, safaree"
"I love you too, Onika. Now give me my lips girl" he said inching his face towards mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him with so much passion. The grip he had on my lower back made ne feel safe.
"I've missed these.." I whispered against his lips.
"They missed you more" he said biting my bottom lip. I grabbed the back of his head and slipped my tongue into his mouth, wrestling with it. I started grinding on his manhood and he broke the kiss.
"Woo, shit. Nicki we cant do this here"
"Why nottttt?" I whined. I tried to kiss him again but ended up kissing his ear because he move his head.
"Because I said so. Now get up and let's plan this party" he stood me up and slapped my ass.
Raygen POV
"You d-dont like it?" I asked shaking.
"What?! I loved it! Shit, girl you're better than shanelle!" He screamed. I laughed and wiped my tears.
"Oh my god! You scared me to death" I told him.
"Im sorry, lil cutie" he hugged me. He popped the trigger on some gun looking thing and confetti came out. A song he did with drake then came blasting through his speakers. Grizz came busting through a door that I didn't know was there and put his camera in my face.
"Congratulations, lil cutie! Any words for the camera?" Grizz asked hugging me from the side. I just sighed and smiled into the camera.
"God is good"
