Preparation

"Candi?! Thembi?! WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YALL?!"

They were on the floor rolling.

"Son. You.. you.. you shoulda seen your f-face" candi held her stomach.

"I should cut yall nipples off and make yall eat em. I was scared shitless! LITERALLY! How did you bitches even get in my house?"

"Your door down here was unlocked, you dumb bitch. And we seen these costumes in the closet when we was taking off our shoes, so we put em on" thembi said. Nicki got up off the couch and stood behind candi and thembi. She yanked their hair and banged their heads together. She laughed as they yelped in pain.

"That's for pulling my hair and making me shit on myself! This aint no cheap ass weave that you bitches be wearing. Yall yanked my shit hard! Now get yall shit and get the fuck out my house! Yall done pissed me off for the night"

Candi rubbed her head and smacked Nicki's butt before she walked away.

"Damn Nic. Stupid bitch! It wasn't that serious it was just a joke. Bout gave a bitch a concussion from thembi's heavy headed ass!"

"Fuck you, candi" thembi took her sock off and threw it at her.

"Bitch I shit on myself! IM A GROWN ASS WOMAN AND I SHITTED ON MYSELF SO TELL ME HOW IT ISN'T THAT SERIOUS?!" Nicki stomped up the stairs but stopped once she seen safaree.

"You aight?!?!?" He was outta breath.

"Im fine now, but I coulda been dead cuz it took you a year and half to get down here" she rolled her eyes.

"What you mean? What happened?"

"Look, man... ask them" she pointed down the steps to candi and thembi.

"Now move so I can take a shower please. Be ready in an hour cuz were going to the studio" she pushed pass him with a mug on her face. He stared at her butt for a few seconds then frowned.

"Nicki, why is there a big ass lump in your draws" he tried to keep himself from laughing.

"Stop looking at my ass all the damn time safaree, fuck you! Creep!" Nicki started taking her clothes off as she ran up the stairs.

Raygen POV

"1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8" i was in front of the gym showing the girls the new routine me and dalia came up with.

"No, becca. It goes like this" I got into stance.

"Step right, step left, toe touch! Toe touch! After the second toe touch you drop down into a split and throw your arms into a V" after I did the demonstration I heard the doors slam and seen ireland walk in with my brother's basketball team.

"Ayeeee can you do a split on the dick? Can you do a split on the dick?" She clapped and did a lil spin.

"Little girl sit down, you dont even have a dick" my girl jada butted in. She came and sat by me and started doing stretches.

"I dont believe I was talking to you tho"

"But I was talking to you" she gave her a stank, fake smile. I giggled

"Chill, jada. Ireland why are you even here? Your team is practicing in B gym" I sat in front of jada and pulled her arms towards me as far as they could go.

"Maybe I just wanted to come and be a perv" she licked her lips

"Listen. Ion need no shit, okay? We gotta practice this half show routine for the last game friday and we dont need no distractions, so can you please leave?" Jada then pulled my arms like I did hers.

"Yeah, imma go. Just know you will be mines one day" she turned to walk away.

"Good luck with that, honey"

"Girl, how do you put up with that? Bitches like her should be illegal" jada said.

"I dont even know jaeeeeee. I dont have a choice" I frowned.

"I mean, that could be a good thing though. You attract both sexes so you gotta be doing something right."

I giggled. "Yeah I guess you right. A bitch been working hard on this figure" I grabbed jada's hands and ran them over my boobs and down my sides. I watched her mouth drop.

"Baby if I had a dick it would be standing at full attention" jada confessed. I put my head down cracking up. She suddenly let me go as my brother walked over to us.

"What yall got going on over here?"

"Dont worry about it, stanky. Go throw ya lil ball" I stood up and pulled my shorts out my butt before walking away.

Roland POV

"So what's up? Im roland" I reached my hand out for her to touch. She smiled.

"I know who you are. Im jada" she shook my hand. I smirked.

"Jada huh? That's cute. You know no offense or anything but for a white girl, you got it going on" I looked her up and down. She put her hands on her hip and did a little spin for me.

"Im dominican, boo. But thanks. You're not so bad yourself. But shouldn't you be practing? Big game friday"

"Yeah I'll get back to the hoops as soon as I get your number" I looked her dead in her eyes and she blushed.

"Give me one good reason why I should give you my digits"

"Well, for starters. You're beautiful and I would love to get to know you" she twisted her lips and walked away. I thought I said the wrong thing before I seen her retrieve her phone from her bag.

"Put it in"

"Pauz.." we both laughed. I put my number in her phone. I took mine out my sock and gave it to her. She took a quick selfie and gave it back to me.

"Aye ro! Come on man!" Jaylen yelled.

"I'll be right there!"

"See you around, roland.." jada pushed my shoulder before walking away.

"Yeah..."my phone vibrated in my sock and I seen that a tweet notification from tunechi came to my phone, saying that he was in LA for the weekend. I wonder if I can finally get the chance to meet him while he here! I'll talk to Nicki bout it later. I put my phone back in my sock and amped up.

"Okay yall let's do this! We gotta win friday!"

Nicki POV

"I know wayne bu-"

"Yeah, yeah yeah I kn-"

"Wayne! Can you let me talk?" I sighed.

"Im listening"

"So while you here I was thinking you could meet these kids me and safaree found on youtube. They're really talented teenagers wayne and they're very sweet" I chewed on my bottom lip waiting for his answer.

"So you mean like... think about signing em to young money?"

"Well, yeah.. maybe you and baby can sit down and watch them while they do a lil audition."

"I dont know, Nic. I aint tryna have a bunch of teens with minimum talent on my label that dont know what they doing. I mean we got twist, chuckee, and reginae and they been on the right track LATELY. But you know when they slip and fuck up in school or something,  that shit falls back on me and how im mentoring my artists"

"I know wayne. The girl's name is raygen. She's a cute and sweet little ladybug and I think she'll get along great with reginae and them. Her voice is out of this world. Im gonna be mentoring her but I haven't told her yet. Ole boy's name is roland and he got a few barz. I dont know if safaree is up for mentoring him, we haven't talked about it. But do you think you'll be up for it? I dont know, just promise me you'll think about it"

"Hmm... okay yeah, Nic. I'll think about it. By the way you talk about them I can tell they got a little something going on and you never disappoint me. I'll tell you what, I got a show in san diego on friday but bring em by the studio and we'll see what they working with"

I screamed with excitement.

"Eekkk! Thank you thank you thank you, tune!!!"

"Damn Nic, dont be screaming in a nigga ear like that"

"Pauz" I laughed.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I dont care about none of that shit. But I got sound check I'll hit you up tomorrow or something"

"Alright baby and thank you for this opportunity"

"No doubt, Nic. I love you"

"Love YOU, wayne!"

I hung up the phone excited for this weekend's events. Dont really know how imma bite my tongue about this, but we'll see. I put my phone in my purse and began writing. I took a sip from my water and grabbed a handful of almonds. I hummed the beat of the track in my head that bobby v sent over called "sex in the lounge"

"Faree, come start it up for me. Imma go in the booth" I looked over at him and he had his headphones in. I picked a almond from the bowl and threw it at him. He took one of his ear plugs out.

"What's wrong with you? You never tune me out during a session" I frowned.

"Nothing im coo'. Just checking out this new joint kevin gates dropped. You need something?"

"Yeah, imma get in the booth now" I wrapped my blanket around my shoulders and stepped in the booth. I put my beats headphones on and gave safaree the okay. The beat blasted in my ear and I smiled. I love music. It keeps me sane.

"He addicted to hustle, im addicted to fame. Though he packing that muscle, im addicted to brain. Im addicted to chilling, make a hell of a killing. Dont I stunt on dese bitches? Man im bad as a villian. Get the gun imma hunt em. When im done imma done em. When we leaving the lounge, imma keep it a hunnit. It went down, nuff said. Pull off in that thanggg and it's blush red."

Safaree smiled at me as I walked out the booth. As I sat in the chair next to him.

"Yo, was you talkin' bout my aventador in the last verse?"

I took a piece of gum out my pocket and put it in my mouth.

"What makes you think that?"

"One thing for sure is that you barely even own anything that's red"

"Okay? And?" He couldn't see how I was looking because I had my shades on.

"Girl stop bullshitting and tell me"

"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. I do not know safaree" he dead faced me.

"Did you like it?"

"Yeah, it was dope. You gon' have the best verse as usual. Ion really like this song tho" he started messing with some things on the board.

"Why not?"

"Bobby v ass singing bout nonsense" he laughed. I stared at the side of his face. He had the cutest smile.

"Play it back for me" he did ass told and we bobbed our head along to the beat.

"I think imma put this one on my album, faree"

"That's wassup. You always go in the right direction"

"Thanks. Ready to go?" I watched as he got up without a word and started gathering my stuff and his. He walked out the door and I followed. As we got in the car my favorite song came on.

"Oooo, faree turn this up!!!"

"Man nicki this white ass song. Go on somewhere"

"Shut up! I would love to collab with her!" I twisted the knob and sung along to the music. I danced in my seat snd swung my hair around.

"Dancing in the mirror, singing in the shower! Lada dee! Lada dah! Lada dahhhhhhhhhhhhh! SINGING IN THE SHOWER!"

Safaree smacked his lips.

"You serious right now?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Josh POV

I couldn't tell my kids that I was going to meet up with their mother. Their emotions could go 3 ways: happy, angry or confused and I know for sure happy wasn't gonna be one of them. I turned into a burger king parking lot and parked. Out of all places she wanted to meet here? Confused isn't the word. Until I seen somebody approach me with a BK uniform on. She knocked on my window.

"Sir..?"

"Yes?"

"Miss ameena sent me out here to assure that you were her baby father" I laughed at her choice of words.

"Yes, that's me. But who is she to be barking orders at you. She couldn't walk out her to assure herself?"

"Well she's my manager. An no sir, she cant. She has this machine that connects to her nose that she has to walk around with, so she asked if I could come out here and that's what I did. Come in when you're ready" she turned to walk away.

"That's what I planned on doing" I unbuckled my seatbelt and followed her in. As I looked around the restaurant i walked over to the only table I seen a medical machine at.

"J-josh?" There sat this light skinned beauty that I once fell in love with years back. She stood up to greet me.

"Wowwwww long time no see, cracker barrel" that was the nickname she gave me. She laughed but it ended with a slight cough.

"Y-yeah I know" as we took a seat I studied her face. She was still as pretty as I remembered her. Beautiful smile. But she just looked a little.... worn out. I cleared my throat.

"So you work here at burger king?"

"Yeah. It's pretty embarrassing to be working here at my age but I never went to college to actually apply for a good job"

"maybe if you woulda stayed my wife you would have just as good of a job as me" is what I wanted to say.

"So.. you wanna hear about your kids? That's what we came here to talk about right?"

"Oh yes, t-them. How are they?" She played with her fingernails.

"They're greater than I thought they would be without you. Raygen.. she's such a daddy's girl and she has this beautiful voice. You know that Nicki Minaj girl rapper?"

"Yes what about her?"

"She came to my home today and told me she wanted to sign raygen and roland to her little label. I dont really know too much about it. But to tell you the truth, I dont want them to do it. I want them to focus on their last year of school."

"What? Joshua, that's great! You cant let a big opportunity like this pass them by. They would hate you forever. Yeah school is very important but they could always be home schooled if things get too risky for them"

"No. Absolutely not. I dont want my kids to think they're too good to be going to public school. That Nicki minaj character seems a bit immature for her age and that big headed boy she came with"

"Josh dont be ridiculous. I think Nicki is a great role model, I've done my research. She's a very elegant, lovely, inspiring young woman who has been through alot to get to where she is now. And if I cant get back into raygen's life, she's the best understudy" she held her chest while she coughed and hacked some stuff into a cup.

"Who are you to be telling me how to raise my kids?" I gave her the coldest stare.

"They're my kids too, josh.."

"THE HELL THEY ARE!" I slammed my fist on the table. People started to turn their attention toward us.

"Do you know how stressful it is for me to have this coaching job and be a single father?! Im not home 3/4ths of the week and I know my kids need me! So does my team! So dont give me no fucking lip about what you think is right for MY children! You didn't seem to give a fuck 17 years ago so dont start now!" I clenched my jaw and balled up my fist.

"Joshua please calm down." She touched my hand but i yanked it away.

"Im sorry for walking out the way I did but.. the cancer was too severe. I didn't want the children to see me that way.. and I still dont" she put her hand over her mouth as she let tears fall.

"So they went from 'your' children to 'the' children? You're pathetic." I got up from the table and exited the restaurant.

"Fuck!" I banged on my hands on the steering wheel. Let me find the nearest bar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raygen

*when a good girl gone, she gone foreva. See you cant make it rain without the stormy weather. And it's funny when it rains, when it rains it pours. Neva woulda happen if I woulda stayed in doors. Woulda neva happened if I neva traded in my text book. Cuz now im hot but all the critics say im just looks*

I reached around for my phone with my eyes still closed.

"Hello?" I said groggily.

"Raygen shanelle collins get your butt up!"

"Nic?" I looked over at the clock.

"It's 6:40 am I dont have to be up for school for another hour"

"Oh for real? Darn. Well aren't you excited for your second to last day of school?!"

"I probably would be more excited if I was still asleep. It's not that big of a deal"

"Come on, ray. Talk to me. I took a nap so im up early. Im bored"

"Nicki nooooo go wake up safaree" I whined.

"I tried but he wont budge. He's a deep sleeper" she sighed.

"Oh" was all I could say. I was dosing back off.

"Fine go back to sleep with your ugly self. I know you had a long day. Call me later. I miss you"

"K" I let the phone slide down my face as I drifted back to sleep.

*10 minutes later*

I heard my door open but I didn't feel like opening my eyes. It was probably roland coming in my bathroom to get some tissue. He always tends to blow it up around this time of the morning.

I squinted my eyes when I heard something fall off my dresser. I squinted my eyes to see daddy wobbling all over the place. He was taking off his belt.

"Daddy? You need something?" I rubbed my eyes and sat up a little in my bed. He took off his pants and sat on the side of my bed. He tried to yank my covers off but I pulled them back up.

"Stop it!"

"Come on, baby. Daddy just wants to play" his words slurred. He pulled my comforter down and slowly rubbed up and down my thighs. I had on nothing but some shorts and a white tank with no bra on. If he knew I got my nipples pierced he would kill me.

I shrugged him off and placed his hands back by his side.

"Daddy, you're drunk. Let's get you to bed. I'll bring you a glass of water and a couple Tylenol"

He roughly pushed me back on my bed and pinned my arms above my head hovering over me. He pulled up my shirt and some drool slid from his lips. He ran his thumb over my right nipple then suddenly stopped.

"So you got your nipples pierced, huh? You think you grown?"

"Daddy no, please stop! I'll take them out im sorry!"

"Too late! Since you think you grown imma treat you like you grown!" His took his peen out his boxers and rubbed it on my stomach. Tears rolled down my face as I tried to wiggle from his grasp.

"Get off of me!" I kneed him in his balls which caused him to buck forward. He bit my forhead and slapped me across my face.

"You fucking bitch!"

"ROLAND PLEASE! HELP ME! DADDY STOP YOU'RE HURTING ME!"

"That stupid ass brother of yours aint gonna do shit! Open your legs!" He tried to spread them open but I wouldn't budge. Since I cheered, my thigh muscles were no joke. He flipped me over sat on my butt. He pushed my head into my pillow with one hand and pulled my shorts down with the other. He slid his peen up and down my crack as I pleaded and cried for him to stop.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER" Roland busted through my door.

"Go back to bed you little bitch boy! This aint none of your concern"

"MAN" roland ran and punched daddy dead in his jaw. He fell off the bed and hit his head on the wall. Roland jerked his shirt and started punching him some more. I pulled up my shorts and grabbed some sweatpants and a hoodie out my closet. After I threw them on I tried to grab roland off of daddy.

"Ro please come on we have to go!" I pulled his shirt so hard that it ripped but he wouldn't budge. He grabbed daddy's neck and punched him 3 times in his nose. Blood trickled down his face.

"ROLAND!" He let him go.

"Both of you motherfuckers were a waist of sperm" he spit.

"So were you bitch!" Roland kicked him in his chin. His head flew back and hit the wall once again, knocking him unconscious.

"Oh my god, ro! Look what you did he could be dead" I cried hysterically seeing my daddy in this state.

"So! Fuck that nigga! Let's go!"

Roland POV

I grabbed some sweats and a hoodie from my room and threw them on. I grabbed raygen's hand and we walked down the stairs.

"Go get in the car ray" I threw her my keys but they dropped to the ground. She was staring at the wall, shaking uncontrollably.

"RAYGEN!" She jumped.

"Stop yelling at me! Shit" she picked up the keys and left out the door. I know she's hurting and scared but we have to get out this house. I grabbed 2 waters and honey buns. I walked out the house and slammed the door.

When I got in the car raygen was staring straight ahead still shaking.

"Ray give me your phone so I can call Nicki"

"I l-left it in the house. Please dont make me go back in there ro im so scared!" She pulled her knees up to her chest and cried. I rubbed her back.

"Dont worry I'll go get it. Just please stop crying, baby girl I hate when you do. I'll be right back" I ran in the house and grabbed her iphone and charger. I ran back to the car and searched her call log for Nicki's number.

Nicki POV

I was sitting in the tub taking a nice hot bubble bath when my phone rang. I grabbed it off the toilet seat and picked it up on the 4th ring.

"Raygen I told you to call me when you go to to lunch, not during class" I swirled the bubbles in the tub with my finger.

"N-N-Nicki it's roland"

"Oh hi babe. What's up?"

I heard heavy breathing and him telling raygen to calm down. I grabbed my towel off my granite sink and wrapped it around my body. I walked into my room and sat on my bed.

"Roland I need you to talk to me, okay? What's wrong?"

"He tried to r-rape her"

"Who tried to rape who?! Tell me what happened!" I pick out a thong set and slipped it on. I put on a pair of jeans and a elmo shirt.

"If I talk about it I feel like imma break down. I swear to God imma kill that nigga for touching my sister!"

"Okay baby calm down for me. Breathe. Where are you?"

"I dont know just driving... ray please stop crying, man! Sit back and put ya seatbelt on!"

"Roland listen to me. She's gonna cry because she's in a traumatized state. Dont yell at her. If anything try to calm her down but you shouldn't be driving right now. I need you to look at your surroundings and tell me where you are"

"We just hit malibu..." he sniffed.

"Really? Okay that's great I live in malibu. What do you see?" I grabbed my red toms out my closet and walked downstairs.

"Uhh.. I see a mall, a QT, food lion, and a sign for the nearest beach"

"Alright I know exactly where you are! Pull in to that QT and wait for me to get there. Lock your doors and try to comfort your sister the best you can, okay? Do you need me to stay on the phone?"

"Okay and no her phone is gonna die any minute now. Im scared, Nic. But dont tell nobody I said that I gotta rep to protect." I could tell he was crying because his voice was a little shaky. I let out a light laugh.

"Dont worry babe, I wont. I'll be there in 10 minutes" I hung up and set my phone on the island. I rubbed my temples and leaned up against it.

"Safaree!"

He came jogging upstairs with no shirt on and his pants hanging half off his ass.

"What?"

"Okay, first of all. Why are your pants hanging half way off your ass.."

"Cuz I was taking a shit, that's why" he pulled up his pants and buckled his Michael kors belt.

"Anyway something happened with raygen and roland. They're at the gas station down the road we need to go get them"

"Them lil niggas drove an hour to malibu for what? What happened?"

"I dont know but im gonna find out. You coming or not?" I grabbed my keys out the fruit bowl heading for the front door, not really waiting for his answer.

"Wait Nic, my butt stank! I need to wash!"

"Take a shower when we get back, shitty! I need your help. Put on a shirt and let's go"

Roland POV

"Ray?"

"Hm?" She wiped her tears and looked at me.

"You okay?"

"Not really, but im still alive and a virgin so I guess im good. I cant believe he would go as far as raping me tho" more tears poured from her eyes. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my chest. She sobbed into my shirt and I rubbed her back.

"I promise I'll kill that nigga. I shoulda did it when I had the chance"

"No, ro! You know how long you would have been put away for murder? I cant have that, I need you bro! He's not even worth it. Im glad you beat him as bad as you did"

"But he put his slimy lil meat on you, bruh. Now you finna be traumatized for life" I let a few tears fall. I hate to see my sis in pain. She looked up at me and frowned.

"Why are you crying baby boy?" She pulled her sleeve down some from her hoodie and wiped my face.

"Because I hate seeing you cry nshit. You my other half, man I dont like seeing you in pain"

She laughed a little bit.

"But you saved me, ro. You're my hero. You stopped him before he could go any further and I thank you so much for that."

"You aint gotta thank me. It's my job to protect you" I kissed her forhead and hugged her.

"I love you, roland."

"I love you too, raygen. I got you."

Raygen POV

I love my brother. He's all I got. I seen Nicki and safaree pull up to the pump in front of us. I lifted off of ro and sat back in my seat and sighed.

"Watch she finna go ham with her sensitive ass"

"Right" roland laughed.

"Oh my god, my babies! Come on let's get you in my car" she opened my door and help me out.

"Wait, hold up. I cant just leave my car here"

"You gotta point. Safaree, ride to the house with roland"

"Aight" safaree helped me in Nicki's passenger seat and kissed my forehead before he closed my door. We pulled off and Nicki grabbed my hand that rested in my lap.

"You wanna talk about it?"

"Not really but I guess I will" I sighed. I told her everything starting from after we got off the phone. When I was done we were both in tears.

"Im so sorry that had to happen to you, babe. This feels like deja vu" we came to a stop light and nicki went into a trance. I reached over and wiped her tears.

"But, hey..... im okay right? Besides this bruise on my cheek im fine, Nic. Please stop crying im okay"

"I know, ray. But you'll have to live with this terrible memory for the rest of your life. Im still not over it..." she chewed on her bottom lip as the light turned green.

"So where is he now?"

"I dont know. Ro beat him up pretty bad. He banged his head on the wall so we left him unconscious"

"Damn. Lil ro knocking niggas out now? I knew he was hard but I aint know he was that hard"

"Pauz" I said. She dead faced me.

"are you gonna press charges?"

"Can we talk about this later please? I have a headache and I just wanna lay down" I whined.

"Sure. But were gonna gave to talk about this sooner or later" we pulled into her driveway and my mouth dropped. When we entered her house it dropped even further.

"Your house is like a freaking mall compared to ours!"

"Eh. It's not all that" she shrugged. There was this mat by the door that she placed her shoes on so me and ro did the same. She put her arms around our shoulders and we sat down on her couch.

"So, my babies. I take it as tho you dont wanna go to school today?" We both shook our head no.

"Good cuz I wasn't gonna let you go anyway. You guys can stay with me now, as long as you want. This is a 8 bedroom house so pick any room you want. I will assure you guys that as long as you're here, me and safaree will never let anything happen to you"

"Thanks, Nic" roland rubbed his temples. she kissed both of our foreheads before getting up to go sit by safaree.

"So yall friends now?" I smiled. I just want them to be together already they're adorable.

"Nah. Me and this ugly boy will never be cool" Nicki laughed. Safaree threw one of the starburst he was eating at her head.

"Nigga, throw another piece of candy at me and see what happens!"

"Is that a threat, shrimp?" Before any of us knew it Nicki's little ass jumped on safaree.

"What I tell you about calling me that, tank?!"

"Who the hell is tank Nicki?!"

"Tank.. as in tank head!" she started dying laughing at her corny joke. I looked at roland and shook my head.

"Get off me, woman!" Safaree tried to get Nicki off of him but he ended up tipping their chair resulting in them falling back. I hit roland's chest and died laughing.

"Can yall stop being childish? Where the kitchen at a nigga hungry" roland got up to explore.

"Ewwww safaree I forgot you had cooties! Yall safaree took a doo doo before we left the house and he didn't take a shower!" Nicki got up off safaree and tried to run away but he caught her ankle and she fell forward.

"Dont be putting my business out like that, what's wrong with you?! Now im bout to sit on ya head!"

Nicki shrieked.

"SB I'll make this your last day living, I swear to god! Try me if you want to!"

"Nickiiii my face hurts. I need an ice pack" I frowned holding my face.

"See. Get off of me safaree I have to get my baby some ice" safaree started tickling Nicki while she gasped for her.

"Apologize for saying I have a shitty ass!"

"It's t-true but okay im s-s-sorryyyy! Stop im gonna pee!" Safaree got up off of her an returned to his seat. Nicki stayed on the floor for a few seconds before looking at me and roland.

"Aye Nic, you think I'll get to meet wayne while he's here?"

"How do you know he's in cali?"

"I have his tweets come to my phone"

"Well actually babe you will be meeting him friday" nicki smiled. I watched roland's eyes go big.

"STOP PLAYING! HOW?!"

"Yeah, how?!" I cosigned.

"Wellllll.." nicki came and plopped in between us on the couch.

"I think you guys have true gifts and I want the world to witness them. How would yall feel about auditioning to be in young money?" We both went silent. I looked over at safaree, then at nicki, then at roland. Our smiles rose at the same time. I didn't say anything I just jumped up on nicki's couch.

"THAT WOULD BE FUCKING AWESOME!"

"Little girl if you dont get down off my couch!" I plopped down and laughed. Me and roland placed kisses all over her face.

"Eww yall, get offffff"

"Thank you so much, Nicki!" Roland moon walked over to SB and took his hat off his head and placed it on his. I hugged Nicki from her side and layed my head on her boob, trying to process everything that's going on.

"Uhhh Nic... this is great news and all but my face still stings"

She placed her hand on my cheek and frowned.

"Well come on let's go get you an ice pack and I'll show you to a room if you wanna lay down" I followed her into the kitchen and sat at the island while I watched her make a homemade ice pack.

She came and sat by me. She held the ice pack on my cheek for me and looked into my eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"You kind of remind me of my younger self" she giggled. I just smiled and touched her hand that was on my cheek. When roland and safaree came into the kitchen she moved her hand and walked away.

"Yall gonna come watch me play tomorrow?" Roland grabbed a orange out the fruit bowl and played with it.

"Sure why not. But if you lose imma embarrass ya little ass on that court" safaree said.

My phone vibrated.

Dalia: why aren't you in class?
Raygen: we'll talk about it later.

I put my phone on the table and closed my eyes, not even realizing I was falling asleep. Suddenly I felt myself being lifted in the air.

"Let's get you to bed, baby girl" safaree carried me uo the stairs like I was a baby being rocked in his arms.

"Im not a baby ya know.." I yawned.

"Yeah but you built like one, nugget"

"Heyyyy... that's not nice scaff" I frowned.

He opened the room door with his foot. He tucked me in and kissed my cheek before he left. I fell fast asleep.
