Not giving up

Nicki had completely forgot that she invited over her mom and her little brother. Nicki slipped into her bedroom and locked the door.

Nicki: Drake.. you might have to leave.

Drake: Damn, we was having fun. But okay.

Drake got dressed and left. Nicki was mad that he had to leave at first but then it hit her. Maybe she was rushing things. How did she know Drake wasn’t just there for sex?

Carol: Onika! Come here.

Nicki walked out her room.

Nicki: Yes?

Carol: Where’s Safaree?

Nicki: He’s gone. We are over mom, I still want to be his friend but relationship wise we are DONE.

Carol: Oh Onika, come sit with me.

Nicki sat down with her mom and rested her head on her mom’s shoulder. Nicki’s tears flowed down her face. She really did love Safaree but their relationship was a mistake. Nicki sniffled.

Carol: Its going to be hard Onika, im not going to lie to you. But you’ll get through it. Just remember to love you’re self then every thing will fall into place.

Nicki loved her mom so much. She always made things better with her words, Nicki listened to her advice and kept it with her.

Nicki: Thank you mommy.

The next day her mom and Ciah had already left and she really wanted to finish what she had started with Drake. But she didn’t think she was ready at all. Her phone rang and it was Safaree. Nicki answered the phone.

Nicki: What?

SB: Nic, im sorry. I love you. Please forgive me.

Nicki: I do forgive you. I just can’t be with you anymore it’s best for us both.

SB: No! Its not! It’s because of Drake isn’t it?!

Nicki: NO! Its not! It’s because of you and me. Its not gonna work im sorry Faree.

SB: Bye.

Safaree hung up. Nicki sighed and headed out to her photo shoot for vogue. But someone was at her door stopping her from going anywhere. It was Drake.

Nicki: Drake? Um, hey.

Drake: Hey, can we talk?
Nicki: sure.

They sat down on the couch and Drake grabbed her hand.

Drake: Nicki, I have strong feelings for you. I love you a lot… always have. Im not kidding when I say it. You’re everything I look for in a woman. You’re hard working, beautiful, smart, funny, and caring. I really want to be with you and-

Nicki: Drake. Please… don’t lie to me. Are you just here for sex? Please be honest. I don’t want to be hurt again.

Drake: No! Im here for much more than sex!

Nicki shook her head and stood up. Nicki was feeling so confused. She didn’t know what to do, she couldn’t take all the emotion she was overwhelmed with.

Drake: NICKI! Are you hearing me here.

Nicki: Yes. I hear you. I just can’t believe it.

Drake: WHY?!
Nicki: I can’t. Im tired of love. Every time im the one getting hurt! Im not condoning that bullshit anymore! I can’t and won’t!

Drake loved Nicki. He really did. He knew it and Nicki knew it to, her guard was up, she couldn’t let it down.  Drake grabbed Nicki’s waist and kissed her passionately. He wasn’t going to let go or give up.
