Chapter 26 --> Choices We Make


Excuse any typos plz... 

Candi pulled on her t-shirt and went to get some cotton shorts from her drawer before she walked out to speak to him. He was sitting on her living room couch, a couch they had got nasty on so many times, waiting for her. He looked her over from head to toe as she walked in and sat on the couch with one leg folded under her. He looked over the huge red mark on her neck and shook his head and looked away. He wasn’t even sure how to feel about the whole situation. He knew one thing for sure he loved her but he didn’t wanna end up like him. It was a good 7 minutes of silence between them before she said something.
Candi: *sigh* babe look-
JB: She doesn’t have to stay in the room
Candi: umm she’s taking a shower.
JB: word... So y’all just fucked?
She looked down
Candi: Babe…
JB: what? You can at least be honest to my face Candice
Candi: you’re making it sound like I lied to you about her.
JB: I didn’t know about her! I didn’t even know you were into girls!
Candi: I didn’t tell you about her. YET! There’s a difference and you didn’t ask me.
JB: How serious is this thing between you too?
He asked not looking at her
Candi: I don’t know… *looks down again* It seems pretty serious at the moment. I’m not even into girls that much it’s just… With Tay it’s different
It got silent again and she sat watching his every action but he never looked across at her.
Candi: say something
She said softly. It had already been 20 minutes since they were sitting there.  Candi looked back when she heard her bedroom door open, Tay walked out clad only in a t-shirt that fell right below her butt.
Tay: hey she said as she passed them in the living room and made her way to the kitchen.
JB: She looks pretty young. Where’d y’all meet?
He asked in a low tone.
Candi: she… She’s Jhené’s sister
JB: Nicki’s friend Jhené?
Candi: yes
JB: *chuckles* why am I not fucking surprised
Candi: What’s that suppose to mean?
JB: Nothing!
He said getting up?
Candi: you’re leaving?
JB: don’t wanna keep you from your girlfriend.
Candi: Don’t even start
He turned around and looked at her
JB: what am I starting?
Candi: Bullshit Jus and you know it.
She semi yelled
JB: So you expect to just hang around while she’s here?
Candi: why not?
He laughed then looked at her again to see if she was really serious.
Candi:  you could at least talk to her, chill with us and get to know her
JB: Candi I’m not finna agree to this relationship if that’s what you’re hoping for. Safaree did and look what it got him! Niggas going around clowning him talking about how he lost Nicki to another woman because he couldn’t put it down in the bedroom. Nah I don’t play that shit! So here’s what I’ll do, I’ll give you a little space and time to play doll house with your girl. I’m flying back to New York on the weekend. I’ll call you before I leave.
He said then walked out.  She couldn’t hold the tears and they trickled down her cheeks. She got up and head to the bedroom. Tay had been listening to their whole conversation and when Candi got to the bedroom room she hurried out the door and down the steps to find him. She caught up with him as he was walking down the driveway. She called to him.
Tay: Hey!
He stopped looking back and she walked down to where he stood.
Tay: you know you ain’t gotta make this out to be such a bad thing
 He looked up shook his head and turned around walking off again.
Tay: you could benefit from this relationship if you wanted to.
He stopped again and turned around. She looked him over as she walked down to where he stood again.
JB: How old are you?
Tay: old enough. *smirks*
JB: *chuckles* Not like you could handle. Besides she ain’t never gon agree to that and honestly I’m not interested.
Tay: the lies *laughs* It’s EVERY man’s dream and by the way you’re looking at me I know damn well that you are interested. Save the games for someone who has time to play. Cause I don’t. You don’t wanna lose her do you?
JB: Is that a threat?
Tay: I don’t make threats. *smiles*
JB: You don’t know her very well do you?
She raised her brows and looked up with still smiling
Tay: or maybe I just know her better than you do.
He made to say something but bit his lip as she shook his head no instead. He got in his car and started the engine.
JB: go put some clothes on
Tay: knew you were looking she said with a smug little grin then turned and walked back to the apartment.
He shook his head realizing he was staring and drove off.

It was five days after Shaneeqa’s call that Nicki decided to return her call. She was home alone and had just finished talking to Jhené who was also home alone because her sister was at Candi’s. Sheaneeqa answered on the third ring
Neeqa: Hello
Nicki: hey. Just getting a chance to return your call, what’s up?
Neeqa: Just getting a chance or did she just tell you I called?
Nicki: What did you want Shaneeqa?
Neeqa: *sigh*… sis what’s going on with you?
Nicki: what do you mean?
Neeqa: You know exactly what I mean Nika. What happened to you and Safaree?
Nicki: Listen-
Neeqa: No you listen. My brother has loved you since the day you two just became friends. How are you just gonna walk out on this relationship after all you went through to be with him?
Nicki: He’s the one who walked out!
Neeqa: because you gave him a reason to!... How is he to feel knowing he lost his girlfriend to another woman?
Nicki: He agreed to my relationship with Jhené!
Neeqa: You are so selfish Onika. Are you even hearing yourself right now? That gave you no right to hurt him like you did! Did you stop and think maybe just maybe he agreed because he didn’t want to lose you?
Nicki: I’m selfish?!-
Neeqa: Yes you are!!
She cut her off before she could say another word
Neeqa: You’re not even trying to fight for him. How long do you think this little fling with you and this girl is gonna last?
Nicki: You are stepping way over your fucking line right now! That girl has a name and I’d appreciate it if you addressed her by it. What we have is not a fling I take my relationship very serious so watch your mouth! You keep talking about how Safaree feels and shit what about how I feel?
Neeqa: After what you pulled I wasn’t aware you had feelings left but how do you feel Onika?
She was quiet on the other end of the line.
Neeqa: *chuckles* but you know with all the bullshit you’re doing I know its one thing you can never deny and that’s that you love him.
Nicki: There are things I love about him. He’s my best friend he’s knows me better than I know myself… But I’m not in love with him.
Neeqa: Bullshit!!! Do you love her?
Nicki: Shaneeqa… *sigh*
Neeqa: right… Pussy that good huh?
She shot at her
Nicki: head game greater than you could image
Nicki shot back
Neeqa: You’re gonna be so fucking sorry
Nicki: you think you know me don’t you? Never that! Next time you call my phone and my girlfriend answers think twice about being rude!
Neeqa: Bye Nicki!
Nicki: Bye Bitch!
She said as she ended the call and tossed the phone on the bed. She was pissed. “How dare she? Who the fuck does she think she is?” She thought as she made her way to the bathroom. She turned the tap on to fill the tub and left it as she peed. She needed to do something to relax so she figured a hot bath might do the trick. She lit some scented candles around the tub as she waited for it to fill up.

** (2 wks and 4days gone)

Neeqa: May I asked you something?
She asked walk
SB: what?
Neeqa: Did you sleep with her?
SB: with whom?
Neeqa: don’t try me Safaree. The ho you were out with when you just got here? And is she the one you’re still seeing? Or is it another one?
SB: That really isn’t any of your business
Neeqa: you are going around sleeping with random bitches Safaree!!
SB: I was out with someone I know. That’s all you needa know about that.
Neeqa: Dumbass!! You’re both gonna regret this shit!
SB: Mind your business sis.
He said as he walked out the door.

She was at her apartment waiting for him to come over. Her cycle was six days late so she was a bit worried. That night when she saw him at the club and they had come back to her place, drank and had some crazy sex. She didn’t remember everything that had happened that night but there were bits and pieces that she did. She remembered quite clearly though waking up to go pee and seeing his naked body in the bed next to hers. She was pulled from her thoughts by a knock on her apartment door.
Shanell: coming!
She said as she got out of bed and went to let him in. He hugged her when she opened the door and kissed her forehead
SB: hey beautiful
Shanell: hey
She said in a low tone
SB: you ok babe?
Shanell: yeah just a bit tired…
SB: Did you eat? I brought you some fruits.
Shanell: *smiles* thank you baby.
She said as she took them from him. He closed the door as she walked into the kitchen to was and peel her fruits. She put some in a bowl to eat and the remainder in a small container in the fridge. She took her bowl of fruits and went to go sit by him on the couch. He wrapped his arm around her and she began eating. She sat trying to find the words to tell him she might be pregnant but she couldn’t find the courage.  She decided not to. She was going to get an at home pregnancy test and find out. “What if he doesn’t want a baby? What if he and Nicki are gonna get back together? I’m not ready for this! What if I tell him and he wants to keep this baby? Nicki already hates me! Hell she isn’t the only one. I can’t... It’s no way I’m keeping this baby. I can’t tell him. I-“
SB: Shanell… Shanell
Shanell: huh?
SB: are you sure you’re ok?
Shanell: yeah
SB: you didn’t hear a word I just said did you?
Shanell: I’m sorry. I’m just … I don’t know where my mind is.
SB: I was asking if you want to come with me. I’m going to pick something up by Vince’s place
Shanell: Umm ok. Lemme go change.

After going by Vince they made a couple more stops and she asked him to take her to the pharmacy.  She picked up 5 of the First Response Pregnancy Kits and took them to the cashier. Safaree was waiting for her by the car. Just when she was about to tell the cashier to hurry up Lauren walked up with some personal items of her own. She looked at the items the middle aged woman had scan for Shanell as she told her balance. She took the money out and handed it to the woman.
Lauren: You’re pregnant?!
The woman looked between the two as she placed the items in a bag. Lauren just stood looking at Shanell. The lady handed over her change and the bag. She said thank you with a small fake smile and turned to walk out. Lauren walked after her reaching out and grabbing her arm
Lauren: I asked you a question Shanell
Shanell: *sigh* How is that any of your business?
Lauren: Is it Safaree’s?
Shanell looked away
Lauren: OMG!! He hasn’t even been here a freaking month
Shanell: look I have to go
She turned to walk away and Lauren’s words stopped her
Lauren: does he know?
She turned around and looked at her
Shanell: what do you want from me?
Lauren: the truth.
Shanell: NO! He doesn’t know anything about this and I’d like to keep it that way until I know for myself!
Lauren: WOW!! You waste no time do you?
Shanell: look I’m really not up for an argument or a lecture from you right now so please… I have to go
Lauren: Give me your number
Shanell: is this a joke?
Lauren: do I look like I’m laughing
She gave her the number and she saved it in her phone.
Lauren: You better answer when I call
Shanell: whatever
She said and walked off. When she made it back to the car Safaree was standing talking to Vince who had been waiting on Lauren.
SB: Did you get what you wanted?
Shanell: yes
She said getting in the car and slamming the door.
Vince: Man you sure you not taking things too fast?
SB: I’m good man. I’ma take her home. We’ll talk.
He got in the driver’s seat and they drove off. As Vince was about to head to check on Lauren he saw her coming and the look on her face had him puzzled. How did she walk into the pharmacy and walked out pissed.
Vince: what happened?
Lauren: Shanell is pregnant
Was all she said and got in the car.

Nicki: Why did she go to Hawaii…….. Crazy ass bitch!! She really doesn’t want it with me…………… Look just get all the fucking information together and get it to me as soon as possible and don’t fuck this up or you’re both gonna end up missing or in fucking body bags!! Ugh!
She hung up.
Jhené: who are you threatening over the phone?
She asked curiously as she crawled back into bed.
Nicki: No one important.
She responded and pecked her lips. Jhené didn’t believe her but she let it go.
Jhené: ok you are getting too spoiled. We spend too much time in bed. Sooooo tomorrow you are going to the studio and I am going to work.
Nicki: how about you come to the studio with me?
She said and gave her her lil innocent face
Jhené: don’t try that face on me it’s not gon work today *smiles*
Nicki: but come on when’s the last time you went to the studio?
Jhené: It’s been a while but me going to the studio with you equals you being distracted so no. I’ll go next week. I’m good for now
Nicki: I won’t be dist-
Jhené: Yes you will *pecks lips*
Nicki folded her arms across her chest and pouted.
Jhené: Awwe *giggles* my baby has the cutest pout ever *kisses her cheeks and then starts to tickle her*
Nicki burst into a fit of laugher and they rolled around as she tried to get Jhené to stop. She begged and begged until finally telling her she was gon pee on herself. When she stopped Nicki laid eyes closed with a huge smile plastered on her face. Jhené knelt looking down at her. Nicki, eyes still closed and still smiling asked
Nicki: what?
Jhené: I’m just tryna take it all in
Nicki: pauz *giggles*to take what in *opens eyes*
Jhené: how absolutely beautiful and breath talking you are
Nicki closed her eyes again as her smile grew even wider and her cheeks went red. Jhené leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose before resting her forehead against hers. Her hair fell like a curtain around their heads.  She was silent for a moment before
Jhené: I love you Onika Maraj
Nicki opened her eyes and looked into hers. She ran her thumb across Jhené’s lips
Nicki I love you too baby
She closed her eyes and brought her lips to hers and kissed her.

  4. Yall needa get ya own opinions Everybody agreeing w/ Domo. Yeah alot of the characters seem to think that all their relationship is based on is sex, but there must be a reason why it's like that and why the story is headed in that direction. #LessonForTheStraights To be learnt. Positive the writer dsnt think like that. Cldnt possibly since she's A LESBIAN... But anyway. Tay needs to keep her lil ass quiet. There are several seats in a stadium to the left. Shanell and Safaree? errrrrrrrr Dont know how I feel about that... Just lemme see what's next and then you'll know how I really feel

  5. Ok first, I've said time and time again that I have no problem with Jhené, but ugh!!! I want Onikafaree back although that's probably not happening. At least not ANY time soon. Now to Safaree and Shanell. She BETTER not be pregnant by him. Foh. I bet you Nic will be pissed if she finds out tho. Shows she still cares. Somebody kick Shanell off the face of the Earth plz. Safaree is stupid btw. Like..GO FIGHT FOR YOUR WOMAN! Jeez. Oh and Tay needs to sit. We can't start this 3 way thing with them, too. I'm mad. -_-

  8. This was a lot for one chapter. I don't feel sorry for neither of them tbh. They both fucked up & now that Nicki made it very clear that she's not in love with Safaree I honestly think he should continue dating Shanell. Even tho I can't stand her. This is like the only story idc if OF exist again cuz I don't see it happening... At all. I really would love to see OF again tho :( . But whatever. & Nicki calling Safaree her best friend but haven't talked to him in weeks. Neither of them made that attempt smh. & I love Lauren , that's really my girl. She plays no games. Demanding and all aha. I really feel bad for Candi tho. I really don't want her and her boyfriend relationship to end up like Nicki & Safaree relationship. *sighs*

  9. & I can't believe how Nicki was talking to Neequa . Like she only been dating Jhené for months. Neequa was tryna get thru to her. And Neequa was wrong how she came at Nicki but still , she only did it becuz she care. I really can't believe Nicki .... Nor Safaree. & Shanell bet not be pregnant.

  10. All of you who are hating on Jhené are DUMB!! Who pushed to have this relationship with her? Nicki!! Who agreed to them having a threeway relationship? SB and Nicki!! And if said had said no yall no damn well Nicki would do everything to get her to agree. Can't blame her (Jhené) for falling in love!! How could she not I mean come on we're talking about ONIKA MARAJ here!! FFS get over yourselves. Like... Aren't yall glad it's something different?? There are a million and one Onikafaree stories. They all go the same direction they start as friend fall in love trouble in relationship get back together have kids story gets boring. Be glad for a change.

  11. I believe that this whole situation is Nicki's and Jhene's fault. I feel really bad for SB. So what if SB is going around fucking bitches Nicki already chosen who she wants to be with. Nicki is selfish A'F she doesn't worry about nobody else's feelings but hers. It's her fault why SB left. Jhene going around acting as if she really gives a fuck that Nicki didn't choose SB. SB makes one little mistake and she dumps him. Nicki kissed Jhene about three times when Nicki was in a relationship and he worked it out with her. Then she just take SB for granted like that! Hell no! Yes, SB did agree to the relationship but only because he doesn't want to lose Nicki. It's not fair that nicki be treating SB like a damn sex slave but then giving all the affection to Jhene. Then she got the nerve to say she's not in love with SB. WTF?! She a damn lie. She loves SB to death and when that relationship between Nicki And Jhene don't work out she gonna want SB to feel bad for her. One more thing, Nicki always turns the situation around to make her look like the good person when she's not. It's like she's wrong 55% and Jhene is 45%. Nicki needs to get her act together before she gets her feelings hurt.

  12. I need to know what Nic's thinking. I wanna know her true feelings about it. Cuz I know how stubborn she is. -@NickiDopeAF

  13. I usually don't comment but these comments got me feeling some sort of way. but anyway. I feel like Safaree can do what he wants because that's exactly what Nicki is doing. She even refers him as her bestfriend now like what kind of shit is that & SB has did all the fighting for Nicki he can do , somehow Nicki has to meet him half way. I like Jhene honestly she did nothing wrong cause at the end of the day Nicki and Safaree both decided to go along w/ this love triangle mess. SB knew what he was getting into when he agreed or even put the idea up for offer. Tay and Candi are cute but I don't need another love triangle. Candi needs to tell her bf whats really going on so they can have an understanding. I can't deal w/ Tay taking matters into her own hands. Ummm This Shanell being pregnant thing is gonna get EXTRA messy if she ends up being pregnant AND IDHTT for Nicki trying to hunt Leah down when she really don't even know whats going on. Overall this was a GOOD ASS chapter. I was over here spazzing but anywho. Update soon ^_^
