-MIAMI, FLORIDA-
Thursday 9:30am
"So, what do you want to do for your birthday?" He asked her as he lifted her out of the swing
"Buy a puppy! And Cake! And Ice creeeaam!" she replied
"A puppy?" he asked. "Well I'll have to find out about that one from mommy first but cake and ice cream sound great. What about a party?"
"No I don't want one. I just want a puppy" she replied as he strapped her into her booster seat.
He closed the door walked around to the driver's side, got in and started the car. Before driving off he dialed her number.
"Hey you two" a female voice rang
"mommyyyyy" she squealed from the back
"we just left the park, heading home for a bath and to start dinner until you get there" he said.
"awesome I'll get there in the next hour and a half. My last patient just left" she replied
"OK" he said and looked back to see an exhausted Tarah half asleep.
After pulling into the garage and getting out the car he went around and unbuttoned the belt of her booster seat
Tarah: we're home?
she asked in a sleepy voice
SB: yes we are sweetie, come on let's go in and have you take a bath before mommy gets home
Tarah: can I take a long bath?
SB: not very long
He said as they got inside her room. He put her down to stand and put her hair in a messy bun before filling the stub for her and putting all her favourite bath toys in. He helped her get undressed then lifted her into the tub.
SB: Not too long he said again before heading out.
"Uncle Fareeeeeeee" he heard her call as he took a bottle of water from the fridge. He had just stuck the macaroni and cheese in the oven and was getting a drink.
Tarah: unnnnccclllleeeeee Faaaaarrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee
She called even louder. He hurried up the stairs to check on her.
Tarah: you didn't check on me... You always check on me. What if something happened
she said pout and folding her arms
SB: I'm sorry baby girl. I didn't mean to not come and check on you.
He replied as he lifted her out of the tub with her towel wrapped around her
Tarah: you forgot me
SB: Noooo. I could never forget my princess?
He replied planting a kiss on her forehead
SB: Frozen pyjamas?
Tarah: uuhhhhh yes pleaaasssseeee.
He helped her get dressed then they both head to the living room. He turned on her favourite cartoon and went in to check on the food.
"I'm home" he heard a voice chime from the living room and surprisingly he didn't hear Tarah's usual squeals that she did whenever her mom got in in. A couple minutes later Kela walked into the kitchen.
Kela: Hey hun
She walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek
SB: she out?
Kela: yeah. Thank you so much for today *smiles*
SB: Anytime.
He took the mac and cheese out the oven, the chicken already done and on top the stove.
SB: you ready to eat
Kela gave him a half smile
Kela: I will be in a bit, first..
she said as she took his hand and lead him out to the back patio
Kela: tell me what's wrong
SB: what do you mean?
Kela: Safaree Lloyd don't play with me... Was Tarah any trouble? did she say something? ask you something?
he ran his hand over his face
SB: No she's never any trouble you know this
Kela: so talk to me. What going on in there?
She asked as she stepped a little closer and held the left side of his face. He pulled away and she sighed.
Kela: ok fine. Whenever you're ready to talk. I'm going to take Tarah up to her room.
She said before walking back inside. She took her daughter up and brought her up to her room, turned the lights out and left the door half open as she always did. She walked to her bedroom and then into her bathroom closing the door behind her. She sighed, slid out of her work clothes and stepped into the shower. He was in the hallway just outside her bedroom when he heard the shower start running. He turned around and made his way back down the stairs. He was watching a football game when she came back down the stairs, her hair wet from her shower and dressed in her robe, She made her way to the kitchen without saying a word to him and came back with a plate. She sat at the other end of the couch and began eating.
SB: Do you want me to change it?
Kela: *looks at him* Do I ever ask you to change it?
SB: No, But...
Kela: Ok.
She said cutting him off before he could finish.
5mins left in the game and she was having the last of her orange juice when a message came in on her phone. It was from her friend Shauntee. It was an image of a newspaper's lead story. Below the message said "I never really took Ms Minaj's relationship with this chick serious either but it appears the two are married, and to top it off expecting a child"
Then it hit her, and she looked across at him, his eyes focused on the TV but she new he wasn't really seeing the game
Kela: you saw the paper?
He didn't respond. Didn't even blink.
Kela: you know you say that you've accepted it and that you're over her but but every time you see these stories in these magazines or in the paper you get in your feelings. You are the same one who says never believe what you see in the media. Yet look at you now?
with that she got up, took her plate and glass up and went to the kitchen. When she came back he had the TV off his elbows on his knees and his head down
Kela: I'm going to bed. You know what to do on your way out. Good Night.
-MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT to Nicki's Miami Home-
Friday 11:45am
She was in her car but couldn't leave as quickly as she wanted to. The barbz had found she'd be there and caused chaos at the airport. It felt like there were equal amounts of reporters trying to get pics of her. She pulled her hair up into a messy bun and undid her coat.
Jhené: You ok?
She asked concerned because she was hastily trying to get out of her jacket
Jhené: turn a bit so I can help you
Nicki turned but didn't respond to whether or not she was ok
Jhené: Baby
Nicki: I'm fine babe
She replied in a soft tone with a half plastered fake smile on her face
Nicki: I just want to get home
The car finally felt like it was moving, barbz were still outside screaming for Nicki camera flashes going off but she paid no attention to any of it. She sighed, leaned her head back and closed her eyes. She really didn't look well. A couple minutes later she fell asleep. As soon as she did Jhené rang a friend of hers who was a doctor in Miami asking her to meet them at their Miami home. When they got to the house Jhené had one of the body guards bring her inside she was running a fever.
Her friend Victoria was there a few minutes after they got in to take as look at Nicki.
Victoria: Looks like she picked up a bug in Europe. Can't diagnose without tests to be sure but I can give her something for the fever
Jhené: Is tomorrow ok for the test?
She asked as they walked down the stairway.
Victoria: Tomorrow is fine
She said as she wrote on a small piece of paper and handed it to Jhené.
Victoria: This is for the fever, I'll call in a favour for you at the hospital's pharmacy just call and let me know who you're going have pick it up. It was really great seeing you Jhen. See you tomorrow.
Jhené: I will. It was great seeing you too Vicky. See you in the morning.
She watched as Victoria walked to her car then closed the door to head up to Nicki. She met her at the top of the stairs
Jhené: Hey what are you doing out of bed?
Nicki: need to eat and I was wondering where you were
Jhené: I walked Victoria to the door. She wants you to come in and do some tests tomorrow. Thinks you picked up a bug in Europe. Come on let's get you back to the room and I'll go down and get you something to eat
She helped her back into the bedroom and into bed before rushing down to get her fruits and juice.
Jhené: I'll run you a cold bath while you eat
...
After her bath she helped her back into bed. Candi had called to say she landed and would be there in a bit so she waited for her to arrive before heading out to get Nicki's meds. After her pickup at the phrmacy she headed to Lulu's on Biscayne Boulevard to pick up some ice cream for them. She was ordering when she heard a familiar voice behind her call to a little girl that ran right up to the counter beside her
"this one! I want this one and this one" she said in a very happy tone then looked up at Jhené
"hiiiiiii" she said smiling big "it's my birthday. I'm six"
Jhené: you are?
She asked with a smile
"uh huh! *giggles* and uncle Faree said I can have whatever flavor I want"
Jhené looked towards the direction the little girl pointed to see Safaree standing just looking at her
Server: Here you go ma'am
Jhené: Th-Thank you she stuttered
When she turned around the little girl was in the arms of a woman who looked to be her mother and Safaree was outside walking towards his car. She hurried out after him telling Tarah Happy Birthday on her way out and called to him as he walked off.
Jhené: Safaree!
He didn't respond
Jhené: Sa..
Here voice was interrupted by the sound off a desperate attempt to hold the brakes on a vehicle and he spun around.....
Because you deserve it. Will try to give you more tomorrow. *KISSES*
