Chapter 22 --> Stalker

When she walked into the room he was on the phone. His back was towards the door so he didn’t notice her.

SB: I’m not giving you her number you said you wouldn’t do this…… yeah and?.....She’s fine I told you that nothing has changed…..then why do you need it so badly?..... I’m sorry but you’re not gonna get it from me… Look I have to go

Nicki: who was that?

She asked startling him.

Nicki: you sounded pretty upset

SB: No one… Important

She raised her brows at him

Nicki: Ima ask you that again, who was that?

He sighed before answering her

SB: it was Leah

Nicki: What’d she want?

He didn’t respond

Nicki: I see your slow and your stupid are on high today. What… Did... She...Want?!

SB: A number for-

Nicki why the fuck does she want Jhené’s number? She changed it for a reason

SB: I never said-

Nicki: don’t talk to me like I’m stupid

She said cutting him off again

SB: she said she just wants to know how she is, to say hi

Nicki: she’s fine did you think to tell her that? And since we’re on the topic of Miss Leah I’d like to know what kind of business she was helping you with in Miami?  Oh and you can tell me why, since you’re talking to her for “business”, she is calling your personal number? Why does she even have that number?

SB: Nic can we not do this right now please?

Nicki: oh?! No Safaree! We are gonna do it right the fuck now!

He started to walk away

Nicki: you think I’m playing don’t you?

SB: look-

Nicki: no you look. Be very careful of the answers you give me when I’m done with what I’m saying right now cause saying the wrong shit gon get you fucked up! Play with me!

**MEANWHILE** (lmaoooo @ y’all cursing me out for stopping it right there)

“Baby, hey I’m back in town. Can you text me back when you see this please”

“Babe come on. It’s me Leah. Text me back”

Her phone began to ring.

“Jhenny, baby answer your phone”

“Look Safaree told me you were ok. I just wanna hear your voice, hear it from you”

Her phone rang again.

“Can you please just answer one of my phone calls? Please, I just wanna know how you’re doing”

“*sigh* Jhen, I know you see my messages”

“Baby look, I’m going to be honest. I miss you. I just want to hear your voice”

“Why are you ignoring me?L”

“Jhen, I’m sorry I cheated on you, I’m sorry I hit you, I’m sorry… about the baby :’(. I just wanna make things right between us. Forgive me please. Just give us one more chance”

“Baby, please. I’ll do anything to get you back!”

“Amber isn’t half the woman you were to me baby. I’m sorry”

 She sighed as her phone began to ring again.  She couldn’t take it anymore so she turned it off. She lay there thinking how did she get my number? About the baby, how could she even ask for a second chance? She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Lauren calling her name

Lauren: Jhené… Jhené!

Jhené: hmm

Lauren: are you ok?

Jhené: yeah ok just not feeling well

Lauren: what?

Jhené: sorry I mean…I’m gonna go lay down

TT, Lauren, Candi and Terrence all looked at each other as she got up. When she got to her room she slowly climbed into the bed, lay on her back and put her hand over her eyes. She felt like she was about to have the worst headache ever.  A few minutes after, she heard a light knock on the door.

Jhené: who is it?

She asked in a soft tone, but loud enough for the person on the other side to hear

Lauren: It’s me. May I

Jhené: yeah sure

Lauren walked in and closed the door behind her.

Lauren: you’re ok but you’re not feeling well? Come on, talk to me. What’s up?

Jhené: I really don’t feel like talking about this right now

Lauren: sounds like something Nika would say, *walks over to window and folds arms* only I never listen when she does. Same goes for you. So what’s really up?

Jhené: have you ever finally got over something or someone and they just pop back up?

Lauren: yeah. Does this have something to do with Leah?

She sat up in the bed looking at Lauren

Jhené: What do you know about my ex?

Lauren: Safaree ran into her in Miami. He said she helped him out with some business but he wouldn’t say what.

Jhené: He wouldn’t. No. He knows. He wouldn’t.

Lauren: wouldn’t what? What does he know?

Before she could answer Tay came bursting through the bedroom door looking as angry as ever.

Tay: why the fuck does this bitch have my number?

Jhené: Tayihé Okole, watch your mouth! Who are you talking about?

Tay: Leah! How the- How she get my number?

Jhené: she called you?

Jhené asked with raised eyebrows.

Tay: this b- *takes deep breath* She sent me ten text messages. “Where’s your sister?”, “why isn’t she answering my calls?”, “Why won’t she text me back?”, “Can you please tell her to call me”, “Tayihé are you there?”, “Why are you guys ignoring me?”, “I just wanna know how she is”, “Lil girl I know you see my messages” then she drops the “*sigh* ok fine just tell her I love her please” oh, oh, oh then she drops the bomb “how long will y'all be at the cabin?” the fuck? The actual fuck?? How does she know where we are?

Jhené: what?!

Tay: If she ever knew how much I’m itching to finish what I started in your hospital room

Jhené: Tay… *sigh*… Where’s Safaree

She asked in a sad voice

Lauren: he’s with Nicki.

Jhené: ok…

She turned and walked over to the big glass window.

Jhené: Can you guys please…

Her voice cracked and a tear ran down her cheek as she stood looking out at the lake.

Tay: Jhen-

Jhené: *wipes cheek* Tay just go with Lauren please.

**

Nicki walked into the Kitchen to see Lauren, Candi, TT and Terrence talking with MJ sitting on the counter in front of them. They stopped once they saw her.

Nicki: why y'all look so suspicious

Terrence: girl bye! Why you look so angry? Ain't nobody in here looking suspicious.

Nicki: Terrence shut the hell up. Where is my baby?

Candi: which one?

Nicki: the one I left with y’all. *shakes head* you were suppose to keep her company

Lauren: In her room

Candi: How much we getting paid to entertain?

Nicki threw a grape at her but it hit MJ in the head instead. He whipped his head around and looked at her then looked for the grape

Nicki: *giggles* I’m sorry auntie’s baby

TT mean mugged her as she threw the grape in the trash

Nicki: Candi shouldn’t you be somewhere getting your cuka licked?? Speaking of, where is that smart mouth…. One

She finished as Tay walked into the kitchen, over to the fridge, took out a bottle of Dasani and walked back out

Terrence: here we go

He said getting up as Candi did

Candi: I’ll be back

She said as she head for her room

Nicki: what’s up with them?

Lauren: Where’s Safaree?

Nicki rolled her eyes

**

Candi walked into her bedroom to hear Tay on the phone cursing someone out

Tay: Bitch you got lucky security pulled you out my sister’s room you won’t be so lucky the next time!! Stop calling me! Stop calling my sister and you stay the fuck away from Nicki. I don’t know what you and Safaree have going on but that shit gon get cut short. Don’t fucking play with me!!

She hung up

Tay: uuuuuuuuughhh!!!!!!!!!

Candi: whoa! What was that about?

Tay: Bitch fixin to lose her life...

Tay said walking over and hugging Candi

 Candi: That was Leah wasn’t it?

Tay: Lauren told you?

Candi: yeah she did

Tay: I just… God! I don’t even wanna think about her right now.

Candi: Then don’t. I doubt she’ll do anything crazy

Tay: she already has

Candi: what do you mean?

Tay: she was up here. She told me.

Candi: she’s probably lying

Tay: Did TT walk MJ down to the lake earlier?

Candi: yeah

Tay: She was watching them.

Candi: what?

Tay scrolled through her phone and found the picture Leah had sent her of Tyesha pointing to the boat she was trying to get MJ to look at. The picture seemed to have been taken from inside a vehicle.

Candi: Oh My God! Nicki has to know about this

Tay: not yet and don’t tell Jhen either please I don’t want to make this trip any worst.

Candi: but-

Tay: Trust me.

She said then slowly walked over to the bed pulling Candi onto her lap and kissing her neck

Tay: I’ll take care of Leah

Candi: Tay... Mmm

She couldn’t finish her sentence as Tay sucked on her neck. She turned around and straddled her lap kissing her. Tay snapped a picture.

Candi: *giggles* what are you doing?

Tay: care to spill some tea?

Candi raised her eyebrow as she looked at her

Tay: they’ve been asking… Only if you don’t mind

Candi: … aight

Tay tweeted the picture

@HawaiiBarb_T: @Candi_2 #Oop baby I spilt our Lipton pi.twitter.com/lc2ssv8c

Then she went back to kissing Candi. Her phone was buzzing like crazy. The barbz were sassing and cussing her out in her mentions no doubt. She laid back, Candi on top kissing her. Then she stopped.

Candi: Shit!

She said with her head in Tay’s neck

Tay: what’s wrong?

Candi: I didn’t tell him. He’s gonna see the picture

**

When Safaree knocked on the door he didn’t get an answer. He opened it and peeked inside she was sitting on the bed, her legs crossed beneath her looking out the windows. He walked over to her a brown envelope in his hand

SB: I have some explaining to do

She looked at him

SB: firstly, I got this for you. She didn’t tell me what it was and honestly I wasn’t sure if I should give you and that is why I kept it.

Jhené: what is that?

She asked her voice hoarse.

SB: She said it’s something you would want

He said handing it to her

SB: look she told me she wouldn’t do anything like this. I know I was stupid to believe her but I thought since she had Amber maybe she was being straight with me. She asked me for you number I didn’t give it to her. She claims-

Jhené: she already has it

SB: has what?

Jhené: she has my number and Tay’s. She even knows where we are.

SB: what?! Look I promise I’ll take care of it. She won’t hurt you again.

Jhené just smiled and shook her head. She ripped the large envelope open and pulled out a black and white picture. Tears ran down her cheek. He sat beside her on the bed and pulled her into a hug as he slowly pulled the small piece of paper from her hand

SB: I’m sorry

He said as she cried silently into his chest. After a moment he pulled her away and wiped her tears with his thumb. Now he regretted giving her that envelope. He was looking at her as he looked back at him eyes blurry with tears and before he knew it his lips were on hers.  She pushed him away and scooted away from him on the bed, her hand on her lips

Jhené: Leave!

SB: Jhené I’m so-

Jhené: GO!

He got up and turned to walk out only to see Nicki standing in the doorway, he couldn’t read the expression on her face.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID 

Chapter 21 -> Consent Pt 2

Ummm yeah :) Enjoy

He took the phone off speaker as she made her way over to the garbage dumping the whole plate in the bin instead of just scraping the remainder of the food off.

SB: Leah we spoke about that! *sigh* lemme call you back

She was half way up the stairs when he took the first step.

SB: Nicki

He called to her but she didn’t acknowledge him. He went up after her catching up to her by a wooden statue that stood in the hallway. He reached out for her waist and she slapped his hand away then turned around to him

Nicki: don’t you fucking touch me

She said in a low but very angry tone

SB: will you at least let me explain

Nicki: FUCK YOUR EXPLANATION!! Fucking liar!

SB: I didn’t lie to you

Nicki: so what you running a fucking strip club or something in Miami cause that’s the only way I could understand that bitch being a business trip.

SB: why you gotta assu-

Nicki: save it Safaree. I don’t wanna hear shit you have to say right now.

She slammed the bedroom door after walking in and head to the bathroom. He shook his head and head down the stairs. He grabbed his keys and jacket and selected the green button to send the call after closing the front door.

Leah: Hello

SB: Yo what the fuck Leah?! We spoke about this you calling me “babe” issue

Leah: I’m sorry!! Bad habits are hard to break.

SB: yeah well your sorry isn’t helping me outa the shit I’m in right now.

Leah: oh my God! What happened? Did your girlfriend over hear?

SB: and she’s not fucking pleased about it

Leah: Safaree I’m so sorry! Look I’ll talk to her explain everything if you need me to

SB: trust me the last thing you want to do is try explaining this to Nicki. Matter of fact with you being who you are you don’t wanna talk to her at all

Leah: But…

SB: Look its cool I’ll work it out somehow

Leah: *sigh* if there’s anything I can do please let me know and if It’s too much trouble we can get a cab instead of you coming to get us.

SB: Nah, it’s cool I’m already half way there anyway. Just another 20 minutes.

Leah: Ok. See you in a few.

*******

Jhené: why do you sound so upset?

Nicki: I don’t even wanna get into that right now just know Ima fuck Safaree up.  You ok? I miss you.

Jhené: Miss you too baby cakes. Just spoke to Tay says she’s coming back by you tomorrow and she loves you.

Nicki: love her too. Ooh I have plans for us for next weekend and you get your chance to speak with Can

Jhené: what you got in mind?

Nicki: you’ll see when we get there. Just make sure you pack enough for Friday to Monday even though I wouldn’t mind you walking around all weekend naked. Can’t have them other’s seeing all that I got to myself though

They both giggled.

Jhené: *yawns* could always just walk around your room naked for you

Nicki: mmm that’s a good idea *smiles*. You sound tired

Jhené: I am and I got a be up and out by 7:30 so get to my meeting for 8

Nicki: wish you were here to cuddle

Jhené: me too but you have Faree

Nicki: I don’t want him beside me right now *pouts*

Jhené: I know you’re over there pouting stop and go talk to him it’s probably not as bad as your making it

Nicki: so you’re taking his side?

Jhené: you know I’m not. I’m just, being fare. Talk to him ok. Mwuuah!! Sleep tight and I’ll see you tomorrow

Nicki: *sigh* night hun *sad face*

She hung up and turned onto her side pulling her blanket up

Nicki: fuck him and his cuddling tonight

*******

She was looking over the image of the cabin from the link Martin had sent her, when the front door opened and he walked in. She had seen his car out front earlier with him sleeping in the driver’s seat.

SB: Good morning

He said but she didn’t say it back. She was dressed for the day, waiting on Terrence and Lauren to do her hair and make-up no doubt. It was early for her meetings. He went up and showered then got dressed. When he came back down Terrence was fixing his the last of his curls and Lauren looking over her face.

Lauren: Damn… can I kiss you right now?

They all laughed. He stood looking, admiring her beauty when her eyes met his and her smile immediately turned into a scowl as she looked away. He shook his head and walked to the kitchen.

Lauren: Nicki, is there something going on between you and Safaree?

Nicki: I don’t know maybe you should ask the bitch calling him babe on his phone

She said while shutting down her mac book. Terrence and Lauren looked at each other wide eyed

Lauren: I know this nigga aint stupid

She said as she walked off to find him in the kitchen. He was eating a sandwich and drinking coffee

Lauren: you know I refuse to believe what mind is telling me so Ima give you a chance to explain. Who is she?

She said in a stern voice. He took the last bite of his sandwich, chewed, swallowed then drank the last of his coffee and placed the cup in the dish washer

Lauren: I’m waiting

SB: waiting for what?

Lauren: don’t act stupid right now your situation does not grant you that right. Who the fuck is she?

SB: why don’t you just go ahead and make an assumption like she did

Lauren: oh so you want me to put my foot down your throat? Cause that’s what my fucking assumption is going to be that your need some sense knocked the fuck into you

He looked at her and shook his head

SB: she’s a friend that’s all. I ran into her in Miami and she helped me sort out a few things because she knew a few people.

Lauren: helped you sort out what kind of things?

SB: why am I even explaining this to you?

Lauren: Because she doesn’t want anything to do with you right now and someone needs to tell her exactly what went down before this situation gets out of hand.

He shook his head

SB: She helped me with a few things which I’d rather not discuss right now. But it was nothing sexual. She has a girl she’s never had a dick and she’s not interested in one except maybe if it was plastic. So no I was not cheating on her.

Lauren: *sigh* then why was she calling you babe Safaree?

SB: She calls everyone babe. She’d call you babe, she’d called Terrence babe there’s nothing more to it

Lauren: is she someone you knew before?

SB: yeah she’s Jhené’s ex

Lauren looked at him crazy

SB: It’s nothing to worry about. Like I said she has a girlfriend. She won’t do anything crazy

*******

They arrived at the cabin a few minutes after 10 in the am. Everyone chose their rooms. Nicki with Safaree, Jhené and Tay, Candi had a room to herself, Lauren Decided to share with TT and the baby and Terrence had the room with the bunk beds. He didn’t mind though he figured he had a bed for everyday they would be there. Lauren had explained Safaree’s situation to Nicki because she still wouldn’t speak to him but she was still angry. She felt that he still wasn’t telling her something and she tried not to let it bother her but she couldn’t help it. She was unzipping her duffle on the bed when she felt his arms around her. She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh

Nicki: Safaree move!

She said in a tone that said I don’t wanna fight just leave me alone but he refuse.

SB: No... I hate the fact that you’re not talking to me and I hate not being able to touch you.

He bent his head and kissed her neck

SB: baby I-

Nicki: Don’t call me that

SB: I would never cheat on you. You know that

Nicki: No I don’t

She said trying to pull away but he held her in place

SB: everything that I have is yours Onika. All yours and before I give it to another woman I’d rather take care of it myself, with my hands.

She turned around to face him and he captured her lips with his he thought she would but she didn’t pull away. She kissed him back with so much need. He was the one to pull away and they stood looking in each other’s eyes. She caressed his cheek with her hand and then pecked his lips and as she pulled back slapped him so hard he thought he felt tears in his eyes. She turned his face back to hers with both and hands and spoke

Nicki: Don’t you ever make me jealous again or I swear to God I will rip a bitch’s throat out with my bare hands right before I rip yours

She threatened before taking his lips again

SB: I’m sorr-

Nicki: just shut up and fuck me

He was surprised at her tone and how serious she was in that moment. She rolled her eyes at him

Nicki: do I need to slap you again for making me wait

He lifted her onto the edge of the bed and pushed her dress up. He used one hand to push his sweats and boxers down before sliding her thong to the side. He placed his tip at her entrance and slammed into her. She bit down onto her bottom lip so hard it broke skin. He kissed up her cheek bone as he saw tears running down the side of her face

SB: I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?

He whispered into the ear of a head that was thrown back. He began pulling out when

Nicki: no! Just don’t stop I want you to be rough

******

Jhené: Lauren, TT have you seen Candi

TT: she was outback with Terrence

Jhené: ok thanks *smiles*

She walked out to the back patio but Terrence was alone and on his phone

Jhené: where’s Candi

She mouthed to him

Terrence:” Day hold on a sec… Tay dragged her along for a walk. They went towards the woods

He responded and pointed towards the forest of trees

Jhené: k thanks

She said looking out but not seeing any sign of them. She went back inside and decided to go shower and change into something more comfortable until they came back.

********

Candi:  you know there could be bears out here. I don’t do wild animals

Tay stopped walking turned around and pulled her close wrapping her arms around her waist

Tay: you have me to protect you

Candi: from a bear? Cute but I think we should be heading back

Tay: *sad face* I want some alone time with you

Candi took her hands from around her waist and started to walk back the direction they had come

Tay: fine! We can go back to the cabin just

Tay walked up to her face

Candi: what are you doing?

She asked her breathing quickening because of how close Toy’s lips were to hers

Tay: one kiss?

She said and took her lips before she had time to object. Tay smiled in her mind at all the lust Candi was kissing her back with. It wasn’t until she felt her back against a tree that she pulled away from Tay’s lips.

Candi: stop…

She said out of breath

Tay: you know you don’t want me to

She said against her neck before kissing and sucking on it causing a moan to escape Candi’s lips

Candi: Tay your sister

Tay: will you stop worrying about what Jhené thinks all the shit she’s done in her lifetime she has no right to judge us

Candi: I just…

Tay kissed her before she could finish her sentence

Tay: forget… her

She said between kisses. Candi now knew why Nicki was so hung up on Jhené.  Here she was addicted to a 19 year old girl after one kiss.

Candi: sss… fuck!

She whimpered and bit her lip. She didn’t feel when her legging sand thong were pulled and had no idea her legs were that far apart until she felt Tay’s finger inside her slowly sliding in and out teasing her sex.

Tay: I wanna taste you

She said in the sexiest voice. Candi felt her head nodding yes but had no control over the muscles doing it. Tay bent down sliding her leggings all the way down and slipping it off one leg. She then placed that leg over her shoulder   and kissed her way up her thigh to her soaked pussy. Candi grabbed hold of her hair as her knee threatened to buckle under the pleasure she was receiving. Her moans caught only by an on looking squirrel and owl perched in a tree a few meters behind them.

Candi: fuuuuuuckkk! Baby I’m…. Cumming

Damn, no man had ever made her squirt that quickly before and Tay didn’t waste a drop of it. Just as Candi thought she was done she inserted her fingers again rubbing her g spot while looking up at her flushed face. Tay gave Candi a wry smile before pressing with her fingers and gently biting her clit which caused her to orgasm again and squirt all over Tay’s hand. That one had caught her by surprise and she thanked God she had reached for that branch above her head. Tay put her leg down as tremors still ran through her body from her powerful orgasms and stood up taking her hand from the tree branch and placing both around her neck to support her body as she stood. She kissed her

Tay: you taste fucking amazing

She said softly but all Candi did was look into her eyes before kissing her again

Tay: mmm… *pulls away and pecks her lips* we should head back before they send a search party for us

Candi smiled and kissed her again

Candi: then you better get my clothes on so we can go lil girl

Tay: Right *giggles* can you stand

Candi: cocky much?

Tay: hey you were the one squeezing the life outa that branch

She said as she bent down and fixed Candi’s clothes. She kissed her mound as she pulled her leggings up.

Tay: *smiles* ok lets go

Candi: right after I do this

She pulled her into her and kissed her again. She couldn’t get enough. Then she pulled away and pecked her lips again and again and again and

Tay: if you don’t stop kissing me we’re gonna be out her for gosh knows how long

Candi: *giggles* ok. *pecks lips* let’s go

She walked off first and Tay followed slapping her butt. When they got to the back door Tay pulled her back against her and kissed her neck.  Candi turned around and stuck her fingers in the loops of her shorts and kissed her.

Candi: mmmm… Think Ima have some problems staying away from you in there

 Tay smiled

Tay: we could sneak off to your room

**

When they got in everyone was around the pool table laughing and drinking. All eyes were on them as they got in

Tay: hey guys what’d we miss?

Her sister rolled her eyes at her

Jhené: Candi may I speak to you alone for a bit please?

Candi: umm sure… Lemme just go shower and change first

Everyone got silent. Jhené narrowed her eyes looking at Tay

Tay: Nothing happened we went for a walk we talked

She lied

Lauren: who she tryna fool

Lauren whispered to Nicki

Candi: I won’t be long *smiles and walks away*

Tay was about to walk off when her sister stopped her

Jhené: have you forgotten who you’re talking to? *shakes head* Go shower I can smell her cum on you. In OUR bathroom Tay.

20 minutes later Tay returned and told her sister that Candi was waiting for her out back. Jhené left to go speak to her while Tay challenged Terrence to a game of pool

Tay: Get ready to pay up playboy

All: ooohhhh *burst into laughter*

Terrence: uh, uh! Oh no you didn’t miss thing

Tay: oh yes I did and aint nothing you gon do but accept it when you lose *sticks tongue out*

Terrence: girl save that tongue for Candi aint nobody in here wants it

Tay: couldn’t have it even if you did

She said as she took the shot to break the rack and sunk 4 balls

Nicki: oop!

*MEANWHILE*

Jhené: hey

Candi turned around to face her

Candi: hey

They were silent again. Neither facing the direction of the other was in. One standing by the Jacuzzi and the other standing by the wooden rail of the patio.

Candi: the moon looks so close from up here

Jhené: *giggles* yeah, it does.

Candi looked back and smiled at her

Candi: I’m sorry I was just tryna start some type of convo *giggles* this is a bit...

Jhené: awkward, weird, unusual

Candi: well I was gonna say strange but we can work with your synonyms J

Jhené: You know at first I was really upset about this. I felt it was totally wrong and I had to find a way to convince you, you aren’t right for each other. But then I thought for a bit and I remembered the 17 year old girl who almost didn’t graduate because she slept with a female teacher and the girl who from her second to final year of college dated her psychology professor who was female and I asked myself why are you so surprised? Why are you making this such a big deal? She could’ve been off somewhere dating some stranger that I didn’t know, didn’t trust but she’s here. And I trust Nicki’s word that you won’t hurt her.

Candi: wouldn’t dream of it.

Jhené: Then I guess we’re good then *smiles*

Candi: I guess so *smile*

Jhené: mind you this still is a bit weird but… Guess I can get used to it

Candi: ok

Jhené: come on let's go back in

They both smiled at each other as they head towards the door.

Chapter 20 --> Consent

Nicki: was it really?

Candi: yes
Nicki: Or was it conformation that hey I do want you
Candi: Nicki-

Nicki: and then what happens when that one kiss becomes two and three

Candi: it wont!

Nicki: you lost control one time too many already Candi! God knows how Jhen is goin to react to this!

Candi: you know what.... *sigh*.... forget it. I have to go Nic

Nicki: Can-

She hung up. Nicki sighed and walked back to the kitchen where Jhené and Tay were talking.

Tay: I've been lying to you about something for a while now.

Jhené: what's that?

Tay: Jordan isnt my boyfriend. He's actually gay and... so am I.

Jhené didnt say anything

Tay: He was just posing as my boyfriend for you and mom and dad. I couldnt see myself really dating a guy *makes face*. There is someone Im interested in, someone you know and I know that our age difference is probably gonna freak you out but I really do like her. A lot and she's the one who was in the pool house with me.
Jhené: who is it?
She asked her face showing no empty of emotion. Tay looked to Nicki then back at her sister
Tay: It's.... Candi
Jhené: Candi??
Tay: Nicki's.. friend
Jhené still said nothing and for a moment she just sat there looking at Tay but in a sense not really seeing her and then she just got up and walked out.
Tay: Jhené aren't you gonna say something?
She asked but her sister didnt answer. Nicki walked over and hugged her she couldnt help but let the tears fall.
Nicki: *kisses her forehead* just give her some time okay
She nodded.

Nicki went and found Jhené standing out on the balcony of her bedroom. She walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around her.
Nicki: come lay with me
They got in bed and faced each other Nicki with her leg between Jhené's
Nicki: what are you thinking?
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath
Jhené: About when she was younger. My little pro surfer. That's all she would go on about, Now she hardly even looks at those surf boards now it's.... *closes eyes* Did she tell you about Candi when you spoke to her?
Nicki: yes she did
Jhené: I just... Candi??
Nicki: I was shocked too trust me. I spoke to Candi about it and she said it was just a kiss that wont happen happen. But I know better I have myself as proof that telling yourself that wont ever work. I know their are difference is crazy but for what it's worth I Know Can wont hurt her.
Jhené turned onto her back and closed her eyes.
Nicki snuggled into her.
Nicki: everything's gonna be ok
She said and kissed her neck.

He walked in with his duffle and dropped it on the closet floor. It was 5 minutes after 12 in the afternoon and they were still tangled in each other naked and asleep with their hair spread over the pillows. The pink blanket barely covered their bodies in the king sized bed. He smiled and snapped a picture of them before leaving to go shower in the bathroom of his old bedroom. After showering and getting dressed he left for the studio to work on some new beats for her. It wasnt until after 1 that Nicki was awaken by a phone call from Wayne and in the process of reaching for her phone on Jhené's side of the bed she woke her up too. After talking to Wayne and checking her missed calls and text messages she turned to  her girlfreind and gave her a kiss.
Nicki: I love waking up next to you
Jhené: I love waking up next to you too baby
She responded as she stroked her cheek with the back of her hand. She pecked her lips then closed her eyes again.
Nicki: you still thinking about Tay and Candi?
She placed her palm over her eyes. Nicki took her hand from her face and kissed it
Nicki: hey, she's 19. That's still pretty young but just see how this goes. sometimes you just have to let kids live and learn from the choices they make. She'll be fine. *pecks lips* okay?
Jhené: okay but, I need to have a talk to Candi
Nicki: ok. I got something in mind that we can all do together. You can talk to her and we can have a little fun together.
Jhené: what's that?
Nicki: I'll tell you later. Right now*straddles and kisses her* I want *kisses her again* some more *kiss* of this *kiss* fucking *kiss* amazing *kiss* tongue
Jhené smiled against her lips and flipped them over.
Jhené: you *kiss* are *kiss* insatiable

************

Nicki: how was Miami
SB: hot!! the sun down there is on some shit man. Did you miss me though?
Nicki: of course I did! Very *pecks his lips* much
SB: I missed you too *kisses her*
Nicki: babe do I have any shows between next Friday and Monday?
SB: dont you have someone who keeps track of that?
she slapped him upside his head
Nicki: Im asking you
SB: -_- I have to call and check
Nicki: ok so call :)
He took his phone out his pocket and called to check what schedule was like and held to phone while telling her what she had to do
SB: two interviews and studio
Nicki: interviews with who
SB: flex and prostyle
Nicki: phone interviews?
SB: yes
Nicki: tell him cancel studio and find me a cabin up by Big Bear Lake. Lakefront. Hmmm should be about 8 people and tell him that shit better not be whack or he getting that pink slip
SB: he heard you says he'll email you when he finds one
Safaree hung up.
SB: what are you up to?
Nicki: nothing *sticks tongue out*
She got up from his lap and head to the kitchen and he followed her
Nicki: babe Im hungry *pouts*
he smacked her butt as he walked to the fridge
SB: what do you want to eat?
Nicki: I dont know just make me something
He went to the cupboard and got out some beefaroni
Nicki: Nooooooo. I want you to cook me something
SB: steamed fish.and some vegetables?
Nicki: mmmm okay

He made her steamed fish and served it with carrot sticks, broccoli and baked corn on the cob. She sat in his lap as she ate feeding him bits from her plate.

Nicki: This is really good baby.
He kissed the back of her head
SB: Thanks Im glad you like it.
His phone rang and he pulled it from his pocket answering.
SB: Hello
"hey babe" a female voice boomed through the speakers. His phone had been doing that a lot lately. Every time he answered it automatically went to speaker phone. She slammed the fork against plate and got up from his lap.

Chapter 19 --> Just How Innocent??

Excuse any typos and enjoy :)

When they got back to Cali everything seemed to be working fine. However, Jhené got a bit concerned about Tay. She's been acting different since their trip. Nicki offered to spend some time with her to see if she would open up about it. They were both chilling in the jacuzzi out back talking about some of the barbz when Nicki's phone rang.

Nicki: oh hey we're out back
She said then hung up.
Tay: who was that?
Nicki: I invited Candi and Lauren over for a few hours then its just us again
Tay: oh
She said before getting up and wrapping her towel around her then heading inside
Nicki: Tay?!
Candi and Lauren got out back right as Tay was heading inside
Candi: somebody is not too happy to see us
Lauren: No somebody is not too happy to see you
Nicki: what's that suppose to mean?
Lauren: Candi has a girlfriend in TM
Candi: dont even play with me right now she's not my girlfriend
Nicki: wait... rewind and say that again?
Candi: Tay seems to have a bit of a crush on me
Lauren: you call sending you a nude pic a crush?
Nicki: she sent you a nude picture?? when? where?
Candi: New York. When we went to TT's
Nicki: Is this why she's been acting like this since she came back?
Lauren: prolly and Thembi
Nicki: God what did Thembi do?
She said as she driedn some of the water off her body?
Candi:  the same thing she always does
Nicki: *shakes head* I'll be back yall
She went inside to find Tay in the kitchen eating lettuce and cheese
Nicki: weird choice of snack with all that's in here to eat
Tay: this is what I felt like eating.
She said stuffing more lettuce in her mouth. Nicki sat on one of the stools by the counter
Nicki: are you coming back out there
Tay: dont really feel like it
Nicki: ok Tay come on talk to me tell me what's up. what's on your mind?
Tay: what is there that I can tell you that havnt already?
Nicki: Tay what they say doesnt matter until I here it from you.
Tay: Nic can we just not do thi sright now? please
Nicki: ok tell you what. You come back out with me now and i'll leave you alone until you're ready to tell me about it or you could stay in and i call the girls in and we discuss this now
Tay: Nic-
Nicki: take your pic
Tay: ugh!! Fine I'll come back out

**Later that evening**

Nicki was on the phone with Jhené when she heard a knock on her bedroom door.
Nicki: come in
Tay: are you busy or can we talk
Nicki: baby lemme call you back. Tay's ready to talk... okay *big smile* Oh i got something for you alright *giggles nd hangs up*
She pat the spot next to her for Tay to sit.
Tay: was that my sister?
Nicki: yes it was
Tay: you told her?
Nicki: I told her we were gonna talk tonight that's it. Its up to you o tell her the rest
Tay: *sigh*
she played with her fingers and stared at the floor. Nicki closed her eyes
Nicki: whenever you're ready. Im all ears
It was silent for about 10 minutes before she began speaking
Tay: Jordan is not my boyfriend he's  my bestfriend we're both TM and he's gay. No I dont like boys, eww. I just, I wasnt sure how Jhen would react if she knew I was like her. I kinda feel like she expects me to be different and so do my parents but thats just not me. I dont have a girlfriend at the moment cause most girls my age are cheaters and arent really sure what they want in a relationship.... this thing with Candi is nothing new like Im not the only girl in TM who likes her like that and ther are girls who like Lauren too... trust if you were to witness our skype nd tiny chat video messages you'd be shocked.... you see us on your TL. anyway  yeah I sent her a pic. but I wasnt expecting her to show it to the others and Thembi just attacked me like... anyway there you have it yes I like Candi and Know she's older than me but I cant help I like older women.

She waited for Nicki to respond.
Nicki: Firstly I know Jordan is not your boyfriend the way he talks about dick on my TL and I had a feeling you were into girls I've seen your tweets and dont ask me how I know cause yall know I be knowing stuff when you think I dont. I haven't said anything to your sister however. That's not my place.As for this crush on Candice *sits up in bed* Tay... your 19, Can is much older than you with two kids. I'm sure-
Tay: you're sure what? I can find somebody my own age? well maybe I dont want to. Bunch of stuck up brats who dont know what the hell they want out of life! I'll pass!! You know what just forget it. This lil crush I had..... its forgotten ok. So you dont have to worry about me hitting on your friend anymore.

She ran out. Nicki called to her but she didnt stop, so she just dropped back onto the bed looking at the ceiling. She didnt speaking to her for the rest of that day.

He squeezed her butt as she nibbled his earlobe. It was 10:30 and they were out on her bedroom balcony. She bit her lip and moaned as he sucked on her neck. She couldn't take it anymore, her thongs were soaking wet and she could feel him hard beneath her. She broke their kiss and pulled her top off as he did his. She licked her lips and  stuck her hand in his boxers pulling out his dick. They kissed as she stroked his member and he ripped her thong off tossing it to the side. She lifted herself off his lap and placed his head at her entrance
SB: babe.. I dont have a condom out here
Nicki: We dont need one
She responded easing down unto him. Tay was down the hall in one of the guest bedrooms lights off staring up at the dark ceiling. She couldnt seem to fall asleep. Her eyes got wide when she heard loud moaning she was sure was coming from outside. She got out the bed and walked over to the patio doors gently sliding them open the moans grew louder. She stepped out looking in the direction of Nicki's bedroom to see Safaree with her in his arms bouncing her up and down on his dick. She quickly stepped back in mouth open eyes wide and then a smile crept onto her face. She walked back to the bed leaving the patio doors open. She took her shirt off tossing it towards the door and slid out of her thong. She got under the covers closed her eyes and thought about the one person she wanted in her bed at that very moment just before squeezing her nipples with her left hand and slipping the right between her legs.

*****
She was in the kitchen making breakfast with her iphone on speaker talking to her bestfriend
Tay: Bri I said I'm not home I wont be for the rest of the week
Bri: where are you then?
Tay: I cant tell you that.
Bri: you're being such a bitch right now Tayihé Okole
Tay: and you're being nosey
Bri: whatevs!! Im glad you took back your twitter account its been odd not having you on my TL sending naughty stuff to Candi
Tay: Ugh!! Bri Im gonna hang up now!
Bri: what?! what did I do?
Tay: Nothing

She didnt notice Nicki standing at the entrance to the kitching

Bri: Ok by the sound of your voice there has to be something wrong
Tay: its nothing just leave it alone please.
Bri: fine...........aahhhh!! Nicki just tweeted
Tay: what'd she say
Bri: hold on..... it says "@HawaiiBarb_T is sitting at my counter eating dry cocoa pebbles and drinking orange juice while talking to Bri" wait... but... whaaaaat?
Tay spun around quickly to see Nicki walking towards her.
Nicki: hi barb!!!
she screamed before ending the call on Tay's phone.
Tay: why'd you do that?
Nicki: because I can!! *pulls her bowl away and eats cereal* So what do you wanna do today?
Tay: stay home and watch TV. Dont you  have to be at the studio or something?
Nicki: oh??... are you trying to say you dont want to spend time with me?
Tay: I didnt say that but you're always either at the studio or doing an interview somewhere?
Nicki: well not today. Today Im spending some time with your sis. So what do you want to do?
Tay: Wow..... guess you didnt get enough last night
She said mumbling the last part under her breath
Nicki: What was that?
Tay: nothin... well what are my options? I certainly dont wanna be here while you and my sister are fucking
Nicki: watch your mouth young lady I am not one of your little friends and I will not hesitate to slap for anything slick or smart that comes out. Now you can either go stay with the girls Candi and Lauren or you can go chill with a friend of your choice down by the beach. There was a third option of  shopping but you lost that when you decide to get rude. Now what do you want to do?
Tay: guess i'll go to the beach. I'll call Bri
Nicki: oh your surfboards are in the pool house. Jhen had them dropped off yesterday while you were being mad at me and my driver will take you to pick your friend up.

She rolled her eyes as Nicki walked off
Nicki: *stops and turns around* oh and if I want to fuck all night and wake up and fuck the whole day after its not your place to sit around thinking about whether or not I got enough the night before.

**********
Nicki: Mmm baby right there
Jhené: Right.... here?
She replied kissing her neck again
Nicki: *bites lip* yeah....sss oohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. do that again
They were in the living room on the plush white carpet stripped down to their panties only.
She kissed down to her breasts and gave each one the same amount of attention nibbling and sucking on each nipple, leaving her mark on the sides. She made ehr way down to her belly button then stopped and went back to her lips.
Jhené: keep your eyes closed i'll be right back
Nicki: mmm *giggles* k.
Jhené went over to her bag on the couch and took out two items then went back over to Nicki straddling her. She was about to open her eyes when
Jhené: ah ah! eyes closed
Nicki: *giggles* what are you doing?
Jhené smile and kissed her raising both her hands above her head and placing the pink fuzzy handcuffs around her wrist.
Nicki: you're such a freak
Jhené: act like you dont like it
She said slipping the blindfold over her eyes
Nicki: Oh i love it *smiles*
 She was driving Nicki crazy on the floor. She had already cum twice from Jhené just kissing and touching the right places on her body. It was even more intense because she couldnt see where she was gonna touch next. Nicki felt the sole of her foot being kissed and bit her bottom lip to hold her moan in but by the way Jhené licked then bit the pad of her toes she lost it and came again.
Nicki: ba... baby...please
She begged as her body shook from her orgasm.Jhené removed the cuffs and blindfold and looked into her eyes before kissing her passionately then slowly made her way between her legs.

***********
Bri: I thought I was your bestfriend? Now you're keeping secrets from me
Tay: you are my bestfriend but some things I still cant tell even you. I told you yes I was at HB's hous but that's all I can say and I would think as my friend you would understand that
She said walking up the beach and dropping  her surfboard by the towels
Bri: ugh!! Fine Tay whatever. So I guess I cant come back to the house with you
Tay: Not today
Bri rolled her eyes and started packing her stuff up. She wrapped her towel around her and head for the car putting her stuff on the back seat then went to pick up her board. Tay had the driver drop Bri home then asked him to bring her to Lauren's. She got to the door and knocked. The door opened on her fourth knock
Lauren: Hey
Tay: hey
Lauren: thought Nicki said you werent coming
Tay: I... My friend got mad she couldnt come back to the house with me and I really didnt wanna go back there with all that Im sure is going on.
Lauren: Oh
Tay: Look I'll leave if you're busy -
Lauren: Nooo baby girl its cool. You can stay I don t mind
She waved to the driver letting him know it was ok to leave and stepped inside. Lauren closed the door behind her.
Lauren: Do you wanna shower and change?
Tay: yeah that'd be cool..Please
Lauren showed her to the bathroom and then went back to the kitchen where she had been previously with Candi and Vince drinking and talking.
Candi: who was it?
Lauren: Tay
Candi: oh..
Vince: who's that?
Lauren: Jhené's littlle sister
Vince: word. how old?
Lauren: 19 Vincent *rolls eyes*
Vince: Im just asking?

30mins passed and Tay still hadn't come from the bathroom Lauren was about to go check on her when Candi said she would.
Tay was on the phone with Jordan while using a towel to dry her hair. She heard a knock on the bathroom door and told him to hold placing her phone on the sink she opened the door
Tay: Lauren do you have a blow... dryer
She finished as she saw Candi standing there
Candi: blow dryer is in there top drawer
Candi said pointing
Tay: thank you
She was about to close the door back when Candi used her hand to block it and they stood there just looking each other in the eyes until Candi smiled and walked away. Tay slowly closed the door and went back to her phone call.
Tay: umm yeah
Jordan: what was that about?
Tay: nothing just. keep everything you know off twitter or my ass is dead and we'll talk later
Jordan: lips sealed boo boo. and can you ask HB to follow me please
Tay: ugh!! Bye Jordan
Jordan: love you too bitch!

********
Jhené ran her hand through her hair as her eyes fluttered open. She smiled at Nicki's naked body intertwined with hers. She tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled how beautiful she looked asleep. She gently eased from under her careful not to wake her and went to the bathroom to relieve herself. When she was done she pulled on one of Nicki's Ts and went downstairs to check get her phone. She hadnt checked on her sister all day. She called Tay's phone 5 times and didnt get an answer. It was after 6 and she was beginning to get a little worried. She called Bri but she told her she hadn't seen her since 2. She tried calling her again but still no answer. She decided to try Jordan and he told her the last time he spoke to her she was at Lauren's. She took Nicki's phone and searched for Lauren's number then called her she picked up on the third ring
Lauren: Hello
Jhené: hey its Jhen is Tay by you? Ive been calling her phone and no answer
Lauren: She was. Candi left to drop her off over an hour ago.
Jhené: oh ok
Lauren: wait she's not home yet?
Jhené: No but if she's with Candi it's cool. I just wanna make sure she's ok. thank you
Lauren: your welcome

Lauren quickly hung up and called Candi's phone but it rang straight to voicemail. She tried again and the same thing happened.
Lauren: oh no the fuck you didnt
She said rolling her eyes and grabbing her car keys. When she got there Candi wasnt home. So she called her phone one more time she answered on the second ring
Lauren: Jhené just called me asking for to you were suppose to drop her off over an hour ago.
Candi: Tay is at Nicki's
Lauren: so why doesnt her sister know she is and why isnt she answering her phone?
Candi: Im about to drive can I call you back please
Lauren: Candice you didnt?
She hung up in Lauren's ears.

*****
Jhené was in the kitchen making dinner for her and Nicki who was still asleep when the back door slid open and her siter walked in. it was 10 past 7. She was wearing a t-shirt and underwear with her jeans hanging on her bag that was in her hand.
Jhené: where have you been?
Tay: I w-
Jhené: and please answer as the why the fuck half your clothes is off Tay
Tay: Jhen I was just in the pool house
Jhené: doing what? I hope to God you did not bring a boy up in Nic's house cause-
Tay: I wasnt in there with a boy Jhen gosh!! Just like you to be making fucking assumptions.
Jhené: I called your phone God knows how many time and you didnt answer me why? Lauren told me Candi was suppose to drop you off over two hours ago
Tay: and she did. I just told you I was in the pool house.
Jhené: so why is half your clothes off
Tay: *runs hand through her hair* hello I do this everytime I wear jeans you know that
Jhené: come here
She walked over to her sister who hugged her
Jhené: dont you ever make me worry like that again ok
Tay: ok
She eyed the blue black mark on her little sisters neck before saying
Jhené: go on up and shower i'll be up to talk to you in a bit

After she finished making dinner she went up to check on Nicki but she wasnt in bed. She noticed the balcony doors were open and walked out to see her standing by the rail looking out. She walked up to her and wrapped her arms around her.
Jhené: *kisses her neck* you ok?
Nicki: *smiles and turns around in her arms* couldnt be better
Jhené: I made dinner you hunger?
Nicki: not for what you cooked
She responded kissing her
Jhené: well... i... dont mind... giving you more.... but .. you still... need.. to eat
she said between kisses
Nicki: shower with me first
Jhené: ok
She answered as she opened the front of Nicki's robe and pushed it over her shoulder.

***********
They were walking down to the kitchen Tay was ahead of them and Nicki was holding on to Jhené's shirt walking behind her and talking to Safaree on the phone.
Nicki: Miss you more. Dont be talking to no girls down there. Dnt even tell em hi.... Safaree Im serious!.. Ok.. What time you coming home tomorrow?........................ oh ok.... k... love you too baby.

Jhené sat down after making their plates and Nicki sat straddling her lap
Jhené: *giggles* babe we cant eat like this
Nicki: yes we can *pouts*
Jhené: how?
Nicki: I could sit on the table and you can eat my pussy
She whispered in her ear. Jhené laughed
Jhené: you are so rude
She said as she kissed her and slipped her hands under her t-shirt at that moment she realized she wasnt wearing any underwear. She laughed again and looked into her eyes.
Jhené: so rude
She said and slipped a finger inside her. Nicki gasped throwing her head back and bit her bottom lip. She slowly pulled her finger out and put it in her mouth.
Nicki: ugh! Why'd you stop?
Jhené: cause as good as you taste right now. You need to eat.
Nicki pouted and Jhené kissed her pouty lips.
Tay: Wow!!
was all Tay said and they both turned and looked at her
Jhené: what you should be saying wow for is that big ass mark on your neck which Im sure you are now aware of since your shower
Tay looked down at her food
Nicki: what mark? Tay turned her head to the side so Nicki could see
Jhené: ever since you came back from New York you've been acting different. What happened Tay?
Tay: nothing happened Jhen!
She said getting up
Jhené: well excuse the fuck outa me for not noticing this behavior before. I must have been fucking blind! I asked you this question earlier and Ima ask you again. Who were you in the pool house with? you lied when you answered me before but maybe you'll explain to Nicki why and who you were fucking at her house.
Nicki: whoa!! Hold up!
Nicki said getting up from Jhené's lap.
Nicki: Tay??
Tay: Nicki I-
Jhené: so who's the boy Tay?
Tay: I TOLD YOU I WASNT IN THE POOL HOUSE WITH A FUCKING BOY!!!
She said and got up from the table and storming out. Nicki thought back to earlier when she was standing out on her balcony and saw Candi's car driving out
Nicki: she wasnt with a boy
Nicki said looking at Jhené
Jhené: Is there something you're not telling me Nic
Nicki: there's something she needs to tell you and a phone call I need to make. I'll go get her to come talk to you.

Nicki went and spoke to Tay convincing her to go speak to her sister about what was going on while she called Candi
Candi: Hello
Nicki: I cant fucking believe you right now
Candi: Nicki nothing happened
Nicki: nothing happened?! That hickie on her neck doesnt say nothing happened Candi
Candi: look I dropped her off and helped her bring her stuff around to the pool house we talked for a while about her crush on me about our age difference. She didnt agree with what I had to say and when I was leaving she pulled me back and kissed me... I... couldnt help it.. I kissed her back and yes I got a little caught up in the moment  but I stopped it before it went too far. All we did was kiss
Nicki: Candi...
Candi: it was just a kiss
Nicki was silent on the other end of the line

Chapter 18 --> Apologies

She hadnt realized how long she'd been standing there until her phone began ringing
Nicki: hello
SB: Im starting to think the restroom was an excuse to bail on me
Nicki: No... I ran into someone sorry.. I'll be right out
SB: ok.. you alright
Nicki: yeah Im fine
When she got out she told him she was ready to leave.

(Outside)
Tayihé: ugh!! HB is such a bitch!
she said as the door on the driver's side closed and the engine started
Jhené: watch your mouth and dont get slapped!!
Tayihé: what is this pick on Tay day? and why am I just finding out that you are sleeping with the one rapper I get told everyday Im obsessed with? I forgot to freaking spazz when she walked in. I was just standing there!! You have to introduce me PROPERLY! UGH!! Like WTF?? Jhen!! *face palm* and I call myself TM is this day a joke?? Does mom know you two are dating? Why am I always the last t-
Jhené: TAY!!!
She shouted at her sister who shut up instantly and sat looking at her eyes wide.
Tayihé: I j-
Jhené: NO!! I dont wanna hear anything from you for the rest of the day! and i better not see anything about it on your twitter and if you even think about mentioning this to your loud mouth friends
They pulled out of the parking lot

*****

SB: I dont like it when you look like this *kisses her head*
They were sitting out back by the pool. Her between his legs with her back to him and head on his chest. After lunch they had gone to all her meetings and were home for the rest of the night. It was after seven.  He looked down and noticed her eyes were closed
SB: you asleep?
Nicki: No
She responded eyes still closed
SB: whats on your mind?
She didnt respond
SB: ok come on lets go inside
Nicki: noooooooooo I wanna stay right here
She whined
SB: I need to go pick something up. I wont be long promise
Nicki glared at him
SB: we can come back out here when I get back if you still want to
Nicki: fuck you Safaree
She said and stormed into the house. He shook his head as he walked in, grabbed his phone and keys then head out the front door. He stopped in front of the building and put the phone to his ear waiting for the person to pick up but after a few rings voicemail. He tried again and again but still no answer. There was light on in the apartment so someone had to be home he decided to go check it out. He knocked on the door and  heard a child tell her mom someone was at the door. A few minutes later the door opened
Woman: hi may I help you?
She had a baby girl at her hip she looked about four years old. A few empty boxes lay around the apartment some open with contents from it on the floor others still sealed with labels telling what was in side. She noticed Safaree looking
Woman: we just moved in excuse the mess *smiles*
SB: oh sorry. I was looking for a friend who I now see doesnt live here anymore. Didnt mean to bother you
Woman: oh its ok. Sorry about you friend
SB: its cool. bye
Baby: bye Fawee *waves her liddo hand*
Her mom looked on her strange and then looked at Safaree.
Woman: sweetie where do you know that man from
Baby: *she held her moms face with both hands* Micki Amaaaj momma
She said looking at her mom with her eyes wide
Safaree chuckled. her mom looked at Safaree again.
Woman: Im sorry shes a huge Nicki fan she must think you're that guy who's always with her
SB: *shakes head* yeah she must. Have a good night.
he didnt bother telling her he actually was he knew just how he wanted to work that out.

When he got back to the car he took his phone out and dialed the number again. He got an answer on the fourth ring from a very sleepy voice

"Hello"
SB: Ive been calling you for the past hour
"Ive been sleeping for the past hour and a half"
SB: I need to see you
"Well thats a surprising. I'd think I'd be the last person you want to see right now"
SB: look we need to talk. where are you I just left your apartment or should I say your former apartment
"Im tired can this wait til tomorrow"
SB: no it cant. stop being difficult and just tell me where you are.
he didnt hear a response
SB: if you wont do it for my sake do it for Nic
*sigh*
"31339 Pacific Coast Highway"
SB: thats a Malibu address
"wow how smart you are. How long before you get here?"
SB: 15 minutes tops
"fine."
 he hung up and drove off.

He was about to ring the doorbell when the door opened.
"Hi"
SB: hi
he entered the house
SB: does she know you moved?
"No not yet"
They sat on the couch in the living room.

"So you wanted to speak to me"
SB: well actually I was wondering if you'd come back to the house with me... please. no questions no objections please
"................. i need to change"
SB: no you dont
"Are you sure about this?"
SB: yes

When they got back to the house lights were off downstairs.
SB: she's in the bedroom go on up.

Nicki was laying with her eyes closed trying her best to fall asleep. She felt someone get on the bed and then hands around her waist. a kiss on her nape and the smell of that familiar shower gel. She turned around to face her.
Jhené: turn that frown upside down
She said softly
Nicki: not very easy to do with most the people close to me mad at me
Jhené: Then you gotta fix that. I mean like in the morning
She opened her mouth to speak
Jhené: no excuses Onika
Nicki: ugh fine tomorrow.
Jhené: come here my big baby
She pulled her closer and they layed there until nicki fell asleep. Jhené heard the bedroom door open and turned her head gently.
Jhené: you ready to come to bed? cause I'll leave
SB: Nah stay the night with her
Jhené: Far-
SB: really its cool *smile*

***************

They'd been sitting talking since 6 in the morning. Jhené found it hard to fall asleep she'd just been in the bed so Nicki would sleep. Safaree hadnt gone to bed at all.
Jhené: she didnt tell you it was me she ran into in the restaurant bathroom
SB: No just that she ran into someone
She gave him the rundown of what happened
SB: wow! your sister
Jhené: yup
SB: you know at first I thought she was just into this for the experience but somewhere along the line she fell in love with you and I think you love her too
Jhené: Safaree you're right, I do love her but Im not Im not in love with her and Im doubt she's in love with me.
"LIAR" she voice in her head scream.
Jhené: we're females the way we love is different so yeah it'll look like more than it is
"I love you Onika but I cant ruin the relationship you have with him" she thought to herself  not hearing half of what SB was saying.
SB: .... So I'm willing to try this again. For her sake.
Jhené: we're ok with it but what about Mrs Maraj?
SB: that will be the most difficult part of this but we can work that out tomorrow when we're in New York.  You could come with us.
Jhené: I can't leave Tay alone in that house
SB: take her you with
Jhené: I dont know...
SB: relax it'll be fine and she'll have fun
Jhené: Safaree...
SB: trust me
She sat there looking at him questioningly.

--NEW YORK-- Nicki's POV

I scowl with frustration at myself in the mirror. Damn it Onika what do you really want? I asked my self that question over and over until it was time to leave for my moms house. She's not gonna change her  mind about this I dont even know why they want me to go. Treating me like a fucking kid. well damn you are acting like one! 
Nicki: Shut Up!!
I blurted out actually talking to myself but of course this nigga gotta think I'm talking to him. Look at them all looking at me like I'm crazy. God!! I pulled my shades down and turned my head to look out the window. They were silent the rest of the ride.
-----------

The car pulled up to her mom's house and she rolled her eyes behind her shades.
Candi: I know you rollin them eyes
Nicki showed her her middle finger. As they approached the front door it opened and Jelani came into view. He greeted them as they entered.
Jhené: no smart mouthing
she said softly to Nicki as she stood infront of her
Nicki: I'll try
Jhené: oh you're gonna do more than try
Jelani: so this is the beautiful girl I've been hearing so much about.
Nicki: Lani she's not interested and who you been hearing from? Other than Caiah?
Jelani: WOW! *shakes head* see now I understand why you're really here.
She opened her mouth to say something else smart until Jhené made a face at her.
Nicki: where is she?
Jelani: Kitchen
He said then walked off.
Candi: Umm we're gonna go out for a min let you guys talk. Tay do you wanna come with us?
She look at her sister first who gave her a nod of approval and left with Candi and Lauren. Nicki too a deep breath and went to go find her mom in the kitchen.

MEANWHILE

Candi: So how old are you
Candi ask as they drove to meet up with TT and Thembi
Tay: Im 19
She replied in a small voice.
Lauren: shy girl I see
Tay: No.. well not really I.. just..
Lauren: Just what?
Tay: never mind
Lauren: come on we're like family now it's cool you can talk to us
Lauren said looking at her through the rear view mirror
Tay: its really nothing
she said looking at Candi and licking her lips unconsciously
Lauren: Oh..
Candi: Oh what?
Lauren: wouldn't yo like to know
Candi: *rolled hers eyes at Lauren* Tay do you have a boyfriend?
Tay: umm.. well. Yeah you could say that
Lauren: you dont sound too sure? he playing slick with you? cause we'll put him in check real quick
Tayihé laughed
Tay: no. its not like that.. Its just.. I  feel like he's just there cause I think Jhené and my mom and dad expect me to have one. But we're really just friends. Cause he like's the dick
Candi: but why do you think that is what they expect of you though?
Tay: I dont even know?
Lauren: well do you even like boys?
She made a disgusted face
Tay: I liked one boy before and that was in junior high. he kissed me in the hallway and I threw up on him
They all burst into laughter
Lauren: wait... *burst out laughing again*
Tay: he was the only one
Candi: so do you have a girlfriend
a cheeky smile crept onto her face when Candi asked her that question and the tone of her voice when she answered
Tay: No I dont have a girlfriend right now.
As they got out the car at TT's, Candi's phone vibrated. She checked to see she had a twitter mention

@HawaiiBarb_T: *kisses* @Candi_2

Candi: all the random kisses i get from girl in TM *giggles*
Lauren: Im telling you!
@Candi_2: RT @HawaiiBarb_T: *kisses* @Candi_2 << *kisses you back* damn you got some sexy lips

A couple seconds after she sent the tweet Tay's phone went off they both looked at her and her phone continued going off as tweets came in.
Tay: I have all you tweets sent to my phone and a  few people in TM too.
Then Lauren's phone started going off
Lauren: whatever you just tweeted sent the barbs into a frenzy
Candi: *giggles* I was just being honest with the kid she has nice lips.
Lauren shook her head as they walked into the house.
TT: leave it up to you to start some shit on twitter before you step foot into my house. You know the barbs aint gon let this go. Who's this pretty little miss?
Candi: Jhené's lil sister
TT: ooohh hey
Tay smiled at her.
TT: so what's going on
Lauren: talkin to mom. You know how that might turn out so we decided to come bug you
Candi: where's Thembz?
TT: went to pick up MJ for me
Candi: Oh ok.

------------
Nicki was talking to her mom first while Jhené and SB waited in the living room
Nicki: Mom look Im not tryna fight with you about this anymore. I just got done apologizing to you for our first argument about it. Look I cant force you to accept something you dont believe is right. All I'm asking you to do is respect My choices
Mama Carol looked at her daughter then turned to looking out the kitchen window.
Carol: go tell Safaree I want to speak with him
Nicki went and did as she had asked and he went in to her
Carol: why did you lie to me?
SB: mom, Im sorry that wasnt my intention at all
Carol: you dont go playing jealous you're suppose to be the man in the relationship!
he hung his head.
Carol: you never know what you have until you lose it Safaree Lloyd Samuels! Remember my words and remember this was your choice. Go tell that girl I want to speak with her
SB: yes ma'am
He went out and got Jhené. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a min before she dared take a step toward the kitchen and when she got in Mama Carol was sitting at the table.
Carol: have a seat
Jhené did as she was told. Carol sat looking into to her eyes for a while then look away as she spoke.
Carol: You love her??
Jhené: I-
Carol: think again before you sit here and lie to me. Maybe you were able to fool Safaree saying that but you wont get it by me.
Jhené looked down
Jhené: I just I dont want to be the reason for their breakup. I dont wanna be-
Carol took her hand into hers
Carol: look at me. You wont be if you stick around but if you leave now, that's it. Onika is hard headed once she sets her mind to something there's no changing it. She has to learn from her her experiences and that's one of the main reasons why I'm enot going to fight her on this anymore. It doesnt mean I think this is ok. Because I dont. But th least I can do is have respect for her choice. You seem a fine young lady from what I've heard you're part of the reason she's here right now and I appreciate that. Thank you. You treat my daughter right.
Jhené: I will.

***Back at TT's**
They were all sitting in the living room watching TV and having girl talk with tay being quiet most of the conversation. Only responding to questions directed to her.
TT: did you guys see the new pics of MJ I put on facebook. Boy wont let me comb his hair *shakes head
Candi: I shouldnt have to go on Facebook just see pics of my nephew
Candi said reaching for her phone to go see the pics. As she signed in she noticed she had 1 new message. She opened it and her eyes grew wide.

It's all yours if you'll have it @HawaiiBarb_T

She was about to speak when she choked.
The girls started laughing
TT: his hair is not that bad Candice stop being extra
She took a sip of her bottled water.
Candi: oh it aint that
She said handing Lauren the phone
Lauren: ok this lil hirl needs her some barbie detention for this pic.
TT: oh Candi Candi Candi
Thembi: ok what are yall talking about
Lauren: oh right you werent here when we were telling TT
Lauren handed her the phone
Thembi: girlllll wait... someone from TM sent you this?
TT: Those kids some freaks
Lauren: they take after their idol
They all laughed except Tay and Thembi
Tay: ummm TT may I use your bathroom please
TT: sure baby girl down the hallway first door on your left
Lauren: her name's cute even though I cant pronounce it. none of my gay TM stalkers been brave enough to send me nude pics
she said as Tay got up
Thembi: you sound like you want them to
Lauren: I dont Im just saying
TT: this name is Hawaiian right?
Candi: yes it is
she responded
TT: tay is Hawaiian right
Candi; what are you tryna get at TT
TT: that we could as her to say the name
Lauren: or if thats her facebook
all eyes went to Lauren
Thembi: you dont think..
Just then Tay walked back in
Tay: what did I miss
Lauren: What's your twitter name?
Tay: @Tay_Okole
TT: your Facebook?
Tay: I dont have facebook.. anymore
she lied
Thembi: How many twitter pages you got?
Tay: 1.. why all the questions?
Candi: guys stop. Its not her
Tay: what's not me?
TT handed her the phone
Tay: oh...
Lauren: are you familiar with that twitter name?
Tay: yes I follow her.. shit
She said as she realized she hadnt changed her FB name back
TT: what?
Tay: nothing
she said handing the phone back to TT
Candice: yall just leave her alone
Candi said seeing she was getting uncomfortable
Thembi: I have one more question
Candi: Thembi..
Tay: no its ok let her ask
Thembi: what's your full name?
Tay: Tayihé Okole
Thembi: You're from Hawaii baby I know better
Tay looked at Candi then back at Thembi
Tay: My name is..Tayihé 'Alohilani Halana Malie Kalani Okole
She said before getting up and walking out. TT looked at the fb name  it read "Halana Malie"
Candi: really Thembi?
Candi said and went after her.
Lauren: are you happy?
Lauren said to thembi as she got up and walked out
Thembi: are they serious right now
TT: Themb just let it go...
When Candi got to the car she didnt find Tay
Candi: just fucking great
She ran down to the street and saw her walking down the block
Candi: Tay! Girl this is not Cali are you fixin to end up missing on my ass? Get back here
Tay: why so you're friends can drill me some more?
Candi: look Im sorry about Thembi ok. Just come back and we'll leave ok.
She turned around and walked hastily back brushing past Candi in the driveway and getting into the car. The drive back was silent as Lauren drove. Candi went back to sign out of facebook when she noticed the account she got the picture from no longer existed. She quickly went to her twitter and realized she had lost someone she followed and a follower. She looked back at Tay who had took her jacket off and had the hood over her face. When they got back to Mama Carol's Candi asked Lauren to go ahead so she could speak to Tay for a bit and she did.
Candi: you know you didnt have to deactivate your account because of Thembi
Tay: I dont know what you're talking about
Candi: look you can be honest with me. its just us
Tay: Im gonna go check on my sister
She said and walked off.
