11. Up And Down - Part Two

*Hope this is okay for everyone :) Thanku for all the comments last chapter! I know this is SUPER short but I'm just doing a teeny bit of a posting frenzy tonight and like I said on one of the other fics I updated, I'll be writing again as usual tomorrow. I'm bringing the order thing back in to make it easier for myself so it will go as follows (Unless Im struggling on a certain fic) FY, HIA, CAHM, WTWC and CM.*

Hearing the door shut loudly both Nicki and Safaree woke with a start. They'd fallen asleep on the couch, most likely down to the fact that she had woken them up so early to clean.

"Is that your parents?" His face was screwed up as he stretched his arms out, she was still in a sleepy state with her eyes closed.

"Can you see them?"

"No."

"Well then obviously it ain't my parents." Sitting up she pulled her gaze to window, only to see Mia climbing into the car with her brother. "Bitch didn't even say bye."

"Finally she's gone."

"Safaree, don't be so mean." She leant forward and snatched her glasses case from the coffee table before sliding them on to her face and pulling her hair back. "Can we do something? I'on wanna sit in all day." He didn't answer but just continued to stare at her face. "What?"

"Nothin'.

"No you were starin' at me weird. What?" She waited for him to reply but then realised. "Oh right, yeah." Her face turned a light shade of pink as she pulled her glasses off. "My contacts are upstairs, hold on." She stood up but squealed when he pulled her back down.

"Put them back on."

"Why? I'on need to wear 'em if I put my contacts in." Taking the glasses from her hands he put them back on her face and smiled when he was done.

"There. That's the Onika I remember meetin' in the hallway for the first time." He wasn't just saying that either. As of late she'd changed more than a little, not so much her personality but more how she looked and dressed. She reminded him of Mia sometimes. Speaking of the devil Nicki's attention was drawn to her phone when she got a text from her.

"Mia said she didn't wanna wake us, so she left without tellin' us bye."

"What's her deal? She's been actin' real weird recently."

"I'on know, somethin' to do with Drake probably. He's such an ass. I mean I know he's your friend and everythin' but..." She trailed off and shook her head. "Anyway, enough about her. What are we doin' today?"

"Nic, its's almost four. The day's practically over."

"You're so negative, we've got like, four or five hours of daylight left so let's do somethin'." She slapped his thigh and stood up. "I'm goin' to shower."



Pulling her still wet hair up into a bun she grabbed the lotion and headed to her bed and applied it before dressing herself and heading back downstairs.

"Safaree do you know where-" She stopped speaking instantly and slowed her pace down on the stairs as she came face to face with her Father. "Oh, Dad I didn't know you were back yet, I have to introduce you to someone-"

"I sent your little friend home." His face was not a happy one as he looked at her disappointedly.

"What? Why did you do that?" She descended the last two steps and was now looking up at him rather than down.

"I think you're forgettin' whose house this is! And what I don't appreciate is my daughter bringin' home people when I'm away." He hardened his face as she rolled her eyes with attitude.

"I'll just go over to his then." Aiming to move past him to the front door she felt his strong grip on her arm as he yanked her back.

***

Sitting at the dinner table he couldn't comprehend what had happened. As soon as Mr Maraj had forcefully shown him the door he had called Nicki to let her know but he guessed she was still showering. Even so, he'd called her at least twenty times since then and messaged her but she wasn't answering. His Mother noticed how quiet he was being as they all ate.

"Everything okay with you Safaree?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah I'm good." His answer didn't satisfy his Mother or sister as they both shared a look when he returned his concentration back to his plate. Before either of them could utter another syllable there was a small but urgent knock at the door.

"I got it, I'm done eatin' anyway." Setting his knife and fork down he made his way to the door whilst his Mother began clearing the plates away.

Back in the hallway Safaree wasted no time pulling the door open after seeing Nicki through the peephole.

"Nicki? What are you-" He stopped when he saw the state of her face. "What happened to your face?" His hands instantly grabbed her upper arms gently as he tried to look in her eyes. She was crying and refused to look up at him before he slowly led her inside. Announcing that Nicki was here he quickly took her upstairs, shutting his bedroom door behind them. "Nicki what the hell happened?" He made sure to sit down slowly next to her on the bed as she continued to shake.

"Can I stay here tonight, please?" The tears weren't falling properly, just resting on her bottom lid as she awaited an answer.

"Sure, you don't have to ask Nic." He pulled her too him and held her wondering what the hell had happened, he had a pretty good idea that it was something to do with his being there when her Father returned. "I'mma just go grab you some of Nina's stuff to sleep in, wait here." She did as he said and sat nervously waiting as he disappeared. He felt so guilty but managed to suppress those thoughts realising that she hadn't actually explained what even happened yet. After getting a t-shirt and some sweats he re-entered his room, Nicki was still sat in the same place. He got a better glimpse of her face as he set the clothes down next to her, it looked pretty painful.

"You want anythin'? Food? Somethin' to drink?"

"No, I'm good. Thanks." She was being really quiet compared to the Nicki he knew so well. The clothes now in her clutch she folded her lips and once again avoided eye contact as she sniffed. "Is there somewhere I can change?"

"Yeah, yeah 'course. I'm just gon' go grab some water, you can change in here." He smiled reassuringly but didn't receive one in return. Closing the door behind himself he jogged down the stairs and got two bottles just in case. He knew she wasn't going to open up straight away but he didn't mind, as long as she was there with him and safe he could wait for an explanation.

10. Up And Down - Part One

*I get so freaked out when I post for this one, I dnt know why! lol I think I get worried that as you judge the characters you'll might be judging me :/ Also I said that mainly Mia's character's issues and shit are strongly related to mine, I just want you all to know I am not pregnant nor have I ever been lmao! Moving on, here is chapter 10 ^_^ Hope it's ok for everyone!*

"Nicki. Stop." He took her wrist gently and put it back by her side. That was the third time it had started on his chest and gradually moved further down. Hearing her huff and start violently snatching at the covers he couldn't help but laugh to himself. Especially when she got herself in a knot and eventually stopped moving. "Need any help?"

"Don't touch me, I'm mad at you."

"Oh come on Nic, don't be like that." Even though she was drunk she could still tell he was laughing.

"I have to pee."

"Really?" He turned to look at her but only saw her head move up and down as she nodded. She was such a handful. "Well, lemme help you then." Moving up a little he pulled at the covers which had come loose from the bottom of her bed and become intwined in her legs after her little tantrum. Once she was free he watched her teeter over to her bathroom and shut the door behind her. He was thankful when she returned and fell straight to sleep without another word.

***

Wrinkling his face up again he swatted at the annoying tickling sensation he was feeling on his face. He opened his eyes only to see Nicki face to face with him as she ran the tip of her finger over the end of his nose and down his lips. She looked wide awake.

"Finally, you're awake." She grinned before quickly kissing his grumpy face and rolling off the bed. "Come on we have to go clean." She pulled at his arm waiting for him to move.

"Nicki, how the hell are you so damn cheery at eight in the mornin'?" He pulled the cover over his head again. He had no idea how she was up, awake and already dressed when he was quite sure she'd have a hangover after last night. Quickly growing impatient with him she climbed back on to the bed and straddled his waist since he was now laying on his back.

"Sa-Fa-Ree?" She tugged at the edges of the quilt to reveal his unimpressed face. "I'll make you pancakes if you come help me?"

"How do I know you ain't just lyin' to get me outta bed?"

"Isn't it usually the other way 'round? Lying to get somebody into bed?" She lay more emphasis on the word 'into' as she stared down at him. His eyes were elsewhere though. Squinting her own she tilted her head and laughed. "Why you always lookin' at me like I'm somethin' to eat?"

"'Cause you are." Without warning he flipped her over and pinned her down as she erupted into a fit of laughter. But a throaty cough made them both look to the doorway. It was Mia. And what a sight she was.

"Could you two please keep it the fuck down?" She shut her eyes as the sun shining through Nicki's window made her flinch. The moment she slumped off again they winded up laughing even louder.

"Wow, Ion think she's feelin' too good." Wriggling around underneath him she managed to get out of his grasp before standing expectantly in the door way. "Let's go Safaree, move!" He didn't have time to moan as she skipped off down the hall with him following shortly after.

***

She kept her word. Once they'd finished cleaning she made pancakes which were now sat in the middle of the table. Only himself and Nicki were actually eating them though as Mia sipped quietly and slowly at her coffee. The silence was oddly uncomfortable, but leave that to Nicki. She soon opened her mouth and eased the growing tension.

"What do you wanna do today?" She kept her eyes fixed on her plate as she wrinkled her brow with concentration. Safaree couldn't help but smile about how serious she was with trying to get her syrup just right.

"Sleep." Mia's voice was groggy, no wonder either. After cleaning up Nicki and Safaree checked her Father's drink cabinet to find that it was close to empty once they'd thrown away the finished bottles.

"Girl, go home and sleep! We got stuff to do." As she finished the last of her pancake she scooped up Safaree's plate and put them in the sink ready to wash once Mia's cup was empty. There was a couple things Nicki wanted to talk to her about but she'd wait until Safaree was gone for that.

The day was pretty average, they didn't do much else but lounge around and talk for the most part as Mia recovered from her night. Safaree was kind of hoping she'd just leave. But she didn't. She was asleep in Nicki's room though so that could sort of count as her not being there. Not taking a moment to think about it SB seized the opportunity to start a mini make-out session before putting a movie on. He had no idea why they bothered because they never watched the entire movie, they'd either start talking or kissing and not finish it. This was one of those moments as Nicki was just staring at the side of his face.

"What?"

"Oh? So I'm not allowed to look at you anymore?"

"No, I never said that. I just wanted to know what you was lookin' at." He pecked her lips briefly whilst her eyes followed him the whole time before he started doing the same back to her. "What were you cryin' 'bout that day?" Her face automatically contorted with confusion at his random question.

"What day?"

"The day I first ever saw you, we bumped into each other in the hallway and you was cryin'."

"And you're only just askin' now?" She deadened her face at him slightly as he chuckled.

"No but forreal, what was up?" His face mirrored hers as she frowned remembering what Mia had said to her that day.

"Oh, I don't even remember to be honest."

"Lies."

"Safaree I'm not lyin'." Trying to distract him she kissed his lips multiple times to stop him from talking. It worked, he didn't ask anymore questions. He was a sucker for that and she knew it. There was something different this time though as she moved to straddle him again. His hands were running up and down the outsides of her thighs as he deepened the kiss and she draped her arms loosely around his neck. Then it happened. She moaned and quite honestly she was mortified. It came from nowhere but it didn't stop them, if anything it heated things even more. Moving his hands further up he gripped her hips tightly and moved them under her to grab at her ass, pulling another moan from her. They kept up the lip work as she felt his hands reaching under her shirt but her nerves got the better of her. Breaking the kiss she sat back on his thighs and folded her swollen lips whilst looking down.

"I'm sorry I-"

"Hey, don't apologise." He rolled her off of him gently and let her lean into his side as they watched the credits of their movie rolling up the screen. He knew she was nervous and desperately didn't want to pressure her, he was content just being like this. When the time was right, it would happen. He was sure of it.

Back upstairs she had no care for the mess she looked, or whether she'd embarrassed herself last night. Wiping yesterday's mascara from her tear stained cheeks she tried to hold back the urge to cry. She was so good at it usually, like, not one person had a clue what the hell was on her mind most of the time and to think she was close to spilling to Nicki yesterday, she shook her head in disbelief. This was so wrong. What was even the point? She felt as though her life was going to be like this forever. That she'd have to feel like this forever. Closing her eyes she breathed in and out slowly, controlling the tears as she did every day. She'd numbed herself. The alcohol? It didn't help her problems, it just let her escape them for the night but the next day it would be the same shit again. It sounded ridiculous aloud but in her mind and in theory she felt like she needed the alcohol in order to be liked. Otherwise she was just Mia, go a step further and take her makeup and she'd lose her identity too. Then she really was nothing. Nobody knew though. Nobody could possibly notice either, how would they? She had her face trained to look happy when she needed to. It was an art really and she had it down to a perfection. But she'd be damned if anyone knew of her true intentions. It was planned. It would happen, and not one person will have even had the foggiest clue that it was an inevitable transition she would make. Having always thought about it, she never guessed that she'd even consider. She had done other things to punish herself but they didn't stop her from feeling the way she did. This would though, she just knew it.
