The Wrong Kind Of Love

Chapter 1...

(Okay guys, I have another idea for this story. ‘Love Never Fades’ was more like an oneshot. But here’s the new idea I have come up with. Don’t forget to read my closing comments!)

Tuesday

The sun was still not in its permanent spot in the sky just yet. The cool breeze from the early morning swiftly moved its way into the room. Nicki removed the covers then shivered and covered herself back up. The red duvet covers warmed her body as Nicki ran her fingers through her hair. She let out a yawn and blinked after wiping the sleep from her eyes. She looked left to right and stopped when she noticed her window was open. Nicki let out a sigh before quickly removing the covers to get out of bed. She quickly jogged over to the window and closed it and locked it. Nicki looked out and noticed it looked like it was pretty early in the morning. She had a photoshoot with Cosmo magazine and also a meeting to discuss the pictures and future photoshoots.          

    

It was only around 7:30 and her photoshoot was at 11. With it being so early, Nicki didn’t want to eat just yet, not only was it a little too early, but she simply wasn’t hungry. Nicki walked around her semi-messy room, bothered by the messiness. She looked over to the leather couch in the corner of her room where the TV was also placed. Half of her room was clean, the other half not so much. She would just have her hired maid, Mariah, clean it for her. Nicki walked her way to the closet, whilst picking up her different articles of clothing. The party last night got a little out of hand, but the main problem was that her bestfriend didn’t show. He promised, and Nicki was upset, but she thought over the things that Safaree was going through. His girlfriend of 2 years, that by the way Nicki couldn’t stand, and her little lamb chop, Safaree’s son, Cameron. She felt sorry for Cameron because he basically grew up without a mother. She wasn’t sick or anything, she simple didn’t care. Nicki felt that Safaree deserved better. He didn’t listen, he loved her, and what could Nicki do about that?

Nicki walked into her walk-in closet and swiftly walked way to the back. Nicki sat her outfit on the bed along with her shoes and made her way to the bathroom after placing her dirty clothes into the hamper next to the bathroom door. Nicki hummed a little tune as she turned on the shower and let it adjust to her temperature. Nicki unknowingly began to hum Weak by SWV. Nicki chuckled and began to hum random songs. Nicki disrobed and stepped in after feeling the water and agreeing with the temperature.

After Nicki stepped out, she wrapped one of her pink towels around her waist and proceeded over to the sink; she picked up her tooth brush, added the toothpaste and began brushing.

Nicki shivered as she stepped into her bedroom. She looked over at the window but then remembered she closed it earlier. She then walked over to the thermostat that was set on 72 degrees. Nicki turned up the heat setting it to a toasty 77 degrees.

Nicki heard a little movement downstairs but ignored it. She grabbed the baby oil from her bedside table and sat down on the edge of the bed. Nicki removed her towel and began to apply the oil to her legs first. She did this slowly. A loud bang from downstairs made Nicki jump, she wanted to go and check but with her not being dressed yet she guessed it was the maid.

Nicki began to hum once again and didn’t hear her door open.

“Nicki, you ready yet?” Safaree looked up from his phone and his eyes bugged. Nicki’s head shot up and quickly wrapped herself in her towel.

“Safaree, what the hell?!” Nicki exclaimed as she looked at him not quite being able to for words. Awkwardness swept over them as they remained frozen.

“Damn…” He uttered a little too loud as an image came to his mind of what he had just saw.

“Excuse me?”

“Nothing…”

“Yeah… nothing,” Nicki securely wrapped the towel around her and stood.

“Are you gonna stand there and stare at me, or are you gonna leave so that I can get dressed?”

Safaree remained quiet and left also closing the door behind him. Nicki’s mind wandered off as she thought about what just happened. Safaree, her bestfriend, just saw her naked. She wished she could have prevented this, but she couldn’t. This was the last thing that Nicki needed today.

Nicki walked downstairs and slipped on her sandals. She looked around and noticed Safaree sitting on the couch looking at something on his phone.

“Mariah, you don’t have to stay the rest of the day. I will be fine” Nicki handed her and extra hundred dollar bill for her extra hours.

“Thank you, Miss Maraj” She smiled before exiting through the front door. Nicki turned to Safaree, “Can we go?”

He nodded and stood, after grabbing her purse they were out the door.

Nicki tied her robe securely and walked over to her team.

“I have one more set of photos to do then we’re done here. It should take about 10 minutes.” Nicki informed them. Safaree sat down on the all-white couch and looked over at Nicki. He licked his lips as he looked over her curves that were very much visible even in a robe. He then moved up to her flawless skin. She had the most beautiful face that he had ever seen, but since he was in a relationship, he hadn’t really been happy.

Safaree broke from his thoughts when Nicki asked, “Why is she here?”

Safaree snapped his head around at the sound of his girlfriend of 2 years’ voice.

“Faree…”

Nicki rolled her eyes at her annoying ass squeaky voice that drove her crazy. ‘Why the hell did he invite her?’

Nicki watched them as they began to converse among each other, even though their conversation could clearly be heard.

“Why the hell are you here?” Safaree asked her.

“I missed you…”

‘Where the hell is Cameron?’ Nicki asked herself before shaking her head. What mother would leave their child just anybody?

“Where’s Cameron?”

“He’s with one of my friends”

In Nicki’s opinion, he gave her too many chances. She understood he loved her, but she wasn’t good for him.

“Safaree, come look over the pictures with me”

Nicki said with a smirk. She loved to get on Leah’s nerves because she always got a good laugh out of it. He nodded and stood up, but stopped when she grabbed his arm.

“So you’re just gonna leave me sitting here? Why every time she ask for something, you have to run to her? Honestly, she’s not worth it”

Nicki balled up her fist ready to kick some ass but was held back by Safaree. She was lucky, too.

“Hoe…” Nicki mumbled as they made their way over to the photographer.

Safaree looked at Nicki one last time as he put the car in park in her driveway.

“I need to grab my laptop.” He said.

“Whatever.” Nicki responded, not giving two fucks as to what he does. She was still upset about that bitch Leah.

As they walked in, Nicki made her way toward her room, unknowingly stomping her foot. Safaree grabbed her arm.

“What’s wrong with you?” Safaree asked, and this made Nicki even more upset.

“Like you don’t know…” She turned to face him, “Just keep your bitch away from me” She warned.

Safaree exhaled deeply and jogged upstairs to retrieve his laptop.

“You need to chill”

Leah said as she sat down on the couch and turned on the TV.

“What the fuck do you mean, chill? Why the hell are you coming home at 4 in the morning? What were you doing?”

Leah turned up the volume and Safaree snatched the remote.

“What the fuck is your problem? Our son is upstairs asleep”

She rolled her eyes and stood up and walked upstairs, still not paying Safaree any attention. She walked into the room and slammed the door. Safaree walked upstairs and into his son’s room. He looked in and made sure Cameron was still asleep. He was, so Safaree jogged back downstairs, grabbed his keys and walked out. He needed to get away for the night, but would be back by late morning. He needed someone to talk to and the only person he knew who would listen was Nicki.

Pulling up to Nicki’s mansion that was located on the outside of downtown L.A., Safaree entered the code into the lock outside of the gate and the gate swiftly opened. Safaree drove past the front gate and was met by a big house that looked to be about 3 or 4 stories tall. He parked into the driveway and got out. The lights in the living room were still on so he was guessing Nicki was still awake.

Safaree walked up to the front door and pulled out his key. He unlocked the door and opened it. He walked up a few stairs that led to the main living area. Safaree heard some voices so he stood in the archway leading into the living room. The person stood up after exchanging a few words with Nicki and walked out of the other exit door. He watched as Nicki sighed and ran her hand through her hair. She got up and jumped when she saw Safaree standing there.

“What the hell?”

“Who was that?”

Nicki looked around. 

“Who was who?”

“Nicki, don’t play dumb. Who was that man?”

Nicki rolled her eyes at his sudden urge to care about what she did.

“Why do you care? You left me, remember?”

Nicki stormed past him and into the kitchen.

‘I can’t stand him’

“Nicki…”

He tried grabbing her arm but she moved away.

“Why are you here?”

He looked at her and the look in her eyes. All there was’ was hurt. He hated that look and if he could fix it he would. He knew they weren’t on the best of terms right now, but all he tried to do was make up for all the mistakes he made when they dated 2 years ago. He actually thought that she would move on, but nothing could stop the love he had for her.

“I needed to talk to you. I can’t come and talk to my bestfriend?”

Safaree using the word ‘bestfriend’ made Nicki cringe. She hated to think that’s all they were. Don’t get her wrong, she loved that they were close friends, but she wished that they were more.

“About what…?” Nicki didn’t want to pressure the issue any further. The truth would eventually come out sooner or later.

“I need to get away from Leah for awhile,” He saw Nicki roll her eyes, but then he continued, “I was thinking that maybe you would let me and Cameron stay here for awhile”

Nicki pondered for a moment. She didn’t want to miss a chance to become closer to Cameron and Safaree. She didn’t want to say no, but this was something she had to think about.

“Please” Safaree begged.

Nicki sighed and smiled, “Okay, okay, stay as long as you want.”

Safaree kissed her cheek after they engaged in a loving hug.

“Thank you”

They pulled apart. “I’m going home tonight, but I’ll be back tomorrow, I just have to pick up some things”

“You sure you don’t want to stay the night, tonight?”

He nodded. After kissing Nicki’s cheek once more, Safaree hugged her and walked out. All Nicki hoped is that he didn’t give Leah all of his love, which in Nicki’s opinion, belonged to her.
