Grind Time...

“O.k. Mr. Samuels we are all done here. We have put more cameras in the back of the house and on the sides. The security alarm is now installed.” The representative from the security company said. Safaree had been watching them like hawks since they arrived at 8am it was now 10am. They had a pretty big house so he understood it would take time. Nicki had been glued to his side since the day they discovered someone had been in their house.

“If you would like I can show you and Mrs. Samuels how to punch in the security code you have chosen and how to operate the security room.” The man said. Nicki and Safaree looked at each other and smiled at the man’s mistake.

“No it’s okay me and Mrs. Samuels have been watching very closely and have asked your men every question we could about the security room. I think we will be fine.” Safaree said looking over and winking at a bashful Nicki. She giggled.

“All right then thank you for choosing our homeland security. We should be all packed and out of your way in no time.” Chuck said reaching out to shake Safaree and Nickis hands.

“Thank you sir.” Nicki said shaking his hand. The man turned and walked away. She turned to SB. “Mrs. Samuels huh?” Nicki said leaning into Safarees chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked in her eyes.

“Yeah someday baby.” He smiled pecking her on the lips.

Nicki was a little uneasy about his statement, she had just started to get use to him kissing her and now he is talking about marriage. Safaree felt her tense up.

“Relax babe, I’m not proposing anytime soon.” He said showing thoese pearly whites she liked. She smiled.

“Come help me pick out an outfit for the VMA performance.”

“Babe it’s not until next month.”

“So I liked to be prepared in advance.”

“Nic you know you’re are going to change your mind by then. You are so indecisive, you never know what you want.” He said. Nicki frowned at him. What did he mean I never know what I want. Did he mean with clothes or was it more behind that statement.

“Fine don’t help.” She went into her room and entered her closet. She pulled out a couple of possibles that her and laurien had bought a couple of months back. She walked back into the room and didn’t notice Safaree sitting on the chase until he said.

“I don’t like that green one.” Nicki jumped.

“When the hell did you get in here. You scared the hell out of me. “I thought you didn’t want to help me?” Nicki said taking the green back to the closet.

“I never said I wouldn’t help I just asked why you were worrying about it now.” Nicki walked out with a short blck dress.

“Nope you cant wear that.” Nicki looked at him.

“Why not Safaree?”

“Because its to short Nicki.” Safaree said it like she shouldn’t even have to ask that question.

“I wore a pink one sort of like this 2 weeks ago and you didn’t have a problem with it then.” Nicki said confused.

“You were not my girl then. And I did have a problem but it wasn’t my place to say anything.”

“So you think its your place now?” Nicki asked joking with a straight face. She wouldn’t wear it if he didn’t want her to but she didn’t want him to know that. She thought it was cute that he got jealous. Safaree got up and walked to her.

“You damn right it is.” He took the dress from her hands and kissed her cheek. “I don’t want niggas looking at you and getting ideas that will never happen.” He put the dress back in the closet. Nicki just laughed and tried to think of a dress that was a little longer than the one he just took from her. All of her dresses were about the same length.

“Safaree I don’t have a longer dress and you kno that.”

“Well figure it out babycakes.” He walked by and slapped her on the ass.

“Ugh that means I have to wear pants. Which I haven’t bought in ages.” Nicki sat by him on the chase biting her lip thinking.

“Well get on your little computer and do that online shopping you do so well.” He said chuckling because he knew he was being difficult but he wanted to know if she would actually take his feelings into consideration. He knew whether or not she was in a dress, skirt, or pants men were going to look at her. She was sexy in anything.

“Fine I’ll look for something later babe.” Nicki said laying her head on his shoulder. SB was shocked she never really paid attention to his opinion before. He liked relationship Nicki. She took him serious.

“Okay. So what do you have to day?”

“Umm, well I have to call Wayne and see if he got that verse that I sent over for his album. Got to call and check on mom and Caiah. Oh and I have rehearsals wit Laurieann for the VMAs. She said she wanted to start early because I am challenged in the dance department.” Nicki laughed because she knew it was true. She had never been a dancer. She did her little hip whine and then she sat down.

“Yeah she has a point.” Nicki elbowed him in the side.

“I’m just saying I don’t want my babe out there looking a mess.” He tried to clear it up. Nicki side eyed him.

“Yea whatever.” Nicki wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest and relaxed.

“What time is that suppose to happen?” Safaree asked.

“At 3pm.”

“Um Nicki its 2:45 now.” Nicki popped up.

“Oh shit I’m gonna be late.” Safaree watched her go into a frenzy running around the room looking for her dance attire. Once she gathered it all she started taking off her clothes then stopped when she noticed SB was staring at her intently. “Um Safaree.”

“What?” He said still sitting and staring.

“I have to get undressed, so can you give me a minute?” SB gave her that look of Didn’t-I-Just-see-you-Naked-two-days-ago?

“Nicki I’ve seen every inch of your body.” Nicki Blushed.

“I know but I don’t want you to see me naked anymore until we decide to go there again.” Nicki said.

“Fine Nicki. I will see you down stairs.” He began to walk out the door and close the door. At the same time Nicki took off her shirt SB stuck his head back in the room and caught a glimpse of her in her bra. “Damn you look so good.” Nicki threw her shirt at him.

“Perv!” She yelled while laughing. Safaree hurry up and shut the door.

JJJ

“Nicki you are moving your foot on 3 and not 2 get it together baby girl.” Laurieann yelled over the music to Nicki. Nicki felt like dropping to the ground and surrendering. She had had enough. It had been 3hrs of non-stop moving. She smiled that made her think back to a couple of nights ago when Safaree had her against the wall moving in and out of her that had been around the 3^rd hr of their love making session but she was not getting the enjoyment she was getting that night. Her feet, legs, and back hurt right now. Nicki tried to keep up with the girls. This damn song was too fast.

“I’m trying Laurieann.” Nicki yelled back at her.

“Don’t get feisty with me miss missy. What was it you told me at last year’s VMAs? It’s not going to be me out there looking stupid if you mess up. So I suggest you get rid of the tude and get it together.” Laurieann told Nicki. Nicki knew she was right. She just wanted to go home. “One more time ladies then we are done. Make it count Nicki.” Nicki nodded. She started up the beat to Where Them Girls At. Nicki had to get it right this time. “5, 6, 5, 6, 7, 8, boom kack” Nicki hit it the move right on the beat. “Yass Nicki there you go, give it to me hunnie.” Three minutes later Nicki hit her final pose with a “Bitch I know I got it look.”

“You got it baby girl. I knew you would. Now go home and keep running through it on your down time. You gotta keep practicing it so that the night of it will look just like what I just saw.” Laurieann coached Nicki.

“Okay Laurieann. I got you. Thank you for doing this for me again I know I’m not the fastest learner when It comes to dance.” Nicki said breathing hard. Laurieann waved her off.

“Girl you are better than a lot of the people I choreograph for.” She smiled and hugged Nicki. I’ll see you next week.” Nicki laughed.

“Yes ma’am.” Nicki turned and walked to get her things and went outside of the dance studio which looked like more of an abandoned warehouse and hopped in her car and drove back to her house. As she is driving and sees a Smoothie King and decides she wants a Mango and strawberry smoothie. She pulls up and looks in and sees it’s just a the girl behind the register and decides it won’t be a hassle so she gets out and goes in. She takes off her shades and looks at the menu. The girl had walked back to the front and looked up to see a costumer then she looked a little closer and noticed who it was. Nicki hadn’t noticed her. The girl screamed which made Nicki jump and scream as well. Nicki grabbed her chest.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you but it’s you.” The girl said Bright eyed. Nicki thought oh great a CF. She tensed up. She needed to get her stuff and get out of here.

“Hi. How are you?” Nicki said.

“I’m fine HB, how are you?” The girl said now with tears in her eyes. Nicki immediately felt at ease. This was no CF this was a Die Hard. Nicki exhaled.

“I’m fine Barb. Thirsty as hell I just got back from rehearsals with Laurieann for the VMAs.” Nicki said. “That explains my attire and why I look a hot mess.” Nicki looked herself over.

“Oh HB you don’t look a HOT mess.” The girl said. Nicki looked at her blankly and then started cracking up. That’s why she loved her Fans they kept it real wit her.

“What is your name Barb?” Nicki Asked.

“Shonda.” The girl said. Nicki thought I remember meeting someone with that name recently on the

tour.

“Have I met you before?”

“Yes I flew out to the Chicago show because I missed the one here. You gave me the Nic-name Care Bear.” Shonda said.

“Oh yes, I remember now. Am I following you on twitter?”

“Yea you are HB.” Shonda said and smiled sweetly. Nicki nodded her head. “So would you like something to drink HB?” Nicki had completely forgotten what she was in there for.

“Yes please. I would like a Mango Strawberry smoothie.”

“Large?”

“Yes.”

“You wanna get one for SB?” Nicki looked up at her from digging in her purse trying to find her wallet at the girl.

“I guess I should huh? I don’t want to share mines and that buffoon will want to get some.”

“Pauz.” Shonda said. They both laughed.

“Yes get him just a strawberry one. Large as well please.”

“That will be $13.65” Nicki handed her a 20.“Okay I’ll get started on them.” She gave Nicki her change. She turned and went to the back counter. Nicki put the money in Shondas tip jar along with another 20. 6 mins later she turned around and handed Nicki her drink. “Do you like it?” Nicki took a sip from the big cup.

“OMG yes Care Bear. This is what I needed.” Nicki closed her eyes and sipped some more. Shonda turned and made Safarees. When she was done she handed it to Nicki. “Thank you Barb.” Nicki turned to leave then she stopped and turned around. “I Know I’m funky but I want to hug you.” Shonda didn’t really care she was around that counter in no time. She made sure not to hug her to tight.

“I love you HB. And you don’t smell.” Nicki smiled.

“I love you back babe. I’m sure I’ll see you soon.” With that Nicki turned and left. She headed back to the house.

JJJ

Safaree heard the garage door go up. “It’s about time.” He mumbled. He watched Nicki walk through the door with her purse, dance bag, and two smoothies. He hadn’t had one of them in a long time. “Hey baby.”

“Hi Faree.” Nicki said walking into the living room and dropping her bag on the floor. She handed SB his smoothie. She sat next to him rubbing her shoulders.

“You okay Nicki?”

“No, my whole body hurts. She was not taking it easy on me today.” Nicki pouted.

“Aww pour baby.” SB said then kissed her on the lips.

“I’m going to go take a shower I’ll be back.”

“How bout I give you a full body massage?” SB asked. Nicki raised her eyebrow. The thought was very tempting but she knew as well as him that the outcome of it would not be good.

“Baby I’m fine. I just need a nice hot shower to ease my tension and I’ll be good.” Nicki walked off and went upstairs. Safaree was not going to make this easy for her. He walked right behind her and picked her up and put her on the bed.

“Let me just take care of you Nic.”

“Safaree you know what will happen. And besides I am funky”

“I’ll be good I promise. And you do not smell so stop.” Nicki didn’t have the energy to fight him.

“Fine Safaree but a massage is all you are giving me.” Nicki said and pulled her shirt over her head and laid on her stomach. He went and got his massage oil from his room. (Don’t ask why he had massage oil laying around. He’s a man that has needs. Lol) He came back and moved Nickis hair out of the way and started at her shoulders. He firmly started to work the oil into her skin. Nicki sighed.

“This feels good Safaree.” The tension in her shoulders seemed to melt away.

“I Know I got skills girl.” Nicki smirked. A couple minutes later she drifted off to sleep. Safaree noticed her light snores but continued to massage the rest of her body. When he finished he went and started her shower. He got her out some Pj’s and then woke her. He kissed her on her forehead and then her cheeks. He moved down to her collar bone.

“Hey watch those lips before you start something you can’t finish.” Nicki said groggily with her eyes still closed but laughed.

“I can always finish you betta act like you know.” He said kissing her belly button. She stopped him from going lower. “Your shower is running.”

“Then you better go catch it.” Nicki said laughing at her corny joke. Safaree rolled his eyes. He forgot how corny and goofy she was when she was tired.

“Come on girl with your corny ass.” He helped her up and into the bathroom.

After she was done she put on the clothes that he had left in on the counter. He must have come back in. He has freakin Ninja feet. I never hear him coming or leaving she thought. When she dried off and put her lotion on she went back into her room. No Safaree. She went into his room and he was sitting in bed with his pajama bottoms on with no shirt playing his game. He is such a big kid. She climbed in bed and got under the covers.

“Hey you.” She said looking up at him.

“Yes?” he paused the game and looked down. She poked out her lips for a kiss. He bent down and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He slid down in the bed and got closer to her. They rolled around in the bed for awhile while tongue wrestling then Safaree went to slid his hand up her shirt. Nicki stopped him.

“I’m tired babe. Let’s go to sleep.” Safaree shook his head in disbelief. He should have known he wasn’t getting the goods tonight.

He let out a sigh and rubbed his face. “Good Night Nicki.” She turned her back towards him and he pulled her close. He wanted her to feel what she did to him. And she got the message loud and clear as she felt his hardness against her butt.

“Goodnight Safaree.” She giggled a little.
