"Fareeeee! That feels so good! Oh my GOD!"

He was hitting spots she didn't know were there and she loved every bit of it.

"You like that huh?"

"Yeeeessss! Please don't stop."

After about 20 more minutes he stopped and smiled at her while wiping his hands.

"Thank you for that massage Safaree. It felt so damn good!"

"No problem but Nic..."

"Yeah?"

"If anyone heard us or saw you right now, they'd think we were having sex...or about to."

"Oh... yeah..."

They laughed at the situation and she put her clothes back on. Her body was relieved and relaxed right along with her mind and heart.

It's now March and it has been about 2 months since they became close friends. They both caught feelings for each other but neither said anything for fear of rejection. Everyone could see their feelings... everyone but them.


At school


"Faree come on! I gotta introduce you to MY people since almost everyday I'm meeting another one of your friends..."

"Well you never said anything."

"Cuz I don't have to nigga. Now hurry up!" She exclaimed as she pulled him down the hallway to the cafeteria.

"Nic... as many times as we've walked into the cafeteria together, we've NEVER been stared at this much."

"Well that's cuz I got a surprise for you." She kissed his cheek and pulled out two lunches. "I made you lunch so you don't gotta go up there."

Aw man... she tryna kill me already... He closed his eyes and said a silent prayer for his health then smiled at her. "Thank you Nic. Where are these friends of yours?"

"Here they come now. I'm exciiiiteeedddd!!!" She bounced in her seat while looking at the group of people walking towards their table."

"Waddup Nic" said a kinda small guy with dreads.

"Hey Waaayne!" She looked around the group noticing one person was missing. "Heeey... Where's Baby?"

"He had to go home but he'll be here later."

"Oh okay. Well yall this is Safaree. Faree these are my friends, Wayne, Shanell, Twist, Chuckee, my twin Gudda, my nigga T Streetz, Mack, Drake, Millz, and Tyga. You know how I rap and sing? Yeah well thats what we do in Young Money. I'm the newest member." She beamed as she told him.

"Nic that's AMAZING!"

"I know right! That's not all though. It's a record label too..." he stared at her with large eyes. "Yeah... I got signed." He cheesed at her then picked her up and spun her around making her laugh loudly. He put her back down and hugged her tight. They simultaneously thought: It feels perfect in his arms. It feels perfect with her in my arms. "I am so proud of you Nic. That is... WOW!"

Wayne whispered "they might as well kiss. They prolly love each other. Little soft ass niggas." The rest of the group laughed lightly before agreeing... all but one: Drake.

"Yall gon eat? Sit down if you want. I'm hungry and Nic made me food."

She beamed at his 'readiness' to eat her food and sat next to him. "I completely forgot!"

Shanell shook her head and smiled "Cute asses." Nicki flicked her off then laughed.

"Yoooo Nicki is this mad good!" Safaree said right before he shoved more of the spaghetti and macaroni and cheese in his mouth.

"Awww! Thank you! I know"

"But no... this is good as fuck!"

"You doubted my skills nigga?"

He didn't reply and everyone busted out laughing. Nicki rolled her eyes with a smile and started eating her food.



"FAAAAAAAAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"Wassup Nic?"

"Carry me?"

"But you got working legs just like I do..."

"Pweeeeaaaasssseeee?" she asked in a baby voice with a pout

"Man fine. Where you gotta go?"

"To the field. We got practice."

"I'm heading to the field too. You lucky." he said as he picked her up bridal style.

"Yeah like you weren't gonna do it anyway."

"Word? How bout I drop you off right here and keep walking?"

"Fine then little nigga."

"Ain't nothing on me little, little girl." Nicki raised her eyebrow at him and he acted like he was gonna drop her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him. Safaree smiled down at her and kept walking.

"I could get used to this." he whispered.


Nicki ran over to Safaree before he went into the locker room.

"Hey Faree! You wanna come over my house once you're finished?"

"Sure. You got a ride home?"

"Yeah. My mom finally let me drive my car"

"Alright. I'll meet you there."


"Hey Safaree! Onika just got home. She said wait on her bed... or something like that."

"Okay. Thank you Mama Carol. It was nice seeing you."

"You too." He nodded his head politely before heading to Nicki's room. He sat on her bed and listened when he heard her voice from the bathroom.

 "Ha... she's singing one of those old cheesy love songs in the shower. Adorable."

About 30 minutes later Nicki walked out of the bathroom listening to music with a towel around her and her hair dripping down her back, completely oblivious to Safaree on her bed. She got her clothes and sat on her bed without looking up.

Safaree saw her come of out bathroom and looked back at his phone. He felt the bed shift so he moved over so she'd have room then went back to his game. Out of the corner of his eye he saw something pink fall. He looked up at Nicki seeing her naked. His mouth dropped as his eyes unconsciously roamed her body. Shaking the dirty thoughts from his mind and adjusting the growth in his pants, he covered his eyes and tapped her making sure she was aware of his presence.

Nicki removed her earphones and looked in the direction she was tapped. When she saw him, she quickly jumped up and wrapped her towel back around herself.

"OH MY GOD! Safaree I apologize oh my God oh my God oh my GOD! I deadass forgot you were gonna be here."

 "It's alright Nic. Calm down."

 "I feel so stupid. Wow. I'll be back." She sighed and went back into the bathroom shaking her head.

 "My best friend... the boy I have a major crush on... just saw me butt ass naked. He probably thinks I did it on purpose... like I was throwing myself at him... like I'm one of them hoes at our school. I feel so fucking STUPID! FUCK!" She kicked the bathtub with the bottom of her foot then plopped down on the toilet seat cover.

 Safaree heard the end of her rant. "Me? Think she was a hoe? Man nah... if only she knew I liked her a lot. Maybe love... I gotta start writing my feelings out again."

 Safaree POV(in his journal)

We acted as if the incident didn't happen and spent the rest of the day chilling talking watching movies... just the regular. I really really REALLY like her. I honestly do say I'm in love with her... in love with Onika Tanya Maraj. I've never felt this deeply for anyone. I have been in love before though. This is like 100 times stronger than that. I don't know how she did it. How she made me fall so deeply in love with her in such short time. She's just... perfect. It's weird cuz it hurts to be away from her. Like I'm missing a piece of me when I'm not with her or talking to her. I don't get it. I really am in love with Onika Tanya Maraj... wow. My little angel... Of course I wouldn't tell her this. Just to get rejected and shut down and mess up our friendship... nah I'm good. I miss her now. Her beautiful face. Her smile. Her ugly yet adorable laugh. Her in general. This is serious... wow. I clearly need to sleep. Good night journal. 

 -Safaree.
