#Extra

So this was supposed to be in chapter 18 but it didn't seem to fit it so I edited it and make it into an extra part instead. Excuse any mistakes :) 

A few weeks later...

"So there's this party on Saturday, and we should go to it"

"I have to study, I can't"

"But I was invited so I have to go but I don't want to leave you so you have to come too"

"Yeah I get that but,"

"No ifs or buts about it, you're going with me and that's final. Be ready at 9"

"I love when he's demanding" Nicki said to herself when Drake was walking away. He smirked to himself as he closed her bedroom door behind him.

"Bye Charlotte" Drake shouted before he exited the dorm.

Charlotte sighed. She had to get rid of her feelings for Drake, it was wrong and she knew it. How could she have feelings for someone else's boyfriend? Her dorm mate's boyfriend.

"Christina, what can I do about it?" Charlotte asked her friend.

Christina got comfy on Charlotte's bed. "Go after him"

"I can't do that to Nicki. She's my, she's my friend"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if she's your friend or not. When you want a guy, you get him so you have no excuse. We're going to that party and you're getting him"

"How are we going if we aren't invited?"

"I'll get us in, don't worry"

Saturday came and Nicki was still debating if she should bail on the party or if she should go to the party. By 7pm, she was in her room surrounded by books, her laptop and notebook. Her hair was in a bun on top of her head and she had a pen behind her ear.

"Fuck, this is stressful" Nicki exclaimed. She went out of her room and went to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. While she was drinking, Charlotte was searching for something to wear.

"Hmm, too slutty" She threw the dress on the bed.

"Aah, perfect" Charlotte walked over to the mirror and held her dress in front of her. "He's going to forget all about her"

Nicki washed her glass and went back to her room to study. It got to 8pm and she could focus anymore. "I'm going to the party, this can wait till tomorrow"

She went to the bathroom and started the shower. She went to her bedroom to get her towel from the bottom of her bed and walked back to the bathroom. After closing the bathroom door, taking off her clothes and fixing her bun so no hair was left hanging out. Nicki stepped into the shower.

She grabbed her luffa and layered it with her favourite soap, lavender blossom. She took her time making sure every part of her was covered in soap before she rinsed herself off and did it all over again. Once she was sure she was clean, she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself. Nicki looked around checking if she had left anything then took the short journey to her room. She dried herself and put on her lingerie. After she plugged in her dryer, took her hair out of the bun and began to blow dry it. Once her hair had been blow dried and brushed, Nicki looked through her wardrobe for something to wear. A dress caught her eye and she knew that was the dress she was wearing to the party.

The dress had long sleeves with an iona baroque print all over. It hugged Nicki's body, showing off her figure and her forming curves. It was long enough to be presentable and since it was mid length, she could show off her legs. Nicki searched for a nice pair of heels and chose a pair of black ones. The heels had a black shining rim around it and were about 6 inches tall.

After getting dressed, Nicki got out her flat iron, pulled it in and quickly straightened her hair. Once she had finished and unplugged everything and put everything away.Nicki grabbed her makeup bag and started to do her makeup. She put on some foundation, pink lipstick, a bit of blusher and used her eyeliner to make a cat eye effect. She took her phone off charger and checked the time. 9:15pm.

Where in hell is Drake? 

"Telling me to be ready at 9 and his ass ain't even ready" She mumbled to herself.

She sighed and dialled his number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Be ready at 9" She mocked in his voice.

"Shit, its 9 already?"

"No, its not" Nicki said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, I'll be there in 5"

"Okay, bye"

"Bye" Nicki hung up. She decided to go and wait in the living room for him and was met by Charlotte and her friends.

"Oh I didn't know we were having company" Nicki smiled.

"Oh hey Nicki, we're just having a little girls night. Where you off to?"

"Some party, I don't know who's party it is but Drake's making me go with him" She shrugged and Charlotte bit her lip when she heard Drake's name. 

"I'm supposed to be going to a party tonight too, it might be the same one'

"Maybe," Nicki's chat was cut short when someone knocked at the door. She walked to the door and opened it.

"Hey" Drake said and kissed Nicki.

"I need the toilet and I need to get my phone, be right back" Nicki ran to the bathroom, did her business and got her phone from her table. When she came back to the living room, Drake was sat on the couch between three girls who were flirting with him.

She coughed and brought the attention away from them. "The party" Nicki said dragging the letter 'y' in party.

"I didn't forget" Drake said and got up from the couch.

"Bye" Nicki waved quickly before walking out of the dorm.

"Bye ladies" Drake winked and waved. The girls giggled and said bye back to him.

Drake caught up to Nicki and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her into him. "What's up with you?"

"Nothing. Can you let me go?"

"No can do. Not until you're not mad at me"

Nicki let out a deep breath. "How could you do that to me? Flirt with other girls when I'm stood right in front of you"

"I didn't!" Drake said louder than intended. 

Nicki got out of Drake's grip and turned to face him. "I saw it with my own eyes"

"Why would I flirt with them whores when I have a girlfriend that I love very very much?" 

Nicki shrugged. "There we go, I wouldn't dare cheat on you or attempt to. I don't want to lose you... Again" 

"You won't. I'm sorry for getting mad over nothing"

"Its okay, I forgive you" Drake smiled and kissed her cheek.

When they got to the party, it was crowded. People were dancing, drinking, just having a good time. Drake held Nicki's hand and led her through the crowd so they could get a drink and find their friends. 

"What drink do you want?"

"Something strong but make sure it tastes nice too" Nicki was handed a red cup and she took a sip of it. She made a face then smiled. "Didn't expect it to be so strong but its nice"

"Good good, can I just have some henny?"

"Drake, that's a strong drink and we're underage"

"Babe, its fine. I swear"

Nicki brushed it off and drank some more of her drink.

The party went on and Nicki was feeling relaxed and was dancing with some of her friends. She was whining her hips and laughing. Drake was watching her from afar.

"Your girl looks like she's having fun" Damien said.

"I hope she is" Drake took another sip of his drink. He was talking to the guys, drinking and letting his mind go travelling. Charlotte and her girls arrived and immediately she went searching for Drake. She found him by himself in the kitchen of the house.

"Heyyy Drake"

"Hello" Drake slurred slightly. 

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah but my head is banging"

"Aww that's sad, do you want me to help you?" Charlotte asked and Drake nodded. Charlotte told him to follow her and they went to the bathroom and she locked it behind them.

"What are you doing?" Drake asked.

"Getting rid of your headache, silly" She pushed him down on the toilet and unbuttoned his shirt. She kissed his neck softly and pulled on his belt, undoing it.

Drake felt like something wasn't right so he tried to push her away but Charlotte was not letting down. He got a bit angry and forcefully pushed her off him.

"I was about to make you feel better with my pussy and you go and ruin it" 

"I knew you wanted me. I should have told Nicki before" Drake got up from the toilet and stepped over her.

"Drake! Don't go!" Charlotte shouted. "Please don't tell Nicki"

Drake shook his head, unlocked the door and went back down the stairs. He looked around the room for Nicki but couldn't see her through the crowd, he stopped one of his friends and asked if he had seen her.

"Yeah, she's in the backyard"

"Thanks" Drake got himself a glass of water before he went outside. Nicki was sat on a chair talking to some other people.

"Nic,"

"Hey baby" Nicki shouted all giddy like.

"We should get going" 

"Noooo, I'm having fun" Nicki whined.

"I'm glad but we have to go"

"Okay" She frowned and stomped off back into the house. Drake went after her and found her in the kitchen.

""Come on, let's go" Drake sighed. Nicki told him to carry her and that's what he did. Drake carried her through the crowd, to the door, out of the house and into the taxi he had called. 

Nicki was way more drunk than Drake was, she had had 4 drinks and Drake had 2 drinks and his water. When they got back to college and to Nicki's dorm, Drake helped her get undressed and put on a big shirt. He got into bed with her because she wanted him to stay. In the morning, Nicki woke up and was feeling like shit.

"Ergh. What happened to me?" She said as she climbed out of bed. As she stretched, she was hit by a sick feeling and rushed to the bathroom to get everything out of her system.

Drake got up while Nicki was being sick, he heard her and went to the bathroom to hold her hair. After being sick for about 30 minutes, Nicki finally got up and grabbed some tissue so she could wipe her mouth. 

"Thanks" She said before she grabbed her toothbrush, put some toothpaste on it and brushed her teeth.

The day went on and Nicki got her work done with some help from Drake. He decided not to tell her about what happened between him and Charlotte but he did have a chat with Charlotte and told her that he does not want her and for her to stay her away from him unless he's over at the apartment. Charlotte apologised and tried not to get in his way. 

18. New Starts

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you your graduating class" All the students that were graduating threw their hats up in the air celebrating. As everyone was walking away, they were met by their family.

Someone placed their hands over Nicki's eyes. "Guess who?"

"Hmm, let me guess. Big hands, deep voice, smells a bit funky, is it Drake?"

"I didn't think you would guess correctly and I do not smell funky" Drake lifted up his arm and smelled his armpit.

"I was kidding, now put your armpit down" Nicki told him.

"Anyway... Congratulations my beautiful graduate" Drake said pulling Nicki into his arms, hugging her and kissing her forehead.

"Thank you" Nicki smiled when they released from each other. Her parents walked over to them with Jelani behind them and Micaiah ran up to Nicki and she lifted him up, placing him on her hip.

"Congrats you little bugger" Jelani said.

"Thank you, brat"

Carol nodded at Micaiah and he turned and said to Nicki, "Well done for gradupating"

Nicki laughed at his mispronunciation and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you"

"How does it feel to finally graduate from high school?" Robert said.

"Good, really good"

"Me and your dad are very proud of you" Carol said patting her shoulder. Nicki smiled at her parents.

She put Micaiah back on the ground after she said, 'I'm going to talk to my friends, I'll be back in a few"

Nicki walked away and noticed her friends with the other graduates. "Hey!" Nicki said joining in their conversation.

"Can you believe we don't have to come to this groggy school?"

"Yes I believe it!"

"Graduation came really fast!"

"I know, it’s like yesterday I was a freshman"

They were talking for ages before Drake came over and disturbed them. "Sorry for disturbing y'all but Nika, we have to get going"

"But babe, we're having a great chat"

"If you want to miss your own graduation party then okay" He walked away. Nicki quickly hugged everyone and said goodbye before running after Drake.

~

"Go on, say a speech" Her mother nudged her, Nicki sighed before walking up to the stage.

"I don't like doing speeches but I'll try. Erm, high school was a good experience and I'm happy I stuck with it instead of dropping out. I was honoured to have graduated with honours but I would have been able to do that without the teachers I had and my parents and my families and friends support" Nicki said and her parents gave her a nod.

"Also I would like to thank a special guy in my life, and I'm sorry for putting you on the spot right now but I love you Aubrey" Nicki laughed and smiled. "I said more than I said in my actual graduation speech" Everyone laughed as she left the stage.

"Oh, I got you a little gift" Drake reached under the table and pulled out a small bag. He put the bag on the table.

"I wonder what it is" Nicki reached inside the bag and pulled out a card. The card had a graduation gown and cap on it with a message saying 'you graduated?". Inside the card were the words congratulations and a short message written by Drake.

Hey baby, you did it! I'm so proud of you and I love you <3

"Thank you, I love you too" Nicki gave Drake a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't thank me yet, there's something else in there"

Nicki raised an eyebrow and reached into the bag again and pulled out a small wrapped box.

"You didn't have to, you know?" Nicki said ripping the wrapping paper off.

"I know but I wanted to" Drake shrugged.

Nicki finally pulled off all the wrapping paper and placed it back in the bag. She was left with a silver box.

Ohhh, what could it be?

Nicki pulled the ribbon off of the box and lifted the top off. Inside the box was a silver necklace.

"It's beautiful"

"So you like it?"

"I love it. I don't deserve you!"

I feel the same about you. "Don't get soppy on me, let me put it on for you" Drake carefully took the necklace from the box and fastened it around Nicki's neck.

Nicki grazed the pendent on the necklace with her finger. "I'm never taking this off!"

Drake smiled and Nicki smiled back. "I'm never taking the ring you gave me off either" She said and lifted her hand to show him she was wearing it.

~

Drake was spending the night over at Nicki's. His and her parents both agreed that if they stayed over at each others houses, they would have to stay in separate rooms. Nicki was chilling in the spare room with him for a bit.

"You never told me what university you are going to" Drake said.

"I wanted to wait till I actually went so I could surprise you but,"

"What do you till you went? You got into,"

"Yep!" 

"Shut up! You didn't!"

"I did" Nicki went to her room to get her acceptance letter. "Look"

Drake pulled the letter out of the already open envelope and read it. "Me and you together. Now I know I'm really going to enjoy it" He hugged her and they fell backwards on the bed.

"Babeeee, get off me" Nicki laughed while trying to push Drake off her.

"I'm never letting you go" Drake said in a deep voice which made Nicki laugh even harder.

An hour later, Drake still had a tight hold on her. She had found comfort in his arms and had fallen asleep.

A knock was heard at the door. "Sorry for disturbing you but," Carol stopped what she was saying when she saw her daughter peacefully sleeping in Drake's arms.

"Fallen asleep has she?"

"Yeah. She was pretty tired after the long she had" Drake said slowly getting up and removing his arms from around her. 

"Well I'm going to bed now so make sure you get some sleep. Goodnight"

"Goodnight" Drake smiled. He carefully lifted Nicki up from the bed and carried her to her bedroom. He pulled the cover back with one hand and laid her down under it then pulled the cover back over her.

"I love you, sweet dreams" He kissed her forehead and turned off her bedroom light before he walked back to the guest room.

~

"Welcome! We are happy to have you here. I will give you a quick guide of the campus and then you can go see what dorms you are in" Nicki squeezed Drake's hand gave him a cheeky grin. They followed the guidance counsellor.

After the guide around the campus, they went to the office to get their schedules and find out what dorms they were in.

"Onika Maraj" Nicki told the secretary. The secretary looked through the files and gave her her schedule and dorm number.

"Here you go honey" She smiled.

"Thank you" Nicki said politely and walked away. Drake walked to the secretary after and asked for his schedule and dorm number. After he got his, he and Nicki compared schedules.

"We have 2 subjects together and that's good" Drake said.

"I guess, I'm going to miss you" Nicki frowned.

"You'll be fine, I'll see you everyday and we can still hang out. I promise I will never let anything come between us" Drake pecked her lips and they went their separate ways.

~

Nicki pulled her suitcase along the long hallway and stood when she got to her dorm. She opened the door and shut the door behind her. She looked around and saw a beautiful designed living room. The walls were painted red with black carpet.

A great contrast.

There was a three-seater cream coloured couch, a 42 inch plasma TV, a large flower canvas on the wall behind the TV and a wooden table in front of the couch. Nicki went to see the bedrooms, she was surprised to see that she didn't have to share a room. Her bedroom had a double bed, a reasonable sized wardrobe, a chester draw and 2 bedside tables. After unpacking her suitcase and adding some things to make it seem more roomy, Nicki decided to send a text to Drake.

Meanwhile, Drake pulled up to his dorm and was greeted by two boys.

"Sup? I'm Damien" Drake gave him a dap.

"Andre" Andre dapped drake. "You are?"

"Aubrey but I go by Drake"

"Why don't you go by Aubrey?"

"I don't know, just do but can I put my stuff away?"

"Sure man" Drake dragged his suitcase to the only room left in the dorm. It wasn't big but it was a good size for Drake. The room was nicely decorated; he had a double bed, a sliver wardrobe, a bedside table and what seemed to be a computer desk. He took his laptop out of his compartment in his suitcase and placed it on the computer desk and put all his clothes on the hangers in his wardrobe, as he was doing that he heard his phone beep.

*Hey. What to go for a bit to eat? I'm bored and hungry. 

He chuckled before replying. 

*You're always hungry but yeah. Tell me what dorm you're in and I'll meet you there in like 10 mins.

Drake fixed his room to his standards before going back to the living room. He started talking to his dorm mates and realised they had a lot in common and knew they would get along great.

"So do you have a girl?" Andre asked.

"Nah just a few sidelines, you?" Damien said.

"Did, got bored of her. What about you, Drake?" They both turned around to stare at him.

"Yeah, I got a girl" Drake smiled, thinking about Nicki.

"So what she like?" Damien asked.

"She's beautiful, funny, a little bit crazy but I love her" 

"Cool cool, does she have a name?"

"Yeah, obviously"

"And it is," Andre gestured on.

"Oh, Nicki"

"You got a picture?"

Damn, these guys are nosy.

Drake shook his head and took his phone out his pocket. He opened his picture section and chose the photo of Nicki smiling. He handed his phone over to Andre and Damien.

"Man, she is fine with a capital F. I would," Damien started to say before he remembered that she was Drake's girlfriend and it would be rude to say.

"You're right, she's a hottie. If I met her before y'all dated maaaan" Andre said and Damien dapped him in agreement.

"Alright then, can you have my phone back now?" Andre and Damien looked at the picture once more time before giving Drake his phone back.

Drake saw he had a text. 

*Okay baby and I'm in 16. See you then.

"20 minutes ago" Drake said aloud and received strange looks from Damien and Andre. "Doesn't matter" He waved them off.

He ran grab his wallet and went out the door. When he got to Nicki's dorm, he heard giggling behind the door. He knocked once before he heard someone shout for him to come in. He walked in and saw Nicki talking to a girl.

She turned around and smiled at him. "Hey"

"Hey, you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let me get my bag" Nicki ran to her room leaving Drake and the girl alone. The girl looked at Drake seductively and licked her lips at him, she was about to say something to him but Nicki returned to the room. 

Nicki saw how awkward the room was. "Oh how rude of me. Charlotte, this is my boyfriend Drake. Drake, this is my Charlotte, my dorm mate if that's the right term" Drake and Charlotte shook hands.

"It's nice meeting you Charlotte, we should get going Nic"

"Alright, see you later Char" Nicki called as she walked out the door behind Drake.

"So where we eating?" She asked as they were walking. 

"Are there any food places around here?"

"Why you asking me?"

"It beats me" He shrugged.

As they were walking out of the campus, Nicki spotted a diner and they decided that was where they were going to eat.

The food wasn't that nice but they enjoyed being in each others presence. "So how's your roommate?"

"You mean roommates, they're alright. They think you're hot" He said and had another mouthful of food.

"They think I'm hot huh? How sweet" Nicki smiled. Drake raised an eyebrow at her. "Why you looking at me like that?"

"So when I say you look nice or whatever, you say thanks and brush it off but when other people say it, it puts a smile on your face"

"I'm used to you saying it so I just accept it but its different when others say it, it surprises me. No one else except from you or my family say I'm pretty and stuff, I always thought I was ugly"

"You really think that?" Nicki nodded slowly and looked out the window. Drake got up and went around the booth to sit next to her. "Look at me" Nicki did as she was told.

"When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change because you're amazing just the way you are"

"Bruno Mars, really?"

"Ay, don't be mean to my man Bruno! He speaks the truth but do you get my point?"

"Yes I do"

"So you're never going to say things like that again, are you?"

"No, I promise"

~

"Sit wherever you want for the time being" Drake took the seat next to Nicki. "Hello freshmans! I'm not sure if you know but I'm Mr. Parkinson and this is your first official English class in college!"

The class clapped. "So since you're all probably getting used to your surroundings so we're going to have an introductory session then I'll tell you what we'll be doing for this rest of the school year"

Mr Parkinson looked around and spotted Nicki and Drake looking at each other and laughing. "Starting with you, young man"

"Me?" Drake said, pointing to himself.

"Yes you, stand up and introduce yourself"

Drake stood up and introduced himself. "Hi I'm Aubrey. But no one calls me that, I go by the name Drake and I'm here to study so I can be a business man" He sat down afterwards. 

"That's great, now what about the young woman next to you" Nicki stood up and sighed.

"I'm Onika but everyone calls me Nicki and I want to be a fashion designer" Nicki said and sat back down.

"What a good choice, you look like you could be a fashion designer" Mr Parkinson smiled. "And next person"

~

At lunch, Nicki was waiting for Drake in the cafeteria. He was outside and saw her looking around. He walked the other way so he could walk behind her. He touched her shoulder and she jumped out of skin.

"Shit! You scared me" She said trying to regulate her breathing again.

"Sorry"

"Its fine, let's get something to eat. I'm hungry"

"Alright" They went to the que and got something they could take out into the yard. In the yard, the place was full of students.

"Where we going to sit?" Nicki said.

"What about..."

"Oh look it's Charlotte over there, let's sit with her" They walked over and took seats around the table Charlotte was sat.

"Hey" Nicki said.

"Oh hello Nicki, hi Drake" Charlotte smiled. 

Nicki and Drake ate their lunch and chat with Charlotte but Charlotte focussed on Drake most of the time. He felt a bit uncomfortable and stopped his dormmates looking lost so he invited them over to the table. 

"Are we going to sit together at lunch all the time?" Nicki whispered in his ear.

"Yes, I promise"

Drake kept that promise. They sat next to each in the two lessons they had together, met up at break when they could and sat together at lunch, they practically never left each others side.

I posted this yesterday but I didn't mean to, I was editing it and I clicked publish instead of save :| I had a bit of writer's block with this chapter but I finally got it done. Excuse any mistakes or whatever :) I wrote chapter 19 before I finished this one haha, that should be posted next week or the week after.

17. Holding Fire

My real exams are finally over, I still have my mock exams though but here you go :)

I honestly don't want to do this but it seems like the only way to save this relationship right now.

Nicki was at the local cafe waiting for Drake to arrive. She desperately wanted to tell him over text but she had always been told saying this face to face is best.

Just as she was about to call him, he walked into the cafe. After he spotted her, Drake walked over to her and went to kiss her but only received her cheek.

Now I know something is going on.

"I told you to come here because I have something I really need to tell you" Nicki started to say and Drake bit his lip waiting for her to explain what she meant.

"Just know these 4 months we've been together have been amazing and I love you very much"

Why is this so hard?

A waiter came over and disturbed their conversation. "What drinks would you like?"

"I'll have an orange juice"

"And I'll have a coke, in a can please"

The waiter wrote their orders down and walked away.

"As I was saying, I've been thinking. I feel like we've been going a faster pace than I expected we would, I need to focus on getting my mind right for a bit"

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"No, this is not a break up talk. I want to take a break from this relationship and everything really"

Why is he acting like this? I don't want to do this either.

The same waiter came over and placed their drinks in front of them then walked away again.   

Nicki took a sip of her orange juice. Drake had a sad facial expression that made Nicki feel even worse.

"Drake I," Drake didn't let her finish speaking, he picked up his coke and walked out the shop.

Nicki wiped away the tear that was making its way down her face. 

What have I done?

~

When Nicki got home, she didn't say anything to anyone. She ran straight up to her room and slammed her door behind her.

"What's wrong with Nicki, mummy?" Micaiah asked.

"I don't know baby but I'll find out" 

About 30 minutes later, Carol had made dinner and was about to call everyone to the table.

"Could you go and get your sister for me?"

"Yes" Micaiah walked up the stairs and knocked on Nicki's door. Nicki was on her bed surrounded a bunch of tissues she had used to wipe away her tears.

"Come in" he opened the door and peaked his head through. "Mummy said dinner is ready"

"Okay, give me two seconds" Micaiah waited outside her room for her.

After Nicki had put on a bit more make-up to make out like she hadn't been crying, she walked out her bedroom.

"What are you still doing here?"

"I wanted to wait for you" 

"That was nice of you" He put his hand out for Nicki to hold and they walked down the stairs.

"Hurry up you two! Dinner's going to get cold" Nicki let go of Micaiah's hand and he ran to the table and she speed walked the rest of the way.

~

After they had finished eating, Nicki helped clear the table while Carol washed up the dishes.

"When you finish, go sit down I want to talk to you" Carol said.

After wiping the table, Nicki went to the living room to wait for her mum.

"Are you going to tell why you ran in so upset?" 

"I... Drake..." Nicki's words got choked up and she couldn't finish speaking before she burst out in tears.

"You and Aubrey broke up?" Carol asked getting her a tissue.

"No but sort of" Nicki tried saying but her tears were stopping her. After calming down a bit, Nicki laid her head on her mothers lap and explained what happened. Carol ran her fingers through Nicki's hair as she spoke.

"If you think that is what you needed to do then,"

"But what if it wasn't the right thing and I just ruined the best relationship I've ever had"

"If you really love him like you say you do and he really loves you, everything will work out"

"I hope so" Nicki whispered.

~

A week later, Nicki and Drake had still not got back together. 

"So Nicki, we were thinking what if we go on like a quadruple date"

No. This is the last thing I want to happen right now.

Nicki was playing with the ring on her finger then looked up and said. "Who are the couples?"

"Me and Jerome, Candi and her man, Lauren and her man and you and Drake"

"Wait, who is your man?" Nicki asked Candi.

"And who is your man?" She asked Lauren.

"Dominic, it happened after prom" Candi shrugged.

"Willy. He's had a crush on me for I don't know how long but I decided to give him a chance" 

"Oh, that's good" Nicki sighed.

This date is going to be fabulous... not.

~

The week went by fast, Nicki still did not want to go on the date but she knew she had to. Her friends had no idea that she and Drake were separated.

"Mum, I'm going on a date tonight"

"With who?"

"TT, Candi, Lauren, Dominic, Jerome, Willy... Drake" Nicki mumbled Drake's name.

"Well have fun and don't be back too late"

"Don't worry, I won't" I don't want to stay out late anyway.

Nicki put on a simple outfit for the date. 

"I hope this is not to over the top"

After saying goodbye to her family, she got in her car and drove to the location of the date.

~

When Nicki parked up, she noticed Drake's car coming into the car park.

I don't want to have a conversation with him cause I know it'll end badly.

She grabbed her handbag, locked her car and went to inside the restaurant. Unknowingly to Nicki, Drake was feeling the exact same way.

Please don't make them make us sit together because I won't be able to handle it.

After Drake walked into the restaurant, he noticed everyone had sat down and there was one seat left. Next to Nicki.

Drake was slightly annoyed but didn't let it show. He walked over to the table and smiled at everyone. During the meal, Candi noticed how Drake and Nicki did not really talk to each other.

She text TT to see if she knew what was going on.

* What's going on with Nic and Driz?

After texting her, Candi whispered to her to check her phone.

* I don't know but it's making me feel uncomfortable. Whatever it is, they need to sort it.

When it came to ordering their desserts, the girls could not take it no more. They told them what they wanted to order and they went to the toilet and dragged Nicki with them.

"Okay. What is going on?" TT asked.

"Nothing" Nicki said fiddling with her hair.

"You don't have to lie to us" Lauren told her.

"I didn't want to make it obvious but you guys are bugging me so, me and Drake are on a break okay?!"

"Why? You two were so happy together" Lauren said.

"Yeah that's what I thought" Candi agreed.

"We were, I just needed a break you know?"

The girls nodded. "I'm ready to get back with him but I don't think he wants to talk to me or date me at the moment"

"Just try, the way he looked at you when you were talking show he still cares about you"

"And I'm sure that ring he gave you, yes I know he gave it to you, still means whatever it's supposed to mean"

"What kind of ring is it?"

"A promise ring, he said he promises to love me forever"

"See, you'll get back together. Don't worry"

"I honestly have the best best friends a girl could ask for" Nicki opened her arms so she could hug them all at once.

They said and had a group hug. "We know" 

While the girls were in the toilet, the boys were having a similar conversation.

"How could you and barbie aren't talking?" Dominic asked.

"Why do you call her barbie?" Willy asked.

"Because she looks like a barbie doll, not like fake and plastic, I mean she literally looks like a barbie doll. Anyway back to my question"

Here I am discussing my relationship problems with my ex's friend’s boyfriends.

"We're on a break"

"No man. What fo'?"

"She wanted to, I didn't"

"Bro, you need to fix that before another nigga gets her"

If she ain't mine, I don't want her to be anyone else's.

Drake knew they had to talk about it but didn't want everyone to be there when they did.

The girls returned and ate their desserts. Afterwards, they paid the bill and made their way ho to their cars. Nicki waited for Drake to come out so they could talk, she waved at her friends as they left.

Drake had gone to the toilet after they paid, when he came out the restaurant. He immediately spotted Nicki stood next to his car. 

Drake walked over to his car and over to her.

"We need to talk" They said at the same time.

"You go first" Drake said.

"Okay. Over this last week, I've been thinking about us and our relationship. I've really missed you and I regret taking this break but it helped me realise a lot"

"I was sad that you said you wanted to take a break. I'm sorry for walking out as well. I realised a lot too, I've seen many girls trying to get with me this week and none of them has compared to you. I only want you and if you're willing to back with me, I will do everything to prove that too you"

"You really know how to make me feel special. I knew from when we started dating that you were the only one I wanted and I could tell you only wanted me too. I'm sorry and I love you" Nicki left the tears that was trying to escape do so. Drake got his finger and wiped them away.

"I love you too" Drake opened his arms and Nicki walked straight into them. Drake kissed her head and Nicki was inhaling his cologne.

When they pulled away, Nicki looked up and locked Drake in with her eyes. Drake wanted to break it but it was unbreakable. Simultaneously, they both leaned in for a kiss and just like in the movies, sparks flew.

Did they make up too fast? I wanted to put a bit of drama or whatever into the story so yeah. I was originally going to split this into two chapters but since there are only 3 chapters left, there was no point. Hope you like it :)
