Chapter 13

Safaree called back and heard faint moans and groans from Nicki’s end of the phone. Is she fucking serious? Fucking this dude with my baby inside of her? Didn’t she tell me she wasn’t fucking him! He became heated. He hung up the phone and got dressed.

“Marie, watch out for LJ. He should be getting home around 4.”

“Yes, Mr. Samuels.”

He rushed out the door and down to his car. He looked out to make sure LJ’s car didn’t pull up. He pulled out and raced down the highway to Nicki’s house.

Nas laid over a sleeping Nicki. He smiled at her beauty and her light snore. He kissed her lips repeatedly until he felt her kiss back. She grinned and turned over on her tummy. He took a peak of her backside and crawled under the covers and bite her ass cheek. She slapped him as she reached down to grab her cheek. He bit the other one then licked down her ass crack. Nicki jumped up and shook her head no. She looked over to her iPad blinking. She tapped it and it showed her the front porch of her house.

“What the fuck?”

“What?”

“Safaree’s at my house without LJ.”

She dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.

“Nic opened the fucking door.”

“I’m not at home! What do you want and where is my son!”

“So you fucking that nigga over at his house. Okay, let me go ask LJ where he lives.”

“What? Why are you doing all that?”

“I heard you two fucking yo! This morning you…”

“Look! Okay, yes we did, but I don’t have to explain my personal life to you just like you don’t tell me when you’re fucking Karen!”

“I ain’t fucked her in years!!”

Nicki threw her phone and started crying. Nas wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. I’m gone kill him.

“Nas, I love you, but I don’t think this is the right time for us.”

“But we just… Okay.”

“I’m so sorry.”

Nicki said picking up her duffle and things. She grabbed one of his tees and put it on then walked out the door.

Nicki rolled up in her driveway next to SB’s car. She got out and looked over at him sitting on the steps. She sighed not wanting to have a discussion bout what she was doing with her life.

“I don’t want you with any other dude, but me!”

“That’s fucked up seeing as you’re with Karen.”

“She’s my wife!”

“And he was my man! You think you’re the only one allowed to have a life?”

She snapped looking him in the face. He looked away feeling bad.

‘Look, I love you, but we aren’t meant to be and you know it. We would have been together if so.”

“We make love like we’re suppose to be together, you’re just scared.”

He said pulling her close to him. She didn’t say anything just shook her head. He lifted her shirt and kissed her stomach. The baby began to move around again. He smiled while kissing it again.

“Come on in.”

“Iight.”

She opened the door then disappeared into the house as Safaree made himself comfortable on the sofa. A good ten min later Nic appeared around the corner with a book. It was a baby blue book with LJ’s name on it. She handed Safaree the book and watched him read over it aloud.

“Safaree Lloyd Samuels Junior.”

“Were you always going to name him that?”

“Yes cause I knew he was yours.”

“How were you so sure.”

“That night was the first time I had ever felt butterflies in my stomach, it felt magically when I was with you, but then you left.”

She said trailing the last part. He felt a sharp pain in his heart when she wouldn’t look at him as he tried to talk to her.

“Look, I had to leave. I was married and that night when I seen you come from that bathroom in lingerie I had to have you. You sparked up something in me that my wife could never do. This is why I need you, I can’t afford to let you go.”

“But you need to. I’m not going to be your sideline and I don’t want you to leave her for me. She loves you more than I ever will.”

“So you saying you’re not in love with me like I am with you.”

Nicki looked him in the face and shook her head no.

“No I’m not in love with you.”

Safaree grabbed the book and stormed out the house. Nic watched as he backed out the driveway and sped off. Fuck!
