Some Alone Time (1)

The lights dimmed signaling the start of his show. It was dark with a few blue colored lights showing and the music faded in the background getting progressively louder as the time went on. Crowds of people gathered just to hear the sweet melodic voice of him every year for this special occasion. With his earpiece in and mic in his hand he approached the stage hearing the flock of fans gathered and cheered his name. He smiled wide making his dimples visible to anyone watching him. This was his third year doing this and the feeling of achievement took over him as he began the show. Performing and singing had become his passion and he loved every bit of it.

He was on a high performing some of his biggest hits from past and present. The fans were louder than ever singing every song. He was very grateful for this to have been the third year performing for the city he loved so much. The visuals of the huge screen above him emitted numerous photos as he rapped. 

Before he knew it, the beat dropped to Make Me Proud, one of his favorites on the album for several reasons. One being that it featured the love of his life. And two, because he wrote it especially for her. She knew it too even if she never spoke about it. She was very private with her love life which kept people guessing who she was with. Drake knew all too well what came with telling people about them, which is why he agreed with her. 

The beat dropped as he began rapping his verse while delivering it in a sensual way. The crowd reciting every word even when it came down to the chorus in which they got a bit louder. Before he knew it, there she was wearing some cheetah print leggings with thigh-high black boots and a black bra. She had a red leather jacket on with a semi-elongated back which covered her ass that also matched the red leather shorts she had over her leggings. She was stunning. 

Nicki came out rapping her verse to the song delivering it effortlessly as he watched her. It had been a long time since he had seen her last and he stood there taking her all in. I'm one lucky ass man, he thought to himself.

They both joined in together on the hook. Stealing glances as they told each other how proud they really were of each other's success. Drake gave her a kiss on her temple after complementing her how great she looked. The song ended and he pointed to the crowd before bending down on his knees and giving her the praise and credit she don't often get from her critics. 

After performing with him, she did one of her songs for the crowd. Beez In The Trap. She also had a friend of hers who was also featured on the song, 2 Chainz; to come and help her out. The crowd soaked her up. 

Drake always loved when she got love from his city. Even when she toured with Brittany last year, he made sure that they welcomed her presence because they were going to see a lot more of her there very soon. He had planned to buy a house in Toronto when things slowed down in his busy schedule. 

When they finished performing their song, Drake made his way towards them having giving them the stage to themselves as he watched from above his stage setting. He dapped up 2 Chainz  as she thanked him for his support tonight before rallying the crowd up when she called him her husband. He simply gave her a wide smile before he thanked her for even taking time out if her busy schedule to come and support him and the city he believed in. Drake made the crowd wonder even more when he referred her as his wife before they both embraced each other in a loving hug. He even gave her a kiss in front of everyone. Never wanting to let her go, he held her in that moment for as long as he could whispering small a "I love you" and "I miss you" for her ears only. He trailed his hands down her lower back tempting to grip her ass but thought twice about it. Nether one of them wanted to get things out of control on stage. The media sure would've had a field day with that one for sure.

After awhile, he let her go as she said her goodbyes and left off the stage. Immediately he got back to finishing his show knowing that she probably would be leaving soon. 

Nicki made her way back to the dressing room getting praised for her performance along the way. She decided to chill backstage with a few of her Young Money crew and team as she waited for him to finish the show. 

When the show was finally over and Drake cooled off in his private area backstage, she along with her camera man set out down the corridor. She was filming footage for her RE-UP DVD that would be dropping soon as a bonus for her fans all over the world. Once she made it to her destination, she walked in to find that it was pitch black inside. She knew he liked to sit backstage in the dark after one of his shows. It was a way for him to wind down after hard work and think to himself.

Drake heard someone coming in and looked up only to see her. He quickly got up and gave her another hug. He was happy that she came to see him one last time before she left.

"How are you?" she moaned as he held her tight, never wanting to let go. The darkness that surrounded them created the perfect disguise of their love for one another. Even though she had camera crews taping the whole thing, she was happy that they at least gave them some privacy even if it was for just a minute. She still wasn't ready to go public with their relationship just yet. "Oh I thought this was mom somewhere" she said breaking away from him the minute the lights were cut on. Drake looked in the direction  that her eyes were fixed to and found a camera in his face. Immediately noticing his change in demeanor she spoke.   "This is my- you know I'm shooting my footage, right?"

"Oh this you?" he questioned.

"This is my shit" she confirmed while wrapping her arms around him again.

"I was-I was about to tell them like yo son, but it's you so" Drake kissed her lightly on her forehead and gave her a squeeze before breaking away.

"Yeah" she paused. "I wanted to get footage with my-with my husband"

He took both of her hands in his before placing a kiss on each one. "You look amazing tonight" he commented while looking directly in her brown eyes.

"Thank you"

"You threw me off" she giggled at his remark. That was one of the things she admired about him. He always reminded her of how beautiful she really was.

"Shut up!"

"You look so good" he paused before continuing. "Thank you for coming"

"The show-I wanted to tell you the show was amazing" Drake placed both of his hands atop his head. He was exhausted.

"Thank you" he replied taking a deep breathe.

"The sound and everything gave me like the festival. I was just telling them it just felt so freeing"

"Thank you so much"

"I loved it darling, you should be so proud!"

"Did you hear them? Like..." he asked with his arms stretched forward in front of him.

"I didn't hear them because I had on my in ears" Nicki explained.

"Oh, it was crazy"

Smiling widely she asked, "Really?"

"Yeah it was"

"I took it off after because I cursed out the sound man. I was like you know what?" Nicki became a little disappointed at the mishap. She slammed her fist into her palm in frustration.

"Yeah"

"He didn't put my voice in my ear"

"Oh wow! Yeah cause your voice was quiet at first" Drake said demonstrating with his fingers.

"I wasn't really hearing shit"

"Wow! What a fit!" Nicki once again erupted in laughter at his comment. She knew she was teasing him with her outfit choice.  "Honestly, I'm like...sorry I keep going back to the outfit but like..." he apologized.

"No" she turned staring back at him. "Are you smoking hookah?"

"Yeah"

"Where is it?" she asked looking around to see where he had it set up.

"It's right there, look" Drake pointed to the table against the wall behind him.

"Oh my-"

"I got like three." he paused. "I got you your own"

"How do you do it?" she asked picking up the nozzle. Drake walked over to her and stood.

"I got to put the coals like on here then it starts cooking" he said demonstrating it to her.

"Yo you should of had it. We would've had some amazing freaking footage"

"I know! We would have had some moments you know" The thought of spending more time with her made him excited but it quickly faded knowing she had a plane to catch soon.

"Buhleedat"

"I heard you gotta leave right now" he stated while messing with the pillows on the couch next to him to hide his sadness.

"Yeah"

"Gotta go back on tour?"

"Well, we're shooting the video tomorrow and then I'm back on tour" she explained.

"What?" he asked. Drake folded his arms as he took in the last few minutes before she left him again. He hated being away from her. The last couple months were absolute torture for him. Them being on different schedules rarely meant that they get to spend time with one another.

"I am your skeezer" Nicki gave him a look that he couldn't resist but he had to. The twinkle in her eyes made him even more disappointed. She always found the most subtle ways to get him worked up and every time it worked.

"Oh nice"

"I'm really looking forward to it"

"Thank you for coming. You like made the whole night" His body language at that moment made her feel really bad. She wished it wasn't like this at all. Goodbyes were never easy for neither one of them.

"Shut up! Give me a hug" she opened her arms to give him one last hug before she left.

"Love you"

"Love you too, okay?" He walked into her embrace and hugged her tightly while giving her a kiss on the cheek and shoulders. "Keep on being amazing"

"Thank you"

"And thank you for inviting me" Drake held her hand and kissed it as she began walking away. She couldn't look into his eyes anymore because she knew that she was the reason he was hurting.

"Yes. Are you leaving right now?"

"Yes" she replied.

"Ok"

Nicki began walking out the room with her head hung low. This was ripping her apart now. The twinge of guilt began eating away at her. But what was she supposed to do? They both knew the situation would get like this sometimes which was part of the reason she wanted to wait to be in a relationship with him. They both were still fairly new to the game and had a lot to offer to it before settling down. But neither wanted to wait any longer. It was a constant battle to know who your soul mate was and yet, you couldn't be with them  because it was too early to risk everything that they had both worked so hard for.

Her team noticed a change in her demeanor as soon as she stepped foot inside her dressing room but they knew not to comment on it. Nicki slipped into something a little more comfortable for the flight. She had on a simple tshirt and sweats with ugg boots. A few minutes later, she picked up her purse and looked at them. 

"I'm ready" she said as she began to walk out the room. The all stood up and grabbed their bags walking down the long hall with her leading the way. 

When they got outside she was already seated in the black expedition waiting for them to place her stuff in the car. Moments later they were off headed to the airport. There were two cars; one with Nicki by herself and her team in the other. 

Nicki was on her phone checking her twitter feed to see what her barbz were saying about the performance when she came across a tweet that had her puzzled. She clicked on it to reveal a picture of her from the show. Not just any picture, it was a screen cap of Drake's Instagram. The caption read, "Can we have some time alone :) :) :)" She was shocked. Drake had never done that before. Of course, he always told the world how he felt about her but this was different. He was begging and pleading. Something he normally don't do in front of people let alone the world. She immediately felt bad. She never wanted him to feel alone but the truth was what it is. She had put her career over everything including him. A small tear fell from her eye. This was tearing her apart too but she always promised herself that things will settle down and she could spend more time with the people she loved dearly. 

Nicki looked out the window thinking about what she could do. Should she call him, text him, or just ignore the fact that she didn't just see it altogether. Neither one was an option. They probably would do more harm than good. It was right in that moment she made a split decision.

“Change of plans” she said to the driver. He looked in his rear view mirror at her making sure he had heard her right.

“Yes, of course Madame. Where are we headed to then?” he asked. She looked up from her phone at him.

“I’m going to Drake’s” she replied cheekily. The driver took another glance at her and simply nodded while turning around at her request.

“No problem” was all he offered.

She sat back in her seat biting her lip while still reading the comments under the posted picture of her. She couldn’t believe how selfish she had been to him lately. Of course he wouldn’t compromise her work with whining about how much he missed her. He understood work was work but that clearly wasn’t easy for him to deal with. Their careers often left little time for them to be together. Though it pained her to be away from him also, she couldn’t let her fans down. She sighed thinking of how two back to back tours were beginning to strain their relationship and she didn’t want that at all. I’m on my way baby, she thought to herself.

A few minutes later the driver pulled up to the entrance of the huge mansion after informing her crew that the should probably go to a hotel because they were spending the night here in Canada. Drake always came here when he was back home. It was their future home that they would occupy in the near future. But for now, he was renting it. She took out her card and ran it across the sensor as the gates opened almost immediately. The driver pulled up to the steps of the house and got out to open her door. She took his hand and stepped out looking up at his bedroom window. The light was on but the rest of the house looked dark. She thanked the driver and proceeded up the steps while taking her time in order not to bring about any notion that she was there. She wanted to surprise him for once during these past few months. She took the spare key he had given her when he first moved in the house and quietly unlocked the door.

Once inside, she closed it not making a sound and took off her shoes leaving them by the door knowing that they would cause too much noise. Barefooted, she crept up the stairway to his room. She heard shuffling as she pressed her ear to the double doors that signaled his bedroom. She took a deep breath and pushed them open with both hands. And there he was lying on the lounge chair looking at pictures of none other than her. He looked up instantly hearing someone enter as he was caught off guard. He couldn’t believe who was standing in front of him. He blinked his eyes making sure he wasn’t hallucinating. When he opened them again she was still there smiling widely at him. Bright, beautiful almond shaped eyes stared back at him. He was in awe before snapping back to reality and hopping to his feet.

“Onika?” he said astonished to see her.

“Surprise baby” she said walking over to him, giving him a warm embrace. She pulled away and glanced up at his towering figure. “You’re surprise aren’t you?” she asked looking up at the expression on his face. He simply shook his head and she smiled while he hugged her body close never wanting to let go.

“I am” he stated simply while kissing her on her neck making her close her eyes remembering earlier events that happened after the show. She let out a soft moan.

“Why are you here?” he asked breaking away from her. “Aren’t you supposed to be flying out tonight?” She put her finger up to his lips to shush him.

“One question at a time baby” she whispered softly before continuing. “I saw your post on Instagram and felt horrible, so I had to come spend some time with you”

“Onika you didn’t have to-“she shushed him once more with her finger.

“I wanted to” she said rubbing her hand up his chest feeling his rock hard abs. “Baby I’m sorry I’ve been ignoring you”

“Don’t be sorry baby. I know work calls. You don’t have to explain” he said looking her in the eyes as his hands remained on her hips.

“Yes I do. Baby listen to me” she paused for a minute then continued. “All I do lately is work and I never have time for you anymore. I really need to find a balance because I’m afraid I’ll lose you one day. You know how stubborn I get sometimes. When someone calls for me to do something I just jump up and do it not thinking about us. It took for you to post something to get my attention and I feel horrible looking back at all the signs. Sometimes you would call and I would be so wrapped up in meetings and other stuff that I ignore you and that’s not ok. Love is a two way street and lately between us it’s one way. My way. It’s not fair to you and I just want to say I’m sorry” she hung her head as a tear rolled from her eyes. She was ashamed of herself. Drake lifted her head with his finger and wiped it away while giving her a passionate kiss on the lips. He pulled away and looked at her. Her face was held with pain and regret.

“I accept your apology baby. Just know that I will always be here. You don’t have to worry about losing me because only one woman has my heart and that’s you. Please don’t feel bad. I hate seeing you like this.” She looked up at his hazel eyes and cracked a smile.

“I love you Aubrey” she said hugging him tight. They stayed like that for what seemed like hours but it was only for a few minutes.

“I love you too Onika.”

After awhile they both pulled away from each other and locked eyes. Nicki was shyly biting her bottom lip while caressing his toned arms.

“Remember what we were doing backstage at OVO Fest before the light came on?” Drake smiled raising his eyebrows and licking his lips.

“Mhmm” he nodded gripping her ass firmly in his hands bringing her closer.

Drake closed in on her so quickly that she was caught off guard. Quickly, he cupped her chin firmly in his hands. He looked intensely into her eyes. She was so captivating to him that he stared at her, he was in awe. Nicki stared back at him speechless as she inhaled his perfume. The smell of Sexual Panther filled her nostrils. He smelled so good. She smirked looking up into his hazel eyes.

"Why do you have that on?" she asked while cocking one hip to the side. Drake smoothed his hand over his head. A clear sign that he was nervous.

"Because I was hoping you would show up after I posted that picture" he confessed.

"Oh so you just knew tha kid was coming, huh? Pauz" she giggled. He gave her a smirk. "You lucky I like your ass playboy or you would be walking around with blue balls for a month!" Drake immediately frowned causing her to burst out laughing. 

“Promise me that you won’t ignore me like that again” he said pleadingly. “I can’t function without you”

Nicki stared at Drake for a moment. His piercing eyes connected with her and she couldn’t help but to search his eyes to see if he was lying or not. After a few moments he gripped her face so tightly in his hands as to get rid of any doubt she had about him. She felt no fear. She knew that he would never hurt her. The desperation in his facial features was unmistakable.

Looking up at him once more she spoke firmly. “I promise. I won’t ever do it again you have my word.”

Their faces merely inches apart, they stared at each other in a face-off. As seconds past with neither of them saying a word, Drake covered her lips with his without warning. He kissed her deeply and pulled her eagerly toward him. Nicki’s breath was taken away by the intensity of his advances. She had to admit, she liked it when he did that. The months of being away from each other only made their love for one another grew even more. Nicki wrapped her arms tightly around his neck pulling him closer. She never felt so alive. Her intensity matched his as they went at each other seizing the moment they were locked into. Without warning she pushed him away to catch her breath. Drake fell back onto the chaise. She smirked trying not to laugh at his expression. Nicki pulled her white t-shirt over her head and flung it to the floor. He watched amazed by her figure as she took off her boots and pulled down her sweat pants leaving her clad in her pink thongs and bra to match. She knew he was enjoying the show she was putting on for him. His facial expression said it all.

Little did she know, he was a lion waiting patiently for the right opportunity to attack his prey. As she motioned to unclasp her bra, he pulled her onto his lap and gripped her hungrily. Not giving her a chance to finish what she started.

Drake slid his hands along her back as he whispered in her ear. “That’s my job” he said kissing on her neck. His words sent chills down her spine. When he finally unlatched her bra and threw it on the floor with her other articles of clothing, he began stroking her breasts as she straddled him. His hands seemed to know just how to make her succumb to him. It was the perfect squeezing and caressing. He bit on her ear followed by her lips as she did his. Their lips seemed to lock together like pieces of a puzzle. Their kisses held a tale of love, discovery, pleasure, desire, fear and forgiveness all wrapped up into one. She felt safe in his arms. Before long his lips explored every facet of her body, sucking and tasting on her on the most provocative manner. Her moans soon followed involuntarily giving his ego a boost. She clutched his head, running her fingers through his soft curls pulling him closer. She was desperate and it was likewise with him. Drake tore at his belt buckle trying to release his member from its captivity as his rock hard shaft pressed against his jeans. She felt him underneath her and looked down as he freed it. Nicki reached down and grabbed it in her hand. She began stroking it slowly teasing him as she grinded onto him. She knew that this would drive him wild and she was right. His face tensed up a bit as he sucked in a deep breath.

“Damn girl” he managed to get out. She smiled at him as she took him into her mouth pleasing him. He placed one of his hands on top her head as she began sucking, biting it all while stroking him. He could feel himself losing it at any given moment. His eyes closed as he tilted his head back in complete bliss. Nicki began teasing the tip of his erect, rigid member with her tongue and that drove him up the wall. His eyes shot open. “Shit” he mumbled. She smiled at this reaction still sucking him dry. He was nearing his orgasm but he held it back through clenched teeth. “Fuck” he whispered. She heard him. He then pulled her hair out of it ponytail. He watched it cascade all around her face. He couldn’t take much more of her teasing. Suddenly, he got up. His heads held her firmly as he walked over to his bed and gently laid her down.

Nicki knew it was his turn now as they both moved to the bed. He pulled her panties off her body and began pleasing her sensitive parts with his tongue. She laid there getting all of his attention. His tongue worked wonders on her. She would never tell him that though. Moans started escaping her lips as he continued to please her. They were music to his ears. She could feel herself nearing her climax as she bit her lip ferociously. “Sssss” she hissed rubbing her hands through his curls once again. He took one lick of her clit. “Aubrey” she called his name. It was followed with more moans as she couldn’t gather what she wanted to say to him. Her brain couldn’t process words at the moment.

“Yes baby?” he softly whispered sneaking a quick glance of her. She had no words for him. He smiled kissing her lips while inserting a finger into her. “Oh god!” she gasped. She felt herself dripping. He licked up every bit of her as her juices kept flowing freely. In an instant, he swiftly regained his standing position on the side of the bed. Pulling out a dresser on the nearby stand, he retrieved a gold wrapper. Once again, he assumed his position between her legs which were hanging off the bed. She stared at him not making a sound but hypnotizing him with her brown eyes. He was lost in her gaze when out of nowhere she snatched the wrapper from his grasp and threw it on the floor. He furrowed his brow wondering what she was doing. It didn’t take long for him to figure it out though.

“We don’t need that” she said knowing he was confused by her actions. He looked at her even more confused. She cocked her head to the side, “You wanted a family. Am I right?” she questioned sounding a bit perplexed. He didn’t answer. All the times he begged her to be the mother of his children she shut him down every time. But now she was sitting here ready and willing to accept that title. A flood of emotions erupted in him. He attacked her lips causing her to fall back onto the bed. He climbed on top of her giving her sweet sensual kisses before plunging into her silky wetness.

Nicki felt an immediate rush as all her senses responded to him. She was engrossed in pleasure. His strong hands squeezed her breasts as he stroked her sensitive spot. She met his thrusts swirling her hips beneath him which caused his face to fall into complete ecstasy. His lips parted as he let out a groan. “Aubrey” her voice called once again.

“Yes” he paused. “Yes mami?” he whispered softly, searching her eyes for a response.

“Papi…this feels…so…good” she managed to get out.

“Yes mami,” he whispered again so confidently. “Feels…so…damn…good”

His deep baritone voice in her ears made her creamy. She rocked her hips in circles, then back and forth. She wrapped her arms around his toned muscular shoulders and torso. His back muscles were so well defined and his arms encircled her tightly. Their arms, hands, legs and mouths were meshed together in perfect harmony. He suckled her breasts, alternating between sucking them, her lips, her tongue, her neck, and her shoulders all while leaving passion marks distinctively all over. She knew she would pay for them later but right now she didn’t care one bit. Nicki felt herself building up to a fever pitch inside. Drake felt it too, and he watched uniquely contorting her face into a look of pure surrender. Nicki looked him dead in the eye as she came for the second time tonight. He watched her face, her eyes narrowed, lips parted, hair a beautiful mess all around her. He loved to see that expression on her face and he kissed her again, their tongues glued together and their breathing erratic.

Nicki came some more, kissing his neck, his face, and sucking his beautiful face. Drake grabbed a fist full of her hair on his hands making her head tilt back. With her breathing erratic he kissed up and down her neck hungrily.

"I'm not done with you yet" he whispered in her ear sending shock waves down her spine. He quickly wrapped his arms around her before getting up and placing her on the nearby dresser. She knew that she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.

The next morning Nicki woke up first. It was in the middle of the day and she was till tired from their love making session which carried on into the wee hours of the morning. She stared at him snoring loudly next to her. He was knocked out. After the night that they just had she couldn’t blame him. His arm was securely wrapped around her naked body as she drew small circles onto his heaving chest. She wanted to stay like this for the rest of the day but she knew that wouldn’t be happening because she had a plane to catch in a couple hours.

She gently broke away from his embrace and walked to the bathroom not waking him. She did her morning rituals and turned on the shower setting it to the perfect temperature. While she waited for the steam to cloud the bathroom, she glanced at herself in the mirror. Examining herself fully she noticed the all the passion marks he left on her body. There were three on her neck, two on her chest, one on her stomach and countless others on her legs, thighs and arms. Not to mention the huge mark on her shoulder. “Damn you Aubrey!” she cursed under her breath. He had definitely left his mark on her. She knew she would have to find a way to cover them up before her show. She sighed and turned around to walk into the shower when she hit his rock hard abs. She looked up and saw him smirking at her.

Drake bent down to her. She didn’t know what to say at the moment but she had to admit he looked extremely sexy with nothing on. She bit her lip taking him in. “You said sumthin’ mami?” he asked in a sexy tone. Nicki shook her head no. He smiled and kissed her lips softly. He knew exactly what she said. He looked to the shower that was already started. Drake picked her up and placed her over his shoulder before walking into the shower. She didn't even fight with him because she knew that she wouldn't win. He was too strong. Nicki giggled as he placed her down and shut the shower door with both of them inside. This nigga got all the stamina! I'm clearly in for it again, she thought before he crashed his lips onto hers with the water flowing down his back.

They pulled up to the airport moments later to find that her team had yet to arrive. With her flight departing in twenty minutes, she sulked back into the passenger seat. She wasn’t ready to leave him yet but she had to. He looked at her. The slight pout she wore was cute to him. He had to admit this was one of the hardest things to do in their relationship. Leave. Drake cracked a smile as she looked at him. Her brown eyes locked with his hazel ones not saying a word. He chuckled to himself at how she was acting before leaning in a giving her a soft peck on the lips. Looking at her for a moment, he paused before kissing her again. Nicki held his face with one hand as they lip locked for a few more minutes. Neither one was paying attention to the world around them. They were so wrapped up in each other’s kisses that they didn’t realize someone was approaching them. A loud knock on the window brought them back to reality. It was her friend Candice.

“Umm, you do know that our flight is about to leave right?” she asked. Nicki rolled down the window to greet her friend.

“Bitch don’t be knocking on my man window like you ain’t got no sense. Y’all are the ones who are late!” she scolded. “Give me a damn minute and tell Lauren to bring me my suitcase that have my underwear in it.” Drake silently laughed and shook his head while watching the scene. Candice looked at her funny scrunching up her face.

“Why the hell do you need that?” she questioned then figured it out. “Ugh ugh, y’all just nasty! You mean to tell me that you not wearing underwear? Where’s ya underwear Nic?”

“Can you just do what I ask you to do damn!” Nicki said getting annoyed with her questions. Candice kept badgering her and Nicki looked at Drake but he just shrugged. Nicki rolled up the window ignoring her friend. She leaned in and finished kissing Drake before they were rudely interrupted. Candice called Nicki but she was so glued to Drake’s lip that she just ignored her. She finally stormed off to do what she was asked to do.
