There was a light knock at Nicki's dressing room door as she finished getting herself ready. The granted the person access and he walked in before closing the door behind himself. He just watched her for a moment as she ran her fingers through her hair before turning to face him. "Hey," she said with a smile gracing her face.
"Hey," he replied back as he walked closer to her. "Thank you again for tonight."
She opened her arms and her walked into them before just holding her in an embrace. "You're welcome baby, anytime." He kissed her cheek before moving out of the embrace.
"So I heard you're going back to Paris?" He asked curious about her next move.
She bit her lip as she thought. "I mean I was going to, but I don't think it's necessary anymore. I think I'm just gonna head back to the states, finish up the album. I've got a few video shoots lined up as well." She grabbed her coat and put it on as she went about her explanation. "I've got to start planning for tour as well, especially if I want it to be up and running before the end of this year,"
He just took a seat on one of the stools and nodded in understanding. "Yeah you've got so much lined up, I'm surprised to managed to fit me into your schedule," he said with a chuckle.
"Don't be like that, you know I'll always have time for you," she said with and eye roll as she picked up her phone and looked at the notifications.
"So you gonna act like the last 2 years didn't happen?" He asked and she just rolled her eyes again and replied to a text.
"Yes that's exactly what I'm gonna do," was her simple response and he knew he'd pushed a button.
"Who you texting?" He asked as he moved closer to her before reaching for her phone that she moved out of the way before he could grab it.
"That doesn't concern you," she locked her phone before looking up at him. "I'm a single and independent woman right?"
He just shook his head with a smirk. "So you gonna let us make this more than what it is?"
"I think you'd have to take me out on a proper date first before I can agree to all that," it was now her turn to smirk.
"I have a few more shows but I should be back in LA by the end of the month, I'll organise a real nice date for you then." He took her free hand and placed a kiss on the back of it, causing her to blush slightly. "Just us, no one else." He winked at her and she chuckled.
"I'll be waiting for you to send me these details. But for now, I need to get packing and prepare to leave London," she moved away from him and picked up the last of her stuff, double checking she hadn't forgotten anything.
"Not even a hug goodbye?" He asked, pretending to be hurt, causing her to once again roll her eyes, before giving in to his wants. "Keep rolling those eyes and they're gonna drop out." She just frowned at him and turned to walk away without giving him his hug causing him to follow her, and voice his apology with a chuckle.

Nicki's phone buzzed as it sat on the bedside table, indicating the new message. She reached over and unlocked it.
I'll pick you up at 7 tonight -Aubrey
She smiled at the message before sending a response.
What's my dress code? -Nicki
Evening dinner. -Aubrey
She kissed his teeth and put her phone back on the bedside table. She had 4 hours to prep herself and so found it would be best if she made a start on picking out a dress to avoid the stress later...
