Crush

I. Quiet Storm

"I don't beat bitches up daily." Nicki wanted to laugh! Ming was a terrible liar.

"I beg to differ." Nicki said hearing Ming suck her teeth through the line.

"Whatever...but seriously how are you? I know you and jahjah hate storms." Ming asked, and Nicki could hear the genuity in her voice, Ming was a hothead but Nicki knew she had a weakspot for her, their mother, and brother.

"I'm cool as long as the power doesn't go ou—"A loud pop sound followed by the lights cutting off made Nicki stop mid sentence realizing just what had happened.

"Ain't no fucking way." Nicki whispered to herself getting up quickly, she pulled the phone from her ear to put it on speaker as she dashed to the kitchen to grab a flashlight, once it was on she proceeded to try and flip the kitchen light on, only it staid off.

"What! What happened?" She heard Ming yell through the speaker. Nicki ignored her and panicked running through the house trying to flip on any thing that required power, once she figured nothing was going to turn on she gave a defeated sigh and lifted the phone closer to her.

"The fucking power just went out." Nicki said slamming herself into the couch, she couldn't believe the luck of the draw that her speaking on it would make it happen.

"That's fucking crazy...but it might not have been because of the storm, I been telling Ma to get the damn fuse box looked at." Ming said, causing Nicki to slump back even further into the couch, she didn't know the first thing about fuses.

"I don't know shit about that." She felt defeated as hell And already felt the heat dampening her skin from the ac turning off.

"I know, but Beyoncé does." At the sound of that name Nicki's whole entire mood did a 360. She hadn't seen the older since the cooler incident, and that about 2 weeks ago.

She'd ran straight to room afterwards and didn't come out for the rest of the day, she lied and she said she didn't feel good but really she was trying to calm the raging hormones in her body.

"What's that mean?" Nicki asked, hoping her voice wasn't shaky, she had a feeling she knew what Ming was about to suggest.

"I can have her come over there and look at the box, it's gonna get hot fast in there and I'm not ready for you too die yet." Ming said, and Nicki knew that was her way of saying she wanted her to be okay despite how vulgar it sounded, but she didn't know if she could be around Beyoncé, she felt the sweat start to form on her brow, but right now the heat seemed much more bearable then the pretty eyed girl that was her sisters best friend.

"You don't have to do that I'll be fine." Nicki mumbled hoping Ming would drop the situation.

But Ming never dropped anything.

"Nah it's already done, I don't want you alone in that shit anyways, she doesn't live far, she can just keep you company until we're back." Ming pressed and Nicki knew she had no way out of this little set up now.

"I guess." Nicki said like she even had a say at all.

"Good. I'm gonna tell mom what's happening then call you back when Beyoncé's on her way." Ming said, and Nicki just sighed quietly not knowing how she was going to act normal around the girl she'd been crushing since forever.

"Okay love you." Nicki said.

"Love you too, call you back in a little bit, peace." Ming said before the line went dead.

Nicki sighed before chucking her phone into the loveseat, her heart hammering in her chest.

Beyoncé was coming over and there was nothing she could do about it.

And to think she thought the storm was the worst of her problems.

A/N

Okay first chapter complete.

How'd you like it?

I was surprised a lot of people had suggested crush for its own story, I didn't think it was all that and a bag of chips 😭

But it's here and I'm putting my best foot forward into it.

It originally had a part 2 but I decided to just continue from where I left off in part 1 if that makes sense.

The storm idea came from the freaking storm that we're currently having in NC🙄 I miss NewYork sooo much.

Predictions on next chapter🤔

Like, comment.
