Nicki stood between his legs as he ran his hands up and down her thighs. "Don't bother getting dressed." He stated more than asked before placing a kiss on her flat stomach. She just rolled her eyes and placed her hands on his cheeks, forcing him to look at her.
"You've had me naked for the majority of the day, I'm getting dressed." He groaned at her statement, causing her to giggle. "Stop it. When are you gonna make me dinner? You promised you'd cook for me," she said with a pout. He leaned in and placed more kisses on her stomach without replying to her question. "Aubrey stop."
He looked up at her. "What do you want me to make you?" He asked her, causing her pout to form a smile. He just chuckled before returning to place his kisses but was stopped when she moved away from him and over to his draws where she helped herself to a pair of his boxer briefs and one of his t-shirts.
"Surprise me," was all she offered as she put on his clothes. He just watched her with amusement slightly painted on his face. "What?" She asked, confused by his behaviour.
"You have your own closet full of clothes and you even have your own underwear draws yet you chose mine," he said with a smirk.
She just gave him an innocent smile back. "I'm sure you don't mind." And at that she made her way over to his bedside table and picked up the MacBook that sat there.
"What're you doing?" He asked as he stood and stretched in nothing but the grey sweats he was wearing, allowing Nicki to admire his upper body muscles.
"I promised my fans a Ustream." She picked up her phone and headed for the bedroom door. "One that I'm now late to because someone couldn't keep their hands off me,"
He just rolled his eyes before turning off the lights and following her down the stairs. She headed into the living room area whilst he went to the kitchen where he decided to get started on their dinner. He started by making her a fruit salad to keep her occupied for the time being, before going and starting on their proper meal.
Nicki sat watching the computer screen as the viewers started increasing after she had tweeted the link. She smiled at the comments being made about how much they'd missed her on Ustream. "Can you guys hear me?" She asked and received a positive response from them, allowing her to continue. "I know it's been forever since I was last here, but I felt like one of these was needed." She picked up one of the grapes and popped it into her mouth before reading some of the questions she was being asked. "I'm at Bae's house," she answered the common question coming from most of them. The responses following that made her chuckle being they didn't know she had a new bae yet.
Her last relationship had ended in a divorce and about a year later she was finally ready to give relationships another try. The time to herself was beyond needed though and it allowed her to find clarity in what it was she was looking for and where she would find it, so when she found herself at one of his shows in New York by sheer choice, she knew it was time she gave him a shot, and so far it was so good.
"I might show him to you later if he wants to say hi," she said with a smirk before answering some of the other questions, ignoring the ones that pointed out that the grandeur black and white marble designs behind her could only belong to one person, and that the grand piano was a huge giveaway.
She was in the middle of explaining how busy her schedule had been that week when she was interrupted by Drake's voice as he sang away to Teenage Fever. "I met someone new last night and we kicked it..."
"I'm sure you did." Nicki shouted back causing him to stop. She chuckled knowing he'd soon make his way in to confront her. She heard his footsteps making their way to where she was before he stood at the entrance and looked at her. "Yes?" She asked innocently after seeing the unimpressed look he wore.
"And would you like to enlighten everyone where I was last night, or should I say where you were seeing as I was in my own bed?" He raised an eyebrow and she just kissed her teeth. "I didn't think so."
"Come and say hi," she said with a smile. "They wanna see you." He scrunched his face up and shook his head causing her to laugh. "Please Aubrey, stop being rude." She pouted knowing it was the one way that she would get what she wanted. He let out an exaggerated sigh and her pout turned into a smile knowing she'd won him over once again.
He walked over the laptop screen and just looked at it, leaning in to read some of the comments that were now appearing. "Stand up properly so we can admire the view," he read with a chuckle causing nicki to furrow her brows, only now remembering that he was topless for all of her fans to see.
"Who said that?" She asked, but he was too busy giving into their wants and flexing for her fans. She moved the laptop before glaring at him.
"Gotta give them what they want right?" He said with a chuckle, but she was not impressed.
"Go and put a top on," she said with a frown and he just gave a simple 'no' before returning to the kitchen to continue with their meal. "Which one of you was it because we're gonna have beef. You know what I can probably guess who it was," she said before focussing on another question. "Why didn't you tell us," she repeated aloud before smiling. "Because not everything needs to be shared; I learnt that in my last two serious relationships. And I decided to take a different approach with this one." She paused momentarily before continuing. "That and Aubrey is very big on detaining information from the public,"
"Don't lie to them," he called out from the kitchen.
"And as you can see, his ears aren't big for no reason, pauz, Before any of you take that and run with it," she said with a smirk. She focussed on reading the comments as they came through and couldn't help but laugh as his name appeared on the screen.
'Keep dissing me and you're on the first flight back to New York. Commercial too' - Drizzy Drake
"You see how he treats me guys," she said through her laughter. "And they say romance is dead huh."
'Make sure you tell 'em you got me being a houseboy in my own home too' - Drizzy Drake.
"Oh please you lost a bet and promised you'd cook for me as a result of that. Anyway guys, I know you're all waiting on the new album and I've got one coming for you round the corner, but how would you feel about a joint album?" she asked them and took a sip of her bottled water as she watched the responses come through. "I mean I obviously can't say who I'm working with yet but I might have one up my sleeve for you. I can't make any promises yet though," she explained to them and just took in their reactions. "It would be a majority rap album but me and the other artist are definitely trying to get a mix of different sounds in there too. And I know how you guys are about getting solo music from me and there will definitely be a few solo songs on the album too, not to mention that my solo album is still in the works alongside it,"
She read through the responses as they came through and laughed at the accuracy of their guesses of who she would be working with. It wasn't that she couldn't tell them but more so she didn't want to ruin the surprises that came with the reveal so she was content in keeping it on the low for now.
"I don't know what bae is making me, he won't tell me," she said knowing it would get his attention again which is exactly what she wanted. She watched at the entrance to the living room for a moment with a smirk and chuckled when he walked in now wearing a t-shirt.
"Did I or did I not ask you what you wanted me to make you?" he asked and just watched as she laughed. He walked over to her and took a seat next to her before taking the laptop into his hands. "See when she's bored she finds joy in getting on my nerves guys, so since she's so bored she can make her own dinner and we can all have a conversation. What questions do you have for me?" he asked them and watched the questions start filing in.
She just watched him take over her ustream, surprised at the exchange of roles.
"Who's she working with on the album?" he repeated the question with a smile and could feel the glare burning a hole in the side of his face.
"Drake if you dare, we're gonna have serious problems," she threatened and it was now his turn to tease.
"Remember she said I'm the one that likes to detain information from the public," he said and glanced over at her as her glare turned into a frown. "What if I told you all that-"
"Drake I mean it," she interrupted him not wanting him to ruin the one surprise she currently had full control of.
"We'll continue this conversation another time," he said to them with a smirk and wink before turning his attention to her. "And if you interrupt me again I will start the live on my page and spill all the tea." With that he returned the laptop to her before giving her a kiss on the temple and walking away...
"Babe, where do you wanna eat?" he asked as he walked towards the living room with their plates in hand.
"Can we eat in here?" she asked and he just nodded as he brought her plate over and passed it to her causing her to lean in and give him a kiss that he gladly accepted. "Thank you,"
"Pleasure is all mine baby," he replied as he placed his own plate on the table before turning to ask her one last question. "Red, white or rose?" he asked and she thought for a moment.
"You got another bottle of the one we had the other day?" she asked and he nodded before going on his way to get two glasses and the wine she had requested.
"Alright guys, it's been lovely speaking to you all but now all my attention is going towards my beautiful man who just made me a beautiful dinner. We'll continue this conversation another time. Muuaah!" And with that she signed out of her ustream and waited for him to return with their wine, before they said grace and tucked into their dinner, initially enjoying a comfortable silence as the tv played in the background.
"How is it," he asked her as he just enjoyed watching her carry out the simple task of eating.
She gave him a small smile and blushed at the way he was looking at her before eventually giving her answer. "If I told you I'd let you be on top tonight based solely on how good this is, would that answer your question?" she answered his question with a question and he laughed.
"Answers it perfectly,"
She reached for her wine and took a sip, giving herself a moment to word her question before she asked it. "On another note I've been thinking about everything we have lined up over the next year and all the deadlines we've set ourselves and we haven't really talked about kids, or left a moment in the schedule for such a setback. And it just got me wondering, are you looking to have more kids in the future or are you kinda happy and content with just Adonis,"
He gave her a small smile. "You're adorable when you're nervous you know that?" he said causing her to roll her eyes despite the pink tint on her cheeks. "Yes baby, I'm definitely looking to have more kids. Being an only child made that a necessity in my life, especially since I grew up around a bunch of guys who were basically like brothers to me, I always knew I wanted a few at the very least because growing up with siblings is alway something I wish I had properly experienced," he explained and she nodded in understanding. "To further answer you initial question, if it happens, it happens and we'll make room for it in the schedule. If we're careful enough for it to not happen over the next year then definitely after the joint tour it's a go because the focus after that was also time for ourselves and possibly whatever project we have in the works next. How does that sound?"
She smiled. "Sounds perfect. I can't wait for the wedding. I get butterflies just thinking about it,"
"Only a matter of a few months now. I'm really curious to know how people are gonna react," he said as he thought about just how much the wedding would impact the audience of their lives.
"Well I'm sure if we go on any form of social media right now we would get a glimpse. And on that topic are you sure we're gonna pull this off? I feel like someone will get pictures and next thing we know the album cover is ruined and so is the tour and then I'll be sad," she said with a pout and he chuckled.
"You're talking to the man who hid his child's face from the world successfully for two years, of course we're gonna pull it off. For starters we're getting married abroad and only the people we really know and trust are invited so if anything gets out it's down to them. All pictures are being shot by photographers that we trust as well so the chances of anything going wrong are slim,"
"I hope so because I really want this to all play out the way I've planned it in my head,"
"And it will. I will make it my mission,"
The rest of their meal was enjoyed over some small talk, and once they were finished and cleared up, they headed back to his bedroom and continued the series they had started the day before.
Nicki shifted out of his hold and went to get out of the bed when he took her hand and gently pulled her back. "No, you can do it later," he said and she chuckled at how clingy he was being.
"Aubrey I've put off packing all day, and if I don't do it now, I am definitely not making my flight if I don't do it now," she said as he tightened his hold back around her.
"Don't go,"
"It's not that simple and you know it. Irving wants the album done and we've been vouching for extra time because every time we're together we get nothing done," she pouted. "I been her for a week that I had to beg for off,"
"For starters, the album won't be released until the day after the wedding at the very earliest and that will only be if we spend our wedding reception picking a cover," he said and she chuckled knowing he was right. "Secondly, stay and I promise we'll get something done. Adonis lands tomorrow so I will take him out with the boys to give you the studio to yourself over the next few days. Get whoever you need to fly in so you can finish what you can out here, I'll fund it. And when mom takes Adonis for the day on Thursday we'll finish the intro and outro,"
She sighed knowing once he started giving her instructions she couldn't say no because he would've already sorted it all out for her.
"I'll personally tell Irving that you're staying because I don't get to see you much and this week flew by. With that being said we'll get what he wants us to get done because that's a must. At this rate we can turn in over the next month tops once all features are in and everything is finished, and then that just leaves for the cover which we'll shoot on August 6th and have turned in August 9th. Album will drop August 20th and the rest will play as its set too. You're staying,"
She sighed with a smile as the kisses started being placed in the crook of her neck. "I'll have to go to New York eventually. Michael Costello said he's done with my dress and I can't wait to see it," she smiled and felt him smile into her skin.
"God I can't wait to call you my wife," he said and she blushed.
She turned in his hold and to his face into her hands. "And I can't wait to call you my husband." she lent in and placed her lips on his for a gentle kiss that he accepted. She was lost in his loving kisses for a moment before she pulled away and looked at him with a frown. "Why didn't you tell me my blonde cupcake was coming tomorrow? You were gonna let me leave without seeing him?"
He chuckled and kissed her pouted lips. "You were never leaving. And I could never let that happen, he was asking for you earlier and at that point I knew if I let you leave without seeing him you were both gonna be angry at me,"
"He called and you didn't let me talk to him?" she said, pulling away from him even more.
"You were sleeping," he said defensively with a chuckle and she kissed her teeth before pulling away from him and heading to the ensuite leaving him laughing. He laughed and reached for the remote, rewinding the episode they hadn't really paid attention to. His phone vibrated on the nightstand signally a text message.
The bands are done. They're classics - Ben Baller.
He smiled at the text. It was all coming together so quickly and more perfect than he had ever imagined.
I knew I could count on you. Oliver will pick them up - Drake
You wanna see them? - Ben Baller.
He thought for a moment and was drawn out of his thoughts as she came out of the bathroom pulling her hair up into a messy bun.
Surprises are better. - Drake
He put his phone back and switched off the TV as she got back into the bed and she was quick to shake her head.
"No Aubrey, I'm mad at you," she said and put her hand on his face lightly pushing him away as he tried to kiss her. He couldn't help but laugh knowing she would now take some convincing.
"I'm sorry baby, but you were sleeping and you were tired," he said trying to justify it. "You get to see him tomorrow anyway,"
"That's not the point. You won't win this one, it's two against one," she said avoiding looking at him because she knew she would cave.
"The rings are done," he said and that was all it took.
"They are?! Have you seen them?" she asked, the excitement peeking through.
"No," he said and placed a kiss on her cheek. "I wanna be surprised, but it said they're classics." He took her hand and placed kisses on it, admiring the ring he put on it a few months back. "You wanna carry my baby?"
"Aubrey,"
"I'm serious." Once she looked into his eyes, she knew he was exactly that.
"Only if you're restitching my dress with your own two hands," she said, breaking his trance and making him smile.
"Come here,"
Pulling her close and giving her the kisses she'd pretended not to want, he made sure they both enjoyed the last evening of alone time before their lives got hectic again...
