Birthday

"Are you happy to be in Hawaii?"

"For business? Oh, I'm completely overjoyed." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Be excited." I cocked my head to the side and stared at SB as he slung his Louis V backpack over his shoulders. "Your birthday's tomorrow."

"And you know I hate celebrating my birthday."

"And you know I'm going to make sure you do anyways." He reached for the luggage I was leaning on and grabbed the handle. The elevator doors dinged and I followed behind him.

"Where's Grizz? He's supposed to be filming this."

"I told him to go away."

"Why?" I turned down the hall behind SB who seemed to know where we were going. He stopped at the last door on right and pulled out the card, sliding it in the door.

"You got things to do."

"It's my day off, Safaree." He walked in our penthouse suite and sat the luggage to the side. "Wow. It's really nice in here.

"BOSS!"

I paused in the middle of the suite looking around. "Can you not act like such a buffoon right now?" I walked over to the table looking at this edible arrangement in the middle of it. It was so beautiful, I didn't want to touch it. The beautiful colors were so vibrant. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and took a picture. I clicked the share button and typed the tweet.

OMG, doesn't it look so beautifully delicious barbz?! :)

I locked the phone and grabbed a grape from the fruit display.

"You're not suppose to eat that." I looked over at SB who came jogging down the steps like a maniac. "Yo, these steps are nice. Got all this marble and shit. Look at this." I turned fully and leaned against the table watching his hands grab at the pole that the steps were wrapped around.

"No." I laughed knowing what SB was about to do. "I swear." He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows before he jumped up and clasped on to the pole and slid down. "Now if you would've fell or hit your head..." I shook my head.

"You would've been sad about it." he stepped around me and picked at the other edible tray that I didn't even notice.

"Was it your idea to get that so you can tease?"

"You say that like you stick to your diet anyways." he looked at me blankly while shoving a chocolate covered strawberry in his mouth.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes and stuck out my phone to him. He grabbed it and put it in his back pocket and went back to the edible tray. I pushed away from the table and walked towards the steps.

"Don't eat all of that chocolate, SB." I walked up the steps while looking down at SB going in on the food as if he hasn't eaten in years...pauz. "I'm serious, Safaree."

"Yeah, I heard you."

I shook my head. He's still not going to listen to me. I walked up the steps and stopped. I looked back and forth from the door to the room on the left and the door to the room on the right. Hmmm...bet it's the right. I stepped over to the door and pushed it open.

"Haha, yes!"

I knew it was mine when I saw a huge bouquet of roses in the middle of the bed. I smiled at it being a perfect coordination of white, pink, and red roses. Oh! The hotel gave me a card. How sweet. I reached for the card and opened it. My smile grew as I looked over the card. There was the ugliest sloppiest heart I've ever seen with it signed "Fengali." I dropped the card to the bed and walked out of the room and down the steps.

"SB!" I made it down the steps and he entered the room coming from the back patio. He walked into the kitchen and hopped up, sitting himself on the island. Like I said...a buffoon.

"Wussup?"

I walked over to him and stood between his legs and looked up at him. "Thank you." I rested my hands on his legs. "Those roses are beautiful."

"Dope, ain't they? I got them sent here from Wal-Mart. Ballin'!" I rolled my eyes and hit him the stomach. He always turns something cute into something ignorant. I tugged at the bottom of his shirt signaling for him to scoot closer to me and he did. He put his arms around me and they rested on my lower back.

"You know if we were still mad at each other and you didn't get me anything, I would've beat your ass." I tried to keep a straight face but with Safaree's straight face I couldn't hold my laugh in. "I'm serious, though."

"If we was still mad I woulda just got you black roses." He shrugged.

"And I still would've beat your ass."

"Why? I think they look dope actually. I want some at my wedding. Red and black."

"Safaree, I am not having a wedding filled with red and black roses."

"Did I say I was marrying you?"

"Who else is gonna want you, Safaree?"

"You wanna check my phone?"

I cut my eyes at him and leaned back from him a little bit.

"You sure you don't wanna check my phone, Nic? I got all the-"

"Shut up, Safaree." I leaned back into him. "I'm happy with you right now and I don't wanna have to beat your ass and go off on some random hoes."

"Jealous?"

"Absolutely not. I have nothing to worry about."

"Really?"

"Mhmmm." I wrapped my arms around him and looked up at him. "You'd be out of your freakin mind if you ever left me."

"Same goes for you."

"Oh really?"

SB smirked and nodded. "Guys like me are hard to come across. You lucked up."

"I guess I did, huh?"

"Yeah." he nodded his head. "Yeah. But enough small talk. Go get ready."

"Ready? For what? I told you it's my day off."

"And I told you you're celebrating your birthday. Go get dressed."

I pouted. I know he's trying to do something nice for me but I really don't feel like being bothered with a lot of people right now.

"Chill. It's just gonna be me and you, go get ready."

"Can we just do something in here? Please?"

"This is definitely the last time I do something for you."

"No. Okay, fine." I dropped my hand from around his waist and turned to walk away. "But I'm not dressing up!" I pointed at him while walking back up the stairs knowing damn well I was still going to dress up anyways.

---

I grabbed onto Safaree's hand and walked up the few steps. When we made it to the top I stopped. He stopped and looked back at me.

"Nicki."

"Faree."

"Don't start this."

"Please."

"You always act like a baby on your birthday. I'm really gonna stop doing stuff for you."  I knew SB wasn't playing by the tone of his voice but he knows me more than enough by now to know that I don't like celebrating my birthday. I looked down at our hands that were connected just a second ago but not anymore , I looked up when I seen SB turning away. I reached out for his arm and stopped him.

"Baby."

"We can go back to the hotel. It's cool."

"I'm sorry. Come on." I grabbed at his arm pulling him back to me. My face went blank at the satisfied smirk on his face. "You just love to hear me beg." I said vaguely. He stepped forward leading us to wherever the hell it is that he has us going.

"Yeah, in bed. It's kind of annoying right now." I let go of his arm and stopped. He turned around and laughed at the face I was giving him I'm assuming. Ain't nothing funny.

"Alright, alright. Come on." He turned around and continued leading the way as I followed behind him. How Safaree knows his way around Hawaii like this I have no idea. I ran my hands through the long black lacefront I had on. Only Safaree can get me to wear this. I don't know why. It's beautiful I just don't like wearing it without a hat.

"Watch your step." SB turned around to me. "Stop." I looked up at him.

"What?"

"I told you not to wear heels."

I looked around and realized why. We're on the beach. I put my hand on his shoulder and he put his hand on my waist to help me keep my balance. Leaning down, I took off one heel after the other and clutched them in my hand. I walked down the steps and followed Safaree over to a huge ass cabana.

"This is weird." I said.

"Huh?" he continued walking forward not looking back.

"No one's here on the beach. It's always a lot of people." I looked down at my feet. I really hate walking in sand.

"You know I had to get this shit cleared out." He stepped up onto the set of the cabana and reached out for my hand while his other hand reached for my heels. He walked me over to a bed that was set up in the middle and sat me down. I stared at him and made my self comfortable sitting on the bed as he sat my shoes in the corner of the cabana before he turned around and placed himself down in a big lounge chair over in the corner.

"I know we're not staying out here all night, SB."

"Why would you think that?"

"I'm sitting on a bed.What's this for?"

"Sex on the beach."

"Safaree."

"I'm playin'." he laughed. No you not. "I know you like looking at the sky and all that. You could lay there and watch the sunset."

"You're not gonna watch it with me?" I pouted. He shook his head no. "Is this suppose to be romantic? It's not."

"Yeah, it's not." he agreed quickly.

"You're such a jerk. You're mean to me. Even on my birthday."

"Technically, it's not your birthday yet."

I grabbed a pillow that was lying next to me and tossed it at him. Jerk.

"Aye. Keep it up and you won't be getting your gift."

"What gift?" I cocked my head to the side and looked at him. "I told you I didn't want anything, SB." Listen to me. Lying.

"Your gift is here."

I looked around. "Well, where is it?"

"Go find it."

As soon as he said that my face dropped. He has to be fucking kidding.

"You're really out of your mind if you think I'm going to go find some gift you got me."

"That's fine." SB snuggled up to the pillow and got comfortable. "This day isn't moving til you find your gift." he adjusted his hat a certain way so it wouldn't interfere with how he was laying on the pillow. "One of your gifts anyway."

"You are such an asshole. I hope you know that." I slammed my hands down to the bed and got up.

"You don't let me forget."

"Can your stupid ass at least tell me what I'm looking for?"

"A letter."

I rolled my eyes and stepped back into this dumb ass sand. I swear after this is all over I'm going to kill Safaree.

---

I sat here in the sand playing with my nails. I'm tired of this. Safaree is out of his mind and all I want is my gifts already. I don't have time to be playing games with him. I looked over next to me. Wow. I've been sitting by the note for 5 minutes already. Really? I grabbed the note and got comfortable and leaned my back against the tree. I opened the note and read.

Nicki, Nicki, Nicki. I swear you are the most difficult woman that has ever entered my life. From the moment I met you, you was difficult, and you have been ever since then. There's plenty of times when I can't stand to be around you, when I'm tired of you nagging me, and getting mad at me for shit that other people did wrong. All of that. I know lately I haven't been the easiest to be around either. I know just like I can't stand to be around you at times it's the same for you... and a lot here recently. Sorry for the stress I know I've caused lately..and sorry for the hurt I know I put you through. Thanks for being the best friend I could ever have. Thanks for bringing me along with you on this when I know you didn't have to. Thanks for still being there to help me out even when you're busy with your own stuff. I'm writing this and you probably pissed at me right now. In your room on the phone talking about how much you can't stand me.. or thinking about how much you can't stand me. How you wanna beat my ass for leaving all those liquor bottles on the table. All that stuff. So even if you're mad at me, ofcourse I'ma get you a bunch of stuff anyways. I hate to see you frown, I'd rather see you smiling. Yeah. The quote goes something like that. But back to the point at hand. Happy Birthday to the most beautiful, smart, caring, hard working woman in the world. You deserve the best, Nic. I hope I give that to you.. P.S. Stop crying. I tried not to be all sentimental in this for that reason. 










Ha! You thought I was gonna end this without sayin' it, huh? I love you. OFGang. Niggas.

I dropped the note down in my lap and wiped at my face. I grabbed the note and stood up making my way back over to where SB was. He put his phone down in his pocket when he saw me walking up and slightly shook his head.

"Stop it."

"You stop it, SB." I walked over to the bed he was now laying on and laid beside him. "You know easily sensitive I am." I wiped at my face and sat the note down in the tiny space between us. "You do this shit on purpose I'm sure."

He rolled over onto his back and took that opportunity to scoot closer and lay on his body. I rested my chin on his chest and looked up at him.

"You wanna know one thing about you that irritates me?" I reached my hand up and played with his ear.

"Let it out." He said mocking me. I looked off at the beautiful waves that were making such a beautiful and peaceful noise.

"How you make me feel. You're the only guy who has ever made me want to kill them and kiss them all in one moment like you do."

"Why you wanna kill me?"

"You always make me cry." I moved my hand from his ear and stroked his cheek.

"You'll be fine." I sat up on the bed and pulled at SB's arm. He looked at me confused. "What?"

"Come with me."

"Where?"

"Come here." I pulled him off the bed and stood him up. I let go of his arm and walked down closer to the water. I stopped to where the waves only made the water hit my feet and stood there taking in the view. I felt SB wrap his arms around my shoulders and smiled. I grabbed on to his arms and that were wrapped around my shoulders and leaned into his body.

"This place is so beautiful."

"You're beautiful." he pulled me even closer to him than I already was and kissed me on the cheek.

"Can I tell you something?"

"Say it."

"....I was scared."

"What? When?"

"When we were mad at each other. Yeah, we argue but not like that." I shook my head. "Not like that. That was scary."

"Why?" I looked down not saying anything. "Say it."

"I thought you were gonna leave me..not like you do sometimes and come back, but LEAVE me."

"I don't think I could leave you if I tried." he chuckled. "Yeah, we argue. And I always say I'm done with you but.." I felt him shrug against my body. "Here I am. I told you I'm in this forever."

"Can we do something?"

"What's that?"

 "Can we never let it get like that again? Promise me."

"Promise. Can you do something for me?"

"Hm?"

"Stop getting so mad at me so easily."

"Stop being such a jerk to me sometimes, Faree."

"I guess. We both just need to chill sometimes."

"I guess there's one good thing that comes from you having a temper problem."

"What?"

"Well.. if you didn't have the temper problem you do you'd be terrible in bed."

"Ha! I got a lot more anger you haven't even seen." he leaned closer into my ear.

"Please, Safaree. It's been how many years?"

"Nah, trust me Nic."

"How about you show me?" I said seductively. I turned around in his arms and put my hands on his sides looking up at him.

"Out here?"

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled leaning closer to him. Before I knew it I felt SB's hands grab at my thighs from behind lifting me up.

"Ugh! You know I hate when you do this."
