"Mom we're gonna be late, come on already"
"Onika would you calm down?"
"I'm sorry but you know how I get when...."
".....when it comes to Safaree? Yeah I know! You love that boy"
"Wait mom he's my friend"
"I thought we didn't have time to wait" Her mother said with a smile.
Nicki walked past her mother rolling her eyes she headed to the car, straight to the drivers seat. "COME ON MOM" she rushed but her mom took her time, they had 3 hours and the place was 20 minutes away. Nicki was in a rush for nothing. 5 minutes later they were pulling off and of course Nicki was mad but she got over it. "So what'd you get him?" Nicki looked over at her mom and blushed at the question. She started talking a mile a minute "well, I got him new sneakers, a watch, a new hat! The hat's purple mom! And I got him a nice chain that says SB on. He might be mad about that because its pink but I got it anyway. I got him some nice jeans and a...." Her mother cut her off. "For my birthday you got me a card" Nicki laughed and said sorry mom this is different ! This is..." Her mom cut her off " I know darling I know, this is SAFAREE". She said his name like Nicki does and then laughed. "Mom would you stop? He's really my friend" "I know baby but we all know you want to be more. I like him and I know him very well it's fine with me if you date him but you know how far to go right Onika?" They were now at the place so she pulled over and looked at her. "Right!?" She repeated a little louder. " Mom I know your not talking about sex right now" Nicki started laughing, "I know I don't even want to! I didn't even know I liked him! I won't date him" "Why is she so confusing?" Her mom whispered while dramatically looking up. Nicki laughed again "Mom he doesn't like me we're bestfriends okay? I hope you don't mind!!" Her mom laughed then they got out the car.
Nicki was running around like a chicken for a while now. She had planned the perfect day, but it seemed so great to everyone except her. There wasn't enough ice, the chips were to hard and she missed SB. "Mom it's 7:30 where is he?!" She started to worry so she called him. She went outside because the music was loud.
"Hey birthday boy"
"What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"Same place you are"
"Safaree stop playing". He hung up the phone.
Nicki sat on the curb sad. "Where is he?" She kept thinking. SB walked up to her and pulled her up. She didn't see him because he came from behind her so she immediately began to fight him. "Damn girl chill" She heard his voice so she loosened up and let him pull her up. "Nicki I been here for about 10 minutes, you walked right by me twice I just couldn't get your attention" SB was a little drunk, he just turned 17 and he just wanted to try it. He kissed her. She didn't know what to say.
She immediately thought it was her mom then she realized he was drunk. She decided to never bring it up if he didn't. It's been 3 years now since that day and alot has changed. Nicki had a week to plan, and she knew exactly what she wanted to do.
