chapter 8

Safaree pulled up to the resturant, and let Nicki out to go find Wayne while he parked. She walked in, and saw wayne all the way in the back next to the television. She swiftly walked up to him and gave him a hug. She sat and looked to her right and saw Drake was sitting there. She waved and smiled. Safaree came in and they did their handshake ; and sat down. The waitress came by and asked what they wanted to drink Nicki ordered a margarita with salt around the rim. Drake got white wine. Safaree just got water. And wayne wasn't eating or drinking, he was just there to chat, and talk business. Drake murmured "so I hear you're engaged , Nicki" she nodded and smiled. Drake didn't talk again. Nicki ordered a salad with extra olives, trying to stay on the light side. After she finished Wayne got a call from Birdman to tell him they needed to finish some things at the studio. Wayne stood up and gave Nicki a hug. Drake followed with no words. After they were gone Nicki left a tip and left. When they got home, Nicki realized a package on the front steps. She sat on the top step and read the calligraphy writing that said "Love Is A Precious Gift; Love MaMa Carol" Nicki untied the velvet red ribbon surrounding the package, and opened the lid. She gasped and her eyes widened.
