Can I Borrow Some Sugar?

After a long night of talking the girls fell asleep around 3 a.m. Nicki was glad she let all those emotions out but she was really tired. 

*SB house* 

"SAFAREE GO!"

"Mom it's SB & it's 9 a.m!"

"I need sugar for this kool-aid now go ask for some."

"Why can't I go to the store?"

"LLYOD"

"I'm going" she smiled knowing that using his middle name would get him to realize she wasn't changing her mind. He anxiously skipped steps to go put on some sweatpants and a t-shirt. He didn't want to admit it, not to his mother and not even to hisself, but he was happy he had an excuse to go see Nicki. 

Once he made it to the house he already saw her mother half way up the street. 'Dammit' it thought. He rang the bell anyway. About 2 minutes later a tired Nicki opened the door rubbing her eyes. Her natural hair was curled and looked messy but in a cute way. She had on no make up since she just woke up. Plus her hello kitty pajamas to top it off. When she saw SB she became alert and tried to fix her self up. SB just smiled at her. 

"Umm.... Wanna come in?"

"I'll be quick" he said walking in and sitting down. 

"Well did you need something Safaree?" She asked while giggling. He didn't answer he just tapped the seat next to him. 

After being gone for about 2 hours, Cristina and Lauren started to wonder who it was. 

"Nikaaaaaaaaaa!?" Cris yelled. "Who was at the door?"

"Don't tell me it was your Prince Charming SAFAREEEEEE" she said his name all weird like she's been doing all night. When she said that Nicki froze. She didn't know what to say. SB just grabbed her hand to reassure her it was okay. 

"Cris! You idiot! It is him! Look" Lauren thought she whispered. 

"Oh shit! I hope I didn't embarrass her. As much as she was talking about him last night"

"Aw look they're holding hands"

"Guys we can hear you and you're both realllllly embarrassing" Nicki laughed. 

They disappeared and came back minutes later and Lauren was hiding something behind her back. 

"Here you go Safaree"

"Please don't call me that!" 

"Sorry man, chill but here you go"

Lauren handed him the "Onika-Faree" book and she noticed the ' - ' had been taken away. She just shook her head. 

"Safaree don't look at that. I don't even know what it is".

"This was our favorite picture remember?" He said starring at the cover of the book. It was a picture of them when they were younger. Nicki was smiling from ear to ear while SB tickled her. 

"You were doing that ugly laugh"

Nicki gave him a side glare "my laugh is cute play boy!" 

"Wait but she can call him Safaree?" Lauren 'whispered' to Cristina. 

"Shut up! They're having a moment".

They flipped through the book together until the end. Cris and Lauren noticed that the picture of SB crying was now tapped into the book right next to Nickis picture crying. She even wrote a little note on the side. 'Onika-Faree forever' SB leaned in and kissed her as he closed the book. Forgetting that was his bestfriend, forgetting he was mad at her and especially forgetting they weren't alone. 

Nicki pulled away blushing. SB loved her and now he knew. 

"How could you treat me so bad Faree?"

"How could you leave me like that Onika?" 

"Why don't you treat me like that?" Lauren asked Cristina. All 3 of them just looked at her at her. 

"Sorry, just enjoying the moment" Nicki shook her head at her friend and laughed. Cristina pulled Lauren up the stairs and into Nickis room. 

"They're too cute." 

"Yeah Laurie but shouldn't we warn Nic about Paula?"

*hours later* 

"Alright Nic I should be headed home, it's getting late."

"Okay, bye.... SB right?" She said with a smile. He pushed her hair out of her face and smiled. "You're so beautiful". He hugged her and was on his way.

When he walked in his mother was cooking dinner. That's when he realized he was starving. Then he thought about why he didn't eat and remember his mom. He looked at his watch which said 15 minutes to 9. He'd been at Nickis almost all day. 

"So um did you get what I sent you for?" She said with a smirk. 

"Yes mom. I got Onika. Thank you so much." 

"Safaree do you remember crying for her?" 

"I don't wanna talk about this and I hope you guys didn't talk about this either. I saw the picture tho. So thanks" he said the last part sarcastically and she just laughed. 

"I haven't seen you so happy since she left son. I know you just started talking to her a few hours ago but that day she knocked on our door that sparkle came back into your eye...."

"Mom.... stop"

"Okay okay I'm sorry."

"In hungry, did you cook?"

"Oh we're invited over to the Maraj house at around 9:30"

"MOM IT'S 9:10!" 

"So you might wanna go get dressed"
