Determined Destiny // Unbelieveable // Chapter 2

Nicki's POV

I listened to my mother yell my full name very loudly in the background. I knew it was wrong of me not to respond, but I was beyond the point of mild anger and I was very upset. Does she and my father really believe that they can force me to wed this horrid excuse for a human being? Shawn Camry, out of all people!

“Onika Tanya Maraj! I am calling you!” My mom yelled once again, but I continued to ignore her and walk towards the door.
 
“If you walk through that door, there will be serious consequences!” My father yelled towards me. I held the golden handle, and turned my head and looked at my mother’s face. She looked very upset and my father just looked angry. I turned my sight towards satans human form. He had been laughing this whole time, as if this was a joke. I shot him with an angry face and turned handle. I slammed the door and started walking towards Aubrey’s house. He won’t believe this!

I made my way to his front porch. I was about to knock, when I heard yelling. Aubreys home is usually so calm and peaceful. I know it was wrong, but I pressed my ear against the door and started to eavesdrop. I couldn’t hear much, but I heard an unfamiliar voice. Sounded like a female. I don’t know why, but I began to feel kind of jealous I suppose? I know Aubrey & I aren’t a thing but the thought of him and other girls kind of angers me? Whatever, forget it.
 
I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. After a long while, Aubrey came and answered the door.
 
“Aubs, you ok?” I asked. He just shook his head and grabbed my hand. I let him guide me towards his room. I turned my head on the way up the stair and saw this girl sitting next to Sandi. She gave me an unpleasant look. Who the fuck is she anyway.
 
“Who was that?” I asked after he closed the door. I walked over to his dark blue bed and layed on it. He came to lay beside me as usual. I put my legs on top of him.
 
“Some chick named Ami, from my science class.” He answered. He started playing with my hair.
 
“Why is she here?” I asked straight after. He gave me a weird look, with his eyebrow raised.
 
“What…”
 
“Someone’s jealousss?” He mocked me. I softly hit him on the chest, trying to hide my laughter.
 
“It’s complicated, why don’t you go first? What’s the exciting news?” He asked still playing with my hair.
 
“It’s not so exciting. There’s this arranged…” I struggled to finish the sentence, but somehow he finished it. “marriage?”
 
I answered with a yes and he pulled my hair from shock.
 
“OW!”
 
“Oh sorry Nic. I just-.”
 
Drake got up and and stared blankly at me.
 
“Wait…How’d you-” I was about to ask,
 
“My parent’s are setting me up to!” He yelled. He jumped from the bed and started pacing up and down his room. I gently picked my tiny torso up and balanced on my arms, crawling off his bed. I sat at the edge and yelled his name, trying to get his damn attention.
 
“AUBREY! DAMN!” I yelled for the fifth time. He stopped and looked at me with a panicked face.
 
“Now, just breathe.” I said calmly.
 
“BREATHE?! THEY’RE MAKING ME GET MARRIED TO SOME HOE.” He yelled at the top of his lungs. I sat there with my jaw wide open. Does he not realize that his parents and the “thot” are downstairs? Without saying a word, I got up and wrapped my arms around him. He always seems to calm down when we’re holding eachother. After I felt his grip loosen, I pulled away from the hug and stared at him. I started laughing silently.
 
“What….?” He smiled.
 
“This is probably all just a prank.” I answered. Theres no way they’re actually making us marry these people. If anything, they probably did this to laugh about it later. After a while, Aubrey started laughing also.
 
“Yeah, maybe you’re right. I mean, if it was real, they wouldn’t pick Ami.” He answered. I looked at him with a questioning look on my face.
 
“Oh? And who would they pick?” I said walking towards his dresser. I moved stuff aside and sat on top. He turned around and walked towards me.
 
“They’d pick you.” He said. I was speechless. Was her feeling alright? I mean, that just came out of nowhere.
 
He brought his hands to the side of my thighs and slid them up while bringing his lips closer to mine. We continued to intensely stare at each other. I felt him slide his hands up more towards my ass. I couldn’t help but bite my lip. I know that I shouldn’t be having these thoughts, but something about Aubrey, just- umf.
 
He leaned in closer and I put my arms around his neck. I pulled him towards my lips and they fastened. We made the kiss deeper, and he moved my body closer to his, with my legs wide open. Suddenly we heard a knock, and an annoying voice follow.
 
“Aubrey!!!!!!!!!!!!” She yelled. We stopped and stared at each other, as if we didn’t hear her irritating voice.
 
She knocked even louder.
 
“AUBREY, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE. SO OPEN UP SILLY!” She yelled again. I rolled my eyes and placed my hands on his chest to move him. I felt his muscles under his shirt. I bit my lip as he smirked at me, leaving my hands there for too long.
 
“AUBRE- YOU KNOW WHAT?! IM COMING IN!” After she yelled that, I jumped off and ran to his closet. I knew her vexatious ass would start an argument, and I just was not up for it.
 
“Where’d that delinquent go?” I heard her say.
 
“Delinquent?” He asked.
 
“I heard her swear today in the hallway, but she’s your pal so I didn’t tell.” she sat on his bed.



N/O’S POV

Drake couldn’t believe what he just heard come out of her mouth. Nicki being the delinquent, when Ami skips, doesn’t follow the rules, etc, but never gets in trouble.
 
“If anyone is the delinquent here, it’s you.” Drake said coldly.
 
“That’s not anyway to talk to your wife.” Ami retorted.
 
She sighed aloud and stretched her fairly petite body across the bed-spread. She propped up her knee, and rested her leg on top, wiggling her ankle.
 
“You aren’t my wife…” Drake said attempting to move her off his bed.
 
“Oh, but I will be.” She said turning onto her stomach and lifting her ass in the air. She smirked and Aubrey looked away in disgust. Desperation was a definite turn-off.
 
“And Shawn will be that… hoe’s husband.” She said with a pause. A awkward silence hit the room.
 
“SAY ONE MORE THING ABOUT HER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!” Drake shouted.
 
Ami didn’t say another thing, she just squinted her eyes at him.
 
“Exactly. Now get the fuck out.”
 
Ami huffed and walked out of his room. Drake went to close and lock his door. Nicki opened the closet 
door and stepped out. She observed Aubrey and saw him pacing, being silent.
 
“She’s lucky I have a good girl reputation to maintain or her ass would’ve been laid out.” Nicki told him in an attempt to lighten the mood.
 
“Aubrey, talk to me, you’re worrying me. Here sit down, your pacing is annoying me.”
 
Drake followed Nicki’s directions and sat on the edge off his bed. He continued to stare blankly. Nicki call out to him and got no response, so she decided to tongue his earlobe. Drake tensed when he felt Nicki’s tongue on his skin. He turned his head and look at Nicki dead in the eyes.
 
“What was that all about?”
 
“I needed to get your attention, you were scaring me, by not talking.”
 
“Oh sorry, I just- I can’t believe this.”
 
“You said that you didn’t think it was real.”
 
“I know I said that, but she wouldn’t have came up here and say she would be. She looked serious.”
 
“I can’t look at Shawn, I think I might throw up.”
 
Drake chuckled and kissed the top of her head.
 
“Drake?” Nicki called.
 
“Yeah.”
 
“What are we gonna do?”
 
“I wish I knew, but as long as stick together and have each others backs, we can get through anything.” 

Nicki smiled at the statement he had made and kissed him. He kissed back and didn’t release, and Nicki was fine with that. In fact, she deepened the kiss and pushed him down so he had his back on the bed and she was on top.
 
****
 
It was late and Nicki didn’t want to leave, but she knew there was school the next day and her mother didn’t stop spamming her phone. Nicki continued to stare at Aubrey as he slept beside her. *PAUZ* They didn’t do anything, If that’s what you are thinking.
 
»FLASHBACK
 
Nicki flipped her hair to the other side while straddling Aubrey and making-out with him. Shes never done this type of thing before, but she was doing well for someone who is so experienced. Drake slid his hands up and down her thighs, making her moist. Knowing the effect he had on her, he brought his hands to her lower waist and slid his hands under her top. He then brought his hands to the hooks of her bra. Suddenly Nicki propped up and stared at him.
 
“What?” He asked.
 
“I-I-I…I can’t do this,Aubrey.” She stuttered. He kissed her hand and apologized for going too fast. She accepted and laid her head down on his chest. After a while of comfortable silence, she dozed off.

» FLASHBACK OVER

 
Nicki looked up at the side table. The digital clock had read ‘8:57’. Nicki sighed and looked back at an awake Aubrey.
 
“Oh, you’re up…” She whispered.
 
“You don’t seem that excited.” He joked.
 
“Yaaaaaay! You’re up!” She said with more enthusiasm. Drake smiled and kissed her.
 
“But I have to get going now.” Nicki frowned. Drake looked at the time.
 
“Shit. Isn’t your mom going to flip?” He asked. Nicki rolled her eyes and nodded. She got up and removed 
the warm blankets from her body. She went over and grabbed her backpack.
 
“Lemme walk you home.” He said getting up from the bed.



Drake's POV
Nicki giggled as I continued to tell her some more jokes. Her laugh is like the perfect melody. I wouldn’t mind hearing it for hours.
 
We walked up to her porch and looked at eachother. We intertwined fingers and held hands, not breaking eye contact. No one said a word, but there was so much I wanted to ask. ’ What does this mean for us?’ 

‘What is our ‘label’?’ But, I didn’t want to rush things. 

“Thank you for walking me.” She thanked with her gorgeous dimpled smile. I nodded and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled.
 
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said while turning around. She stopped me and kissed me. I kissed her back and pulled away. We smiled again and parted ways. I could feel her eyes on me as I walked down the street.
 
“Text me!” I heard her yell.
 
“Maybe!” I yelled back.



Nicki's POV

I smiled and turned around. I searched the front pocket of my hello kitty backpack for my house key. After years of looking, I found it and opened the door. Then, I felt a burning sensation across my face. I then realized I was on the floor. I looked up and saw a very angry mother staring down at me. I held the spot where she had hit me, while I stood up.
 
“Ma-” She cut me off.
 
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!”
 
“Aubrey’s.” I simply answered with a shrug.
 
“YOU DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO SAY ANYTHING TO ME, YOUR FATHER OR YOUR HUSBAND?! WE WERE WORRIED SICK.”
 
I fought the urge to roll my eyes, because I didn’t feel like getting slapped across my face.
 
“Maybe you and dad were but I doubt he was and quit callin’ him my husband. He isn’t my husband. He’ll never in a billion years be my husband.”
 
“He is right after graduation. So, you guys should start getting to know each other right now young lady.” My father butted in.
 
I looked over at Shawn and saw him smirking. My stomach turned at the sight of his face. I hated him with a passion. I cannot see how my parents like him.
 
“Oh come on Onika, I’m not that bad guy you think I am. I’m so excited to become part of the Maraj Family, isn’t that right mom and dad?” Camry said. Ugh. He will never be apart of this family.
 
“That’s the spirit!” I saw my dad exclaim.
 
“Unbelievable.” I rolled my eyes and stomped up the stairs. I went to my room and locked the door behind me. 

"Fucking asshole…" I said under my breath. I was about to sit on my bed when I heard a knock on the door. 

"Onika!" I heard the satanic voice speak.

"What do you want Shawn?!" I was just not up for this nigga.

"Just lemme in." He sounded serious..? I was afraid of the consequences but, I unlocked the door.

"You got two minutes." I watched him walk in and I shut the door. He sighed heavily and sat on my bed.

"What’s the deal with you and this Drake kid?" He asked. I crossed my arms.

"Why does it matter to you?"

“‘Cause I wanna know if my future wife is playing me or na,” I looked at him as if he had three heads.

" ‘Nika, either you fucking him or not." His voice got louder.

"Excuse me?" I put my hand on my hip.

"Answer the damn question!" He yelled as he stood up and walked over to me. I stuck my manicured finger 

in his face.

"First of all, don’t raise your fucking tone." He backed away.

"And second of all, you better stop using that language in my house." He rolled his eyes and sat back on the bed.

"Thirdly, whatever happen between Aubrey and I is none of your business."

"It’s gonna be everyone’s business when they find out how much a whore you are." I scowled at him. I walked over and slapped him in the face.

"Say something!" I yelled. I heard another knock on the door.

"You kids stop with all that ruckus!" My dad yelled. I looked back at Camry.

"Get the fuck out." 

"Gladly." I walked over to the door. He stuck his cheek close to me and pointed towards it, asking for a kiss. 

I slapped him again and slammed the door. 

"Unbelievable."
