One More Time

Nicki sipped on her long island ice tea as she watched her YM label mates dance around her in V.I.P.  "Come on Nic. Dance with me." Shanell swayed over to Nicki grabbing her by her wrist. Nicki placed her drink on the small table in front of her. Nicki got up walking around the small table.

"Wassup Nell?" Nick asked as they swayed back and forth.

"I can't just dance with my bestfriend without there having to be a reason?" Shanell dramatically gasped. Nicki stopped dancing and gave Shanell the 'Now we both know' face. "Ok, Ok. I need you to do me a favour." Shanell stopped dancing and looked over her shoulder.

"I haven't seen you in months, and when I do you want me to do something for you!?" Shanell poked out her bottom lip. "What is it?" Nicki sighed.

"You know how my birthday is coming up...hell you should know. But that's beside the point, I know dread head is going to do something, I just need you to find out what."

"Oh word? Ya birthday coming up? Get the hell outta here!" Nicki gasped. Shanell's jaw dropped as she looked at Nicki. "You know I'm playing. But how I'm supposed to do that, you know Wayne secretive as hell."

"Just talk to him like it's no big deal and just make him spill it." Shanell said.

"I'll try." Nicki shrugged

"Aye, look we're being watched." Shanell motioned her head over to Streetz, Wayne and Drake as they watched as Nicki and Shanell danced. Nicki smirked at them, Drake bit his lip, Wayne licked his lip and Streetz just kept watching. Nicki and Shanell giggled.

"You know they trynna mess with us right?" Drake said not taking his eyes off of the two.

"Shiiiit, It's working." Streetz commented.

"C'mon Drake, we bought to break this shit up. Streetz...........go find a hoe." Wayne said getting up from his spot on the couch. Drake took a last sip of his drink before putting it down. He stood and him and Wayne walked over to Nicki and Shanell. "Shanell."

"What nicca?" Shanell turned to him.

"Memba that shit when you want it later." Wayne shrugged.

"When I want it? Memba that shit when you beggin." Shanell retorted.

"Keep trynna show off. Get yo ass ova here." He pulled her wrist and she fell into him smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"That was all types of nasty." Nicki shook her as she leaned against the balcony. Drake fell in place beside her. "So, Wassup Aubrey?"

"Shit." He shook his head.

"Something's up" Nicki smirked as she glanced down at the bulge in his pants. He turned his head laughing and a bit embarrassed. "It's ok. I have that affect on men." She winked.

"You always have that affect on me baby." Drake, Nicki blushed bashfully. "Dance with me?" Drake held out his hand.

"I can't say no to you." Nicki smiled accepting his hand. Drake led her to where Wayne and Shanell were already dancing. 112's 'Cupid' began playing and Nicki smiled widely. "I loooove this song." She gasped. Drake turned her to him and she smiled up at him looking into his eyes then shyly dropping her head. Drake wrapped both arms around her as she placed her arms around his neck.

"You smell good." Drake told Nicki in a smooth voice, one that she had never heard, but she just began to love.

"Thank You. You smell like...................Drake." Nicki said before laying her head down against his chest. Drake laughed.

"Is that a good thing?"

"It's the best thing. Drake always smells good, but I can't ever put my finger on what exactly you smell like." Nicki smiled inhaling again. She began humming the song while she closed her eyes. "Can you sing to me?"

"Cupid doesn't lie, but you won't know unless you give it a try" Drake sung as he placed his head in the crook of Nicki's neck placing a light kiss on it. "True love, won't lie, but we won't know unless we give it a try"  Drake moved his kissed up to Nicki's jaw line. Nicki grabbed his face.

"Drake." She said sternly.

"My bad Nic." She sighed and placed her head back on his chest. "I just feel so comfortable around you. I can't explain it. I know where not together but I feel like we've been together forever. Like we did this all before and in the end we end up married." Nicki chuckled lightly.

"What? Why does this sound familiar though?" She asked.

"I'm telling you we did this before." Drake laughed.

"Boy shut up." She began humming a melody then popped her head up. "That's where. I forget how it goes..Something like ...oh babe, why is this so familiar." She tried to find the rest of the words but that's the only part she remembered.

"Just met, feel like I already know the real her. You must've done this before this can't be your first time. We must've been here before, it's still fresh on my mind. You got that shit that somebody would look for but won't find. You must've done this before this can't be your first time." Drake assisted Nicki in remembering his lyrics.

"Yea! That's it!" She squealed. "The song is almost over, but I don't want to let go." Nicki admitted at 'Cupid' was coming to an end. Drake reluctantly pulled away from her as the song came to an end. He looked over the balcony and motioned for the DJ to look up at him. When he did Drake waved his finger in a circular moton and the DJ played 'Cupid' from the beginning and the crowd cheered. Nicki smiled at Drake as he walked back over to her and they went back to dancing.
