Two Paths Recrossed (Part 3)

SB didn't want to talk to her. He didn't even want to be looking at her. He looked over at his mother and rolled his eyes. Then he looked back to Nicki without saying a word. Nicki noticed how he was acting and she walked over to his mother to say goodbye. She whispered, 'I love you Ma, i'll call you later" then started to walk to the door when she heard SB laugh. "Oh you love her?" Nicki stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around. "So now you love her Onika answer me." Nicki stayed shut. SB got up and walked behind her. She turned around and he saw the tears in her eyes as she talked. "Yes I love her and she doesn't run away when I say it". Nicki knew that was a low blow but it hurt and he was being a kid about it.
*FLASHBACK*
"I love you Safaree"
When he heard these words he froze momentarily. Then he started to pack his stuff. Nicki was confused but once he never came back she understood that he didn't love her back.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
It hurt her that he didn't say a word. He just left for 4 months, no calls or text. NOTHING. And now here he is in her face still mad about something that she doesn't know about. He looked into her watery eyes and grabbed her face. She thought he was going to hurt her because of the anger in his eyes. 'Why isn't Mama gonna stop him?' She thought as she watched her leave the room. Nickis eyes starred straight into his then to her surprise he pulled her into a long kiss. No words after he just picked up his keys and left. Nicki sat on the couch shocked. She missed him and he's finally back and on her birthday too.
"Can you make him go to the movies with me today?"
"Onika....you wanna spend your 18th birthday in the movie theatre? I think not"
"I just wanna spend it with Safaree" Nicki said blushing.
(SB POV)
Why would I kiss her? I know we can't ever be together! I can't hurt her that way. I gotta tell her but I'm so scared. I shouldn't have come back if I wasn't ready. She's gonna hate me! I just need to stay away. The least I can do it say goodbye the right way. I'll throw her a little party with all our high school friends and while she's having too much fun to notice I'll sneak out.
(4 hours later)
"Hi"
"Hey Faree what's up?"
"Put on your dress and come to my moms house in 30 minutes"
"I don't have a dress"
"It's on your couch, see you in 30"
Nicki was confused she went down on saw a beautiful gold dress with gold shoes to match. "This nigga always forgets my jewelry!" She said out loud then smiled at the gold necklace on the table with a note 'thought I forgot? ICY NIGGA' she laughed while grabbing everything.
(Mama Samuels house)
Nicki pulled up 20 minutes late just like SB knew she would. When she got there she had to use the bathroom but her dress was too tight she knew she wouldn't make it up the stairs in time.
"Faree I have to pee!"
"Nic you know where the bathroom is, go your not a guest."
"Carry me, I won't make it with this tight ass dress you picked out"
"Okay get on my back" she gave him the death glare as he laughed and picked her up to take her to the bathroom. He pushed the fact that he had to tell her he was sick to the back of his mind. He was focused on enjoying the time they had left. To Be Continued...
