"What's wrong Nicole?" asked Nikki's new boyfriend Clifford Smith (Method Man).

"Nothing." Nikki quietly replied. She had recently broken up with Snoop Dogg, her long time boyfriend. She still loved him, and couldn't stop thinking of what could have been, but she knew it was impossible for things to ever be back to normal. She always liked Clifford as friend, but after seeing how caring he was after she told him about everything, she fell in love, but he would never replace Snoop.

"Okay. I'll let you have your peace, I was gonna go to a few stores." He told her.

"At three in the morning?" she asked.

"Yeah, see ya later sweetie." He said then kissed her softly before she left.

After he left Nikki picked up the phone and called her best friend Mariah up. (Yes, it's Mariah Carey)

"Hey girl, wuzzup?" Mariah greeted.

"Same thing." Nikki replied, "Still thinkin' bout him."

"Happened to me before to as you know, but what you gotta do is find somebod' new!" she replied.

"I did, and he is the sweetest most compassionate guy I could have gotten with, but it just, I just, I just start crying every night thinking about what me and Snoop could have been, and I can't get any sleep, and I'm basically wasted, and oh, how it is so horrible." Nikki explained.

"And have you even spoken wit' the man since ya'll broke up?" she asked.

"No." Nicole replied softly, "I'm afraid if I do, then I'll yell at him or something, it wouldn't work."

"Girly! You can't be afraid to at least try. Call him now, that will really tell him how you feel by calling at three in the morning!" she replied.

"But if things work out, what about Meth?" Nikki asked.

"Well just tell him you guys should just be friends cuz things aren't the same and tell him the truth. He knows wuz gon' on and he'll understand. Remember the reason you got wit him in the first place was cuz you admired how understanding and caring he was, so of course he'll support you through your decisions. Now call Snoop up, see what happens, cuz I gotta go to sleep. Girl, I get sleep!" she replied.

"Okay, bye." Nikki said then hung up. She nervously turned the phone back on and slowly dialed his number. "Hello?" he asked.

"Hi." Nikki said softly, "This is Nicole."

"Hey, girl, wuzzup?" he greeted.

"Calvin (his real name for those who don't know) I just gotta tell you the truth about this break-up thing, and let is all out clearly, if that's okay with you." Nikki explained.

"Go right ahead, cuz there's something I gotta tell you too." He said.

"Okay, ever since we broke up I have been so bad and miserable about it. I'm basically wasted cuz I cry all night long, can't sleep and ugh, you know. The reason is I keep thinking of what we could've been, and how I wish it could happen, and how that spark could just return. And everynight...oh I.." Nikki began to cry so the words stuttered out of her mouth, "I just think and wish things could....be.....back....to....the....way....they used to...be. Well I finally decided to...call....you....and just let everything out like I've been wanting to, but I haven't had to courage to till now. And I feel so foolish, cuz it's more my fault than yours, and I let it get to me like that...and....oh....I don't know. What were you gonna tell me?"

"Before I say, don't you have a new guy now?" he asked.

"Yes, but it's not what I want exactly. He's more like a big brother, a best friend, not somebody who I want to spend my life with as a married couple. That was what was going on with us. That's what I think about, the way our future could have been. But he's not what I want, Calvin, what I want is you. YOU are the one I've been waiting for all my life, and I shouldn't have let you go, but I did. I'm so stupid to have let you go. Now I want you back, but I don't know how you could possibly feel the same way." Nikki explained then broke into tears.

"Oh no." he said, "I never knew all this, I thought you hated me so I decided to move on."

"No!" Nikki screamed then started crying some more, "I know what you mean."

"I found some one new, and she is what I've been looking for, although she could never come close to what we could have been, she's almost there." He replied.

"No, how could I be so stupid!?" Nikki cried, "It's my fault! I let you go and now I know how it feels to be so dumb."

"Nikki, it's okay, we could always still be friends." He replied.

Nikki sniffed, "well that's a relief, but I don't know if I'll ever get myself a man in my life."

"You will Nikki, there's somebody out there just for you. And obviously with the way things went it wasn't me. What you think isn't always the truth. And I hope you find him." He replied.

"I hope so too. Thanks, maybe your more of a best friend, big brother to me too like Meth." She replied.

"Yah, maybe that's the lesson we both learn here."

"Yeah. It is. I finally gonna get me some sleep tonight." Nikki replied.
