3 months later...

De'Shawn's POV:

"I want them butterfly kisses, when my baby gets home.

I get them butterfly wishes, when I smell his cologne.

(Dreaming of..)

When Im touching your nature..

(Lifts me up..)

When Im yurning inside.. "

*Butterfly Kisses by Paula Deanda, Frankie J & Baby Bash blasting on the sound system in the minimansion.*

I've been cleaning up all day, since it's a Sunday. You gotta start early cause it's a big ass house. Im just jamming to my music, Which puts me in my mode. We dont get to see Maria this month cause Kacey took her to visit family in Arkansas. I don't mind the break because she let us keep her all last month. Shes gotten so big and she's crawling. I think she gone start walking and talking Soon. Just wait on it.

Every since we've moved in here, life has been getting better. D and I are always busy with something on almost everyday of the week. I feel like we're making progress in our future. I had to quit my job at footlocker but they let me give my spot to my girl Jaee. They said they miss me but I mean, who wouldn't? I have bigger and better things to do anyway. My dancing career is perfect. I have classes in my basement Every Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays. Im even getting all my students ready for auditions this winter for my dance crew. I named it Victim II Society™. I've gotten my license for my hair salon as well, once again, it's in my basement. I still go to UCLA and I had to super push to get back on track. If I really want to double major, I really need to stay focused. Which is most of the reason why D and I haven't really seen each other much. I've been focused on school, dance, the salon and D has been handling the trap, and doing music. Most of the neglect is from me, I believe.

Most days, I only see him when Im cleaning up and hes getting ready to go to the studio or he had just came home early enough to eat the dinner I had cooked for him but he leaves again. Some times he comes home so late, I dont even bother to wait for him anymore. Shit, I got stuff to do in the morning, you know? But its all good, I still love my baby.

Since Sundays are my cleaning days, I don't book anything on this day. Im just chilling in my jammys. It's 6pm right now and I am almost done with the house. I MUST admit, this is the fastest I've ever cleaned this house.

I'm vacuuming the living room floor and will be cleaning the kitchen before I start cooking. D is upstairs either sleep or getting ready to go to the studio. He got home at 3 today so Im sure he done got him in a good nap. Speaking of the devil, guess who's walking downstairs looking good.

He's wearing the red true religion jeans I bought him and a black, red, and gold versace tshirt. He even got on his black and gold, Jordan 11's. He left his dreads down and put in his gold snake bites. I just wanted to jump on him.

Me: "Looking good, Handsome."

He walks towards me with a million dollar smile on his face.

D: "Hey, Beautiful. *Kiss* Im finna head to the studio and finish this mixtape for the party Next week."

He's throwing me a birthday party next weekend and Im letting him perform there so he can drop the mixtape, all of Cali been waiting for. I think this is going to be the best 20th birthday party a girl could ever have. A few of my dance students and I will be in his performance. Of course the birthday girl gets a shout out from Legacy (De'Mario's stage name) but also because Im his leading lady.

Me: "Okay, What time do you think you'll be home?"

D: "Probably midnight, that's the latest. But what you gonna cook?"

Me: "Umm..Im thinking soul food tonight."

He grins and pulls me in closer by my waist.

D: "That sounds lovely, what about dessert? *kisses my hand softly*"

Me: "Depends on how early you come home. I got things to do tomorrow. Midnight is late enough. Bae, I can't be tired in the morning."

He sighs irritably and let's go of my waist. I know this fool ain't got an attitude because I don't want to have sex with him.

D: "Iight, I'll see you later."

He walks to the door, No hug, No kiss. Fuck it. I don't care.

Me: "Alright."

I just turned the vacuum back on and continued what I was doing. I heard him Shut the door on his way out. I don't have time to be arguing.

Once I was done with the living room, I started the kitchen. Tonight Im finna throw down. Corn, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, corn bread, baked beans, and baked macaroni. That sounds like a lot. But I have enough time and money to do so. Maybe, I'll invite someone over to keep me company and eat some of this food.

I can't call Mia cause the kids got school tomorrow and she got work in the morning. I can't call Ari cause Jr took her and Ray Ray out to eat. It's family night for them. I can't call Jaee cause she got work in the morning too, Plus she and Dev need some alone time tonight cause they barely see each other anymore either. RJ, Rico, & Matt are all in Vegas right now and Im right here. Cooking all this food, for nobody to eat. It's all good though. I'll just go to bed earlier. I'll make his plate and put the left overs away. Then take a long hot shower and take my ass to sleep.

Just Me, Myself, & I...

De'Mario's POV:

Since we moved in this house, I been trying to make my life make sense. Somehow, it's going perfectly. Im getting this mixtape ready for this party cause there will be a lot of famous artists and producers there that will be watching me... Thanks to Shawny and her business lady alter ego. She even found me a plug to get the producer I have now, All she had to do was give the man a free hair cut.

I been at the trap making sure everything is going the way it's supposed to. I know Shawny don't like that shit but it's really what's getting food on our table, the house that we live in, and paying her way through college. So, she can't complain too much. Once I make it big I'll get out the game, though. I just want to make sure we straight at all costs. Once she done with school, she said she'll marry a nigga. That's gone be some years man. Im trynna keep her happy until then.

She been busy like Hell lately and I barely get to see her. When I do get to see her, I gotta head to the studio or I got to go to the trap. It ain't gone be like this for long but until we reach our goal, this how it's gone be. I know she a ride or die so I don't too much worry about the situation right now unless she addresses it. I'll just act like everything normal cause it's not like she gone leave me.

Honestly, I didn't mean to get an attitude before I left but I really do miss having sex with my girl. We barely even touch each other anymore. I just want some alone time with her. Just wait until her birthday party, Im gone give her the best after party there is.

Aaron: "Okay, that was good. Now let's take it straight from the top."

Aaron is my producer for now, him and Shawny came up with a deal, If I use his label for my first album then he'll get the hottest artists and producers to show up at the party. He even said, he can announce her party on the radio. Now, If that ain't some shit God did. I don't know what is.

Aaron brings the beat back and I get back in my mood.

" Made it out the ghetto.
But haven't got it out my system.
It runs through my blood.
It is blood. & I do miss them.
I can't white out all my past.
But I dont see it in my future.
I try to show us a better path.
But feelings get caught in the mixture... "

*New Me by Legacy*
(Not a real song, I made it up)

After I was done recording, Aaron wanted to have a talk with me.

Aaron: "You're doing great. The vocals are perfect, and the enthusiasm is key. We're done with the mixtape and we start rehearsal for the party tomorrow. We only have a week so you gone have to put in hours. Get used to hearing my voice. I don't know how De'Shawn is going to do it but she has to be here too. You're going to perform 5 songs on this mixtape. Tonight, choose the best ones. Here's a copy and you better know them by heart."

Me: "Iight, thanks Aaron. I appreciate you doing this for me."

Aaron: "Shit, you cool peeps. I ain't got no reason to not do my job. So, I'll see you tomorrow at 9am"

I nodded and dapped him up, grabbing my CD and heading for the door.

De'Shawn's POV:

I had just got out the shower and put my new jammys on when I heard D come home.

Wow, he's home early.

It's only 10 and he said he'll be back at midnight. I guess I'll go spend a little time with him before I go to bed. I run downstairs to find him in the fridge already. I show him his plate and he warmed it up, even adding more. That nigga MUST have been hungry.

Me: "Hey, love."

D: "Wassup, Bae."

Me: "You're home early, how was the studio session?"

He sighed and got ready to say something but didn't. He just continued to eat his food.

D: "Can I eat first?"

I raised an eyebrow at him and wanted to cuss him out but I can't complain. He don't like talking while he's hungry. I just nodded and headed upstairs.

D: "Shawny."

I stopped dead in my tracks.

Me: "Yeah?"

I tried to sound as normal as can be.

D: "I know you don't have an attitude."

Me: "No, Im just going upstairs. I don't wanna sit in your face while you eat."

He didn't say a word and I proceeded up the stairs. To be honest, that man has changed but haven't noticed it. Im too busy hiding my feelings from him, that he thinking shit sweet. One of these days Im going to explode and he is not gone like it.

I lay in bed as D finishes up his food. Once I heard him put his plate in the sink, I rushed downstairs to wash it. He grabbed his keys and a CD and walked out the kitchen.

Me: "Where you going?"

He looked at me annoyed but Im mad he leaving cause he just got here.

D: "Upstairs...?"

Me: "Oh."

He shook his head and smirked while walking upstairs. I don't know what's got into this nigga, but it need to hop the fuck out cause I ain't having it. I walk back upstairs and into the room. D was taking off his clothes and putting on some black basketball shorts. I just got under the covers and laid down, hoping to fall asleep.

D: "So, you not talking?"

This nigga is really pissing me off for cutting into me like this, I don't have the time and patience. I will literally fall asleep on his ass. Got me Fucked up. I was still laying on my side with my back towards him when I began to speak.

Me: "How was the studio session?"

D: "It was fun. We got rehearsal for the party at 9am tomorrow. I even finished my mixtape."

Me: "That's what's up, Congratulations. I wanna hear."

D: "Imma be playing it all night cause I gotta know five of the songs by heart."

Me: "Baby, you need rest."

He sighed in irritation and I frowned a little. Whatever he got going on, he can keep to himself. I got shit to do tomorrow and including dance rehearsal for the party. We both need sleep but he can't straighten out his priorities. I just closed my eyes and fell asleep on his ass. He fucking up my mood.

De'Mario's POV:

Did she just fall asleep on me?

I called her name a few times and that nigga was knocked. Im beyond pissed but don't really care. I wasn't really feeling her tonight, anyway. Im all about this music tonight and she too much of a distraction.

I grab my notebook, pen, phone, and mixtape before heading downstairs. I play the music on the sound system and jot down any parts I'll have trouble remembering. I sit down on the couch and practice all night to keep me in my mode.

De'Shawn's POV:

I woke up at like 3am to go pee and D was gone. I sighed cause it wasn't a surprise, he probably had to do something at the trap or chilling with E.

Once I was done using the bathroom, I heard a man's voice downstairs. Halfway down the staircase, I realized it was D. He can't be serious. He's going to be so tired tomorrow. I know music is the only thing he cares about right now but he should at least sleep right. As tired as I am I manage to continue downstairs. He's really in his mode. I creep up behind him and wrap my arms around his neck, sliding my hands down his chest. He took a deep breath before realizing who I was.

Me: "Baby, when are you coming back to bed? I miss you." I said in a sleepy voice.

D: "I don't know, I gotta have this shit perfect before the morning."

Me: "It is the morning, 3 to be exact."

He sighed not realizing how late it was. He had bags under his eyes and he just looked so tired. I sat next to him grabbed his notebook. He had written 10 pages of the same lyrics of different songs. He's a perfectionist alright. Im amazed how passionate he is about this.

D: "Bae, I'll be up there when Im done, Alright. Go back to sleep."

He grabbed the notebook from me and went back to writing. I grabbed his pen and made him look at me.

Me: "Look, I know you're stressed and want everything to go the way it's supposed to but doing this to yourself is causing more problems. Put the notebook down, play the instrumentals, not the mixtape, and say the lyrics how you want to say them. You've said these lyrics about a million times and I know cause you wrote them, now stop making yourself do extra work when you don't need to. You got this, baby. I know you do. Im just gone sit with you until your done, cause Im not letting you do this to yourself."

By this time, he had me straddling him and his arms were around my waist. He took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes.

D: "Thank you, baby. *kiss* Just let me do this and we can go upstairs. Okay?"

Me: "Okay."

He gave me another kiss and I sat next to him, my legs crossed and facing towards him.

I rocked to the beat as he went in with the lyrics on one song. The last song was my favorite. He sung and rapped in that song, he called it Angel of Mine. I smiled as his beautiful voice echoed in my mind. Once he was done he turned the music off and carried me upstairs bridal style. It's 4 going on 5 and I regret letting him stay up this late. Once he go to sleep, he ain't gone want to get up. We laid on the bed with my back facing D and he turned me around. He climbed on top of me putting my arms over my head and staring me in my eyes.

D: "What's wrong?"

Me: "Nothing, I was just finna go to sleep."

He tried to study me with his eyes staring deeply in mine.

D: "Are you mad at me?'

I shook my head No and he kissed my forehead. I tried holding in my smile as he revealed his pearly whites.

"How about now?"

I shook my head No again and he kissed my nose. This time I blushed and looked away showing my dimples.

"What about now?"

I giggled and semi yelled No. He kisses my lips and pulled away to early causing me to be teased. Once I pouted, he smirked.

"Just what I wanted to see."

He began kissing on my and giving me hickies.

Me: "Baby, we gotta get up really early in the morning. Can you stop!"

His kisses got more aggressive and a low moan escaped my lips.

D: "If you want to get up on time, I suggest that you stop moaning in my damn ear."

I bit my lip and tried to hold in my next one but his right hand made it's way into my boy shorts and started rubbing me down.

"Mmmaaahh... Baby.."

He chuckled and got off of me. I mugged him down for teasing me like that but he just chuckled again.

D: "Baby, Im done fucking with you. Now let's go to sleep. That's what you wanted right?"

He chuckled again and kissed my neck. He made me feel the way he did so I guess it's pay back. But we do need to go to sleep and he need it most of all. I laid on my back while he laid his head on my chest. I swear he loved that position cause he never stopped smiling. That man is a trip. It wasn't long before I head soft snores coming from him. I knew right then he needed the sleep. Aww, poor baby...

The next morning...

I woke up to the sound of my business ringtone going off. I Check to see it was Aaron.

Me: "Hello?"

Aaron: "I know it's too early to be calling you and I apologize but I tried calling Legacy first and didn't get an answer, Im assuming he's still sleep."

Me: "Yeah, he was working pretty hard last night."

Aaron: "I bet. That's what I like to hear. Well, I was just calling to tell you that since he would probably you late trying to be perfect as always, You don't have to bring him at 9. Just make sure he gets here before 10, okay?"

Me: "Oh, okay. Well, Thank you. I greatly appreciate it because he really needs his sleep this morning."

Aaron: "Yup, No problem. I'll see you later."

Me: "Alright, bye bye."

He chuckled before hanging up. He's such a sweet heart. That's why I like old people, that are so kind and understanding. I look down at D whose face is snuggled in my breast. I honestly love this position. His left leg was in between my legs as my right leg wrapped around his back and his hand right above my ass. I love the manly smell of his dreads and his natural scent covers my body. Looking down at him, I smile knowing he belongs to me. I take a quick morning selfie with my love and post it on instagram tagging him in it.

"@call_me_shawny: Good Morning from Mrs & Mr Smith @she_moans_legacy I love my big baby ❤"

I run my fingers through his dreads as I watch him sleep for a little.

Me: "Aww, Daddy schleeping like a widdo baby." I whisper like a mother talking to her child.

I know he was tired and need as much sleep as he can get. I don't even want to move. I kiss him on the forehead before checking the time again.

7:37am

Okay, I think I should get up and get ready. My dancers will be here at 9 and I got time to cook D some breakfast. I manage to get from under D without him waking up. I kissed his cheek before walking into the bathroom and taking a shower.

After the shower, I handle my hygiene and skin moisturizer. Since today is rehearsal day, I need to be geared. I put on my Nike gray long sleeve under armor. I decided to put on my black volleyball shorts with my grey under armor socks. I slipped on my neon pink, baby blue, and black Nike airmaxes. I pulled my black 22" vixen sewin that was parted in the middle into a ponytail behind my ears the sat on my neck. I put on much black Nike headband to make sure my bangs don't bother me. After looking in the mirror to see what I was missing, I decide to go downstairs and make my king some food.

8:17am

I'm going to make him some eggs, Bacon, sausages, pancakes, grits, and cheese. Imma make maltomeal for myself, that's all imma eat. Maybe a sausage or two but Im not a big fan of meat.

8:53am

Im finally done cooking and Im now washing the pots and pans I used. D came rushing downstairs all ready to go in the some shit he obviously just threw on. I was holding back a laugh cause he don't know he got an extra hour to be there. But I don't think he found any of this shit funny. Once he seen the food, he frowned and flipped out.

D: "Why the Fuck didn't you wake me up!? You down here cook-"

Me: "Calm ya ass down. Now, it is too early to be yelling like this. Aaron called me and gave you until 10 to be there. Come sit down and eat."

He blew a breath of frustration and began to walk away shaking his head.

D: "Im not hungry."

Me: "I don't care about the attitude you got going on but you finna eat this food. I ain't make this shit for nothing. Obviously, cause I don't eat this shit. MY food right here in this bowl, now Eat."

He looked at me like I was crazy but he still did as he was told.

8:59am

I hear a knock at the door and I already know who it is.

Me: "Those are my dancers, keep your eyes where they are supposed to be and I won't have to confiscate them. You'll be the first blind rapper, try me If you want."

I heard him mumbling something under his breath but If he was bad, he would have said it out loud. Let me find out. I opened the door and all 9 of my dancers came at once like they came in the same ride. D said he wanted all females and I wanted to be a nice girlfriend and get him some. So, fortunately all the females in my dance classes were nominated to be his back up dancers. I ain't even gone hate, most these girls are bad asf and could steal my man If they were stupid enough but he bet not even think about it or I would cut his fingers off.

Me: "Wassup ladies, we will be leaving in a half an hour so why don't you head downstairs and warm up and stretch. Be sure to grab you a water If you do not already have one, it's in the fridge as usual. Don't wait up for me, I'll be down in a moment. Cassie, I need you to lead the warm up."

Cassandra: "Okay, Coach."

D didn't even notice me staring at him because his eyes were glued on Cassandra's ass. I was about to go wash out my bowl but I might slip up and slap the taste out his mouth so I just go downstairs.

De'Mario's POV:

Man, my morning has just been made. All I see is ass and titties. I can't help but look. Shawny set me up for failure, I know she was staring at me but that girl Cassie, bless her genes... and that ass... On God, she can get it. I know Im wrong but damn. I will have to keep my distance from these girls, they gone get me caught up. Shawny went downstairs to warm up with her dancers or whatever. Once I was done with my food, I put my dishes in the sink and rinsed them off for Shawny to wash them. I went to the living room and sprawled across the couch looking through my phone while I wait on Shawny. I was scrolling through my instagram and found a picture that she posted and tagged me in like 2 hours ago. I loved her goofey ass and her face was priceless. Her high cheek bones and chubby native American cheeks plus the dimples make a nigga act a fool over her. Her yellow ass would have you thinking she foreign until you bring the nigga outta her and she go straight Hood on Yo ass. I have come to believe my baby is bipolar. But don't tell her I said that shit.

9:33

Shawny: "Baby, get up. It's time to go."

I had accidentally fell asleep waiting for her ass. I ain't gone lie, Im tired as Hell this morning and not sure it's gone be a good day. Im not in the mood for a nigga to try me. I get up and grab my phone and keys as we walked to my red Jeep. Once we got in, I felt eyes burning holes through the side of my head. I look over to see Shawny staring at her phone.

She bet not be playing games with me.

I snatch her phone and look her dead in her eyes.

Shawny: "Gimme my fucking phone, D."

I raised my eyebrow at her.

Me: "Yo what's yo problem, man. You gone stop talking to me like you crazy, forreal. Im tired of hearing your mouth."

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms sitting back in the passenger seat as she looked at out the window. I threw her phone on her lap and she knocked it to the floor. Man, her attitudes would make you want to choke the Hell outta her.

The ride to The Palace (a club I made up) was silent. Shawny still haven't picked up her phone off the floor and she just let it vibrate. I tried putting my hand her thigh but she acted like it wasn't even there. It's cool though. Once we pulled up in the parking lot, Shawny hopped out grabbing her Nike duffle bag. Leaving the phone on the floor and slamming the door. I tried catching up with her but she already a speed walker so her walking even faster was showing me she really wasn't going to give up on avoiding me. But them shorts did her some justice. Once again I felt someone watching me but I know it's not Shawny this time, so I turn around to see Cassie getting out of her tan Camaro. She was blushing so I know her ass was the one staring at me. I feel bad for cutting into Shawny like that now, but she ain't have to catch an attitude like that.

De'Shawn's POV:

Well, there you have it. He's tired of hearing my mouth but he snatched MY phone out of MY hand? Look, I don't care anymore. I'll just give him his space. He needs that shit. I ain't even touch that phone because he shouldn't have took it in the first place. He could keep that shit.

I walked into the club and found Aaron. I gathered my girls and approached him.

Me: "Hey, Aaron."

Aaron: "Good morning, Beautiful ladies. Oh, and Legacy... Are you guys ready to get to work?"

Me: "Yes, we are." I said with a confident smile. Undermining my attitude with D.

I hopped on the stage and got the girls in formation while D took care of the mic. Dancing is my life and Im not in the mood for any attitudes or Fuck ups so they better be on top of shit this morning.

Aaron: "Iight, DJ Rip. Begin in 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1"

D performed a song called Money Matters as we danced to it. So far so good. I just need to critique some things.

Me: "Angie, make sure you remember loosen up a lil but not too much to where you're sloppy, okay?"

Angela: "Yes, Coach."

Me: "Umm, & Cassie, try to stay focused. You're doing all the right moves and at all the right times but I don't see No type of enthusiasm. I want facials from you, you have a pretty face, use it. Stop staring off into left field."

Cassie: "Okay."

Aaron: "Okay, back to the top."

De'Mario's POV:

I was having the time of my life being on that stage. I had No problems. I just can't wait until this bitch is packed. I felt eyes crawling on my neck again Which caused me to turn around and link eyes with Cassie in the middle of the song. I sure hope this bitch know how crazy Shawny is. She better watch out. Imma spend all week with these girls and they are teasing a nigga. I need a blunt. Like a strong one. Something that would keep me stable for a atleast a week. Lord knows I need it...

Friday Night...

De'Shawn's POV:

It's Friday, June 8th and it's my birthday. The party is tonight and I will turn up until I pass out. I ain't been to a party this huge or important before in my life so I might as well treat it like my last. Im going to be 20 and glad that I made it past 18. Thanks to Mr. Smith and my real dad, I can live my life. I can't wait to see them later on at the party. I got a toast to make at the dinner party, afterwards.

Right now, Im finna hop in the shower and get ready to go to the best party of my life.

8:30pm

After my shower, do my other hygiene stuff. I put my body shaper on and have my make up artist that that I hired for tonight and my hair stylist I hired as well hook my up. I slip on my birthday dress which was a red long sleeve turtle neck that revealed my cleavage and had a lace back. It fits my curves and my red lace push up bra made my rack off the chain. My body suit did my curves and booty some justice. I slipped on my nude heels with the red sole and a red bow around my ankle. I feel beyond good. My curls and make up was on point, I just wanted to cry.

10:15pm

Im already late to my own party but it really don't start until 11 so I won't be rushing. I text Mia to let her know, Im omw there. I haven't seen D since rehearsal earlier so I will be riding to the party alone. I text all my dancers to see If they all made it already if not they need to be there by 10:30 cause I need them prepared and warmed up. I grab my nude color with red lining and inside MK tote and my phone and head out to my car locking my door.

On the ride to the Palace I turn up the radio so I can calm my nerves. I hear the man on the radio say something about the Palace and I got hella excited.

Radio: "Ladies & Gentlemen, If youre looking for the time of your life tonight, stop by the Palace. There is a huge birthday party going on for the young Miss De'Shawn Hill, she'll be turning 20. Happy Birthday Misses Hill. I hope you have a great time."

I smile and say thank you like he could hear me.

"There will be a new and upcoming artist by the name of Legacy performing, so go and Check him out. I garantee you'll enjoy your time. Be sure to look out for the well known celebrities as well. Tonight, that club with be hot so don't miss out. Ladies get in free after midnight and it's 5$. You know how they roll. Goodnight, California"

I nearly swerved the car jumping for joy. Once I made it to the Palace, that bitch was almost running out of parking spaces but since Im VIP, I get a special spot that was reserved for me. I hopped out my pink range, grabbed my purse and locked my doors behind me. I walked into the club and nearly fainted. The line long but of course I got in first.

Guard: "Happy Birthday Miss Hill"

Me: "Thank you"

I smiled and walked towards the VIP section that had my squad sitting in their pairs. Mia & Eric, Jaee & Devin, Jr & Ari, Rico, RJ, & Matt. I hug everyone cause it's been so long since we've all been together and actually chilled. Im so happy right now.

Mia: "Bitch, you look gorgeous! Imma have to take Yo ass home with me."

Me: "Thank you, Mimi. You do too girl."

I laugh cause this girl a trip.

Ari & Jr: "That dress is banging and you rocking them shoes." "YES, Sis you bet not make me have to fight a nigga tonight."

Me: "Thanks Sis & I got you bro"

I loved the compliments I was getting cause I was thinking this was too much. I wonder where D is cause I wanna speak to him before he steals the show tonight.

Me: "Where's D at?"

Everyone shrugged their shoulders.

Eric: "He was here, he came with me."

Mia: "Yeah, he said he was going to the bathroom."

Devin: "He was talking to that girl by the bathroom."

I grew furious cause I know he ain't that stupid but Imma not let him stress me out tonight. It's all about me. This is my night. I just sat awkwardly in the Booth while everyone stared at me knowing Im trying to not be upset.

Mia: "Shawny, I think you need a drink."

Me: "Girl, you know I don't drink."

I got up and walked to the bathroom. I bumped past Cassie on my way there and she looked surprised to see me.

Cassie: "Sorry, Coach. But Damn!! You looking good."

Me: "You're good, and Thank you. Where's the rest of the girls and Legacy?"

Cassie: "I don't know where the other girls are but Legacy is right there."

She pointed to him walking towards the Booth.

Me: "Well, get the girls over to my Booth when you see them cause I gotta talk to yah."

She nodded and the crowd swallowed her in. I headed for the Booth again and D looked surprised too.

D: "Damn, baby. You looking like a milli. Shit, we might have to leave early."

Me: "Thank you."

I fake smile and he kissed my lips.

D: "You ready for tonight?"

I nodded and he smiled.

Me: "Are you?"

D: "You already, know."

I smirked and I looked him in the eyes, I could tell he'd been drinking already.

Me: "How long have you been here?"

D: "Since like 10."

Me: "Have you seen the girls?"

He shook his head.

D: "Nah"

He's lying.

Me: "Oh, well If you see them can you tell them to come here?"

He nodded yeah and looked at someone in the crowd.

D: "Yeah, but AYE. Im finna go do something real quick. I love you. Happy birthday."

He was gone before I could even respond. Leaving me hanging, He disappeared in the crowd. I sat there thinking and nearly fucked up my make up by accidentally putting my face in my hands.

Devin: "Shawny, I know you upset but this is your day. Don't let any nigga Fuck up your shit. I know you love him but he a grown man and he obviously too drunk to see what he missing out on. Don't take this shit personal, party. Get into it."

I thanked him and gave him a hug. Devin Is really my eye opener he has always been the one who did nice things for me but taught me a lesson behind it.

De'Mario's POV:

Tonight is the night that may change my life. I get to show the world what it takes to be the best. Im just so damn nervous I decided to get tipsy. Shit, I decided not to drink nothing else but I sure hope I don't regret this shit.

Shawny came here looking all beautiful and shit. She had a nigga on hard the whole time just by talking to me. I really couldn't focus cause I was looking at her breast and Cassie was undressing a nigga with her eyes so I just couldnt resist giving her this D for the one time. She obviously need it and is very hungry for that shit. The moment I walked away from Shawny to go to the bathroom she texted me.

Cassie: "Daddy, I want you inside of me right now. Meet me in the back."

Me: "Im omw."

I have a feeling this is some shit I shouldn't be doing but I just got overly horny and need a quick nut. So I make my way through the crowd and follow her to the back. She tried to kiss me but I wasn't down for all of that mouth to mouth shit. I just need her to take off that damn one piece bathing suit looking thing. She was taking to long so I just damn there ripped that shit off off of her. After I was done ramming her from the back, of course with a condom, I had her give me some brain until I nutted in her face. That's what all my hoes MUST do. Drunk or not, never forget that rule.

Once we got back inside she ran to for wash her face and I got ready to perform.

Aaron: "Put your hands together for Legacy!"

I ran on stage with my mic in hand and confronted the crowd for the first time.

Me: "Wassup, Cali how Yah doing?!"

Crowd: "Good!!"

Me: "That's what's up, well I hope youll be feeling better after I get off stage."

The dancers ran on stage and I blew a kiss to Shawny who was mugging me down. If looks could kill, man. I started my performance and got in my mode.

Once I was done performing, I had the crowd in love. I never felt so much love from so many people at once. This a feeling a nigga will never get used to.

Me: "Before I get off stage and let Yah enjoy your evening, I would like to say something to a very special person."

I looked at Shawny and she avoided eye contact.

"I would like De'Shawn Hill to come join me on stage please."

I heard the crowd cheering and yelling for her to come down. The spot lights even shined on her beautiful ass. She gave in and Aaron walked her on stage next to me. I pulled her in by her waist and she put on the fakest smile ever.

"I want everyone to meet my girl, Shawny. This is her party tonight and She's officially 20."

The crowd yelled happy birthday and she thanked everyone.

"This girl right here, has made this happen for me and I can't Thank her enough for this shit man."

I started to tear up but Shawny put her hand on my chest to calm me.

"Shawny, I don't know what I would do without you and I love you for still sticking with me even though I do stupid shit."

She smiled and kissed me then hugged me. She whispered in my ear telling me she loved me too.

"Goodnight, Compton. Thank you for having me."

With that, I walked hand and hand off stage with my girl while the crowd cheer. Aaron walked up to us and told me I did a good job. Man, I was ready to go home and pass out at this point. I just wanted to sit down and think about what just happened.

While we were sitting at the booth chilling and drinking. We told stories and had fun. Even though Shawny didn't drink nothing but juice and water, she broke her shell and started having fun on her birthday. Shawny was in the middle of talking when a nigga cut her off. We turned to look at him and it was Tyga. Beside him was Kendrick Lamar & Chris Brown. I swear all the females at our table lost their train of thought, most of all, Shawny was speechless. Undressing them niggas with her eyes and shit.

Tyga: "Im sorry for cutting you off, Miss De'Shawn."

He licked his lips and stared at her seductively.

Shawny: "No, you good. Mr. Stevenson." Biting her bottom lip.

Tyga: "Happy Birthday by the way." kissing her hand.

Chris: "Yeah, Happy birthday."

Kendrick: "Happy Birthday."

Shawny: "Thank you guys very much."

Tyga: "You're always welcome"

Chris: "My pleasure."

Kendrick: "You're welcome"

Im mad these mothafuckas is flirting with my girl right infront of me and she letting them.

Me: "Can I help you?"

Tyga looked up from Shawny and smirked.

Tyga: "Well, we came to sign you, If you were interested."

Everyone at the table cheered and I can't front a nigga was happy.

Me: "Nah, Yah can't be serious."

He laughed.

Tyga: "I felt the same way too when I got on. But man to man. I wouldn't be up any other niggas area If it wasn't about serious business, ya feel me?"

I stood up and dapped them all up.

Me: "Hell yeah, I feel you. So let's talk business."

Everyone scooted over for them to fit in the Booth and we got down to business.

Chris: "All you gotta do is say Yes or No. If yes, then we'll have a dinner party set for next weekend. If No, then we'll leave you alone."

Me: "Shit, Im ready to do this shit. Hell yeah, Im in!"

Tyga: "Then, I'll see you and the misses next Friday. Here's our numbers, contact us whenever."

Me: "Iight, fashoo."

Chris: "You look beautiful tonight, De'Shawn.*kisses hand*"

Shawny blushed so hard she nearly passed out.

Shawny: "Thank you"

They left and probably had my girl all up in her feelings. But shit, a nigga just caught him a record deal.

Next Friday...

De'Shawn's POV:

I get home from teaching my students some new choreography and run upstairs ready to go to sleep. When I make it upstairs I find a note, and beautiful black dress, diamond necklace, diamond earrings and black heals with silver design and diamonds on the toes laying on the bed. I sat there speechless. I decided to read the note.

"Get ready, I better see you in everything."

I took a quick shower and hooked myself up. The dress fit perfectly. It was all black with one longsleeve and the other side strapless on the sleeve side the fabric was in a big rose. This dress is beautiful. I just love how it fits on me. I decided to my by hair in a high bun that look a flower I then put on the jewelry. Once I was done getting dressed, D walked into the room.

D: "I knew it would look perfect on you. You ready?"

Me: "Thank you, and yeah."

D: "It's all for you ... let's go."

We headed for the door and my mouth dropped when I seen the limo.

Me: "Bae-"

D: "They offered, I didn't ask."

We stepped in the limo and headed for the dinner party.

De'Mario's POV:

I find this very unreal right now. I would have never thought that this would really happen. I just thought dreams were just to be dreamt of. I guess not. Cause nigga I made it.

Shawny & I was escorted to a long table with all the members of Young Money™. You don't understand how happy a nigga was to be in this position. Im even happier to have my ride or die right by my side. We take our seats and say hello to everyone. Once everyone were settled. Lil Wayne stood and began to speak.

Wayne: "Wassup, yah. We all know this nigga right here got talent. Now, we ain't finna try to go through No big process cause once you in, you in for life. Let's give a hand for the newest member of Young Money."

They brought the paper for me to sign on the dotted line. Once I was finished we continued to each and they asked me hella questions that I didn't mind. But shit, it felt good to finally make it to where you always wanted to go. I made it. I got my girl. I got my money, I got my daughter, and now I got my career. Life If fucking great. Shit, Im ready for the next level...

De'Mario has finally made it. Being signed was his dream and right now, all his dreams are set. But what he failed to realize is that he will be home a lot less than what he usually is and now that he has a new posse, partying gets pretty regular especially since they're famous. How do you think Shawny will be able to handle his new lifestyle?

---------------------

Happy Birthday Shawny!

Congratulations De'Mario!

*That's Ray Ray in the MM*
