What's your Sign?

Chapter 12 - The Warm Up

Jermaine POV

"Where the fuck are you?" I yelled in the phone as I spoke to Teyana. I was standing in the bathroom at my surprise party for the The Warm Up Mixtape.

"Look why the fuck do you care? What my father called you and told you look for me" she said with tears in her throat "just leave me alone. I want to be alone"

"Teyana just tell me where you are please" I begged her

"Alone" she spoke and hung up. Teyana was blowing the shit out of me. She wouldn't tell where she was?, who she was with?, what's wrong ?or what happened? All we knew was that she wasn't with her moms, Taylor, her father, or anybody I knew.

"Yo Cole Jay-Z is here" I heard someone say and I inhaled then exhaled. I walked out the bathroom and was greeted with the smell of weed, drunk hoes and club lights. Perfect.

I made my way up to our section . As I traveled up the stairs I seen Jay-Z talking to someone. I walked over to him.

"What's good B" he spoke

"Nothing what's good? How you been?"

"Living but I heard your mixtape, it's really good" he spoke "yo did my people ever contact you about a meeting?"

"No I haven't receive any emails or anything" I spoke and I have been checking for weeks.

"We'll look let me set it up now, in 2weeks I will be back in New York with my people and we can do a meeting" he spoke "here take my manager's number and they will contact you tomorrow for time and date"

"Yo thank you man" I said as I was taking back by his real ness.

"real recognize real" he spoke and I laughed. He pulled me a cup of Dussè and I grabbed it and started drinking it.

The whole night we talked and drunk all dark liquor. Girls was up here trying to get some and Jay-Z shrugged them off like nothing. You can see his loyalty to Beyoncé was very high. He looked but he knew he couldn't touch. He told me about not letting this shit get in the way of what I got going on. We shared very wise words as time passed. Then he asked me.

"You got a girl here?"

"Something like that"

"where is she?"

"It's a lot going on right now and she trying to handle my shit, her shit, and my infidelities but we aren't really together yet"

"Yet? You want to drag her into this? You are going make it and she will have to handle more than that" He said " unless there is nobody else you rather be there through the rough times and when you make it to the top"

It was really something to think about now that he is saying it. I mean maybe I should think about that. Do I really need someone holding on me and struggling along with me. I know she wants to do her own thing and I don't want to come between that with my bullshit.

"Yeah you have to have strong willpower as well, If that's what you truly want" he said as he stared at a girl a crossed the room that stared back at him "they all the same hoes they just change their clothes, money signs is what they see and nothing else"

"I understand that man but she's something else" I spoke "she's independent and intelligent; she's different and my words definitely can't explain"

"Tell her" he spoke and I have heard this so many times. I didn't have a way to tell her and at this moment she doesn't want to hear that shit. She not talking I'm not blaming her.

After the party I went home but not alone but that's normally how this thing works.

"so" she spoke "who is she?"
