~Cartiér's POV~

Hakeem Woke Me Up With Breakfast. Then We Took A Shower. We Were Laying Up On His Couch When I Got A Call From Cookie. "Wassup Boss" I Said Answering The Phone.

"Where You Been I Went By Your Apartment And Your Sister Said You Weren't There"

"Well If You Would've Called Me Instead Of Using Your Key, That You Copied Without My Consent,You Would've Known Where I've Been"

"Lil Girl I'm Grown. I Don't Ask For Permission. And Where Are You?"

"At Hakeem's Apartment"

"So That's Why He's Been Ignoring Tianna"

"Ummmmm"

"Mmmhhmm. Well Lucious Wants To Have A Meeting With You And Jamal"

"If It Ain't To Apologize For Lying And Having The World Believe That I'm With Jamal, Then I Ain't Going."

"Lucious Probably Didn't Mean Anything By It. You Know How He Is."

"Cookie Why Are You Defending Him? You Know He's Wrong."

"Yeah,Yeah.. Look Just Get To Empire" She Said.

"Aight"

I Hung Up And Laid Back Down On Hakeem. I Didn't Want To Leave Here. The Idea Of Getting Up And Facing The Real World Was Frightening. But I Had To Do It.

I Got Up And Hakeem Pulled Me Back Down. "Where You Going?"

"Your Father Wants To Meet With Me And Jamal"

"Oh This Should Be Great" He Laughed.

I Threw A Pillow At Him. "He Better Apologize"

"You Haven't Met My Father"

I Got Up And Grabbed My Stuff. Hakeem Opened The Door. I Pecked His Lips And Left.

"Subrina" I Yelled As I Came Into The Apartment "I Have PanCakes"I Yelled Again Walking Into The Kitchen. I Sat Down The Breakfast I Bought From The Diner.

Malani Rushed Into The Room. "Pancakes!" She Yelled Coming Into The Kitchen And Jumping Up On Me.

"So You Not Happy To See Mommy " I Said Pouting.

She Gave Me A Kiss And A Hug "GoodMorning Mommy"

"Good Morning Baby"

We Ate Breakfast And Malani Told Me About Her Dream. Suddenly There Was A Knock On The Door.

"Who Is It?" I Yelled Getting Up And Going To The Door.

"Haaakkeeemm" He Said All Exaggerated.

I Opened The Door And Let Him In. "Wassup?" I Asked.

"Well I Was Thinking, If You Have To Meet With My Dad Then Malani Needs A Baby Sitter. And Subrina Needs A Break To Live Her Life You Know. And Didn't Megan Go Back To Jersey?"

"Yeah."

"So I Was Thinking I Could Babysit Malani."

"What?"

"Look I Plan On Us Being Together For A Long Time And I Want To Spend Time With Her."

"Hakeem I Understand What You're Trying To Do, But I Don't Like Introducing My Daughter To People I Date, Definitely Not Nothing This New"

"Look I'm Serious About You And That Means I'm Serious About Malani. Besides It'll Be Fun. We're Going To Go Over My Dad's House And Go Play With Lola."

"I Don't Know"

"Say Yes Before I Force Your Hand"

I Raised My Eyebrow At His Words. He Went Over To Malani And Picked Her Up. "So Who Wants To Go See Lola Today" He Asked Tickling Her Stomach.

"Meeee" She Said Giggling. Then She Looked At Me. "Pleaseee Mommy. Can Me And Hakee Go See Lola"

I Completely Loss This Battle. "Yes"

Hakeem And Malani Began Playing, Subrina Ate Breakfast And Told Me I Better Call Her With All The Tea.

I Got Dressed And Ready To Go To Empire. I Gave My Babies A Kiss. And I Was Out The Door. I Was Suprised To See Jamal In A Town Car Parked Outside. "Wassup Mal" I Said Getting In.

"My Dad Said We Need To Go To The Meeting Together."

"Ugh. He Better Apologize"

"You Haven't Met My Dad" He Laughed.

"I Hate You... And Hakeem" I Laughed. "And Cookie Tried To Take His Side"

"They're Sleeping Together" He Said Casually.

"What?!"

"Yeah. She's Been Defending Him A Lot Lately And I Finally Called Her On It And She Admitted To Sleeping With Him"

"Wow. Does Anika Know?"

"I Don't Think So"

Soon We Pulled Up To Empire. The Driver Got Out And Opened The Door. Aftt We Walked In, the Very Handsome Head Of Security Walked Us To Lucious' Office.

"Welcome" Lucious Said Pulling Out A Seat For Me To Sit.

"You Two Have Been The Topic Of Every Magazine And Gossip Site"

"And You Did Nothing To Help. I Know What The People Have To Say. But That Isn't Why I'm Here, Now Is It?"

"I Was Getting There"

"Well Get There. Look Lucious I'm Not Trying To Be Rude, But I'm Just Really Bothered By Your Decision To Lie To The Press. And I Would Like To Hear The Reason Behind It"

"I Did It For You. I Signed You To Empire About A Week Ago And Your Name Is Already In Press Conferences. That's Huge. And Even Though They Had Some Facts Misconstrued At Least You're On The Radar. So I Said Yes. And Honestly You To Should Go Along With It. Since The Press Conference Dollar Bill Has Jumped To The #1 Spot On Itunes. And What's #2 You Ask? Well Number Two Is When It Rains."

"Look That's All Good-" I Started

"I Wasn't Finished. I Have Something For Both You. A Contract. An Offer. That Neither Of You Can Resist." Lucious Said With A Devilish Smirk On His Face.
