FRIDAY.

"KAM C'MON YO" Kyra whined. She was trying to convince her best friend to come on the double date with Meech and his homie, Da'Vinchi. "No Ky. I'm not going. I don't know dude. Nor am I interested." Kam said putting up the dry dishes from earlier.

Ky smacked her teeth, "man this why people say you uptight. Always stayin' inside the house and only wanting to come out when it's convenient for you!"

Kam furrowed her eyebrows, "excuse me?!" She said processing what just came out of Ky's mouth. "First off, I'm not finna hang out with someone just cus they got money or fame. That's your lane. Not mine. I'm not interested in suckin' up to mudafukas for nothing and you know that!" she pointed her index finger at Ky.

Kam felt disrespected because Ky knew exactly who she was and when Kam said no. It was no. There was no way around it.

Ky rolled her eyes, "aight." She said getting up from the couch. "I'll tell you when I'm home" she said as she closed the door to Kam's apartment. Kam sighed and stared into space.

"Hey..." Ky began as she walked towards the elevator, "so Kam is tied up with some things. She won't make it" Ky said.

Meech shook his head on the other line, "aight I'll let him know"

Meech shook his head looking down at his lock screen that had him and his dad on it. "What would my pops do?" He thought to himself.

LATER THAT EVENING.

"Oh my God Meech that's so funny!" Ky laughed, touching Meech's arm. Meech had a big smile on his face showing his white teeth. "Yea that shit really happened" He said.

Ky chuckled, "man that's a crazy fan story. So all this fame happened overnight huh? Because lemme tell you... This year was the year I ever heard your name. I've heard your pops name cus my uncle Jeezy would always said 'oh Big Meech comin'' Ky said making hand quotes.

"Wait what?" Meech interrupted, "Jeezy your uncle?" He asked, confused.

Ky nodded, "yea."

Meech shook his head in confusion, "hol'up Young Jeezy?" Ky nodded again.

"Like Jeezy the snowman?" Meech asked once again, just so he could be clear on what Ky was saying.

"Yes Meech. Young Jeezy. Jeezy the Snowman is my uncle." She said confirming what Meech had heard.

"Yo what the fuck. That shit dope. My pops and him go way back. I remember riding in my pops Ferrari going to Jeezy video shoots." He said touching his chin reminiscing on his childhood.

"Yea, I used to go to his shoots with my dad too. Not often cus my dad didn't want me around that dope boy lifestyle." Ky said also thinking about her father.

Ky's father just like Meech's father was incarcerated for moving weight and money laundering. He was in the rap scene because of his brother, Young Jeezy but ended up getting life in prison shortly after Jeezy made his big entrance into the rap scene. That left Ky and her struggling mother in the care of her uncle until they both got on their feet.

Now, Ky was a Social Media Model and traveled all over the world.

"Damn thats wild" Meech took a sip of his wine. Ky was different than what Meech thought she'd be. She still had the gold-digging tendencies but she was cool so far.

"This was great." Ky smiled, "thank you for inviting me out." She said touching Meech's arm and moving towards his hand.

Meech looked at her moving hand and then at her, "of course. I enjoyed myself too."

After Meech paid the tab they both walked outside to wait for Ky's car at the valet.

"I'm going to a BMF premiere at Revel tomorrow night. You coming?" Meech asked just as her car was pulling in. Ky looked at him and smiled, "yea of course"

"Oh and bring your friend too" He boldly said. Meech was trying to be cool about it but that was the only way he could get close to Kam.

He scratched the back of his neck, nervously, "ya both can be at my section"

Ky looked at him for a moment. "Yea sure. I'll ask her" she said getting into her custom emerald green Porsche.

As Ky pulled out, Meech stood there hoping she didn't catch onto what he was doing. Ky was cool to him and all but she really wasn't his type.

After all, someone once said, "You gotta do. What you gotta do."

Ky looked back through her rear view mirror feeling all types of dazed from what had just happened. She really didn't think Meech was a cool, down to earth type. But he was.

It was like Meech had the bad dope boy vibe but if you truly got to know him - he was humble, quiet, reserved, and respectful. Ky didn't run into too many guys like him.

Needless to say she had to tell her confidant about what had just happened.

She took an exit off 75 North and headed towards her best friend's apartment. She didn't care what time it was. Or what Kam was doing. All she wanted to do was release the burst of hype and excitement she felt at this very moment.

"Yo Kam!" she rang the bell from the entrance of the parking deck, "let me in!" She buzzed a few more times.

"What Ky" she heard Kam's sleepy voice through the speaker. "Let me in! Please! It's urgent!" Ky said waving at the camera from inside her Porsche.

Kam sighed and buzzed her in. Within seconds Ky rushed inside Kam's apartment. "Oh my God! Oh my god! Oh. My. God!!" Ky jumped up and down holding onto Kam's hands.

Kam looked at her as she jumped up and down, still half asleep. "I swear Meech is fuckin' dope yo!" She said dropping her body on Kam's soft creamy-colored couch.

"Ahhh!" She left out a fan girl yell. Kam twisted her mouth, semi-annoyed. "Okay."

"Kam, we had dinner. We talked and he told me about his dad. I even talked about Unc Sno" Ky looked up at the ceiling remembering her and Meech's conversation.

"That's great. Can I go back to sleep now?" Kam said, not trying to be rude but also trying to be as rude as possible.

Ky looked at her sleepy best friend, "I'm sorry Kam. I know it's late and you got your big girl job to go to but I'm just really excited" She cheesed.

Kam yawned and moved the piece of hair hanging in front of her face behind her ear, "yea no it's fine. I'm happy for you too but it's one in the morning Ky."

Ky looked at the clock on Kam's stainless steal stove. Kam was right. It was late. "Okay I'm sorry. Can I stay over?" She said suddenly feeling the desire to not drive.

"Sure." Kam dryly responded as she dragged herself back to her comfortable bed.

Ky walked into Kam's guest bathroom and proceeded to take her make up off. She took out her skin care products she left at Kam's apartment for nights like these.

After doing her routine, she went to Kam's guest bedroom aka her room and looked inside the closet for her 'emergency clothes.' Once she found a big t-shirt. She slide under the covers and let her mind relax while thinking about Meech.

One step closer.
