"Good morning, about last nigh-" I said before I was cut off.
"Let's not talk about last night, ok. Let's just move on." Aaliyah said.

I planned for us to go to an art show for new and upcoming artists. I knew this was something Liyah wanted to do when we got out here and it would help get me out the dog house.

We both finished getting ready and made our way to the event.

"Baby, come on. I know I was wrong but I think we should talk it through."

"Don't worry about it. Just don't ever do no shit like that again." She said with a cryptic smile.

We made our way to the escalade and security began to drive to the event that was in Brickell. I wore a gorgeous pair of white linen trousers along with a hot pink top accessorized with my pink Hermès oran sandals and white Birkin with  platinum hardware.

Aubrey sported a pair of medium wash jeans with a white t shirt and a black short sleeve button up that he left open along with his all white air force ones.

Once we pulled up to the location, valet opened the doors for us and security jumped out following us inside and letting valet park the car. When we entered I saw an artist friend that Aubrey have bought a few pieces from, Hebru Brantley. Hebru is an afro futurist artist that we know through Ryan. She had a few pieces of his art and urged us to buy some before he made it big time.

"Liyah! Drake! Yo, what are y'all doing here?"

"What's up, we're just here to check out some new artists and maybe buy some pieces for the crib. Let the 'Mrs.' blow a bag." Aubrey laughed.

"Cool, y'all check the place out I called in a lot of new talent for this event so I hope you like everything." Hebru said as he pulled out his phone and started texting.

"Aight, thanks we're gonna go look around. We'll see you later!" Aubrey said as he dapped him up again.

We made our way through the show and saw so many amazing new artists. I already bought two paintings and a sculpture, and I think I am going to commission an artist to do a family portrait for us to put in the house. It's really important for me that Imani feels comfortable and feels like he is a part of everything concerning this move. 

"Oh babe, let's go upstairs there's more up there!" I said as I excitedly grabbed Aub's hand and made our way to the rooftop.

As we made our way up, there was a pregnant woman coming down the stairs she looked damn near ready to pop. As she got closer, I realized I knew her.

"Ryan?!?"

She stopped dead in her tracks.

"Ryan, this is where you've been this whole time?" Aubrey asked.

She just started crying.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. We've been looking for Ryan since the day she disappeared and somehow, here she is just in Miami at art basel. When Imani finds out, he's not going to believe it. I don't know how he's going to react. 

"Please don't tell Imani. He can't know where I am." She said.

"Is this his baby?" I asked looking down at her pregnant belly. 

People were walking by and it probably wasn't the best place to be having this conversation.

"Can we not do this here please?" She asked as she wiped the tears from her face.

"Yeah, come on back to our villa. Don't worry Imani is back in LA."

We left, and drove back over to the villa. We made our way out to the back yard by the outdoor kitchen. This is the one place I am certain no paps can see us.
