Shelby's POVI sit in my dressing room as my hair stylist fixes my hair up and I get a fresh cut for the performance, Tiana gon come in later as well as Tyshon and Armani once things get poppin with Tay dancing with me
"How you feeling Shelby, this shit amazin for real" One of the guys from the YK gang says as she sips the champagne I had brought to the room
"Feeling great, first performance back and I'm helping out my family...but y'all be on your best behavior, don't get rowdy in here" I say confidently before thanking my personal barber and stylist
They nod and take my cover off, I stand up and dap up my barber and hug my stylist before walking over to the rack to get an outfit going
"Man it feels like just yesterday yo mom was teaching us how to play drum and piano, I remember yo ass wouldn't come out the house for days after that" Armani says as he takes a hit from the blunt they been passin around
I stop a bit as I feel the guilt wash over me yet again, mama ain't like ugly but this, this whole thing with the Lyon's can't go unpunished
"Aye you good" Tay says as she walks over to me and puts her hand on my shoulder with Damon coming over to me as well
"You got second thoughts don't you, because of mama" Damon asks worriedly, I sigh and shake my head and roll their hands off my shoulders
"I can't think like that...gotta act like a Lyon right now" I say causing them to snicker and laugh like something funny
"Bro chill you sound like yo damn Daddy" Armani says and I chuckle a bit but feel a pit in my stomach
"Y'all stop distracting me I need to pick an outfit, Jamal almost done his set and I gotta be out there with Tiana" I say in a laugh, they all start tryin to help but arguing over what clothes I should wear
I hear the door open causing me to look over and see Tiana walking in with some of her girls, the room goes silent as she look around before walking over to me
"You guys are loud as hell from the hallway and your father said it's nearly time" Seh says causing me to let out a small laugh, Tiana looks over to the rack and smiles beside walking over and grabbing the outfit under my hand causing hers to brush against it
"This one would look good on you, wear this one" Tiana says to me before handing me the leather button up and matching leather pants
"Thank you T" I say with a sly smile causing her to give the same
"Damn...who is this" One of the guys from YK says causing us to look over at him, he looks at all of us and chuckles nervously
"You...you look good Tiana...my sister love your music" He says nervously and we laugh as he sinks in his seat
"Thanks...I'll give you something for her after the show....good luck out here tonight Shelby" Tiana says before kissing my cheek, I see her face pointed towards Tay who's smirking at both of us
Tiana gives me one more look before walking out with a little bit of a sway in her hips, I smile at her as I get dressed with me finishing the fit with black and gold Jordan 1's
