Brianna

"No, I do miss you Chris." I laughed putting the phone on speaker and sitting it on my desk. "No, I have two more consultations today and then I'm going to this event for Epic Records. They have a new artist that they are promoting and he's gonna perform his single that they wanna release. " "oh. Partying without me." "Its work guy." I said. "Well, I'd like to see you some time soon." "Of course Chris." I smiled, I really did miss him. My speaker went off. Brianna your appointment is here." "Okay send them in." I said, "Chris I'll call you later about flights." "Okay you better." He said.

I hung up the phone and put it in my desk. Throughout the day I saw both of my appointments, then I went home to shower and change getting ready for this party. There was big buzz around this new artist. I chopped it up with some producers and stuff, even ran into Michael. He was rapping now, and in his free time I hung out with Him and his girlfriend Chyna. "Hey Mikey." "Hey Bri Bri." He said hugging me. "Where's Chy?" "She had another event." "Oh okay." I said. "Picture?" I asked. I snapped some pictures of him, then some of the other guest.

"Thank you guys for coming out, this artist is going to do big things. I have 100% faith that every song will be a hit. Please welcome to.the stage Chris." We all clapped as the lights dropped down dramatically. A beat dropped and a figure popped up and did a flip. Nice he's a gymnast. Like we needed any other singers like that. The lights came back up and I heard a very familiar voice. As the show continued I noticed that it was Chris. I almost dropped my camera I was so excited.

Chris

This was gonna be an awesome surprise. I told Epic when they said they wanted to a launch party that I wanted Brianna's company to do the photography. I wanted Brianna personally to.do it. She had no idea that it was me today who she would be snapping pictures of. Once the show was almost over I finally got a chance to lock eyes with her. I winked at her and finished up. After the show I was speaking with my team when she walked. "Mrs. Brianna." I said pretending that I didn't know her. "Hi, thanks for inviting me. You have a really great voice, can I take some shots of you." "Sure." I smiling.

I posed for a few pictures, then we had drinks. I found Brianna off in the corner. "So um, when do we get to speak about this." She licked her lips slipping a key into my hand. "Finish up here, and I'm all yours she said leaning in to me. I was waiting for a kiss but she turned her cheek. Why she playing with me like that. "Where am I.supposed to go?" I asked. "Micheal knows." She said walking away. I bit my bottom lip and went to find Micheal. I needed to be outta here fast. I scanned the room for signs of Micheal and finally shouted him talking to.a few girls alone in the section that they had set up for me.

I found my way to the door that Micheal pointed me to. I was so gone. I struggled to put the key in the door but failed miserably. The door swung open and Brianna stood there looking passed. "Hey." My words slurred. She shook her head and walked away from the door. I stumbled into the room grabbing the wall for support. "This is nice, what's the occasion?" She shook her head at me throwing a blanket and a pillow at my chest. "Couch." She said simply. She walked upstairs and I made my way to the couch. I didn't even have a chance to focus on the room cause it was spinning so much.

Once it stopped spinning though I could see that there were candles that had been burned down to the nubs. It smelt good as fuck in here though. I got up and went in the kitchen. Damn I fucked up, she had the table set with food. Shit. I sat at the table palming my face. As drunk as I was I decided to clean the kitchen. I put all the leftovers up in the fridge, and washed the dishes. When I was finished I sat on the couch going through my contacts finding Bri's number.

Me: Bri Bri
Bri Baby: ??
Me: I'm sorry
Me: I know I fucked up. I got carried away
Bri Baby: I waited for you, 5 hours Chris, I did all this shit for you. Nigga I cooked. You got me cooking
Me:
Me: I'm sorry, please be my friend again
Bri Baby:
