After almost a whole day of Zay not responding to me, I started to worry more than I usually do about anything. Anything could have happened; What if he got mad and took a drive and got hurt? What if the people that want him gone got him?
What if he got arrested?
All of these thoughts, consuming my brain whole.
"T up, we on our way to yo boo's show! What's wrong Tinka?" Ti was concerned, Tinka is a nickname she gave me when we were six and she never stopped calling me it.
"Nothing's wrong, have you spoken to Zay?"
"Ohhhh, that's what this is about. You're worried that he hasn't contacted you."
"I mean, anything could have happened to him, you know..." I mumbled.
"Baby, I told you I called him and he was angry, he's alive because he answered. Ain't nothing happened to the boy, he's just upset."
I knew deep down that she was right but what could have happened after their phone call?? Surely he's not ignoring me on purpose, right?
"At my first show, I might have your bitch front row" Tyler's music was now blasting in the car, I know it's Ti trying to cheer me up but it's not really working.
Soon enough we arrive at the venue, there's a long line that's wrapped around the corner. I peered out the window and wanted to go home.
"DAMNNNNN THAT'S THE LINE FOR LUH TYLER?" Ti exclaimed dramatically.
"Pfft. I guess so."
"Cheer up Ny, you know Zay absolutely adores you and as soon as he snaps out of his lil episode, everything will go back to normal."
"You know what? You're right." I sighed with relief. Tiana is right, he can't resist me and I know for damn sure he loves me a lot.
"I know. Let me open your door for you, stay right here."
Ti picked up her phone and took the key out the car. She walked around and opened my door, I stepped out the car feeling an assortment of things. We started walking towards the long ass line, I'm still thinking about Zay but not as much.
There was this medium sized brownskin with dreads and tattoos who walked up behind us right after we got on the line. He was on the phone.
"Nigga come outside, you got me standing out here like I'm a fangirl." He said in a real serious tone, almost in a sassy way. I wondered who the hell he was talking to that was already inside the venue. The person responded,
"Aight chill out, if I go out there, all them girls gon cause a scene. Just come to the door."
"Fuck the girls, my foot is broken and I'm not walking a block to no door."
"Ok bro, I'm coming but if they chase me, you're on your own." The familiar voiced started laughing, his laugh was so cute that I started giggling too. I hadn't even noticed the boot on his foot because I was distracted by his tattoos. Before the person on the phone could say anything else, he hung up.
"Nyraaaa, he was probably talking to Tyler." Ti whispered so the boy behind us wouldn't hear.
"I highly doubt that. Why would Tyler have his friends coming so late??"
"That shit don't matter to them, he's here now and he was talking to Tyler." Her eyes widen as if she wasn't just telling me to be with Zay.
"You watch too many romance movies.. What now? Tyler's going to come here, right now?"
"Gir-" She was interrupted by the screams of girls who had came on line after us. Ti and I slowly turn around to see Tyler standing there, embarrassed.
"Ain't no fucking way." I literally just said this would happen... AS A JOKE.
"I told you so."
"Shut up. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell you to shut up, I love you." I pouted at her just in case my apology wasn't enough.
"I love you too. Now go get your man because he's staring right over here."
"What?" He was indeed staring over here, I couldn't tell wether he was looking at me or Ti. I wouldn't even be mad if he was looking at Ti I mean she's fine as hell. But to my surprise, he was looking at me. At first I tried to pretend I didn't see him but that didn't last long because we made very intense eye contact that made me very uncomfortable. Next thing I know, he's walking over here with his friend. The girls are still shouting at him to acknowledge them but he still hasn't done so.
"Uhm, is he walking over here?" I asked Ti puzzled.
"Girl, I'm over here with you. I know as much as you do."
He for damn sure was walking over here, and as soon as he made it there was tension.
"Hey lil mama, are you Nyra?" Tyler's words slipped out his mouth so effortlessly and perfectly.
"How do you know my name?" I raised my eyebrow.
"I'm following you on instagram, I guess you can say I'm a fan." He chuckled.
I started laughing because it was funny AND it's Luh Tyler, "So you were able to recognize me from Instagram?"
"Yes, and I'm glad I did. You and your friend aren't dressed for cold weather, come with me and Sama so you can skip the line and be warm."
"Oh wow, okay." I stuttered a little bit which made me really unsure of myself. Ti was side eying him and I guess I can see why. It was a little suspicious but what harm would he want to do to us specifically?? So we start walking with him and "Sama".
