I don't know why I was dragged along on this double date, maybe to keep the peace between LaFayette and Justin but whatever the case I hoped my meal was free because the food here (while amazing) cost too damn much. I also demanded that I didn't have to actually sit at the table with them, I was close enough where I could intervene if necessary but I wasn't trying to sit through an awkward dinner. I didn't mind eating alone, it gave me time to think about everything that's happened over the last few days; what happened to Tyson, Seven's fury, Tion trying to play peacemaker, Tiana (no comment), and Zyn having to cut his trip early in order to deal with the person who was causing all the drama. At least it distracted me from my own drama, it was easier to deal with other people's shyt than the stuff that was going on in my own family. Tion suggested therapy but I argued against it, maybe it was because I didn't trust the therapist but I needed to talk to someone because I knew holding all the shyt in wasn't healthy. As I sat there trying to decide what I wanted, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I turned around to see Zyshaun standing over my shoulder, the look in his eyes told me what I was dreading, he wasn't going to make this easy and I was prepared to argue my case as to why I had no interest in getting involved unless I HAD to.
"I told you before we got here, that I would step in if I need to but I really don't want to be involved in any awkward situations... Look at T' I've known that nigga long enough to know that he's close to beating that dude's ass and I'm always going to have my bro's back... if he swing, I'm swinging though I'm certain if Tion swings dude won't be standing." I said confidently.
"Stylez...." Zyshaun said and there was this alluring tone to his voice. "I would really appreciate it if you joined me at my table.... please." Zyshaun said smiling and I don't know when it happened but I was sitting in the middle of Zyshaun, Justin, LaFayette, and Tion. "So Justin, I see you and Roseline are working with that kid Flash?" Zyshaun said.
"Yes, he's extremely talented... sexy lil chocolate boy and if he was a little bit older I would turn his ass out because I know the dick is big... Just being around him makes my boochie tingle." Justin said and there was something about him that made my skin crawl.
"And I'm guessing it was you, Roseline, and Lee Jayson who put him up to this feud with Valentino?" Zyshaun asked and Justin smirked.
"Well, it's working... I mean this 'beef' between the two of them is making everyone money. Interest in both artists is at an all-time high, I think we should continue to feed the beef, and consider it a business opportunity. La, you haven't said a word since y'all got here... don't tell me you're still upset." Justin said and I noticed LaFayette's jaw clench.
"Don't talk to him..." Tion said... Let me give y'all some history; I lived with Tion all throughout college so I knew his queues, he was about to jump across this table and I had no intention of stopping him and it seemed like Zyshaun didn't either so I was wondering why I was even here but it seemed like Zyshaun had something up his sleeve.
"So how do we resolve this issue as peacefully as possible? Justin, it's clear that you hold some kind of grudge against Tion and LaFayette, being the aggressor, how much will it take for you to disappear?" Zyshaun asked.
"I don't need money... I got that, what I want is information, and the kind of information I want shouldn't be discussed in public...." Justin said glancing in my direction. "If we could go somewhere private to discuss my terms, I think we can come to an agreement that would be beneficial for both of us...." Justin said rubbing Zyshaun's thigh.
"Fine, we can go to my office... Tion, La do y'all mind ordering dessert? This shouldn't take long.... Stylez, come with me...." Zyshaun said and for a second I was just as confused as Justin, but I figured there was a method behind the madness so I got up and followed them through the restaurant until we were in a nice office.
