The California show was last night and it was amazing. Karina ended up going to the show and standing with Royalty, Nia, and Joyce. Karina was nervous at first since she had never spoken to or met Nia but it was fine. They didn't talk much but Nia was sweet since Royalty loved Karina.

Tonight was the last show and it was in Las Vegas. Chris was excited but also ready for it to end.

"Y'all ready? Last show tonight!" Chris said with a big smile as he talked to his dancers. They nodded and said yes. "Ight let's pray." They prayed and then the show began.

After the show was over, him and his team went to a club to celebrate.

"Aye! What happened to my blunt?" Chris asked one of his dancers.

"Nigga check yo pocket. Oh wait you put them in Taylor purse." Chris tapped Taylor and told her to give him the blunts. She reached in her bag and pulled out two blunts.

They danced and drank for hours, turning up to the music. The DJ even played his music. As Chris looked around the club he saw Jazmine at the bar getting a drink.

"What the fuck she doing in Vegas?" He said to himself. He watched her for a while and then saw Quady come up behind her and kiss her neck. Chris scrunched up his face. "What the fuck?" He said to himself as he saw them hugging on each other. He shook his head and decided to mind his business. Quady was old news to Karina and Jazmine...Chris wanted nothing to do with her. He just continued to turn up and enjoy his night.

Karina was at home getting ready for the school week, cooking meals and cleaning up. It was late in the afternoon and she was almost finished. Just had to wash her clothes. There was a knock at the door.

"Heyyyy!" Karina said with a big smile.

"Hey girl! I got food and wine!" Jazmine said with a smile. Karina let her in and she went to the living room.

"I'm glad you brought food cause I only cooked enough for my meals this week." Karina said as she closed and locked the door.

"Of course. What movie we watching tonight? I really liked Beyond the Lights."

"Girl I love that movieee! You had anything in mind?"

"I heard Intrusion was good. It's on Netflix."

"Well let's watch it then." The two turned on Intrusion and watched the movie. They both were talkers so they talked and laughed throughout the movie, making funny commentary.

"That was so good! If I was her I don't think I would've known my husband was a weirdo either." Karina said as she sipped her drink.

"Me either."

"So what's new in your life? Last time we saw each other was before I left for Atlanta."

"Rinaaaa I'm talking to someone and I really like him." Jazmine said with a big smile.

"Where did y'all meet?"

"We met at a party I was invited to and he bought me a drink and we started talkingggg and one thing led to another now we're here." Karina smiled.

"Well let me see!!!" Karina said excitedly. Jazmine pulled out her phone and went to her photos. She turned the camera around to Karina and Karina busted out laughing from shock. Jazmine looked at her confused. "Oh my Gosh I didn't mean to laugh. I'm so sorry." She put her hand over her mouth. "It's just...that's my ex Quady."

Jazmine felt bad. She cut her phone off.

"No no no Jazmine. I didn't mean to make you feel bad." She stopped laughing and grabbed her hand.

"I-I didn't know."

"I know you didn't. How could you have known Quady was my ex? I've never spoken about him to you. But don't let him being my ex stop you." She said sincerely. But Jazmine felt like shit. She had pushed what she did with Chris down but it was back again. Not only did she sleep with Chris but now she was talking to her ex. This was eating her up. "You okay Jaz?"

"Yea. Just shocked is all."

"Girl ever since we crossed paths we been shocked." Karina laughed and Jazmine faintly smiled. "Cheer uppppp." Karina shakes her shoulders and Jazmine laughed.

"Okay okayyy. But what is he like?"

"Aht aht. I'm not telling you nothing about Quady. I don't want to mess up anything y'all got going on. All I can tell you is that he's very charismatic and charming and he's a good friend. That's all I can tell you." Karina was honest but she didn't want to say what he was like romantic wise because she didn't know what he was like now. Jazmine smiled and nodded her head. "But have y'all went on dates? I'm nosy and I want to know now." Karina laughed.

"We were in Vegas for two days with each other." Karina looked shocked.

"He paid for it?!"

"Yesss. He said he was already going with two of his friends and he invited me so I went and had a really good time. We got back to Cali at like 12. But other than that we've been on one date."

"Oh periodddd. Do your thing girl." Karina said with a smile.

The two enjoyed the rest of their night but Jazmine still had thoughts running through her mind. She knew she had to say something. She wasn't going to bury this any longer.
