The sun was slowly drifting from the California sky. 2015 was coming to a close and that was all the more reason to celebrate a great year. Women of all shades, shapes, and sizes in bikinis seemed to pop out of thin air, parading around the backyard as if they were in a beauty pageant, some grouped together chatting a mile a minute, some aloof, and others take a slow-motion strut by the pool trying to get the attention of men, as if they were in a classic rap video from the early 2000s.

The waterfalls lit up with vivid lights underneath them. Slides and cliffs that dropped 30ft into crystal clear water, large flat-screen TVs played a variety of channels, as drinks flowed freely. People filled the basketball, and tennis courts. Inside the house, the game room had been overrun by friends while other rooms remained locked away from the festivities.

Tae stood behind the bar making drinks for everyone. OB standing next to her drinking whatever she handed him. Ryan on the other side.

"Since when you become a bartender!?" OB asked with a legit concern of wanting to know.

"I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just mixing shit together." Tae said as she poured a little bit of this and that into a glass filled with ice, then randomly put a cherry on top of it.

She handed the drink to a random girl, OB broke out in laughter not expecting her answer. Drake stood in the middle of Chubbs, Oliver, and Spoons but splitting his attention between Tae and the conversation he was having with his friends. From across the yard, he watched her hand OB another drink of only God knows what.

"Tae and OB at it again." Chubbs said looking in the direction of the two of them.

Drake shook his head. "He gone be fucked up."

Drake continued admiring Tae from afar. Her black fitted hat turned backward on her head, black bikini top barely being covered by the black cut off Kings shit, her ripped dark skinny jeans hugging every curve, and her black and gold OVO J's on her feet. Shod and Jazmine stood next to her once she made her way from behind the bar a drink in her hand.

Drake saw that the party was under control, he'd mingled enough, enjoyed some downtime, spoke to people he hadn't seen in weeks, but there was still work to be done. Underneath the banter, joviality, and his contagious thousand-watt smile you could still quickly senses a moodier seriousness, a grown-up intention, not in a mean way just needing to get work done, and that work was another album.

"Iigh, I got a session to finish." Drake parted from his friends and made his way to the studio where 40 was already hard at work.

"Love your jeans."  Tae looked down and smiled at the women who gave her the compliment.

"Thank you." She said giving the woman a warm smile.

"Who were you invited by?" The mystery woman asked.

Tae cocked her head to the side, her smile leaving her face, she then looked at Shod and Jazmine, who were both oddly looking at the woman.

"I live here." Tae eyed the woman. "What's your name?"

"Destiny, and yours?" The woman seemed completely clueless to who Tae was, or she at least was a great actress, casually smiling, giving the dumb blonde act even though her hair color was clearly black.

"Who were you invited by?" Tae asked completely ignoring Destiny's question.

Destiny paused and smiled at Tae. "Aubrey!" She responded enthusiastically.

"Oooo." Shod quietly said as he stood behind Tae, then put the straw in his mouth to take a sip from his drink. Tae turned around facing her friends an eerie smile crossed her face. "Did she use his first name?" She asked quietly to Shod and Jazmine. Both of them shaking their heads up and down.

"And how do you know DRAKE?" Tae said turning back around.

"Old friends, I'm in LA doing some modeling work right now, and whenever I'm in LA we link up, hangout." Tae's eyes widened a forced smile on her face. The women's accent became clear to Tae that she was originally from Toronto. "I'm sorry, you never told me who you're with, are you dating someone from the crew? Is that how you live here?"

"A crew member!?" Tae said to herself as she turned around to Shod and Jazmine. "Hold this." Tae shoved her drink into Jazmin's empty hand. She then turned back around to Destiny.

"Oop you know what Destiny, honey, it was very nice meeting you, but we're going to go over there." Jazmine pointed in a random direction. "Where it's less of.... You." Jazmine and Shod began pulling on Tae's arms.

"Oh no, we're going to stay right here, and Miss. Destiny is going to stay right here too, cuz I feel I need to step outside of my kindness to let her know she got me fucked up!"

People began crowding around looking in the direction of the quickly arising situation. Chubbs and Spoons looked up. "Shit" Chubbs said to himself. "Go get Aubrey!" Spoons quickly paced to the studio.

"TAE! TAE! Come on!" Chubbs wrapped his arms around Tae's waist pulling her away from Destiny. "Des, what the fuck you doing here? Who'd you come with!?"

"I was invited, by Drake, Chubbs!" Destiny's innocent role went out the window once she began to talk to Chubbs.

"You full of shit Destiny, you and him haven't been together in over a year!" Chubbs yelled while holding onto Tae.

"A YEAR!!? OH! BITCH YOU KNEW WHO THE FUCK I WAS THIS WHOLE TIME!" Tae began pushing on Chubbs, but was grabbed by a second person, Drake stepped in front of her and began pushing her. Tae's strength was no match for Chubbs and Drake.

"I SHOULD BEAT YO ASS JUST BECAUSE!"

Drake covered Tae's mouth trying to quiet her down, he pushed her further back, Chubbs arms securely wrapped around Tae's waist. "What the fuck are you doing here!?" Drake said turning away from Tae.

"BEING FAKE! THAT'S WHAT THE FUCK SHE DOING HERE! DON'T THINK I CAN'T FIND OUT WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE! YOU SAY YOU A MODEL! BITCH I GOT THAT CONNECTION!" Tae's anger was at an all-time high, there was no calming her down along with the alcohol mixed in her system she was past level ten.

"Chubbs get her in the house!" Drake demanded, Chubbs began pulling Tae back, into the house.

"Destiny you need to leave, now!" Drake hissed through his teeth.

"Like I said before, it won't last, everywhere she turns its going to be bitches like me, from your past to fuck with her!" Destiny smiled as she spoke to Drake.

"Spoons!" Drake called out for his security to remove Destiny from the property.

Drake made his way back into the kitchen, still hearing Tae's voice as she continued to yell.

"NO! I'm sick of this shit Chubbs! I been being to nice to these hoes." Chubbs pinned Tae between the kitchen counter and his body, his arms on either side of her. "Bitches wanna come in here and act like they don't know WHO THE FUCK I AM!"

Drake walked further in the kitchen running his hand over his head, he turned to make sure his security was clearly the property, people grabbed their things as they made their way out, people shaking their heads in agreement and disagreement to what happened with the situation.

"BITCH SAT THEIR AND KIKI'ED IN MY FACE, THEN LIED ON MY MAN!" Drake listened hearing everything she said, keeping a straight and calm face he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up the stairs, his hand on her lower back as she obnoxiously stomped on every step along the way up.
