Behind Closed Doors [13]

*Flashback to 1994*
-Eazy's POV-

A few months ago in late 1993, I discovered and signed a new rap group called Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. They're originally from Cleveland, OH and they auditioned for me over the phone. After I heard their talent, I had to meet them as soon as possible so they came all the way to L.A on a bus. I was in the studio with the crew and Bone Thugs discussing their first debut album and it will be titled Creepin On Ah Come Up.

"I want you guys to get a good night's sleep because I want to see you here in the studio first thing tomorrow morning. Matter of fact, I want you here at 7:00 a.m," I said.

"Damn E why so early? I'm not a morning person," Layzie mentioned.

"I'm not a morning person either Eazy. Besides, this is our first time in L.A and we want to enjoy the nightlife," said Bizzy.

Ren interrupted.

"Yeah E they're right. Let's have some fun tonight and then meet in the studio the day after."

"Y'all need to understand that the faster we work on this album and record these songs, the faster this album will be released. We need to get this money," I replied.

"Come on E, all you do is work man. Let's party tonight and I promise you, we'll be here in the studio the morning after at 7:00 a.m geared up and ready," Layzie said.

"Aight well what y'all niggas want to do?" I asked.

Yella smirked.

"You already know what I want to do," he said.

"We aint watching porn Yella!" I yelled.

"Chill E I wasn't talking about porn. I was talking about going to a strip club."

"Hell yeah I'm down!" Knoccout replied.

"So what do you say E? You want to see some ass?" Yella asked.

"Hell yeah man I'm down."

We arrived at Playpen Gentlemen's Club and the time is currently 9:47 p.m. I ain't been to a strip club in years and it feels good to be back in one. The bouncer hooked me and the crew up because he's a big fan of me and got us in free.

One stripper walked up to me and grabbed my hands.

"Hey Eazy baby how are you?" she asked.

"Nothing much," I said while looking at her. She saw me licking my lips at her too.

"So do you want a private dance?"

"Yeah you know I do," I replied.

While we headed towards a private room, I noticed that someone is paging me. I stopped walking and checked.

"Are you still in studio?"

It was from Aaliyah. I didn't respond though, just didn't feel like it.

"Who paged you?" she asked.

"Nobody important," I said.

-Ren's POV-

"Yo where the fuck is E?" I asked.

"I just saw him a few minutes ago," said Yella.

"Okay cause Aaliyah is paging the shit out of me. She said she tried to page E and she even called the studio, but she didn't get a response."

"What did you tell her?" he asked.

"I just made something up. I told her that E is taking a long nap. Shit that's the best I can do."

"Oh wow Lorenzo. Good one," he said sarcastically.
