Shod laid next to Tae as they took in the sun rays, he tapping his index finger in the outside of his red plastic cup, his nerves a bit raddled at what he found in (Tae's supposed to be friends) Jazmine's phone, Drake had managed throw another backyard pool party yet he was nowhere to be found. Instead he locked himself away in the studio again with 40.
"What is wrong with you? Since when are you ever this quiet!?" Tae asked as she opened her eyes and looked over at Shod, he kept his eyes on the enormous built in pool not exactly sure what he should say.
"Girl I am tired! I don't know how y'all party like this!" He said, masking his current state of nervousness. Women continued to parade themselves as if they were in an auction selling themselves to the richest man that would pay his attention and money to them, bikinis were slim to none mostly sting up their butts attached to pasties to cover their nipples. Nothing really left to the imagination. "How do you trust these women around Drake!?... Hell around here!?" He asked looking around at the commotion and more than half naked women. "I mean I'm gay, and I'd probably turn straight for a few of these women. Hell."
Tae stopped scrolling her Instagram for a filter she was going to use for her picture and looked around at the same naked commotion that Shod was currently shaking his head at. "Well, considering the fact that Aubrey isn't even out here, I've never seen him pay attention to another woman while in my presence. I don't doubt that some of these chicks have made their rounds fucking every crew member. But it never bothered me." Tae looked back down at her phone and continued her filter search.
"Maybe that's the problem Tae. You too comfortable with it, I mean these hoes don't care that Drake is in a committed relationship! Hell! All they know is they got their ass and titties out in Drake's backyard and there is a possibility he could come out here and see them!" Shod said back as he leaned in closer to Tae, extending his arm out as if he was showing her a whole new world.
She frowned and looked up at the women again, chewing on the inside of her cheek. "I mean you know if I have a problem with something I'ma say so!" Shod shook his head in agreement, knowing that Tae had never been the type to be quiet. "But Aubrey doesn't pay attention to them, if he did then I would say something, but until I actually see that there's a problem I'm not gonna shut some shit down cuz I THINK she's after my man." Tae pointed over to a woman being obnoxiously loud for attention as she bounced up and down in the pool in front of her friends laughing and giggling. "I'm 98 percent positive that Drake's backyard ain't the only rappers backyard that bitch been in this week. I bet you if I asked The Game what that girls name is he could probably tell me her first, middle, and last name, and what size bra she wears! The majority of these woman are looking for a come up, a nigga they can get pregnant by so they can say my baby is so and so's daddy and be set for life, these types of women show themselves off like this all the time, this is a business for them! And trust me Aubrey's parents ain't raise no fool." Tae looked over at Shod who was scrunching up his face looking out at all the women.
Tae had a point, some of these women were playing a game, trying to find a rich man they could eventually suck dry, some of these women only had their bodies to offer and some of these women weren't like that at all, some of them were here just having a good time enjoying the party not even thinking about finding a man, sure dating Drake would be cool a minute, but Drake wasn't every woman's "type" and some women knew that he wasn't their type.
He eventually made his way down to the party, greeting his best friends as they too were scattered throughout the yard. Women approached him their breast out barley covered by a bikini top trying to get his attention, but his eyes remained on their face as he listened to them talk about who knows what, probably trying to get him to remember where he knew them from. Tae and Shod watched his facial expressions as he frowned and dipped his head lower to the woman's mouth trying to hear what she was saying over the music, he listened for a brief moment then smiled a bit nodding his head in agreement he held up his index finger to the women, she cocked her head back a bit in confusion he leaned over to his friend Chubbs who was leaning against one of the many out door bars.
"Where's Tae?" Chubbs looked up and nodded his head back in the direction of her and Shod. Drake looked over trying to spot their exact location he smiled once his eyes met her. He places his hand on the anonymous woman then extended his other hand out he mouthed something to her then began to walk away, the woman frowned and cocked her head back as she turned and watched him walk off, he slid his hands in the pockets of his sweats and made his way over, Shod watched the woman's facial expressions as Drake leaned down and kissed Tae on the forehead then the lips. The woman folded her arms across her chest looking more annoyed than she did before.
"That must be one of them types of women!" Shod said leaning in to Tae and smiling. Tae looked past Drake at her after pulling her lips from his.
"Definitely one of them." She said in agreement.
Drake frowned at both of them, then looked back. "One of what?" He asked looking confused, the woman had already moved on to a different crew member smiling and laughing in his face, her boobs doing more speaking than she was was.
"Nothing, I miss you!" Tae said with a smile. Drake was quiet as he scanned over her body that had already turned a shade darker, he licked his lips then smiled. Tae sat up, then stood up. Drake wrapped his arms around her waist helping her so she wouldn't trip over the pool chair, he pulled her closer to him looking down at her and smiling.
He had seemed to prove Tae right in her conversation with Shod, he wasn't paying attention to other women while in the presence of Tae, but what about when Tae wasn't around. Shod chewed the inside of his cheek as he sat down at the table. Drake and Tae stood standing wrapped up in one another as he took a break from the studio. Shod wasn't sure how he wasn't going to go about explaining the extra information her required from Jazmine's phone, but he knew he had to speak to Drake some how before Tae got ahold of Jazmine and Melissa.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was nothing that Tae needed more than to be at home around family and true friends, after Shod confirmed that news about Jazmine, she honestly didn't know how to feel. Both of them sitting in the backseat of a black Tahoe, Drake scrolled his phone as Tae looked out the window at the familiar building she had often seen growing up. He could tell something was bother her, she wasn't her normal talkative self, nor was she being very affectionate.
He stopped scrolling and slowly slid his iPhone in his pocket, he unbuckled her seatbelt and placed his arm around Tae's shoulder, he pulled her closer to him, grabbing her leg closest to him and pulling it up on his lap, he rested his hand in between her thighs, as her head went on his chest. "What's going on?"
He was simple and straight to the point, no need to beat around the bush. Tae sighed and paused for a moment. "I'm just realizing that people aren't who they say they are to me." She said repeating the same words that he once told her back in November. Drake pressed his lips together knowing all to well what she was going through, he may not have known the details, but he understood how she was feeling.
To avoid Tae from having a bad flight or Christmas while visiting her parents he opted to not ask exactly what happened, he'd save that for when they returned back home. They pulled up to the LAX Airport, a private jet waiting for Tae. She had forced Shod to fly back to New York with her instead of Jazmine, she truly had nothing to say to her, well not yet, she had a mouth full for her, Tae just had to get it all together, so she wouldn't swing on Jazmine the minute she saw her.
"So how is this shit going to play out?" Shod asked as he stretched out in the reclining jet seats and black blanket covering his body.
"Both Melissa and Jazmine are invited to Miami for New Years, so I'll enjoy the New Year, then the next day we all meet up for a lovely private lunch..." Tae stopped talking she turned her head looking at Shod with a smile. He opened one eye at her waiting for her to continue her thought, once he saw her face he knew she was done speaking.
Shod sighed. "Now, Tae we need to change that from private to public, cuz I just can't be the only witness to somebody's murder. You half Island gal and half ninja, and I can't be around when shit get to swinging." Tae frowned at Shod and rolled her eyes. "I'm not playing with you, this ain't about to be no episode of Love and HipHop." Shod said pulling his eye mask over his face and leaning all the way back.
"You so pre-Madonna." Tae said rolling her eyes at him and leaning back in her chair.
