Modern Day Bonnie And Clyde

4.Can't resist

Cookie P.O.V

It's been a month and a half since I've been away. Life has been noticeably easier, no fighting, no lying, no screaming, and most importantly no lucious. I've been on cloud nine, but all good things must come to a end right? I got a call yesterday saying that I've got to come to a mandatory board meeting concerning Lucious and his new "Boom Boom Boom Boom" video. He we wrote the song while he was in jail, there's not doubt that its about something dark that happened to him in his childhood. I heard it for the fisrt time a few weeks ago and its really good. But I really don't want to see his ass right now but I have no choice. I'm gonna just try and sneak in and out of the meeting undetected so that he won't get a chance to try and talk to me.

As I creep through the halls of empire with my shades still on, I can see all the sideways glances Im receiving from different board members. Many of them lost a lot of respect for me after that big blowout me and lucious had when he kicked me out of the company. Personally that was one of the worst days of my life because I've never been that embarrassed in front of so many of my equals.

Entering the conference room I noticed everyone was there except for Lucious. I took any random seat instead the head of the table that me and lucious always take across from one another. Im so slouched in this chair right now that you can barley see my head peaking up from the conference room's table.

"Ladies and gentlemen thank you for attending this meeting on such short notice. My video for Snitch Bitch is almost at one billion views on YouTube, so that's great. But "boom boom boom boom" is based off my life and I want it to do way better than any of my other songs so with no further questions here is my video" he states turning his chair toward the monitor. He hasn't realized my presence so I think I'm good to sit up.

As I watch the video I kind of feel annoyed. I know the true meaning behind this song isn't just some drunken night Lucious had in the studio with Freeda. The video just doesn't fit at all, I mean sure that's how the song was recorded but it was based off the monster inside I can feel it. He needs to show that in this video instead of hiding behind some corny cover to mask his true feelings about the song.

"Hold up cut. Cut this damn video" I blurted damn near half way through the video.

"What?! What?! What's wrong with the video!" Lu yelled unaware who he was actually yelling at.

"Everything, and don't yell at me! Now you and I know damn well that the song you made doesn't fit that video. Sure it was how it was recorded but there's a bigger meaning behind the song. Until you actually open up and put that into your music you'll never have the success you want out of your career" I say not holding my thoughts in because no body in this room would've actually said this to him even though they know its true.

"Cookie monster, you've always know what was good for me. What do you think the video should be about?" Lu qestions using my old nickname that we used to use when we were just teens.

"Lu we both know that it should be about your mom. I mean you told me a whole bunch about her when we were younger and  I feel like you wrote this about her. Its time for you to tell the whole world about your past ya know?" I stated bluntly, its like we are the only two in the room as we talk back and forth ignoring any of the other board members.

"Yeah maybe a little but, I'm not ready to go there."

"And why not? I mean your not getting any younger old man so ya best of tell the damn story now" I replied rolling my eyes I miss bossing everybody around at empire.
