Fire and Desire

Chapter 4

I stepped out the shower and met Aubrey on the bed. A dress lay on it in my favourite colour, navy.

I looked at it and looked at him, searching for answers with my eyes.

"What's this?"

"It's for you to wear tonight. There's a colour theme and I didn't think you'd have anything so I got you something new"

The dress was exquisitely cut, looking as though it was to end just at my knee. The back was cut intricately, showing enough to keep you wanting more.

He knew what I liked and I loved him for it. But he was buying his way back into my good books and he thought I wouldn't notice. I intended to keep him entertained.

"Thanks HUN." I said sharply. He turned to look at me but I'd already turned my back, towel wrapped tightly around me.

"You can leave now."

"Why in the hell would I leave? You're my girl so I'll stay here while you change."

I looked up. I didn't intend to play games tonight. He was to get the fuck out or I was.

"Leave the room Aubrey."

He looked at me and proceeded to storm out, slamming the door and shaking the bus upon doing so. He was King of not discussing things with me.

I'd just like to be told in advance if we going to the club or getting on a jet you know? Is that so much to ask for?

I proceeded to cream my skin and spray some fragrance - Gucci Guilty my favourite, before deliberating on how to do my hair. Aubrey favoured my hair curly, so tonight I'd play into it. I grabbed some mouse and worked it through to accentuate my curl pattern.

I blended out some gold eye shadow and put on a slick of nude lipgloss before stepping into this dress. I turned to face the mirror.

He did good. Very good.

I opened the bedroom door and stepped out into the small walkway of the bus. The noise in the main room came to a halt as all eyes fell on me.

"You niggas can pick up your damn jaws and stop gawking at my girl now, shit!"

Aubrey strode over to me and caught me in an embrace.

"Even if you're made Re you look damn good in this dress," he said while snuggling into my neck.

I was speechless, he looked fine, I looked fine, whole squad looked good.

"You see how good she looked??" OB whispered to Jas.
"Yes nigga duh!"

I laughed as we stepped off the bus and into the cars that proceeded to speed towards a club. As we pulled up it seemed they all knew we were coming before I did.

I slid out the car, Aubrey holding onto my hand as camera lights proceeded to go off. I smoothed out my dress and walked behind him into the club. The atmosphere was electric.

Bottles on bottles lined the place. I walked into to Controlla playing. The DJ had created a perfect blend of both versions and to be honest I was ready to get lit. We made our way to the DJ booth as Aubrey took the mic and introduced himself to the crowd.

"What hatnin Kansas City? I go by the name of Drizzy Drake and I'm from a place called Toronto.."

The crowd whooped and cheered at the mention of his name like they didn't know who he was. He said that shit every time, that shit was NOTHING new.

As Jumpman began to play I went to get myself a drink. Hennessy on ice sounded about good. As I approached the bar I ran my hand over my front making sure it was smooth.

The gears in my brain started turning and I paused. Maybe a fruit punch sounded even better. I took the drinks from the bartender as he eyed me up.

"That's $30 beautiful," his Spanish accent was thick and his dark hair was slicked back. His teeth were white and bright and his face was arranged perfectly.

"It's on Drakes tab" I smiled sweetly. He was gorgeous but I was faithful. Although my mind wasn't.

"Drake huh? I knew you looked familiar.. If the lifestyle ever gets too much for you, you know where I am."

I smiled to myself as I got off the stool and walked back to Aubrey, who was dancing along to his own music. I giggled to myself as I watched him doing the shit he loved.

If the lifestyle gets too much for you ..
