Torn Between The Two | Drake & Chris Brown

Chapter 2

Drake

Looking down at my phone, it read 3:20. Shit! I was supposed to meet Danielle at 3:15. I had just arrived at the dance studio, so I got out of my car and sped walked to practice.

"Sorry I'm late but —" I started, but stopped once I realized Danielle and the rest of the dance crew had already warmed up and started learning the dance with Honey Cocaine.

"Stop interrupting my class Aubrey, come in and get ready." Honey said sternly. Business meant Business to her.

I put my hands up defense and quietly got warmed up. As soon as I was finished, Honey called me over.

"Alright so since Danielle is the main girl in the video, you're going to focus your attention on her the entire time." Honey said as she positioned Danielle and I. Danielle was against the wall, with her arms around my neck. I was inches away from her face, with my hand gently caressing her cheek.

"That'll be easy, considering how beautiful she is," I said, showing her my million dollar smile.

After going over about half the video, it was 4:45PM and we decided to call it a day and finish up tomorrow. Everyone went their separate ways, and I decided to go to the break room.

To my surprise, Danielle was sitting on the couch texting on her phone. I picked up a Gatorade from the refrigerator and sat next to her.

I realized that I had never formally introduced myself to her, so I decided that right now would be a good time. "Hey, I'm sorry that we had to go straight into practice before getting to know each other. I'm Aubrey." I extended my arm out for a shake.

Danielle hesitated before replying: "Dani." She shook my hand before looking right back at her phone. I looked at her puzzled...that was new. Usually girls would be extremely excited to speak to someone like Drake. But, she was more interested in her phone.

Maybe it was because I was late. I mean...it was rude to show up to the first practice late. "Um...I was um...wondering if maybe I could make up for it. If only I had come earlier—" I started to explain before Danielle cut me off.

"It's fine. I'm okay with it. You're the boss anyways." She said with a little sass.

"Well, let me at least take you out to dinner or something." I said, trying to still be a gentleman.

She got fed up. "I said I was fine. Just because you have money, doesn't mean you have to bribe people to like you."

My eyes widened. "I'm sorry for asking then," I got up from the couch and walked out of the room.

I wonder why Danielle was so rude to me after practice? I wasn't trying to bribe her to like me...I just wanted to get to know her. I thought that she was a beautiful girl, but maybe her personality isn't the same. I'm going to try again tomorrow though; maybe today just wasn't her day.

I got into my car and texted Wayne.

Wayne, where's the parties happening at tonight?

I'm gonna be at Tyga's crib. We all going to be drinking and smoking while the game on.

Aigh, I'll be over there too. I'll see you there.

I proceeded to go back home to shower and change clothes before I headed to Tyga's house.

~At Tyga's Crib~

"Wassup y'all?" I dabbed everyone up as I came into the door. Tyga, Big Sean, Wayne, and other people from the label were all sitting in the living room of Tyga's house.

"How is your music video coming along?" Wayne asked before passing me the blunt.

I pulled from it and exhaled. "We had practice today, but the girl I chose for the video isn't as nice as I thought she would be."

Tyga overheard our conversation. "What do you mean? What did she say?"

I explained Danielle's and my conversation to Wayne and Tyga.

Wayne chuckled. "Look at what you got yourself into. That's what you get for trying to smash the girl you're supposed to be making a video with."

I laughed. Danielle was beautiful, but I was just trying to get to know her. "I'm not trying to smash her. She can get it, but I ain't that reckless."

Tyga chimed in. "Give her another try then."

" I will," I said as I poured myself a cup of Ciroc.

The game was starting, so everyone got quiet. Cleveland was playing against Golden State.

Wayne and I was betting on Cleveland.

Sean and Tyga said Golden State.

~After the game~

"I told your ass that Curry was gonna run circles around Lebron." Tyga said excitedly.

"Lebron was having a bad day; any other time he would've kicked Curry's ass."

Wayne dapped me up, agreeing with me.

Sean got up from the couch we had been sitting on the entire game. "Well, I'm out. See y'all tomorrow." He dabbed us up before leaving Tyga's crib.

I looked at my watch. 2:34 AM. I stood up. "I'm out too. I gotta work on this video again tomorrow. I'll see y'all later." I dabbed the rest of them and made my way to my car.
