"Girl he was on some Blair Underwood shit like in Set It Off." Crystal said after I told her what happened. "You got paid for that right?" Crystal asked.

"Girl no. I got all the pleasure anyway, it's not like we had sex or anything." I said not really giving her comments any thought.

"I charge two bands to give me head, but hey we're different. Maybe you found your soul mate." She said sarcastically only because she didn't believe in that.

"He the only one that actually got my panties off." I said shocked to say.

"Yeah. That's yo boyfriend now?" Crystal asked.

"Girl no. It would've came with a ring." I told her.

"You and this promise, engagement, and wedding ring mess. Girl, I get a new ring everytime I hit a lick." Crystal said referring to her customers.

"Crystal we're different." I told her.

"Yeah, you are. I'm bout to go home and lay up under somebody BabyDaddy I'll call you tomorrow." Crystal said yawning.

"Okay, drive safely." I said waving goodbye.

Tre P.O.V (Point Of View)

I sat on the studio thinking how could I be so lucky to not even be six months into the industry and already in contact with my dream girl. She looked so beautiful during the photo shoot and the way her eyes would light up as I compliment her. Melani gonna be mine and I ain stopping until she is.

My phone ring stopping me from reminiscing.

"Hello." I answered not noticing the number.

"Vaughn?" I heard a familiar voice say.

"Mom?" I said confused.

"I'm so sorry." She started to sob.

"Ma please tell me you didn't leave rehab." I sighed burying my face into my hands frustrated.

"I'm sorry." She apologized once more this time breaking down.

"Where are you?" I asked grabbing my jacket out the closet and my keys off the dresser. She then gave me the address."Alright stay there I'm coming to get you." I said hanging up pissed.

I pulled up to my brother Mike house first to come with me.

"What it is?" He said dapping me up.

"It's ma man." I said as I put the car in drive.

"Man she at it again?" He said now bury his face into his hands.

"My reaction exactly." I said driving to her destination.

My brother wasn't too much different from me. Ladies man, cool wit anybody he encountered basically, laid back funny dude. Only difference was, I was a bit more buff. He has a swag like Hakeem from the tv show Empire very flashy with the chains and watches. His temper is also where we differ. He's a hothead. Say one wrong thing and it's murder, death, kill on his end. I'm the calm and rational one who keeps him balanced. I knew how to control my beast.

We got to the crack house and walked into the door that was already open and seen our mom inside in a corner with dirty clothes on, hair wild and nappy, shaking in a 95 degree house.

"Ma." I said as it tore me to pieces to see her in this condition.

"Ay yo why it's a bruise on ya face." Mike said as I seen his anger rising

"Boys lets j-just go." She said shaking and stuttering.

"The hell you suckas doing in my house." A big husky black dude said coming out a room zipping his pants up and sweating.

"Yo you bruised my moms face?" Mike asked walking up on him.

"She owes me money. Either I get it or the bitch..."

Before the man could finish his sentence Mikes fist had connected to his jaw. He picked Mike up by the neck and slammed him on the floor then I hit him with an upper cut and he hit the floor falling to his knees then I kicked him to the floor laying him out. I helped my brother up who was stumbling a little. He kicked him in the head once more.

"ITS DONE MAN !" I yelled putting his arm around my neck and grabbing my mom pulling her close by me as I helped them both walk out the house.

I placed my mom in the front seat as my brother got in the back. I closed the door and walked over to my side.

"I don't know how the hell ima do this man." I whispered to myself before getting inside.
