Do Better

Aubrey

I woke up on the couch since I let Jhene sleep in my bed last night.

I walked out into the kitchen, finding OB making breakfast.

"Hey, man, you cool with Jhene staying here for a couple days, weeks maybe?" I scratched the back of my neck unsure if he'd mind.

"Hell no, man. I'm cool with it. I don't see why anyone else would have a problem with it. She pretty much lived with us for a few months." He said, flipping the egg over.

"Alright, thanks." I stood up to grab a drink as small footsteps coming from the hallway made me look in the direction they were coming from.

"Morning, guys." She yawned.

"Goodmorning, Miss. Aiko." OB made the cheesiest remark, earning a giggle from Jhene.

"When are we leaving?" OB asked. I'd forgotten all about the appearance in Miami I was supposed to make tonight.

"Shit, we probably oughta leave in an hour or so." I turned to look at Jhene who was fumbling with the bottom of her shirt. She felt unwelcome I could tell; I could read her like a book.

"You wanna come with us?" I asked her, making her head shoot up.

"No, I'll be fine."

"No one's gonna be here, come with us." I offered one last time, and she smiled small, letting me know she had agreed to go. Her petite figure walked back to my room, down the hall.

Six hours later, we all made it to Miami and decided to go out to dinner before heading to the club. Miami has always been a great memory.

The paparazzi hounded us with snapshots and questions from the time we got out of the limo until the time we reached the door.

40 had already made reservations earlier for a private section in the restaurant. It was upstairs and outside under a few umbrellas to block out the sun. I made sure Jhene sat beside me; mainly because she was most comfortable with me, but also because I liked her company.

We all ordered drinks and a few bottles of liquor to start off a round of shots.

Dinner went great. I talked to Chubbs and Niko most of the time while the other guys discussed buisness. We were all gonna head out to the club that Aubrey was making an appearance at, then stay at a hotel overnight before flying back. Traveling with all the guys was a blast, too.

We all got out of the limo outside of the club, unfortunately greeted by a swarm of paparazzi, again. I covered my face, following everyone into the club. Once we were inside, they all immediately went into a private section. It was dark and looked classy.

"First round!" Ryan shouted, opening a bottle of champagne, pouring it into several shot glasses. We all clinked glasses and sipped it down.

"Good luck, man." 40 dapped Aubrey up and he headed out of the section. I went out shortly after him to watch his performance, even though I already knew it'd be amazing.

The DJ acknowledged him and he hyped the crowd up before performing the remix to Sh!t with Future, who was also here.

I didn't see any of the crew around me, but I shook it off and danced to the song.

"Hey, you're Jhene Aiko, right?" A girl from beside me asked.

"Yes." I smiled sweetly.

A pair of hands grabbed my mouth and pulled me by my waist, jerking me backwards. Holy fuck, what is going on? I didn't have time to react as I was dragged away from the crowd and out the back door. I kicked and screamed, anything to get out of this person's hold.
