This nigga Carter was the most difficult person in the world to deal with, all I asked was that he wore the white shirt provided for him and he wanted to make something that should've taken thirty seconds, if that into a three-hour long debate. We were supposed to be leaving here in five minutes and Carter still refused to put on the shirt until we told him where we were going, finally, I just said fuck it and called Xion who easily managed to convince Carter to put on the damn shirt. I swear my bro was so damn stressful and the last thing I needed today was stress, I got woken up by Ronnie and Jace because my song 'Relapse' was on the radio and though the reception was excellent it made me nervous having to perform it tonight. Fuck, what if I forgot the words, or what if I pulled a Rihanna and sound horrible live..... fuck I felt myself getting sick, but I needed to suck it up and make it through the day for Carter. I checked my phone and found myself looking at the pictures of Victoria's baby boy Vontez and even though I hated his mom I had no ill will towards my nephew, another thing I noticed was Victoria's black eye but I couldn't save her if she didn't want to be saved...........

"I swear I hate y'all niggas......." Carter said smiling from ear to ear as we walking into the place we were throwing the gender reveal party, I gotta admit that the decorations turned better than I expected. "How long have y'all been planning this?" Carter asked looking around the room.

"A couple months now.... I swear it's been difficult to keep this shyt secret but I think it turned out pretty good." I said as Bianca walked over to us wearing a blue Team Boy sash and looked at Carter who was still smiling.

"Here..... I can't wait to see the look on our face when we find out it's a boy." Bianca said handing Carter a Team Girl sash. "Just a warning m aunt made some hot wings and they usually leave grown men crying..... I've even seen my dad shed a few tears after eating them so be careful around the food." Bianca said walking off.

"So when do we find out what the sex of the baby is going to be? That's what I'm ready for?" Carter said and shrugged. "Well I'm about to go socialize, thanks for this Valentino I really appreciate it." Carter said dapping me up and walking off. The rest of the day was pretty eventful, they played games and a bunch of other stuff before we finally got to the real reason why we were here, we all went outside with Carter and Bianca being blindfolded.

"Aight y'all each pick three people." Brian said Bianca picked three of her cousins while Carter stood there looking like he was trying to figure out who to pick. "Come on Carter it's not that difficult."

"Umm..... Valentino, Romeraux..... and umm........ Ronnie." Carter said and Jace started to go off but Tay quickly covered Jace's mouth. "Mah what's going on because I'm not with this blindfolding shyt." Carter said as Brian passed out water guns to Bianca's cousins while me, Romeraux, and Ronnie all got water balloons. I tried to cheat and see what color the paint was but I couldn't tell.

"Don't get any paint in my weave." Bianca said. "Paint?" Carter asked and I could he wasn't expecting that but it was too let we got the signal to go and seconds later Carter and Bianca were both covered in pink paint. Carter's reaction was priceless, I couldn't describe the look on his face he was just so happy which made me happy or my bro.

"I'm staying here with Bianca tonight so I'm going to have to miss your show..... you know I would be there for you if I could but we got a lot of stuff to go through and I can't get out of it." Carter said as we were packing up the car.

"It's coo bro, I understand.... all that matter is you have your ass there when I perform in Miami. But I gotta head home and change and drop Jasmine off..... she's not feeling too good so I wanna make sure everything is right with her." I said and Carter nodded, before pulling me into a brotherly hug and getting paint all over my shirt. "Aight bro I gotta get going." I said walking off.

With each passing second I became more nervous and that feeling only amplified when Vince showed up, Vince was my biggest supporter and biggest critic so if I was nothing short of perfect he was going to tell me about it, Jasmine was feeling better so she decided to come out with us. When we got to the club I was really starting to feel the nerve; once they brought to the back I heard someone yelling and of course Minkah's ass was running his mouth.

"You're getting fat..... I'm telling you, Valentino, how do you expect to make women melt if you're sitting there looking like the Michelin Man." Minkah said poking my abs. "Are you following the diet plan I set out for you? Don't answer that because I know you're not."

"Minkah.... no one follows those stupid ass plans and stop being a hater, Tino looks fine.... what I'm concerned about is how you sound live. It would be embarrassing as fuck if you got out there and started sounding like Trey Songz or Bryson Tiller, I'm telling you now Tino I have no probably clowning you if you get out here sounded like a billy goat." Echo said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm just ready for this night to be over with so I can get back to the hotel; me, Minkah, and Cordell have to finish our conversation from earlier." Raquan said looking at Minkah who was trying his hardest not to smile, yeah if it was clear before that them niggas were all fuckin then it was definitely clear now. "And Echo has a point, I woul hate for you to get up there and be one of them dudes who can't sing live."

"I got a feeling he'll do aight......" Arion said. "Where's your girl?" He asked and I knew this where this conversation was going so I decided not to engage.

"Tino.... your up." Cordell said walking into the room and I nodded, well here goes nothing...... I wish I could remember the performance but whenever I started to perform I became a different person and I just went with it, but the show must've been good because there were panties on the stage and women we going nuts. As I walked off the stage Vince, Dejon and Jasmine were waiting and honestly, those were the only people who mattered at that point.

"Baby you were amazing." Jasmine said kissing me and that was good to hear. "Yeah bro you killed it out there." Dejon said and I nodded before turning to Vince who was stoned faced, above all his opinion mattered more than anyone else.

"So Vince how'd I do?" I asked my big brother, for me this the moment of truth.

"I'm proud of you.... more than anything I wanna thank you Tino. You see them, girls, over there." He said pointing to two bad ass girls over by the bar area. "Well I may have let slip that I was your brother and I they wanna learn more about you so we're going to head back to my hotel so we can discuss so things for them to put in their little blog." Vince said smiling. "I'll be by to get you tomorrow." Vince said dappin me up and walking back over to the girls.

"Ayy how much longer are we stay? I'm supposed to be meeting up with De'Marcus, Black and them a little bit later and I'm not trying to be late." Dejon said and I told him we could leave after Cream performed.

"You wanna go meet them before they perform?" I asked Jasmine who nodded. I took her 'backstage' and into their little dressing room, Jasmine took a few pictures with them before going back out front.

"She sexy bro..... but again I gotta stress to you how much pussy is going to be thrown at you now. I saw your performance and you got it...... I haven't seen girls go that crazy over a dude in a long time, I just wanna make sure you understand how hard it's going to me to remain faithful once we hit the road." Arion said and I shrugged.

"I really don't think it's going to be that difficult..... when you love somebody like I love Jasmine it should be the easiest thing in the world to remain faithful to them because no girl is worth losing the one thing I worked so hard to get. But I'll catch y'all after the show." I said walking off because I couldn't help but feel he had ulterior motives for trying to get me to break up with Jasmine and I really hoped he didn't think that I was going to join whatever freaky shyt him and the rest of his group got into because that wasn't my lifestyle. As I was walking to the front, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and I looked down at the number wondering who it was.

"I gotta say Tino that was a sexy performance..... I know I said I was saving you for last but after that show, I might have to change my plans." Montez said laughing and I looked around nervously. "Oh just so you know.... those girls Vince left with well..... you'll find out soon enough." Montez said hanging up as I began frantically trying to call my brother.................
