II. Industry

Chapter 4

Tinashe's POV

I smiled at Quan while giving him a light wave as he smiled back at me.

"Hey," He said while reaching for August and I handed him to him.

"How you been," I asked while we began to walk the streets.

"I been ok. I guess," He said while playing with August.

"That's good," I nodded.

"Why you leave? And not let me see my child? I mean, I'm always here for yall," He asked while moving August to his other side.

"Um, my career just started and I don't want anyone to know I have a kid yet," I sighed.

"What do that have to do with me seeing my kid? If anything, you would want me to keep him while you do this," He stated.

"You're right. I'm sorry. That was stupid," I placed my hands into my back pockets.

"It's okay for now," He chuckled.

"Yeah, but how'd you know I was here," I asked while looking up at him.

"Actually, I'm here visiting Tamara and Rashad. They just happened to tell me that y'all are in the same hotel," He said then shrugged.

I rolled my eyes. People can never say one of their names without the other.

"Oh. I guess they know about us," I said while taking my hands out of my pockets and placing them in my hair.

"Yeah. You probably need to stay away from Rashad," He said in a serious tone.

"Excuse me," I said taken back.

"He told me all about you. Tamara will kick your ass if you tried something else with Rashad especially since your the girl I cheated on her with. That wouldn't look good for you to mess with both of her boyfriends," He stated with a small smirk.

"I don't want Rashad and Tamara won't touch me," I scoffed.

"No. Tamara will," He laughed.

"Please. She not crazy. I know she not," I said while rolling my eyes.

"I see y'all haven't hung out 'cause that girl is beyond crazy," He said while throwing August into the air then catching him as his giggles filled the outside air.

"Nope. She doesn't like me, but she never gave me a chance," I sighed.

"Oh. Tamara surely wouldn't give your ass a chance after the stuff you been pulling with her man. She don't play about fam," He said with a chuckle.

"Yeah. I knew I was wrong, but Rashad has a charm that no girl can say no to. Imma try to since they're engaged and everything,"

"And she's pregnant, so really keep your distance,"

What? For some strange reason, my blood began to boil hearing those words come from his mouth.

"Imma go back to my hotel. See ya later, Q," I said before kissing August on the lips then pecking Quan's cheek.

I walked into my room then began to write a song titled "Just A Taste".

Tamara's POV

I sat on the tour bus as everyone boarded all of our bags into the thing under the bus. I plugged my earphones into my phone then began to play my Pandora on Rashad's station. Suddenly, a song began to play called Rain Down. I've never heard it before, so I plugged both of my earphones in. I was walking around the bus when I heard Rashad singing a verse. I giggled. He sounded so cute. I grabbed my pillow, but I slipped out of my grasp. I sighed then bent down to pick it up when I felt a pair of hands on my ass. I quickly stood up straight then turned around to face Rashad. I smiled then pulled one of my earplugs out of my ear.
