"Great job everyone. I'll be holding another master class tomorrow morning at 10 for those of you who want to tighten up those moves for the Chris Brown video auditions.", Laila said as we ended the class.

Besides my own training and attending my usual dance classes, I've been going to Laila's early morning classes and even the ones that she gives after I get off of work. To be honest these past few days have been hell but I wouldn't have done it any other way.

Caleb was right, I do wait to do things but considering the fact that this is something that I've worked almost my whole life for. I was determined to do whatever it takes, whether it be getting up earlier and going to sleep late or walk eight blocks everyday. I was going to get a spot in that video.

"So how have you been. Seems like you've had tunnel vision since I told you about the auditions.", Branden said as he grabbed his towel drying himself of the sweat he had dripping down his body.

"I've been good, tired but good. I've decided since the auditions aren't until 3 to just call out so that I can get the sleep that I've lost these past few days back and to prepare more.", I said as I put my hoodie back into my dance bag since the rain from earlier had stopped.

"That's good. You know I thought about it and I'm trying out to. The flyer said that he was looking for a new male back up dancer as well.", he said.

"Oh my gosh, that is great, at least I'll know at least one person there.", I said as I grabbed my bag and we headed out he door.

"So you want me to walk you to your apartment or you wanna be Ms. Independent today.", he said jokingly.

" Oh we have jokes Caleb.", I said calling him his "boyfriends" name.

"Stop it you damn well I don't want the man. I gotta girl. But seriously do you want me to walk you it's kind of dark.", he said sounding concerned.

"No I'm fine, it's just down the street. If anything I want you to be safe considering you have to catch the subway and a bus.", I said. He shook his head in understanding and gave me a hug goodbye. I watched him until he turned the corner like always and then went on my way.

Dancing along to Distance by Omarion I made my way up my apartment buildings stairs. Jerry the old drunk who is usually in front of my building decided to kill my mood and fuck with me today.

"Hey baby where you coming from?", he said as he looked at me with hooded eyes.

"Dance as always Jerry.", I said shaking my head while putting my key in the lock.

"Don't sass me little girl.", he said as if he were talking to a child.

"I'm a grown ass woman.", I said as I proceeded through the door only to be pulled back by my dance bag.

Looking at Jerry like he had lost his fucking mind, I snatched my bag from him.

"Nigga if you ever touch my stuff again with your dirty ass hands. I will fuck you up, now get your ass away from my door before I call the cops.", I said reinserting my key into the keyhole.

"Fuck you bitch.", he said as I felt a warm substance touch the back of my neck.

I know damn well this nigga did not just spit on me. I placed my bag down gently before pulling out my mace spraying him in his face and kicking him, making him fall backwards down the stairs. I watched as he rolled around on the ground groaning in pain.

"I dare you to even fix your mouth to spit at me again. Next time I might not be so nice.", I said as I hovered over him and spit in his face. Gathering my things I made my way back into my apartment where I took the longest and hottest shower. Ain't not telling what the hell that man got and I wasn't trying to find out.

After my shower, I got dressed and decide to make spaghetti tonight. While I was cooking the ground beef I got a notification. Reading the screen I seen that it was an email from Chris's manager. Forgetting about the food I hurried up and opened it in anticipation to see what she could possibly be emailing me for.

Dear Ms.Hamby,
On behalf of Mr.Brown I would personally like to invite you to come to a meet and great tomorrow before the auditions start. The meet and great will start at 12pm and it will give a chance to showcase your moves before others. You are not obligated to come to the 1:00 auditions if you show up to the meet and great but it is greatly encouraged. Mr.Brown saw your video and was really intrigued by your moves so he wanted me to email you first. You can reach me at 443-573-4848 or email me back.
Sincerely,
Tiffany

"Oh shit. This is amazing. I can't wait, I have to tell somebody.", I said as I decided to call Branden. I knew that Caleb was sleeping and I wanted to make sure he had gotten home safe anyways.

"Hello.", he said sounding like he was sleep.

"Oh shit were you sleeping?", I asked as the smoke alarm started to go off. I totally forgot about the ground beef.

"No I was just laying down and girl what the hell are you burning.", he said as he chuckled.

"Nothing but guess what.", I said as I dumped the burned ground beef out and decide to cook shrimp and chicken to make Alfredo instead.

"What?", he asked.

"Chris personally invited me to come to an early meet and great tomorrow so that I can show case my moves and it said that he was intrigued by my video.", I said getting excited all over again.

"That's great are you going to go?", he asked causing me to stop and make sure I was hearing right.

"Of course I'm going. It's Chrís fucking Brown.", I said as I started to cook my food.

"Good, I'm proud of you. Keep grinding babygirl your almost there.", he said causing me to smile.

"Thanks Branden. Oh before I hang up, good luck tomorrow.", I said.

"Same to you even though you don't need it.", he said and with that we hung up.

I can't wait for tomorrow the fact that I'm going to be in the same room as him and getting to spend extra time showing him what I can do is so amazing and I can't thank god, Caleb or Branden enough for believing in me.
