Today was the day of the BET Awards and Toni was very excited. She hadn't been in years so this would be the first she'd attend. Also, this would be the first she'd attend with a date. A couple of months ago, it had gotten out that her and Bryan were dating. He showed up to one of her shows in Brooklyn with flowers and someone sent the picture they took together to the tabloids. The world went through a frenzy that night so just imagine everyone's reaction to tonight.
Toni arrived to the red carpet wearing a black dress with a slit up to her thigh along with a blonde wig. She came alone because she didn't want to cause a scene, so after snapping a few pictures she immediately entered the building to find Bryan. Luckily he was already seated next to one of his artist, Jacquees.
"Hey,"I spoke.
"Hey,"he responded getting up to hug me, "I'm so glad you actually showed up."
"Why you say that?"
"I mean you're Toni Braxton, I figured you were too legendary and good for the BET awards,"he joked.
"Whatever Bryan, you tried it."
"Hey auntie,"Jacquees spoke.
"Hey nephew,"Toni played along, "How's it been?"
"Good good, everything's been working in my favor lately so."
"That's great I'm proud of you."
"What about you?"Bryan asked.
"Good, you?"
"Not so good."
"Why?"
"I've been missing you too much."
"Oh you have?"
"Yea, we got to make up for that time apart."
"And how will we do that?"
"I don't know maybe with a kiss later on,"he said looking her up and down.
"We'll see."
"Toni Birdman smile,"a photographer said before snapping a quick picture without our consent.
"I hope I at least looked cute,"Toni said annoyed.
"You look fine as hell girl don't trip."
The show was beginning to start and the room began to fill up with all different celebrities from different industries. Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson were hosting the awards this year, so they felt comfortable that the show was going to be good. Bryan was also presenting an award tonight so that's one of the main reasons why he showed up. Every now and then, the cameras would turn to their direction and the entire night people would stare one at a time. They both knew that since the speculation that they were dating came out, more attention would be added to their "relationship", however, it was very awkward for them since it was still all so very new.
"Hey, ummm we should be up next, you want to go with me to the dressing room or stay here?"Bryan asked, "Then we can Dip and go hang out for a bit."
"Uhh sure let's do that,"she agreed as he helped her up and led her out where they were met with photographers wanting to take a picture of them, "Everyone was looking all up in our faces in there."
"Fuck them,"he responded entering the dressing room.
"So who's presenting with you?"She asked closing the door.
"Just me, Dupri, Snoop, and Dame for the Mogul show I'm on."
"That's nice."
"Yea,"he said grabbing her waist, "What's all of this thigh shit you got going on?"
