Her Beef

Chapter 6: New York

I was feeling a lot better since I've been in New York away from everything that reminded me of losing my baby. Desaundra took me to talk to this therapist that has really been helping me out. I have been talking about all my hurt and pain and it feels like a burden has been lifted. I have to admit I have been missing Aubrey. He has called me a couple of times but I really didn't say much to him but that I needed to get myself together.

"Hey girl there is someone here to see you." Desaundra said peeking her head into my room. The door opened wider and in walked Aubrey. He looked so good and I was happy to see him. We just stared at each other and the tears began to fall from my eyes.

   I walked over to him and hugged him tightly. I was still in love with this man and I could feel that he was still in love with me. " Why didn't you tell me you needed time away? I would have understood Des." He said still holding me tight. I wanted to say so much to him but I didn't know where to start. I pulled away from his embrace and went an sat back on the bed. " We really need to talk. I want you to listen to me Aubrey because this is hard for me to say." I said pulling him down next to me. " I was angry with you because I felt like if you never would have still been involved with Dawn this would've never happened. I can't trust that you won't go back to her if we have another dispute. I love you but I can't marry you right now. I need to get myself back on the right track." I said taking the ring off my finger handing it to him. He just stood up and kissed me on the forehead and whispered in my ear I will always love you and walked out.

It hurt me to let him go but until I know he is completely done with Dawn I can not be with Aubrey.

Three Months Later

  I was at this video shoot for this new artist named August Alsina he was so fine. He was from New Orleans and he could song his ass off. We were shooting the remix video for I Luv This Shit ft Trey Songz and Chris Brown. Chris was one of my home boyz and I knew Trey cause him and Aubrey were good friends so it wasn't weird or uncomfortable being around them. " How you doing sexy!" Chris asked giving me a big hug. " I good can't complain. Wus good wit you and ole girl Rihanna?" I asked him trying to get the scoop like everyone else. He just laughed and gave me that you already know look. Now I know people still be talking all crazy about Rihanna dealing with Chris after the whole domestic violence situation, but that girl got a temper and when you see them together you can  see the love they share, so I never trip about them being together. People make mistakes and people do change. I was shooting my scenes with August and then it was my girl Megan's turn with Trey.

I was watching their bedroom scene and they had great chemistry together. My phone started vibrating so I looked at it and saw I had a message from Jhene.

Messages:
Jhene: how are you luv
Me: good at a video shoot
Jhene: good you're back working
Me: yes need to get back on my game
Jhene: he misses you so much
Me: I can't do this right now
Jhene: ok just give him a call
Me: for you maybe
Jhene: ok :)

I didn't reply back. I just left it alone. I haven't talked to or seen Aubrey in three months and I really didn't want to. I just told Jhene I might call so she would let it go. My scenes were a wrap for the day so I went to change in my tank top and yoga pants so I could head home. I had gotten an apartment in Desaundra's building since I had so many job offers here in New York. I really wasn't ready to go back to Miami yet.

I was walking to my car when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and I was standing face to face with August. He was a lot taller now that I didn't have on heels. " Hey I was wondering if you would like to come out to the club tonight. We are going to be showing the video and it would be great if my leading lady was there." He said flashing a million dollar smile. He was very attractive and I felt this tingling sensation between my legs. " Sure what club is it I might be able to come thru for a few." I said trying to keep my composure. " It's at club Obsession in Harlem be there at midnight." He said taking my phone and putting his number in and texting himself from my phone. I took my phone back and smiled I  got in my car. I pushed the start button and pulled out of the parking lot with Usher's song Good Kisser pumping thru my speakers. I was wondering if I should get Desaundra and Tammy( Waka Flocka's wife) to come out with me. I pulled up to my building and valet parked my car. I went up to my apartment and the door was unlocked. Who the hell would be in my apartment? When I reached the living room my brother Shadd was sitting on the couch watching TV. " When the hell did you get here and how did you get in?" I asked him giving him a big hug. " I was here seeing my son and Desaundra let me in." He said sitting back down on the couch. I forgot I had giving her a spare key.

" Well I'm going out tonight and you are more than welcome to come. I really missed you so much bruh." I said giving him a side hug. We haven't been spending a lot of time together. He is always on the move and so am I. " I would love to party wit my sister tonight. Turn down for what." He said.

I got up to go shower and take a nap before it was time to hit the club. Me and my brother were going to show out tonight. August just might get it too if he play his cards right.
