Life Outside of Empire

Trust

Jacob's POV

I've been a little down ever since Serayah dumped me. I tried to focus on my career. It's hard when her and I share so many mutual friends. What does she even see in Yazz? I'm clearly the better guy for her. He's gonna break her heart and who she's gonna run back too, Me. I don't need her but ugh why can't I stop thinking about her? I was in the studio working on a song.

"Earth to Jacob." My producer Lee replied.

"My bad bruh just zoning out." I replied.

"Girl problems?" Questioned Lee.

"You could say that." I responded.

"Well lay it all out on the track." Said Lee

I got in the booth. I was in my zone singing when I notice a couple dudes enter the studio.

My bro Luke James, Keith Powers and
hell naw this can't be who I think it is. What the fuck was Yazz doing in my studio session?

I got out the booth.

"What up bro" Luke replied shaking my hand.

"Why y'all ain't tell me that this was this nigga's studio session?" Replied Yazz.

"Am I missing something?" "Y'all boys got beef or something?" Question Keith

"Yeah I gave this nigga a beat down the other weekend." I replied.

"As I recall, you were on the ground getting yo ass beat nigga." "We can have a rematch, if you like." Said Yazz.

I started to step to Yazz when Luke got in between us.

"Nah y'all gotta chill." "Yo Yazz let's just go." Replied Luke.

"It's cool bruh, I'm good." I replied.

"Yazz you good?" Asked Luke.

"I'm always good." Replied Yazz.

"Good because if y'all break shit, you pay." Yelled Lee.

I went back to the booth to start back recording when a thought came to mind. I decided to call up some of my female friends who I knew were known thots. I looked in Yazz direction and had an evil grin.

30 minutes later and the girls finally shown up.

"What are we having a party?" Luke replied.

"Sure looks like it." Replied Keith.

Yazz POV

I couldn't believe Luke and Keith brought me to this nigga's studio session. I was cool as long as dude ain't say shit to me and kept his distance.

Luke, Keith, and I were all sitting on the couch chilling when this brown skin girl with a huge ass came and sat in my lap.

"Hey sexy." The girl replied.

Luke and Keith looked at me and laughed.

"Yo." I replied to the girl signaling for her to move.

"What's wrong baby?" She replied stroking my hair.

"Nothing's wrong, but can you not sit in my lap and not touch me like that."

"I thought that's what you like?" "You don't remember me?" "I'm Sierra."

"Fuck." I mumbled under my breath. I remember hooking up with her last year. But in my defense I was drunk.

There were too many people in this room. And I didn't need anyone getting the wrong idea.

Jacob's POV

I rubbed my hands together it look like my plan was working. Now on to plan B. I decided to call Serayah on face time. I pray that she answered.

After 3 rings, she finally picked up.

"What do you want Jacob?" Serayah questioned.

I had a smile on my face.

"Oh nothing really, I just thought maybe you wanted to see what your dude was up too."

I turn my back camera on exposing Yazz and that thot Sierra.

I quickly turn the camera back around.

"Thought you should know the truth." I said to Serayah.

I notice Serayah had a look of sadness on her face and I felt kind of guilty.

"Yeah thanks" she mumbled and quickly ended face time.

Yazz POV

"Look I have a girl." "I'm not interested." I replied getting up from the couch.

"I have a girl too." Keith said to Sierra's friend who was giving him her number.

"Not me ladies, I'm single." Replied Luke.

"I'll catch y'all boys later, I'm out." "And Keith you probably should too before Ryan kill yo ass." I laughed.

"Right behind you bruh." Replied Keith

I was missing my baby. I decided to stop by her place and surprise her.

I rung the doorbell. After 2 minutes she finally answered.

I noticed that she had an angry look on her face.

"What are you doing here?" Serayah snapped.

"Damn what's with you?" "I wanted to see you." "I missed you." I replied

"Where have you been?" Serayah questioned.

"I was just out with the boys."

"So you're gonna sit there and lie to  me?" Serayah snapped again

"What are you talking about?" I questioned.

"I saw that bitch all over you." "So don't lie to me."

"I didn't do anything." "And saw?" "How did you know?" I questioned.

"I know what I saw, I'm not dumb." Said Serayah.

"Jacob." I replied.

"He invited those girls to the studio, I bet he set this entire thing up." "And let me guess he took a video of me and sent it to you?" I question.

Serayah stared at me not saying anything.

"Baby I swear it's not what it looked like." "You probably saw me at the wrong moment but I swear I told that girl that I wasn't interested." "I ended up leaving."

"Yazz I don't know." Replied Serayah

"You're the only girl I wanna be with." I replied pulling her in as we paused and looked into each other eyes before connecting the kiss.

"I love you." Serayah replied. "I love you too."

"Stay the night." Serayah responded taking my hand leading me to the bedroom
