I texted Todd that we were here, so he sent security, to come get us. The stares, we got, were crazy. I even heard a girl ask "how they get to go in free?" Wait until she sees us with Lucci. "Everybody out, tonight," Teyana says, as we're escorted. "Yea, no wonder the line is so long, outside. It's already packed, in here." "Thank God, we in a section." "Exactly."

We get to the section and Todd helps me up. Lucci does the same, for Teyana. There's one other guy and like three girls, already in here. Hopefully, that keeps the attention off of us. "Thank y'all for coming. It's time to get lit now," Lucci says. "Y'all need drinks?" Todd asks. Before we can answer, he starts pouring us Jack and Coke. "Thank you." We drink our drinks and dance along, to the music. Girls walk by, in flocks, tryna get near Lucci. Security isn't having it, though. "Y'all look so damn good. And then y'all got the whole black and white thing going on," Todd leans into me. "Sweet and Spicy," I smile, "Sweet and spicy," he repeats.

About 15 minutes in, they hand Lucci the mic, to perform a little bit. Now, all of the attention, is on this section. We're on our second drink, now and I've loosened up a little bit. We look good, so if they're hating, it's not because we don't look bomb as hell. We all rap along, to his songs, feeling the vibe. He starts performing "All Night Long" featuring Trey Songz. "Yass, this my shit!" Teyana yells. She listens to it every day. As he performs, Lucci finds himself holding onto Teyana. I start to worry. I know all the rappers do stuff like this, but she has a man. I'd hate for this to get out. I can tell that she doesn't want to embarrass him, so she plays along. Thankfully and surprisingly, he doesn't get too disrespectful. He does kiss her hand, once he finishes performing, though.

Three drinks in, I end up dancing with Todd. He actually knows how to keep up. "I can handle you," he whispers, in my ear. It's as if he was reading my mind. We're deep in a dance, before realizing some shit popping off. Reginae brushes by security and charges at Lucci. "So this is what we doing now?!" She yells. "You out here having bitches in your section and dancing with her while performing? You knew I was gone see that shit!" "Babe, chill! We was just dancing. You know how I perform." He yells back. "You can perform without being extra!" By this time, Teyana made her way back over to me. "See, this is why I don't go out. Some shit always happens." Teyana says. "Girl, it was only a matter of time. All these damn cameras seen you dance with him. I just didn't think she would come out, this fast." "I came here tryna surprise you and I get word you out here being stupid!" Reginae continues yelling. Now, she's hitting on him, while yelling. Security comes and try defusing the situation. Everybody is looking at us and at this point, I just wanna leave.

Reginae walks back out of the section and actually leaves. She made sure to give Teyana a good glare, first. "I don't care nothing 'bout that. As long as she didn't try swinging, we good. Like I said, I don't want no problems with her." Teyana says to me. "Well you shouldn't have danced with her man," some random girl, in front of our section says. "Bitch, nobody asked you. Whale looking hoe." Teyana claps back. "Man, I'm out. I got a child and the last thing I need is to go BACK to jail." She emphasizes "back" to let this random chick know, she is not the one to play with. "Y'all I'm so sorry," Lucci explains. "It's all good, we're just gonna go." I say. "Let me walk them out." Todd says. "I'm 'bout to leave, too man. I gotta go fix this, with my girl." Lucci follows. Of course folks are upset because they expected Lucci to be here all night but truth is, they paid him to come and do a little performance. They got all these people in here, because of him so they got their money's worth, by now.

Todd and Lucci waited until our Uber got here. "I can't apologize enough," Lucci says. "It's okay. Shit happens," Teyana answers. We hug it out and go our separate ways. "I'm actually hungry. We should stop at Waffle House," Teyana suggests. "I couldn't agree more." We have the Uber driver detour to a Waffle House, near campus. I can already taste the waffles. Thankfully, it's a Friday night, so other college students are out, in club clothes. But of course, we look better.

We find a booth and wait for a waiter. "Bitchhhh. Is that Marcus? Oh no, he's stalking you, at this point," Teyana points toward the door. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty weird. "I didn't even post where we were going or that we even left the club." He sees us and looks genuinely shocked. "I thought y'all were going out, tonight." He says. "We did but some drama popped off and it was time for us to go. What you doing out here, this late?" Teyana asks. "I'm still young, so I like to eat, after a night out," Marcus laughs. "A night out? Where'd you go?" I ask. I hope I don't sound prying. "This lounge in Midtown. One of my boys came in town, from New York, for his birthday. We'll be out all weekend." "Okay, I see you." I answer. He looks damn good, in his navy blue button up shirt and long cargo pants. He smiles. "Well let me go order me and my wife some food. I can't bring home any food, without sharing. See you Monday, Teyana and you Tuesday, Charity." "Bye, Marcus." Teyana waves. "See you Tuesday."

We eat our food and discuss the craziness that just happened. Reginae started popping shit on IG but about Lucci. They need to keep their business off of social media. We finish our food and wait for the waiter, to bring our checks. "The guy, in the blue, from earlier, paid for your meals." The waiter says. "What?" Teyana questions. "Was it enough? He didn't even know what we were going to order." At this point, I'm concerned. "Yep, he paid with a $50 bill." "Wow." "Well thank you, Marcus." Teyana sips her apple juice. "He got money! First $100 PLUS the gifts and now this?" "Yea, this is starting to get outta hand." I worry. "Girl, calm down. He's our manager. He just wanted to be nice. He paid for both of us. If he only paid for you, I'd be concerned. Mad and concerned." Teyana laughs. This girl has no shame.

Thanks, for the food. You didn't have to do that either. I text him. I'm sure he's still up. Hopefully, his wife doesn't think anything of it. Crap. It's the least I can do. Y'all should come out, with me and my boys, tomorrow. We got y'all. "Girl, he invited us out with his friends, tomorrow." I yell. "Oh nah. I can't do two nights in a row. My man won't have it. Get one of your school friends to go. I'm sure he'll still say yes, just to see you." "I kinda already made plans to go to the back to school party, tomorrow. Devin and my girls are going." "Well do both. I know you can party hop." "You shouldn't be encouraging this." "I just want you to have fun. You don't do much and you don't even have a kid. Just don't have sex with him or anything. He's our manager for Christ's sake," Teyana laughs. "I can't stand you. You said he was forbidden fruit." "Just don't become Eve then, Charity."
