Life Outside of Empire

Video Shoot

Serayah's POV

But I'm undecided, excited, ignited
And I don't wanna feel the way I do, but I like it
Look at all these sparks flying
But I'm still indecisive
And she want me to wife it
But I'm undecided

"Okay that's a wrap," the director yelled out.

I grabbed a water bottle. It's been 1 week of nonstop rehearsals and we finally finished up the video shoot.

"Yo Serayah you really killed it Ma." Said Chris

"Aww thanks." I said trying to contain my excitement." "I really hope the fans dig it." I replied.

"Trust me they will." Replied Chris.

"And I really enjoyed working with you." Said Chris

"It was my pleasure." "And just watching you, I really admire your work ethic." I replied.

"Preciate that." "But not only my work ethic, I know you guys go hard over there, all those long hours you put in." "I'm glad you were able to find some free time." Chris Replied.

"Don't get me wrong, I love doing Empire, and I'm very-grateful, but it's nice doing something outside of the show for a change." I said.

"I feel you," Said Chris.

"You got my number, maybe we can hook up sometime?" Chris Replied.

I gave him a questionable look.

"Not like that shawty." Chris laughed. "Hook up and do some music."

"Oh music" "Yeah definitely." I laughed nervously.

"Well I gotta bounce." "See you around shawty." Chris Replied.

My Christmas break was almost over and I only had a few days until it was time to return to work.

A few days later I was on a flight ✈️ back to Chicago. My Mom accompany me.

"I'm so tired." I groan. "

"We're almost there and you can sleep." My mom suggested.

"Oh and almost forgot here's your script for the upcoming episodes." "It was dropped off at my office while you were away." Replied Mom

I glanced over it. 

"I really don't like what the writers are doing with my character this season." I mumbled.

"It can't be that bad." My mom laughed.

"Looks like Tiana will have a new love interest." "The fans are not gonna like this." I Replied.

"Wouldn't be Empire if the writers didn't shake things up a bit." Mom Replied.

"And so speaking of love interests." "How are things going between you and Yazz?" Mom asked.

"Almost as dead as Takeem." "We are not on speaking terms, and I'll love to keep it that way. I replied.

"Good, I liked Jacob better." Said Mom

My phone buzz.

Speaking of Jacob.

"Hey are you back in Chicago?" Jacob texted.

"I will be." "Why wassup?" I replied

"Look I know we ended things and haven't been talking, and I feel weird asking you this, but I really need you to collab on this song with me." Jacob responded.

I paused before I replied back.

Me and Jacob on a song together would be fire.

"Yeah I'm down." I Replied back.

"Okay meet me at the studio soon as you touch down." Jacob responded
