The girls made it down stairs just as the men were walking through the front door. Aaliyah peeped out Omari's facial expression trying to read what he was thinking. Omari  noticed Aaliyah and she was looking bad as hell his dick instantly started jumping just looking at her. He wasn't feeling her going out though, he thought that they would spend time together since she had been with Mya all day, and he wasn't feeling how short her dress was. "Hey Lee let me talk to you for a minute." He wanted to talk to her in private because the last time he told her something in front of company she got an attitude. They walked up stairs and went in the room. "What's up Mari?" Aaliyah asked sitting on the bed. "Aight first ma do you think that's something you should be wearing when you got a nigga?" "Really Mari I had on shorts earlier and you didn't say nothing." "Cause atleast with shorts if you bend over you won't see your panties and shi..stuff." Omari took a deep breath trying to be cool. "You really mad about an outfit? Come on now if I thought I was wearing something that was inappropriate since I am in a relationship I wouldn't have put it on. You getting mad when that's all you have to say is Aaliyah I'm not feeling you going out in that. It ain't that serious." Aaliyah was beyond frustrated with Omari. They had been butting heads damn near all day. "Know what fuck this." Aaliyah unzipped her boots and kicked them off, she then pulled the dress over her head and went to grab some sweat pants and a t shirt out of the draw. She walked and grabbed some flip flops out of  his closet before heading for the door. "Where you going?" Omari asked standing in front of the door. "Move Omari." "No ma where you going?" "I'm going home. We been at it all day and I don't like it. I think we might just need time for ourselves." "What are you trying to say Lee?" "Exactly what I just said this is what I was scared of stuff like this gone mess up something good. We would never be arguing if we weren't a couple. Maybe we need to gone back to being friends cause you don't know how to talk and communicate with females. Yes I'm you're woman, but I am not your child." The last thing Aaliyah wanted was to ruin her friendship with Omari. If losing him as a partner was what it took to keep their friendship,  then she was willing to let it go. Omari took a deep breath and rubbed his hands through his hair and down his face. "Look ma I'm all the way new with this whole relationship thing.  You're my first real girl friend period. I was honest with you about how I was with females, but I'm trying something completely different with you. You gone have to work with me and help me learn this shit, because before now the bitches I was messing with could have gone out butt ass naked and I wouldn't have cared at all. I love you man, and just that in itself got me confused cause I have never loved a woman other than my moms and grandma. I'm trying Lee and I know I got alot more to learn, but everytime something aint going right you cant try to back out. Either you gone ride it out with me through the good and bad and help me be that nigga you want, or maybe we just gone have to let it go." Aaliyah didn't want to end things this early especially after hearing where he was coming from, and she didn't know it but Omari didn't want her to. "Watch out Mari." She seen his jaw flex, but he stepped to the side. Aaliyah walked downstairs and told Mya she was staying in tonight. They hugged and Mya and Desean left. She locked the door behind them and went back upstairs. Omari was sitting on the bed messing with his phone. "You bet not be texting the next bitch." Omari looked up, but kept a straight face. "I thought you left?" "It's still not to late for me to, but regardless if I do you still gone be my nigga." Omari cracked a little smile. "Come here." Aaliyah listened and went to climb in the bed. "You mine?" He asked her with a serious face. "Forever." She returned his serious stare. He leaned in and kissed her, and the two relaxed for the rest of the night.

"So ma you saying we should open up a club." "Yes bae think about it. Everybody likes to have a good time no matter the age. When people are getting to old to be going, then others are becoming old enough to go, then we can have old school nights once a month for the old heads. It's a never ending money cycle." Aaliyah and Omari got up the next day on legit business mode. Omari thought it was so attractive that Aaliyah was business smart along with being street smart. Her ideal for a club was actually a good idea.  Omari knew he didn't want to be in the streets for ever, so if he became an owner of something that might speed up the process of getting out the streets. "I'm with it bae, we got to find the locations, and all the legal stuff then we in business." "Well I think I have a location in mind already we just need to get a liquor license and a permit. Oh yeah and I was thinking since I am slickly a celeb I could perform every now and then for free to bring in extra money." Omari thought for a second and it was a win win. Aaliyah gets to do what she loves and they would bring in more money on the nights she performs. "Aight ma I can deal with that, but it's not gone be an every night thing if you gone be an owner you gone have to relax too." "I know baby I wouldn't have time to do it every night probably just once every other month." "Ok I'm cool with that we just got to get everything together." "After we talk to a lawyer and stuff I will give you the money for my half." "Mama you don't have to give me money half of the business is still gone be yours." "I want to and that's the end of that." Omari shook his head because she could be so stubborn sometimes,  but he love her for that. "Aight ma ill get in touch with my lawyer today and we can ride by and see the spot you got in mind." "Cool, but bae I need to head home. Just call me when you ready to make some moves, and we can meet up." "Why?" "I'm running out of stuff over here, plus I need to check my mail and stuff." "I don't know why you just wont move in how many time do you want me to ask you?" Omari had already asked Aaliyah to move in with him 3 times. "You not tryna turn your bachelor pad into a home." "I'm not a bachelor anymore, so I'm ready. Plus I wouldn't ask you to move in if I didn't want you here." Aaliyah thought for a second and it wasnt the worst ideal they had to really be with each other everyday to see if they could tolerate each other. "Ok I'll give it a try, but I'm still keeping my house. I worked hard for it and I love that place." "You just keeping it for an escape plan." Aaliyah winked and started smiling. Omari shook his head. "So we need to handle that before we get on this business stuff." "Ok I'm ready." The couple got dressed and went to Aaliyahs house to get most of her stuff. They didn't even bring all of her clothes and shoes and it took them over an hour and a half. "Damn ma you got too much shit." "I know you not talking.  Have you looked in your closet lately?" "Yeah yeah just your jewelry gone take up half my room." Omari joked. After they got all of Aaliyah's stuff put up they went and changed her mailing address before getting to the business. They went and seen the location Aaliyah had in mind and Omari made a call to his lawyer. Omari was actually feeling the spot Aaliyah wanted it had enough room to make a huge club and a parking lot. If they could get that land and the lot on the side of it they could even build a parking garage,  and have the parkin lot for valet only. The wheels in their heads started turning just envisioning  what they could do with the land. Omari and Aaliyah sat across from Anderson Stone Omari's lawyer talking business. "Ok Omari this is actually a good thing for you. I know what it is you do so this will let's say wash your dirty money, and provide you with a tax write off. I think this is a smart move for you as long as you don't have illegal activity taking place in your business." The lawyer was basically telling Omari not to sell drugs out of the club. "I got you, and I need you to get us the permits and to negotiate on the location for us." "I'm on it now. I will be calling you in an hour with the figures." Omari smiled and they shook hands. "Thats why I pay you the big bucks." Omari's lawyer was always on pay role for anything  Omari needed legal wise, and Omari paid him well. Mr. Stone turned and shook Aaliyahs hand. He didn't want to make her feel left out, since apparently she was going to invest in the business. "I will be in touch soon." He told her before pulling out his phone and exiting the room. "So what next?" Aaliyah asked Omari when they were alone. "Now we need to find the best contractor to build us our spot.  I'm confident that Stone is going to handle his business,  so we might as well get the ball rolling." Aaliyah smiled because they were about to make it happen. "Let's get it then."
2 months later
"Are you ready for tonight?" Omari asked Aaliyah while she was putting the finishing touches on her makeup. Tonight was the grand opening of Club Empire, and he wouldn't let no one know it but Omari was nervous. "Yes baby I am excited. We have been working hard for this night." Stone came through with all the permits and licenses they would need, so they had to make sure everything else was on point. They worked many hard days and nights to have everything perfect, and they dished out a good bit of money. Just the building itself cost them 3.6 million, and thats not including the parking garage they had built next to it. "How do I look?" Aaliyah asked when she was completely ready. She was wearing a custom made white Armani dress, with a pair of white Christian Louboutins. She accented her outfit with diamond jewelry and gave herself a smokey look with her makeup. She was looking flawless in every aspect. "Damn ma you looking good." Omari walked up to her and pulled her against him, but she pushed him off. "Lol nope don't even think about it." He started grinning cause she knew exactly what he wanted. She looked at him and shook her head no. "Ok ok." He put his hands up in surrender making her laugh. Aaliyah walked back up to Omari and fixed his tie before giving him a kiss. "Boy you look good in everything." She told him. Omari and Aaliyah was matching. He wore an all white Armani Suit, with the matching white Armani loafers.  He sported an iced out rolex, with some studs, and a diamond necklace. He got a fresh line, and was looking like he was supposed to be on the cover of GQ. "I know I know, but let's go we was supposed to be the first people there and we probably the last." He teased Aaliyah. She just laughed and they had a driver take them to their club. They pulled up and it was packed.  Everybody wanted to come out and see if the club was about all the hype they had been hearing, and it was. This club had 3 floors all decorated different but flawless, and a glass elevator to bring you to each level. It had a huge dance floor,  plenty of vip areas, and a bar with some of the most expensive liquor you could think. Aaliyah decided to bring different DJs out to see who did the best job,  so music was also on point. The 3rd level was where their separate offices sat with closets and full bathrooms incase they needed to freshen up. They had really outdone themselves with this investment,  and was going to bring in plenty of bank. "Damn ma it look better than I imagined." Omari said in Aaliyahs ear. Aaliyah just smiled. She was proud of the two of them. "Should we go thank everyone for coming out?" She turned to ask Omari. He shook his head yeah and they headed towards the stage. When the DJ noticed them coming he made an announcement.  "Ok folks we have the people who made this hot club that you are in now heading to the stage.  Let's give it up to the King and Queen of this Empire." Omari and Aaliyah walked on stage hand on hand and the crowd showed mad love. Omari really wasn't a man to make a speech so he let Aaliyah do the talking. "On the behalf of myself and my very handsome boyfriend and business partner we would like to thank you all for coming out and showing love. Yall turn up drinks half off all night courtesy of us. Have fun." The DJ started playing Migos Handsome and Wealthy and got the party back started. Aaliyah and Omari walked off the stage and headed for the elevator. They wanted to see the view from upstairs, so they went up to the 3rd floor. You could see in amd out of the glass on the 2nd floor, but you could only see out the glass on the 3rd and thats the way they wanted it. You had to put in a code just to get off on the 3rd floor that only the two of them knew. They made it up there and watched everybody down stairs have fun. "Damn bae im feeling this. I think I like being the owner of something big better than singing." Aaliyah told Omari making him laugh. He thought it was cute that she was excited though. "Let's be real ma you gone sing regardless." "Lol true, but maybe for a hobby. You know I already told you I didn't want to sign with anybody. I just love making music, and that's the easy part for a pro." She winked. "I'm with you on whatever you want to do ma." "Good to know. Now where is Mya and Sean it's time to have fun." Omari pulled out his phone and called Sean. "Nigga we walking in now." Omari just laughed and hung up. "Come on ma they coming in now." They headed back downstairs to link up with their people. A couple people pulled Aaliyah to the side wanting to take pictures,  but she didn't mind she loves the camera. "Omg yall did your thing with this." Mya told Omari and Aaliyah when they met them at the door. "Thank you. " the two said in unison. "This a good look bra." Sean told Omari shaking his hand. "Preciate that fam." "Ok yall its time to have fun." Aaliyah said grabbing Omari's hand dragging him to the dance floor. Omari wasn't really one to dance, but he was gone let loose tonight with his woman. He danced with her for awhile, then the men went to the bar to get drinks. Omari and Desean was at the bar watching Aaliyah and Mya turn up sipping on hen when some girls walked up to them. They had on some tight short dresses that barely covered their ass, and the men couldn't lie they was looking pretty good. "Hey sexy." One of the chick purred at Omari. "What's good ma?" "I'm trying to see what's good with you." She walked in between Omari's legs and rubbed his shoulder. Omari looked past the girl and saw Aaliyah still on the dance floor dancing with some dude. He looked back at the girl who was all in his face and stood up. "Sorry ma I'm taken." He left her standinh there and walked towards Aaliyah. He noticed she pointed at him before he made it to her. When he got closer she walked up to him and left dude standing there. Dude walked past them and winked at Aaliyah before disappearing in the crowd. Omari didn't miss the gesture,  so he looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Do I need to go kick your little boy friend ass out, and why you point at me when I was walking over here?" Aaliyah looked at him and smirked. "Well he asked me if I had a man so I pointed you out, and yeah you can kick him out along with your girlfriend who was all in your lap." Aaliyah never missed anything either, and Omari couldn't do nothing but grin. "You want a drink?" He asked her. "I see you hurried up and changed the subject, and yeah I want an apple martini." He just shook his head and walked her over to the bar to get her a drink, and him another one. Aaliyah took a couple of sips of her drink, but she wasnt feeling it. The drink was making her feel nauseous. Omari noticed her expression. "You good Lee?" "Yeah I'm ok." "You sure." She looked at him with convincing eyes. "Yes Mari I'm fine." "How long do you want to stay here tonight?" "Don't the owners stay until everybody leave?" "Yeah but you don't have to stay all night since I'm here, and imma hire somebody to handle this stuff for now on." Aaliyah was glad to hear that cause she didnt know if she wanted to be in the club all night tonight. "Im about to head back upstairs to relax before heading home. Do you want me to collect the money and bring it upstairs now, so you won't have to bring so much later on?" "Yeah thats a good idea ill help you." They collected the money that they made so far from the bar and the front door and brought it up to the third floor where they kept a safe hidden. "I'm about to do a count and put the figures in the computers so we can see if we have already made a profit. Then you can do it again before you leave." Aaliyah did the count about 3 times, and they were already at about 10k with it still being early. They probably would bring in atleast 5 to 8 more thousand and they were only charging 20 at the door for everybody. Aaliyah put the figures in her labtop in her office instantly sending it to Omari's labtop. That way when either one of them entered anything pertaining to the business both of them would get the information. "What's the numbers looking like bae?" Omari asked Aaliyah walking in her office. "We just about at 10, but you already know it's only going to be more coming in." "True we starting off good." Aaliyah just smiled and nodded her head. "Don't forget to pay the bartenders and security before you put the rest of the money up before you leave." "I got it ma. Are you feeling any better?" "Yeah I think I ate something bad earlier,  but I'm good now." "That's good, so are you gone hang around with me then?" "Yeah I can do that." Omari walked over to her and sat her on top of her desk. Aaliyah looked at him with raised eyebrows and smirked. "And what do you think you're doing." Omari smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about." He leaned down and started kissing her neck. Aaliyah let out a low moan. She loved the feeling of his lips on her skin. He pulled back and pulled her dress up on her waist before pulling her panties off. He leaned back down and started kissing her on the the lips. Aaliyah pushed him back some. "Do you have a condom?" "Hold on." Omari walked out of her office and came back with a magnum in his hand. He walked back in and started undoing his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. "Where you get that from?" "I bought a pack and put them in my desk." Aaliyah looked at him like he was crazy. "Don't look at me like that ma trust me in using these bitches on you." He walked back up on her and undid his pants and let them fall to his ankles. He pulled his briefs down and ripped open his condom before sliding it on. He pulled Aaliyah closer to him and slide into her. He started grinding in and out of her giving her slow deep strokes before she stopped him. "Oh shit hold on baby." "What's wrong?" "It just hurt a little bit." "I'm not going hard at all ma." "It still hurts just slide back some." Omari slid back in her but didnt go too deep. After the first minute it started feeling good to Aaliyah, and a couple minutes later they both got off. "You sure you're good Lee Lee?" Omari asked taking the condom off and fixing his clothes before going to flush it. "Yeah im ok." Aaliyah got up and cleaned herself off. She hadn't brought any extra underwear and clothes yet, so she just pulled her dress down until she got home. "What are you about to do with no panties on." "Don't start Mari I'm about to go home, I'm tired." "Aight ma be careful. I will be home after we close up." "Ok baby. Be careful and be good." Omari kissed Aaliyah. "I'm always good ma." "Yeah yeah." Aaliyah gave Omari another kiss before heading downstairs. She spotted Mya at the bar with Desean and went to get her. "Hey sis I need you to go home with me." "Are you ok? What's wrong?" "I just need you to come with me." "Ok." She turned and told Desean something and came back to Aaliyah. "Ok let's go." The girls left the club, and made a pit stop before going back to Omari and Aaliyahs house. Aaliyah sat in the bathroom holding a pregnancy test in her hand waiting on the results to show up. She was beyond nervous and didn't know if she was ready to see the results.
