Cyn pulled the duos food into her lap and looked over it. Her mouth watered in amazement.

"Babe what's that place called?"

"The Sheraton." He laughed picking up a shrimp stuffing it in his mouth

She did the same moaning at the taste.

"New favorite place." She laughed pointing down at the plates in her lap

"Don't be jocking me."

"Hush babe."

The duo pulled up to their home. Travis hopped out opening Cyn's door helping her out as she held the food in hand.

They walked up to Vic sitting on the step resting on his phone.

"Vic." Trav greeted dapping him off

"Wuss good." He greeted

"Nothing really but this is my baby Cyn."

"Nice to meet you." Vic greeted pulling her petite body in for a hug

"Nice to meet you too." She smiled shivering a bit

"Sorry babe." Trav laughed letting them all in

"I'm going to change Travie. Take the food." She handed him the food before going up to their room

She changed into a pair of black sweats and tied up her curls before returning down stairs.

"Ayoo this shit sick but it's like incomplete. Like it need a bang."

"Cyn had a idea but I wasn't quite catching what she was saying."

Vic sat at the soundboard as Cyn entered the studio. He waved her over.

"What's the idea you had with this track?"

"Have some speaking in the back. Like behind his words, telling a story."

"Talk on the track."

"No." She laughed nervously

"Come on I'll distort your voice and everything. It won't sound nothing like you."

She nodded and left to the booth.

"Test run. Say "sound check""

"Sound Check." She said sliding the headphones on

"The song is going to play just say whatever comes to mind."

A few seconds later the song filled her ears.

"Honestly, God bless."

They laughed and urged her on.

"I hope it was wet like my jumper though."

They looked at one another and bursted out in laughter. The night raged on like this. Travis and Vic smoked a bit but she steered away from it.

"That was what it needed." Vic said dapping off Travis and giving Cyn a high five

"That was the last song on the album now I can drop it in a few weeks."

Cyn laid on the couch resting her head in Travis' lap.

"Vic?"

"Yea?"

"Is that your real name? Like Victor?"

"Yea and Travis' is Jacques."

"Really?" She asked looking up at him

"Yea you didn't know?"

"I mean yeah, you two are like my favorite artist I just didn't know how to pronounce your name and I assumed Vic's name was Victor."

"How'd you end up dating your favorite artist?" Vic laughed

"It's complicated."

"I got time." He pushed

Cyn chuckled slightly and wrapped her arms around Travis' torso and held on to him

"He saw me walking in the cold and asked if I needed a ride. I declined at first. We went to a diner and ate dinner. He took me home to my dorm and I left." She stopped finding it hard to speak

"Babe I'm going to go to bed." She mumbled getting up

"Nice to meet you Vic. Still waiting on the album." She slightly chuckled before leaving
-
"So what really happened?" Vic inquired

"Her nigga was beating her and nobody knew. She invited me over and cooked dinner a few days after we'd met. Her nigga came in and seemed cool. I went to the bathroom and I hear fighting, so I walk out and he fucking kicked her like 30 times. I whooped his ass and she came to bail me out like 10 minutes later. She came here and avoided me for like a week. Remember we went to the strip club that night with the bitches in mask?"

Vic nodded

"Well that night I found out she started stripping to pay half the rent here or just for money I guess and I wrapped her up in my jacket and took her to a hotel. Some things occurred leading her to be my baby."

"You should write a book or something. But real shit she cool as hell and from what you telling me that's naturally her. You got a keeper bruh and you better keep her."

"Says the hoe-nigga that has a new girlfriend every other day." Travis laughed

"That reminds me. I need you to meet this chick name Nikki, she the one." Vic stated sarcastically

"Alight cool but I'm gonna go check on my baby."

"Cool I'm finna dip anyway."

They dapped each other off and went their separate ways.

Travis walked into his room quietly climbing in the bed. He pulled Cyn into him only to hear her sniffle.

"You crying? What's wrong?"

"Sorry babe." She gave a weak smile and a small chuckle while wiping her face

"What's wrong?" He asked firmly

"This is all so foreign."

"What is?"

"Love. I just don't want to mess it up. I feel like I did that with my first relationship and that why he started hitting me." She looked away as more tears burned the rim of her eyes

"What the hell Cyn? No one has the right to hit you. Don't you ever think I'd hit you Cyn. I'm not Taison, your my everything baby girl."

He pulled her into him bringing her body on to his. He tangled his hands in her hair rocking slightly to put his angel to sleep.

Dealing with a heart that I didn't break.
