Ok , I think we Got it . Thats a Wrap



Amir: How did I Do

Ant: Great , You look Good , sound Good , Everything's in Order . You Just Be Ready for Friday


Amir: Ha ! Ready I was Born Ready . Look at this Body , this Smile , This Voice . Im Sure Im going to Knock this out the Park


Ant: Sure ? You Sound like your Not 100 Percent


Amir: I Mean I Am


Ant: Buuuuuut


Amir: I Know We had a Deal For me to Drop it and Forget about it


Ant: So why are we having this Conversation


Amir: Because Its not that Easy .


Ant: Then what do you need to make your forget , a Piece of Eye candy on your Arm cause I can make that Happen , In fact I can Pretty much help you with anything but that .


Amir: Thats the Only thing I Need


Ant: Ughhhhh


Amir: Look , I know its alot to ask of you


Ant: You Damn Right !


Amir: But I need to see Him , Its the only way


Ant: No , No you Dont . What You need to Do is Focus on bringing your A Game to this Showcase


Amir: I Cant !


Ant: Why Cant you


Amir: Because ! you were right , Im afraid . Afraid of failing , Afraid to Perform in front of these Big name people again , Afraid that they wont Look at me as the same talented Guy I was before .


Ant: I Dont get why , You Need to talk to Kendrick


Amir: Because , before Him , I wasnt sure if I wanted to do this . I Lacked inspiration . But Kendrick , he lite a spark In me that makes me believe in Myself***gain . Hes my Muse and without him I dont think I can do it .


Ant: Im Sorry , But I Cant .


Amir: Then Your Condemning me to fail . Without him theres No way Im going to Wow the Room . So either you Find a way to get him there or you might as well cancel the whole thing .


Ant: Do you realize what you asking me to do


Amir: Yes I Understand it Full and Well


Ant: No I Dont think you do , Your asking me to Jeopardize my Friends relationship .


Amir: Look Just get him there , Hell bring em both . I Dont even Have to see him . Just get him there



Amir walks away . Basically leaving me there with a Blank look on my face . I Just stood there trying to figure out a way for everything to Work out , when my thoughts were interrupted .


Aaron: Aye Can I go Now


Ant: Uhhhh ,Yea your threw for the day


Aaron: Cool , Im out


Ant: Oh Wait , Just a Heads up you Brother is Pissed at you


Aaron: What Now


Ant: Did you think we didnt Know about you sneaking out at Night


Aaron: Dude im Grown


Ant: Tell that to him Not me .


Aaron: Aight whatever .



After Aaron Left , I Sat at my desk trying to Find a way for all this to work out without me coming across as a Blood Thirsty Business man . I wanted Amir to be at his Best , But also Didnt want to put Kendrick in an Uncomfortable Position . I finally Came to a Conclusion that would balance out the playing fields .


Cameron: Hello


Ant: Aye Wassup


Cameron: Nothing Hanging Round the House . You Got some Work for me


Ant: Not quite , But I do have a Opportunity to network .


Cameron: Ok


Ant: theres this Music Event Tonight , and there should be some Big Name Artist there . So That could be good for you


Cameron: Allright that sounds Good man , Can Kendrick come


Ant: Of course , bring him the more the Merrier


Cameron: Aight , Just send me the time and Place and i'll be there .


Ant: Ok , see ya then


After hanging up with Cameron , I felt guilty . I could be putting there relationship into the Lions Den . Just to save my own Ass , All I had to do was make sure Kendrick stayed Far away from Amir and Hope Kendrick doesnt Kill Me .



Kendrick's Pov


Tonight Cameron and I are Heading to some Event thats Suppose to be Great Networking For his Career . If it was up to me we would Be at Home Watching the walking Dead marathon , I figured this was important to him since he wanted to Miss his favorite show


Kendrick: So where are we going again ?


Cameron: Some Music event


Kendrick: Music ?


Cameron: Yea , You Know that thing that makes you wanna Dance


Kendrick: Dont get smart Nigga , Did he say what kind of Music Event


Cameron: No , he just said there would be some big names here , and I should Come and Pitch myself around


Kendrick: Mmmm


Cameron: Why , wassup


Kendrick: Nothing


Upon Arriving , There Parking Lot was Filled with Cars and People . I Looked up and Saw the sign said . Live Tonight Amir Howards . Instantly My heart Dropped then Jumped back up . I was Scared then Pissed . I Just stared at his Name Big In Lights as my heart pounded out of control.

Cameron: Aye bae you aight


Kendrick: ..........


Cameron: Kendrick


Kendrick: Huh


Cameron: You Ok ?


Kendrick: Oh Uhhh , yea Im good


Cameron: Should Have Known this was an Amir Event


Kendrick: Right , Leave it to Ant


Cameron: what was that


Kendrick: Nothing


Cameron: Maybe if he worked half as hard for me as he does Amir I would have booked something By Now


Kendrick: Clearly His Priorities are F***ked Up *Upset*


Cameron: Lets Just go In , Smile , Shake some Hands and Bounce


Kendrick: Or we could just bounce


Cameron: Naaaw , we came all the way here , might as well go In here and Kiss some ass .


Kendrick: Kiss some Ass , Baby you can just Star in the Next Commercial if thats the case


Cameron: Take no Offense but I dont wanna be just known as the Skin Care guy . Hopefully theres some star Power in the Building .


Kendrick: Why would there Be . Amir is barely a star Lol


Cameron: Somebody's Catty Tonight


Kendrick: you Aint seen Nothing yet .


Cameron: Come on Lets Go in .



I was Hesitant to open the Door , All I really wanted to do was go home . The Last Place I wanted to Be was at An Amir Howards Show , The last show the Dude practically attacked me with his Over bearing Essence . But if I was going to be Here I might as well Bring the Claws out and give Ant a piece of My Mind . We walked into the Place and it was packed with Broke Down Amir Fans , and a Couple D List Celebs . I Rj Wave From His table signaling us to come over

Cameron: Oh there go Rj and Aaron over there , Come on


Kendrick: you Go ahead , Ima go Find Ant


Cameron: Ok


I searched threw the Crowd looking for that Back stabber . I finally found him Slithering around the room smiling and waving .

Kendrick: You Have reached an All time Low


Ant: Excuse Me


Kendrick: You Invited Cameron to Amir's Event


Ant: Whats the big Deal , theres Tons of Opportunity for Cameron's career Here


Kendrick: Bulls***t , This Room is Filled with D List Celebs and Has beens of the Music Industry . You Invited him because it benefited you . Stop Lying


Ant: Ok Maybe I Did .....


Kendrick: Oh My God If the knife In Tiara's back wasnt Fun enough you Just had to stick One In My back too Huh


Ant: its Not like that


Kendrick: then what is it Like . Cause it Looked like you totally ignored the Arrangement We had , Just to further Your Career


Ant: Look this has Nothing to Do with My Career


Kendrick: Anthony Do not stand here and Lie to me , I will Punch you In the face


Ant: Pause dont forget who your talking to


Kendrick: you Know what Im not here to Fight , You got me here , thats all that matters , where would you like me to sit In front of you so the Knife slides in easier .


Ant: Kendrick .


Kendrick: No , Ant I dont even want to hear it .


Ant: Just listen , I didnt do it to spite you . He went On and On about how you were the reason He wanted to do Music again . Something about you Being his Muse . The Kid was Afraid , and Begged me to get you here . He Said he doesnt have to see you he just needed you here .


Kendrick: So you call cameron with some lame Story like this is a Networking opportunity for him , just to get me here , Were you even Concerned about Camerons Career or just your owns


Ant: Of Course Im Concerned about his , I want everybody to Win , Not just me are you Kidding me


Kendrick: No , Im Not , Im actually Quite Mad at you


Ant: Well Im Sorry , Honestly , Just stay at the table and when its over I'll Make sure he doesnt say One Word to you


Kendrick: Thanks But Not thanks , since Im already here , and Clearly you cant Keep up your end of the deal I Will Do it Myself . Where is he ?


Ant: In His Green Room


Kendrick: I'll Be right back


Ant: Where are you going


Kendrick: to Let him hear it from My mouth , to stay away from me and Leave me the Hell alone . Do me a favor and tell Cam Im in the bathroom .



I walked away from Anthony , grabbed a Glass and headed to the Elevator to Amir's Green Room . Before Knocking on the Door , I reminded myself how much I Disliked him , to add Fuel to the Fire I was about to Unleas***Twisted the Doorknob and Opened the Door . He was Doing Vocals with his back turned to me looking out the window , he turned around and Instantly stop the scale when he saw me standing in the door way . His face lite up it was like I was a tall glass of water in the Sahara Desert .

Amir: You Came . I Didnt think you Would Come


Kendrick: Well I was tricked so Dont get too Happy


Amir: But It doesnt Matter , Your Here thats all that matters


Kendrick: Well you might wanna get Unhappy , Im Here to set you straight


Amir: For what , What I Do Now


Kendrick: I thought Ant told you about the Situation


Amir: He did


Kendrick: Then Why the F***k Cant you get it threw your Thick Skull


Amir: Because I dont Care


Kendrick: What ?


Amir: Because I Dont Care about Him , I Dont give two F***ks about you Having a Nigga . Your Relationship means nothing to me


Kendrick: And that is the Reason Im Here , To tell you from my Own mouth that Nothing will ever Happen between us , Nothing . And your Inconsiderateness Is why I wont Feel Bad for saying this , Your beneath me I would never Love somebody like You . And as far as being Your Muse , Heres a Piece of advice give it up your Music Sucks


Amir: So You Came all the way here to Hurt me , To Hurt My Feelings . You got out your Cozy bed with your Boyfriend you Love so Much to Hurt My Feelings , Is that Why Your Here . Huh !


Kendrick: Thats Exactly why Im here


Amir: Kiss me

He Quickly Moved into me Pushing me against the Wall , and Grabbing my waist Firmly . Breathing Hard and Eyes Locked into mines , I couldnt Turn away I couldnt fight it . All the Anger and Hate , started to Burn it felt like Fire was Sparking between us , before I Knew It Our Lips were Pressed against each others , His tongue Invaded my mouth and it tasted so sweet , His Kiss was so Firm yet soft , Fierce yet gentle , It just felt good , But bad at the same time . He started Grabbing me all over and I Couldnt Fight it anymore I Reached under his shirt and ran my hand up his chest , all the while still Weakened by his Kiss . he lifted my leg and put it around his Body , I Lifted up and he pressed me against the wall again , With both legs wrapped around him , I started biting his shoulder Blade as He sucked on my neck and pinched my Nipple threw my shirt . I was Losing myself as every second went By , I was Forgetting who i was , Who I loved . I was Letting go of All My Inhibitions , I felt Like a caged bird Finally soaring threw the sky . Just as I felt his D***k Pressing against my thigh there was a Knock at the Door .

Your On In 10 !

And just like that It was Over, Instantly guilt flourished threw my Body . He Let me Down and I Fixed myself up . And Walked out the Room and to the Elevator . It was taking it forever to open I just wanted to get back to the table and once again pretend this Never Happened . the Door Opened and I Practically ran into the Elevator and Pressed my back against the Wall , It was so Heated in the room that the Cold Wall of the elevator seemed to be cooling me Down , As the Doors started closing I finally let out a breath of relief , Just as My eyes were closing I saw a hand Reach into the elevator stopping the door from closing . There stood Amir breathing Hard and Out of Breath . He Didnt say anything he just got in the elevator and stood there with his back to me .

Amir: Awkward


Kendrick: ..........


Amir: Whats the matter Cat got Your tongue . Dont Worry You'll Be back safe with Him In No time



Just as Amir said that with a Snarky Undertone the Elevator jerked and then Completely stopped ........ To Be Continued
