surrounded by his homeboys and bodygaurds rapper Duke walked around the fairgrounds scopping the area out. this was his first real set as a artist. it was still day light as his homeboy passed him the blunt.

"damn well what time does the sun set because a nigga is ready to turn up" Los laughed

walking in the other direction was a brownskin babe with a straw in her mouth slurping up what seemed like water.

"damn sis bout bubly as hell" Bean laughed.

" stay from a distance." Duke said turning around and started to head in the girls direction.

They began to have small talk. It really surprised Duke that she didn't even know who he was. Having mixed emotions he still continued the conversation but never exchanging names or social media.

" yeah my homegirl dragged me here to see Duke. hope he's as good as she says"

" i heard bruh was pretty good" he laughed as they parted ways.

"welcome to the stage our very own Duke" the dj yelled to the crowd.

wide eyed and in awe nala laughed in embarrassment. the rapper walked up to the front of the stage and started going in on his number one song. Duke jumped up and down as the crowed began to rap the lyrics with him. Duke cooled down as his homeboy Relo came to the stage and began to preform his part of the next song. The crowd still hype Duke scoped the crowd making eye contact with the same girl from earlier. She had the same cup and still smiling. finally getting her attention she smiled giving him a thumbs up and mouthed " you're doing great" laughing he gestured her to come on the stage but she shook her head no with a slight smirk. surprised his eyes widened and he nodded his head.

"bitch did Duke just ask you to come on the stage and you said no, yousa dumb bitch" June laughed.

twelve a.m. finally came around the corner and so did Nala in her uniform for the night.

" ooo baby you wouldnt believe who is in your section" Vince cooed. Nala just smiled like she normally does.

"welcome to shock's i'm Nala and i'll be your girl for the night " she said  still looking down at here order booklet, she finally looked up and smiled only to see the rapper Duke smirking at her.

" well well" Bean laughed from the other couch.

the night grew darker and the club became more crowded Nala was running around the club with her head chopped off going from table to table. She finally had a small break walking to Duke's table with the hookah mouth piece in her mouth as the smoke came out her nose. Duke looked at her like she was a pair of fresh line up . He licked his lips as she slouched next to him.

"stop that your the only table I actually like" she huffed. Duke nodded and kept quite. Nala laughed as she watched Bean take shots to the head.

"take a picture with me" Duke said. Nala crossed her legs so the camera could see her good side and smirked while Duke did his own thing.

" this gone be the first of many for our scrapbook" he whispered, making her laugh a little.

"are you even taking the picture, drunk ass." Duke asked Bean.

"you know it." She said before blacking out.

" i don't know why you take your weak ass sister anywhere" the bodyguard huffed. Duke just shook his head and laughed.

" i'll see you later ma" he said in her ear giving her a kiss on the cheek.

nala headed to the locker room grinning from ear to ear. she laughed as Vince mimicked her.

" oo duke baby." they cooed

" what a slore"  June laughed.

the night grew darker and nala sat on the side of the stage watching her best friend dance giving her a
" yass hunny" from time to time.
