Clique II: Tyler, The Creator

2. Steam

"You're so fucking lucky," Crystal took a sip of her orange juice.

"For real. You're gonna get to know Frank on a personal ass level," Syd smiled.

"I know! I have all my shit packed for tomorrow. I don't think i've ever been more ready for anything."

I had met up with Crystal and Syd at our favorite coffee shop. I told them everything and of course, they were super supportive, as always.

"It's kind of weird how his tour starts the same day as Tyler's," Crystal took a bite of her food.

I rolled my eyes.

"Y'all always have to bring him into the picture."

"What? It's just a coincidence," Crystal redacted.

"Mhmm," I eyed her.

It was kind of weird. Tyler was the only one that knew Frank on a personal level, so I was praying he wouldn't stop by on one of Frank's shows.

We ate, talked a little bit more about random things and finally left.

"You better text us before you leave!" Syd called out as I got into my uber.

"Duh bitch! I always do."

...

I got home, it was already beginning to get dark. I could already feel the butterflies in my stomach. I've never been more excited for something this big in my career.

I placed the apartment keys on the desk, and heard the water running from the shower.

I grinned to myself, making my way over quietly.

"Salem? You home?" Reece asked as I began undressing.

"Yeah," I let my hair down, removing the makeup I'd worn today.

Reece reached out of the shower curtain, grabbing my arm as he brought me inside the shower with him.

I laughed uncontrollably as he kissed me, removing my wet bra, now dampened by the warm water.

"Fuck, it's not hot enough!" I moved past him, turning the small handle as the water began to steam.

"You're literally gonna burn our skin off. Is that what you're trying to do?" He smirked, looking down at me.

"You'll get used to it," I added more shampoo into my hair, turning around as Reece massaged my scalp.

I let myself relax as I closed my eyes. God, It felt so good as the steam surrounded us.

"So, about tomorrow," Reece began massaging his way down to my shoulders.

"Mhmm, what about it?"

"Salem. It's a month."

I opened my eyes sighing as I took over, letting the water wash out the shampoo.

"Only one month. It's not that long. It'll go by fast."

Reece seemed unfazed by my answer.

"What?" I asked again, grabbing my loofah.

"We've never been that far from each other for that long."

"And?"

"It's just a long time."

I smiled lightly, letting my hands fall around his neck. He looked defeated.

"Babe, it's okay. It's not like we won't be texting and calling each other all the time."

He nodded, placing a kiss on my nose.

"I'm so proud of you."

"I'm proud of you too! You're all booked and busy for the next few months. It'll fly by," I stated, caressing his curls.

Reece smiled, kissing me as he grabbed my hips, placing kissed down my chest.

"You want to?" He whispered into my ear.

"Definitely," I replied, biting my lip as he began feeling me up.
