"You want some more?" I asked Kai, as we sat at the table eating breakfast, while Lani was in the shower. I reached over, cutting her waffle, so she could easily pick it up piece by piece. "You had fun with mom-mom last night?" I asked Lay.
She nodded her head, "We watched finding dory, on a big big big Tv" she said, demonstrating how big the tv was with her arms.
"That movie is so boring Lay" I said laughing.
"Dory is not for daddies, that's why" she said, making a duh face. "Can we go swimming today?" Layla asked.
"You always wanna go swimming, but don't even swim at home in your own pool" I said, shaking my head laughing.
"Other pools are more fun" she said, laughing.
"So I paid all that money for a pool you not gonna use?"
"Mommy likes it more than me" she said. "And G too" she said, making me direct my attention over to G who was buried into his Ipad as always.
"Aye G" I called, but he didn't hear me, so Layla tapped him, making him look up. "You never put that thing down boy, eat your food"
"Okay" he responded, sitting it down on the table. He always did exactly whats told, he was such a good kid, which made it impossible to feel any way towards him due to the situation. Lay was a good kid too, she just was ohdee' spoiled, so sometimes you have to tell her things more than once. She was extra sensitive too, if you raised your voice just a little bit, she'd cry.
"We gonne have to wait till later to go swimming though booboo... I got to go to a interview" I said to Layla.
"What's an interview" she said, stuffing her face with waffles.
I chuckled, "When people ask me a bunch of questions"
"Questions.. like what?"
"About me, music, my family.. a lot of stuff"
"Do they ask questions about me?" she asked.
"All the time, everybody wanna know about lil Layla" I said, tickling her neck.
I looked up seeing Rell coming from in his room, looking like he was still half sleep. "Y'all got me something?" he asked.
"On the counter" I nodded towards the kitchen area.
"Came in the clutch, cause i'm starving" he said, rubbing his stomach walking towards the kitchen.
"Where you go last night?" I asked.
"Slid through this lil get together that Wayne daughter invited me to" he said, heating up his food.
I nodded my head and chuckled, "Been on Instagram yet?"
"Nah, i fell asleep without charging my phone so it's on the charger now" he said. "Why?"
"Imma let you see for yourself" I said, grabbing my phone off the table and opening instagram. I scrolled, finding the post on the shaderoom, of him hugging Wayne daughter. With a caption that read,
"Is rapper #DaveEast 's son creeping with #LilWayne 's daughter #ReginaeCarter ?? 🤔 Sources say he has a girlfriend, #Swipe to see a picture of them together... Looks like after his first co performance with #Daveeast yesterday, he wanted to dip into some industry 😸... Messy Messy. Unsure if we should be putting them on #BaeWatch or not, cause this too much"
The comment section was bananas, people tagging Breah's page, Reginae's page, Wayne's page, even my page. I had already gotten 3 calls about the shit this morning, I didn't even know what the hell he did or didn't do.
"I gotta call B" he said, sliding the phone back across the table, going back into his room. "It's going straight to voice mail" he said, walking back out with the phone up to his ear.
"You know what that mean" I said, shaking my head.
"I didn't do shit, I ain't touch that girl.. besides that hug" he said. "That stupid ass camera man, snapped that picture making it seem like some extra shit"
"Thats what they do.. trust me I know"
"Lemme see your phone" he said, as I slid the phone back across the table. I watched him copy her number into my phone, before putting it up to his ear. He held the phone there for a few minutes, i'm guessing hearing the dial tone. "She not answering" he said, dialing the number again, as Lani came walking out the room.
"I don't know, you'll have to ask him" Lani said, into the her phone, she held up against her ear.
"That's her?" Rell said hopping up. "Lemme see" he said basically snatching the phone outta Lani hands.
"This too much" she said sitting down across from me.
"B, listen...." Rell paused. "Just listen....I didn't.." he paused again. I could only imagine what was being said on the other end of the line, girls be so disrespectful when they're pissed. "Nothing happened, it was a party, damn near 30 other people in that room. I didn't do nothing with that girl Breah" he said, walking out the room with the phone.
"You believe him?" Lani asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders, "I ain't got him down for lying about it"
"I don't know, Pookie was flirting with that girl the whole time at the awards" she said.
"That be y'all problem, always doubting niggas" i shook my head. "At least give him the benefit of the doubt"
"Oh shut up.." she said laughing. "If you look like you cheating... nigga you cheating"
I chuckled, "Heard Ju... I had my fair share of those arguments" I said. "And every time, what was the end result.... me never cheating like I was accused of"
"Mhm, that's cause you know I would kill you" she paused. "You do know that right" she said giving me a face.
"I'm aware" I said laughing.
"Did you check to the album ratings?"
"Wayno checked them, 70 thousand streams since last night" I said, sipping my kool-aid.
"Told you.. releasing it after that big performance was a great idea"
I nodded my head, "You smart"
"Here" Rell said walking back in handing Lani her phone, and going back in the kitchen. Me and Lani just looked at each other, cause he came back like nothing happened.
"Everything okay?" Lani asked.
He shook his head, "She pissed.." he said. "I really ain't do nothing with that girl"
"You can't handle something like this over the phone bro, you gotta wait till we get back and go holla at her bout it"
"This crazy cause, the one time I really wasn't doing shit, I get caught" he said, sitting down with his food.
"You didn't talk to her last night or something?" Lani asked.
"She called me while I was there and I texted her telling her i was gonna call her back when I got home"
"That's where you fucked up at" I chimed in.
"Why not answer the phone, if you really weren't doing anything wrong" Lani said.
"Cause Reginae was sloppy drunk all over me, and I wasn't bouta answer and have Breah start tripping"
"So you think not answering was the right thing to do?" she asked.
"At the moment yeah" Rell said, eating some eggs. "If you call G on Facetime, and its a drunk girl hanging all on his neck, what you gone do.. and don't lie"
I directed my attention to Lani, since the tables were now turned on her. She chuckled, "We not talking about me right now"
"She'd have a fucking heart attack" I said. "But nah, I think answering the phone at that moment would've only made it worst, but once you seen her calling, you was supposed to to dip off and see what was up. You can't make her feel like she not a priority!"
"I ain't even think like that, I was thinking shooting her that text would do me justice"
"I wouldn't even sweat it, if you really ain't do nothing like you say, shit will work out" I said shrugging my shoulders, getting up from the table to sit my plate back on the room service cart.
"Aww my baby feelings really hurt about this" Lani said, pulling him in for a hug. "You in love Pookie?"
"I don't know La.. stop" he said, slightly smiling.
"Can't even keep a straight face, it's okay if you in love" she said laughing.
I looked down, seeing Kai pulling on the bottom of my sweat shorts, wanting me to pick her up. I bent down scooping her up, kissing her cheek. "You drawn" Rell said laughing, pushing himself away from Lani.
"But wait I got one question... " she paused, and moved closer to him. "Y'all be doing it?"
I busted out laughing, almost scaring Kai "Lani leave that man alone"
"I just wanna know if they being safe"
"On that note, I'm out" Rell said getting up.
"I'm just saying" Lani said shrugging her shoulders."I'll leave you alone.. for now" she said laughing. I shook my head and walked back into the room, to grab my t-shirt and pit my sneakers on so i could be on my way to my interview.

Ashley
"You ready?" Izzy asked me, as we sat in the car. We were at a photo shoot booking, my first one since the incident. I wasn't necessarily scared or afraid, it was the simple fact of being back in front of the camera, brought back flashbacks. Today I was shooting with someone i knew pretty well, so I knew there should be no reason for me to feel as nervous as I did. Not to mention, when I was booking this shoot I made sure it was a fully clothed one, just for my comfortability levels.
"Idk.." I said, looking over at the building.
"Ash, you good!" he reassured. "You know I gotchu"
I nodded my head, and paused for a second before, opening my door, and he did the same. "Let's do it" I said, grabbing my bag from the backseat.
"You sure you not gonna be nervous with me being there?" he asked, as we walked up to the building.
"Just don't look"
"Oh imma look..." he said laughing.
"Imma gonna have on clothes anyway" I said, as he held the door, letting me walk ahead of him.
"Girl ain't nobody worried bout that, don't nobody wanna see that stank butt" he said laughing. I just wanna see behind the scenes of your work" He said. "Cause the pics be coming out fire"
I smiled "Ain't nothing stank about this booty" I said, laughing.
"You sure, I think I smelled it the other day when you call yourself twerking" he said laughing, as I sat int he chair waiting for my photographer to come down.
I smacked his arm, laughing "Un uh, don't do that"
"I'm just fucking with you" he said, laughing. "Ya ass don't stank"
"I don't even know why you would play with me like that" I said laughing, as we sat down in the lobby waiting for my photographer to come down. I pulled out my phone, texting Jared, my photographer, telling him I was here.
"My sister's are having a cookout today, you wanna slide through that after this?" he asked.
I made a face, "You want me to go around your sisters?"
"Why not?" He said. "We cooling, they chill asf.. I don't see the issue"
"I just feel like, meeting family is girlfriend shit... and we're just friends"
"I take my friends to meet my family, it ain't that deep.." he said, shrugging his shoulders. "My sisters not even on no goofy shit, they cool. They just got they're little house together so they wanna celebrate thats all"
"I guess we can go.." I said, as my Jared stepped off the elevator. "But don't let your sister interrogate me" I said laughing.
"Hey girl, it's been forever" Jared said, hugging me. "Bitch is that your man?" he semi whispered, cutting his eyes over at Izzy, who was now doing something on his phone.
I chuckled, "That's my friend"
"Like friend, friend or frienddddd" he said, emphasizing the last friend.
"No we're really just friends" I said. "Izzy say hi" I said, grabbing his arm, pulling him into the conversation.
"Wassgood with you" he said, holding his hand out to dap Jared.
"Oh I don't do that... you see these nails" he said, slightly patting Izzy's hand making me burst out laughing. "Let's go, so we can get these pictures bitch" he said, turning walking towards the elevator.
"What the hell did you get me into" Izzy whispered as we followed behind Jared.
"You just gotta get used to him" I said, laughing.
"This hair is gonna give me everything I need it to give bitch, I love it" Jared said running his fingers through my hair, as the elevator moved up through the floors.
"Thanks bitch, what your crazy ass about to have me doing today"
"Well I wanted you to show off that banging ass bawdy but since you on your conservative shit, I just want you to work that hair" He said, as we stepped off the elevator, into his shoot studio.
"You done changed it around in here, got it looking like a rich bitch studio" I said, laughing, sitting my bag down.
"You know, a bitch been getting to some coins" he said, talking with his hands. "You ass would've known but you don't ever call"
"I know, I been busy.. getting through graduation and shit"
"Oh yeah, I saw that.. ain't nothing like a bad bitch with a degree" Jared said, sticking his tongue out. "Ain't that right Mr. light eyes" he said, talking to Izzy.
Izzy looked up from his phone, acting like he was confused as to what was goin on. "Leave him alone J" I said, laughing.
"Look at you miss thang, protecting your man" he said, laughing as his makeup artist came over directing me to the chair. "I ain't even mad at you, where you find this fine ass man at?"
I chuckled, "That is not my man, we're just friends" I said shaking my head.
"Mhm" he said, making a face. "You gone head and your makeup done so we can get this thing started"
It took about 45 minutes for the girl to finish my makeup and for me to change into the photoshoot clothes. "Tilt your head to the side for me boo" Jared said, as he continually snapped pictures. "Workkkkk bitch"
"Jared, shut uppp" i said, laughing.
"Do that laugh again" he said semi yelled in excitement. "You are giving me life, snatching all these edges, and leaving no extras.. Okay"
I chuckled , "You get on my nerves, I can't with you" I said.
I looked over seeing Izzy, staring dead in my face from the side of the room. I couldn't tell whether he was lusting or admiring, his eyes just were planted on me as he sipped his water. I cracked a smile trying to hold back a blush.
"Bitch you sure that's not your man?" Jared said, catching attention. "Y'all sure can't keep y'all eyes off each other"
"FRIENDS" I yelled over the music, making Jared shrug his shoulders laughing.
"If you say so.."
.......
"You good" Izzy reassured me, as was approached his sister's house. He reached, opening the door, letting me in and the coming in behind me. We walked into the house, walking into a group of girls who were taking and dancing in the living room. "Wassgood y'all" Izzy spoke, as I just gave a friendly smile.
"Hey Izzy" A few of the girls said, as the other waved.
"Come on" He said, as I followed behind him through the house. "Wassup" Izzy spoke again to another group of people in the kitchen, and dapped a two of the guys. "Where Isabella and Imani at?"
"Mani outside, and I think Bella went to the store" One of the girls answered.
He nodded and we made our way out back, "Heyyy big brotherrrr" One of the girls, I'm guessing was his sister came running over hugging him.
"Get you lil drunk ass off me" he said, laughing. "Nah, wassgood with you lil sis"
"Where you been, I been missing you.. with you hollywood ass" she said.
"Been busy, you don't wanna hang out with me nomore, you too worried bout following that bum ass nigga around"
"Don't do that that" she said, laughing. "Looks like you been busy yourself" she said, directing her attention to me. "My brother is so rude, how you doing" she said, sticking her hand out to shake mine. "This your girlfriend Izzy?"
He cut his eyes over at me, cracking a smile "Nah, this my homie"
His sister made a face, "Yeah right" she said, laughing. "Well anyway homie, i'm Imani" she said to me.
I chuckled, "i'm Ashley, nice to meet you"
"What store Bella went to?" I asked.
"7 eleven"
"For what, y'all could've just asked me to stop and get it" he said.
"Nigga we ain't know you was really coming, with yo ole busy ass" she said. "Plus you know what she went for, she not gonna ask you to get those"
"Lemme guess, some backwoods?" he asked, and his sister nodded. "She get on my nerves with that smoking shit, that shit ain't cute, she letting these niggas influence her to think it's cool"
"Hello to you too, Israel" His other sister said walking up behind us. "You always talking shit.. just annoying"
"Bella don't start that shit" He said.
"You don't start your shit, why I gotta walk up and hear you talking shit about me and what I do"
"Ain't nobody talking shit, you my lil sister, I question anything I please" He said. "You already know how that go"
"Whatever" she said, rolling her eyes. "Who's this?" she asked.
"This my friend Ashley, Ashley this my sister Bella" Izzy said, as I sent a friendly smirk her way since she didn't look like she was up for any other type of greeting.
"Friend?" she repeated in a sarcastic tone. "Since when you got friends that are girls, that you ain't smashing"
"Since now" Izzy said. "Shut up"
"Right.." she said, giving a fake smile.
"Stop acting like that" He said, pulling her in for a hug. "And gimme these" he said, snatching the bag of backwoods out her hands.
"Izzy I really don't got time for this, what you come here for, just to fuck with me"
"You asked me to slide through and i'm here, so wassup" Izzy said, laughing.
"I'm just trynna mind my business and smoke"
"Oh so now you a fein" he said.
"You get on my nerves" she said, trying to snatch the bag back. "Mani, why wouldn't you tell me he was here already, I wouldn't even have came in here with them"
"Bitch don't blame me, he just got here" Mani said, throwing her hands up in defense.
"Now i'd be wrong if I flush these bitches down the toilet" Izzy said, opening the pack.
"You always come around here trynna be somebody daddy, when you don't even come see us"
"Aye Bella don't show off for these people"
"Can I just have my stuff, I don't know why you always bother me, like you don't smoke" she said, folding her arms.
"Imma grown ass man" he paused. "You my little sister, I will never be here for this bs"
"Izzy, i'm not a kid" she said. "I'm 20 years old, it's not that deep"
"You heard me" he said, pushing past her, back into the house, leaving me standing there between both of his sisters.
Bella, cut her eyes over at me before turning to walk away "He get the fuck on my nerves, I swear.. "
"They always do this, don't pay them any mind" Mani said, guiding me over to a seat next to her. "Oh and Bella isn't always like that, she only gets like that over Israel" she said shrugging her shoulders. "I mean don't get me wrong she can be a bitch, which we all can, but since our momma died a few years ago those two argue nonstop"
I nodded my head, "How old are you, you seem so mature"
"I just turned 18 last week, how bout you?"
"22" I answered. "Izzy told me y'all just moved here, how you liking living on your own?"
"Well it's not really much of a difference from the past few years, just a nicer house" she said. "Izzy bought this for us, cause my mommas old house was run down.. But me and Bella were already there together anyway"
"Makes sense" I said, nodding my head. I sat there wondering why Izzy never told me about his mom, maybe because it never came up. But I did recall talking about our families from time to time, and he never mentioned nothing about his mom.
"You live here in NY?" she asked me.
"Yeah, not too far from here actually"
She nodded her head, "So that means you're not broke... good" she said, laughing.
I chuckled, "I ain't rich either"
"Gotta be close to it, if I had to pay to live here myself.. i'd be evicted tomorrow" she said. "What kind of job do you have?"
"I'm a model"
"Like an Instagram model or a model forreal" she asked, making me laugh.
"A model forreal"
"You got some pictures?" she asked.
"Yeah.." i said, pulling out my phone going to my pictures. "This is one from today's shoot"
"Girl you look bomb" she said, as I scrolled though looking for some other ones. "Wait was that who I thought it was?"
"Who?"
"Right there, I love her.. I follow her on Instagram" she said, pointing out a picture with Lani in it. "I knew I kinda recognized you, you're like one of her best friends right?"
"Yeah, that's my bitch" I said.
"I been following her on instagram for sooo long, like when she was still @TraveltoMilan, even way before she got with East" she said. "She's always be bomb though"
"Oh so you a day 1" I said laughing.
"Am I?" She asked rhetorically. "I knew Izzy knew them, but I never wanted to seem joe, and I wasn't sure how she acted in person"
"Lani's cool as hell, you should've told him to bring you over" I said. "I'm gonna face time her real quick" I said, tapping the phone icon at the bottom of the screen, searching for Lani's name.
"Omg, I don't wanna seem like a groupie" she said, as the facetime call began ringing.
"Girl you're fine, you're Izzy's sister, they love Izzy" I said, as the call connected. "La, what you doing?"
"Nothing waiting for G to wake up from this nap so we can go to eat" she said. "Where you at, a party bitch"
"No.. listen, I went with Izzy to his sister's house, turns out she like really loves you, she said she been following you in Instagram for years now"
"Really, why Izzy didn't bring her over yet" Lani asked.
"She said she ain't wanna seem joe" I said, making a face.
"Girl byee, lemme talk to her" she said, as I turned the phone in Mani's direction. "Ouu you cute, hey girl" Lani said.
"Heyyy" she said, nervously. "I'm so hype right now girl, you don't even know how many of your makeup tutorials I done followed.. it's crazy to even talk to you"
"Aww, girl I'm so regular degular.. don't be like that, and you Izzy lil sister, you like family" Lani said. "Imma hurt him for never bringing you over"
"I never asked, I know y'all be needed your privacy, and I'm definitely a fan, that wanna record everything" she said laughing.
Lani chuckled, "We record everything already, get in where you fit in" she said. "Im gonna make it my business to meet you when I come back home"
"Okay" Mani said, smiling. It was so cute to see someone fan girling Milan like this. I don't even think she knew the type of impact she had on younger girls that follow her. Luckily she did set a great example, by even though having a boyfriend who's filthy rich, she still made sure to secure her own bag. She had a degree and her own business, to fall back on, and thats the type of motivation younger girls needed now a days, shit it was the motivation I needed.
"Where the kids?" I asked, turning the phone back to me.
"With momma, she too them to the Ice cream museum" she said."But bitch, you meeting family and shit.." she semi whispered.
I chuckled, "It's not even like that, don't spice it"
"Bitch i'm just saying, I remember what meeting the family was like" she said. "Thats like the icing on the cake, after that y'all just boyfriend and girlfriend"
"Can you stop.." I asked laughing. "You know Izzy is just my friend."
"I don't know shit" she said, laughing.
"Byeee Lani" I said laughing before hanging up the phone.
"So what's the tea, are you and my brother really friends?" Mani asked me.
"We're really just friends, that's all"
"My brother ain't never been just friends with no girl before, especially not one he brought to meet us" she said. "So y'all ain't never kiss or nothing?" she asked and I cracked a smile. "Never mind, you don't even gotta answer that"
"What what happened" I asked laughing.
"You smiling too hard when I'm asking you questions about him.. y'all might be friends now, but not forever" she said raising her eyebrows.
"We're just really good friends, I promise"
"Friends that like each other" she retorted back to me.
I chuckled, looking up seeing Izzy coming back from in the house. "What y'all rapping about" he asked.
"Ohh nothing.." she said, getting up walking off.
Izzy made a face, "What she was doing?"
"Nothing, we were just talking.."
"About what?" he asked.
"None of your business, you weren't out here so you missed it"
"Heard you" he said. "Now don't ask me to kill a bug when you're scared"
"What does that have to do with this, you are so petty" I said, laughing.
He shrugged his shoulders, "It is what it is"
I playfully rolled my eyes, "Is your other sister okay?" i asked.
"Bella? She aight, she just like to argue with me, don't worry bout it" he said. "She just a brat"
I nodded my head, "I think all sisters are like that with their brother"
"I don't know, but she need to get it together"
We stayed at his sisters for about another hour in a half, before he dropped my off at Chy's new place, while he went to the studio. She called me and asked me if I wanted to spend the night, to break her new house in. Me and her, just drank wine and watch a few movies, enjoying this nice little Sunday. It was boring with out the rest of the crew here, so there wasn't really anything else to do.
There were multiple times throughout the time I wasn't with Izzy, that I thought about what he was doing. Even though we texted almost the entire time, I just had gotten so used to being around him. Although I knew there was definitely something between us, I just wanted us to stay friends for as long as possible, we didn't need a rushed relationship ruining this friendly bond we had.
