The next morning I woke up around 9:30 AM with 67 missed calls.. The room was spinning so I took two aspirin and kept it moving..

Half of the calls I got were from Candice and Hunter the other calls were from my agent and Julius.. I called back Candice first..

"Bout time you woke up! I hope you were sleep like that because you got some good dick!"

"Right cause that's what she needs hell!"

I heard what sounded like Hunter in the background...

"First of all GOOD MORNING to you too Candii... Second of all is that Hunter back there I hear?"

"Yup and we in the lobby, so get dressed and come on we taking you out to eat.."

"Ight! I'm getting ready now just let me call my agent right quick.."

"Awe tell Leslie to shove it where the sun doesn't shine! You're on vacation for crying out loud! Can't you just stop working for once?"

Hunter said in the background...

"Alright, Alright! I'm on my way DANG!"

I hopped in the shower and got myself together than looked at myself in the mirror.. It feels so good to be me! I was proud of each curve! Some would call it cocky.. My ego was massive I admit but it had to be! I'm being sexy and confident for all my women who are ashamed of their beautiful bodies that God gave them..

After I got done brushing my teeth and all the essentials that come with that I lotioned up and got dressed..

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

I walked out into the lobby and seen Candice and Hunter sitting down on her lap..

"So you two besties now?"

They both turned around...

"Took you long enough!"

Candice said as Hunter stud up and Candice smacked her butt..

"Um So y'all not going to explain this whole little situation.."

I said pointing back and fourth from Candice to Hunter..

"We'll talk at brunch! Now come on I'm hungry SHIT!"

Hunter said walking towards the door..

Candice grabbed my arm as we walked with Hunter..

"Hey Reign"

A familiar voice called from behind me..

We all turned around..

"Oh hey Brandon what's up? I thought you'd be off by now!"

"I'm working a double shift for a coworker.. Where you headed?"

"Out with my girls to eat.. This my ace Candice.."

Candice pushed me out the way and walked up to him..

"Ohh But you can call my Candii baby DAMN!"

I laughed and he smiled..

"And this is my other honey dip Hunter.."

She brushed past me and stud on the other side of him..

"But you can call me Little Caesars, cause I'm Hot-N-Ready! Damn where'd you come from? Reign you know him and been hiding him?"

"I mean I just met him last night thirsty squad!"

"Girl he is FIIONE! I'll be thirsty all damn day.. Baby you ever been to Martha's Vineyard?"

Hunter said pulling out her black card..

"Yeah you ever been on a cruise to the Bahamas? Or took a trip to Montego Bay?"

Candice said rubbing his arm..

"If y'all don't get y'all asses back over here NOW! And Candice, August will whoop yo ass so don't even.."

They both walked back over my way pouting..

"My bad Brandon.."

"They cool.. Y'all funny I like that about a woman.. Humor.."

He said smiling as they melted..

"Oh baby listen I was dead serious I can get you whatever you like.."

Hunter said as Reign interrupted her..

"Say bye to Brandon girls.."

The both held their heads low..

"BYEEE BRANDON.."

"Bye ladies.. And I'll see you later Reign..."

I smiled walking them out the door..

"Damn he could see me later!"

Hunter said touching herself as we got in the back of her drivers limo....

"Okay!! he can see me, touch me, whip me! Whatever he likes.."

Candice said grinding in the seats..

I laughed looking out the window..

"Y'all are so damn thirsty!!"

"So what bitch! Maybe if you were thirsty you could get a drink of that dick! He was totally hitting on you.."

Hunter said pouring her a glass of champagne and passing it to Candice..

"Agreed!"

Candice said pouring her a glass..

"I guess so.. Anyways have any of you two heard from Sherry..?"

"Girl I don't even know why you asked that.. You know when her and Herbo get back together she goes M.I.A.. we won't be hearing from her until their next argument.. Which will be in like three days if they Last that long.."

Hunter said shaking her head sipping her champagne...

"Right she probably went back with that nigga to Chicago.."

Candice said checking her phone..

"I should've known.. Where we eating?"

"It's a surprise!"

Hunter said..

Just Incase you haven't noticed Hunter is rich as hell! Her parents own Falling Stars record label.. But if you met her you wouldn't even know because she's so down to earth.. that's what I love about her..

"Candii who are you texting? August again!"

Hunter said taking her phone..

"He was just checking on me.."

Candice said looking away..

"Damn he can't fucking breath without you.. You only been gone a day in a half.."

"It's just that he's going through a lot that's all.. He just be needing to talk to me sometimes.."

"Fuck that! Y'alls relationship is unhealthy.. He is draining you, and you act like you disobey him when you don't answer.. He's a grown ass man! You should be able to enjoy a little time away with your girls.."

Hunter said rolling her eyes..

"Girl I been telling her that since they first met.. I gave up on it.. And what made you two become so close anyway!?"

"Getting drunk and realizing that we have more in common then we think.."

Hunter said winking at Candice..

"Yeah we kicked it hard, that's my girl.. My little pumpkin spice"

"Yes and your my mocha Latté!"

Hunter said tapping her shoulder..

"Alright, Alright knock it off!

That shit is cringy as fuck!"

I said watching them both..

The limo stopped and Hunters driver Jorge opened the door for us..

"Ladies we have arrived.."

Jorge said helping us all out..

"Thanks J call you when we're done.. take the card a go relax.."

Hunter said handing him her platinum card and some cash..

He bowed and drove off..

"What is this place girl?"

I asked looking around I could tell we weren't too far from the hood..

"This is 'Philly Cheese Everywhere' I heard about this place through Sherry! She says her and Herb come here all the time and the food is THE SHIT! Let's go.."

Hunter said pulling us in...

I woke up and looked around my hotel room.. I couldn't believe I had three more days to myself of downtime. I was gonna make the most of it.. I checked my phone and I had all three missed calls from Jamillia and 27 text messages..

I blocked her number and hopped in the shower..

After I was done I sat on the bed thinking what I was gonna get into today..

My phone went off and it was my boy Jussie..

"What's the word?"

"Nothing much I'm in your neck of the woods tryna see if you down for breakfast or something?"

"Yeah let's do it.. I'm getting ready now.. meet me at 'Philly Cheese Everywhere'..."

"That's my spot! Ight I'll see you in like 30.."

Jussie said

After we hung up I got dressed and headed to the restaurant..

Visual of Bryshere

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾:

When I got there I was surprised it wasn't packed, it's usually full to the max.. Jussie was already at the table waiting on me..

We dabbed each other up..

"Damn man took you forever to get here.. Pretty Boy!"

Jussie said sitting back down..

"Ahh you got jokes.. Nah it was traffic and shit getting here.."

I said laughing even though I did change three times..

"Yeah traffic my ass I'm surprised you came.. You got down time and Jamillia let you off the leash.."

"Pssh more like I left her off COMPLETELY.."

"Damn what happened?"

"Turns out she was just using me to get to me and my parents for our paper.."

"You don't say.."

He said laughing sarcastically..

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Come on you not that naïve.. was the sex that good you couldn't see that?"

"Yeah I guess.. I'm ready to eat where is our.."

"Too late, I already ordered for you.."

After we ate and had a couple of drinks we talked for a little minute..

"So what you doing tonight Yazzy Yazz.. you know Taraji wants us to come to this little thing she's having at her pint house.."

"All the way in New York? Is it that time of year already?"

I asked with my eyebrows raised..

"Yeah why you so shocked.. Wait hold that thought, I think I see someone I know.. Is that Reign?"

He said standing up walking away from me..

"Reign?"

I said turning around seeing him walk up to a table of women..

Me, Candice and Hunter were just sitting down chilling and talking after we ordered our drinks...

"So what made y'all want to take me out to eat?"

I asked as our waitress handed us our drinks..

"We'll all have your Philly Cheese steak works platter please.. I heard it was to die for.."

Hunter said to or waitress..

"Good choice! It's one of our popular dishes.. it'll be right out.."

Our waitress said walking away..

"We brought you here because we feel bad about how our girls night, turned out.."

Hunter said giving me the pouty face..

"Yeah it was supposed to be all of us turning up together.."

Candice said giving me the puppy face..

"Yeah it was! I was a little irritated at first! But I'm happy that you two are getting along.."

I smiled..

"Sooo I ran into Julius last night TWICE!"

"Whaaat!"

They both said in unison..

"What the fuck his trifling ass want?"

Candice said downing her drink..

"Long story short he 'misses me' and wanted to 'take me out' but the nigga has a whole ass girlfriend and was still ashamed to admit who I was..."

I said in disgust sipping my drink..

"Another instagram looking hoe?"

Candice said shaking her head..

"EXACTLY! That part.. But he was looking good I ain't even gone front..."

"Don't even go there.. You still not over him!"

Hunter said..

"That's that light skinned affect.. it'll do it to you every time!"

Candice said eyeing me..

I cracked up laughing..

"Bitch you stupid shut up.. All I'm saying is he looked real snacky snackish, that's all.. I'm not tryna even go back down that road ever again! That's dead.."

"Mmhhmm we'll see.."

Hunter and Candice said in unison...

"Reign is that you?"

I looked up it and it was Jussie Smollet...

"Oh my gosh what are you doing here!?"

I said standing up hugging him..

"I was meeting up with my boy Yazz I haven't seen you in forever how you been? You look so good as usual!"

"Thanks so do you! I've been cool.."

"I hope you dropped that zero Julius.."

"Yeah he's long gone.."

Candice and Hunter cleared their throats..

I laughed..

"My bad Jussie these are my best friends the thirsty squad.."

He laughed

"What's good squad!"

He said shaking both their hands..

"Oh my goodness! Your Jussie Smollet.. I love you.. I seen your interview with GQ magazine.. Your personality is so dope.. and you sexy as hell!"

Hunter said winking at him..

"Thanks I appreciate the love.. Let me introduce y'all to my boy.."

"I believe I met you all last night at club Oceans.. I wouldn't forget any of your beautiful faces.. Especially you Misses Reign.."

I nodded nervously and sat back down.. he kept his eye on me burning right through my soul..

"How do y'all know each other?"

Bryshere asked Jussie as I looked up at him out the corner of my eye..

He looked over at me licking his lip unknowingly being sexy and I smiled looking away..

"Shit we go way back right Reign.."

"Yeah we met in acting class back when I thought I wanted to be an actor.."

I said smiling taking a sip of my drink..

"Oh word.. Hey I just thought of something, Taraji my second moms is having a party tonight in New York City at her pint house y'all should come thru, right Jussie.."

Bryshere said nudging him..

"Oh yeah! She would love to meet you guys, y'all should slide through.."

Candice looked up from her phone..

"I would love to but I gotta get back to my boyfriend.."

Me and Hunter rolled our eyes..

"Yeah and I gotta go check out these properties I'm buying in Utah I got a flight out at 3.. But thanks for the invite it sounds like it's lit.."

Bryshere looked over at me..

"What about you Reign?"

"Yeah you should go you not doing nothing anyways you're on vacation remember!"

Candice said loud..

"I can't I don't even know how I would.."

"No! Your going and I'm not taking no for an answer!"

Jussie said massaging my shoulders..

"Yeah you gotta come it's gonna be a good time.. I'll have my driver come pick you up and you can get in the helicopter with me and Jussie.. You ever been in one before?"

"No..."

I said trying to avoid eye contact..

He laughed with his little side smirk..

"Well than it's settled I'll send my driver to come swoop you up around 7:30.."

He dabbed up Jussie and bowed to our table..

"Ladies it was nice to meet you again.. I'll catch you later Juss and Misses Reign.."

He said winking at me as he left out..

"Jussie I don't even know what to wear.."

I said pulling him to the side..

"Don't worry about it, wear what you want Taraji isn't like that.. It's all good vibes.. You still got that same number?"

I nodded looking frustrated..

"Okay so I'll call you later to make sure that you're getting ready.. What hotel are you staying at so I can give it to the driver for Yazz.."

"High Waters Suites.."

"The one downtown?"

He asked smiling as I nodded..

"Damn that's fancy! I see your journalism checks coming in real smooth.. Okay I'll let him know.. And don't worry, you're usually down for whatever and extra confident.. Why you so nervous?.."

"I'm not nervous!"

"Mmhhmm.. It's Yazz ain't it! You like him?"

"What! I don't even know him!"

"Yeah Okay.. I can tell he likes you too.. I guess.. Look just be ready, we'll kick it and get lit just like old times! You down.."

"Yeah I'm down.. I'll be ready.."

He laughed..

"Ight we'll see.. I'll hit you.."

He said kissing my cheeks walking off waving at Hunter and Candice..

"It was nice to meet you guys.."

I came back to the table our food was there so I began to eat.. I could feel them both starring at me..

I looked up..

"WHAT!"

"Bitch don't even try it.. We seen Bryshere looking at you like a future victim..."

Candice said taking a bite of her food..

"Yes girl he was all in yo shit! Looking like he wanted to lay you out to on the table.. I think he has a crush on you!"

Hunter said smiling at me..

"Please he was just being nice!"

"Being nice and looking at those big ass titties and thighs of yours like breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert are two different things! That man wants you I can tell.."

Hunter said pointing her fork at me..

"Yup So go have a good time, get some dick and throw that ass back! OKAY!"

Candice said snapping at me...

I laughed..

"Just shut up and eat your food.."
