I wouldn't trade anything I do.

I love being an actor, and I love that I'm able to do more with my music now..

It's different going out now, no matter where I'm at or what time it is, fans want a autograph or a picture..

And I'm happy to give it to them..

I still haven't gotten use to that..

But sometimes, just sometimes I want to have some me time.. Just one more day with Reign would have been perfect..

it wouldn't have been enough, but at least one more day is one more day..

As soon as I got to LA, Charlie put me to work..

I had 4 radio interviews, a Get to know me Fan meet and greet..

And I met up with Vibe magazine for a photo shoot / interview..

"So Mr. Bryshere Gray!"

"Yeah!"

I said pulling out my energy and being my usual hype self..

"Yazz! Also know as Hakeem got a thing for the ladies.."

I laughed..

"Yeah you already, the ladies got a thing for Hakeem.. How you doing Lisa?"

I said giving her a hug..

"Much better I haven't interviewed you since what the first season..."

"Yup the first season of Empire.. I was nervous than and I'm nervous now.."

"Oh hush.. I can't tell, you wear that confidence really well.. But you're always so sweet, and humble.."

"Thank you, my mom would kill me if I was anything less than a gentleman.."

"I know that's right, get him Mom! Okay and you been working.. I see you! Canal street poppin' off with Woody McClain and speaking of Woody you were all apart of the amazing 3 night event. The New Edition movie! How was that, playing Mike B! That's my boy.."

"That was such a blessing.. We had a good time, I'm glad we got to tell their story man.. Shout out to Mike and everyone else man..."

"Yes you did an amazing job.. You had the voice dead on and everything..."

"Thank you Lisa.. What's this you wearing? I'm digging this outfit.. I see you got cha Fenty Beauty going on, looking all fly.. Shout out to RiRi!"

"Yes Shoutout to Ri! By the way this is a new clothing line I'm coming out with for the curvy girls, gotta represent! It's about time we be out here stunting, and slaying! You feel me..."

"I feel you Lisa. Shout out to all the beautiful thick women, curvy, plump, juicy.. Whatever you are be confident in you man.. Y'all all beautiful don't forget that.."

"See what I mean he's such a sweetie pie.. And also a FLIRT! My little cousins and everyone I know were like,

yo I know you interviewing him so ask him is he single yet? So I have to ask, what's up with you and Jamillia?"

I looked over at my manager and he nodded..

"What's that whole thing? ...why you look at Charlie.. Charlie stay out our business.."

Charlie laughed putting up his hands and stepping back..

"Nah its just you know I gotta confirm things sometimes.. Manager & publicist tell me what's a good move and what ain't.."

"Mmhhmm.. So what's up.."

"Well me and Jamillia decided to take a break.. But I wish nothing but the best and many blessings.. I hope she can find all she's looking for.. So long story short I'm single right now but I'm chillin'.. You know focused on my craft.."

"You heard it hear first with Vibe ladies.. When can we be expecting some music from you Yazz?"

"Soon! Real soon, I'm headed to the studio now.. I been grinding since I touched down in LA.. So it don't stop.. If you don't follow me already go ahead and do that at YazzTheGreatest on all social media's.. I always try to keep my fans as up to date as much as I can"

"Well thanks for coming through and letting us take some dope pics of you.. Sitting down conversing with us little people on your personal life and giving us long overdo interview.. Hopefully it won't be 3 years I talk to you again.. I know you're a busy young man.."

I laughed..

"Ahh there you go.. You know if you need a photo shoot or an interview I got you! Don't do that Lisa.. Even if I'm busy I make time for you girl.."

"Uh Oh! There he go.. it's always such a pleasure to sit here with you Mr. Gray! You're such a delight to have.."

"Thank you Lisa.."

Charlie came up..

"We gotta go..."

He whispered in my ear..

I stud up giving Lisa a hug and saying goodbye..

We got in the Suburban..

"So why the rush, I thought you said this was it for today.. You know I'm tryna get back in the studio.."

"I know, I know but I got some important people who wanna meet up with you and have another photo shoot.."

"Who this time?"

"Nike.."

"NIKE! Oh shit, why me?"

"They thinking of getting you a shoe deal, so if you play your cards right it'll be a win.."

"Why they wanna meet with me, I ain't no ball player.."

"Cause I got the juice to get you in the door that's why! You don't sound excited though man.. This what we been working at.."

"I know, I know.. and I'm grateful Charlie! Believe me.."

I said looking out the window..

"Good.."

"So did she call?"

"Huh? Did who call?"

"Reign, did she call?"

He sighed shaking his head and pulling out my phone handing it to me..

"No not yet but you can check for yourself.."

I sighed looking back out the window..

"I bet it's cause I dipped on her.. She probably don't want to deal with all this Hollywood shit.. she's way too real for this.."

I said looking at my text making sure she didn't send one..

"Look Yazz.. Your best bet is to stay focused on this hustle.. Didn't you just get out of a relationship with Jamillia.. Just focus on your career.. If she can't adapt to your lifestyle oh well.. all these women out here you get to see.. move on.."

"Charlie I appreciate you as my manager and all you do for me.. But let me handle my personal life, I already did you a favor coming out here early.. since when do you start booking gigs without my say so anyhow.."

"A favor!"

"Yeah a favor! I told you, don't hit me with no work shit until after that four day mark.. That's all I needed.. That's all you care about is a dollar..."

"What! I'm doing this so you can be at the top, where you wanna be! This is my job to make sure you stay on track.. This ain't got nothing to do with no damn money.. where your head at lately man?.. do you want this or not?.."

We pulled up to the Nike corporate building..

I sighed..

"after this interview, it's a wrap for today Charlie!"

"Okay, Okay.. Cool.. let's just go kill it.. get these deals in and I promise you'll have a month to yourself before you have to start shooting for Empire again.."

"You foreal this time?"

"30 Days brother!"

"Even if the month has 28 Days?"

I said squinting at him..

"30 full days my brother, you got it!"

I sighed.. I put on shades and got myself together for this Nike interview..

"Ight well what we waiting on let's go kill this shit!"

"That's what I'm talking about, Let's go!"

He said patting my back pumping me up...

After my meeting with Nike I was in a better mood.. they offered me a three style shoe deal with a 20 million dollar sign on bonus and 40 percent of profits with the sales..

"Man this is big Bry! I'm proud of you man.. THREE STYLES! And 20 million to sign on you hit the lotto!"

"Nah we hit the lotto man.. this happened all because you believed in me.. You have since day one! But I still want Stokes to go over the contract before I sign it!"

"Of course! I'll have Stokes look at it first thing Monday morning.. And I always will have your back.. let's celebrate.. we gotta go out man.."

"Nah I'm cool I just wanna go back to my hotel and relax.."

"Come on man this ain't you!"

"Charlie! I'm serious man!"

"Ight, Okay! Go relax and get whatever you need.."

I nodded.. Reign still hadn't called or text me.. The worst things were going through my head.. when I finally got up to the hotel I put my phone in the charger and hopped in the shower..

After I got out and settled in and checked my phone..

I had a text and call from everybody except for who I wanted, Reign..

I sat on the bed..

Maybe Jussie knows something..

I hit him up..

"Yazzy YAZZ!

What's going on!?"

"Ain't shit out here in LA, working.. You know me!"

"Right I just left an interview here in Atlanta.."

"Oh word you in the A?"

"Yup! So what's up, cause you never randomly call me.."

"Yeah I do, what you mean.."

"Uh! Who you talking to? No the fuck you don't! I usually have to call you negro.."

"I don't know what you getting at I was just calling to check on the homie.."

"Yeah Okay.. so what you really want Bry?"

I huffed..

"Have you talked to Reign?"

"Reign!? Uuuh.. no. Not since the morning after the party.. Why?? What's up? Wait a minute, what did y'all do?"

"What, I'm just a concerned friend making sure she is safe and sound..."

He bust out laughing..

"Safe and sound my ass! You really do like her I could tell from the day at the restaurant.."

"Yeah I like her and so what I can't check on her.."

"I mean you can but why you calling me, call her.."

"I can't.. She was supposed to call me man.."

"Awwee.. You nervous aren't you?"

I stayed quiet..

"Look Reign is not like any girl you usually deal with Bry.. She's a good girl, she's real.. She's got substance and self value.. She's..."

"Amazing! She's really amazing I know.."

"Yeah and she's also a really good friend of mine so you can't go fucking with her emotions and shit.. She's been through a lot and deserves the best.."

"You're right she does.. and I would never hurt her Jus.. I just wanna talk to her.."

"So y'all haven't spoken since the Helicopter ride back.."

"No we talked since then Alright.."

"Ah shiit!! What did y'all do?"

"I'll tell you but you can't say SHIT!"

"Who Ima Tell?"

"Everybody! That's all you and Taraji do is gossip.."

"Whatever just tell me what happened.."

"Alright well I asked her did she wanna come over my place and chill.."

"Wait.. Your place?.. meaning the crib you purchased last year.."

"Yeah man.. she agreed and she came through.. we had a great time too.. we got to know each other some more and she spent the night.."

"Mmhhmm so how was the sex?"

"What!? You trippin Juss.."

"Nigga quit playing.. She blessed you with them golden hills didn't she.."

"Yeah man.. and it was the best thing I ever experienced in my life! She got my head all fucked up Juss.. I been checking my phone all through the day and shit.. I even got into it with Charlie.."

"Damn.. She put it down huh?"

"It's not even about the sex man.. It's her mental.. I'm drawn to her.. Her personality drives me crazy.. I can't get enough of her.. It's like she had this.."

"Confidence through the roof and she's mad funny.."

"Yeah man.. How'd you know I was gonna say that?"

He laughed..

"Why you think we friends.. that's my girl.. that's why me and her clicked in the first place.. She just has that thing in her.."

"Yeah I feel it.. Look man I need you to do me a favor.. I told her to call me as soon as she get on the road and I still haven't heard from her.. can you just call and see what's up and call me back.. But don't tell her I told you to call.."

"Why can't you call her yourself.."

"Come on Juss, please.. I barley be knowing what to say.. before she left I told her I had 'Fun' man, I'm hopeless.."

"Aww Damn! That's tragic.."

"See that's why I need you.."

"Alright I'll see what I can do for you.."

"You WILL?"

"Yeah I guess.."

"Ight man I appreciate it don't forget to call me afterwards.."

"I got you.."
