" Baby Jacques ! " Zephyr exclaimed as she jumped on Jacques back. Letting out a groan Jacques braced himself and tucked his hands under Zephyr's legs holding her steady.

" Damn Z, what the fuck your'e getting heavy. " Jacques knew what was coming next as he chuckled after Zephyr slapped the back of his head.

" Watch it Jacques before I beat your ass. " Zephyr threatened as she hopped down from Jacques back coming to his front. She looked at her best friend and she couldn't help the smile that stretched across her face.

" Damn Chesire chill out. "

" Shutup Jacques, we still going to the studio later or nah ? " She had her camera ready in her small backpack. Zephyr continuously took pictures of Jacques she had to admit that her best friend was quite photogenic, pictures with Jacques always seemed to be better.

" Yeah, I got to get out the house though. You know my moms and old man really aint down with me and this music shit. " Jacques answered back twisting his braids between his fingers. He already knew Zephyr had her camera in her bag ready to go for pictures. She always took pictures of him while he worked with Chase and Ashton in the studio. When they first met he found it weird but now he didn't mind. He actually liked it now because he started to notice how focus and calm it would make her when she a camera between her fingers.

" Don't worry about them Baby Jacques you know I got you. " Zephyr commented before holding out her hand. Jacques automatically knew what that meant as he grabbed her hand and started to perform their handshake.

" Birds ? "

" Birds. "

That's what they thought they were. Birds suffocating between the walls of stereotypes and their parents. They always promised they would get out together and that was the plan. They never strayed from it or from eachother.

" What the fuck now. " Jacques groaned and grabbed his phone from his pocket answering his mothers call.

" Yeah Ma ?"

" Jacques Webster where the hell are you at ? "

" On the way home Ma. "

" Hurry up Jordan needs help with her homework. "

The phone went dead and Jacques let out a frustrated groan running his hand on his face. " Come on Z top flight security is callin. "

Zephyr laughed and started walking towards her Jeep Rubicon.

" Birds Jacques Birds. " was all Zephyr said as she started the truck and peeled off down the highway towards Jacques house. Every once in a while Jacques would sneak a glance at his best friend and a smile would tug at his lips. He had to admit that he did well with choosing such a beautiful best friend. He simply loved everything about Z. From her mess of curls that she always had tamed in a bun down to the black skate high Vans that he would buy her every Christmas because she simply couldn't live without them.

Jacques tugged on his braids as he stared out the window at the cars passing by. A Mercedes G-Wagon passed them and he remembered when Zephyr told him about her dream car. He could remember every detail of when she told him.

" Black. " Zephry glanced up at her best friend, putting her vintage polaroid camera down on the side table and crossing her legs.

" What ?" Jacques said putting his headphones around his neck and turning from his laptop paying attention to his best friend. " What you going on about girl ? "

" Black, that's the color G-Wagon I want with white stitching details in the seats. That's the car we're going to be riding in when we make it Jacques. His names going to be Bird just like our promise. " Zaphyr picked up her polaroid again snapping a quick pic of Jacques as he leaned his head to the side and tattled with his braids.

Jacques didn't even flinch when the flash came his way. " Don't worry Z when this music thing takes off that's gonna be the first thing I'll buy. "

Zephyr locked eyes with her best friend and she couldn't help the pull at her heart strings. She was starting to fall for Jacques more and she didn't care, " Birds ? "

" Birds. " Jacques confirmed before putting his headphones back on his ears and returned to working on his beats.

I'm gonna make it happen babygirl I promise ......

" Jacques ! Jacques! " Jacques flinch from the sudden yelling.

" Girl what the hell you yelling for ?! " he said raising his voice back.

" Boy who the fuck you think you yelling at ?! You better get your ass out my car before I tie them damn braids together. " Zephyr grumbled as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and literally hopped out her Jeep and slamming her door. Jacques hurridely jump out the Jeep and ran up to Z grabbing her wrist. Jacques was too busy day dreaming that he didn't realize they had pulled up to his house.

" I'm sorry Z, I didn't mean to yell at you mama. " Jacques apologized bringing Z into a tight hug. He didn't like being mean to Zephyr it was the last thing he wanted to do.

" Boy I can't breathe let me go. " Z mummbled into his chest as she tapped on his back needing air. Jacques pulled back and looked at her and let out a laugh. He accidently fucked up her hair and the usual neat bundled of curls were now hanging whopped sided on her head.

" Jacques what the hell G you messed up my hair ! " Zephyr groaned and snatched her hair tie off and shook her head.

Jacques froze. He had never seen her with her hair down and he was simply mesmerized. The thick mane of curls reached her shoulders and flowed easily as a small breeze carried through Houston's humid atmosphere.

" Damn babygirl. " Jacques whispered as he continued to look at Z.

"Boy what ?! " Z said confused as she put her curls back on her head in a neat bun.

" Nothing ma let's go in before top flight loses her edges. " Jacques said walking to the door and pushing it open. Jacques knew all too damn well that Zephyr heard what he said but he was going to pretend she didn't for his own sanity.

Zephyr followed behind him a blush settling on her cheeks as she played what Jacques said over and over again in her head. Babygirl. Z thought she could get use to that.
