" Jacques get up nigga we got things to do. " Zephyr said waking up from the alarm she set on her phone last night before going to bed. Z nudged Jacques on his side only to be replied to with a groan. Jacques flipped over on his side into his usual sleeping position. Zephyr rolled her eyes and nudged her best friend again.

" Boy if you don't get your ass up I'm gone beat yo ass. " She said threatening Jacques as she reached for the skin of his neck twisting a bit between her finger tips and applying enough pressure to make sure that it caused the sleeping giant pain.

" Ow ! What the fuck Zephyr that hurt. " Jacques said sitting up from his position on the bed to leaning against the headboard of his bed.

" Do that shit again and I'm gone muff the shit out your little ass. " Jacques grumbled as he rubbed the small red spot on his neck that still seemed to radiate a little pain. He never understood how his little five foot one friend contained so much power in her hands. He was kind of glad though because he knew she could hold her own in fight.

" Yeah yeah yeah Baby Jacques get up we got things to handle today. And I want to go see uncle Travis before we head to the studio." Zephyr helped herself out of Jacques bed and went to grab her now clean clothes. Jordan, Jacques younger twin sister, had washed them for her last night as she washed hers.

" I'm keeping this shirt by the way Jacques. The shit is hella comfortable to sleep in and it's actually pretty cute. " said Z talking as she struggled to pull her jeans over her ass. She hated doing this all the time. After doing her small dance ritual to pull up her pants she bent down and slipped her feet into her usual black Skate High Vans.

" Got plenty knock yourself out Mufasa . "

" Mufasa !! Mufasa !!! Jacques I better not look like some black cloud approaching radar. " Zephyr said in frustration as she waited for Jacques to finish getting dressed. She went over to the mirror and looked at her reflection. Her hair wasn't too bad it just needed a little water. Zephyr found her way to the bathroom and applied some water to her hair watching it curl up a little. Jacques had broke her hair tie so she was stuck looking like a curly q-tip till she could get back to her place.

" Z lets go !" Jacques yelled trotting down the stairs and out the front door. He had Zephyr's keys and backpack already in hand. Getting in the car and sparking the ignition he waited for his best friend to come out. He leaned against the steering wheel and looked out the passenger window waiting. A few minutes passed and Jacques perked up as he saw Zephyr walking out the house in his Supreme shirt and blue jean jacket which looked over sized on her. He noticed her hair was down and almost lost his mind. She was literally art to him Mona Lisa was complete shit compared to his best friend.

" Where to first Baby Jacques? " Zephyr asked as got in the passenger seat she sat her bag on the floor and propped one of her legs up against the dash board leaning back in the seat a little.

" Uncle Trav house first then to the studio with the boys. " Zephyr nodded her head in confirmation and reached over to grab the aux cord plugging it into her iPhone. Kid Cudi immediately started playing and a smile stretched across her face as she saw Jacques started to nod his head to the beat. Kid Cudi was Jacques favorite artist.

Zephyr looked out the window as they pulled into the jungle of Houston traffic and let go of a sigh she knew it was going to take longer to get to Uncle Travis's house as she noticed the cars slow down even more. She sat back and continued to stare taking in her surroundings she noticed the clouds were turning grey and automatically knew Houston was in its bipolar mood. It was going to rain and now they're stuck in traffic. Great just fucking great.

Jacques looked over at Zephyr and saw that she had fell asleep like usual when they're in the car. He couldn't help the chuckle that left his lips Zephyr's hair had covered her face as her head leaned against the window. The traffic had started to pick up and they were almost at the exit to get to Uncle Travis's house.

" Wake up Z we're almost there. " Jacques reached over and nudged Zephyr only to be replied with a nudged back and angry grumbling from Zephyr. He rolled his eyes and kept driving turning down the street Uncle Trav lived on. Pulling into the driveway he rolled down the window and turned the engine off leaving Zephyr in the car.

" Aye! Yo nephew what's up ?! Haven't seen you in a long time. " Travis hopped off the porch from his seat and went to greet his nephew. Pulling him into a manly hug and patting his back roughly. Jacques and took in the appearance of his uncle. Still the same.

" Nah nothing much Unc just been in the studio working trying to fly out of here one day. "

" Don't worry bout it son you will and when you do we gone sit on that there porch and smoke one in celebration. Now don't you tell ya Tjones that she'll trying to hang me. " Jacques laughed at his uncle.

" Is that my baby girl in the car ?! " Travis said excited. Zephyr was literally like a daughter to him and when he got the chance to see her it always made his day better. He remembered giving her her first camera and watching her go mental.

" Yeah that's the little brat. She wouldn't wake up on the way here. " Jacques rolled his eyes and started to play with his braids. They were getting nappy he reminded himself to have Zephyr redo them for him.

" Yeah she's your little brat. When you gone tell the girl you practically want to give her your kids ? " Travis said walking to the car and tapping on the window.

" DAMN UNC CHILL OUT PIMP YOU TALK TOO MUCH ! " Jacques yelled. He knew he shouldn't have told that nigga nothing but he was the only person he could confide in.

" Boy shut the hell up and stop being a pussy." Travis tapped on the window and watched Zephyr wake up with a frown on her face.

" Jacques what the fu- " Zephyr looked towards the window as she heard the tapping on her window. She admittedly perked up as she saw uncle Travis. She hurriedly undid her seat belt and got out the car tackling the older man.

" UNCLE TRAVIS !" Zephyr tightened her grip around the old man feeling overwhelmingly happy as she did so. Uncle Travis was like a second father to her and she love him dearly.

" Hey baby girl, how you been ?"

" Good just hanging with that skinny nigga over there. " Z pointed her thumb towards Jacques and grinned as she heard him kiss his teeth.

" Aye ! Stop talking shit Z ! " Jacques said from the porch as she continued to focus on rolling his backwoods.

" But are you going to fight about it ? "

" You can catch these hands anytime and that's on my momma. "

Her and Jacques looked at each other for a good minute before bursting out laughing. Uncle Travis shook his head at the two still wondering why the hell they ain't together. They already acted like a couple and he knew his nephew would kill over the curly haired girl he called his best friend. He remembered the last time they came to visit and some knuckle head from up the street disrespected Zephyr and he had to pry his nephew off the rascal before he went to jail for assault.

" Man both of y'all shut the hell up and nephew go get us beer. "

For the next few hours the trio sat on the porch smoking and drinking a beer enjoying each others company as the rain from Houston's bipolar atmosphere came and went multiple times.
