《Drugs You Should Try It》Chapter Twelve part II

" Uncle Travis !! " Zephyr nearly flew out the Jeep when Jacques had finally pulled up into the driveway of Travis's house. Travis sat up almost immediately seeing the curly haired girl jump from the passenger side of the truck.
" My little munchkin. " Travis grabbed Zephyr in a bear hug and twirled her around in a circle while she laughed.
" How you been baby girl? Jacques told me about what happened. " Uncle Travis said as he sat on his porch. Today was a rather gloomy day and Houston was humid at its best. You could practically smell the rain in the air and the muggy feeling of the atmosphere clinging to people's skin.
" I've been okay Unc, Baby Jacques has been keeping me level headed. " Zephyr said as she sat down on the seat next to the well aged man. Travis became her father after everything started falling apart after her mothers death from the crazy freak accident. Her father had fell off the grid and Travis picked up the weight like nothing and kept it pushing. From that point Travis never missed a beat with Zephyr she was the daughter he could only wish for.
" That's good love bug and I'm glad that ugly ass nephew of mine been holding you down. Taught that boy well. " As if on beat Jacques walked up the steps to the large porch that invaded the front of his favorite uncles house. He walked to where Z was seated leaning down he pressed a quick kiss to her forehead before ruffling her hair between his fingers. Zephyr kissed her teeth and pushed Jacques away playfully.
" I'm always gonna be down for Z Unc fuck you thought this was. Gonna be riding till the wheels fall off. " Jacques sat down on the banister facing two of his favorite people besides his twin siblings.
" Till the feathers fall off ?"
" Even then baby girl. " Jacques confirmed with a smile as he felt his pocket vibrate from his phone. Digging in his pocket he saw it was a text from Chase. Focusing on the text he read it closely to make sure he hadn't lost his mind. What he was looking at had to be something extraterrestrial. Zephyr noticed the puzzled look Jacques had on his face as he read the text on his phone.

" Jacques what's up ? Fix ya face nigga. " Jacques looked up from his phone with a braid in his fingers.
" Man Chase just texted me talmbout he got us a gig hosting some house party tonight. They want me to perform Z. They want fucking Travis Scott to perform. "
Zephyr perked up in her seat looking at her best friend dumbfounded. She couldn't believe the words that just fell off his tongue. Jacques had always had a small following around Mo City and Houston period but this was the first time anyone has asked him to be the center of attention for an event. Zephyr couldn't contain her enjoyment and she jumped up squealing like a high school girl.
" Baby Jacques that's fucking amazing ! Oh my god Uncle Travis your nephew is making moves. This can't be happening, oh my fuck! Jacques this is it baby boy! " Zephyr rambled on her excitements as she paced back and forth the porch with joy. Her mind was completely blown. To say she was proud would be an understatement.
Jacques looked at his heart pace around with excitement and it only made him more proud and cocky. He felt like he was really doing something and it was only a matter of time before he would be where he wanted. Zephyrs reaction was only confirmation to him he was proud he was actually doing something and things were going in the right direction for him. A smile latched onto his lips as he watched her in her excited freak out, she was really proud of him and that's all that mattered.
Uncle Travis got up from his seat after he sat down his beer and embraced his nephew in a manly hug. " I'm proud of you nephew. "
" Thanks Unc you deserve some credit to. "
Zephyr saw two of her favorite people in a hug and decided to become part of the group. With no less excitement she nearly tackled the two in a group hug only to be responded by their deep baritone chuckles. After the little celebration Jacques and Zephyr found themselves in Travis's living room watching the old tv. Uncle Travis had busied himself frying fish and homemade fries.
" So what time is the party ? " Zephyr spoke up after taking her attention off a less than thrilling episode of Criminal Minds.

" According to Chase it starts at 10. I'll only perform for two hours with separate sets and the rest of the time I'll just be posted up. " Jacques replied playing with his braids.
" Well I'm most def taking pics of you and Chase. This is amazing Baby Jacques it like your first really event maybe somebody will discover you and then we'll fly out of here... " Jacques listened intently as Zephyr rambled on and on about their future together. He made sure to pay attention to the small details she mentioned making sure to store them in his sub-conscience for later. He already planned to buy her the car she wanted when he made his first million. So as she rambled off the things of the future he was planning to make them a reality for her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The party was already in full swing when Zephyr and the boys had pulled up to the large mansion sized house in the upper echelon of Houston. What looked like a palace to them was simply a regular home to the owners. Jacques was the first to hop out the Jeep and he made a beeline to Zephyr on the drivers side of the truck. He opened the door and looked her over. Her nervousness came off in waves and it hit him like a ton of bricks.
" Zephyr look at me baby girl. " Jacques watched her body language as she took the keys out of the ignition and held them in her hands. She was now facing sideways her legs dangling off the side of the drivers seat her short stature was now on display.
Jacques grabbed her small hands in his and rubbed her knuckles soothingly. " I'm going to be with you the entire time baby. There's a lounge area for us and Chase to hang out in if you're feeling overwhelmed go there and call me I'll come running. "
" No Jacques this night is for you I don't want you to worried about me tonight. Go find a girl and have a dance don't worry about me. "
Zephyrs words damn near tore a heart in his chest. What the fuck did she mean find a girl ? Zephyr was the only girl he would ever look for. He brushed it off his shoulders and held her hands tighter in his. Bringing one to his lips he kissed the back of her hand gently but reassuringly.
" No. You're my girlfri- " Jacques stopped himself and looked at her before letting go of a sigh. He didn't want to say anything and be in the wrong. " You're my best friend and it's my job baby girl. " He gently pulled her arm signaling for her to hop out of the truck. Zephyr stepped out and adjusted her clothes. She wore a simple black t-shirt dress and hugged her body just right and a oversized distressed blue jean jacket that hung a couple of inches above her knees paired with simple Air Force Ones.
Wrapping his arm around her shoulders Jacques secured Z's backpack on his shoulder and made their way towards the double front doors of the mansion sized house. Chase B was already setting up his equipment on the small stage the owners had placed in the living room.
" Bout time you two birds showed up. "
" Shut the fuck up Chase. " Zephyr spoke up while rolling her eyes. She had already had a bad feeling in her bones about being at the party she didn't want to deal with Chase's taunting tonight. She was here to get pictures and support her other half.
Jacques picked up on Zephyrs nervousness and he kept a note in the back of his mind to keep a keen eye on her. Chase shouted at Jacques that everything was ready and he was good to go and that he would start a show in 10 minutes. After Jacques got Zephyr settled and made sure she was okay and fine he got her a safe spot at the stage with room for her to move around for angles. He felt uneasiness settle in his bones and not because of his performance but because of Zephyr and he hated it. He just felt like something bad was going to happen tonight.
After kissing Zephyr on the forehead and doing their handshake Jacques grabbed the mic and Chase B started the music. Jacques Webster wasn't Jacques any more he was La Flame. Travis Scott.
