YOUR P.O.V.

Y/N- *sighs*

Jermaine- *chuckles*

Y/N- *looks at him* Why are you laughing?

Jermaine- *shakes his head* Doesn’t matter.

Y/N- Okay… well, did you sleep good last night? I hate giving up my bed to anybody *ties up her hair*

Jermaine- Yeah, really good.. thanks for that. 

Y/N- Me on the other hand.. *chuckles to herself* I hate the couch so much. It is so uncomfortable. *grabs a shirt from the drawer* I’m never sleeping there again

Jermaine- Sorry about that. How’s the divorce going?

Y/N- It already happened..

Jermaine- What? You never told me..

Y/N- *smiles* Yeah.. a few days ago, I was in court, and case closed. I’m not married anymore

Jermaine- Congratulations.. *hugs you* I know that’s what you wanted

Y/N- *pushes him of gently* And you need to shower *laughs and holds her nose*

Jermaine- *laughs* Can I get a towel?

Y/N- Sure *walks out the room*

Stacy- *kisses Diggy’s cheek* You don’t have to…

Diggy- *smiles* You know I love cooking, especially breakfast

Y/N- *rolls her eyes* *walks past the kitchen*

Diggy- *glances at you*

Y/N- *grabs a spare towel from the cupboard* *walks back to the bedroom*

Diggy- Thought you showered already?

Y/N- *looks at him* I did. This is for your brother.

Diggy- *nods a little* You joining him in there?

Y/N- What?

Diggy- *shakes his head and rolls his eyes* You know what, just… whatever. Don’t make me late for this meeting

Y/N- Try getting your little friend outta here then maybe I can focus on what I’m doing *walks to her room* *hands Jermaine the towel*

Jermaine- Thanks.. you alright?

Y/N- *breathes sharply* I hate your brother sometimes

Jermaine- *shrugs and goes to the bathroom*

Y/N- *gets changed*

*half an hour later*

Y/N/Jermaine- *walk out the bedroom*

Y/N- You sure you’re not even a little tipsy?

Jermiane- *laughs* I’m sure

Y/N- *walks then stops*

Diggy/Stacy- *making out*

Y/N- Ugh *walks to the fridge* *grabs a water* You’re not gonna find a contract in her mouth

Diggy- *breaks kiss* *puts his arm around Stacy* *clears his throat* Ain’t gonna find a better attitude in the fridge.. or in his pants *glances at Jermaine*

Y/N- *closes the fridge and looks at Diggy* Excuse me?

Diggy- You heard loud and clear, I don’t have to repeat myself

Y/N- Why are you acting like a jerk?

Diggy- Why do you walk around here like a bitch?

Jermaine- Watch how you talk to her

Diggy- Do I need to throw you out of my apartment?

Y/N- Our apartment.

Diggy- *tilts his head at you* Sorry, whose name is on it again?

Y/N- Who pays the rent on time to keep us here?!

Stacy- I think I’m gonna leave

Y/N- *nods* Yeah, you should

Stacy- *kisses Diggy* *gets up and leaves*

Diggy- Watch it. That’s my girlfriend

Y/N- I don’t give a fuck who she is right now. I want to get to this meeting on time, not witness you shoving your tongue down her throat and slopping yourself all over her every minute

Diggy- *points at Jermaine* And what the fuck is he doing here? What’s up with you two huh? You know the deal with me and him

Y/N- *laughs to herself* You know what, when you’re done playing games and being a kid, I’ll be in the car outside. You know, the Bentley I borrowed from my boss to help us today? At least I know one of us is making an effort *leaves*

Jermaine- *looks at Diggy* Why you actin like that?

Diggy- Don’t fuckin try to talk to me

Jermaine- Daniel! Come on.. I’m tryna have a brother-to-brother talk with you.

Diggy- Nah fuck that.. *pushes past him and leaves*

Jermaine- *sighs and follows him*

*at Def Jam Records* *in the waiting room*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Y/N- *crosses her legs*

Diggy- *taps impatiently on the arm rest*

Y/N- *looks at him and his fingers* Can you not?

Diggy- *stops*

Y/N- *sighs*

Diggy- *turns to you* What the hell was he doing there this morning anyway? And last night? You didn’t even run it past me that he’d be staying

Y/N- I don’t have to explain anything to you

Diggy- Are you with him?

Y/N- No.

Diggy- Do you wanna be with him?

Y/N- Can you not ask me these questions, please?

Diggy- *sits back in his chair*

Y/N- *thinks* Hold on.. are you jealous?

Diggy- What? No.. no, no. I’m not

Y/- *smiles to herself* Sure..

Diggy- I’m not.. I mean.. *sighs* Nothing.

Assistant- *comes out* They wanna see you now..

Y/N- *looks at Diggy* *stands up*

*later that day*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Y/N- A full mixtape, wow…

Diggy- *shrugs and smiles* I know

Y/N- I mean, yeah, it’s not an album, but it’s a taste of what you can do.. you’re really going places

Diggy- *pulls you in for a hug*

Y/N- *hugs him back* *sighs deeply*

Diggy- *breaks the hug* *holds your shoulders* There’s something I wanted to tell you *looks at your eyes and lips*

Y/N- Yeah…?

Diggy- *stares at your lips* *leans towards you*

*phone rings* 

Diggy- *opens his eyes* *answers his phone* Hello? Oh, hey baby.. *looks at you* 

Y/N- *takes a step back* *walks away*

Diggy- *watches you go*

*a month later*

Diggy- *walks out the booth*

Y/N- That was crazier than I thought. You really nailed it

Diggy- *smiles and hugs you* I just wanna play it back, I swear that was the best thing I’d done

Y/N- *gets on the computer* All I gotta do is send the beat to Ye then he can do his work and we can get the final track soon. Your first mixtape with the new label.. wow.

Diggy- *holds you from behind* Can’t wait…

Y/N- *pauses* *slides away from him* Okay.. *types on the computer*

Diggy- *chuckles* Don’t be like that

Y/N- *looks at him* Then stop messing me around.

Diggy- I’m not

Y/N- You’re with Stacy. You can’t play her. You can’t suddenly start acting like your brother used to and turn into the thing you hate most.

Diggy- I’m not. 

Y/N- I deserve respect. I’m your friend, your roommate.. I’m half your manager and assistant

Diggy- *smirks* So do your assistant duties for me

Y/N- *scoffs* You’re disgusting *walks away* I need to handle business.

Diggy- What about us?

Y/N- The only us is strictly business related. Apart form that, us doesn’t exist. *leaves the studio*

*a few days later*

Spin- *laughs* A woman who argues with you like that is the kind that cares more about you than herself. Can’t you see it? No. Cause you’re too dumb to realise that she’s good for you

Diggy- And what do I do, huh? Where do I go from here?

Spin- *sighs* It’s simple. You know she’s feeling you. You’re feeling her. You got a chick on the side just for fun.. you gotta do what you gotta do before it’s too late

*hours later at the apartment*

Stacy- *cries* What do you mean?

Diggy- I meant what I said. It’s over. It’s not working out.

Stacy- *sobs into her hands

Diggy- I’m sorry…

Stacy- *grabs him* You’re lying.. please tell em you’re not serious

Diggy- I.. I can’t say that. I mean it Stacy, it’s over

Stacy- *cries into his chest*

Diggy- You gotta go.. *looks away*

Stacy- Just like that? You invited me over to break up with me?

Diggy- I’m sorry.. I don’t know what to say…

Stacy- *grabs her stuff* You know what.. *wipes her tears* It doesn’t matter. You’ll get what you deserve. People like you always do *leaves*

YOUR P.O.V.

*the next day at the studio*

Y/N- *walks in* You better have a pretty damn good reason for this. One, you didn’t run past me that you booked today, two, I had to cut a meeting short and three.. I’m hungry!

Diggy- I have one thing to say.

Y/N- *folds her arms* Go.

Diggy- I’m sorry. I apologise from the bottom of my heart for everything that happened before.. and I wanna make it work with us. Personally and business-related

Y/N- And how is that gonna happen?

Diggy- *walks up to you* Well first… I got the label to increase your salary.. two, I’m gonna cook for tonight and we’ll talk things out and make everything good between us.. and three.. you’ll let me do this *holds your chin with his finger* *kisses you*

Y/N- *pushes him off* No. Diggy, no. *wipes her lips and stands back*

Diggy- *looks at you confused* I thought you wanted this?

Y/N- *sighs* Things… changed.

Diggy- *confused* And how do things change?

Y/N- When you meet somebody at work.. *looks up at him*

Diggy- Wait..

Y/N- I’m seeing somebody else

Diggy- *stares at you*
