Chapter 59

LEILANI-

"We should double date tonight." Gina yawned on the other line

"I would love to but Aubrey's not in town," I sighed

"Damn, well lets do something this week, ok?"

"Sounds good, talk to you later Gigi."

"Ok, bye," she hung up

I tossed my my phone down and sighed, its only been a day since Aubrey's been gone and I don't know what to do with myself. I honestly didn't realize how weird life would be without him, this is pitiful.

My phone buzzed next to me and I quickly answered it, not even looking at who was calling,

"Hello?"

"Hey baby..." Aubrey yawned

"Hey, how are you?" I smiled, hearing his voice aalready made my mood ten times better

"Tired, but I wanted to hear your voice,"

"Aw, I miss you," I pouted

"I miss you too, I want to fly you out next week, I'm going to be in Los Angeles."

"I can't wait! How was your performance last night?"

"It was dope, guess who showed up?"

"Who?"

"Bun B."

"No way? That's amazing!"

"It was, we're suppose to chill today,"

"Sounds cool, where are you guys going?"

"Promise me you won't get mad?" he chuckled

"You're going to a strip club, aren't you?" I sucked my teeth

"How'd you know?" He chuckled lowly

"I listen to UGK, it's ok if you go but if I find out you're doing more than throwing money, I'll kick your ass."

"Damn, you got me so scared Lei," he laughed "But I promise I'll be good bae."

"You better!"

"I will, but I need to get ready."

"Ok. love you."

"I love you too, bye."

Time for work.

**

My 6 hour shift at FootLocker went by painfully slow but luckily I had Isaiah working with me.

"So, what are you doing after this?" he asked as he locked up the store

"Whatever you're doing, I'm not trying to go home" I chuckled

"Roll with me to my nigga's party?"

"Sure," I shrugged

DRAKE-

I was hypnotized by Maliahs performance, throwing nearly all the money I brought.

Shit, she deserved it.

After she exited the stage, I threw back one more shot. I didn't want to get drunk, considering I have to perform in Dallas tonight.

Before I left out of Treasures I wanted to see her one last time,

"I'm glad you could make it!" She wrapped her arms around me

"I'm glad I could come too," I chuckled lowly

"Come with me," she grabbed my hand

I watched her ass switch back and forth in the loosely tied robe she had on.

Not even realizing, she led me into one of the private dance rooms.

"Did you enjoy the show?" she asked as she pushed me down into one of the chairs and straddled me

"Yea," I licked my lips quickly as my heart rate sped up

She had a smirk on her face as she lightly bushed her fingertips on my neck. I couldn't help but to notice how beautiful she really was.

Her eyes were nothing like Leilani's green pits that made you fall in love with her instantly, but they did have a certain emotion in them, that had me at a point of never wanting to look away.

"You know..." I cleared my throat "You're beautiful Maliah, way too beautiful to be working here."

The smirk she once had fell, and those strong brown eyes became glossy.

She broke down in my arms, as I tried to sooth her.

"You're the first person to tell me that," she sniffled

"It's true, you don't have to do this."

"The money is so good, my friend put me on when she saw I was struggling to pay bills and pay off my student debt."

"I get that I guess, but isn't there something else you would like to do?"

"Growing up, I wanted to be a model," she smiled

"What if I could hook that up for you? Would you stop working here?"

"In a heartbeat."

"You trust me?"

"Strangely yes," she chuckled "You're defiantly not like the other rappers."

"Damn, how many rappers do you know girl?"

"It doesn't matter,"

Yes it does.

"I appreciate you Drake," she kissed my cheek

"Call me Aubrey," I smiled

"Ok, Aubrey," she got off of me

"Shit, I need to go," I sighed as I ran my hand over my face

"Thanks for making my day, don't be a stranger," she kissed my cheek and walked out

ISAIAH-

"You sure you can roll with the big boys?" I asked Leilani as we pulled up to my friend, Rob',crib

"I should be asking you that," she looked up at me and smirked

I rolled my eyes and knocked on the door,

"What's up Isaiah!" Rob dapped me

"Same shit," I chuckled as he let us in

"Who's shorty?" He licked his lips and looked at Leilani

"Oh, this is Leilani, Leilani this is Rob."

"Nice to meet you," she smiled

"The pleasure is mine, yo, is this you Isaiah?"

"Yea man, she's taken," I wrapped my arm around her

"I see you, enjoy the party," he walked off

"Sorry if that shit was awkward but that nigga gets thirsty around beautiful females," I looked down at her

Easily, I got lost in those green eyes, them shits could make any nigga weak to their knees.

"Isaiah...Isaiah!" Leilani clapped in my face

"Huh?" I cleared my throat

"Lets get something to drink."

"Yea, come on," I grabbed her hand

"Who said I wanted to hold your sweaty hand?"

"You don't have to," I chuckled as I let go of her and started walking off

"Wait! You can't just leave me like that!" She intertwined her fingers with mine

I poured us two shots and handed one to her,

"To tonight!" she held it up

We threw back the shots, damn, I love a girl that knows how to hold her liquor.

**

A couple of shots later, I caught a good buzz.

Leilani and I were bugging out the whole time. She's not like most pretty girls who are too worried about their appearance, that they can't even enjoy the party.

"Hey Isaiah!" Monica walked up to me

"Wassup, it's been a minute. Who are you here with?"

"Justin," she smiled

"Damn, y'all still together huh? This is Leilani, by the way."

"Nice to meet you," Monica smiled "How's my baby boy, Miles?"

"He's good," I chuckled

"With his evil ass," she laughed "Have you heard from Aria?"

"Nah," I sighed

The name alone, strikes so many emotions.

Sadness to anger.

I'll never understand how someone can just disappear out of your life for no reason.

In most circumstances, it's the father who abandons the child but her selfish ways never changed. And because of that, Miles will never actually know who his mom is.

"I'm starting to get worried about her Zay..."

"Shit, I'm not, I can't focus all my time on her anymore."

There's other relationships I want to work on, I looked down at Leilani.

Why are all the perfect ones taken?
