Chapter 53

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Diggy- *bites on his lip*

Zendaya- *counts through the money* *looks up at him*

Diggy- What?

Zendaya- Don’t hover over me, I hate that

Jhené- Yeah don’t do that.. hey, you know if Y/N is in work?

Diggy- *shrugs* Probably upstairs with Troy..

Jhené- *leaves the room*

Zendaya- *looks at Diggy* Okay, leave now

Diggy- *chuckles* Why?

Zendaya- Because I don’t need any more distractions

Diggy- *chuckles* If it wasn’t for me agreeing to this and getting us to that interview yesterday, you wouldn’t be relevant again right now

Zendaya- *glares at him* I wouldn’t be relevant? Where was your career before me?! Where is it now compared to mine?!

Diggy- *laughs* 

Zendaya- On the same damn level. 

Diggy- You shouldn’t have left me for Jermaine. We coulda made a good team

Zendaya- *looks at him* I didn’t leave you for him.

Diggy- Don’t lie right now Zen. It was years ago, yes you did. Everyone does at some point. You, my dad, Y/N... *pauses and swallows hard*

Zendaya- *stands up* Don’t.. don’t do that to yourself. 

Diggy- *looks away* I’m fine.

 Zendaya- *sits on the table* You’re not. 

Diggy- I am! Now hand me the money *reaches his hand out*

Zendaya- *looks at the envelope in her hand* *looks at him* 

Diggy- Diggy, I’m not here to play games, give it to me

Zendaya- *holds his hand* *pulls him towards her* You know what? You do need me.

Diggy- I don’t, I..

Zendaya- *holds his face* Yes.. you do. I can see it in you. Who else has made you so incredibly happy that when I walk in the room, you’re lost for words? Does Y/N do that?

Diggy- *looks away*

Zendaya- *tries to look in his eyes* Well?

Diggy- *looks down* She does everything you were meant to do, if you say you were meant to.

Zendaya- I’m everything she’s not. I know your family secrets, I know your past.. Daniel, baby I know you. You. Beneath the ego, the stage name and that smile you use to hide everything. *pokes his chest* I know your heart. You can’t hide that from me.

Diggy- *sighs* I gotta think abut my son and what I’m doing to him and Y/n an..

Zendaya- Stop thinking for one second.. and just.. *lifts his head up* *kisses him*

Diggy- *gives in and kisses her back*

YOUR P.O.V.

Troy- *lays you on his desk* *kisses and sucks on your neck*

Y/N- *grips onto his shirt* *moans*

*knocks on the door*

Y/N/Troy- *freeze and look at each other*

Jhené- *from outside* Y/N, you in a meeting?

Y/N- Um.. yeah! I’ll be out in a second..

Jhené- Cool, cause I kinda wanna talk to you..

Y/N- *tries to get up*

Troy- *eases you back down* We’re not done just yet

Y/N- *pushes him back* We’re stopping. Now.

Troy- *furrows his eyebrows*

Y/N- *raises her eyebrow*

Troy- *sighs*

*ten minutes later*

Jhené- *taps her foot impatiently* *folds her arms*

Y/N- *opens the door* You wanted me?

Jhené- Y’all took your time.. I needed to talk to you about Diggy

Y/N- *folds arms* What about him?

Jhené- He and.. *shakes head* Actually it doesn’t matter. 

Y/N- *looks at her carefully* Okay..

Troy- *opens the door* Jhené, hi.

Jhené- *clears her throat* Troy.. me and Y/N are having a private conversation.

Troy- Don’t mind if I get past then.. *pinches your ass*

Y/N- *jumps a little*

Troy- *walks past and smirks*

Jhené- *looks at you* You okay?

Y/N- I’m fine. Trust me.

Jhené- Ugh, he actually makes my skin crawl *shudders a little* I can’t believe I used to date him... *looks at you* Don’t let him manipulate you to do whatever he wants, he’s controlling and defensive. You don’t wanna mess with that

Y/N- Jhené, I know what he’s like, I’ve worked with the guy for years

Jhené- So I advise you to keep a distance before anything happens. Think about your family. Y/N, he’ll do whatever he wants to tear anything in his path apart. Including you. He has you wrapped around his little finger already and you don’t even know it

Y/N- Alright, Jhené, alright.. damn

Jhené- *looks at you weird* What’s up with you?

Y/N- Nothing.. I’ve been thinking a lot, that’s all. You know where Diggy is?

Jhené- I was just with him. He’s in the conference room with Zendaya.

Y/N- Zendaya?

Jhené- No big deal. just business... *walks to the elevator*

Y/N- *follows her*

ZENDAYA’S P.O.V.

Diggy- *lifts her legs* *thrusts harder*

Zendaya- *whimpers out load* Daniel!

Diggy- *grunts* Shut the fuck up..

Zendaya- *moans as he strokes*

*door handle rattles*

Diggy- *looks up*

Jhené- *bangs on the door* Guys, let me in, it’s me..

Diggy- Aite, hold up! We’re talking..

Zendaya- *smirks*

Diggy- *pulls out* *pulls on his pants*

Zendaya- *twirls her hair* So... 

Diggy- *looks at her* You don’t say anything about this

Zendaya- *fixes her dress* Or what?

Diggy- *pushes her to the wall* Or I’m gonna do something you’ll regret.. 

Zendaya- *kisses him* Or I’ll just make you come back begging for more..

Diggy- *backs away from her* 

Zendaya- *goes to open the door* Oh.. hi Y/N..

Diggy- *whips his head around*

Y/N- *confused* Um, hi.. *walks in* What’s going on?

Diggy- What do you mean?

Y/N- I don’t now, I’m asking you..

Diggy- Nothing, we just came back from a project and we were talking about it. Don’t worry babe

Y/N- Talking with the door locked?

Jhené- Y/N, he said don’t worry about it.

Zendaya- *smiles smugly*

Y/N- Why is your ex looking like that?

Zendaya- Oh I’m just.. happy.

Y/N- *glares at her*

This bitch.. she thinks she has all the power in the room, but she ain’t know me and her man were just fucking. Fuck if he had a child with her and if they were engaged or not, Diggy didn’t turn me down five minutes ago and I don’t think he will any time soon...

Y/N- Babe, I’m gonna take our son *glances at Zendaya* to my mom’s then Jermaine invited us for dinner later... I’ll see you at home?

Diggy- *nods* Yeah, I’ll call you when I leave here

Y/N- *walks out*

Jhené- *looks at Diggy* You guys got that envelope for Troy?

Zendaya- *grabs it from the table* *hands it to her*

Jhené-  *grabs her wrist and pulls her close* If you try anything to break their family apart..

Diggy- Jhené! Stop!

Jhené- I’m talking to you too *takes the money and pushes Zendaya back* If you do anything to break Y/N’s heart, I will kill you both personally. And I am not kidding. Remember what you’ve got already Diggy. Don’t trade it in for the older model that the whole industry fucked.. *leaves*

Zendaya- *laughs*

Diggy- It’s not funny. She’s right.

Zendaya- And what I’m saying is that you’re gonna come crawling back to me whenever you feel like it because you always can. I’m always here Diggy *kisses his cheek* Whenever you want and need me.. *leaves*

YOUR P.O.V.

*a few days later*

Jermaine- *eats his food*

Y/N- *picks at her food*

Jermaine- *glances at you* What’s up? You been quiet since we got here Y/N..

Y/N- Nothing, I’m just thinking about work.

Jermaine- Good to be back?

Y/N- Yeah.. to an extent. It’s just hard and complicated. The whole roster of artists I have.. and then.. *sighs*

Diggy- *walks back from the bathroom* What’s up?

Y/N- *looks up at him* Oh, nothing. Just work

Diggy- Work huh *sits down at the table* Work’s great

Y/N- *rolls her eyes* Yeah, especially now you’re working with Zendaya...

Jermaine- Wait, what?

Diggy- *puts his fork down* Y/N, come on..

Y/N- You didn’t even tell me, or give me a heads up..

Diggy- Do I need to?

Y/N- Of course you need to

Diggy- What if I don’t want to? What if I wanna do something without your input on ideas and how I could branch myself out? You’ve been acting so paranoid since yesterday and I don’t like it

Y/N- Because you used to date her! Before you met me, it was her in the picture..  How about you can trust me to support you and be there for you along the way instead of her?

Diggy- *shrugs* I don’t need you to.

Jermaine- *shoot him a look*

Y/N- *blinks at him* Wow, I am so done here..

Jermaine- Y/N, come on now. 

Y/N- No, since he doesn’t need me, my support as his partner, or even to be there for him.. *takes off her ring* The engagement’s off.. *puts it on the table* *leaves the restaurant*

Diggy- *looks at the ring* Babe.. *wipes his face*

Jermaine- *looks at him* The fuck did you say that for?

Diggy- Don’t start, alright? *gets up and follows you*

Y/N- *waits for the valet to bring her car* *folds her arms*

Diggy- *walks outside and sees you* Babe.. 

Y/N- *looks over her shoulder* *looks away*

Diggy- *pulls your arm* Y/N, listen to me.

Y/N- Get off me. 

Valet- *brings around your car* *hands you the keys*

Y/N- *takes them* *walks to the car* 

Diggy- *steps in front of you* Don’t do this.. *blocks the car door*

Y/N- Diggy, move. I won’t say it again.

Diggy- Look, I didn’t mean what I said back there. I really didn’t and I’m sorry..

Y/N- *pauses* I think you need time to think about what you need rather than what you want. Because if she’s in the picture, I’m not

Diggy- *think about it*

Y/N- *laughs* If you’re hesitating between me and another person, don’t choose me. Now please move aside

Diggy- *moves*

Y/N- *gets in her car* *speeds off*

*an hour later*

Y/N- *sighs* *pulls up to the driveway*

Troy- *comes out of his mansion* *stands at his doorstep*

Y/N- *gets out of her car*

Troy- *reaches his hand out to you* Come in..

Y/N- *grabs it* *walks in with him*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Justine- *on the phone* No, she called but I’m in Miami.. she said she’d be staying somewhere else for tonight

Diggy- *sighs* Man, I just messed up the biggest thing 

Justine- Fight for her.. that’s all you can do

Diggy- She called off the engagement. 

Justine- So fight harder. Diggy, she’s my best friend..i want y’all together

Diggy- *phone beeps* Jus, I got another call, that might be her. I gotta go, okay?

Justine- Aight.. *hangs up*

Diggy- *answers the other call* Y/N?

Zendaya- No.. It’s Zen..

Diggy- *sighs*

Zendaya- She left?

Diggy- Don’t Zen..

Zendaya- You need me?

Diggy- I don’t think so..

Zendaya- Open your gate.

Diggy- *pauses* Are you there?

Zendaya- Open up.. *hangs up*

Diggy- *walks to the intercom* *looks on the camera and opens the gate* *opens the door*

Zendaya- *walks up* I know you need me. First, I have work to talk over with you.. and then you can tell me what’s wrong.. *walks in*

Diggy- *sighs*

*the next morning*

Diggy- *opens his eyes* *glances to his side* Shit..
