Part 2 (2/2)
”Yo, did you see that n.i.g.g.a Sway bounce! I can't believe he broke out like that.” Phenomenon was shaking his head in disappointment. I knew he admired that cat but I was too busy laughing at Dior in my mind that I wasn't really paying him attention like I should have.
”Son, you good,” was all I could muster.
”Whatever. I guess that egotistical bulls.h.i.+t people be saying he on is really true. And on the real, his girl would've been perfect for the video. Now we gotta scramble to find somebody else on some last minute s.h.i.+t. This would've been a good look for everybody. So not only is he causing me to go over budget on my first major video but he ain't gon' do his appearance. That n.i.g.g.a foul!”
”Don't worry 'bout it. We'll find you another hot chick. We in Miami. This the right city to find a last minute bad b.i.t.c.h.”
”I hear you but that s.h.i.+t f.u.c.ked up. We had a usable bad b.i.t.c.h right here and that c.o.c.ky a.s.s n.i.g.g.a f.u.c.ked it up. Plus I like the fact that homegirl's face is familiar from being photographed everywhere with Sway but at the same time don't n.o.body really know who she is. I'm tempted to go to his crib and let him know how foul he is.”
”You know where he stays?”
”Of course. He got a condo at the Setai right there on South Beach.”
”I tell you what. Since I'm invested in your success, I want you to win. I'll go over there and have a conversation with him myself.”
”And say what?”
”You the talent, there's no need for you to worry about things like that. I'll take care of it.”
”Cool, make it happen.”
When I pulled up to the condo section of the Setai on 101 20 St. I had only one mission and there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I would pull it off. I stood outside the entrance for a long time talking on my cell phone, strictly observing the incoming and outgoing traffic. I figured at some point Sway and Dior would make an appearance. After thirty minutes of bulls.h.i.+t talking on the phone I finagled my way into the lobby which wasn't too difficult given my clean cut appearance and the Lambo I pulled up in. Around the ten minute mark, I saw Dior, Sway, some other female and his bodyguards walking towards The Grill restaurant. I played it cool as I gained headway. When I got somewhat close, I coughed loudly hoping to get Dior's attention. But the only one that turned in my direction to see where the noise was coming from was the unrecognizable female. Everybody else kept all attention in the forward direction.
It wasn't until we all got into the restaurant and the hostess was about to seat them did Dior so happen to turn around and meet my gaze. I felt the reason she turned in my direction was because she could feel my eyes burning a hole through her back. She glanced at me, then turned back around and suddenly glanced back as if trying to peg my familiar face. When she did it a second time, I smiled then discreetly gestured my finger for her to come here. Her demeanor didn't change in one way or another so when she walked off following behind Sway and the rest of his people to the table I didn't know if she was coming back to hear what I had to say or not.
About five minutes later when I saw her go in the direction of the bathroom, I knew she was interested in what I had to say.
”Are you stalking me?” were the first words out of her mouth when I walked up on her.
”No, but by your actions you're letting me know that you don't have a problem with it if I am.”
”Don't flatter yourself. I was just curious to know why the man I gave the brush off at the club last night was now in the same spot I'm staying at.”
”It's simple. I have something I want to give you.”
”d.a.m.n, we on that dumb s.h.i.+t again. Didn't I tell you I ain't interested in whatever little money you throwing around?”
”It ain't about money.”
”Then what? And please hurry up before Sway sends one of his workers over here to see what is taking me so long.”
”I want you to come tomorrow so you can be the lead in Phenomenon's new video.”
”Phenomenon...how you know him?” I knew she couldn't have been paying attention last night when I came over to sit at Phenomenon's booth but that was cool.
”Don't worry 'bout all that. I know with a swiftness you was raising your hand to take over the open role so now I'm here to let you know it's available if you want it.”
”d.a.m.n right I want it but since you know so much about what went down, then you're well aware Sway made it clear that s.h.i.+t wasn't happening.”
”I thought you were a girl that made your own rules. You did turn me down because you felt Sway was the one that would bring you fame. Well the way that s.h.i.+t went down earlier today, it ain't gon' never happen up under his thumb.”
”So you want me to believe that you have enough clout to get me the lead on the video although Sway made it clear to the director he wasn't going for it.”
”Now you're following me.”
”I don't know, Sway is totally against that s.h.i.+t. Then I would have to figure out how to be away from him all day tomorrow.”
”Either you want fame or you don't. You and I both know that if you're cast as the leading lady in this video the doors will open up for that to happen.”
”Still, we both know videos don't pay s.h.i.+t and it's hardly going to be a vehicle to make me financially independent. I'll be taking the chance of Sway cutting me off permanently.”
”It's up to you. Last night you were hoopin' and hollerin' that money wasn't what you were after but instead you wanted fame. I'm giving you a chance to make that a reality.”
”I understand all that but this s.h.i.+t is much more complicated than that.”
”Well you figure it out but here take this,” I said handing her one of my business cards. ”There are very few liable prospects in life. When one comes banging at your front door you best take it because it may never come again.”
The expression on Dior's face said everything-she desperately wanted the fame but she didn't want to lose her mill ticket Sway to get there.
”I'll think about it but what are you getting out of this?”
”I do some business with Phenomenon and he wants you in the video so I'm trying to make it happen.”
”I find it hard to believe that is the sole reason you're doing this.”
”Maybe I'm also out to prove that if you f.u.c.k wit' me I can truly give you what you want. Unlike some people I have no desire to block your dreams if anything I want to make them a reality. So like I said, think about it. But remember you would need to be on set tomorrow morning. The choice is yours. Now go enjoy your meal because we don't want you to keep Sway waiting.”
I wasn't sure if I got through to Dior or not. But whatever her decision was I got into her head and made her think about some s.h.i.+t. So whether she showed up tomorrow or not I knew we would eventually meet again.
Dior.
It Was Worth It.
Flas.h.i.+ng Lights by Kanye West was blasting through the speakers in Sway's NYC penthouse and I found myself mouthing every word as if he wrote the song personally for me. It didn't help that I was on my fourth gla.s.s of champagne and had done a few lines and it was only the middle of the afternoon. I needed something to get me through the freaking day and night though. Two c.u.n.ts that I absolutely detested were in my presence and they weren't leaving anytime soon. It was bad enough that happy ho Lori was here but so was this chick Tracy. Tracy rubbed me the wrong way but for a different reason than Lori.
See Tracy started f.u.c.king around with Sway a few months before me. He never made her his main girl but clearly he liked the p.u.s.s.y enough that he kept her on a bi-monthly rotation. Most of the females he dealt with were lucky to get a follow-up after the first night but Tracy managed to put herself in the jump-off category, which made her irritating a.s.s think she was somewhat special. No she wasn't getting the red carpet treatment, endless access to designer clothes or jet setting around the world but she was getting some semi consistent d.i.c.k from Sway which in her mind put her in an elite club. But for me she was just another ho working my nerves.
”Sway said get dressed because you all have someplace to be in an hour,” I heard a female voice scream out. Clearly she was trying to be heard over the loud a.s.s music but she kept on repeating herself. I guess because I kept my eyes closed the entire time and she was waiting for me to acknowledge her a.s.s. Finally I complied because as high as I was, I couldn't take her screeching voice any longer.
”I heard you,” I said, slightly opening my eyes. But the female kept standing right in front of me practically begging for my undivided attention. ”I said I heard you, now move!”
”Don't yell at me. I'm only doing what Sway told me to do.” I had to completely open my eyes to see which dumba.s.s female was f.u.c.king up my high. Of course it had to be Tracy. She was feeling all sorts of bold leaning forward topless with nothing but some leopard print boy shorts on. She had both hands on her hips as if advertising to say, I have a body shaped like a c.o.ke bottle.
”I see you and I hear you, Tracy. Now run off like a good ho and tell Sway you've fulfilled his request.”
