Cannot believe I forgot how much I love Layton! This was amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Hey! I love your writing so much can you do a Snowpiercer fic? 👀👀👀 Andre and Reader used to be a couple instead of him and Zarah

1,001 Cars 

Rating: M 18+ Minors DNI

Paring: Andre Layton x OFC Black!Reader (Paige Knight)

Summary: Paige and Andre see each other for the first time in years.

1,001 cars wasn’t long enough. It’s been four years since Paige has seen Andre. She didn’t even want to be on this God forsaken train but Andre insisted and back then she did any and everything for him. Well, now it was her turn to be selfish and fuck anyone who had a problem with it. 

She was probably the most hated person in the Tail behind Wilford, but she did what she had to do. A decent job in Third Class was enough for the two of them, it was far from the glamours lifestyle in First or even Second Class, but her small restaurant was better than fighting for small scrapes in the Tail that wasn’t what she imagined for them. 

Paige remembers the day clearly when they heard there was an opening in Third Class cooking. This was it. Their chance out of the Tail. Or at least she thought, when she told Andre of the news she hoped he would be excited to get ahead even if it’s just a little bit. Andre immediately shut her down, told her it was betraying the Tail and everything they stood for to leave it all behind.

“You really want me to turn my back on everyone back here. Just for some funky ass job in Third? Come the fuck on Paige.” Andre whispered loudly, so as not to wake the other Tailies trying to get their rest.

“We’re not turning our back, we—talked about starting a family before all this train shit. I don’t want to have a child in the Tail. I don’t want them growing up like this. What’s wrong with giving a child a better life?”

Andre sighed heavily, “We’re not leaving, not when we’re so close to this rebellion.” Now it was Paige’s turn to sigh

“Come on Andre, you’d rather risk your life for a rebellion than to better ourselves. First, it’s Third Class and then maybe I can finally get a teaching job in Second Class, and you can convince them to give you a job, you used to be a detective.” Paige pleaded, desperately wanting Andre to see her point of view. “Hot food, a shower, God knows how long it’s been since we’ve had good food.”

“You’d give up everything we’ve stood for, for food?” Andre asked, disappointed

“Andre, I’m tired. I didn’t even want to get on this fucking train, but you promised me that we’d get good tickets and look at us. Eating God damn rats!”

“Shush!” Someone whispered loudly

“We’re not leaving, end of discussion.”

“That’s it?”

“We’re on the brink of something here Paige, we can change how this train is run. Just believe in it, us, me. Change is coming to the train. I promise.”

Exhausted with the conversation, Paige merely nodded her head. There was nothing else to talk about.

“Do what you need to do, Andre.”

With that Andre kissed Paige before turning over to go to sleep. That would be the last time she would feel Andre’s lips on hers.

Paige can still hear the insults and the feel the judging eyes on her as she made her last walk in the Tail of the train to move to the Third Class. She remembers Andre not even saying goodbye to her or even being within eyesight. Paige held her head high despite the insults thrown at her, not even giving them a second glance, she left with Ruth forever leaving the Tail behind or at least she thought.

What started off as a job in Third Class led her to teaching the children of the Second Class. Paige started tutoring some children when she closed the restaurant in Third and word traveled that Paige would host weekly sessions with the children. Word moved throughout the train, and she was offered a job in the school which she graciously took. Paige missed being in the classroom, she was a second-grade teacher before Snowpiercer and is what she originally applied for when Andre suggested they get tickets for the train.

Life was going well for Paige until tragedy hit Second Class. A coworker of hers was found dead in her cabin and her right arm frozen solid. Paige found her body when she opened the school that day. She instantly knew there was foul play involved and immediately went to the police.

Paige was supposed to be interviewed by the new train detective after the school day. She had been on edge since finding the body, who could’ve done such a thing and why? Is this what Andre was talking about? The sound of knocks rapping against the door sliding open pulled Paige out of her thoughts. She straightened out her clothes and slide the door open, not prepared to the man standing on the other side.

“Paige Knight?”

“Um, yes.”

“I’m Bess Till and this is Detective Andre Layton. We have a few questions to ask about the death of Ciara Young.”

“Please, come in.” Paige couldn’t bear to look Andre in the eyes. The past couple of years haven’t been kind to him, she could see it all on his face.

“So, here’s how this is gonna go. Detective Layton is going to ask you some question and you’re going to answer those questions truthfully.” Paige nodded, not trusting herself to speak.

“Great, I’ll be standing outside the door while Detective Layton conducts his interview.”  Till removes the handcuffs off Andre’s wrist, before giving him a stern glance and leaving Paige’s suite.

“So, this is what selling out gets you.” Andre lamented as he rubbed his sore wrists.

“Just ask me your questions so you can get back and tell everyone how much of a traitor I am. I’m sure, Josie will love to hear that.”

“And what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Whatever you want it to.”

“Let’s just cut to the chase, when was the last time you saw the victim—”

“Ciara, her name was Ciara Lane.” Andre looked up and saw that she was struggling to hold back tears.

“Sorry. When was the last time you saw Ciara alive?”

“Yesterday evening, we were having drinks in my suite and she left around 11:00 at night.”

“Was she intoxicated?”

“No, we only had two glasses of wine. We’re teachers, it takes more than two glasses to get us drunk.”

“Did she mention anyone else when she was leaving. Did she give any indication that she wasn’t going back to her suite.”

“No,” Paige answered quickly which Andre noticed but decided to leave it alone...for now.

“So, when did you find her?”

“Around 7:30 in the morning. We usually walk together, but she wasn’t in her suite. So I assumed she got an early start, that’s not uncommon. I can in her classroom there she was at her desk…strangled and her arm had been frozen and cut off.” Andre frowned.

“I would like to ask more questions but let’s go to your suite. Since that was the last place you saw her.” Andre suggested

Paige frowned, Andre motioned to the corner of the room where a security camera was watching and listening carefully.

“Okay, we’ve canceled school for the week, we need to find a new teacher. Do you need to ask permission or…?”

“I’ll handle it.” At that moment, Till entered the classroom.

“Finished?”

“I would like to visit Ms. Knight’s suite, as it was the last known location of the victim.”

“Very well,” Till roughly handcuffed Andre, Paige growing angry at the way she was treating Andre.

“I think they’re tight enough.” Till gave Paige a sarcastic tight-lipped smile. It was a silent walk from the classroom to Paige’s Second-Class suite.  Upon entering the room, Andre could smell lemongrass. Paige’s favorite scent, he remembered her apartment always smelling like lemongrass.

“I know all about your history with Mr. Layton here. So don’t try any funny business.” Till said before stepping out of the suite.

“No one’s been in here since the murder, right?” Andre asked, searching her living space.

“No, not that I know of. What are you looking for?”

“Anything that could point me to where Ciara might’ve gone.” Andre noticed an outplace vase on the mantle.

“Have you always had that?”

“Hmm, I’ve never noticed it, no I don’t remember getting that.” Andre grabbed the glass case and found a microphone inside.

“What the fuck—” Andre held up a finger to his lips, signaling her to not speak.

“Can I get some water please?”

“Sure,” Paige quickly poured Andre a glass of water he then put the microphone in the glass.

“Someone’s been listening to your conversations. Do you have any idea why?”

“No, I don’t all I do is go to work and come home.”

“Withholding information can land you in serious trouble. Who knows what fucked up ways they have of making you talk. If you know something you gotta tell me.” Paige sighed as she plopped down on the sofa.

“Ciara was talking about a Rebellion; she had a contact in Third Class. I told her to be careful,” She lamented.

“What happened the last time you saw her?”

“She came over after school and she was talking about the Rebellion finally starting. She said she was getting notes at her door…warnings. She was going to meet her contact in Third and I told her to be careful, there are eyes and ears everywhere. I begged her to stay the night, said she would be fine. When she left a man was waiting for her outside, her contact from the Third class.”

“Did you get his name?”

“Cole. Cole Peterson. That was the last time I saw her.” Andre could see the sadness on her face and couldn’t help but feel bad for her.

“I promise Paige, I’m gonna find her killer and make sure that she gets justice.” Before Paige could answer, the door burst open.

“Ma’am you can’t go in there.”

“Ma’am I told you I’m dropping her daughter off.” A girl no more than three years old, came running into the room. A head full of curls bouncing with each movement.

“Mommy!” the girl said, launching herself into Paige’s arms.

“What happened?” Paige asked looking at the woman.

“She got sick and then I went by your classroom…” while the woman whom Andre assumed to be a daycare worked explained the situation all he could do was stare at the young child and realize how much she looked like him. She couldn’t be, could she? It’s been almost four years since he’s seen Paige, this little girl could very well be his daughter.

“Mommy, who’s that?” The little girl asked, Andre locked eyes with Paige, one question on his mind. Knowing what thought loomed in his head, Paige nodded in confirmation.

“Thanks for bringing her home,” Paige said to the daycare worker.

“No problem, let me know how she’s feeling.” Once again they were alone, the tension in the air thick.

“Mommy, who is that?”

“He’s your Daddy. Andre, meet your daughter, Aaliyah.”

Blindspotting - Collin HCs

Y/N was devastated when Collin left Oakland without a trace. Now it's New Years and he's back. Set after season 2 of Blindspotting.

You were dating Collin for two years before he disappeared

Miles was the one to break the news to you and Nancy called you right after

She was as heartbroken as you were

You were heartbroken to say the least. You tried to so hard to rationalize what he was dealing with, but after all you had been through together? Leaving without a goodbye or contact info?

The love you had for Collin didn't fade, but you were still angry as fuck

You were angry at Collin, the police officer and the system that often paints them as heroes as Collin as a criminal. You wanted it all to burn.

Janelle convinced to take boxing lessons with her to channel your anger.

Every minute in your shared apartment reminded you of him. You didn't have it in you to move his things

Collin left most of his items at the apartment. Only a few pairs of clothing were missing

When you came home the day he left, you noticed the framed photo of you two sitting on the dresser. The picture was supposed to be in the living room.

There were times you stressed, thinking about his whereabouts and if he was safe

Sean asked you about Collin all the time. He was convinced Uncle Collin was communicating with you while he was away

You and Ashley were stuck in a hard place. She didn't get to tell him about Miles yet, so you decided to pretend

Sean believed Collin was on an adventure for work, meeting new people, and saving the day (he came back with a biker gang, so you weren't completely wrong)

You spent more time with Nancy and Janelle because you all missed him and would often lean on each other for support

This led to road trips and yoga classes together. They didn't want you to forget you were still a part of their family whether Collin was there or not

On New Years, just as the clock struck midnight, you were on your fourth drink. Miles and Ashley were having a moment upstairs

Janelle convinced you you needed another shot and just as you were ready to down it, she froze

"Nelle? You good?"

You finally turned around to see Collin standing in the doorway of the kitchen

He looked different. Tired. Anxious. His braids were now locs that passed his shoulders and his beard reminded you of a caveman. He wore a leather jacket and boots that reminded you of a biker gang (unbeknownst to you)

Janelle was the first to move to greet her brother. Everyone else stepped in to greet him, asking how and where he's been

He answered their questions as efficiently as he, refusing to break eye contact with you. All Collin wanted in that moment was you

It was hot as fuck, but you were still upset

Once everyone left him alone, Janelle handed him her shot, threw a pointed look your way and left

Collin couldn't move and neither could you

After all this time, you were still the most beautiful women in the world

He raised his glass, then took his shot. You did the same

He finally moved from the doorway and pulled you close

"Please don't let me go", you begged

"I won't"

Collin held you for as long as he could, leaving a trail of soft kisses on your forehead

More people entered the kitchen to see you and Collin in your own world, holding each other in silence

All the anger and frustration faded, that was a conversation for another time

For now, you were happy to be back in his arms

Every Kind of Way

Prompt: On the way to a friend’s house, during a blizzard, you end up stuck in a cabin with Daveed’s family…or as I like to call it Rose doesn’t know how to finish her other projects, so she wrote something else.

Part 9

Pairing: alpha!werewolf!daveed x omega!reader

Tagging: @wreakhavoconmacroissantdiggs @ramp-it-up @sebastianabucknettastan @wtfhell @sillyteecup

You refused to leave your room for the remainder of the day. Jasmine and Rafa came by to get you to open the door, but you wouldn’t budge. It felt like you couldn’t move no matter how hard you tried. It was an uphill battle you refused to fight. How could your soulmate of all people make you feel this shitty? How could he be so careless?

You sat in the corner of the room, away from the bed where Daveed claimed you. The room wreaked of him and created its own form of torture, but you had no where else to turn. 

Daveed sat on the other side of the door, contemplating knocking the door over so he could hold you close and never let go. All Rafa could do was bring him dinner and wait for his next move. He wouldn’t tell his best friend how bad he messed things up between the two of you. Daveed’s heart was in the right place, but his timing was awful.

“You need a shower”, Jasmine sneered as she grabbed the bowl from the floor

Daveed didn’t respond.

“She can probably smell your stench through the door”

It was enough to catch Daveed’s attention. He knew if you decided to finally come out, he didn’t want you seeing him in this condition. Yes, he was an absolute wreck, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t shower.

“I’ll talk to her, but I can’t promise you anything for being an ass”

He quietly thanked Jasmine as he got up. 

“(Y/N), I’m coming in”

Jasmine stepped in the quiet room. You were sitting on the floor with your knees pressed to your chest. You never looked or felt so small. She sat next to you as you tried to steady your breathing.

“He’s not at the door anymore. I sent him away”

“Good”, you sighed, “I don’t want to see him again”

“Well what happened?”

Jasmine took in your quietness and convinced you to leave the house, away from all the alphas…and Rafa. They were desperate to figure out what happened between the new, happy couple. Jasmine held your hand tight as you distanced yourself from the house and away from your soulmate.

“We ran into Benji yesterday”, you started, “He said that Daveed only marked me to keep him from getting to me. The same day Daveed ran into Benji was the same day Daveed marked me. It doesn’t feel like a coincidence”

“How do you feel?”

“I feel stupid for letting him in”

“You’re not stupid. You opened up to someone you trusted and they made a bad decision…a really bad decision. I don’t think Daveed was trying to be malicious. He was just being--”

“A stupid alpha”

“Well yeah”, she laughed, “We can be really stupid when our mates are involved, but that doesn’t change anything. What do you need?”

You thought the question over. There were so many things you needed in that moment, it was difficult keeping track of them all.

“I need space, some time for me to think things over, I want to punch something, I want someone to hold me, and I want people to stop trying to figure out what happened. We’ll talk about it when we’re ready”

Jasmine pulled you in and held you tight, “I’m sorry”

“It’s not your fault. Not all alphas are stupid”

“I’ll take it”

The air grew tense in a matter of moments. The same familiar stench you were accustomed to filled your nostrils. Jasmine sensed it too and pulled you behind her. You both stopped to talk right where the forest began. There was enough space between you and Daveed.

“Do you think I’m a stupid alpha?”

Jasmine was always used to keeping a calm, collected demeanor, but Benji’s presence always pushed her buttons.

“Soooooooo, how are things with you and your precious alpha? I was only trying to help darling”

You held on to Jasmine’s arm as you took a deep breath. Benji waited with a sickening smirk on his face. He wanted to see how uncomfortable you were now that he attempted to come between you and your soulmate. You were so tired of his constant meddling. You were never going to be his. You would rather die.

Without saying a word, you launched a rock with as much strength you could muster. It didn’t take much, given much you truly hated him. Your quickness surprised all three of you. The rock connected with Benji’s eye, ensuring a black eye in its wake.

Benji screamed as he took a step back, holding his eye and grimacing.

“Nice shot”, Jas smiled as she stepped back, as much as she wanted to knock him out, she wouldn’t risk putting you in danger. Benji was too unpredictable.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”, he yelled, “I told your family-

Benji was taken aback as he took in your laughter. You had the nerve to laugh at him and it made his blood boil.

“The moment you became more trouble than you were worth, I would take things into my own hands…and here we are”

Benji took a step past the woods and walked onto Daveed’s territory. Jasmine growled as her eyes glowed.

“(Y/N) run”

By the time you turned to run, Daveed jumped in front of you on all fours. The look in your eyes told you to keep running and don’t stop until you made it to the house. Once you reached the door, Oak, Rafa, and the rest of the alphas were already running out the door. Anthony tried to pull you inside, but you couldn’t move until you knew Daveed and your pack were okay.

The entire pack formed a line in front of Benji, daring him to take a step forward. Benji knew he was outnumbered. You didn’t think he would be dumb enough to challenge a pack of alphas and yet he proved you wrong. He charged at Daveed with full force, knocking him to the ground. Your heart stopped in your chest.

Get up. Please get up.

Benji tried to take a bite from his neck while he was down, but Daveed was quicker than you thought. He lunged for Benji’s tail and pulled until he was at the edge of the woods. Benji writhed in pain as the rest of the pack surrounded him, preventing him from making a break for it. Daveed’s teeth sunk deeper into his tail and connected with the bone. With one final pull, Daveed was able to swing Benji by the tail past the edge of the woods with one spine tingling howl. 

Benji limped with his tail between his legs back to where he came from. Daveed was the first to move towards the house. Just like your first night there, he stood on his hind legs to reach the porch. His big brown eyes looked sad as if he didn’t know what to do next. You took a step forward and rubbed the bridge of his nose. You sealed the gentle touch with a kiss. 

Daveed took a step back and by the time he reached the stairs, he was back to his human form. He didn’t care that you didn’t want to speak to him, he just needed to know that you were safe and Benji couldn’t get to you.

“You threw a rock…at his face”

“You almost ripped his tail off”, you smirked

He pulled you in for a hug, refusing to let you go. 

For now, it was enough.

I was NOT expecting that ending. The drammaaaaaas 😨

Hi I was the anon that sent in the ask for ‘Confessions’ and it was so good!😭✨ I loved the angst and feel for both the reader and yes, even Daveed a little🙄 lol. If it’s not to much to ask, would it be possible to request a part 2? Maybe Rafa feeling guilty for running his big mouth and possibly ruining on the greatest things to happen to his best friend. I could see him being guilty but also sick of seeing Daveed camping on his couch in sadness and he know he has to help his friend win his girl back✨💗 no pressure or anything you’re literally one of my favorite writers on here and I love you work and for keeping the Daveed thirst fandom alive!

Confessions Pt. One

December 2022

“Coming up next on Lifetime it’s a Liddell Christmas Movie Marathon! First up is Merry Liddell Christmas, then Merry Liddell Christmas Wedding, and lastly Merry Liddell Christmas Baby—“ Kenya shut off the TV she was not in the Holiday spirit this year. She didn’t even put her decorations not that she had a lot of decorations in the first place, but she would put up something to make the house look a bit more festive. After what happened on Friendsgiving, she didn’t want to celebrate anything. Daveed had been calling and texting her that next day it took her a week to block him. Kenya didn’t want to hear anything he had to say, she heard what she needed to hear. Even though it pained her, she had to cut him off, even as far as having Rafael pick up Daveed's things from her place, she was mad at him too because he knew everything. That day when he came by the house to get his friend’s things, Kenya had all of this stuff neatly placed in a bag by the front door and she even asked for the key back

Kenya glanced at the clock on her dresser and saw that it was almost 10:00 she had to show a client a home in Calabasas at 1:00 she whined in irritation before dragging herself out of bed. Kenya was in her closet trying to figure out what to wear when her pine started to ring, she blindly answered the phone continuing to try on different outfits.

“Kenya Wright of The Wright Home Real Estate, how may I help you today?”

“Look at you sounding professional and shit, what house can you find me for $300,000 in LA?” Her best friend, Keyari's voice said over the speaker

“I can find you a box on the side of the road, what do you want Key?”

“I wanted to see if you wanted to have dinner tonight because you walking around like someone took your lunch money.”

“I mean can you blame me?”

“No, not really. They lucky I wasn’t there I would’ve swung on a bitch.”

“I know Key, I know.”

“How are you though?”

“Ehh, it’s day by day, to be honest, sometimes I’m good and barely think about him and then most days I can’t get him out of my mind.”

“You know I’m still down for slashing some tires.”

“Keyari, we can’t slash niggas tires.” Kenya laughed

“We can if we want to, but should we? That’s where it gets murky.”

“Ain’t nothing murky about it, we can’t do that shit.”

“Not if you only slash three tires,”

“Key!”

“Alright, are you coming with me to dinner or not?”

“Yes, what time?”

“7:30 at that new oyster place. I can come by and we’ll ride together.”

“Sounds good Key!”

“Okay sis, I’ll see you later.”

“Okay Key, bye.”

Daveed wasn’t doing much better, he’s been sleeping on Rafa’s couch since Kenya kicked him out. Sulking around LA and it was driving Rafa crazy. Rafa felt like shit, if he hadn’t opened his big mouth in the first place Daveed and Kenya would still be together, Daveed was the happiest he’s ever been when he was with Kenya and now he's back to where he was before he met her.

Daveed kept replaying the look on Kenya’s face that night, she looked so hurt and broken and he was the cause of that. He had a small silver lining of hope but all of that faded away when Kenya texted Rafa to pick up Daveed’s things. He couldn’t describe the feeling when he saw Rafa return with a suitcase of his belongings. What really hurt Daveed the most was that he wasn’t even mad at her, he knew what he did was wrong.

For about a month Daveed wallowed in his self-pity, refusing to shower or even eat most days. He even stopped making new music which is something that he never does. Rafa had enough of it, he was only doing this for Daveed’s own good. Rafa creaked open his bedroom door, from his room he could see right into the living room and Daveed was still sleeping…at noon. He burst out of his bedroom making the most obnoxious noise he could, startling his friend awake.

“Diggs, come on man you gotta get up, change your clothes, take a shower. I mean, even Mia don’t want to be around you.” Rafa said Daveed glanced down at the dog who probably smelled better than Daveed does right now

“Bruh, I don’t feel like it. What’s the point? I lost Kenya and I don’t think I can get her back and I would’ve blamed her if she didn’t.”

“Okay, this self-pity shit ain’t working. I’m going out to run some errands you’re on dog duty.”

“You can’t take her?”

“No, so take a shower and take Mia out for a walk, you both need it.” Rafa grabbed his keys left the house leaving Daveed and Mia

“So, I guess it’s just you and me. Maybe we can walk around the backyard,” Daveed suggested Mia growled lowly

“Fine, we’re going to the park.”

Daveed walked around the park Mia leading him wherever she wanted to go. It was a beautiful day but Daveed couldn’t even pay attention to that his mind was preoccupied with something else. Maybe he should try calling her would she even answer the phone, shut probably blocked him by now. Mia abruptly stopped walking and sniffed the air before taking off. Daveed wasn’t paying attention and the leash slipped out of his hand.

“Mia!” Daveed called out as he chased after the dog

“Here’s your change ma’am.” The man said

“No it’s fine, keep the change.” Kenya insisted

“Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day.” Kenya smiled back at the man before walking away with her Italian ice. She’s not sure what prompted her to come to this particular park, she used to meet Daveed here if they both had a break in their day and meet for lunch or just a quick walk around the park. Kenya shook the thoughts from her head, that was before everything went down last month, she can’t keep doing this to herself. She’ll take steps toward moving on then she’ll think back to when she and Daveed were together. She heard a dog barking and her head snapped up, that sounded like Mia. She whipped her body and saw the dog running up to her.

“Mia? What are you doing here girl?” Kenya greeted the dog who was just as excited to see her, tail wagging frantically

“Mia! There you are!” Kenya looked up and saw Daveed standing in front of her. He froze when their eyes met for the first time in a month. He cleared his throat before grabbing hold of the leash.

“Sorry about that, come on Mia.” The dog whined not wanting to leave

“It’s fine, she just misses me,” She said softly, still playing with Mia. “Isn’t that right Mia? I missed you too.” Kenya continued playing with the dog, Daveed looked and couldn’t help but smile, god what he wouldn’t do to see her smile and laugh again. That was probably his favorite thing about her, her smile, it could light up the entire room.

“Well, I better get her back to feed her you know,” Daveed mumbled under his breath.

“Daveed,” Kenya called out. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it immediately. She doesn’t know what to say, she can’t ask how has he been, she can clearly that he’s not okay, his beard was a bit more full than it was last month. His hair wasn’t done like it usually is, it’s like he stopped caring. Then again, why should she say anything at all? It wasn’t what was said that ruined

“Can I ask you a question?” He nodded his head for her to go on “Was any of it real?” Daveed sighed heavily

“Yes, Kenya. It was so real for me, I-I-I wish it never happened, all of it.” Daveed reached out to her but she backed away

“This isn’t something that can be wished away, I trusted you. You were my family, my home.”

“Kenya, I’m so sorry you didn’t deserve this at all. I should’ve been honest with you from the beginning—” Kenya put her hand up to stop him

“Don’t say what you couldn’t a month ago. Daveed, I—” Kenya looked away because she looked at him any longer should start crying and she didn’t want to give him that or anything for that matter. “There’s nothing else that can be said, Daveed.”

“So, I guess this is it?”

“Yep, take care of yourself Daveed.”

“You too, Kenya.” Daveed watched sadly as the best thing that ever happened to him walked out of his life forever. That’s when he heard a low rumbling of thunder and an idea came to him“Ken! Do you want a ride? I don’t mind taking you,” Kenya looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds coming in fast, she would be drenched before she even made it back to her job.

“Sure,”

What started as an ‘innocent’ car ride, led to Kenya telling Daveed he left something else at her house which lead to a couple of bottles of wine being consumed and ultimately led to their current predicament. Kenya moaned aloud as Daveed bounced her up and down in his lap on her living room sofa. One thing led to another and here they were. Kenya would be lying if she said she didn’t miss the sex. Kenya snapped her head up when Daveed stopped moving, he place his hands behind his head giving her a smirk.

“Ride,” he commanded. Kenya placed her hands on his shoulders as leverage as she slowly rode him since he wanted to play dirty she had something for his ass. Daveed let out a chorus of moans he reached up and played with her nipples causing her to cry out.

“Fuck Daveed! ‘M close,” She breathed out she began to bounce a bit faster and harder

“Me too,” Daveed took control again by grabbing her thighs and thrusting his hips up chasing his own release at this point. Two, three more thrusts, and both of them groaned reaching their peak, Kenya slumped against Daveed’s bare chest, trying to regain her breath. She carefully got off his lap and started to put her clothes back on. Daveed lingered a bit before he too started to get dressed.

“You should probably head out, Keyari’s coming over soon,” Kenya said absentmindedly

“Hold up, hold up, hold up, that’s it? We not gonna talk or try to figure anything out?”

“Figure what out?” Kenya questioned

“This, us. Kenya, I—I want to be with you.”

“Daveed, I can’t, I can’t look at you the same. When I look in your eyes I keep thinking about the lie that would’ve kept going if I hadn’t found out.”

“So you can fuck me but don’t want to be with me?” Daveed asked accusingly

“Don’t do that! You don’t get to do that to me not after what that bullshit you pulled.”

“You ain’t even fight for us! You asked me if I cared about you? Was I just some meal ticket to you?” Kenya frowned

“Nigga I know you fuckin lying, you really wanna go there Daveed?”

“When we met you just passed your real estate exam. Most of the clients you have are because of me! Shit those clients helped pay for this house!”

“That you lived in nigga! What the fuck are you trying to say?”

“I’m just saying, now that you got some money it wasn’t that hard to let go of the relationship. You didn’t need me anymore.”

“Get the fuck out Daveed!”

“Gladly,” Daveed grabbed his keys and stormed out of the house slamming the door shut behind him. Kenya scoffed in disbelief, she couldn’t believe him. A bark pulled her out of his thoughts, damn it Daveed fucking forgot Mia.

“God damn it,” she muttered under her breath. She opened her back door and she ran inside searching for Daveed. Loud knocks at your door made you roll your eyes. She stomped to the door and opened it, not surprised to see Daveed on the other side.

“You forgot something,”

“You said that before you want me to fuck you again?”

“Get the damn dog and go Daveed.”

“Mia!” The dog ran to Daveed and Kenya slammed the door shut

Kenya placed the phone down on her nightstand and downed the rest of her glass of wine. She wasn’t in the mood to go out with Keyari. She knew it wasn’t a good idea to invite Daveed but she—she wanted to be with him just one last time, she’d be lying if she said she didn’t miss him. She thought about him all the time, but she just can’t forgive him. Every time he would look at her she would think back to that night. This is what she gets for being vulnerable she took a chance when she met Daveed and look where it led her. Now that she thinks of it, fucked Daveed, he doesn’t care about her the way she thought he did. She’s done being sad, she not gonna give him that satisfaction. He doesn’t deserve it.

Rafa opened the door and sighed heavily seeing that all the lights were off. Damn. Maybe his plan didn’t work out after all. He turned on the light expecting to see Daveed on the couch but raised an eyebrow upon seeing the empty space. Now that he thinks of it, it’s a bit too quiet in his house.

“Diggs? Bro, you here?” Mia ran over to Rafael happy to see him after the long day, tail wagging, barking excitedly.

“Where’s Daveed, Mia? Huh, where’d he go?” Rafa walked further into the house and saw a note on the counter in his kitchen

Went to my Mom’s.

Thanks for letting me crash.

-Diggs

Rafael sighed heavily, he pulled out his phone and called Daveed, he was sent straight to voicemail, Rafa called him again, and just like the first time he was sent straight then he received a text from Daveed

I’m good bruh. Don’t feel like talking. Talk later

Rafa grabbed his car keys and raced out of the house he had to fix this somehow.

“I don’t know, only God knows where the story ends for me But I know where the story begins. It’s up to us to choose whether we win or lose.” Kenya sang loudly, she was on her fourth glass of Merlot and didn’t care. Then as if out of nowhere, Kenya’s mind thought back to when she and Daveed went to Trap Karaoke for a date. Kenya shook the thought of out her he’d she hated when little memories popped in her head, she was done with nostalgia. Kenya’s Drunk World Tour was cut shirt when frantic knocks were rapped against her door. She rolled her eyes, Daveed’s got some nerve coming to her house again. Kenya turned off the music and marched toward the door and swung it open

“Daveed you got some nerve—“ Kenya stumbled back slightly when she saw Rafa on her doorstep

“Oh, the fuck you want?” Kenya asked with a raised eyebrow

“Kenya, can I come in please?”

“No, I’m mad at your ass too Rafael.”

“Damn, Rafael? You haven’t called me that since we met,” he tried to joke, he cleared his throat when he saw the unamused look on her face

“You know I kinda wish I can go back to that night, I would’ve never talked to you or your trifling ass friend.” Kenya slurred slightly

“Look, Kenya I’m so sorry I really hadn’t opened my mouth I was fucking drunk can I please come in so we can talk. Please?” Kenya sighed heavily giving in

“Fine,”

“So what do you want?” Kenya asked pouring the two of them a glass of wine

“Look, I’m not trying to tell you what to do—“ Kenya cut him off with a loud sigh “Kenya, I know what Daveed and I did when y’all first met was fucked up but give Daveed another chance, he’s been walking around like a sad puppy.” Kenya hummed condescendingly

“I don’t know what Daveed told you after he left here but if he put you up to this instead of comin over here and apologizing to my face he can miss me with all that bull shit! Daveed’s a grown-ass man he knows how to communicate.” Kenya stood up to leave

“Kenya—”

“Nope, I don’t wanna hear it!”

“Kenya, sit down!”

“I’m pretty sure Daveed’s sob story was very convincing but save it for the next bitch—”

“Kenya, sit down.” Rafael said firmly Kenya went wide-eyed and sat down on the barstool

“I’m not saying you gotta get back together with him but Kenya he really did love you. That part wasn’t fake. I’ve seen Diggs with other girls and he wasn’t doing half the shit he was doing when y’all were together. Just talk to him.”

“If you had come over before today I probably would but after our fight—”

“Fight?”

“I ran into him at the park today while he was walking Mia. We came back here because he left some of his records. He wanted to talk about getting back together one thing led to another and he accused me of only getting with him because he has money.”

“Diggs said that?” Rafa asked shocked

“Yep, so when I say this Rafa, I mean it. I’m no longer interested.”

“Damn, I just figured…”

“You’re a good friend, a damn good one but I’m moving on.” Rafa smiled softly

“I can respect that, I’m so sorry Ken, I feel like this is all my fault.”

“Don’t blame yourself. Daveed and I were already having problems, that shit was the icing on the fucking cake.”

“I know but, if I hadn’t said anything—”

“It would’ve come out eventually,” Kenya reassured

“So I guess you’re gonna kick me out now?” Rafa joked making Kenya chuckle “There’s that smile!”

“if you want to leave that’s fine, you gotta report back to your friend?” Kenya teased

“Diggs left, he’s staying with his mom now.”

“Oh,” There was a brief silence between the two of them before Kenya spoke up

“You wanna smoke?”

“Hell yeah,”

After smoking two blunts and drinking whatever brown liquor you had on your bar cart, Kenya and Rafa sat at the kitchen island eating the pizza and wings they had just ordered. Kenya was actually having a good time she didn’t realize how much she missed her friendship with Rafa that’s why she was so hurt when everything went down. Kenya and Daveed were already having some relationship issues before Friendsgiving but to have Rafa know about the bet the entire time, it hurt her feelings.

“So what did Keyari do when you told her?”

“Oh, she wanted to fuck Daveed up, she still does.”

“Man I’m glad she wasn't here I don’t think I could handle both of you being pissed off.”

“Keyari probably would’ve swung,” Kenya laughed

“I hope we can still be friends, Kenya. I know you’re still mad at me but when you stop being mad I still want to be your friend even if you’re not with Daveed.”

“I’m definitely still mad at your ass Rafa, but I guess you’re alright.” She said playfully pushing his shoulder. Rafa grabbed her hand and smiled at her. Before she knew it they were leaning in their lips meeting in a kiss. Like a hand touching a flame, Rafa jumped back. Did he really just kiss his best friend’s ex?

“I don’t think we should do this,” Rafa breathed

“Then don’t think about it,” Kenya crashed her lips onto his, they both knew this was wrong but they couldn’t bring themselves to stop. Rafa walked them out of the kitchen until they reached her sofa. Kenya pulled back first and pushed Rafa down onto the shoulder, she bit her lip in anticipation. She sank to her knees and rubbed Rafa’s thighs while pulling his zipper down with her teeth

“What about Daveed?” Rafa breathed out

“You gonna tell him?” Kenya asked looking up at him as she undid the belt of his pants

“Fuck no,” Rafa assisted you in pulling down his jeans and boxers, Kenya grabbed his dick and slowly started to stroke him, Rafa let his head fall back. A million thoughts were running through her head that was shouting t her “This is a terrible idea!” “Stop, this is Daveed’s best friend!” But Kenya pushed those thoughts out the way Daveed had hurt her and she wanted to hurt him too. She placed a gentle kiss on the head before taking him all in her mouth.

“FUCK!” Kenya nodded her head up and down stopping to occasionally suck on the tip before sinking back to the base. Rafa grabbed her hair and started to thrust his hips up into her mouth making her gag.

“Shit, I’m about to come,” Kenya slowly pulled off Rafa grabbed her and pulled her up, and kissed her roughly. Rafa flipped them over, ripped her leggings off, and moved her panties out f the way before thrusting his dick into her Kenya winced slightly at the roughness but she Kenya moaned aloud when Rafa placed his liege on her shoulders and mercilessly thrust his hips into her.

“Fuck, Rafa! Don’t stop,” Kenya reached down and started to rub her clit she wasn’t far from her orgasm and by the way Rafa’s thrusts were becoming sloppier, neither was he. He came with a groan and Kenya followed Hartley after. Rafa panted trying to regain his breath and for the first time since they kissed Rafa and Kenya locked eyes and realization hit them. Rafael pulled out of Kenya and she immediately grabbed the throw blanket and wrapped herself with it. Rafael got dressed in silence neither of them wanting to look at each other.

“I’ll see myself out,” Rafa muttered under his breath

“Okay,” Kenya said quietly. “I don’t think we should hang out anymore,” Kenya said refusing to look at her friend

“Yeah, I um, think that’s a good idea. Goodbye Kenya,”

“Bye Rafael,” Kenya didn’t move from the couch until she heard her front door close. She put her hands in he head and groaned loudly, why the fuck would she do that?

Two Months Later

Kenya whined in irritation as she crawled out of bed for the past couple of weeks she’s been so groggy which is unlike her she is usually a morning person she’s gotta stop trying to hang with these 20 somethings. Kenya blindly walked into her bathroom. When she opened her medicine cabinet she saw her unopened box of tampons, shit, unopened? She quickly grabbed the box and it was indeed still packaged, she bought these a while ago and she hasn’t used them yet? Maybe she’s late again like last month—wait a minute, now that she thinks back she didn’t have a period last month, she doesn’t think so…she can’t remember.

“Oh fuck,” Kenya mumbled to herself. She quickly got dressed stumbling over her feet along the way and practically sped to the nearest CVS she probably broke a few traffic laws along the way, no, she broke a few traffic laws. She grabbed every pregnancy test she could get her hands on and raced back home.

Kenya gaped at the four positive pregnancy tests, she immediately grabbed her phone to call Daveed, he was the last person she slept with. Her thumb was inches from pressing the send button when she hesitated. Daveed wasn’t the last person she slept with.

AN: Yikes what a little tangled web Kenya weaved, I live for the drama I was on my Tyler Perry stuff. I hope you guys enjoyed reading!!

Chapter Summary: Tierra and Shaun’s song finally drops and Daveed bumps into the new couple at the apartment gym.

Previous Chapter Chapter Five Series Masterlist

“Tierra, stop reading the comments,” Shaun chided as he pulled the phone from her grasp

“I can’t help it,” Tierra mumbled, she hopped out of the bed and followed Shaun into her bathroom

“Why? You’re just torturing yourself, the only people whose opinions matter are the ones signing your check.”

“But—-”

“Tierra, promise me you won’t read any more comments?” Tierra sighed heavily hopping onto the bathroom counter

“Fine, I won’t read any more comments.” She pouted

“Thank you, stubborn ass.” Shaun kissed her pouty lips

“I’m not stubborn,” Shaun eyed Tierra “Whatever, any way you know I’m having a party here in a few weeks and I was wondering if you want to come?”

“Babe, you always know I come,” He winked

“Ugh, stupid that’s not what I meant, you coming or not, seriously?”

“Yeah, I’ll be there, anything for you.”

“Aw,” Tierra pulled Shaun over and kissed him, her hands began to roam all over his body caressing the hard muscles

“What you doing?”

“Hm?” Tierra hummed in feign innocence

“Alright, now don’t start nothing you can’t finish,”

“What if I want you to finish it?” Shaun smashed his lips against hers. He swiftly picked her up and walked them back into her bedroom. He placed her down on the edge of the bed down

She sat down not breaking the kiss until she had to. Shaun quickly stripped down to his boxers. He bent down so he was kneeling in front of Tierra. He placed gentle kisses along her inner thighs. Tierra leaned back onto her elbows letting out a blissful sigh. Shaun wasted no time and sucked on her clit while he sunk two fingers in her. When he wasn't sucking Tierra’s clit, he was biting her inner thighs and his thumb was rubbing small circles on her clit.

“Ohhh fuck,” Shaun removed fingers only to replace them with his tongue. Tierra moaned loudly when she felt his tongue around her tight ring of muscles. Just before she was about to release, Shaun stops his ministrations and kissed his way up her body. Shaun flipped them over so that she was on top, his dick pressing on her clit.

Tierra reached down and grabbed Shaun’s dick and started a slow pace stroking him up and down.

“Damn, baby just like that.” Shaun breathed out, Tierra pressed a kiss to his head before licking one long strip on the underside of him

“Fuck!” Tierra took him in her mouth and began bobbing her head. Shaun grabbed her hair and started thrusting his hips up into her mouth. Tierra sat up and Shaun immediately pulled her in for a sloppy kiss. He turned them over so that he was on top. Shaun’s phone started to ring, he craned his neck to see who was calling.

“Ignore it,” Tierra whined

“It’s Russ, I gotta answer it.” Shaun sat up and answered the phone

“What up?” Tierra sighed heavily and sat back up. She grabbed her panties and put them back on while Shaun talked on the phone. Tierra walked past him as he was wrapping up the call

“Hold up, hold up, where you going?”

“To take a shower.”

“So it’s like that?” Shaun smirked

“Just like that,”

“What else do you have to do today?” Tierra asked as she stepped out of the shower. Shaun was standing at her bathroom sink washing his face.

“Nothing I was gonna chill for real,”

“Wanna work out with me?” Tierra asked with a smile on her face

“We just did a workout,”

“Stop playing.”

“Ok, ok, yeah I can do that before I leave.” Tierra beamed and kissed his cheek

When they made it to the gym there was only one other person in there, Daveed he was jogging on the treadmill. Tierra and Shaun went to the other side of the gym and started to do some stretching. Daveed could see them from the corner of his eye, he didn’t even realize someone was in the gym with him until he heard her laugh. Probably at something he said, Daveed turned his slightly and saw the outfit she was wearing. He had to tell him to not stare so obviously, but damn that outfit was made for her.

Shaun looked over at Daveed and he quickly turned his head and averted his eyes elsewhere. Tierra noticed Shaun staring at Daveed and frowned

“What’s up?”

“He was looking at you.”

“Okay and that’s a problem because?”

“I don’t like that shit,”

“Calm down, we don’t even like each other like that. He’s my neighbor that’s it.”

“You ain’t seen the way he was looking at you.”

“Shaun, I don’t care. Can we keep working out?”

Shaun looked up again and noticed Daveed looking in their direction. Shaun smirked when an idea came to his head, Shaun grabbed Tierra’s leg and started to lift it closer to her face.

“Damn, baby I ain’t know you were this flexible,”

“Shut the hell up.” Tierra playfully rolled her eyes. Shaun’s other hand started to roam over her leg mainly focusing on her thigh

“Unh, uh, what you doing?”

“What you mean?”

“Naw, nigga don’t play dumb.” Shaun switched to her other leg and did the same thing.

“I don’t know what you talking about,” Shaun leaned down and gave Tierra and quick piece on her lips.

Daveed did his best to not even glance at that side of the room, why even come to the gym if you’re gonna flirt with each other. Don’t nobody wanna see that, Daveed thought to himself. Maybe they were a real couple, after all, it wouldn’t be the most unbelievable thing. He just didn’t think Tierra would go for a guy like Shaun. Wait, why the fuck is thinking about who Tierra would date? He’s pretty sure Tierra doesn’t care about who he dates so why is he thinking about who her perfect match is. That situation doesn’t concern him at all.

But really, what does she see in him? For real, he just doesn’t seem like her type at all. Daveed doesn’t care for Tierra but she’s smart and talented, he could give her that, yeah she’s annoying as fuck sometimes but he’ll give credit where credit is due.

“Ay, yo got a problem, my guy?” Daveed blinked in surprise and turned around maybe he was talking to someone else

“Nigga you the only one in here, I’m talking to you,” Shaun said

“Shaun, calm the fuck down.” Tierra urged, she doesn’t know what got into him but whatever it is, it’s embarrassing.

“Nah, ain’t no problem,” Daveed answered stepping off the treadmill

“Cause you keep looking over here like you got a problem.”

“Like I said ain’t no problem, y’all enjoy.” Daveed turned to leave when Shaun approached him

“Shaun!” He ignored Tierra as he stepped up to Daveed

“See, I think you do cause I seen you looking at my girl and I don’t like that shit.” Daveed could see right through guys like Shaun. Acting all tough and shit to hide something else.

“Listen, I don’t know what the fuck you’re trying to prove but ain’t no problem over here I’m good, she good, you good, we all good.”

“Shaun, let’s go,” Tierra said with a tight lip

“Nah, I think he owe you an apology,” Shaun smirked

“Marvin, I said let’s go.”

“Not until he apologizes.” Daveed rolled his eyes and stepped around him

“Fuck outta here with that bull shit.”

“so you gonna be a little bitch and not say sorry.” That made Daveed stop and turn on his heels

“The fuck you just call me?”

“A bitch, bitch.”

“What the fuck is your problem?!” Tierra stepped in between Shauna and Daveed by the way Daveed was clenching his jaw, she knew he was holding back and she would hate to see what he was like when he exploded.

“Tierra,”

“No, we’re leaving you really trying to fight in broad daylight? Come the fuck on,” Tierra said roughly as she dragged Shaun out of the gym.

Tierra got off the elevator, drained from having to deal with Shan after he tried to start a fight out of nowhere with Daveed. She doesn’t even know why he felt the need to do that. As she turned the corner she bumped into Daveed, perfect, just perfect.

“‘Cuse me,” Daveed muttered stepping around her

“Look, I’m sorry. I don’t know where that—”

“Listen, I don’t know what you told him just keep your little fling away from me.”

“Wait, you think I said some shit to him?”

“Why would he come at me like that?”

“First of all, you’re not that damn important to me to be on my mind like that. Two, I was just as confused as you so whatever entry you got going on right now, I don’t want it.”

“All I know is, I was minding my damn business and then here y’all come.”

“Well, maybe you should keep minding your damn business and stop telling me what I should do in my relationship when you don’t even have one.” Tierra scoffed in irritation, “Look I was trying to apologize, but fuck it, I take all that shit back”

“I don’t give a fuck, whatever publicity stunt you got going on leave me out of it.” With that, Daveed stormed past her into the elevator.

Tierra is not the happiest person right now. She was already mad that Shaun caused a scene at the gym with Daveed today. She doesn't particularly care for Daveed but Shaun made the situation worse. She was hoping to stay inside but Shaun insisted on going out so they could promote the song. This isn’t a bad idea it’s just not the way Tierra imagined her Sunday night. Shaun promised they wouldn’t be out all night, Tierra has an interview tomorrow promoting her album.

“Ay, we got the newest hottest couple up in this bitch!! Shaun Da God and Tierra!” The DJ announced as they were led to the VIP area of the club. As soon as they sat down fans crowded the VIP section to snap a picture or video of Tierra, Shaun, and his entourage. Shaun noticed Tierra sitting beside and nudge her shoulder

“You good?”

“Yeah, I’m just chilling.” She smiled back

“You want a drink?”

“I’ll take—”

“Ay, get us eight shots of Henny!” Shaun called out loudly before joining his friends on the other side of the VIP room.

“When the shots came back Shaun gathered everyone together

“Up to it, down to it. Fuck those who don’t do it. We do it, cause we used to it. So, drink muthafucka, drink!”

Four more shots followed after that first one, Tierra stopped after shot number three. Tierra sighed heavily she pulled out her phone and decided to take some pictures, couldn’t let this outfit go to waste. Almost the entire night, Shaun was hanging out with his friends and interacting with his fans. He barely talked to Tierra outside of texting her from across the room.

Tierra was growing irritated by the minute Shan promised her they would leave by midnight and it was almost 12:30. Shaun stumbled over to her already tipsy and plopped down next to her, some of the drink spilling out of his cup and onto her outfit.

“Shit, my bad.”

“It’s fine,” Tierra brushed off, not in the mood to talk

“You good?”

“You already asked me that and I’m fine.”

“I wanted to ask you again,”

“And I’ll tell you again, I’m fine.” She stressed

“Here have a drink,” Shaun shoved the half-empty glass to her mouth, Tierra asked away

“I’m fine, I gotta sing tomorrow.”

“It’s just one drink,” Shaun started tipping the glass toward Tierra’s mouth. She jerked back causing him to spill the drink over her outfit.

“FUCK!” Shaun grabbed some napkins and state to wipe off the alcohol.

“I’m so sorry.”

“It’s fine,”

“Naw, I was tripping—”

Fed up Tierra got up to leave when Shaun grabbed her arm

“Where you goin?”

“To the bathroom,”

“Not by yourself?”

“Why not?”

“Because we in a public place,” Shaun said matter of factly

“We’ve been to public places before, I don’t see the problem.”

“Not a club, take one my of security.” Tierra rolled her eyes

“Fine,” Tierra gave and let one of Shaun’s security guards escort her to the bathroom. When she came back Shaun was not in their section then she heard his voice over the speakers

“Ay yo, what it do? It’s your boy Shaun Da God!” The patrons of the club cheered loudly

“For one hour, drinks on me! We gonna have an open bar!”

Tierra sat back down and scrolled through her Instagram looking at other people’s stories envious of the ones who were at home with a bottle of wine.

Tierra and Shaun locked eyes from across the room. Shaun motioned for her to come over, she got up and walked over to the DJ booth, Shaun turned her around and Tierra started twerking on him. Tierra frowned slightly when she felt Shaun’s hand push down on her back, she tried to come back up but Shaun applied more pressure. Then Shaun placed on leg up on the chair in front of them, that’s when Tierra snapped her body up.

“What’s the problem?” Shaun asked, his words slurring

“What the fuck Shaun?”

“We just dancing babe,” Shaun grabbed her by her waist and pulled her close, Tierra pushed him off not wanting to smell the alcohol on his breath. She stormed off back to the VIP section grabbed her purse and left. Shaun was hot on her trail calling her name. Shaun roughly grabbed Tierra’s arm and dragged her into the nearest restroom locking the door behind.

“Get the fuck off of me!” Tierra demanded yanking her arm out of his grasp

“Chill!”

“Chill? What the fuck Marvin?”

“Oh, you mad, mad?” Shan snickered, Tierra held her glare at him “Come on, babe. I’m sorry, come back with.” He pleaded, he started caressing her arm.

“Shaun it's almost 1 in the morning and I have to be up in five hours. I’ll see you later,”

“So you just gonna leave?” Shaun pulled her closer to him

“Yes Shaun I’m tired,” Tierra moved to leave the bathroom when Shaun pulled her back and smashed his lips onto hers. Tierra pushed away first

“Shaun, stop it you’re drunk.” Shaun danced his hands all over her body stopping to smack her ass

“Shaun, stop I’m serious.” Shaun pressed sloppy kisses along her neck stopping to nibble and bite on her skin.

“Shaun,” Shaun took this moment to capture her mouth with his. Tierra could taste the alcohol on his tongue and mustered up the strength to push him off and slap him in the face.

"What the fuck, Tierra?"

"No, what the fuck is wrong with you? You know what, I'm leaving, don't fucking follow me." She stormed of the bathroom not without the angry stares of men and women all in line waiting for the bathroom. Soon, Shaun came out and frowned back

“The fuck y’all looking at?” Shaun followed Tierra outside who was waiting for her Uber.

“Tierra!"

"Leave me alone, Shaun."

“So you just gonna leave?” Tierra started to ignore not wanting to even look at him right now. "Tierra, Tierra!"

"Marvin, leave me the fuck alone!" It didn’t take long for Tierra’s Uber to arrive he was just around the corner. Tierra hopped in the back seat and Shaun approached the car window.

“Tierra,” Tierra rolled the window up and the black SUV drove off.

Previous Chapter Chapter Four Series Masterlist

“Tierra, Shaun, do you have the song?” Russ eagerly asked, Tierra, Shaun, Ross, and Julie were meeting with execs from both of their labels to test their song. She didn’t know how, but Tierra and Shaun were able to come together and get the song done. He actually wasn’t that bad to be around even though this fake dating thing seemed to be a bit much, it was nice to finally have someone to talk to that’s also n the industry like her.

“Yeah, Shaun and I came up with a song, we’re calling it Private Dancer.” Tierra played the song for execs in the room and she nervously glanced around the room to gauge everyone’s reaction. When the song was over the execs whispered to Julie and Russ respectively, Tierra nervously glanced at Shaun who sent her a wink, she blushed slightly before turning away. When the execs left the room Julie and Russ turned to Tierra and Shaun excitedly

“They love the song!” Julie announced making Tierra let out a breath she didn’t even realize she was holding in

“They want to drop the song soon so it’s eligible for the Grammys. I think we should drop the single on Monday.” Russ went on to explain the next steps and Tierra could feel her anxiety rising slightly, everything was happening so fast and it was taking a little bit longer to comprehend everything. She tried to calm herself down before it became a full-on thing but she wasn’t doing very well.

Julie noticed Tierra’s change in breathing she signaled Russ to stop, she reached out and touched Tiera’s hand.

“Hey, you okay?” Tierra nodded her head not being able to speak right now. She swallowed dryly before abruptly standing up

“I need some air, I’ll be back.” Without as much as a second glance, Tierra left the board room and went outside to get some air. She pulled out her phone and called the first person she could think of.

“Tierra?”

“Hey Dad,”

“What’s going on sweetie, everything okay?” Tierra contemplated telling him what was going on, but she didn’t want to worry her Dad.

“Uh, yeah. I um just wanted to hear your voice. You know catch up,”

“How’s the show going?”

“It’s good, I’ve shot two episodes this season and then I have two more.”

“Tierra I am so proud of you, I always knew you were going to be somebody. If your mom were here today…” Greg drifted off

“I know Dad, I miss her too.” She heard him sniffle and clear his throat

“Um, what’s this I hear about you having a boyfriend?” Tierra rolled her eyes, her notifications have been going off the entire weekend after Shaun posted a picture of Tierra in the studio.

“He’s just a friend, Dad. I promise,”

“Mhmm, if someone gonna be dating my daughter I need to meet this young man,”

“If it goes any further I promise you’ll meet him.” She reassured

“Tierra!” She looked up and saw Shaun waiting for her.

“Dad, I gotta go. I’ll come by the house this weekend?”

“Alright, sounds good. Love you.”

“Love you too.” Tierra ended the call as soon as Shaun walked over

“What else is on your plate today?”

“I have to do some press for black-ish. I’m about to head over to my stylist to get dressed. You wanna come?”

“Yeah, I’ll drive.”

“Try on this De La Renta. I’m not feeling the way the Gucci one bunches on your chest.” Tiffany said blindly handing Tierra an orange strapless fit and flare mini dress.

“I gotta get your shoes and my sewing kit I think the top part of the dress may be a little big,” Tiffany said leaving the hotel room.

Tierra had some difficulty getting the zipper down, she looked behind her to Shaun.

“Can you help me?” Shaun got up and carefully unzipped the dress. Tierra could hear the wheels in his head turning and quickly turned to face him.

“Marvin,” Tierra warned playfully

“Damn, you gonna pull out my government?”

“I know what you’re thinking and we don’t have time for that. Plus my whole glam squad is here, what they’ll hear.”

“So? What if I want them to hear us?”

“I don’t have time.”

“We had time this morning.” He was right, before they met with their labels, Shaun came by Tierra’s place for breakfast. What was supposed to be a quick breakfast turned into Tierra being bent over the sofa and them being fifteen minutes late to their meeting.

“Okay, but after you done Imma be all up in your guts,” Shaun whispered in her ear just as Tiffany returned to the room.

“I like that one better, it fits the interview. It’s saying youthful and young and flirty.” Tiffany handed her some jewelry and gold heels.

“If they ask you, it’s Oscar De La Renta dress, the jewelry is Roberto Coin, the shoes are Giuseppe.” Tiffany listed off quickly as she sewed the top half of the dress so it wouldn’t fall down.

“Alright, I like it, what time do you have to go to the interview?��� Tiffany said pleased

“I have ten minutes until I have to be down there to get mic’d up.”

“Alright, let me put some lotion on your legs, can’t have ashy knees.”

When Tierra walked out of the hotel room with Tiffany and her makeup and hairstylist in tow, they ran into Daveed who was already waiting at the elevator.

He was wearing a black Versace dress shirt with matching pants. He had on a gold chain and his hair was pulled out of his into a ponytail. If he wasn’t so infuriating Tierra would give a compliment.

As they were finishing the last touches on her hair and makeup, Tierra noticed from the corner of her eye that was Daveed was openly staring at her and didn’t care that she noticed him staring. Growing up where she did, staring meant that you had a problem and Tierra always had a solution.

They finally reached the floor and Tierra’s team stayed on while she and Daveed walked off. Tierra could still feel Daveed looking at her frustrated she whipped her body around to face him.

“What is your problem? Why do you keep staring at me?!”

“You got some lettuce in your teeth,” David said dryly as he brushed past her

Daveed would be lying if he said Tierra didn’t look good. She looked the fuck good in that dress. Her hair was pulled back out of her face, showing off those damn dimples, her make-up wasn’t too overdone, the dress showed off her toned legs and they ways heels—wait what was he thinking. This is the same woman who purposely plays her music late at night. Besides, isn’t she with that rapper guy, Shaun the whatever? Daveed couldn’t keep his eyes off of her, she reached over to press a button on the elevator and he got a whiff of her perfume, she smelled good. Daveed shook the thoughts away when she turned her body around asking what his problem was and there it goes, a reminder. Daveed grinned internally before he cleared his throat

“You got some lettuce in your teeth.” Daveed walked past her and couldn’t help the smirk that grew on his face.

“Hello everyone, it’s Joy Dixon here from Essence. So, we have Tony Award-winning actor, Daveed Diggs and singer Tierra Wright joining us today. Hello Daveed, Tierra.”

“Hey, Joy!”

“What’s good?”

“I’m so excited to have you guys joining us today. So you two are guest starring on black-ish this season can you tell us a little bit about who you’re playing?” Daveed motioned for you to go first

“Well, I’m playing a new hire at Andre’s job, Melody. She’s a breath of fresh air to the Stevens & Lido, so hopefully, I get to stick around for next season. I had a great time with everyone on set.”

“I’m playing Bow’s brother Johan, I’m crashing at their house and of course, Andre is not a fan. I absolutely love this shows, after I finished Hamilton, I was determined to get on this show.”

“Tierra, how does it feel being a new artist, you haven’t even dropped your first album yet and you’re guest-starring on one of the Top TV Shows in the country. I can’t imagine how this feels.”

“It feels so surreal, I’m sure Daveed can relate but not even a year ago I was living paycheck to paycheck now I was able to my own studio in my condo. I mean it’s not massive but things like that were only a dream.”

“Daveed do you have any advice for Tierra as someone who’s just getting into the industry?”

“I mean I’m kinda new myself, no one knew who I was until last year. Uh, Staying true to how you are. It’s a little difficult when you’re first starting out because you’re so pressured to say yes to everything. We’re celebrities but we still got bills and rent. Stay true to who you are and what type of art you want to spread.”

“Speaking of art, I heard that Lionsgate green-lit a movie that you wrote. Congratulations!”

“Thank you, uh, yeah my best friend, Rafael Casal and I wrote a movie years ago and it’s finally getting made. It’s a very exciting process.”

“That’s really exciting I can’t wait until it comes out. I’m a huge movie buff and Tierra you have your first official album coming out soon.”

“Yes, it comes out in two weeks.”

“What’s the name of the album or have you been sworn to secrecy?”

“No, I can share it it’s called Tee Time,”

“Is Speculate going to be on the album?”

“You’ll find out in two weeks.”

“I’ve been a fan for a long time since your Soundcloud days.”

“Oh gosh, not the closet EPs,” Tierra joked

“Okay before we get to the game, I heard from a little birdie that you are dating someone.” Tierra blushed at the thought of Shaun, even though at first she was totally against it she was starting to grow feelings for him. Tierra crossed her legs, causing her dress to ride up slightly showing off more of her thigh which didn’t go unsolicited by Daveed. Daveed kept looking at her dress and the way it was hugging her body, the warm color complimenting her skin perfectly like the dress was made for her.

“Daveed?”

“Huh?”

“I asked you if you were dating someone?”

“No, yeah not right now.” He answered quickly, adjusting himself in his seat.

“Tierra, any chance the person you’re ‘dating’ is Shaun Da God? We’ve been seeing some pictures on the gram.”

“I can’t confirm or deny that.” Tierra giggled

“Alright, so before we wrap up we’re going to play a game. We’re going to see how well you guys know each other.” Tierra and Daveed both blanched upon hearing that. They don’t know shit about each other, they barely talk to one another on set and when they do talk to each other, they’re arguing. They both simultaneously looked at their managers who were standing off to the side and they looked just as worried as them.

“Alright, let’s get started. What is Daveed’s favorite color?” Fuck, Tierra wished that they were made aware of the game before the interview, so maybe they would’ve had time to share their answers. Tierra guessed his favorite color it was probably red or some shit like most guys say.

“Time, show your boards.” Tierra flipped her board what’d to palm her forehead of course Daveed’s favorite color would be something she would never think of.

“Yellow?” Tierra questioned

“It’s alright we have three more rounds. You guys will be fine, alright, Daveed it’s your turn. What is Tierra’s favorite onset snack?” Damnit. Did this game just go from hard to impossible? They weren’t even on set together that much for him to notice what she ate and if they were on set they definitely didn’t eat together.

“Okay, so your answer. Daveed said trail mix. Tierra is he right?” When Tierra flipped her board she wondered if she wished hard enough would the floor swallow her to save her from this embarrassment.

“Oh. Okay...Tierra said Tea or fruit.” Joy said half-heartedly

“I um, can’t eat trail mix. I have allergies.”

It was now the end of the game and Tierra and Daveed have not gotten one question right. To say they were embarrassed was an understatement. Tierra has lost all of her confidence and wanted nothing more than to run out of the room. Joy cleared her throat.

“Do you guys want to do the last question?” Daveed looked over at Tierra and saw that was on the verge of tears. He didn’t like the girl but he doesn’t want her to have a breakdown on camera.

“Uh, we don’t have to. Can we wrap it up?” Daveed spoke up

“Sure, no problem." Joy turned to the main camera and flashed her best reporter smile, "Take 17! Alright, that is all we have for today, once again I'm Joy Dixon. Thank you so much Daveed and Tierra!”

“Thanks for having us!” Daveed spoke up again

“And CUT!” Tierra quickly stood up and tried to take her mic off. Julie was quick to her side and helped her. As soon as Tierra felt that the mic was off, she left the room.

Shaun was sitting in the hotel room watching TV when Tierra stormed in.

“Hey, Tierra—what’s wrong?” He asked taking in her appearance. Tierra looked up as if she just realized he was in the room she rushed over to him ad hugged him and finally let her tears fall down her face.

“What happened?”

“It was a bad interview,” Shaun hugged Tierra a bit tighter, trying to console her.

“Did they say something to you?”

“We had to play a game and we didn’t know anything about each other, it was embarrassing.” Tierra sniffled

“Do you have another interview today?” Tierra nodded her head

“At three,” Shaun pulled away from the hug and grabbed Tierra by the hands.

“Come here,”

“Where we going?”

“We just gonna lie down,” Tierra gave him a look and Shaun laughed

“What?”

“Because that’s what you said this morning and you made me late.”

“TeeTee, we just gonna lie down with our clothes on.”

“Okay,” Tierra let Shaun lead her to the bedroom, she sat on the edge of the bed and Shaun took her shoes off. Tierra scooted back on the bed and Shaun joined her a few moments later.

“I’ll wake you up when you have to get ready.” Tierra nodded her head and quickly drifted off to sleep drained from the interview.

Tiffany walked into the room along with Tierra’s glam squad to get her ready for her next interview.

“TeeTee!” She called out “She’s probably taking a nap,” She walked into the bedroom and smiled softly, both Shaun and Tierra had fallen asleep

“This is some cute ass couple shit,” Tiffany said to herself. She whipped out her phone and snapped a few pictures before walking over to Shaun’s Sid of the bed.

“Shaun,” Tiffany whispered stirring him awake

“Hmm?”

“I’m here a little early, for the next interview. Tierra gotta be up in like five minutes.”

“Aight, bet.” Tiffany left the bedroom camping sure to close the door behind her. Shaun, stretched his body being careful to not wake Tierra. He leaned gently started to shake her,

“Tierra, you gotta wake up.” She whined in protest

“I don’t want to.”

“You got one more interview.” Tierra groaned as she slowly sat up.

“Damn, bout time, you put your big ass head on my arm.” Shaun teased Tierra playfully hit his shoulder

“Shut up, is Tiffany here?”

“Yeah, she’s out there.” Shaun cradled her face and pressed a kiss to her forehead

“You feel better?”

“Yeah, thank you.”

“You know I got you.”

“I know.” Shaun kissed her again

“Go on and get ready. I have to go run some errands.”

“Okay, see you later?”

“Yeah,” Tierra got out of bed and walked out to the living room to start getting ready.

Tierra and Daveed had another interview but a radio station not far from the hotel. This interview was for a Sirius XM show so they don’t have to censor everything they say.

“Hello, hello! This is your girl Krissy from Krissy’s Korner Sirius XM station 96. We also have Tazz and Rah in the station this afternoon. We have a treat for you guys today, we have rapper Mr. Daveed Diggs joining us today and the ever so lovely singer Tierra joining us in the Korner today. Thank you for coming to our show!”

“Thanks for having us!” Tierra greeted

“Alright, before we get into anything can we get into this dress!” Tazz gushed

“She came in like she was trying to get a man,” Rah joked

“Maybe she wore that dress for a certain costar,” Krissy suggested making both Daveed and Tierra blush

“Daveed you like the dress she’s wearing?” Tazz pushed Daveed nervously scratched the back of his neck and chuckled

“Yeah, it looks good on her,” Daveed said avoiding eye contact

“Okay, let’s get into it, Tierra, I’m such a super fan. I’m not sure if you remember this but I met you at one of your concerts, like them underground concerts. You had just dropped your second EP and before you left you did a cover of that Minnie Ripperton song, girl! When I say I wanted to throw my shoe on stage that’s not an easy song to sing.”

“One, RIP the great Minnie Ripperton, gone way too soon, and ‘Lovin' You’ is my favorite song to sing. My mom would sing it to me when I was younger.”

“Did your mom teach you how to sing?”

“Yes, before she got really sick she taught me everything I know. My mom was a classically trained opera singer, she never really hit it big so she ended up teaching choir in the public schools, everything I know I got from my mom. I do everything for her,”

“Okay now that I got that out, Daveed I ain’t forget about you. I went to one of your concerts last year with clippng. and it was the most fun I’ve ever had. You were so engaging with the crowd. How does it feel going back and forth to acting and performing on stage?”

“Uhhhh, the difference is that you know at a concert the crowd is rapping with you you vibe off each other's energy. Even in Hamilton, by the time the songs were available on a CD, Apple Music, and all that shit, it became a rock concert. The audience knew the lyrics better than us most nights. Then, you know being in front of a camera for a movie or a show it’s just a sound stage with hella people who are secretly judging your performance. That’s why it’s great to really vibe with your cast because once you have that comradery.”

“So you guys are going to be on black-ish this upcoming season, Daveed you’re recurring and Tierra you’ll be guest starring. How was that?”

“It was absolutely amazing, black-ish is one of my favorite shows. I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news that they wanted me on the show. I had a great time,”

“I always said that after I finished my run on Hamilton I would want to be on black-ish and I leaped at the chance to be on there. I love Tracee Ellis Ross we really kicked it off when she came backstage at Hamilton.”

“Okay, so we have a little tradition here,” the other co-host said, “we have a game called ‘I Hope,’ where you gotta give a really bad scenario or situation but it has to start with ‘I hope’ y’all got it?”

“Yeah,”

“I’m cool.” Tierra and Daveed said simultaneously

“Aight, Daveed go first.”

“Okay ummm, I hope that—wait what am I allowed to say on here?” Daveed laughed

“You can say whatever you want.”

“Okay, okay, okay, umm I hope every time you start your car that bitch on E.” Krissy, Tazz, and Rah laughed and then looked at Tierra expectantly

“I hope every time you go to sleep your pillow’s hot. Hot ass pillow.”

“Damn! It’s like that? Aight, I hope every time you want some cereal your milk is sour.”

“I hope every time you bring someone to your place you ain’t got no damn condoms.”

“I hope you step in a wet spot after putting a fresh pair of socks on.” That one actually made Tierra laugh

“Aight, I hope every time you wash your dishes you touch a wet piece of food.”

“I hope every time you go to the store you’re card never goes through.”

“I hope that every time you wake up in the morning you find out your phone wasn’t charging overnight.”

“Alright, last one Daveed.”

“I hope every time you go to the pool you step on a bandaid.” After that the interview went extremely well, both Tierra and Daveed talked about their upcoming music and Daveed talked a little bit about Blindspotting. They even had an impromptu cypher between Daveed and the other co-host, Rah. This interview was going better than their previous so hopefully, the good press from this one outweighs their first one.

Daveed and Tierra left the radio station with smiles on their faces feeling good about at least one of the interviews today.

“So, that was a good interview.” Daveed started

“It was, way better than the other one.”

“Yeah, do you wanna um—”

“TeeTee!” She shot her head up and saw Shaun waiting outside for her, a bouquet of flowers in hand.

“What’s all this?” Tierra asked walking over to him, Shaun kisses her gently

“I wanted to do something nice for you after your interviews. I know you’re tired and you deserve a treat.” Shaun said while caressing her bare arms

“And we gotta show off that dress because damn!” Shaun spun Tierra around making her laugh. Tierra could feel someone looking at her and turned her head around she didn’t see anyone and shrugged her shoulders turning her attention back to Shaun and getting in the car with him.

#TSRRelationships

@theshaderoom Rapper #ShaunDaGod and singer #TierraWright were seen together at Nobu having a very intimate dinner. This comes a few days after Shaun posted a picture of Tierra in the recording booth. Tierra also posted this picture today of the two of them napping in a hotel room with the caption "Cuddle Buddies". Roomies, how do we feel about this relationship? Do you think it'll last?
