Jake
Jake followed Naureen out of the house, not believing what he had just heard. That Naureen loved him and that she was pregnant, with his child. In seconds, everything he thought he knew was shattered. “Naureen, wait. Naureen! Wait!”he said to her and she stopped as she leaned against the brick wall that was outside Jermaine’s house.
Naureen
"He hates me"she said
"Is it true?"he asked her and she nodded
"I went to the doctor. They told me everything, when it was conceived and I did the math. I got pregnant with you two months ago. I hadnt seen Jermaine for awhile since then and Ive been stupid with my birth control and Im just so sorry"Naureen said as she started to cry. "I thought it would be a good idea to tell you both at the same time. To finally let you know what was going on and to tell Jermaine that we couldnt work but not like this. Not like this"she said as he wiped her tears. She looked at his ripped shirt and his busted lip and caressed his face. "Does it hurt?"
"Like hell. I dont know what I was thinking. I just had to make him shut up. I wanted him to pay for everything. Bringing that girl here, practically shoving her in your face-"
"I wanted an open relationship. I cant be mad-"
"You can be mad. Open relationship doesnt mean fucking disrespect me in public. Thats not how it works"he said to her,"You deserve better. I keep telling you this"
"I know. Now"she said as she hugged him close. She then leaned in and kissed him and he winced,"Sorry"she said forgetting about his busted lip. "Lets get you home. Clean you up"she said as she took his hand
"Wait"he said as he stopped her. "Did you mean what you said? About being in love? With me?"
"I meant it. I do. I love you, Jake"she said
"I love you too"he said with a smile and she looked at him in shock. "Its cliche but I havent stopped thinking about you since I met your anxious ass on that plane last year"
"I bet now you wish you took another flight. You wouldnt be roped into my mess. You got a busted lip, I broke your heart, been stressing you out and now Im….we’re pregnant"she said woefully
He pulled her close and hugged her,”You have stressed me out since I met you but I wouldnt wanna be anywhere else. I love you Naureen”he said,”Dont worry. We’ll figure something out”he said. “Anything you need, Im here. Besides, you’re stuck with me now right? Baby mama”
"Dont call me that"she said as they got into his car. He teased her the whole way but it was out of love…and shock. And when she fell asleep next to him in his oversized sweatshirt and laid her head on his chest, she took a deep breath and sighed contently.
She felt safe with Jake and felt from now on, her life wouldnt be so muddy anymore.
She was clean.
Meanwhile, across town, Breana and Maurice sat in an empty Waffle House and had a big feast of pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, hash browns, orange juice and a couple of blunts, the works. They looked out of place in their designer clothes but they couldnt be happier right now. They ate until they couldnt anymore and then they left together in Maurice’s custom Lambo.
Maurice
"Can we go to my place?"he asked her and she nodded. "Its all good, all my niggas are gone for the night"
Breana
"Good"was all she said with a smile as she looked out the tinted windows
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"I dont like to share you. Girls, guys, no one"
"I know"he said
"I want all of you or nothing"she said and he reached out his hand and held hers in his. They rode in silence as that statement resonated with the both of them. They pulled into his driveway and Breana wondered what she was doing? Should she go inside with him? Fall into this cycle and more than likely get hurt again? Her heart couldnt take it, her mind, her body, SHE couldnt take it. Reece took the keys out of the ignition and was about to open the door when she stopped him,"Why should I go inside with you?"she asked him honestly
"What?"
"Why should I give you another chance? Why after everything, especially everything that happened earlier this summer?"
"I apologized Bree. It was wrong of me-"
"To what? Run back to her after promising me you were done with her?"Bree asked, referring to Kae,"She had the nerve to try to step to me in St. Tropez like you’re a prize to be won-"
"She told me. She admitted everything she said, bragging about it randomly, she was drunk. Im disgusted she said those things to you. Its a bad habit to have went back to her. I shouldnt have done it, it was a mistake but the damage has been done"
"You’re still with her so…."
"Im not, we had a long talk about this the other night. I sat her down and I told her that you own my heart, Bree. You do"
"For now, until I piss you off or you piss me off and you run off with some bitch-"
"Thats not fair-"
"Its not fair, its the truth! I fucking cant. I cant make the same mistakes over and over and expect a different result. Thats called insanity!"
"I love you Bree. I want us to work-"
"Love is not enough. You said you didnt trust me-"
"I do trust you-"
"If you dont trust me then Im not worth shit to you and that hurts"she said as she got out of the Lambo. All of a sudden she got claustrophobic, she was fatigued from all the food and laughing all night and now the whole mood was switched again. Damn it, she hated fighting with him but thats all they did!
Maurice sighed as he got out of the car and walked up to her,”Whats wrong, why did you get out?”
"I felt claustrophobic in there, I cant breathe-"
"Lets go inside"
"No. Why bother? I’ll just call one of my guys and they can come get me"
"You’re leaving?"
"This was a mistake. Like St. Tropez, pretending everythings fine, that we’re married when we are fucked up. We have issues. Big issues, one of them being trust-"
"I do trust you Bree! You are nothing but loyal! I took out my frustrations with Jas being unfaithful on you, thats not what I meant"he said to her as she dug through her purse for her phone. "You’re not leaving"he said to her but she wasnt listening. He grabbed her purse from her and threw it in the car and locked it
"Open the doors!"Bree said as she tried to open it
"Not until you listen to me, fuck, Im trying to talk to you"
"Open the fucking doors Reece!"she said and then walked up to him.
"Give me your keys"she said angrily
"What you mean these?"he asked as he took them out of his pocket and then threw them over the fence and they sailed into the neighbors yard
"Are you fucking insane!?"
"I can buy another set-"
"I dont give a fuck about that!!! My phones in there!"
"Will you just come inside and talk to me?"
"You cant take everything that I have and expect me to still give you what you want!"Bree said
Maurice paused as she said that, he knew she meant her purse and everything in it but it also had a double meaning. “Bree, you’re my best friend. You. Ever since I fucking laid eyes on you, you meant something to me damn it”he said as he walked up to her and she backed up until the back of her legs met the grill of his Lambo. He put his hands on her arms so she couldnt move. “Im gonna be honest. I cant just be friends with you. I cant not talk to you. Because I still love you, because I still wanna fuck. I still wanna make love to you. Even on my good days or bad days I’ll feel that way, because its like…I exist for you. I cant function without you. I can try. I can pretend. But it only leads me to anger and drugs and random bitches and Ma yelling at me. My life is fucking stressful when you’re around but its miserable when you’re not. I’d rather fight with you than be with someone else. Anyone else. Including Kae. Ok? Thats the truth. Im yours. Ok? I belong to you. Just tell me what to do because I keep fucking it all up. Just tell me what I need to do. I’ll tell the world, I’ll call Oprah too, I’ll make another album, write you a song, tell me what you want”he said as she put her head down, not looking at him,”Look at me”he said and when she did, her eyes were welling up with tears and his started to do the same. “I dont wanna hurt you anymore. And Im not saying I wont, I cant promise that but I wanna be better. I know me being with other women hurt you but none of them compared. Thats over now. Theres no one for you to compete with cuz you’re a champ. You’re the champ. You won. All I want is you. Everyday. I close my eyes, I can see you, hear you, and then usually less than 5 minutes later, I cum everywhere cuz I cant control myself”he said and she smiled for a second,”I love you Bree. I’ll do anything, just say what you want and I’ll do it”he said to her and she just stared at his big brown eyes. Speechless. She couldnt say a word. “Bree I need you to say something Im dying here”he said.
Now he didnt know what else to say and soon other parts of his body started to speak for him. His thoughts were telling him what he should do with those long legs of hers, like wrap them around his neck or waist, carry her inside, fuck her brains out. His heart was beating so loudly in his ears, he couldnt hear much else and MJ started to move around in his pants, making the once comfortable suit pants unbearable to even breathe in. Now he was getting claustrophobic, from being close to her. He couldnt breathe, because he was close to her. He couldnt function. He started going AWOL. He was about to abort the mission and he leaned in and kissed her. He held her face in his hands as he did and soon she returned the favor. The kissing got passionate and soon they were breathing out of their noses as their lips glued to each other. He backed her up against the car hood and she sat down on it and she laid on top of it in her white dress, not caring that it was getting dirty. She took off his jacket and he unzipped the back of her dress.
"Wait Reece, out here? Someone could see"
"Those bitches from The Hills are my neighbors, they are all at VMA parties right now"he said as he pulled the dress off her shoulders. She wasnt wearing a bra and her tits soon revealed themselves.
"Fuck"she moaned out as he massaged them while he laid on top of her. "Fuck it I just want you. All I want is you" He took the right one in his hand and kissed and massaged it with his tongue and then the left. He then held them in both hands and licked them as he looked her in her eyes. "I love you"she whispered out breathlessly
"I love you too"he said,"You like that?"
"Yeahhhhhh"she said as she pulled down the rest of the dress so she could reveal her stomach, she was going to try to take it all off but as he kissed down her chest and to her stomach, he stopped her. He sat up and then put his head under her dress. She soon felt his tongue between her folds and she was soon calling out for him. Squeezing his head between her thighs as she came in his mouth almost immediately. She ran her fingers through his mohawk as she arched her back. He grabbed her ankles and held them up in the air as he buried his face inside of her. She screamed out as she continued to cum over and over. She held her legs up as he reached inside of her with his fingers and gave her more pleasure. "Oh God dont stop Reece"she said as she practically rode his face
"I love making you cum"he said after he swallowed the rest of her. He unbuckled his pants and pulled them down and his briefs and soon he was inside of her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, holding him close as she kissed him as he gave her another ride of her life. She threw caution to the wind, it was nobody’s business anyway. If they saw let them watch. She didnt care what happened.
She had her baby back, and he wanted her more than anything. The Lambo rocked back and forth as they made love. The hood got bent out of shape practically as they fucked each others brains out. Like it was the end of the world, like they may never see each other again.
But they knew if that were the case, it wouldnt be their choice.
She wasnt letting him go.
He wasnt letting her go.
And those feelings became more permanent as they came together and they collapsed on top of the hood and laid there and looked at the stars. Once they got their composure, he picked her up and carried her inside and they made love all night.
A few weeks later, the two were spotted together partying at nightclubs and Breana attended some of his rehearsals for his upcoming tour. He finally had permission to perform overseas again. Most of the places he was slated to perform at he hadnt visited since he and Bree went on tour together four years ago. He also sat in on some of her studio sessions, he sat in on a song she recorded called ‘Pour It Up’. It was now one of his favorite songs.
The blogs and the internet, fans and haters alike were in an uproar, for or against the couple. But they didnt care, it was their life and they made each other happy. Why live up to someone else’s expectations?
But the real kicker was one fateful night when Maurice was out with his boys, he was drunk and as Pat drove them home. Jake started talking about how he was gonna be a Dad, how he maybe wanted to marry Naureen or was it too soon and how he was in love with her. Maurice was happy for him and he turned on the camera and tried to record his confession.
"The lens is still on you drunk ass"Jake said as he took the camera from him and took the lens off. "You werent even recording you idiot"
"Whats that light for then?"Maurice asked drunkenly
"It means its on you wanka"Jake said and they laughed,"This is how you record a confession"Jake said as he pressed a few buttons. "You got something you wanna confess Maurice whatever your middle name is Brown? Whats on your mind? Whats up?"
"Man I dunno man I mean we had fun at the club"Maurice said with a huge grin. A grin so wide that it took up his whole face almost. When Jake asked what was on his mind, Bree came to mind instantly and all the times they shared. Kae came to mind too because though it was the right thing to do, it hurt that he hurt her….and then he couldnt stop talking. "Im a little drunk so Ima be honest. See ya’ll dont even get the real…..so Ima just be honest now. Im stressed out"he said with a laugh. "I mean thats some real shit man, Im stressed out. It aint about the music. I love my fans. You know its just when you share history with somebody and then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, its kinda difficult you know what Im saying?"he asked and then sighed,"Is there a such thing as loving two people?"he slurred. "I dont know, you know, I mean I dont know if thats possible. But to me I just like…I feel like it. And ya’ll are like what the fuck is he even talking about right now?"he said with a laugh, his grin coming back immediately. "But Im just saying Im being real you know I dont wanna hurt anyone either or Im not trying to be a player, Im not trying to be a….dog. Im not none of that. My mom raised me differently so like I just care too much sometimes. I dont know man. Shit is stressing. The life of Maurice Brown"he said with a smile and then something told him to shut up. He didnt remember anything else after that.
The next day, Jake showed him the video and Maurice got an idea. “This is my Oprah interview”he said to Jake
"What are you talking about?"
"I wanna put this online, like a confessional. Like a 2 minute documentary of my life. Like right now, this is my life. Stressing over them two. I think once I release this it will put the rumors to rest. Can you do that?"
"Yeah but I gotta take Naureen to her doctors appointment"
"I’ll start on it then"Maurice said,"What did her agency say?"
"No work until after the baby. Shes disappointed but, at least shes still got a contract with them"
"Anything you two need, I got you"
"Thanks man"Jake said as he dapped him up and left out
That night, Maurice told both Kae and Bree about the video and showed it to them when it was finished, just so they wouldnt be alarmed. Bree was ok with it. Anything that made their relationship easier was a blessing for her. Kae, not so much, it was just another reminder that he was really leaving her. But when the link went up and she watched it, she took to Twitter again about him breaking her heart. He saw it but he couldnt do anything about it. He had to be honest. He had to get that off his chest. Its better for it to come from him than anyone else.
Breana revealed her truth, so did he.
And a few days later, Breana released her biggest hit yet, ‘Diamonds’.
It was about all the people that she adored. Maurice, Gran Gran, Jas, Lee, Naureen, Genn, her family, her team, her friends and fans. How they all inspire her, how they were all priceless to her, beautiful like diamonds in the sky. And it went straight to number 1. And it was then and there that she decided to call her next album, Unapologetic. It was all about being honest and not apologizing for her choices and luckily she wasnt alone, Maurice was doing just that right by her side.

She will want a marriage partner who will support her in every respect. To many men, Pisces is the perfectly feminine woman. She may appear to be a helpless, fluffy person but, once married, she will feel secure, and her reserve of talents and abilities will pour out in every direction.

*October 2012
Breana smiled as she heard the track that The Dream produced, it was perfect, everything that she could ever want in a song. She and The Dream wrote this song about her relationship with Maurice. It was called ‘Nobody’s Business’. It sampled one of Maurice’s favorite Michael Jackson songs,’The Way You Make Me Feel’ and she was too excited to record it with him. Hes been very busy rehearsing for his tour overseas but he found time in his schedule to fly out to her and record. Spend one more night together until he goes overseas. She wanted to go with him, but she had an album to finish and events to perform at such as The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. But she would join him after her album was released.
When it was done, she sent him the track and he texted back that he loved it.
i cant wait to see you tomorrow, she replied
i cant wait either after we’re done i got a surprise for you
yea? gimme a hint
girl u just gotta be patient
make sure to get some rest tonight
you got a long dick ahead of you
i mean day ahead of you, damn autocorrect ;)
Breana burst out laughing as The Dream rolled his eyes playfully, not wanting to know what he said to make her blush like that, these two were too much but he loved working with them. They all have been working together since the beginning.
And when Maurice got in the studio the next day, he insisted that they share the booth as they recorded, singing together at all times, all the while not keeping his hands off of her. It was like recording the Turn Up The Music and Cake remixes earlier that year but more intimate.
Maurice smiled as he stood behind Breana, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind as he sang into the microphone with her:
Your love is perfection
Please point me in the right direction
Imma give you all my affection
Every touch becomes infectious
Lets make out in this Lexus
There’s no other love just like this
A life with you I wonder
Can we becomes love’s persona
You’ll always be the one that
I wanna come home to girl
Let me love you and show you
How special you are
I wanna be your baby
You’ll always be my baby
Tell me what you want
Sing it to the world
Baby give me time
You gone be my girl
I wanna make you mine
And it ain’t nobody’s business
It ain’t nobody’s business
It ain’t nobody business
It ain’t nobody business
Just mine and my baby

Jasmeen
Jasmeen sighed happily as she walked into her condo, her hands were full with her purse, oversized Louis Vuitton bag, mail, and a bag of groceries, so she had to kick the door closed behind her.
Shes been continuing therapy with Heather about her fears of being alone, and they learned, its been controlling her life. As well as her strained relationship with her mom and not forgiving herself for any mistakes she has made has made her do some toxic things.
Shes never lived alone. Not since her roommate dropped out of college after two weeks, leaving her to fend for herself. She soon dropped out after, not being happy with school or the loneliness but soon Breana moved to America and they have been together ever since. Then Mijo, then Trey. Breana has been a crutch, as well as the best friend that anyone can ask for, but she needed her own space. She needed to learn that being alone and having something that she can call hers that no one can take away was good for her.
It was lonely at first. The first night alone in the apartment, she drank a whole bottle of wine by herself and drove to Breana’s mansion. Breana and her bodyguard drove her back just in time so she could pass out. Driving drunk was idiotic and she got a long talking to but she also realized waking up alone wouldnt kill her. She was used to it now. She loved having her own space and she felt invincible overcoming her biggest fears. She didnt need anyone to cling to but herself.
She put her bags and groceries down on the counter and kicked off her flats and turned on the radio in the kitchen immediately. This helped with the silence and she smiled at the special someone who walked into the kitchen.
"Hey there Boo Boo"she said to the Black Labrador that started licking her feet with joy. She picked him up and held him close. He was about 3 months old and he helped not make this condo so lonely either. She fed him and soon she fed herself. She made herself some pasta and a glass of wine. When she was done, she went into her office and started sketching.
She was in meetings all day about River Island and their spring collection that would debut next spring and she got inspired by all the ideas that the team bounced around. With Boo Boo in her lap, she started drawing, a couple hours went by and he was soon asleep in her lap and she was relaxed and content with three sketches finished and a glass of wine to go with that.
There was a knock at her door and she paused, wondering if it was just the music she was playing. The knock came again and she turned down the music as Boo Boo shot out of her lap and ran to the door. She wasnt hearing things. She wasnt expecting anyone. She checked her phone and saw a few texts from Bree and Matt that she hadnt read yet. Ooops she was so caught up that she didnt hear her phone go off.
She walked to the door and picked up Boo Boo as she opened it,”Im sorry I was distracted and didnt see your texts….”she said as she opened the door
However, it wasnt Bree or Matt standing there waiting for an explanation.
It was Mijo.
Boo Boo barked at him and Mijo dangled some keys in his hands and Boo Boo stopped, wanting to play. Jas realized those were her keys.
Mijo
"These were in the door. You still do that?"Mijo asked awkwardly
"Oh yeah…my hands were full when I got home"she said as she put her phone in her pocket and took them from him,"Thanks"
"Thats dangerous. What did I tell you about that? Any nigga can just walk up in here"he said as he looked at Boo Boo. He reached out to pet him and he licked his hand,"Never mind, you got a real guard dog here"
Jas laughed,”His name is Boo Boo-“
"Perfect name for a guard dog-"
"I just got him. You know how long it took to potty train him?"she asked him
"How old is he?"
"He’ll be 4 months in a few weeks. Hes my little baby"Jas said as she pet him. Mijo smiled at her. Boo Boo tried to get out of her grasp, she grabbed a toy from off the floor nearby and threw it and Boo Boo went after it. That will distract him from trying to run out the door. "So um….."
"What am I doing here?"Mijo asked and Jas nodded,"Well I….I miss you. Im gonna be honest. I heard what happened but I dont know exactly what happened. The wedding thing. I wanted to reach out but I didnt know if you two got back together or if you wanted to hear from me at all or what so…I kept my distance. But I always think about you, there isnt a day that goes by that I dont. And lately being around Jake and Maurice, hearing story after story about Bree and Naureen I just…..I miss you. Ok?"he said with a laugh as he shuffled his feet. "So then I threw caution to the wind. I dont have Nissim this weekend. Im not due back in the studio for a few days….lemme see how shes doing. I go to Bree’s and find you have your own place now. Lee said you’re seeing a shrink?"
Jas sighed,”Shes a therapist ok? Im not crazy, shes helping me sort out everything thats happened. Shes someone who isnt biased, that I can talk to”
"Its working. You seem happy"
"I am. It is"Jas said and she smiled, after the wedding fiasco she didnt know if she would ever be happy again
"Its gotta be if you have your own place. I remember you always said you never wanted to live alone"Mijo said. Jas nodded. "Well you’re obviously busy-"
"Im not-"
"You got Beyonce playing in the background, I think I smell candles or it might be your perfume, you got someone here dont you?"
"I dont have anybody…."Jas said,"….here. No ones here"she said,"Did you wanna come in?"she asked him and he nodded and he walked in. Boo Boo bounded down the hall to them and Mijo played with him and threw the squeaky toy down the hall and he disappeared once more
"Hes got a lot of energy"Mijo said with a laugh
"You want a drink? A tour?"she asked him
"Both. What you got?"he asked her. She got him a beer and gave him a quick tour of the place as Boo Boo followed them and then they found themselves back in the kitchen. "That office space you got is nice"
"Its my favorite room. Well besides the bathroom, my bedroom and this kitchen. I love it. The whole place. Bree’s agent did good this time"Jas said as she leaned back against the counter. Her hand brushed something cool and moist and she forgot she had brownies sitting there. She got so caught up with work she forgot she took them out of the oven to cool.
"Watch out"Mijo said as he laughed. She shrugged and licked the chocolate off her hand
"Its good. You want one?"she asked him as she picked up a small piece
"Sure"he said, and naturally she fed it to him. She held the chocolate up to his mouth and smiled as he wrapped his mouth around it and chewed. She then realized what she was doing and stopped, causing him to almost drop it.
"Sorry bad habit I guess"she said. Whenever they used to eat together alone, they always fed each other, not keeping their hands off each other.
"Not a bad habit"Mijo said,"This is still good. I used to get fat off these"
"Used to? Whats making you fat now?"
"Oh you got jokes?"Mijo asked her and smiled. They laughed but soon it turned into an awkward silence as they looked into each other’s eyes. "Um listen, its late. I just wondered how you were doing and I felt like I couldnt sleep tonight if I didnt know you were ok. I mean the only reason Ive been sleeping at all the past few months was by being up Jake’s ass asking him to ask Naureen about you. But I should leave you to your brownies and your little midget dog-"
"You wanna watch a movie?"Jas blurted out
Mijo paused,”Um….you want me to stay?”
"Yeah why not? I got a whole bunch of movies that I havent even unwrapped yet. I got Netflix too. I love it"Jas said
"Uh sure"he said. Jas smiled and she picked up the plate of brownies, poured herself some milk and got Mijo another beer and they walked into the den. He got settled into her leather couch and Boo Boo tried to jump up with them but Jas scolded him quick
"No! No Boo Boo! Down! Stay down"Jas said and Boo Boo whined and laid on the floor
"Awww"Mijo laughed,"Dont be so mean"
"He knows better, this couch was expensive"Jas said,"Hes just showing off cuz I have company"she said. "Hes quiet when its just him and me for the most part. But he loves him some Bree"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah whenever she comes over. I dont know if its something he smells but he goes absolutely crazy when shes around. Jumping on the furniture, barking, humping her leg, he actually cries when she goes. Its so funny"
"Bree has that affect on guys"Mijo joked
"I know right?"Jas joked and picked up the remote,"So what do you want to watch?"she asked as she settled back into the couch and she accidentally laid against him. "Sorry"she said nervously as she looked at him. His face was inches from hers. He got lost in her eyes and he just shook his head
"Its ok"he whispered. Both of them werent thinking about the movie now, being so close brought about so many feelings so quickly, they couldnt say a word. He then reached out and caressed her face and she smiled as she nuzzled her cheek against his hand. She reached out and caressed his cheek, running her finger down to his rose tattoo on his neck. He ran his fingers through her curls, something he missed doing so very much and then he leaned in closer….and closer and closer. Jas blushed and moved her face to the side and he kissed her cheek and then her neck and then he hugged her close. She sighed with relief as she held him, she wrapped her arms around him and breathed in that scent that was all too familiar. One she’ll never forget.
They stayed in that embrace for some time and when she pulled away and kissed his cheek, he leaned in and held her face in his hands and kissed her lips.
Minutes later, the movie was forgotten as clothes were thrown off as he picked her up and led her upstairs to the bedroom. Boo Boo followed them but was locked out of the bedroom. He sat down and whined a little and then started chewing on Mijo’s belt that was laying on the floor. As soon as her back hit the sheets, she wrapped her long limbs around him and made love to him. She never thought that this would happen again but she missed him so much and she was so glad he was here. That he came back to her.
She moaned out as she orgasmed and a tear rolled down her face as he came as well. She nuzzled her face against his as she ran her fingers through his hair,”I love you”she said to him
"I love you Jas"he said to her
They were inseparable after that. When they had time, he would come by her place or she would come to his. They talked about everything they had been through and what was next for them. But they were focused on doing everything right this time.
They sat on her bed one day as they looked out the window as they held each other’s hand. “So…we’re gonna go through with this again yeah?”he asked her
She nodded,”Yes”
"6 months"
"6 months"she said
"Vegas"
"Vegas"she said back
"We make it officially official and for now, we’re gonna work hard til we get there"
"And after"
"And after"he agreed as he looked at her
"In 6 months we’ll be together"she said
"No backing down"
"No backing down"she said,"We gotta be strong. Kick ass. Wonder Woman strong"
"Superman strong"Mijo corrected her and she laughed
They sat there in silence and Mijo let out a huge breath. He realized he had been holding it in. They were making a promise now and in 6 months time they were going to fulfill it. He was scared. He was in love and he was vulnerable and he knew that if anything went wrong, he wouldnt be able to take it. It was risky but so was love. So was life. Jas grabbed his chin and smiled at him,”Hey, we can do this. Im scared too”
Mijo leaned in and kissed her,”Ok”
"Ok"she said simply
* February 2013
The last 6 months for Breana and Maurice was a whirlwind. ‘Unapologetic’ was her first number one album in the US and it was also number one in numerous countries at the same time. Maurice’s album was selling strong and with his tour overseas, sales skyrocketed. Breana toured with him for a few days and soon flew back. When he came back to the States, he was either with Breana or in the studio. He was thinking about making another album and releasing it next summer.
They spent as much time together as they could. After they recorded ‘Nobody’s Business’, his surprise was to go out and get tattoos together, like they used to. She got another Egyptian inspired tattoo, Isis, on her chest, right under her breasts as an ode to Gran Gran. He got a jet in the same spot on his chest, it was a reminder that everything in life was fleeting. And this life that he was living took off so quickly at times. Weirdly enough, he was proud of his life so far. For once, and the jet also reminded him to be the opposite. Though he was on top of the world, it reminded him to stay grounded, stay himself.
He then surprised her at her Halloween party in LA, showing up with his boys dressed up as Arabs. She was a Weed Bride, wearing a green wedding dress with weed leaves on it that Jas made for her. She also flew to Virginia to spend Thanksgiving with him and his family.
They spent Christmas in LA with her family. He even took her to the Lakers game and they sat courtside, drinking beer and eating popcorn after showering her with gifts. She flew to Barbados to open the new hospital named after Gran Gran, its something she has been working on since the Oprah interview and it was great to see Grandpa in brighter spirits. She then spent New Years in Miami and stayed in Diddy’s mansion like old times. They took many instagram photos together and fans of the couple couldnt get enough. Maurice even went so far as to make tshirts with the two of them on it, calling it the ‘Nobody’s Business Tee’, they sold out in less than 30 minutes.
But what shocked everyone was them sitting together at the Grammy’s looking like a Hallmark card for Valentine’s Day.
She wore a red dress that Jas designed and he wore a white Armani suit. They sat together in front row and the cameras couldnt stop filming them as they sat together laughing and smiling with their arms around each other as they enjoyed the music. You couldnt deny their love. They promised they would come out as a couple years ago at the Grammy’s and they finally got their wish and when Breana sang ‘Stay’ with Mikky Ekko, which was her next number one hit besides ‘Diamonds’, everyone in the room knew she was only singing to him and for him. Though Maurice didnt win any Grammy’s that night, he and everyone else knew that he had the best prize in the room.
Even Jay-Z.
Jay and Breana patched up their relationship after the Oprah interview as well. He had a daughter too and he would break necks if anyone propositioned Blue like he did Bree. He apologized and deleted the sextape and ripped up the contract that she had signed that fateful day. Though this was her last album on his contract he hoped that she would renew it. That she was still thinking about, deciding not to release an album this year but focus on fashion endeavors with Jas.
Jay-Z
Maurice was surprised as he approached him and dapped him up. “Congrats on the nominations”
"Thanks. Congrats on your wins. Hows Bey and the baby?"
"They’re good. Blue is one year old already, can you believe it?"Jay asked and Maurice smiled. He then put his hand on his shoulder. "Look, we went through a rough patch. A very rough patch but its obvious that she loves you. And its obvious you love her. So Ima step back and let you do you"Jay said,"Just dont hurt her"
"Never"Maurice said, surprised that Jay was letting bygones be bygones
"If you’re in New York, holla at me"Jay said as he dapped him up and then walked off. Bree soon walked up to him, by the look on his face, she didnt know if the conversation went good or bad
"You ok? What happened? What did he say? I told him to be nice, he promised-"
"Its all good. We good. I should hit him up next time Im in Manhattan"he said and Bree kissed him excitedly
A few weeks later, they spent her 25th birthday in Hawaii. She was even nice enough to let Red and Hood and Maurice’s other boys come along. She didnt get along with Red but she would try for Maurice. She filled up her Instagram with birthday photos of the two of them as well as pics of her family and friends. It was the best birthday ever, for once she truly felt like she could have both. Love and success.
After a relaxing weekend in Hawaii, she flew back to LA to rehearse for her Diamonds World Tour. She would be touring the States until May and then spend the summer abroad as she toured internationally until August. It would be another test for her and Reece to be without each other for so long but they promised they would make it work as they shared a blunt on the beach.
It was a few nights before opening night for her tour and Maurice had a surprise for her. But she had to go to Vegas to get it. It was ridiculous but she couldnt help but swoon as she boarded the private jet and flew to meet him. He met her at the airport and he gave her a big kiss when she got in the limo with him. “I missed you”
"I missed you more"he said to her. "You look nice"he said as he looked at her white Chanel suit she was wearing with pearls
"You dont look too bad yourself"she said as she ran her fingers down his arm, he was wearing all white and had a silver nose ring. "What are you so dressed up for?"
"You’ll see"he said
Her phone rang and she looked at it and was shocked to see that Drake was calling but she ignored it as he put a white handkerchief around her eyes. “Seriously?”
"I dont want you to see until we get there"he insisted and she obliged him. He fed her strawberries and whipped cream and drank champagne as they rode to their destination and when she felt the limo pull to a stop, she literally started shaking with anticipation.
"Take it off"she whined
"Your clothes?"
"The blindfold!"she said with a laugh
"Ok, ready? One, two, three"he said as he took off the blindfold and she gasped when she saw that they were outside a wedding chapel. She saw Jasmeen, Mijo, Genn, Blake, Lee and Wale standing outside. She saw Naureen, who was ready to drop any day now, and Jake walking toward the group as everyone swooned over her pregnant belly. Bree smiled as she watched them, she couldnt wait to be a godmother. She realized that they were all wearing white too…
"What are they doing here?"she asked in shock
"I called them all out here to celebrate"he said and then his phone started ringing, he checked his phone and saw that it was Kae and he put it on silent.
"Celebrate what? Who’s getting married?"she asked excitedly
"Guess we’ll find out wont we?"Maurice asked as he got out the limo. Breana paused as she sat inside,"Come on, do you trust me?"he asked her as he reached his hand out to her
She looked at the chapel and her best friends as they waved at her to come on and then back at him. “Of course I do”she said as she took his hand and got out the limo…
