I could still feel her body on me from the Helicopter ride.. I tried not to stare at her so hard. But damn, it was hard.. especially when her sweet scented perfume was lingering in my mind and her being near me didn't help..

We stepped off the elevator into Taraji's Pint House, it was lit.. everyone was there.. I'm talking from Jamie Foxx on down to Mekhi Phifer..

I looked over at Reign who was looking around smiling.. seeing her smile made all of this even better..

Taraji came around the corner greeting us..

"I'm glad y'all could make it! Y'all look great.."

She said hugging us and walking up to Reign..

"You're beautiful! Who is this Bry? You didn't tell me about her.. You never bring anyone around me.."

"Um you just assume that's his.. How you know she's not here with me as my date or we not all just cool.."

Jussie said holding out his hands..

"Boy please get on outta here.. we all know what's going on here Juss.. get out my face.."

"Okay I'll leave but I'll be back for you baby.."

Jussie said blowing Reign a kiss..

"Why is he like this.. Just why?"

Reign said laughing than embracing Taraji..

"It is such an honor to meet you! I'm such a stan for you.. Your Pint House is AMAZING! I'm blown away at everything, it's so beautiful in here.."

"Thank you sweetheart.. girl my assistant did all of this for me.. Bry?"

She said snapping at me as I began to drift off, my mind was racing with many things..

"Oh, Huh?"

"Oh, Huh? Nigga I asked you a question.. are you gonna introduce me to your sexy ass company.."

"My bad momma T.. this is Reign.. She's been ever so gracious as to accompany me and Jussie to this party of yours.."

I said looking over at her admiring her in that dress..

"Gracious is an understatement.. if you were smart you would be trying to make her your date before I snatch her up.."

Taraji said nudging my shoulder..

"That's the plan.."

I said winking at her..

"Ms. Henson I love your dress you look great! I feel underdressed.."

Reign said pulling at her dress..

"Girl please, you see what Bry got on.. look around you.. Welcome to the house of crazy! You see what Jamie's crazy ass over there wearing.."

We both looked over her shoulders and seen him sliding across the floor in his boxers and a tie..

"Oh no.. Not again DAMMIT!"

I said shaking my head..

"Who keeps letting him come around?"

"The same zoo keeper that let you out now get off up in here.. Y'all come on up in here.. Get you some drinks.. Eat whatever you like.. it's so much to get into.. Have fun, enjoy yourself.. Make yourself at home"

Taraji said looking back at us..

"Thank you Ms. Henson.."

Reign said smiling

"Girl please! Call me Taraji.. The fact that Bryshere brought you over here means you mean something special.. come see me if y'all need anything I'm bout to go whoop Morris in dominos.."

"Morris as in Morris Chesnut!?"

Reign asked with big eyes..

"No girl Morris Day.. Chestnuts drunk ass left here about an hour ago! He always wanna start talking about how he working on 'Best Man 3'... and how he has more to the world to offer than just Ricky.. as usual I had to send his ass home.. all these years people been gassing him up with thoughts that he's sexy and he really thinks it's true.."

I looked over at Reign who was cracking up at Taraji..

After officially meeting Taraji I felt so much better.. I was having so much fun I didn't check my phone, not once..

Bryshere was such a gentleman..

He was everything I wanted in Julius and never got in public..

He was funny, sweet, and protective of me..

But laid back at the same time..

He made sure I was good on drinks..

He introduced me to everyone..

I met so many people!

Mary J... So many I can't think, I was definitely fanning out for sure..

But I was keeping cool..

They were all just normal folks having a good ass time and really down to earth..

I seen people I didn't even expect..

"Yo Bryshere is that Bill Nye the Science guy over there?"

He laughed..

"Oh snap! I haven't seen Bills crazy ass since we all got drunk and made the world's biggest homemade volcano on the roof top three parties ago.."

He said shaking his head..

"Sooo, that's what you celebrities do, go around making science projects getting drunk.. I done heard it all.. Y'all wild man!"

I said trying to hold my laugh in my stomach was hurting from laughing all night long...

"No he wild so watch out for him... I'ma go check on your roses and make sure he ain't tryna do some weird shit with them I'll be back.. Mingle, have fun.."

I smiled nodding as he walked away..

I looked over at Jussie and Gabourey Sidibe sitting closely around on the piano..

I laughed, I see them living their best life's..

I turned to my right and noticed her balcony was empty and open so I went outside to get some fresh air.. I had to take in this night.. it was definitely one in a million..

No matter what, I never wanted to forget this night..

I was feeling good looking out at the night sky..

It was such a lovely sight to see...

"Damn this is so breath taking"

I said to myself...

"It's nice, I have to admit but it can't compare to you.."

I smiled facing him..

"And just exactly what are you getting at?"

"You.. I wanna be getting at you, with all due respect.. I wanna get to know you.. Can we talk.."

"Why you wanna get to know me?.."

"Why you say it like that, who wouldn't wanna get to know you Ms. Reign.. I mean but seeing you is not even half the battle.. I wanna know anything you want me to know Reign.."

"Well let's talk than"

I said sitting as he sat down by me..

"I don't know where to start.."

He smiled looking back up into the sky..

"Well what's your favorite color?"

"Really? That's the question you ask.. You're so corny.."

"I know, it's a gift and a curse.."

I laughed..

"I would have to say pearl white.. You?"

"Red.. I'm a basic!"

He said again snapping..

"I don't think your basic.."

I said smiling looking down..

"Neither are you.. I wanna know so much about you.. Where you from? What is it that you do? What's your dreams?"

He said nudging me..

"Well I'm originally from Grenada that's where my parents met.. but I grew up in Austin Texas.. I'm a journalist and I do a little modeling here and there nothing to major.. Journalism is my first love.. and everything I could ever dream is happening right before my eyes.."

"Is that right..

damn you got it all..

I mean everything is about you is heavenly..."

"It really isn't.. What about you?"

"Well I was born and raised in Philly.. I'm an actor but my first love is music.. it's all a big bore.. I wanna hear more about Reign.. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking..?"

"Nah not at all.. I will never understand why women get so mad when guys ask that.. I'm 23.. um I don't have any kids so I guess that's a good things.."

He laughed..

"I love music too.. I wish I could lay out on the floor all day and listen to music.. that's my real dream.. I mean, I'm just me.. I'm pretty chill.. I can be a bit nerdy at times.. and I can throw down in the kitchen.."

"I'll have to keep that music dream of yours in mind.. So you can cook huh?"

"Can't you tell?"

"Don't do that.. don't say that! What you insinuating about yourself? That because you're a tad bit thick you automatically know how to cook? That's wack.. don't play yourself out like that..

your banging ass body ain't got nothing to do with chef skills girl.. have you seen my dad? He a toothpick about to blow away in the wind and he can cook his ass off..."

I smiled.. I like the way he handled me..

"Well yeah.. That part. But I mean I am a pretty good cook.."

I said looking away..

"Your ex is a silly ass nigga.."

"Why you say that?"

I asked watching his facial expression..

"Cause a nigga like me would never let you forget how special you were.. How beyond words you look.. you wouldn't need to get all dolled up and fancy for me to let you know that either.."

"It's funny.. usually I would get onto you for being corny but for somehow I feel like what your saying isn't you just tryna spit game.."

"Reign, I really do have a big heart.. no matter what people make me out to be.. I don't spit game ever.. that's lame and dead.. I see what I want and I take it.."

He said looking me in my eye

OMG! did this Nigga just eye fuck me in some weird but at the same time sexy and romantic, old school Teddy Pendergrass kind of way..

"You see what you want and you take it huh.. So your a thief huh?"

He laughed..

"Ha, You funny. Nah.. I'm a go getta.. Goo getta..."

Damn his mellow charming ways...

"Oh so you a go getta now?"

"Always.. Reign I have to be honest with you.. I like you already, I mean I liked you when I first seen you at Oceans.. it's weird, I mean I don't want to creep you out or nothing it's just I was in a relationship for a year and I didn't feel half the way I felt about her in 4 months, then I do with you in this moment.."

"Why?"

"I got with her because it was cool at first, you know I thought we could maybe be something greater later.. I was in my Mack daddy mode.. but as time passed I started to realize I was only with her to make my parents happy.. and shut up those dumb ass blogs.. I wasn't happy with her.. she didn't even like me being on set.. and that's how I grind.."

"Damn she sounds worser than Julius.."

"And to top it all off I over heard her say she only wanted me and my parents money.."

"Damn.."

I said looking out into the night sky..

"Welp I guess you know what that means.."

"Yup.. our ex's are both trifling.."

He said shaking his head

"Nah.. it means we both ugly.."

He bust out laughing

"Pffff.. what you mean girl?"

"Well your ex girl only wanted your money and my ex guy didn't wanna be seen with me in public so there's only one solution.."

He shook his head..

"Damn THAAAS CRAZY.. I been tryna avoid it for the longest but I guess I gotta face it.. I am ugly my g.."

I bust out laughing..

"Don't laugh you on the same boat.."

He said pointing over at me..

"Nah you sailing on the boat alone.. there's different levels to being ugly.."

"Oh really? I didn't realize they started adding levels to ugliness.. When they do that?"

He said blinking..

"Enlighten me please.. soooo there are different levels to being ugly?"

"Yup and your the highest level, which is the ultimate ugly... I'm on a lower, much lower scale.. I'm talking the lowest level"

"What a wonderful logic.. I almost started to take you seriously for a second.."

I hit his shoulder..

"Whatever.. can I tell you something without you judging me?"

"You can tell me anything.."

"I was high as a kite when you picked me up earlier.. but then when we got on that helicopter it went ALL THE WAY AWAY.."

He laughed..

"Oh word? You smoked the Mary Jane before I came through.."

"Why you call it that like an old person? And yes.. to take off some edge.."

"You so damn sexy.."

I cleared my throat..

When we heard the music cut off..

"Alright you muthafucka's up in here no more turn up music we gone slow it down.. so grab you a tender roni and let's get it going!!!"

Taraji said on the mic as the music came back on..

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I was swaying back and fourth.. I loved this song by Dreezy..

I looked up at Bryshere who had his hand out..

"You tryna get down sexy lady?"

"Boy! If you don't get chooo.."

I said laughing.. but I looked in his face and could tell he was serious..

"Yes I would love to..."

I said taking his hand..

He walked me back inside to the middle where the lights were low and everybody was slow dancing..

"I hope you know how to do this.. because this is my first time doing something like this.."

Julius never danced with me.. and I didn't go to prom..

"You never slow danced before?.."

He said looking at me as I shook my head no..

"Well let me show you how a man's suppose to make you feel.."

He grabbed me by my waist with his right hand and pulled me close.. He grabbed my right hand with his left and guided me.. as we swayed with the Rhythm.. Anything inside of me that was once timid and shy went away.. I began to feel so comfortable feeling my body so close to his..

I jumped when He caressed my back..

"You good?"

He ask pulling back looking down at me..

I smiled coming back closer to him laying my head on his chest..

"Never been better.."

I was lost in his smell.. in his charm.. in his baritone.. in the way he moved.. We were in a room full of people and somehow I felt like it was just us two..

Then slow jams kept flowing in..

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Soon after the music died down I looked around and the room was still, everyone started to leave..

I looked at Bryshere as we pulled away from each other..

Jussie was sitting on the piano with his drink..

"Yo where everybody at?"

Bryshere asked Jussie looking around..

"After party at Bills.."

He said smirking at us and shrugging his shoulders..

"Oh lord not that again.. where momma T?"

Bry said looking around..

"She went with them.. She said we're welcome to stay.. You know where the guest rooms are.. and to call her assistant 3 floors down if we needed anything.."

"Well.."

They both said turning to me..

"Huh?"

I said looking back at them..

"You ready to go? Or do you want to stay.."

Bryshere asked me..

"So the parties over just cause everyone left?"

I asked..

"Uh YEAH.. pretty much and I'm taking my tipsy black ass to bed.. Taraji talking bout some guest room.. Shiit! I bet I crawl up in her bed and sleep comfortably.. Good night y'all.."

Jussie said dismissing us and leaving ..

I laughed

"Goodnight Juss.."

Waving at him..

"He's a whole ass mess.."

"Always.. So what you wanna do?"

He said extending his arms..

"I'm down for whatever.."

"Oh yeah.. We'll see about that.. hold up I gotta go grab something.. make yourself comfortable have a seat anywhere.."

I sat down on her huge big comfortable couch..

He came back looking all goofy..

"What you up to? Why you looking all suspicious.."

"No reason.."

He said sitting across from me..

He grabbed my feet..

I snatched back..

"Boy what the hell!"

"Chill let me take off your hills so you can relax... I got you.."

"Nah.. I don't think you understand I got toes that look like alligators and porcupines dancing in the rain.. You don't wanna see these frito lays bunions.."

I said cracking up..

"Ha.. chill out.. your feet ain't that bad.."

"Okay But I warned you.."

"Psshhh.."

He said throwing his arm up brushing me off and grabbing my right foot to take off the hill..

He jumped all the way back and fell out on the floor..

"Help MEH PLEA! HELP MEH PLEA!! I'm dying!!!"

I was cracking up..

"Boy shut up my feet ain't that bad.."

"Shiiit!!! You need to keep them hills on forever, that's what you need to do!"

I put back on my hill pouting..

"That's messed up cuzz! I warned you.."

"Comere'.."

He said grabbing my hand and pulling me close
