************Two Weeks Later************* I was sleepy peacefully until I was disturbed by the ringing of my phone. I didn't realize it was almost one o'clock and here I was laid out on a Saturday morning. "Hello?" "Yes this is Cindy right?" "Yes this is." "Whenever you're ready you can come to my office. The money is ready and can be picked up today."

I bolted upright. "Okay, I'll be there around three or four." "Great. I'll be here." "Thanks. Bye." I got up and called Vickie.

"Hello?" "Vickie! I'm going to get my money today. Do you think you can give me a ride?" "Yeah sure, I'm so happy for you. When will you be ready?" "Give me an hour." I said as I hung up and ran to the shower.

I took a quick shower, got dressed, then made something to eat. By the time I was done, Vickie's Impala was pulling into the driveway. I walked out the door and climbed into the passenger's seat ofthe car. I leaned over and hugged Vickie tightly. "I'm so excited, Vickie," I said over-enthusiasctically. "I can see," she laughed.

"I need to start looking for places to live so I don't have to be bothered with Evilene." "I feel you. So where exactly is his office?" "Uptown near the news studio."

"Alright." She started driving in that direction. Once we got there, I pointed out the building and we went inside. Vickie and the money man shook hands and got right down to business when we got to his office.

"Okay so there's one more paper you need to sign before I had over all the money to you." He handed me the form and Vickie took it out my hand. "Let me check this out first." She examined the paper top to bottom and checked for extra fine print. "Excuse me, but it says here that you get fifty percent of the cut." She exclaimed. "Well yes that's how it works and I-" "No...no it's not. I was a buisness major in college and I can tell you right now this is wrong. This is her money and you're trying to take advantage of a minor." "Well see I-" "No, I'm going to get my lawyer on this one. Come on Cindy." Vickie grabbed my hand and she stormed out the office with the paper in her hand. When we got on the elevator I just had to ask. "Vickie what was that about?" "Look he's taking your money sweetie. You deserve all of this and you need to have a lawyer look over this." "But I can't afford a lawyer." "Oh I got you on this one sweetie. In the end you're going to have his money and your money. This ain't right." When I thought about it all, I couldn't really be mad at Vickie for looking out for me. Maybe this was a sign that my life really isn't supposed to change. It just seems like the closer I think I get to the treasure the farther away I am in actuality.

When we got back to Vickie's car, she called her lawyer. I wasn't really listening to their conversation; I was too engrossed on what was going on across the street. I opened the car door and got out. "Cindy, where are you-" I cut Vickie off. "I'll be right back." I walked across the street to get a better view of what I hoped I wasn't seeing. "Merce?" I called out. He turned around with a huge smile on his face, but the smile quickly disappeared when he noticed who I was. The chick he was recently sucking face with looked away from the baby in her arms and at me.

"Seriously?" I asked. "And who is this Merce?" I'm guessing it was his baby mother, said with attitude. "Its not even what you think." He said. "So since you can read minds now I'm sure you read that it's over right?"

"Hold up, Cindy." "For what? I don't have anything to say to you." "Just listen for a minute. You're jumping to conclusions." "I'm jumping to- You know what, Merce? I'm not mad about the fact that you're with this broad right now. I'm mad because I asked several times if you had kids, baby mamas or anything of the sort, and you went off on me like I was wrong."

"You right, but this time is different." "How? Oh wait this time you were slobbering all down the throat of another female. You can save your breaths for her because I don't give a damn any more I'm done. Finished." I said while sashaying away. "Cindy!" Merce was coming down behind me, but I didn't even turn around.

"Cindy, wait!" I got back into the car, and Vickie drove off. "What was that about?" she asked. "Who was that guy?" "Merce, this dude I was hanging with for a short period of time."

"He looks familar." "You've probably seen him at the restaurant that's all." I wasn't really mad because I had proof of everything he didn't tell me. I was just disappointed that after I clearly caught him he wanted to lie about it.

"Okay. My lawyer said he can meet with us immediately. We're gonna meet up with him at my house." "Can you talk to him without me? I'm kind of beat right now." "You sure?" "Yeah, I trust you. Just drop me at off at home." When she pulled into my driveway, I was in the house before she could even stop good. I went into my room and laid on my bed.

I really wanted to call Tracey and tell him everything but I knew he wouldn't help. Sometimes Tracey would overreact in times like these so I knew that wasn't a good idea. The worst part about this all was that tonight was the Trey Songz concert. I had to get ready so when I meet Trey I wouldn't be looking a hot mess.
------------A Few Hours Later-------------- I had on a tight form fitting black dress that stopped mid thigh with a distressed jean vest with sikes on the collar. I wore my Jordan 4's with my red lipstick. I was going for a casual yet cute look. I curled my long Remi weave up and put it in a side pony tail and grabbed my spiked clutch. I got a Hummer and chaffeaur for this occasion. The driver picked my up down the street and I made sure I had my tick and VIP pass around my neck before heading to Tracy's house. He came out in the tightest black jeans on. He wore a white v neck shirt and black glittery Toms. His hair curly and his lip gloss was definately popping. He got in the truck and I handed him his pass. "Oh doll you look fine." He said. "Thanks you too." The concert was about an hour away in the next town over. The drive was quick mainly, because Tracey and I were practicing all the songs for the concert. When we got there we pulled up in front of the VIP entrance. There were screaming fans every where and police to keep people from trying to sneak in. When we stepped out Tracey and I were looking fabulous. We walked to the door and they checked our passes before we went through security. We got in and before the concert we had a meet and greet with the backup dancers and musicians. Of course Tracey was telling everyone his whole name just in case he got famous. About fifteen minutes before the show we were escorted to our seats in the front row. I was going to see Trey Songz I couldn't believe it either. "One minute until show time." The announcer said over the speaker. Tracey and I looked at each other grinning from ear to ear. Then the stage filled with fog and the strobe lights flashed. Trey then started rising up onto the stage with just his jeans and no shirt on. Tell the DJ turn it up, bet the DJ bring it back Tell em play that shit again, tell em that you like that like that Oh Trey's voice echoed through the whole building as T.I. came out. The crowd went wild when Trey started singing. I was screaming as loud as I could. Tracey and I had walked up to the stage in the middle of the concert and when Trey touched Tracey's hand he damn near passed out. The girls were cryings, faiting, and chessing as hard as they could. "Imma need a girl up here. Who wants to come up" Trey asked as he scanned the front row. "How about you?" He said pointing to me. "Go up there girl." Tracey said pushing me forward. I got on stage and Trey started dancing and grinding around me. I couldn't stop smiling. Then he got up close to me and kissed me on the neck. I was then put into a chair where Trey serenaded me before kissing me right on the lips. I seriously almost passed out right then. After the concert was over Tracey and I got in line for our meet and greet. Everybody in line would first take pictures with Trey and he would autograph anything you wanted. Then you would go and grab all the autographed stuff he gave us like tshirts, posters, and cup. When it was my turn Trey smiled and he hugged me as I took a picture. "You know it seems like something is bothering you. Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah thanks for asking." "Here I want you to come to the after party." He said handing me a piece of paper with the information on it. "My friend too?" "Yeah yall cool. See you there." He said before Tracey and I went to get all our sighed gifts. I called the chaffeaur and he came to pick us up. I gave him the address for the after party we were really early, but Tracey and I weren't the only one's there. There was a line wrapping all around the building. So I took a chance and went straight to the door with my piece of paper. Suprisingly we were let right in. The after party was amazing. There were a couple celebrities there and it was just elegant. After a couple of hours of exploring and meeting people Trey finally caught up to me. "Wassup thanks for coming." He said coming over to me and hugging me. "Thanks, this place is nice." "Enjoy yourself." He started walking away then came back. "What's your name?" "It's Cindy." "Cindy...I like that." He smiled before walking away.

I turned around at Tracey and smiled, but he didn't smile back. He was mugging the heck out of me. "What, Trace?" "You know you're dead wrong for that. Trigga is supposed to be my boo. Now I can't be with him because ya'll are dating." "What?! We are not dating, Tracey. Stop it." "So, I can have him?" "If he wants you, then go for it. I doubt that he's gay, though."

"Well as of today things will change." Tracey walked away to find his "baby daddy." I grabbed a virgin daquriri and sat down just to people watch.

A bunch of stars were in the building. There was Usher, Ne-Yo, Jay-Z, Ashanti, Beyonce, and Keyshia Cole, to name a few. I was about to test my luck and approach one of them, but Tracey came back before I could. "Where your boo at?" I asked. "Girl, his security guards turned me around before I could get to him."

"Well that sucks. You ready?" "Yeah I'm getting a little tired now." I called up our chaffeaur and we left the after party.

Instead of going straight home, I decided to chill at Tracey's house for a few hours. When we got there, his dad, Charles, greeted me with a hug, then looked at Tracey and shook his head. "Well, hello to you too, Daddy," Tracey said sassily. "What? Are you not liking my ensemble?" Charles simply walked away.
