Brought To You By Eco Vee Collections
Hmm what do you think?
I think
We need to buy a country and make you it's queen
Because this dress is royal wedding level
Amazing
Thank you
Luckily, Tracy and i are the same size
Poor thing too sick for a final fitting
I just hope her Fiancee doesn't stop by
Because he might change his mind about who
He wants to marry
You really should consider doing a whole line of gowns
Not just special requests
You live and breathe bride
I know
Maybe
But i don't wanna used up all my good ideas
Before my big day
Uhh, A new one! Already
I kinda get it
Looks like the cute boy who turns out to be a vampire
In a teen movie
She's still down Yeah
I'm down
Are you?
It was my idea
I'm ready whenever you are
With you, being my boss and all
Christina, you have crossed the line, so many times
We could play Hop-Scotch in here
So out with it
Me and Gabe are gonna have a threesome
It's my first one and i'm really excited
Ok, that is alot of information and alot of people in one bed
Please, use protection
If you would've just keep experimenting with your own sex life
Like you did with Sharon Love
You'd be less uptight
Back me up, Omar
Yeah, she definitely smile more
But just because i'm a gay man doesn't mean i'm an Automatic freak
I smile!
I smile all the time
Whaddya call this
If you ask me, Sex is meant to be between a man and a man
not a man and a man, and another man
Besides
i work, too hard on this body for it not to be the center of attention
You know, it is bad enough that when you sleep with someone
You sleep with everyone that they ever slept with
But if one of those everyones is right there, eww
eww
You get more exquisite everytime i see you
Thank you Jerry it's the cocoa butter
Hmph
mmm
Hi Hi

Yes, i'm calling to confirm that Dallas is coming to Reed Durem's show
at Halo
Ok, uh huh, hopefully we'll see him there, thanks
huh, What's up West
April, what's time my photoshoot for entertainment weekly
11:00am Hmm
What suit ya think, i should wear? Which one do you like?
I like the grey suit with the pink shirt, I'll wear
I'll wear the black one with the blue shirt, what else is on my
schedule
You're having lunch meeting with Rihanna's people and then
You're back here to listen to new music and
Approve mixes
By the way, I've been meaning to give you your props
Reed has a radio hit Who would've thought
Plus i heard the new demo he sounds like a new man
I mean, i do not know what you've been giving him at night
But it's working
What's that suppose to mean?
If you're gonna be so damn sensitive
then you're business
Point is, He's hot
And i wanna log him on a 360 deal
A 360 Deal, Wes Come on
In his stage of career do you really think thats fair
What i think is, that its Damn good business
Unpredictable guy like that Who knows if we have another hit
But this way, if he ever does a movie or gets a clothing line
Or a cologne, at least i get a piece of something
Instead of all nothing
West, April you better get
On board on this
And make sure he's signs a new deal
Because if you don't, you won't get promoted to ANR
I had assumed that if i got his album finish
That i would be getting promoted anyway
Everytime i get to finish you move it
Do you want me to finish his album
Or get him to sign a new deal
I want you to do both
And i want you to do it with a
little limp as possible
Ok
Yes, sir
I understand that the other real estate agents
You've been talking to have more experience
But i guarentee you I'm the right person
To get this listings because i understand
that the market has not rebounded
It's just starting to stabilize
To get the price, you want for your house
We need to sell the buyers on the area
The school district

In the back room of my salon again
It is making my clients and staff very uncomfortable
I've asked them to leave but they won't listen

Hey babe
Hi
Are you on your way to work
Uh, I wish
Finance are pulled out now, they're not even gonna
Build the condos
Its construction for ya
yes
So, what you're gonna do owh
aaah, i was hoping that i could crash at your place
At least, until i figure it out
I dont wanna be stressed about rent or

of course
as long as you need
Thank you, Honey
God, i really appreciate it alright, i'm goona go pack
And i will see you tonight, ok
Got it
That
Is a beautiful man
Ain't he
What happen to Vincent
I don't care to talk about that slut
Owh
Ok, so
Back to this one
Who is he and why you're letting him move in
His name is Derek and did you see him
Still i'm missing something
Remember when i told you i ran into my first love
At a Prince concert two weeks ago
That was Derek
He's had some bad luck recently and
As fate would have it
I have been there to help
No wonder, you were late three times this week
I'm surprised, you made it in at all
Yeah, we've been rekindling our old flame
It's like we never lost touch
Now we can't stop touching
That is a great story
But still moving in together
Is a really big step
Not to mention, dont you think it's kinda fast
Yeah
But love wont let me wait
And we're picking up exactly where we lefted off
When we were 17
Absolutely nothing is change we have a perfect relationship
Oh Omar
What's it like
I could easily get use to this every night
Really
Why
Because you're very special lady
And you make me so happy
I know, it may seem a little soon
to talk about our future
but when i saw you this morning
In that wedding dress i thought
Now is a good time as any
wow
Uh, ok
Wow
Valerie
I'm fallen for you
And i dunno if you're quite there yet but
I'm certain
That i don't wanna grow old without you
Jerry
I'm falling for you too
I couldn't ask for a more wonderful man
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world
I'm so glad you you feel that way
Now
I've been thinking about this long and hard
And i need to share with you
Decisions that i made years ago
About marriage Kids
I only bring this up now
Because earlier i saw the look in your eye
That said, you really wanna get married one day
Yeah
If, not today or anything
But
Yes, eventually
Well
I've been married three times
But i was also been divorced three times
After last one, i decided
I couldn't endure another unhappy ending
And since i already have four children
I think i'm done in that area as well
Now, I know you goin in your mind
But, hear me out
If you're willing to share your life with me
I love to share mine with you forever
I promise to always love you
And to be true to you
I just
Dont wanna get married again anymore
Never
Talk to me Valerie
Is this a deal breaker
I dont know
It's alot to digest
I'm gonna need some time think about it
You take all the time you need
I'll be here
Guess i'd better cleared the table
I am convinced
That there a forces in the universe
That are conspiring to rob me of my moment
I'm not gonna let it happen
I get that you weren't expecting this
But really why you're so upset
what am i upset for
I finally meet the perfect guy
Smart
Generous
Treats me like a queen
But his idea of a big proposal
Is to never propose
It's a conspiracy
No, the conspiracy is in the idea that marriage
is the BS and dull of every relationship
It's not
Yeah, You're putting way too much emphasis
On the fantasy of marriage and not enough on the
fact that he's offering you the happily ever after
But isn't that like
Going to the olympics and saying you don't care a few medals
Marriage is the pinnacle of dating
It's relationship gold
Marriage is for fool's gold
And if you want my 2 cents
You already have gold wih jerry, she's right Val
People have big beautiful lavish ceremony all the time
And end up miserable
as soon as everyone goes home
Oh, come on Keisha
Are you saying you don't wanna marry Malcom
I'm saying i don't have a problem if he never ask
I'm just happy being with him
So whatever form that commitment takes
Its cool with me
I don 't need a wedding for that
You seem to be forgetting
The small issue of me wanting
to have children
Girl, please if you want a baby
With jerry
You can get a bsby Maybe
But i don't just want a baby
I've been dreaming about getting married since i was six
I had that same dream
But i can tell you first hand divorce is hell
I'm not sure if i ever want to get married again
Maybe you're right
Maybe, i am just too caught up in an idea
Now you think plus
If you don't get married
Then April don't have to wear ugly bridesmaid dresses
Who wants more wine ooh ooh
Then you better run to the store
because i'm killing the rest of this
Sorry i'm so late
Val, really need to talk
Everything's ok emhm
I hope so
So how did you're a
the meeting go today did you get the listing
I showed up looking this and then i was me
What do you think
Uh, Congratulations Thank you
Aright, Now listen babe
I know you must have some questions about earlier
But for starters, i had no clue Ashley was coming by this morning
Malcom, Im so not worried about that
I don't wanna check up on you
and there's no need to explain
I trust you
But since you bought it up
I knew that was too easy
Yea, if it helps
My plan was to let it go
But since she can't seem to let you go
Let's hear it Ok
You already know that Ashley and i started dating
back in business school
But after a few months, we wanted to get married
I didnt feel the same way so i broke it off
But she worked her way back in
In a sense
You see, i knew my pops needed capital to compete the Jacobs
of the jewelry world
no one was buying his little classic pieces anymore, they wanted big bling
What does this have to do with Ashley
I meet with alot of investors but they all fell through
so i finally asked Ashley if she would get her father to give me a loan
You got money like that
Like you wouldn't believe, he was big time in this shipping industry
Dude, had a gazillion dollars at the time
So did, she get it for you
She said she would
but only if, i married her
Damn
She wanted you bad
And i figured what the hell
I mean, there were worst things i could do to help out my pops
so i basically used her to expand Frank's Jewels
And eventhough i paid her father back, her family
never forgave her for marrying a low-class black man
He didn't know you two dating were dating when he gave you the loan
No, he thought i was just a friend
Woah
Have they forgiven her now
No
They will never forgive her, so i
gonna check up on her a few times a year
Just to see how's she's doing
It's the least i can do right
Damn
Thank you for being honest with me
Honest, I don't know that Malcom
What's up Keisha
Sorry about the whole brunch thing a few weeks ago
I didn't mean no harm
No worries, Terrence we're all good
You're late i told you to be here, 2 hours ago
And thats where you keep messing up
Thinking, That you can just tell me what to do and where to be
Last i checked, you're name wasn't daddy
But maybe to her
I'm gonna let you guys talk
Damn
She is fine
I'm Here What do you want
Hey, you know something i want a couple of things
First,
You and your boys
Need to find a new place to hang out that's nowhere near the Ashley's salon
And second, i give you a job and an office next to mine
And why don't you stop hustling be a man about it and show up
I'm not about to stand here and let you question my manhood, Terence
I'm not trying to disrespect you
But i am trying to show you dont have to live this life anymore
This is the only life i know
So if you want me out of Ashley's salon forget about the job and the office
And buy me out of the company give me my money
Then i'll be gone
That
Is never gonna happen
I hate you right now dude
Grow up, Terrence
Watch your back with him everything aint what it seems
Starting with Ashley
You know what, it's getting pretty hot in here
That's pretty hot
That is nice
well i think your hair is nice
i think yours is pretty sexy too
Yeah i love it
It's so cute Oh my god
I totally like yours you know the girl who cuts my hair told me that
If i brought in a friend we could both have half off
That is so cool umm, what's your number
Do you wanna Bump It oh yeah, i just downloaded that out
ok, That's not the kind of bumping that suppose to go down here tonight
Ok, soo
No more hair talk
we all know what we're here for
Let's get started
Ok, i wanna see you guys kiss
Ok, nice
Ok, alright Stop
You know what, forget it i dont need to take my pants to make it work
I'm gonna go um grab some more beer
Yo bring down the bass on that, change the chords
I need to feel it on my chest not my throat
ok cool, cool right there
alright, umm take five and we'll work on the guitar spon on the bridge
Sounds great Reed
Thanks
That's why i can't figure out why west isn't down here and offering me
A fat new contract right about now
You know that he wants me to get you to sign a 360 deal right
A 360 deal!
Unfreaking believable
Who does he think i am some clueless kid posting songs on youtube
i knew that you refuse but i'm sure we can negotiate on that
why would i negotiate we someone who thinks so little of me
because the only thing that west hates more than losing money in a new artist
is watching someone else make money out of his old artists
It may take a minute but everyone will end up happy on this
Ya know
Any other labels would be kissi ng my ass right now
not sending their assistant to do it
So
All the blood, sweat and tears That I've put into your career
And you're telling me that you still see me just as an assistant
Reed, please don't start pullin out the crazy on me not this soon
Look i didn't mean it that way but seriously, i cant think of one good reason why should i stay in big mix
i can, me
You cant deny that we work well together look at where you are now
yeah, April look where i am now
It's me and my talent that got me here it's me that people bought tickets to see tonite
Not you, Not West Not nobody else
Well, it wasn't West and nobody else who took care of you when you overdosed
Nobody else hooked you up with supertrax or push you until you actuallywrote something good
Reed
That was all me Yeah you hooked me up with one good producerand you gave me a ride home
Thank you
How about you don't pull out the crazy
And so it begins
I've had you're back from day 1 and as much as a jerk as West is
You're even being a bigger one right now and it's really whack
I don't wanna fight with you April
I'm about to sing my first live performance in years
And my first solo performance ever if you can get West to move and come up with something better than a 360 deal
I'll be open to hearing it
That's the best i can do
Alright Reed We'll talk about this later
I apologise
If i owe you one
Apology accepted if that was one
Uh, thanks for the hook up Val
I've been so busy showing properties i haven't have time for shop something to wear for Reed's show
What are best friends for
If not to give you clothes
Oh No
I'm paying you for this well, Malcom is
What are boyfriend's for if not to buy you clothes
I'll ring her up Val, Omar
I told you could leave a half an hour ago usually you're sprinting out of here to get to Derek
That was before i realise something What
I don't like Derek very much Why
Old Derek was spontaneous and fun
New Derek sits aroundthe house and playing video game and watching tv
I'm over it
well, damn
That was quick it hasn't even been a week
You're not suppose to get sick of someone you like, until after the first six months
Yeah
You have to give yourself some time to adjust
Living with someone can be challenging
It took me a while to get use to Keisha
ha ha
But you're not sleeping with Keisha and if Derek were just my roommate
I'd be force to adjust but we're dating so it should come more naturally
Well, you tried talking to him no
How do you tell someone that when you look at them
You get irritated
The way he walks,
The way he chews
The other day he sneezed i was so irritated, i didn't even say bless you
Owh
That is bad You have buyer's remorse
I had a little bit of that with Val
I never said anything because you're too sensitive
So,
Are you gonna kick him out When he doesn't have a job
No, that's just be cruel so what're you gonna do
The only thing i can do i'm gonna be cold, distant and then vague
so he'll kick himself out
Men do that to women at the time
It is juvenile and mean
Why do guys always do that
Because it works
I will never understand boys
I'm leaving
Lock up for me ok you got it
hm, i'll go with you
Bye
You didn't get the nickname TMA for standing around and saying nothing all day
Make me forget my problems by telling me yours
What's wrong
Gabe is stupid
You wanna be more specific
The Threesome
I was suppose to go high and Gabe was suppose to go low
and then he acted like i was not even there
They never notice when i got up and lefted
Ouch
so like i said
it's stupid
and i'm never gonna talk to him again
He was so into her
I'm sorry
Anyway
I got all the way down to my bike
And then i thought like What am i doing
Sex is suppose to be fun so
Did you go back and have some fun
Hell no
Told you
Three is a crowd
Why do i even care
you care because you care
You're just hurt because you're not enough for him
Obviously im not enough for him
You know maybe he's the stupid one to think even lie to me the first place
That's the only reason i did the threesome
Wait a minute
You made it sound like you were experimenting just to experiment, does he know
You did it because you like him
i dont even know because i like him until right now
Well
i think
you should tell him
But what ever you do don't invite him to move in with you
he might sneeze
Owh
Hello
Well, hello again
and so soon
What can i do for you
I'm a looking my Malcom actually
He's not here
I'll wait
If you don't mind actually i do mind
I'm on my way out to meet up with him now
Can i give him a message for you
Just tell him to check his voice mail
On second thought
Come in
Are you sure, i'm not holding you up
I think this is worth a few more minutes
Because i want everything to remain cool between us
I would like that too
I don't mind
That Malcom is protective of you
Eventhough your relationship is over and has been for quite some time
Keisha And the fact that you still want Malcom
Doesn't bother me either
Because you're entitled to fill your feelings
But the minute they started getting in my way
That's when we're gonna have a problem
I don't know what you're thinking
I just came by to give Malcom a set of salon keys before i catch to Japan
This is only me needing help for Terrence
I here what you're saying but im more focus on what you're doing
And the course of 2 days
You've stppe by unexpectedly two times
Now a man might believe that's just about his brother in your salon
But i'm a woman
I know how we do
I apologise
If i made you questioned the nature of my motives were Malcom's concerns
I didn't even need an apologiy i just needed to make myself clear
And i think, i've done that
You have
Ashley
Don't you wanna leave the keys
I mean
Isn't that the reason you stop by
I can't believe
She had the nerve to show up unannounced again
What did Malcom say
He just ask if i was cool and i said i was
What i didn't tell him is that i don't like here and i dont trust her
But at least she knows i got her number
I wanna hear the rest
But i gotta get the thing started
Do your thing girl we're rooting for you good luck
Hey, It's you
Good Evening Atlanta
I'm Mr. Bangladash
And if i could have your undivided attention for a moment please
And as you all know we are here to listen to Reed Durem performs tonight
I've known Reed,
Ever since he was an anarchy going on pointy ass dance step
one thing i learn then which y'all learn today
This white boy got swagger
Everyone give it up for Reed Durem
Hello
Yeah
Yeah, I'll be right there
What happen
Terrence just got arrested at Ashley's salon
I've go take care of this right away
Sorry, no of course
Should i come with you
No baby, i got this
(Ashley)
So, Omar
I'm curious
Have you ever been with a girl
Yep
yeah
Andrea Brown
We got together at reccess at fourth grade
By the time the bell ring at 3 o'clock
We're broken up What happen
Bitch, wanted her stickers back
I knew then, i was done with women
Hey,
Owh, you
Go away
Just talk to him
Either the bass player winking at me or he's got something in his eye
I'm gonna find out which one it is
How come you don't call me back
Ya know, i thought maybe you'd still be rolling around with what's face
How could you let me leave
What was i suppose to do You're suppose to stop what you were doing with her
I did stop
Eventually
Go away
How can you be mad at me for something you'd agree to
it's not what i'm mad at
then what are you mad at
Look, if you don't want me to be with other girls
Well then, just say so
I cant tell you who to be with
You're not my boyfriend
Look,
Christina, if you want me to be your boyfriend then
Just say it
I want you to be my boyfriend you moron
Ok then
I'm your boyfriend then
That's all you ever had to say
Thank you, Good night
So what do you think i think he did well
I think he's gonna be on top of the charts
And i think
He has you to thank
the 360 deal is not gonna happen
We both know that another label will snatch him up in an instant
So, you havent heard have you
heard what
He's already done that, April
Reed signed with another label earlier today
At least, i got one decent album out of it
I'll make my money back
i doubt,if he'll stay sober
I'm gonna have to get going
Bye babe OK
I need to make sure that Malcom is ok, Of course
Call me
Get home safe
Should we go home to my place or yours
I can't do this
Is everything ok Darling
Jerry
I enjoy spending time with you
And God knows i really like you
But
If I agreed to a relationship
On the terms you proposed
I would be robbing myself of a life i really want
and in the long run
It wouldn't be fair to either of us
But Val I want to be with you
I want to spend everyday thinking of ways to tell you how much i love being with you
The problem is
I don't want to spend everyday thinking of ways to make that enough
Bye, Jerry
