sure that won’t be a problem for you or the other ladies.” Derrick replied. I felt the smirk spread across his face quickly.
    This time, I didn’t mind it as much.
    “You are so silly, boy,” I playfully teased. “We’ll see you at the party later today.”
    After hanging up the phone with Derrick, I called Tracie to make sure she was on her way over to my place to get dressed and ride over later.
    “This party had better not be lame, Cori,” she came out of her face saying. “It really won’t matter if Brian’s fine ass is gonna be there or not, if I’m bored, I’m leaving you there.”
    “The party won’t be lame, Tracy. RP is not some broke ass organization, if you’ve forgotten that, and the party will be at the Richton estate. I’m sure Mr. Richton has enough juice for the majority of us, girl.”
    “Speaking of juice, it seems like you and that cutie, Derrick, right? Looks like you two are getting a little cozy,” Tracie switched the subject on me. “So, when you gonna fuck him so we can get our recording deal finished? I saw him at the showcase last night, and he has Mr. Richton’s ear and influence.”
    The stare that I gave her could have pierced through steel.
    “You’re a cold ass bitch, do you know that?” I replied, annoyed that she would even think I would put myself out there like that. “I am not sleeping with Derrick to seal a deal. IF I decide to sleep with him, it will be based on something a lot more important than a record deal.”
    “Awww, that’s so sweet, but that shit only works in the movies, Cori,” Tracie tried to correct my romanticized thoughts. “You like him, I can tell that already. This ‘playing hard to get when you already wanna give up the pussy’ cat and mouse shit is cute and all, but we got business to attend to, or have you forgotten that?”
    “Please, Tracie, I hardly know Derrick well enough to like him or anything like that,” I lied through my teeth. Derrick was getting to me, and it was just a matter of time before everyone else began to see that, including Derrick. “But if I do fuck him, you’ll be the first to know.”
    “Girl, why don’t we just get all dolled up, head to this party, and get our freak on, please?” Tracie finally said. “All of the real ballers will be snatched up, and I’m no one’s sloppy seconds.”

    “ Alright, D, where are your girls?”
    Brian was acting like a freakin’ teenager wrapped up in his damn puppy crush or some shit when he walked up on me trying to find out when Cori and the girls would show up.
    “They’ll be here, B, what the fuck are your panties in a bunch for?” I asked him, irritated that he’d been acting like such a damn buster.
    “Look, D, these phony ass women of Toni’s are starting to cramp my style,” Brian came back at me, looking almost insulted that I would ask. “I just hope they hurry up, I’m about to be bored as hell up in this camp.”
    “Look, man, I said they’ll be here, alright?” I felt like I was reassuring a little kid that his favorite toy would be at home or something.
    Finally, I saw Cori coming through the back doors, followed by Tracie, Kyra and Candace. Seeing everyone turn their heads to see the girls, especially the wannabes that wanted a piece of them, would probably be enough to make most men sweat about the competition.
    Between you and me, I’m not most men.
    “Any other questions, bruh?” I asked Brian, watching him slowly lose his mind upon seeing Tracie. “You know how women like making an entrance.”
    “You got that right, bruh, and it’s a hellified entrance, to say the least.” Brian couldn’t take his eyes off Tracie, and she locked eyes with him the minute she saw us. “So, we’re hosts, right? Let’s go be hospitable.”
    “Come on, playa, you know not to be all eager and shit?” I wasn’t sure if I was trying to remind him of that, or remind myself of what needs not to happen. “Let the ladies breathe a
