Confessional cam
BLAKE SHAW: well hello, hello world! Staxx has arrived!
He snaps his finger and flips his invisible bangs.
BLAKE SHAW: I am the one called Blake Shaw. Most people know me as Staxx...cuz I got a whole lotta racks.
He chuckles
BLAKE SHAW: i come from a line of successful doctors and as much as my family wanted that to be the path that I took, I didn't want that. My calling has always been in fashion. Something about the runway or being in front of a camera just moves me. And I've recently gotten into designing a little.. nothing major as of yet but i've been working on getting be a little line together. That I'm proud of. My parents have definitely been a huge support system in my dreams and in all of my life to be honest. I guess I was just lucky. Even though they wanted me to follow in third footsteps, they gave me room to find my own dream. And I have to stay on top of it, if I want to keep getting their support. So I came to the fashion district today to try to find something to inspire me.. daddy is gonna hate me when he gets this credit card bill.
He chuckles as the scene returns to Blake and his friend.
BLAKE SHAW: Friend! I'm so happy to see you! You've been away from me for way too long.
CHAZ BRINKLEY: honey I know! I'm so glad to be back in la. Paris was amazing! Don't get me wrong. But I was so busy at that internship, I barely got to enjoy the city!
BLAKE SHAW: You never told me how that was. Did you ever talk to that fine ass guy you met there?
CHAZ BRINKLEY: Gurl boo! That was strictly a Paris romance! You know I can't leave my Cali boys alone.
BLAKE SHAW: A mess! I can't take you!
As the two are walking and talking, Blake looks down at his phone and blushes. Chaz side glares and chuckles..
CHAZ BRINKLEY: Ooop! What was that about! That boy again huh?
BLAKE SHAW: nosy nosy!
Confessional cam
BLAKE SHAW: I've been talking to this guy. It's no secret. Yosef and I have been hanging out. Nothing official. But we've definitely been enjoying each other's time. He’s been occupying most of my free time and I don't really mind it.
The scene fades back to the two.
CHAZ BRINKLEY: You like him!
BLAKE SHAW: I might. But I'm not pushing anything. You know how I can be when it comes to men. I need to stay focused! Daddy threatened to cut me off over the last man.im not about to go through that again.
CHAZ BRINKLEY: I forgot all about that one! Good riddance.
BLAKE SHAW: Ain't that the truth?
The two continue laughing and talking as the scene fades and reopens at Lush nightclub, the club is packed and lit right now. The scene spans through the whole club before going backstage where Carlos is shown in the backroom counting money.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CARLOS TORREZ: The club once again was packed and it was another good night, money was being made and minus the drama I had going on at home, life was good.
Carlos smiles showing off his new teeth.
CARLOS TORREZ: I've been making changes, a lot of them including my physical look, my love life, hell my life in general. Right now Levi and I are taking a break which is crazy since we just moved into a place together, but I guess because of the circumstances it only made sense not to be around each other right now.
Carlos shakes his head looking away from the camera.
CARLOS TORREZ: But with all the drama going on, money needed to be made and I have a life to live. So tonight I decided to interview a few people and hopefully hire some so I can already have a good number of dancers for my new spot I’m opening.
As the camera reverts back to the office area, a light knock on the door can be heard.
CARLOS TORREZ: Come in.
The door opens to reveal Tristán Dominguez, wearing a neon red stringer tank top and black tights. He takes a step into the room with a grin on his face, and a bag on his shoulders.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: ¡Hola! Did you miss me?
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: So I’m back in California, and I need of a job. A job that fits my dancing skills. There are plenty of jobs around here, but I’m not sure about the guarantee for employment just yet. I’ve been hearing about a “dear” friend of mine, Carlos Torrez, and his club all over social media. I figured since I’ve known him for years that I would stop by. Say hello. Have him offer me a job as a dancer. He knows my skills very well.
Tristan gives a grin, looking away from the camera with his eyes before the camera cuts back to the office.
CARLOS TORREZ: Ah Tristán you made it.
Carlos walks over with money still in hand and gives Tristán a hug. Carlos motions for Tristán to sit.
CARLOS TORREZ: It has been a busy night, sorry it took me so long to see you. As you can see this club stays packed, so that's why I've been thinking about opening another club in LA, so I'm looking for not just dancers but a team.
Carlos walks over to the mini bar and starts making the two a drink.
CARLOS TORREZ: And from my understanding you just recently moved out here and need some work, since we have history I was thinking why not work at my club.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Me working here? Of course, I will! I need the money. Wait, how did you know I was here?
CARLOS TORREZ: I think I may have saw a post on social media or something but that doesnt matter boy, I know it's hard out there finding work and I know the type of work you give so take this quick and easy money.
Carlos laughs.
CARLOS TORREZ: And the good thing about this is working with me will bring you other opportunities too.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: And opportunities too? I’ll do anything for you, papi! Or...CT Rican Boy. You are still going by name, right? And to think Lil Xan was a bad rapper name.
CARLOS TORREZ: Oh you got jokes huh? That's just a Twitter name ha, but you know this rican got that work though.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CARLOS TORREZ: Like I said the two of us have history, and just kind of reconnected recently, we have our fun but this is business and I’m sure we could both make each other a lot of money.
The scene cuts back to Carlos and Tristán in the office.
CARLOS TORREZ: Oh yeah an associate of mines by the name of Yosef is having an event and he's asked me to come and to bring a few of my friends, since your here now it wouldn't be a bad idea to go out and meet people, you know network and get your name out there. Do you want to come?
Tristán raises his eyebrows at Carlos.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: A fiesta? I’m down!
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: I have to let not only Los Angeles, but the world, know that I’m here. Even if I’m on stage shaking my ass, I’m a force to be reckoned with, and they are just gonna have to eat it, so this networking opportunity could be great for me. I’m thankful for Carlos to help me out with getting my foot at the door.
The scene cuts back to Carlos and Tristán in the office. Tristán walking over to the bar.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: So where is this event?
CARLOS TORREZ: It's somewhere in North Hollywood, supposedly he bought this warehouse space that he's turning into his home and Yoga studio, I don't know but I'm just going for the drinks.
Carlos chuckles giving off strong shade.
CARLOS TORREZ: I'm not liked amongst this group of people so I'm still curious as to why I was even invited. But oh well, like I said I'm going for the drinks and possibly network and maybe find some investors for my new spot.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Ooh, drama in Los Angeles. Still? You’re telling me you have enemies out here now? Oh, I can’t wait to see this.
Tristán looks down at the drink Carlos is making, leaning onto the bar.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: What the hell are you making anyways?
CARLOS TORREZ: Don't be so nosey, I'm making a special type of drink that will help you get through the night, don't worry I won't Bill Cosby you.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: You wouldn’t need pills for me to get seduced by you anyways.
Carlos laughs.
CARLOS TORREZ: Anyways, I wouldn't say enemies, lets just say one person doesn't like me but because of that person his list of followers don't like me either, so it's a bunch of highschool shit.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Oooohhh. I can’t see why anyone would hate you, papi. Maybe they are miserable, or something. Oh well, if you ever need them to feel even more miserable about themselves, I’ll be there. I’ll be a helping hand, and a helping mouth. Not like you need it. Don’t you?
CARLOS TORREZ: Oh I don't even entertain the drama honestly, I have businesses and brands to worry about. I need you there as support and to have fun, all that other mess I could care less about. Anyway, we can discuss business maybe over lunch tomorrow but how about we go out to that dance floor and have some fun.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Anything for you, papi.
Carlos grabs Tristán’s hand and leads him out to the main stage, the music plays in the background and the two begin to dance as the scene shifts to West Hollywood. Levi is shown bringing in a couple boxes from the outside, he places them on the floor next to the rest of his stuff and he starts going through the boxes.
LEVI BRYANT: Ugh a lot of Carlos stuff is in these boxes, why would he pack his shit in my boxes though?
BENTLEY WÈS: Knock! Knock!
Bentley makes his way into Levi’s new apartment, Levi jumps up and hugs Bentley and the two make their way into the living room.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BENTLEY WÈS: I know Levi from way back, we did a couple pride events together where we served drinks, modeled and turn up the way we suppose to turn up. What a lot of people don't know is that I use to run into the same circle as everyone else did. So I know Carlos, and I definitely know London.
The scene shifts back to Bentley and Levi.
LEVI BRYANT: Sorry my place looks a mess, I didn't know I would be moving unexpectedly.
BENTLEY WÈS: Yes we have to talk about that, what the fuck happened?
LEVI BRYANT: We just haven't been getting along and it was starting to get overwhelming. He's been stressing about opening another venue and he's been hanging out with old trash.
BENTLEY WÈS: Like an ex?
LEVI BRYANT: I don't know what you call them these days especially with the new generation of people out in this world. But some guy named Tristàn.
BENTLEY WÈS: I've never heard of him, but I'll definitely keep my ears out in these streets. Is he cheating?
LEVI BRYANT: I don't think so, but you know Carlos has a reputation so it wouldn't shock me if it was true.
Levi lets out a huge sigh.
LEVI BRYANT: Anyway what’s going on in your world? Any new possibilities?
BENTLEY WÈS: If your talking money then of course, it's always new money opportunities coming up, but if your
talking men then nah thats hasn't been my focus.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BENTLEY WÈS: I haven't dated since my situationship I had with a certain someone a while ago. Let's just say I was asked to join in on someone's relationship as a third party that didn't mind threesomes every now and then. Once feelings got involved, shit went sour.
Bentley shakes his head.
BENTLEY WÈS: I'm not going to lie, I caught feelings for dude. He made it seem like we was going to be together and he was going to leave his supposedly unhappy situation alone.
Bentley pauses.
BENTLEY WÈS: But that shit never happened, but it's whatever. I'm back on my bully shit not giving a fuck about these clown ass dudes and fraudulent relationships.
The scene shifts back to Bentley and Levi.
LEVI BRYANT: I just can't believe they were out here this whole time acting as if their relationship was perfect when in reality they out here opening their bedroom to everyone.
BENTLEY WÈS: I don't know all the details but that's how I was involved with them. It was more of a physical thing and then feelings got involved.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LEVI BRYANT: Bentley was spilling all the tea tonight and I was sipping and listening to every bit of it. Word on the street was London and Anthony had an open marriage, but Bentley telling me all this today at this very moment only confirms what I've been hearing.
Levi smirks as the camera cuts back to Bentley and Levi.
BENTLEY WÈS: London hasn't really returned any of my calls, so I don't know what's going on.
LEVI BRYANT: He probably knows shit is about to hit the fan, typical London with all his dirty little secrets but want to cry victim when he's called out. Well if he's been dodging your calls, maybe you should pull up on him. A friend of mine is having an event and he invited me. I can bring you as my plus one and I'm sure London will be there since I did see his name on the guest list.
BENTLEY WÈS: Are you sure that'll be a good idea?
LEVI BRYANT: It's obvious you feel some type of way towards you guys situationship. So why not pull up if he don't want to pick up.
BENTLEY WÈS: London has that ability to make you believe he does no wrong.
LEVI BRYANT: Yes mostly all man eaters are like that, watch out for people like London.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BENTLEY WÈS: I get that Levi and London had their issues, But I didn't want to be brought into the middle of their drama. But I guess with me opening up to Levi, this would only cause an issue with London and I, well an even bigger issue. I didn't know if me attending this party was going to be a problem, but if there wasn't going to be one, I knew showing up with Levi would only cause one.
Bentley shrugs.
BENTLEY WÈS: Oh well. I guess I'll have to take my chances.
The scene fades and reopens in West Hollywood, London Carter is shown in a business meeting regarding his shoe line Carter Kickz. He shuffles through a few designs before finally picking his favorite two designs. He hands them off to his team and smiles.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I really like the purple and black and then also the gold and black so we should definitely go with that. Also the logo switch up would be cool too, this line is my baby and I'm happy with how it's doing so far.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LONDON CARTER-KING: Today was a huge day for me, I needed to meet with my team about introducing two new sneakers for my shoe line Carter Kickz and also update the team on the new logo we were using.
London smiles.
LONDON CARTER-KING: So for all the people out there saying I don't have a job or work, you can kill that noise. I've always been the under the radar type guy, never been big on drama and I only hang around a few people. So any drama that’s been happening in LA is none of my business. After that drama last year with Levi and Carlos, I begged Anthony to move back to Miami and he agreed so yes no more LA and back to Miami.
London chuckles snapping his fingers.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Now even though I moved back to Miami, I still have jobs and work here in LA. So of course with me being here for a few days, I wanted to make sure I met up with Brandon and see what he's been doing since I've been gone. I told him about my meeting and asked him to meet me here so we could catch up and I also had a little surprise for him.
The scene cuts back to London wrapping up his meeting. Brandon walks in smiling. He walks over to London and the two hug, London motions to everyone else in the room that the meeting is done leaving both London and Brandon alone.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Look at you looking all happy and nice today.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Oh I’m always happy and in a good mood baby, nothing can kill my happiness or vibe.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Or them checks.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Okkrrr..
LONDON CARTER-KING: Ha you crazy, but anyway I asked you to meet me here because I am introducing two new shoes for my line. And I was thinking since you have that briefs and sock line, maybe we could work together or future projects, maybe both create a new designs of socks and we could work together on another shoe.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: So basically like a joint venture, I can dig it. I'm down.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Our lawyers can run the numbers up, then we think of a design or look and make a check.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I love it.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: That's one thing about London is that he looks out. He's the type that wants to see others grow and doesn't bring you down or make judgments. But as for the joint idea, I was down for it. I knew both of us brainstorming on something together would only deliver success and a whole lot of money.
The scene cuts back to London and Brandon.
LONDON CARTER-KING: But anyway, what's been going on since we last talked? Like what is this drama with you and Jaser?
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I don't know chile, he has bipolar issues I think, or maybe it's a gimmick for his wrestling job, all I know is he needs to keep my name and Drake’s name out of his mouth.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I don't know where Jaser came from, who he is, what he does and why he wants smoke with me. I stated an opinion on Twitter and he used his little fingers and went typing away.
Brandon rolls his eyes and the scene cuts back to London and Brandon.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Well you do know he's in LA right now and supposedly he's going to this thing Yosef is having which I'm on the fence about going.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: That's nice of him, he can be there, just don't come my direction and we’ll be fine.
LONDON CARTER-KING: So wait you're going?
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LONDON CARTER-KING: I was confused, I knew Yosef extended the invite to everyone including Brandon but I didn't think Brandon would actually go especially with all the issues those two had.
London shrugs.
LONDON CARTER-KING: But Brandon can be messy, so I can see why he would attend.
London takes a sip of his Pepsi from a straw throwing shade, the scene cuts back to Brandon and London.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I understand it's his event, but it's also charity involved and I’m passed all that drama. Look I’m trying to be a new person and I can't keep letting these irrelevant bitches bother me.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Preach.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: But I’m more concerned about you, I’m sure Carlos and Levi will be there and I know you guys haven't been in the same room in a long time.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Which is why I don't really know if I'm going or not. I didn't know Carlos and Yosef hung out like that but I'm not for the bullshit and anytime those two are in the room, it's always an issue.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: True. I don't blame you if you don't but if you don't go then I probably won't either. So just let me know and I can make other moves.
LONDON CARTER-KING: So let's just play it by ear then.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Fine with me.
The two laugh as they gather their things and walk through the office doors heading for the exit. The scene fades and reopens with Delonte Fendi pulling out different shirts, jeans, and also looking at shoes that are lined up in his closet. The door to his bedroom swings open and Tommii Drekko a friend and professional wrestler and musician makes way into the room wearing a pair of grey sweats and a loose T-Shirt.
DELONTE FENDI: Ah your awake finally.
TOMMII DREKKO: That flight was long as shit and you had me up all night bruh, so yea a nigga was going to sleep. Anyway what you doing?
DELONTE FENDI: I'm trying to find something for this party later on and I don't know what I can wear to stunt on these hoes. Plus it's been awhile since I've been around this group of people so I want to be on point.
TOMMII DREKKO: Is this the same group you had all that drama with?
DELONTE FENDI: You say it like that's all it was, I'm sure I made some genuine friendships out of the group.
TOMMII DREKKO: I guess, I just remember you saying you had an horrible experience so I wouldn't expect you to surround yourself around that garbage, but thats you.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DELONTE FENDI: I understand why Tommii was so defensive about the whole idea of me going to this party, but to be honest since I've been back in LA all I've been doing is working and I need some time out to have some fun and to clear my head.
Delonte smiles.
DELONTE FENDI: It was warming to know that Tommii was concerned though, it made me feel like we were going somewhere. Tommii still wasn't comfortable with being opened about us and I understood it, I know he needed time and I know this is all new to him, so I can be patient.
The scene cuts back to Tommii and Delonte.
DELONTE FENDI: I got this and I am allowed to bring someone, so I was hoping you would come with me.
TOMMII DREKKO: You really want me to go huh?
DELONTE FENDI: It would make me feel alot better if you were there. But I won't force you.
TOMMII DREKKO: Free drinks? Hell yea I'll go, but you already know I’ll pop off if someone tries to act stupid.
DELONTE FENDI: I already know.
The two laugh as the scene fades out and reopens to Venice Beach during a sunny afternoon, with dozens in attendance. One of them being Tristán Dominguez, wearing orange swim briefs and matching flip-flops, sunbathing on his beach towel at the sands.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: With finding a job so quickly, I had enough time to just relax on the beach, wearing the safest, yet skimpiest, swimwear I could pull out of my briefcase, and what’s worse than going out to Venice Beach, where I can see plenty of hot men there. Plus, a friend of mine is coming to California, and I can’t wait to see him so we can be a drunken mess at every club.
The scene cuts back to Tristán on the beach. He turns over his left shoulder to see a familiar face. A lean Asian man with a beach towel in his hands. Tristán takes off his sunglasses to get a better look of him. His eyes widen up.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Chase! What’s up, bitch?!
Chase walks up wearing a pair of versace sunglasses, dior swim shorts and some fenty puma slippers. He smiles as he leans in to hug Tristàn.
CHASE MANNÌ: Burning the hell up I know that, it's so nice out here.
Chase lays his towel down on the sand he sits down.
CHASE MANNÌ: I'm so happy you talked me into coming here, Atlanta is nothing like LA. You have to take me out and show me around.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Oh, you have no idea what I have in store for you, bitch.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Chase Manni! Honey! When I was in Panama City, he was someone I met at a gay bar one night. We were both so wasted that night that we walked along the city doing God knows what. We just happened to click after that. Don’t let him fool you all though. He may seem innocent when he’s sober, but when you give him some margaritas, he’s all over the place. If you want someone to party with, just bring us two together, and that’s what I’m trying to have us do while he’s here in Los Angeles. He’s also a professional when it comes to mixing drinks, since he’s a bartender.
The scene goes back to Tristán and Chase at the beach,
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: I’m surprised you managed to fight the huge traffic that comes through here, but I’m glad you made it. I see you are out here wearing boutiques now that you have so many jobs.
CHASE MANNÌ: You already know I try to keep up with the Joneses baby, I need to have all the labels on whether payless or Chanel.
Chase laughs.
CHASE MANNÌ: And I had to keep up with these people here. But what's been going on with you? Hows LA been treating you?
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Listen! When I came back to Los Angeles, I thought it was going to feel like I never left, but so much has changed. My family house looks completely different, and Mama Maria brought another person in. Her name is Maya. I met her today, but something seemed off about her. She was hella rude when I went to say hi to her.
CHASE MANNÌ: I wonder what's up with that. All I can say is your back home so just focus on that and getting yourself back out there. Family can sometimes be a burden, trust me I know.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Yeah, you’re right. I don’t know her just yet, so I’ll just let her be….for now. I’m going to find out what’s up with her though. She might just be one of those shy kids. Besides, I need to focus on my job. I’m working as a dancer for Club Lush. I just got the job earlier today.
CHASE MANNÌ: I've heard of the club but I haven't been yet, so maybe I can check that out while I’m here. I’m ready to take LA by storm, so what are your plans? Any parties or like what should I do first?
Chase chuckles
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Well, right now, we can just enjoy this beach, because I haven’t been here in a long time, and I was in desperate need for it. If you want to bar hop, we can go to West Hollywood. At Santa Monica Boulevard, there are a whole bunch of gay bars there. I can bring my brother Saint, and...convince him to be our DD so we can just poison ourselves with alcohol and act reckless as f**k, but you did say parties, and supposedly there is one coming up that Carlos invited me to. Some networking party that a friend of his is hosting. Well, “friend”.
CHASE MANNÌ: Oh sounds fun, I'm down to go and see what this LA life is really about.
Chase reaches inside his bag and pulls out some suntan lotion, he starts rubbing his body down.
CHASE MANNÌ: Maybe I can find me a little date while I'm out here and have some real fun.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Ain’t nothin, but parties and rich men here, so you’ve found the right city to have fun at. Wait...like exhibit A passing us right now.
Tristán lowers his sunglasses to eye an older muscular Latino, walking along the beach with slight body hair and a gold speedo. His arms gripped onto a surfboard. The older man notices the younger men staring at them.
MAN: Hi.
CHASE MANNÌ: What it do boo?
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Hola….
As the man passes them by, Tristán looks at Chase.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: See what I mean?
CHASE MANNÌ: LA has some cute eye candy, but I don't think I'm even ready to entertain another man after the bullshit I went through.
Chase sighs.
CHASE MANNÌ: Everyone thinks it's all fun and easy to date a man with money, but it isn’t.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Why, what happened?
CHASE MANNÌ: Lets just say because he had money he felt like he had this control over me. He was very overprotective and forced me away from my family, he was also cheating on me.
Chase shakes his head in disgust remembering the stuff his ex put him through.
CHASE MANNÌ: But I'm over that whole situation.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Well, look. Even if you don’t want a man with money, Los Angeles is still where it is at. There are possibilities and gay men everywhere. Me on the other hand? I need to get my finances together, and I just need an investor.
CHASE MANNÌ: I don't need a man really, having one is nice but it's not a necessity. Maybe I'll run into someone at this party.
Chase starts to look around the beach.
CHASE MANNÌ: Anyway I am starting to get hungry, I'm shocked there aren't any hot dog stands or any food trucks around.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Okay, now that I agree with. There’s use to always be a few around this time.
CHASE MANNÌ: A lot of people are undercover or already taken, and I just think relationships come with so much baggage and drama. It's a lot of work and a lot of people don't want to deal with that.
Chase shrugs.
CHASE MANNÌ: But who cares right? Let's enjoy this single life, make some money, and live the best life ever.
TRISTÁN DOMINGUEZ: Are you kidding? You are talking to the expert right here!
The scene fades and reopens in a lush La loft. On the inside A bunch of movers are shown bringing in furniture and setting it up around the house. Cameras then pan to the outside deck area with a large pool with a lavish view of the city. President is shown sitting at the table looking through a bunch of papers before his cell rings. He answers the call, putting the phone to his ear.
PRESIDENT LAWSON: Yo! You outside dog? Just come up the elevator. I'm outside at the pool.
He hangs up his phone and continues looking through the papers. A few moments later, Brandon is shown walking pass all the movers through the patio doors with a bottle of champagne. President gets up and greets him with a hug.
PRESIDENT LAWSON: I see you bring gifts! And I need that shit! Lemme go grab some glasses.
PRESIDENT LAWSON: Brandon and I have come a very long way since we first met man. He was wild as shit and we kinda butted heads. But since we been cool things been real good. We've collabed on a few things in the past and we work well together. I been working on this new line for a few months now and it's finally come together. I'm definitely a perfectionist so I aint bout to put nothing out unless it's perfect. I called my boy Brandon to see if he would be interested in walking as the head of my show. Why not spread this paper around to the people I fuck with?
The scene returns to the deck.
PRESIDENT LAWSON: So what's good my dude. I'm sorry about all the mess too. I still ain't quite settled in yet.
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: It still looks dope in here though, I like the look but I should have known you would have something this nice.
Brandon takes a sip of his champagne admiring the scenery around him.
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: But oh my gosh President I’ve missed you, it’s been so long since we’ve had like one on one. I’m so happy you finally moved to LA. I actually just settled in my place in LA too because you know I was renting here but still living between Vegas and NY.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: Over the years President and I relationship has grown stronger. I enjoy the time I do spend with him because he’s opened my eyes to a lot. It’s a real genuine friendship I can say! Since he was starting to come back around, I knew I had to catch him up what’s been going on in LA.
The scene cuts back to President and Brandon.
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: Maybe you can help me decorate.
PRESIDENT LAWSON: Absolutely man. I can't wait to see your place. It has been to long tho man. So catch me up. What's been going on with you bro?
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: A lot has been going on, I’ve been doing the briefs line and that’s been going well. I've been playing around with music, you know releasing stuff here and there on Apple but nothing serious. I’m just having fun.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: I haven’t seen President in a while, after his parents death we spoke here and there but we never made the time to hang out. I wasn’t mad or anything, I knew he was healing and busy at the same time, and I had my own issues and life going on so it wasn’t the right time. But I was happy that we were able to catch up now, I wanted to keep things positive though and not stress him with any of my bullshit.
The scene cuts back to Brandon and President.

Feels like it was just yesterday I was at the wedding. I saw all that lshit on Twitter with you and ole boy from atl. What's all that about.
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: I don’t breathe life into peasants, he’s a jealous queen that’s what it all boils down too. But I didn’t come here to discuss trash, I actually took mines out before I left today.
Brandon chuckles.
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: Anyway you know I’ve been doing these briefs line and I was thinking we should collaborate on a few things.
PRESIDENT LAWSON: That's one of the reasons I called you over here man. I been working on this line for quite some time now, and it's bout ready to show the world. And I was thinking you would be perfect to head the show. Wanted you to check out the line, see what you thought and talk money with you bruh!
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: You know I’m always down for a coin, these girls out here thinking I don’t work but I got all the jobs.
Brandon shrugs.
BRANDON YOUNG - ANDREWS: So besides me and London have you seen any of the other guys?
PRESIDENT LAWSON: Yea I saw Carlos at that party. We ran into each other and he tried to have whatever conversation that I don't have time for.
Confessional cam
PRESIDENT LAWSON: Carlos and I gott way too much history. And as much as I wanted us to at least be friends, I can't see myself being cool Leith someone who disrespected me the way he did. I'm sure one day we will. But a lotta the places we bumped into each other just weren't the right place for all that.

The scene cuts back to Kylie and Richie Rich.
KYLIE FOX: I was so mad you went to Atlanta and left me for all that time, but I'm happy you're back in LA now and it looks like you got a new man on your arm.
RICHIE RICH: Yea you can say that. But I'm taking things really slow this time, the shit that went down with Yosef fucked me up.
KYLIE FOX: I bet. But it's good that your better now and that's all that matters. But can you actually tell me what happened with you two? You've been so closed mouth about it.
RICHIE RICH: Ummm it was a lot, I won't put the full blame on Yosef but he played a major part. Trust was a huge factor and once the engagement happen, we were more enemies then in love.
KYLIE FOX: I really liked Yosef too.
RICHIE RICH: I really liked him too, as a boyfriend and a friend. But it just didn't work out, I hold no ill feelings against him though, but were still kind of in a weird place.
KYLIE FOX: I hope whatever happens, it's a positive outcome.
RICHIE RICH: i don't hold grudges and I've already forgiven him. I just don't want to be with him.
KYLIE FOX: I understand, I worry about you at times because I know you want to be in love but that takes time. Just be patient and let it hit you unexpectedly.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
RICHIE RICH: Kylie was right and that is one of the reasons why she is my best friend. And I knew not to rush things this time, I was more focused on my life, my businesses and whatever else I had going on in my life. But that doesn't mean I couldn't have fun.
Richie Rich laughs as the scene cuts back to Kylie and Richie Rich.
RICHIE RICH: Yosef invited me to his charity event / party. I'm going to go because I've donated to this charity before and I don't want him to think I have a problem with him.
KYLIE FOX: That's taking a big step.
RICHIE RICH: I'm grown now, ha.
KYLIE FOX: I'm down here, let's go out and enjoy the club and then hit a iHop or something after.
RICHIE RICH: Best idea ever.
