The scene opens in Dallas Reed's condo back in Atlanta. Cameras pan into his bedroom where he is shown unpacking his luggage.
DALLAS REED: So I just touched back down in the A. And it feels good to be home. I definitely had a good time in Puerto Rico. But it's time to get back to reality forreal. My girl Chanel called me and told me she was putting together a little party at her spot with the crew. And to be honest that's who I need to be around. After spending time with Jalen, I'm back to being confused. It's always been unfinished business there. And granted neither one of us wanna rush shit, I can't just ignore it. But then there's Prynce. Before anything, that was my best friend. We been rocking with each other since we were kids. We literally grew up next door to each other. And I knew once we gave this relationship a try, shit would get sticky. That's a big reason i always just tried to avoid this whole thing.
Dallas lets out a deep sigh.
DALLAS REED: At this point I really don't know what to do. Why is it always like this with me man…?
The scene fades back to his room. His door slowly opens and Prynceton peeks his head in before walking in.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Yo Dee! You in here?
Dallas appears from his walk in closet. He approaches Prynceton and kisses him.
DALLAS REED: Hey bae. I was just putting my shit up. Tryna get it out of the way.
PRYNCETON WELLS: oh word. Yea, I said fuck that shit. That flight was long as fuck. I'm tired as shit.
DALLAS REED: Oh yeah? You looked tired as shit. I'm surprised you're here. Figured you were gonna pass out.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Oh yea. I just wanted to rap with you about something. And i feel like it woulda been better face to face.
DALLAS REED: Oh? Whats up?
Prynceton deeply sighs.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Puerto Rico was cool forreal. Dallas and I finally were seeming to be in a good place. We had a good time on the trip. And i was really ready to pull out that ring.so when Dallas told me he was gonna go hit the gym for a lil while, i thought that would've been the perfect time to get everything together. So I left out to go and pick up a few things. Make a nice night or whatever, and on the way back I run into Miles, who tells me, that he just ran into Dallas. And he definitely wasn't at the gym. But he saw him walking into Jalen's Villa. And them two got too much history for me to just let that slide. I'm not saying anything happened. But it's kinda suspicious if you gotta lie about where you're going.
Prynceton shakes his head as the scene returns to the room. At this point, both Prynceton and Dallas are sitting on the bed. Prynceton looks at Dallas for a while without saying anything.
DALLAS REED: Soooooo? Are you gonna tell me what you wanted to talk about?
Dallas awkwardly chuckles, waiting for him to talk.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Yo what are we doin?
DALLAS REED: We're sitting on the bed…. waiting patiently? Ummm?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Us, dog. What are we doing man?
DALLAS REED: Prynce what is going on? This is random. What do you mean what are we doing?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Look. I ran into Miles when we were in Puerto Rico.
DALLAS REED: Miles.. Oh gosh. This should be interesting.
DALLAS REED: I already know what this is about to be, and where this conversation is about to go if Miles is involved. Lemme get ready for this.
He shakes his head as the scene returns to the two.
DALLAS REED:So you bumped into Messy… i mean Miles. And what interesting things did he have to tell you about me?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Why you already getting defensive yo?
DALLAS REED: I'm not getting defensive. I know Miles. And i know anytime someone “runs into” Miles, mess usually follows. So wassup. He told you he saw me at Jae spot? That's what it was?
DALLAS REED: I definitely saw Ms. Miles when I went I stopped by Jalen's Villa. And of course he couldn't wait for the opportunity to run back and tell Prynce.
The scene returns to the room.
PRYNCETON WELLS: That's exactly what he told me. But you said you was going to the gym.
DALLAS REED: And I did go to the gym. And i did stop at Jalen's room on the way back. I didn't think it was a big deal. Nor did i think I had to tell you every move that i made.
PRYNCETON WELLS: I'm not saying you do. But really dude. You know yall history. We all do.
DALLAS REED: and that means what Prynce. We didn't fuck. We didn't do anything. We are still friends. Is that not allowed?
Prynce: you know what… forget i brought it up man. You're right.
DALLAS REED: But it's already brought up. You can't just bring some shit up like this then say forget it. We slept next to each other that night, yet you waited a whole day for us to get back to atlanta then come all the way to my house to bring the shit up? Are you serious Prynce?
Prynce: My nigga to be real it shouldn't have to be brought up at all. I just feel like you lied about where you was going cuz deep down you knew you was wrong for being there.
DALLAS REED: Aiight Prynce. So what we saying. What's the point of bringing this up? Would you like for me to say sorry? I'm sorry for stopping by to see my friend and not calling you first..
Prynceton Reaches into his pocket and grabs the little box with the engagement ring in it and tosses it toward Dallas.
PRYNCETON WELLS: That's why yo…
Dallas opens the box to reveal the ring. His jaw drops as he looks at the ring.
DALLAS REED: Pry-
PRYNCETON WELLS: I know what I want. I always have. But you seem to still be having some trouble deciding. So imma help you make your decision. And imma just back off. And if you decide that this is what you want, you know where to find me.
DALLAS REED: So you came here to break up with me...after you drop this on me yo?
PRYNCETON WELLS: I'm not breaking up with you Dee. Im just giving you time to figure out what you want. And if it don't happen to me. Then i'll deal with it. But i cant keep doin it. Not like this. I doman wanna hate you man. So this is the best thing I can do for us.
DALLAS REED: Wow. I really don't know what to say.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Say you'll really think about us. And say if you come back to me, you coming back as Mr. Wells. Say if you decide its not me, i won't have to find out from somebody else. You'll be a man and come to your best friend and tell me.
Dallas sits for a few moments, not really sure what to say. He sighs deeply as he shakes his head
DALLAS REED: I definitely fucked this one up man. And i wanna make it right. But he's right. I don't know what I want right now. And i don't wanna rush making that decision. So this is definitely best. But it doesn't feel good.
He sighs as the scene returns to the room. Dallas looks at Prynceton with a sad expression on his face.
DALLAS REED: What does this mean for our friendship though?
PRYNCETON WELLS: You don't gotta worry about that Dee. I ain't going nowhere. Trust me. Friends till the end. I meant that shit.
DALLAS REED: I love you boy..
PRYNCETON WELLS: I love you too man.
Prynceton pulls Dallas in for a hug and holds him tightly as the scene fades and reopens in the entry of Trinity's gated community. She pulls up to the keypad and enters her code in. The gate opens, and Trinity drives onward to her home. She looks over to Kyng.
TRINITY MONROE: Did you have fun babe?
Kyng looks over to her and smiles.
KYNG PRENTICE: I did baby. It was dope meeting all of your friends and shit. Seeing how you move. Ya know?
TRINITY MONROE: Yea? This crew is definitely an interesting bunch but i love them.
TRINITY MONROE: We're finally back from Puerto Rico, and we had an amazing time. I was really nervous bringing Kyng around this group because i know how they can be when they are good, everything is great, but when they are not… chiiiiiiiiile.
She chuckles
TRINITY MONROE: But Kyng and I have been getting much more serious despite what anyone thinks. The plan is to have him around for the long haul so it was inevitable that they would all meet. I'm just glad it went well.
The scene returns to the two in the car. Trinity pulls up to her home. As her garage door opens, she pulls in and shuts off the truck. The two climb out
KYNG PRENTICE: I got the bags bae. Just get the door.
TRINITY MONROE: Ok baby.
As Trinity opens the door leading into the house. Her dog, Moca meets them at the door, wagging his tail. Trinity leans down and picks him up.
TRINITY MONROE: Hi mommy's baby! I missed you! Did the doggy day care take good care of you?
Mocha waga harder, licking Trinity all over. She chuckles as she sits him down. He runs around in circles jumping around, clearly happy to see his owner back. Kyng comes in with the first round of luggage. Mocha runs up to his feet and starts jumping around him.
KYNG PRENTICE: Somebody is happy!
TRINITY MONROE: It's been a week. I know he is over me. I'm gonna check on the house.
KYNG PRENTICE: Aiight. Imma get the last of the bags and shit.
TRINITY MONROE: Okay bae.
As Kyng disappears outside, Trinity begins doing a walkthrough of the house. He cell phone rings and she picks it up to see Chanel facetiming her. She picks up.
TRINITY MONROE: Hey boo! Wussup girlie
CHANEL SNOW: Girl! Have you gotten home yet?
TRINITY MONROE: Yea. We just walked in. Kyng's getting the bags from the car.
CHANEL SNOW: Good. So I want you both to come to my new place tonight! I'm having a little get together. Nothing big. Just close friends. And i want you to be there.
TRINITY MONROE: Of course girl! I'll be there! Were just settling in. Might take a little nap. But i am down.
CHANEL SNOW: Good. Ill see yall later on tonight.
TRINITY MONROE: Okay boo! I'll see you later.
Kyng walks into the room with the last of the bags as Trinity is wrapping up ber conversation.
KYNG PRENTICE: Who's that bae
TRINITY MONROE: It was Chanel. She invited us to a little party. I'm assuming lume a housewarming. She just bought her new place.
KYNG PRENTICE: Oh aiight, that's wassup. We in there?
TRINITY MONROE: Yea i told her we were coming. But i need a nap first.
KYNG PRENTICE: well you know what I need first. Maybe that will help you get to sleep.
He smirks as Trinity chuckles. He pulls her in, kissing her on her lips as the scene fades and reopens inside of Planet Fitness gym, the scene cuts to one of the private rooms where Jalen and Legend are shown working out along with their trainer.
LEGEND DIOR: Bitch! Puerto Rico was fun.
JALEN HOLMES: I had fun, like honestly that was the most fun I’ve had all year.
JALEN HOLMES: Puerto Rico was fun, I know I enjoyed myself and to be honest I was shocked to see everyone getting along. One thing about Puerto Rico I enjoyed was that Dallas and I got to spend some time together and actually talk.
Jalen smiles.
JALEN HOLMES: So that kind of made the trip good for me.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Legend, they’ve moved to another machine and start working out again.
LEGEND DIOR: So you never told me what you and Dallas were talking about in the jacuzzi, all I know is when you got back to the room you were all smiles.
JALEN HOLMES: To respect each other basically, I just told him I didn’t want to be enemies anymore.
LEGEND DIOR: And you told him you wanted to be lovers instead.
JALEN HOLMES: Heavens no! I told him we can be friends, plus he’s with Prynceton.
LEGEND DIOR: It’s clear as day that Dallas is in love with you and not that boy, you're finally free from Nasir and actually have a real chance to pursue something real with Dallas, the same guy you’ve secretly loved for months no.
JALEN HOLMES: That’s how you can tell we’re best friends because this boy knows me so well. I do still care for Dallas but he’s with Prynceton and until he decides to leave him, there’s nothing we can do about us.
Jalen shrugs as the scene cuts back to the two.
LEGEND DIOR: I’m not saying wreck a relationship if that’s what they have, but if Dallas is single then why not play with that idea.
JALEN HOLMES: We’ll see, Chanel is having a little get together that she invited me to surpringly, I said I’ll show face but you already know I don’t get along with her little friend.
LEGEND DIOR: Isaiah? Ugh, the privileged little baby. I can’t stand him sometimes!
JALEN HOLMES: I don’t know what Chanel’s intentions were on inviting me to this little get together, I knew Isaiah would be there and even though we don’t have beef, we don’t really like each other.
Jalen smirks.
JALEN HOLMES: And supposedly him and my ex are hooking up so I wouldn’t be surprised if Nasir was in the building and honestly with 2018 getting ready to end, I’m not trying to go into 2019 with the same drama as this year, I’m over it.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JALEN HOLMES: Isaiah is the least of worries, if I do decide to go, I’m going for the drinks and if Dallas is there I’ll be up under him, that is if his man isn’t.
LEGEND DIOR: Oop.
The two laugh and continue talking as the scene fades and reopens in Hidden Hills, California. The scene cuts to a huge mansion, the scene fades inside where Chase Liu is shown waiting in one of the living room areas, he plays around on his phone before being joined by his sister Asante Liu.
ASANTE LIU: Baby brother, back from Puerto Rico finally! You aren’t allowed to take anymore vacations without me, I could have used that trip.
Asante laughs.
CHASE LIU: I had so much fun minus some drama, but it was cool.
ASANTE LIU: Drama huh? Do tell.
CHASE LIU: Nothing I want to sit and talk about, it’s over with. I’m here and ready to get back to work, but first I wanted to talk to you about maybe introducing Jaser to my real father.
ASANTE LIU: Oh wow, you guys must be getting really serious then.
CHASE LIU: I guess you can say we were getting serious, I mean serious to the point where we’re discussing possibly living together, and even though we were already staying at each other’s places, it was different when you’re out together as a couple looking for a place to live, so yes serious was the perfect word to describe us.
Chase blushes.
CHASE LIU: That’s my boo.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ASANTE LIU: I’ve only met Jaser a few times but we've never sat down and had a real conversation with each other, I don’t know if you should introduce him yet but if your comfortable with it then it’s your decision.
CHASE LIU: This one is different, the love I get from Jaser, I never got from Izzy.
ASANTE LIU: I mean honestly both have history and pasts that aren’t so great, keep that in mind. It’s happiness now but pain later, baby brother sometimes you can be gullible and maybe a little naive when it comes to relationships because you want it so bad, I will say just take your time with this one, if he’s the one for you then he won’t go anywhere.
CHASE LIU: I understood why Asante was hesitant with me introducing Jaser to my real father, but she should trust me and my decision. I’ve never been this happy in my life and Jaser has been one of the reasons why!
The scene cuts back to the two. Chase walks over to the window and starts to look outside of it.
CHASE LIU: I just want everyone to trust me on this one.
ASANTE LIU: Ok Chase! I can’t speak for the whole family, but I'll trust you, only because I see the passion in your eyes and hear the tone in your voice.
CHASE LIU: Thank you.
Asante smiles as she walks over and joins her brother by the window, she grabs him and hugs him as the scene fades and reopens in the Druid Hills area of Atlanta, GA. The scene cuts to a house never seen before and inside a Chanel is shown running around making sure everything is put together, she runs downstairs and opens the front door letting Isaiah and Trapp inside.
CHANEL SNOW: Y’all early.
TRAPP: Hey Chanel.
ISAIAH WOLFE: The place looks great Chanel, I didn’t know you were done furnishing it.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh you already know I don’t play no games, anyway y’all come in.
CHANEL SNOW: Since I’ve been getting some money and with the clubs success I was able to afford my brand new home, now this is the reason I work hard. Tonight is all about me, my relationship and being in the company of good people, not only am I celebrating my new home but also celebrating my anniversary with Rico.
Chanel lets out a deep sigh, but in a good way.
CHANEL SNOW: I’ve been through a lot with this dude but for us to be here now, it’s amazing.
The scene cuts back to the three, they all make their way into the main living room area where a DJ, food and two bars are set up.
TRAPP: I already see the henny, so this party about to be lit.
CHANEL SNOW: Were waiting on Trinity, Jalen and Dallas are suppose to come but I don’t know if Dallas is bringing Prynceton and I think Izzy is coming too.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh, no Jaser.
CHANEL SNOW: Well with Izzy being here I didn’t think that would be a good idea, plus it seems like Jaser has issues with a lot of people It's best Jaser and his drama stay at home.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Facts.
Moments later there is a knock on the door. Chanel runs to answer the door. Standing on the other side, is Trinity with a bottle of wine in her hand. Kyng walks up shortly after her with a large gift wrapped box. Trinity and chanel exchanged hugs before entering the house. Kyng sits down the box so he cans properly greet Chanel.
TRINITY MONROE: Girl this is nice! I love it.
CHANEL SNOW: Thank you, I’m still not finished.
KYNG PRENTICE: What's going on Chanel?
CHANEL SNOW: Kyng, good to see you again. Thanks for coming!
TRINITY MONROE: That traffic is not for play play out there. Hey Isaiah boo!
ISAIAH WOLFE: Trinity it’s always a pleasure.
TRINITY MONROE: What's going on Trap? Nice to see you love.
TRAPP: Likewise.
Trapp walks over to the bar and starts pouring both him and Isaiah a drink. The scene backs to the front door where Jalen and Izzy are shown pulling up together.
JALEN HOLMES: This is about to be so awkward.
IZZY: Yeah I mean having ya ex and then ya new dude in the room at the same time is a little uncomfortable.
JALEN HOLMES: Well Dallas isn’t my new dude….Yet!
JALEN HOLMES: I’m already talking crazy, but it’s the liquor in me. I’m just ready to have fun so everything else I could care less about it.
The scene cuts back to Chanel’s house, both Jalen and Izzy make their way inside, they greet everyone before walking over to the bar grabbing some fruit and ordering some drinks.
JALEN HOLMES: Chanel wasn’t playing when she said a private get together.
As Jalen is talking, the scene fades to the front. Dallas is shown pulling up solo in his Mercedes. He parks his car and climbs out. He then reaches in the back seat and grabs his gift for chanel and makes his way to the house. He knocks on the door and waits until Chanel appears in front or the door.
DALLAS REED: Wuddup tho!
CHANEL SNOW: Welcome Mr. Late ass!
DALLAS REED: This is dope mami!
Dallas spots Jalen on the other side of the room.. he simply winks at him.
CHANEL SNOW: -As you can see everyone is here so, so come in and get comfortable.
They both walk back into the main living room, Dallas walks over and joins Jalen. He smiles as he sits next to him.
DALLAS REED: What's good witchu ?
JALEN HOLMES: I’m good love, a little tipsy.
DALLAS REED:You look good. You not gon give a nigga a hug or something?
JALEN HOLMES: Of course.
Jalen hugs Dallas squeezing on him tightly and Dallas directs his attention to Izzy.
DALLAS REED:Wussup witchu man? Good to see you.
The two dap before he turns back to Jalen.
DALLAS REED: I didn't even know you were coming forreal. I would've came wit yall forreal.
JALEN HOLMES: I didn’t think I was, but I wasn’t doing anything else and it beats sitting in the house.
JALEN HOLMES: I already knew I was going to see Dallas, and to be honest it was good to see him without Prynceton, I know that sounds bad but it was the truth. Oh well!
Jalen shrugs as the scene cuts back to party.
As they are talking cameras switch views to Chanel, who walks into the kitchen grabbing the tray of shots she prepared and she walks back into the room with them.
CHANEL SNOW: I made these drinks myself and I expect for you to finish them all, tonight is a celebration of life, friendship and wealth. I respect and love everyone sitting in this room and you all have truly been a friend to me.
Chanel raises her glasses and air roasts to everyone else.
CHANEL SNOW: Today is also my anniversary but as you can see my man isn’t around to celebrate, he has to work.
TRAPP: Don’t feel bad at least the dude works.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Facts.
DALLAS REED: Right! Girl at least you aint out here being a mother to a grown ass man.
The front door swings open and Rico Lemar makes his way inside the mansion, with flowers and box in hand he walks into the living room and greets a surprised Chanel with a kiss and a hug.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh my God babe what are you doing here?
RICO LEMAR: I finished work early.
Rico looks around and waves to everyone.
RICO LEMAR: I guess it’s a good thing everyone is here anyway, makes the moment even better.
CHANEL SNOW: Baby what are you talking about? And what is that you have in your hand.
RICO LEMAR: Listen Malachi, we’ve been rocking for years now and I know that I would be incomplete without you in my heart. I know I’ve made some mistakes in the past but I’ve learned from every one of them and the only way I know how to prove to you that I’m with you til death is to make you officially my husband.
Rico starts to kneel down on one knee, the others watched on excited at what’s about to
go down while Chanel stands there gasping for air.
RICO LEMAR: Malachi Drè Snowden, will you marry me?
Chanel shakes her head excitedly as Rico places the ring on her finger, the two hug while the rest of the group applaud them.
TRINITY MONROE: Yasssssss sis!!!! Go head bitch! Congratulations to you both!
TRINITY MONROE: I am so happy for my bitch! Really. I think like any of us, she wanted true love. And went through a lot to get it. I really wish the two of them nothing but happiness!
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh My God Chanel, Congrats boo!
TRAPP: Yes! That’s what’s up! Congratulations Chanel.
KYNG PRENTICE: Congrats to yall! Thats wussup.
Chanel holds her finger up flaunting off her new engagement ring.
CHANEL SNOW: Yaaaas bitch that ring cost a coin.
CHANEL SNOW: I couldn’t believe it, I am now an engaged woman, well man. Who the hell cares? IM GETTING MARRIED BITCHES!
Chanel screams into the camera.
CHANEL SNOW: Ahhhhh!!!
The scene cuts back to the party.
DALLAS REED: Ayyye Congrats boo!
Dallas and Jalen both walk over to Chanel giving her hug.
JALEN HOLMES: That ring is dope Chanel, congrats!
IZZY: Yo this is lit, it’s time to really freaking party, we need some more shots.
RICO LEMAR: Hell yeah, I’ll grab them.
Rico rushes off to grab more shots while the remainder of the group stand around Chanel admiring the ring and living in the moment, the scene fades and reopens inside of Warp LLC a local business center that houses Miles Balenciaga’s office, Inside Miles is shown sitting at his desk, looking through a couple papers, his phone starts to ring and he notices a FaceTime call from Giovanni, he rolls his eyes as he hits the accept.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Hello.
MILES BALENCIAGA: It was long overdue for this phone conversation, a conversation that should have happened weeks ago when we first fell out. I’ve known Giovanni for years and for us to just stop talking really broke me down, I know my heart can be cold but the one thing that weakens me is family.
Miles pauses.
MILES BALENCIAGA: But I wasn’t letting him off easy, this conversation should start off with an apology first, then we can get into details.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni on the FaceTime call.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I appreciate you picking up the call, seeing you last night just made me hate that we are in this place.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I agree.
GIOVANNI WESTON: And even though I have my reasons for being mad, I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did and especially towards you and for that I will apologize to you. But man you did and said some messed up things that really could have damaged me.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Look at the end of the day, me and Miles had history and I missed my friend! Period!
The scene cuts back to the two on the FaceTime call.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I did what was necessary to save myself also, but at the end of the day we both handled it immaturely and I will also apologize for the harm I did.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Atlanta breeds a lot of fake people, especially amongst this group of friends. Everyone walks around acting as friends but in reality is the enemy and that is why I stayed away from a lot of the people and the bullshit.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni.
GIOVANNI WESTON: We have to promise each other that we won’t let anyone or anything come between our friendship.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I can keep that promise, but you don’t have to worry about me being around this group anymore, I can’t stand the drama and take the fakeness anymore.
GIOVANNI WESTON: So you done?
MILES BALENCIAGA: I am done.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Bye boo.
Miles waves at the camera and the scene cuts back to the two.
MILES BALENCIAGA: So now that we got this shit behind us, link up tonight?
GIOVANNI WESTON: Long overdue, I’m in there like swimwear.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Stop boy!
GIOVANNI WESTON: Ah don’t be a sucka, you missed it.
Miles smiles as the two continue talking on the phone, the scene fades and reopens inside the OLG Restaurant, both Sean and Vincent are shown sitting at one of the tables with Christian beside them.
SEAN WILLIAMS: When Vincent popped up in Puerto Rico to surprise me, at first I was annoyed because after our last situation I didn’t want to revisit that pain again but I don’t know, it’s something about Vincent that always makes me think well what if? I promised him that when we got back to ATL that I would allow him to see Christian, so today we decided to meet up at the Old Lady Gang restaurant and just have like a little say with just us.
The scene cuts back to Sean and Vincent, the two enjoy their food while Christian plays around in his, Julie Ann which is one of Sean’s nanny’s walks over and motions for Christian to join her on the other side of the restaurant.
VINCENT BANKS: I appreciate you letting me see Christian, he’s getting so big.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Yes he is, he’ll be a teenager soon which is why I don’t understand why we still have a nanny, but it’s my mothers decisions.
VINCENT BANKS: With you both being so busy I can understand why, but either way this is good for me.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I mean you were in his life for a long time, even after that whole incident with us he always asked about you, eventually I’ll have to tell him everything that has happened but I’ll wait until he’s old enough to understand.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I always felt that conversation with Christian was going to be so weird, I’m already uncomfortable now just thinking about it. It’s like how do you tell your son that his mother is the sister of the guy who I had relations with, I mean messed up right?
Sean sighs.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
The scene cuts back to the two inside the restaurant.
VINCENT BANKS: Well I hope I can be around more Sean, we’ve been doing this on and off for ten years now, let’s just cut the bullshit and be together.
SEAN WILLIAMS: You make it sound so easy when in reality it’s not, you have issues Vin, issues that you promised me you were over and your not.
VINCENT BANKS: I’m working on that.
SEAN WILLIAMS: That’s always the excuse, You already know if circumstances were different then you would be back in my life immediately, but that’s not the case.
Vincent grunts loudly, Sean notices the frustration and he just shakes his head.
SEAN WILLIAMS: That right there shows me your anger still plays a major issue too.
VINCENT BANKS: I’ve been working on that, I’m attending anger management classes and I’ve left the street life alone. You got me on camera talking about all types of shit and you know this not my thing Sean, I’m not worried about all this, this is YOU!
SEAN WILLIAMS: I didn’t force you too either.
VINCENT BANKS: I don’t want to argue, we had a good time in Puerto Rico and I just want to continue the positivity that has been surrounding the both of us, since I came back into your life and my jail stint I’ve really grown as a person and I only get this passionate over you.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Things are different now and so am I, I’m not the same young Sean you once knew and had control over, I never said I wouldn’t allow you back into my life because if that was the case you wouldn’t be sitting here right now with me or my son.
SEAN WILLIAMS: It’s a never ending story with Vincent, it seems like I’ll always be connected to this man in some sort of way.
The scene cuts back to the two, Christian runs back over to the table and starts pulling on Sean’s arm.
CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS: Come on Dad, I’m ready to go and Julie is in her phone, she’s not even paying attention to me.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Ok Christian, I have to pay.
VINCENT BANKS: Let me show you this game on my phone.
CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS: Okay!
Christian walks over and sits next to Vincent, the two start playing the game on the phone while Sean pays for the food the scene fades and reopens at #Ladyboy..Both Trinity and Chanel are shown in the back office area looking through photos and resumes.
TRINITY MONROE:Girl this is so much! I don't even know who to choose! I didn't even think there were this many options.
CHANEL SNOW: We need the extra help for the glam squad though, I mean when we have guests or performers sometimes they can’t handle getting their own and since we’re so nice I mean it would be cool to have a little extra help on call if needed.
TRINITY MONROE:So Chanel and i have the pleasure of hosting the annual Life finale party at #LadyBoy. Now it's usually held at Lush but the producers and both Chanel and I thought it would be a great idea to bring it home! We want to make #Ladyboy the home of the Life events. And right now, we're trying to find the perfect hosts to make this night a success. And when i tell you Atl came out honey! We had no idea this many people were gonna submit resumes. It feels so good to see our hard work paying off.
The scene returns to the two back in the office. Trinity picks up the headshot of a familiar face.
TRINITY MONROE:Oh em! Do you remember him?
Trinity shows Chanel the photo of Bry'an Tilly, a former cast member of the Life Atl.
CHANEL SNOW: I remember him a little, only met him once. Are you sure he’s capable of handling the job?
TRINITY MONROE:I mean i definitely think so. It's what he does. And he and i have worked together in the past. Did you have someone else in mind?
CHANEL SNOW: I really don’t, but I did come across an applicant that I thought would be good to, I think his name is Amari, very energetic and his work is amazing. I actually invited him today to meet with me, he should be here shortly.
CONFESSIONAL
CHANEL SNOW: Business has been booming ever since we opened the club. I mean we have people booking parties and events left and right, and then now we’ve even though about expanding the club or possibly opening another one, we didn’t expect business to take off the way that it but I’m grateful.
The scene cuts back to the two.
TRINITY MONROE: perf! And I'll text Bry'an. I'm sure i can get him to step in for a bit. Maybe we can narrow it down from there
The scene cuts to the outside parking lot where a convertible baby blue mustang pulling up to the entrance, the scene fades inside where Amari Vega is shown playing around with some makeup and making sure his look his perfect. He hops out and makes his way towards the entrance, he greets security and walks inside, after waiting about two minutes, one of the employees leads him to the back office where Trinity and Chanel are. Trinity greets him with a smile.
TRINITY MONROE:You must be Amari. Wonderful to have you doll..
AMARI: Thanks! I heard that you guys were in need of some extra help, well I’m your guy and as you can see my resume speaks volumes so where do I sign?
CHANEL SNOW: Oooh confident I see, interesting.
TRINITY MONROE:Super confident. We do like that but we want to get to know you a little bit. We do have another candidate we're considering. Buy your resume does look really good. And you clearly know what you're doing, that is if you did that beat.
As Trinity is chatting, her cell vibrates. She looks down at her phone to see Bry'an calling. She picks up.
TRINITY MONROE:Hey sweets!
She smiles as she listens
TRINITY MONROE:Perf! Were actually wrapping up with an interview now so it would be great if you could stop by.
She wraps up her phone conversation and directs her attention to Chanel.
TRINITY MONROE:That was Bry'an. He's gonna stop by before his shoot. So that works out. But in the meantime, back to you!
AMARI: Ok, that’s fine. So what is it you would like to know?
CHANEL SNOW: I’ve already been sold on your talents, it’s just getting my friend here to believe in you too.
TRINITY MONROE:Chanel already vouches for you and i trust my girl. I do. But we actually have one more person coming in..maybe the two if you could work together. You guys are very similar. And from the looks of it you guys have worked together in the past.
AMARI: Oh really?
TRINITY MONROE:His name is Bry'an Tilly.
AMARI: Oh ok, yeah I’ve seen him around.
As she is talking, the door swings open and Bry'an pumps into the door and poses.
BRY'AN TILLY: That's Mz. Tilly if you're nasty!
He gives his signature runway walk to the table and immediately notices Amari.
BRY'AN TILLY: Oh… well. Heeeey Queen. Why am i not surprised to see you here
AMARI: Hey! Likewise.
TRINITY MONROE:Thanks for coming on such short notice love.
BRY'AN TILLY: Anything for a friend boo! Sooo talk to me. I thought this was a solo gig.no shade friend. But i was under the impression that i already had the gig.
He looks to Amari and cracks a half smile
TRINITY MONROE:We haven't made a final choice but, we actually were just talking about the two of you working together.
CHANEL SNOW: I think you guys would work well as a team, especially since LadyBoy has been busy since it’s grand opening.
AMARI: Uh! I guess so.
BRY'AN TILLY: Together?
CHANEL SNOW: Is there an issue?
AMARI: No issue for me, I’m here to collect a check and to get my name out there.
CHANEL SNOW: Sounds good to me, and you Bry’an?
BRY'AN TILLY: No issue. If that's what you guys feel is best. Trinity knows my work. She knows i don't usually need help but this could be cute
TRINITY MONROE:I do agree with Chanel. Now that’s i really think about it, with the business we have been getting, one just won't
CHANEL SNOW: And you guys are capable of making a lot of money off of this.
AMARI: And I love money, I mean look at me, I smell and look like money.
TRINITY MONROE:Well i definitely love that attitude. I really do think this'll be good for the club.
CHANEL SNOW: And since you guys will be around more than it’s best we get you introduced even though I’m sure people already know who are you but being here will give you more exposure.
AMARI: This is true.
CHANEL SNOW: So let’s make a toast to new beginnings.
Chanel and Trinity grab champagne glasses and the two make drinks, everyone raises their glass and make their toasts and the scene fades and credits roll.
DALLAS REED: So I just touched back down in the A. And it feels good to be home. I definitely had a good time in Puerto Rico. But it's time to get back to reality forreal. My girl Chanel called me and told me she was putting together a little party at her spot with the crew. And to be honest that's who I need to be around. After spending time with Jalen, I'm back to being confused. It's always been unfinished business there. And granted neither one of us wanna rush shit, I can't just ignore it. But then there's Prynce. Before anything, that was my best friend. We been rocking with each other since we were kids. We literally grew up next door to each other. And I knew once we gave this relationship a try, shit would get sticky. That's a big reason i always just tried to avoid this whole thing.
Dallas lets out a deep sigh.
DALLAS REED: At this point I really don't know what to do. Why is it always like this with me man…?
The scene fades back to his room. His door slowly opens and Prynceton peeks his head in before walking in.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Yo Dee! You in here?
Dallas appears from his walk in closet. He approaches Prynceton and kisses him.
DALLAS REED: Hey bae. I was just putting my shit up. Tryna get it out of the way.
PRYNCETON WELLS: oh word. Yea, I said fuck that shit. That flight was long as fuck. I'm tired as shit.
DALLAS REED: Oh yeah? You looked tired as shit. I'm surprised you're here. Figured you were gonna pass out.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Oh yea. I just wanted to rap with you about something. And i feel like it woulda been better face to face.
DALLAS REED: Oh? Whats up?
Prynceton deeply sighs.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Puerto Rico was cool forreal. Dallas and I finally were seeming to be in a good place. We had a good time on the trip. And i was really ready to pull out that ring.so when Dallas told me he was gonna go hit the gym for a lil while, i thought that would've been the perfect time to get everything together. So I left out to go and pick up a few things. Make a nice night or whatever, and on the way back I run into Miles, who tells me, that he just ran into Dallas. And he definitely wasn't at the gym. But he saw him walking into Jalen's Villa. And them two got too much history for me to just let that slide. I'm not saying anything happened. But it's kinda suspicious if you gotta lie about where you're going.
Prynceton shakes his head as the scene returns to the room. At this point, both Prynceton and Dallas are sitting on the bed. Prynceton looks at Dallas for a while without saying anything.
DALLAS REED: Soooooo? Are you gonna tell me what you wanted to talk about?
Dallas awkwardly chuckles, waiting for him to talk.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Yo what are we doin?
DALLAS REED: We're sitting on the bed…. waiting patiently? Ummm?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Us, dog. What are we doing man?
DALLAS REED: Prynce what is going on? This is random. What do you mean what are we doing?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Look. I ran into Miles when we were in Puerto Rico.
DALLAS REED: Miles.. Oh gosh. This should be interesting.
DALLAS REED: I already know what this is about to be, and where this conversation is about to go if Miles is involved. Lemme get ready for this.
He shakes his head as the scene returns to the two.
DALLAS REED:So you bumped into Messy… i mean Miles. And what interesting things did he have to tell you about me?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Why you already getting defensive yo?
DALLAS REED: I'm not getting defensive. I know Miles. And i know anytime someone “runs into” Miles, mess usually follows. So wassup. He told you he saw me at Jae spot? That's what it was?
DALLAS REED: I definitely saw Ms. Miles when I went I stopped by Jalen's Villa. And of course he couldn't wait for the opportunity to run back and tell Prynce.
The scene returns to the room.
PRYNCETON WELLS: That's exactly what he told me. But you said you was going to the gym.
DALLAS REED: And I did go to the gym. And i did stop at Jalen's room on the way back. I didn't think it was a big deal. Nor did i think I had to tell you every move that i made.
PRYNCETON WELLS: I'm not saying you do. But really dude. You know yall history. We all do.
DALLAS REED: and that means what Prynce. We didn't fuck. We didn't do anything. We are still friends. Is that not allowed?
Prynce: you know what… forget i brought it up man. You're right.
DALLAS REED: But it's already brought up. You can't just bring some shit up like this then say forget it. We slept next to each other that night, yet you waited a whole day for us to get back to atlanta then come all the way to my house to bring the shit up? Are you serious Prynce?
Prynce: My nigga to be real it shouldn't have to be brought up at all. I just feel like you lied about where you was going cuz deep down you knew you was wrong for being there.
DALLAS REED: Aiight Prynce. So what we saying. What's the point of bringing this up? Would you like for me to say sorry? I'm sorry for stopping by to see my friend and not calling you first..
Prynceton Reaches into his pocket and grabs the little box with the engagement ring in it and tosses it toward Dallas.
PRYNCETON WELLS: That's why yo…
Dallas opens the box to reveal the ring. His jaw drops as he looks at the ring.
DALLAS REED: Pry-
PRYNCETON WELLS: I know what I want. I always have. But you seem to still be having some trouble deciding. So imma help you make your decision. And imma just back off. And if you decide that this is what you want, you know where to find me.
DALLAS REED: So you came here to break up with me...after you drop this on me yo?
PRYNCETON WELLS: I'm not breaking up with you Dee. Im just giving you time to figure out what you want. And if it don't happen to me. Then i'll deal with it. But i cant keep doin it. Not like this. I doman wanna hate you man. So this is the best thing I can do for us.
DALLAS REED: Wow. I really don't know what to say.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Say you'll really think about us. And say if you come back to me, you coming back as Mr. Wells. Say if you decide its not me, i won't have to find out from somebody else. You'll be a man and come to your best friend and tell me.
Dallas sits for a few moments, not really sure what to say. He sighs deeply as he shakes his head
DALLAS REED: I definitely fucked this one up man. And i wanna make it right. But he's right. I don't know what I want right now. And i don't wanna rush making that decision. So this is definitely best. But it doesn't feel good.
He sighs as the scene returns to the room. Dallas looks at Prynceton with a sad expression on his face.
DALLAS REED: What does this mean for our friendship though?
PRYNCETON WELLS: You don't gotta worry about that Dee. I ain't going nowhere. Trust me. Friends till the end. I meant that shit.
DALLAS REED: I love you boy..
PRYNCETON WELLS: I love you too man.
Prynceton pulls Dallas in for a hug and holds him tightly as the scene fades and reopens in the entry of Trinity's gated community. She pulls up to the keypad and enters her code in. The gate opens, and Trinity drives onward to her home. She looks over to Kyng.
TRINITY MONROE: Did you have fun babe?
Kyng looks over to her and smiles.
KYNG PRENTICE: I did baby. It was dope meeting all of your friends and shit. Seeing how you move. Ya know?
TRINITY MONROE: Yea? This crew is definitely an interesting bunch but i love them.
TRINITY MONROE: We're finally back from Puerto Rico, and we had an amazing time. I was really nervous bringing Kyng around this group because i know how they can be when they are good, everything is great, but when they are not… chiiiiiiiiile.
She chuckles
TRINITY MONROE: But Kyng and I have been getting much more serious despite what anyone thinks. The plan is to have him around for the long haul so it was inevitable that they would all meet. I'm just glad it went well.
The scene returns to the two in the car. Trinity pulls up to her home. As her garage door opens, she pulls in and shuts off the truck. The two climb out
KYNG PRENTICE: I got the bags bae. Just get the door.
TRINITY MONROE: Ok baby.
As Trinity opens the door leading into the house. Her dog, Moca meets them at the door, wagging his tail. Trinity leans down and picks him up.
TRINITY MONROE: Hi mommy's baby! I missed you! Did the doggy day care take good care of you?
Mocha waga harder, licking Trinity all over. She chuckles as she sits him down. He runs around in circles jumping around, clearly happy to see his owner back. Kyng comes in with the first round of luggage. Mocha runs up to his feet and starts jumping around him.
KYNG PRENTICE: Somebody is happy!
TRINITY MONROE: It's been a week. I know he is over me. I'm gonna check on the house.
KYNG PRENTICE: Aiight. Imma get the last of the bags and shit.
TRINITY MONROE: Okay bae.
As Kyng disappears outside, Trinity begins doing a walkthrough of the house. He cell phone rings and she picks it up to see Chanel facetiming her. She picks up.
TRINITY MONROE: Hey boo! Wussup girlie
CHANEL SNOW: Girl! Have you gotten home yet?
TRINITY MONROE: Yea. We just walked in. Kyng's getting the bags from the car.
CHANEL SNOW: Good. So I want you both to come to my new place tonight! I'm having a little get together. Nothing big. Just close friends. And i want you to be there.
TRINITY MONROE: Of course girl! I'll be there! Were just settling in. Might take a little nap. But i am down.
CHANEL SNOW: Good. Ill see yall later on tonight.
TRINITY MONROE: Okay boo! I'll see you later.
Kyng walks into the room with the last of the bags as Trinity is wrapping up ber conversation.
KYNG PRENTICE: Who's that bae
TRINITY MONROE: It was Chanel. She invited us to a little party. I'm assuming lume a housewarming. She just bought her new place.
KYNG PRENTICE: Oh aiight, that's wassup. We in there?
TRINITY MONROE: Yea i told her we were coming. But i need a nap first.
KYNG PRENTICE: well you know what I need first. Maybe that will help you get to sleep.
He smirks as Trinity chuckles. He pulls her in, kissing her on her lips as the scene fades and reopens inside of Planet Fitness gym, the scene cuts to one of the private rooms where Jalen and Legend are shown working out along with their trainer.
LEGEND DIOR: Bitch! Puerto Rico was fun.
JALEN HOLMES: I had fun, like honestly that was the most fun I’ve had all year.
JALEN HOLMES: Puerto Rico was fun, I know I enjoyed myself and to be honest I was shocked to see everyone getting along. One thing about Puerto Rico I enjoyed was that Dallas and I got to spend some time together and actually talk.
Jalen smiles.
JALEN HOLMES: So that kind of made the trip good for me.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Legend, they’ve moved to another machine and start working out again.
LEGEND DIOR: So you never told me what you and Dallas were talking about in the jacuzzi, all I know is when you got back to the room you were all smiles.
JALEN HOLMES: To respect each other basically, I just told him I didn’t want to be enemies anymore.
LEGEND DIOR: And you told him you wanted to be lovers instead.
JALEN HOLMES: Heavens no! I told him we can be friends, plus he’s with Prynceton.
LEGEND DIOR: It’s clear as day that Dallas is in love with you and not that boy, you're finally free from Nasir and actually have a real chance to pursue something real with Dallas, the same guy you’ve secretly loved for months no.
JALEN HOLMES: That’s how you can tell we’re best friends because this boy knows me so well. I do still care for Dallas but he’s with Prynceton and until he decides to leave him, there’s nothing we can do about us.
Jalen shrugs as the scene cuts back to the two.
LEGEND DIOR: I’m not saying wreck a relationship if that’s what they have, but if Dallas is single then why not play with that idea.
JALEN HOLMES: We’ll see, Chanel is having a little get together that she invited me to surpringly, I said I’ll show face but you already know I don’t get along with her little friend.
LEGEND DIOR: Isaiah? Ugh, the privileged little baby. I can’t stand him sometimes!
JALEN HOLMES: I don’t know what Chanel’s intentions were on inviting me to this little get together, I knew Isaiah would be there and even though we don’t have beef, we don’t really like each other.
Jalen smirks.
JALEN HOLMES: And supposedly him and my ex are hooking up so I wouldn’t be surprised if Nasir was in the building and honestly with 2018 getting ready to end, I’m not trying to go into 2019 with the same drama as this year, I’m over it.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JALEN HOLMES: Isaiah is the least of worries, if I do decide to go, I’m going for the drinks and if Dallas is there I’ll be up under him, that is if his man isn’t.
LEGEND DIOR: Oop.
The two laugh and continue talking as the scene fades and reopens in Hidden Hills, California. The scene cuts to a huge mansion, the scene fades inside where Chase Liu is shown waiting in one of the living room areas, he plays around on his phone before being joined by his sister Asante Liu.
ASANTE LIU: Baby brother, back from Puerto Rico finally! You aren’t allowed to take anymore vacations without me, I could have used that trip.
Asante laughs.
CHASE LIU: I had so much fun minus some drama, but it was cool.
ASANTE LIU: Drama huh? Do tell.
CHASE LIU: Nothing I want to sit and talk about, it’s over with. I’m here and ready to get back to work, but first I wanted to talk to you about maybe introducing Jaser to my real father.
ASANTE LIU: Oh wow, you guys must be getting really serious then.
CHASE LIU: I guess you can say we were getting serious, I mean serious to the point where we’re discussing possibly living together, and even though we were already staying at each other’s places, it was different when you’re out together as a couple looking for a place to live, so yes serious was the perfect word to describe us.
Chase blushes.
CHASE LIU: That’s my boo.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ASANTE LIU: I’ve only met Jaser a few times but we've never sat down and had a real conversation with each other, I don’t know if you should introduce him yet but if your comfortable with it then it’s your decision.
CHASE LIU: This one is different, the love I get from Jaser, I never got from Izzy.
ASANTE LIU: I mean honestly both have history and pasts that aren’t so great, keep that in mind. It’s happiness now but pain later, baby brother sometimes you can be gullible and maybe a little naive when it comes to relationships because you want it so bad, I will say just take your time with this one, if he’s the one for you then he won’t go anywhere.
CHASE LIU: I understood why Asante was hesitant with me introducing Jaser to my real father, but she should trust me and my decision. I’ve never been this happy in my life and Jaser has been one of the reasons why!
The scene cuts back to the two. Chase walks over to the window and starts to look outside of it.
CHASE LIU: I just want everyone to trust me on this one.
ASANTE LIU: Ok Chase! I can’t speak for the whole family, but I'll trust you, only because I see the passion in your eyes and hear the tone in your voice.
CHASE LIU: Thank you.
Asante smiles as she walks over and joins her brother by the window, she grabs him and hugs him as the scene fades and reopens in the Druid Hills area of Atlanta, GA. The scene cuts to a house never seen before and inside a Chanel is shown running around making sure everything is put together, she runs downstairs and opens the front door letting Isaiah and Trapp inside.
CHANEL SNOW: Y’all early.
TRAPP: Hey Chanel.
ISAIAH WOLFE: The place looks great Chanel, I didn’t know you were done furnishing it.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh you already know I don’t play no games, anyway y’all come in.
CHANEL SNOW: Since I’ve been getting some money and with the clubs success I was able to afford my brand new home, now this is the reason I work hard. Tonight is all about me, my relationship and being in the company of good people, not only am I celebrating my new home but also celebrating my anniversary with Rico.
Chanel lets out a deep sigh, but in a good way.
CHANEL SNOW: I’ve been through a lot with this dude but for us to be here now, it’s amazing.
The scene cuts back to the three, they all make their way into the main living room area where a DJ, food and two bars are set up.
TRAPP: I already see the henny, so this party about to be lit.
CHANEL SNOW: Were waiting on Trinity, Jalen and Dallas are suppose to come but I don’t know if Dallas is bringing Prynceton and I think Izzy is coming too.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh, no Jaser.
CHANEL SNOW: Well with Izzy being here I didn’t think that would be a good idea, plus it seems like Jaser has issues with a lot of people It's best Jaser and his drama stay at home.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Facts.
Moments later there is a knock on the door. Chanel runs to answer the door. Standing on the other side, is Trinity with a bottle of wine in her hand. Kyng walks up shortly after her with a large gift wrapped box. Trinity and chanel exchanged hugs before entering the house. Kyng sits down the box so he cans properly greet Chanel.
TRINITY MONROE: Girl this is nice! I love it.
CHANEL SNOW: Thank you, I’m still not finished.
KYNG PRENTICE: What's going on Chanel?
CHANEL SNOW: Kyng, good to see you again. Thanks for coming!
TRINITY MONROE: That traffic is not for play play out there. Hey Isaiah boo!
ISAIAH WOLFE: Trinity it’s always a pleasure.
TRINITY MONROE: What's going on Trap? Nice to see you love.
TRAPP: Likewise.
Trapp walks over to the bar and starts pouring both him and Isaiah a drink. The scene backs to the front door where Jalen and Izzy are shown pulling up together.
JALEN HOLMES: This is about to be so awkward.
IZZY: Yeah I mean having ya ex and then ya new dude in the room at the same time is a little uncomfortable.
JALEN HOLMES: Well Dallas isn’t my new dude….Yet!
JALEN HOLMES: I’m already talking crazy, but it’s the liquor in me. I’m just ready to have fun so everything else I could care less about it.
The scene cuts back to Chanel’s house, both Jalen and Izzy make their way inside, they greet everyone before walking over to the bar grabbing some fruit and ordering some drinks.
JALEN HOLMES: Chanel wasn’t playing when she said a private get together.
As Jalen is talking, the scene fades to the front. Dallas is shown pulling up solo in his Mercedes. He parks his car and climbs out. He then reaches in the back seat and grabs his gift for chanel and makes his way to the house. He knocks on the door and waits until Chanel appears in front or the door.
DALLAS REED: Wuddup tho!
CHANEL SNOW: Welcome Mr. Late ass!
DALLAS REED: This is dope mami!
Dallas spots Jalen on the other side of the room.. he simply winks at him.
CHANEL SNOW: -As you can see everyone is here so, so come in and get comfortable.
They both walk back into the main living room, Dallas walks over and joins Jalen. He smiles as he sits next to him.
DALLAS REED: What's good witchu ?
JALEN HOLMES: I’m good love, a little tipsy.
DALLAS REED:You look good. You not gon give a nigga a hug or something?
JALEN HOLMES: Of course.
Jalen hugs Dallas squeezing on him tightly and Dallas directs his attention to Izzy.
DALLAS REED:Wussup witchu man? Good to see you.
The two dap before he turns back to Jalen.
DALLAS REED: I didn't even know you were coming forreal. I would've came wit yall forreal.
JALEN HOLMES: I didn’t think I was, but I wasn’t doing anything else and it beats sitting in the house.
JALEN HOLMES: I already knew I was going to see Dallas, and to be honest it was good to see him without Prynceton, I know that sounds bad but it was the truth. Oh well!
Jalen shrugs as the scene cuts back to party.
As they are talking cameras switch views to Chanel, who walks into the kitchen grabbing the tray of shots she prepared and she walks back into the room with them.
CHANEL SNOW: I made these drinks myself and I expect for you to finish them all, tonight is a celebration of life, friendship and wealth. I respect and love everyone sitting in this room and you all have truly been a friend to me.
Chanel raises her glasses and air roasts to everyone else.
CHANEL SNOW: Today is also my anniversary but as you can see my man isn’t around to celebrate, he has to work.
TRAPP: Don’t feel bad at least the dude works.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Facts.
DALLAS REED: Right! Girl at least you aint out here being a mother to a grown ass man.
The front door swings open and Rico Lemar makes his way inside the mansion, with flowers and box in hand he walks into the living room and greets a surprised Chanel with a kiss and a hug.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh my God babe what are you doing here?
RICO LEMAR: I finished work early.
Rico looks around and waves to everyone.
RICO LEMAR: I guess it’s a good thing everyone is here anyway, makes the moment even better.
CHANEL SNOW: Baby what are you talking about? And what is that you have in your hand.
RICO LEMAR: Listen Malachi, we’ve been rocking for years now and I know that I would be incomplete without you in my heart. I know I’ve made some mistakes in the past but I’ve learned from every one of them and the only way I know how to prove to you that I’m with you til death is to make you officially my husband.
Rico starts to kneel down on one knee, the others watched on excited at what’s about to
go down while Chanel stands there gasping for air.
RICO LEMAR: Malachi Drè Snowden, will you marry me?
Chanel shakes her head excitedly as Rico places the ring on her finger, the two hug while the rest of the group applaud them.
TRINITY MONROE: Yasssssss sis!!!! Go head bitch! Congratulations to you both!
TRINITY MONROE: I am so happy for my bitch! Really. I think like any of us, she wanted true love. And went through a lot to get it. I really wish the two of them nothing but happiness!
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh My God Chanel, Congrats boo!
TRAPP: Yes! That’s what’s up! Congratulations Chanel.
KYNG PRENTICE: Congrats to yall! Thats wussup.
Chanel holds her finger up flaunting off her new engagement ring.
CHANEL SNOW: Yaaaas bitch that ring cost a coin.
CHANEL SNOW: I couldn’t believe it, I am now an engaged woman, well man. Who the hell cares? IM GETTING MARRIED BITCHES!
Chanel screams into the camera.
CHANEL SNOW: Ahhhhh!!!
The scene cuts back to the party.
DALLAS REED: Ayyye Congrats boo!
Dallas and Jalen both walk over to Chanel giving her hug.
JALEN HOLMES: That ring is dope Chanel, congrats!
IZZY: Yo this is lit, it’s time to really freaking party, we need some more shots.
RICO LEMAR: Hell yeah, I’ll grab them.
Rico rushes off to grab more shots while the remainder of the group stand around Chanel admiring the ring and living in the moment, the scene fades and reopens inside of Warp LLC a local business center that houses Miles Balenciaga’s office, Inside Miles is shown sitting at his desk, looking through a couple papers, his phone starts to ring and he notices a FaceTime call from Giovanni, he rolls his eyes as he hits the accept.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Hello.
MILES BALENCIAGA: It was long overdue for this phone conversation, a conversation that should have happened weeks ago when we first fell out. I’ve known Giovanni for years and for us to just stop talking really broke me down, I know my heart can be cold but the one thing that weakens me is family.
Miles pauses.
MILES BALENCIAGA: But I wasn’t letting him off easy, this conversation should start off with an apology first, then we can get into details.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni on the FaceTime call.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I appreciate you picking up the call, seeing you last night just made me hate that we are in this place.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I agree.
GIOVANNI WESTON: And even though I have my reasons for being mad, I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did and especially towards you and for that I will apologize to you. But man you did and said some messed up things that really could have damaged me.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Look at the end of the day, me and Miles had history and I missed my friend! Period!
The scene cuts back to the two on the FaceTime call.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I did what was necessary to save myself also, but at the end of the day we both handled it immaturely and I will also apologize for the harm I did.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Atlanta breeds a lot of fake people, especially amongst this group of friends. Everyone walks around acting as friends but in reality is the enemy and that is why I stayed away from a lot of the people and the bullshit.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni.
GIOVANNI WESTON: We have to promise each other that we won’t let anyone or anything come between our friendship.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I can keep that promise, but you don’t have to worry about me being around this group anymore, I can’t stand the drama and take the fakeness anymore.
GIOVANNI WESTON: So you done?
MILES BALENCIAGA: I am done.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Bye boo.
Miles waves at the camera and the scene cuts back to the two.
MILES BALENCIAGA: So now that we got this shit behind us, link up tonight?
GIOVANNI WESTON: Long overdue, I’m in there like swimwear.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Stop boy!
GIOVANNI WESTON: Ah don’t be a sucka, you missed it.
Miles smiles as the two continue talking on the phone, the scene fades and reopens inside the OLG Restaurant, both Sean and Vincent are shown sitting at one of the tables with Christian beside them.
SEAN WILLIAMS: When Vincent popped up in Puerto Rico to surprise me, at first I was annoyed because after our last situation I didn’t want to revisit that pain again but I don’t know, it’s something about Vincent that always makes me think well what if? I promised him that when we got back to ATL that I would allow him to see Christian, so today we decided to meet up at the Old Lady Gang restaurant and just have like a little say with just us.
The scene cuts back to Sean and Vincent, the two enjoy their food while Christian plays around in his, Julie Ann which is one of Sean’s nanny’s walks over and motions for Christian to join her on the other side of the restaurant.
VINCENT BANKS: I appreciate you letting me see Christian, he’s getting so big.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Yes he is, he’ll be a teenager soon which is why I don’t understand why we still have a nanny, but it’s my mothers decisions.
VINCENT BANKS: With you both being so busy I can understand why, but either way this is good for me.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I mean you were in his life for a long time, even after that whole incident with us he always asked about you, eventually I’ll have to tell him everything that has happened but I’ll wait until he’s old enough to understand.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I always felt that conversation with Christian was going to be so weird, I’m already uncomfortable now just thinking about it. It’s like how do you tell your son that his mother is the sister of the guy who I had relations with, I mean messed up right?
Sean sighs.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
The scene cuts back to the two inside the restaurant.
VINCENT BANKS: Well I hope I can be around more Sean, we’ve been doing this on and off for ten years now, let’s just cut the bullshit and be together.
SEAN WILLIAMS: You make it sound so easy when in reality it’s not, you have issues Vin, issues that you promised me you were over and your not.
VINCENT BANKS: I’m working on that.
SEAN WILLIAMS: That’s always the excuse, You already know if circumstances were different then you would be back in my life immediately, but that’s not the case.
Vincent grunts loudly, Sean notices the frustration and he just shakes his head.
SEAN WILLIAMS: That right there shows me your anger still plays a major issue too.
VINCENT BANKS: I’ve been working on that, I’m attending anger management classes and I’ve left the street life alone. You got me on camera talking about all types of shit and you know this not my thing Sean, I’m not worried about all this, this is YOU!
SEAN WILLIAMS: I didn’t force you too either.
VINCENT BANKS: I don’t want to argue, we had a good time in Puerto Rico and I just want to continue the positivity that has been surrounding the both of us, since I came back into your life and my jail stint I’ve really grown as a person and I only get this passionate over you.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Things are different now and so am I, I’m not the same young Sean you once knew and had control over, I never said I wouldn’t allow you back into my life because if that was the case you wouldn’t be sitting here right now with me or my son.
SEAN WILLIAMS: It’s a never ending story with Vincent, it seems like I’ll always be connected to this man in some sort of way.
The scene cuts back to the two, Christian runs back over to the table and starts pulling on Sean’s arm.
CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS: Come on Dad, I’m ready to go and Julie is in her phone, she’s not even paying attention to me.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Ok Christian, I have to pay.
VINCENT BANKS: Let me show you this game on my phone.
CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS: Okay!
Christian walks over and sits next to Vincent, the two start playing the game on the phone while Sean pays for the food the scene fades and reopens at #Ladyboy..Both Trinity and Chanel are shown in the back office area looking through photos and resumes.
TRINITY MONROE:Girl this is so much! I don't even know who to choose! I didn't even think there were this many options.
CHANEL SNOW: We need the extra help for the glam squad though, I mean when we have guests or performers sometimes they can’t handle getting their own and since we’re so nice I mean it would be cool to have a little extra help on call if needed.
TRINITY MONROE:So Chanel and i have the pleasure of hosting the annual Life finale party at #LadyBoy. Now it's usually held at Lush but the producers and both Chanel and I thought it would be a great idea to bring it home! We want to make #Ladyboy the home of the Life events. And right now, we're trying to find the perfect hosts to make this night a success. And when i tell you Atl came out honey! We had no idea this many people were gonna submit resumes. It feels so good to see our hard work paying off.
The scene returns to the two back in the office. Trinity picks up the headshot of a familiar face.
TRINITY MONROE:Oh em! Do you remember him?
Trinity shows Chanel the photo of Bry'an Tilly, a former cast member of the Life Atl.
CHANEL SNOW: I remember him a little, only met him once. Are you sure he’s capable of handling the job?
TRINITY MONROE:I mean i definitely think so. It's what he does. And he and i have worked together in the past. Did you have someone else in mind?
CHANEL SNOW: I really don’t, but I did come across an applicant that I thought would be good to, I think his name is Amari, very energetic and his work is amazing. I actually invited him today to meet with me, he should be here shortly.
CONFESSIONAL
CHANEL SNOW: Business has been booming ever since we opened the club. I mean we have people booking parties and events left and right, and then now we’ve even though about expanding the club or possibly opening another one, we didn’t expect business to take off the way that it but I’m grateful.
The scene cuts back to the two.
TRINITY MONROE: perf! And I'll text Bry'an. I'm sure i can get him to step in for a bit. Maybe we can narrow it down from there
The scene cuts to the outside parking lot where a convertible baby blue mustang pulling up to the entrance, the scene fades inside where Amari Vega is shown playing around with some makeup and making sure his look his perfect. He hops out and makes his way towards the entrance, he greets security and walks inside, after waiting about two minutes, one of the employees leads him to the back office where Trinity and Chanel are. Trinity greets him with a smile.
TRINITY MONROE:You must be Amari. Wonderful to have you doll..
AMARI: Thanks! I heard that you guys were in need of some extra help, well I’m your guy and as you can see my resume speaks volumes so where do I sign?
CHANEL SNOW: Oooh confident I see, interesting.
TRINITY MONROE:Super confident. We do like that but we want to get to know you a little bit. We do have another candidate we're considering. Buy your resume does look really good. And you clearly know what you're doing, that is if you did that beat.
As Trinity is chatting, her cell vibrates. She looks down at her phone to see Bry'an calling. She picks up.
TRINITY MONROE:Hey sweets!
She smiles as she listens
TRINITY MONROE:Perf! Were actually wrapping up with an interview now so it would be great if you could stop by.
She wraps up her phone conversation and directs her attention to Chanel.
TRINITY MONROE:That was Bry'an. He's gonna stop by before his shoot. So that works out. But in the meantime, back to you!
AMARI: Ok, that’s fine. So what is it you would like to know?
CHANEL SNOW: I’ve already been sold on your talents, it’s just getting my friend here to believe in you too.
TRINITY MONROE:Chanel already vouches for you and i trust my girl. I do. But we actually have one more person coming in..maybe the two if you could work together. You guys are very similar. And from the looks of it you guys have worked together in the past.
AMARI: Oh really?
TRINITY MONROE:His name is Bry'an Tilly.
AMARI: Oh ok, yeah I’ve seen him around.
As she is talking, the door swings open and Bry'an pumps into the door and poses.
BRY'AN TILLY: That's Mz. Tilly if you're nasty!
He gives his signature runway walk to the table and immediately notices Amari.
BRY'AN TILLY: Oh… well. Heeeey Queen. Why am i not surprised to see you here
AMARI: Hey! Likewise.
TRINITY MONROE:Thanks for coming on such short notice love.
BRY'AN TILLY: Anything for a friend boo! Sooo talk to me. I thought this was a solo gig.no shade friend. But i was under the impression that i already had the gig.
He looks to Amari and cracks a half smile
TRINITY MONROE:We haven't made a final choice but, we actually were just talking about the two of you working together.
CHANEL SNOW: I think you guys would work well as a team, especially since LadyBoy has been busy since it’s grand opening.
AMARI: Uh! I guess so.
BRY'AN TILLY: Together?
CHANEL SNOW: Is there an issue?
AMARI: No issue for me, I’m here to collect a check and to get my name out there.
CHANEL SNOW: Sounds good to me, and you Bry’an?
BRY'AN TILLY: No issue. If that's what you guys feel is best. Trinity knows my work. She knows i don't usually need help but this could be cute
TRINITY MONROE:I do agree with Chanel. Now that’s i really think about it, with the business we have been getting, one just won't
CHANEL SNOW: And you guys are capable of making a lot of money off of this.
AMARI: And I love money, I mean look at me, I smell and look like money.
TRINITY MONROE:Well i definitely love that attitude. I really do think this'll be good for the club.
CHANEL SNOW: And since you guys will be around more than it’s best we get you introduced even though I’m sure people already know who are you but being here will give you more exposure.
AMARI: This is true.
CHANEL SNOW: So let’s make a toast to new beginnings.
Chanel and Trinity grab champagne glasses and the two make drinks, everyone raises their glass and make their toasts and the scene fades and credits roll.
