The scene opens up in Miami, Florida. London is shown sitting in the bedroom staring at a picture of him and Anthony, he lets out a small sigh before smiling and laying the photo on the bed. He gets up from the edge of the bed and heads into the living room, he looks around and the silence in the house is starting to get to him.
LONDON CARTER•KING I’ve been in Miami a few days now, I had some work to do here regarding my underwear line, but now that's over and I’m just sitting here like, what the hell can I do now? Anthony’s in LA with the baby and I’m here alone and over it, this is why Anthony needs to be in Miami.
The scene cuts back to London, he walks into the kitchen and grabs a couple cookies out of the jar and walks over to the couch, before sitting down he hears the doorknob turning and the door opening to his home, he walks over to the top of the stairs where he can see the front door and there stood Anthony with some bags in his hand.
ANTHONY KING: So you just going to stand there and stare at me or you going to come down and help me carry this shit upstairs?
London smiles as he walks down the staircase towards Anthony, the two embrace and London reaches for one of the bags.
LONDON CARTER•KING I’m just confused as to why you're here, I thought you had an artist to work with in LA.
ANTHONY KING: I did, but I felt like this was more important.
The two make their way up the staircase and into the living room area, Anthony drops the bags on the floor and plops down on the couch letting out a huge sigh, London sits down beside him placing his leg across Anthony’s body.
ANTHONY KING: I’m so tired, I did a show last night, went back to the crib, packed my shit up and hopped on the next flight.
LONDON CARTER•KING So that's why you were being so short with me last night on the phone, you were planning all of this. But I’m still confused as to what this is, I told you I was flying back to LA later this week.
ANTHONY KING: After our last argument it kind of fucked with me for a couple days, I even went in the studio and wrote a song about it. I had to really think about what we were fighting about and honestly it's stupid as fuck. I love you and I love our son, so if you want to be in Miami permanently then I guess I have to man up and make that move here.
London sits there speechless, not knowing if this was real or not, he just leans in and kisses Anthony on the cheek.
LONDON CARTER•KING I really don’t know what to say, are you sure?
ANTHONY KING: I’m sure, LA is home but so is Florida. Most of your family is here and really all I got is my sister Madison and my mom, so I rather him be surrounded by a lot of his family then just a few.
LONDON CARTER•KING This means a lot of me Ant, like I fucking love you.
ANTHONY KING: We’ve been through so much shit, I just don’t want to argue about something so stupid.
LONDON CARTER•KING I know Anthony is risking a lot packing up and moving across the country but it's whats best for us and our family. He’s a hot rapper and a great producer so him moving shouldn’t stop his bag, the people loyal to him will continue to be loyal to him and I don’t want him to worry about anything.
The scene cuts back to the two.
LONDON CARTER•KING What are you doing with your place in LA?
ANTHONY KING: Madison is going to handle it for me, you know she does real estate now so we’re looking at selling or possibly renting but i don’t know if I want to be a landlord, I might just let her handle that shit.
LONDON CARTER•KING Madison and I have to sit down and talk.
ANTHONY KING: Yes y’all do, you two were so close at one point.
LONDON CARTER•KING I don’t know what happened but even when I was in LA last week, we bumped into each other and it was just an awkward moment.
ANTHONY KING: Well figure it out, that's my sister and the aunt to our son.
LONDON CARTER•KING I know Ant.
ANTHONY KING: Anyway what's been going on with you?
LONDON CARTER•KING I’m happy to be out of LA for a few days, it's been a lot of drama happening in the group.
ANTHONY KING: Am I shocked? Nah!
LONDON CARTER•KING Brandon quit the show and refuses to film.
ANTHONY KING: I don’t blame him, I’ve been trying to get you to quit for years now because you already know how I feel about this show and what it has done to our relationship, these niggas only want good tv, they want the drama.
Anthony turns and points at some of the cameramen and producers in the room while him and London are filming.
ANTHONY KING: Shame it took him this long.
LONDON CARTER•KING Don’t be shady.
ANTHONY KING: Look, I’ve already spent too long on camera for y’all and I’m ready for them to get out, the only reason why I agreed to film this scene or any scenes this season was you.
PRODUCER: Why is Anthony against filming for the show?
London looks at the camera, he rolls his eyes along with shaking his head.
LONDON CARTER•KING Now why would you ask me that? We both know why Anthony isn’t on the show or for the show, you know what I had to do for him to even agree to film this scene.
London picks up his water bottle with a straw inside and takes a sip, the scene cuts back to the two.
LONDON CARTER•KING Okay Anthony, calm down.
ANTHONY KING: Whatever yo, finish this shit up, I’m going to finish bringing my stuff in.
Anthony leans over and kisses London on the cheek, he jumps up from the couch and walks back down the staircase leaving London and the camera crew upstairs, the scene fades and reopens at the One Life fitness club. Cameras grab views of some of the members working out before going to back sauna area Inside two men are shown laying on massage tables finishing up a session. Dallas and his ex, now friend, former life star Trazenk Barnes are revealed when they sit up from the table
DALLAS REED: After all the craziness over the past few weeks, I just needed to get away from the crew for a bit. Zeno and I have finally gotten to a place where we could be friends again so I called him up and asked him to go workout with me. I know i can get some things off my chest and get some good advice from him. Plus I'm tryna get this body back right. Summer is here and I been getting a lil chunky. Everybody knows Zee live in the gym. Aint no better trainer out there.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the two who are now sweating it out in the sauna.
DALLAS REED: Maaan! That massage was life changing. I needed that.
ZENO BARNES: Big facts man. I might have to get myself a membership here.
DALLAS REED: I'm saying. I'm glad i did! I love this place. But I aint been in so long. All my time been going to Jae.
ZENO BARNES: You really missed him huh?
DALLAS REED: Hell yea man. He was gone for what, 8 months. You know how I get man. I was starting to think he wasn't coming back.
DALLAS REED: I probably sound like a broken record talking bout this shit. But I still haven't even talked to Jae about it and I feel like it's gonna be on my mind until we do. Like I know he left for work. But we was also just getting good. And for like the first month while he was over there we literally talked everyday. Then as time went on the calls got shorter. Then they started coming in less. Was starting to think maybe he found something better over there.
The scene returns to the two.
ZENO BARNES: You still ain't talked to him have you?
DALLAS REED: Nah. Shit been too good with us. I aint tryna ruin it.
ZENO BARNES: How would you ruin it?
DALLAS REED: Man you know how i get. I been fucked up with abandonment issues since I was a kid. Its like any time somebody leave i always think its goodbye. But I don't say it out loud because most times its me overreacting.
ZENO BARNES: Yo. You gotta get outta ya head man.
DALLAS REED: I know! I can't help that shit bruh. Thats why I'm not tryna bring it up. Cuz it was probably was really nothing. Shorty was over there building his brand. I should be proud.
ZENO BARNES: you can be proud and still not ignore your feelings. I think you just gotta approach it positively. Thats where you usually slip. You always go in guns blazing, when all you gotta do is approach it different.
DALLAS REED: You're probably right. Imma talk to him eventually.
ZENO BARNES: Yea… Eventually
He chuckles. Dallas punches him in the arm.
DALLAS REED: Ha ha. You got jokes. But what you been up to? You been real quiet in these streets.
ZENO BARNES: And that's how I like it man. Low key been working for me. I been working on opening my gym and we almost there boy.
DALLAS REED: Ayye! Word?
He daps Zeno in congratulations
ZENO BARNES: Yessir. The doors are not open but I have a location. But im completely rebuilding it. Its gonna be like that. You already know how i do man.
DALLAS REED: Already! Well you know you should send a invite out to the gang when it opens. Im sure they would love to support.
ZENO BARNES: oh always. Everyone's welcome. I don't know about all the cameras and shit following them when I do invite them tho. Seems like it's less trouble when the cameras aint rolling ya know?
DALLAS REED: You aint never lied man. But uh. Whats been up wit you and ole boy?
ZENO BARNES: Thats a story for another day man. I don't think we got the time to go into that one.
DALLAS REED: Oh boy
The two shake their heads chuckling. They continue their conversation as the scene fades and reopens with Carlos shown shopping inside the Balenciaga store, he looks at a couple shirts before his attention turns to the shoes, his eyes lighten up when he notices a pair of red balenciaga’s in the corner.
CARLOS TORREZ: Oh I need these.
Carlos looks down at the price tag.
CARLOS TORREZ: $1650, that's not bad.
Carlos motions for one of the employees to grab his size, he sits down in one of the chairs.
CARLOS TORREZ: Today I’m meeting up with Isaiah, after what went down the other night and the drama that’s going on social media, I feel like me and him should just take some time apart just until shit dies down.
PRODUCER: How do you think that conversation is going to go?
CARLOS TORREZ: Isaiah’s a drama queen so he’ll probably overreact, but it needs to be done. I’m not putting the blame all on him, but I think us apart is just better for the universe right now.
Carlos shrugs, the scene cuts back to Carlos, he hands the employee his card to pay for the shoes. The scene cuts to Isaiah making his way over to Isaiah, the two hug. One of the employees walks over with two glasses of wine and hands them to both Carlos and Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I got excited when you said meet you here, I’m thinking “Oh, he’s about to buy me some gifts.”
Carlos chuckles nervously.
CARLOS TORREZ: Nah, it's not quite that. But I did cop me some red shoes.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh, ok! So what’s up?
CARLOS TORREZ: I wanted to talk to you about us, and discuss everything that’s been going on. I like you, and we have fun together.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Okay, but?
CARLOS TORREZ: I’m just going to keep it a stack, I doin’t think we should fuck around in that manner off the strength of all the drama it's causing.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Wait what? I’m confused.
CARLOS TORREZ: The shit with Brandon and then what went down at the party the other day, I’m trying to move past all that and I’m sick of the online back and forth, I’m trying to grow and expand my brand and the drama with this show on and off is preventing me from growing.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I feel like you're trying to say I’m holding you back too.
CARLOS TORREZ: I didn’t say you were, but us doing what we're doing is clearly a distraction and a problem.
ISAIAH WOLFE: When I first walked in here I just knew Carlos was about to buy me something and take me out to eat, but instead he invites me here to break off what we have and make it seem like I’m the reason he has all this drama going on in his life. I feel so disrespected right now.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I can’t believe your letting people fuck up what we have, those people aren’t your friends.
CARLOS TORREZ: But they're yours, and the fact that you're not trying to fix the relationship with them scares me.
ISAIAH WOLFE: But your the fucking reason why, you are trippin right now.
CARLOS TORREZ: To be honest Isaiah we weren’t even supposed to get serious, I had just ended my relationship with Levi and you came right after that, you were just a fun time that kind of got serious too soon, I tried to back away from the situation but you were persistent on making it official so I just went with it.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I can’t believe you just let that shit come out your mouth, just a fun time huh?
CARLOS TORREZ: I don’t even feel bad that Isaiah is upset because he already knew what the situation was, after we hooked up I made it clear that I was only looking for a friends with benefits type of situation and nothing more, I was still healing from Levi.
Carlos pauses for a second.
CARLOS TORREZ: I guess I just have that effect on people, this sauce untouchable.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ISAIAH WOLFE: You know what after this you can lose my number.
The employee walks over with Carlos card and his shoes in a shopping bag, the worker hands Carlos the card but Isaiah snatches the bag out of the employee’s hand.
ISAIAH WOLFE: And I’ll take these for my trouble.
Isaiah turns and heads fo the exit leaving Carlos and the employee standing there gagging at Isaiah taking the shoes, Carlos turns and hands his card back to the employee and asks her to run it again for another pair as the scene fades and reopens outside of Planet Fitness, Adyn is shown packing his duffle bag up with his workout clothes inside, he exits out of the bathroom and heads out to the parking lot where he is met by one of his friends Keon.
ADYN RICHIE: Boy, your late I’ve already worked out.
Keon rushes over to Adyn apologizing immediately.
KEON CAMP: I’m sorry Adyn, you know ever since I’ve got custody of my little brother I’ve been dealing with him, and I really don’t have much family in LA so it was hard finding someone to watch him.
ADYN RICHIE: It's cool man, the work out kind of helped me clear my mind anyway so any distractions probably would have fucked my vibe up, but I’m getting ready to head over to this smoothie shop if you want to join me.
KEON CAMP: Let’s go!
ADYN RICHIE: As you can see I was supposed to work out with my friend Keon but unfortunately he was on CP time and couldn’t make it on time, but I guess it's cool because I needed this workout alone anyway. Keon is a friend of mine I met on the road a long time ago during one of New York Fashion weeks show, we hung out after the show and immediately hit it off. He’s in LA for the weekend for a photoshoot with Vogue and he hit me up to hang out.
The scene cuts back to the two walking through the parking lot, Adyn drops his things off in his car and then the two head over to Tropical Cafe, they both order their drinks before sitting down at one of the tables outside.
ADYN RICHIE: It feels so good out here.
KEON CAMP: How was the workout? Again I’m sorry I couldn’t make it.
ADYN RICHIE: It was refreshing, I either listen to music or workout when I’m in one of my moods.
KEON CAMP: Is everything okay?
ADYN RICHIE: I wouldn’t say everything is okay, but I’m surviving. My move to LA hasn’t been the easiest especially since Izzy and I split up, he was all I had out here besides my brother Richie but he’s too busy with his own personal life.
KEON CAMP: I was getting ready to ask you about your brother and how that was going?
ADYN RICHIE: We’re better now, you know we haven’t always been that close. But he isn’t the problem, he can’t keep me warm at night, I just feel empty.
KEON CAMP: Damn! I know how you feel, I haven’t had a chance to have a dating life since my brother is with me majority of the time so I know that alone feeling very well. The good thing about you is that you still have time to experience the good, bad, and evil of what love can bring so don’t let it get you down.
ADYN RICHIE: I guess you're right, but what's been going on with you? How do you like LA so far?
KEON CAMP: I don’t know if I like it or not, you know I’m a east coast boy so being on the west side is different. I haven’t really experienced the nightlife yet, I was hoping you could show me around.
ADYN RICHIE: Well a friend of mine is throwing a EP Release party this week, I really didn’t want to go alone so if you wanted to tag along with me that would be fun.
KEON CAMP: If there’s food and alcohol involved then you already know I’m there.
ADYN RICHIE: It should be fun, I invited another friend too. I don’t know if you know him or not but his name is Zuma.
KEON CAMP: I know Zuma, we kind kind of talked a few times, but it seems like he’s more interested in showing off his body and flirting with everyone instead of getting to know me like he says he wants too.
ADYN RICHIE: oh damn, he did mention that he was interested in someone but he never said any names, I didn’t know it was you.
ADYN RICHIE: I got an evite from Micah earlier today about a party he was having for his EP release, after the last party I don’t know if it was a good idea for everyone to be in the same building but then again I didn’t really know who he was inviting, all I know is I want to go to this party, drink and have fun, not fucking fight.
The scene cuts back to the two.
KEON CAMP: Well here's to a good time.
ADYN RICHIE: I hope so, because you don’t know this group of people like I do.
Adyn and Keon both click their cups together, the scene fades and reopens with London sitting in his home with Production. London paces back and forth with his eyes glued to the television, the scene then cuts to clips and images from the news talking about the coronavirus outbreak.
LONDON CARTER•KING This is fucking crazy, like people are catching this virus and dying.
PRODUCER: This is a serious matter and we’ve been communicating with the network regarding the virus and whether we should halt filming until this situation is handled.
LONDON CARTER•KING I don’t know what to say, of course we want to make sure the cast and the crew are safe.
PRODUCER: They haven’t made a decision yet, but once we know then we’ll update the cast, but as of right now we can continue filming as scheduled.
The scene fades and reopens in Malibu, CA. Richie Rich is shown standing on the patio of his beachfront home sipping on a glass of wine and admiring the view of the ocean, he stares out at the water and smiles as he watches the waves flow back and forth. He turns and is greeted by Yeshua who has a glass of henny in his hand.
YESHUA BANNER: You’ve been out here a good minute, you ok?
Richie Rich nods.
RICHIE RICH: Yea I’m god, I’m just enjoying the sounds of the waves, it’s very peaceful.
YESHUA BANNER: Yea I remember, that’s why I chose this place.
RICHIE RICH: I can’t believe this is really our home, I love it.
PRODUCER: So word on the street is that you two finally made it official!
RICHIE RICH: Well damn, who’s spreading that tea?
Richie Rich laughs.
RICHIE RICH: We kept it cute, private and short. We’re enjoying the honeymoon stage right now, well pre honeymoon, we wanted to make sure we moved into our new home first before we decide to go on that trip.
PRODUCER: Congratulations.
RICHIE RICH: Thank you.
Richie Rich smiles as he shows off his ring to the camera, the scene cuts back to both Yeshua and Richie Rich standing on the patio.
YESHUA BANNER: After all that sex we had, hell yea it’s our home I don’t think anyone would want to stay here after what we did.
Yeshua laughs as he takes a sip of his drink.
RICHIE RICH: Stop playing, you know I couldn’t wait to get you in here and undressed. I’m thinking house warming but we should probably get some more furniture in here, we don’t want folks talking about us.
YESHUA BANNER: And if they did who the fuck cares, this our crib, paid for CASH! Let them talk. We both work hard for this and for the ones who thought we wouldn’t make it a year, well fuck then we’re married now.
RICHIE RICH: Married and happy.
YESHUA BANNER: I’ll drink to that.
And reopens in the home of Asani Li.She is shown standing in the mirror looking over one of her outfit selections.
ASANI LI: No… I don't think this is the one.
ASANI LI: So.. Micah invited the gang to his EP release party and I’m super excited. But he called me and told me he wanted to stop by before the party because he had something he wanted to talk to me about. I don’t really know how to describe what he and I have going on. I guess we have been lowkey flirting on and off. I wouldn't call him my boyfriend. But I definitely have been enjoying spending time with him when we do. I just wanna know what he could want to talk to me about. It sounded kind of important.
The scene returns to Asani who now has on a different outfit. She looks herself over for a second time.
ASANI LI: Maybe it’s the hair i dont like. Something aint working.
As she is walking over to her wig closet, she hears her bell ring. She walks up to the screen on her wall by the front door. She smiles as she sees micah standing on the outside of her door. She presses the button for her intercom.
ASANI LI: Come on up. Its open.
She buzzes him in and cameras pan to him. He walks up to the elevator and presses the button.
MICAH GRAY: Before my EP release party I wanted to holla at Asani about a couple things, Asani a cool chick, me and her been kind of kicking it on the low lately only because we didn’t want people in our shit. Plus my little situation with Chase had just started so I didn’t want to get too deep with her, but now that’s changed.
Micah shakes his head.
MICAH GRAY: My feelings for her have grown, but it's the same with Chase too. I don’t want to hide anything from her and since Chase is down for this little idea I have, I was thinking maybe Asani would be too.
PRODUCER: And what is this idea?
MICAH GRAY: A three way relationship, ha!
Micah rubs his hands together with a smirk on his face as the scene cuts back to him walking into Asani’s condo, he walks in and slides his shoes off at the front door. Micah walks over to Asani and the two hug before walking into her main sitting room.
MICAH GRAY: Damn Asani you look good tonight, that’s all for me?
ASANI LI: You play!
She chuckles, flipping her hair.
ASANI LI: I cannot figure out what to wear.
She glances him over, smirking as she looks him up and down.
ASANI LI: You don’t look too bad yourself. Smelling like the whole bush as usual.
MICAH GRAY: You know I gotta stay lit, plus this my third EP so this is a huge deal for me. But I wanted to talk with you before the show because it's some shit I need to get off my chest and I wouldn’t be real if I didn’t keep it real with you.
Micah takes Asani hand.Asani nervously smiles
ASANI LI: What’s goin on
MICAH GRAY: So you know I fuck with you, but before you came along I was kind of dealing with someone, this dude named Chase, we we’re actually friends but it kind of went deeper a few weeks ago but this whole gay shit still kind of new to me, so a nigga little torn right now. I’ma just keeping it hundred, I'm trying
to have you both and Chase down with it so I’m just trying to see where ya head at.
Asani looks at him, a little puzzled at first.
ASANI LI: I feel like he asked me to be his girlfriend. That's the biggest part here. I’ve always been polyamorous. That lifestyle isn't new to me. But I never knew or even paid attention to the fact that he was interested in even taking our little situation to the next level. I’ve just been kinda going with the flow. So this is big. I definitely am glad I'm hearing this from him and not from the group. They all seem to love to be messy and be the first with the news. So this was cute. I see you Mr. Micah.
She blushes as the scene fades back to the two.
ASANI LI: I mean. I’m definitely riding the Micah train. I just didn't even know you were feeling me on that level. I'm shocked actually. But in a good way. But I kinda figured you and Chase were vibing. You got a thing for the asian queens I see.
She chuckles
MICAH GRAY: Chill. I don’t know it’s just something about y’all that turn a nigga on! But I rather be up front with you then it be some bullshit and possibly ruin what we could have. I invited Chase here, he should be here any minute I hope that’s cool.
ASANI LI: I'm glad you told me. I really respect that and that's fine he can come over as long as he's cool with everything
MICAH GRAY: Bet! But I was thinking with this whole Covid shit, how are we going to spend time with each? I don’t think you trying to be quarantined with a nigga if it goes that route.
MICAH GRAY: Seems like since 2020 started a bunch of shit has been going down, we still got cops gunning down innocent black men, the crime rates are through the roof and we still have one of the worst presidents ever still running the country, and with all that crazy mess going on, now we got a virus that’s hitting our nation and taking people out left and right, I’m not going to lie but this shit got a nigga nervous.
Micah shrugs.
MICAH GRAY: But I’ve seen and experienced the worst so I’m with all the shits, I’m ready.
The scene cuts back to the two, by this time Chase has joined them. Chase walks into the living room where Micah and Asani are shown standing, Chase walks over to Micah and hesitates before extending his hand for a handshake.
MICAH GRAY: Boy stop playing, she knows.
CHASE: Oh shit, I didn’t know. I was just trying to be respectful.
CHASE: Asani and I have history, we’ve seen each other thru passing and have always been cordial and sweet with each other, plus we’re always giving each other compliments so I didn’t think she would have an issue with our little agreement, plus the poly relationships seem to be in these days, so why not?
PRODUCER: How do you think Jaser would feel about your new situation?
CHASE: Who?
The scene cuts back to the three. Asani smiles and hugs him.
ASANI LI:oh yes. He gave me a whole earful.
MICAH GRAY: Now that we got this out the way, we can really turn up for the people tonight and stop hiding this shit, I’m trying to be open and freaky with mines.
CHASE: Here you go.
ASANI LI: mmmhmm. You aint bout to be out there looking like Mr pimp daddy kane..
She chuckles
ASANI LI: I dint even know who that is but I used to hear my mom say that a lot.
PRODUCER: How do you think this will all play out?
ASANI LI: i don't know. We'll see. Could be a great new thing. Could be a disaster. I've done the poly thing like I said before. It's not new to me. As long as we all respect each other and make each other happy I don't see why it can't be great.
The scene returns to the group.
MICAH GRAY: My manager just hit me and said the car here.
The three head towards the front door and the scene cuts to later that evening. A large warehouse building is shown, on the outside a sign is shown that reads “Trill Events Vol. 3” with a huge picture of Micah shown, the scene cuts inside the venue where the people are crowding the building from wall to wall, the scene cuts to the parking lot area where a black Tahoe is shown pulling up to the venue. Inside Adyn and his friend Keon Camp are shown arriving, the two hop out and head into the venue bypassing security and the line of people waiting to get it.
ADYN RICHIE: It looks like it was a good turnout for Micah’s ep release. I listened to a little of the album on the way over and I found myself moving my body a little. I got my boy Keon with me, he’s visiting from NY along with his friend Zuma but seems like we lost Zuma
On the way.
PRODUCER: What happened?
ADYN RICHIE: He was taking too long to get ready but Keon thinks something else is happening, I don’t know, I’m just trying to have fun tonight plus I text him the address and I’m sure he knows how to use uber.
The scene cuts back to the two, both walk over to the VIP section where Jalen and Dallas are shown sitting already.
ADYN RICHIE: Yooo, y’all early.
JALEN HOLMES: Too early, I have a flight in the morning so I don’t plan on being here to long.
Dallas rolls his eyes hoping Jalen didn’t notice.
ADYN RICHIE: Damn you stay book and busy.
DALLAS REED: And gone...
JALEN HOLMES: The money never sleeps, but anyway who is your friend?
ADYN RICHIE: Oh my bad, this is Keon. He’s actually visiting from New York so I wanted to bring him out and kind of show him the city.
JALEN HOLMES: Interesting, how are you enjoying LA?
KEON CAMP: LA is cool but I’ve been several times, but usually when I visit it’s for business but this time around I’m trying to have a little fun.
JALEN HOLMES: Oh I’m sure Adyn is showing you the time of your life.
ADYN RICHIE: I sense shade.
Jalen takes his cup and takes a sip of the vodka inside and gives off a little smirk.
JALEN HOLMES: No shade.
JALEN HOLMES: Adyn is cool but he’s a little too fast for me, a good time at a party but when it comes to business and being serious, he lacks that.
The scene cuts back to the group.
ADYN RICHIE: Where is Micah though? This is his event.
Scene then cuts back outside of the warehouse where a black Mercedes G Wagon pulls up before the driver gets out. He walks around to the back passenger side and opens the door. Out steps Zuma Rockwell, LA royalty status due to his lineage; his mom being a model from the 90’s and his dad being an NFL player from the same era. Zuma is dressed in a simple powder blue velvet t-shirt with matching basketball shorts and a pair of clean white adidas. He smiles, almost bashfully at the driver before slipping him a couple bills before walking toward the entrance.
PRODUCER: So what kept you from arriving on time with Keon and Adyn?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I’m not really good at being on time...I’m good at other things though. Besides...who shows up to their own party on time? It’s called being fashionably late.
PRODUCER: You know this party wasn’t for you though, right?
ZUMA ROCKWELL:.....what?
The scene cuts back into the party. Zuma strolls In casually after getting a drink. He walks up to the group in the VIP section with an innocent look in his eyes before taking a sip of his drink.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: hey guys? What did I miss?
Adyn turns and greets Zuma with a smile.
ADYN RICHIE: Nothing, we haven’t been here that long either.
Keon looks over at Zuma looking him up and down, he turns his head and takes a sip of his drink before placing it back onto the table. The sounds of Micah’s mixtape plays through the club and Keon starts moving his body to the beat.
ADYN RICHIE: Keon is being extra shady right now, when I first brought up these two meeting it seems like Keon had already had a bad experience with Zuma so I don’t know.
Adyn shrugs.
ADYN RICHIE: Either way I’m here for the shit show, I don’t even think Zuma notices the shade hell he probably doesn’t care.
The scene cuts back to the group, Adyn turns to Keon getting his attention, he leans over and whispers In his ear.
ADYN RICHIE: Ah you do know Zuma is here.
Keon brushes his hand in the air motioning that he saw Zuma but did not care. Keon gets up from the section and exits heading towards the main dance floor, Zuma gets up and sits down by Adyn.
ADYN RICHIE: I think you should talk to your boy.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Oh why?
Adyn gives Zuma a knowing look. Zuma shrugs and looks around as if he has no idea what’s going on but Adyn gives him a smirk and then laughs before just shaking his head.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: okay okay…
ZUMA ROCKWELL: okay so clearly Keon is in his feelings about something but honestly I don’t think he has a right to be. It’s not like there’s a ring on my finger or anything!
Zuma holds up his left hand and waves it a little.
The scene cuts back to the party. Zuma stands up and sets his drink on the table before walking out onto the dance floor. He casually moves through the crowd until he’s in front of Keon and places his hands on his shoulders while moving to the beat. He looks up at Keon with big doe eyes.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: are you mad at me or something? I feel like you haven’t even said anything to me since I’ve been here.
Keon ignores Zuma for a second, he grabs the drink off the tray from one of the servers passing through and he drinks the whole drink.
KEON CAMP: Damn, I needed that.
Keon pauses for a second.
KEON CAMP: I’m not mad, I’m just sitting back and watching from the sidelines. You can’t say you're interested in me but yet you're in everyone’s comments and DM’s, seems a little thirsty to me.
Keon shrugs as he waits for Zuma to respond.
PRODUCER: So how did what Keon said about you make you feel? Are you thirsty?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I have no idea why Keon’s mad at me, which he obviously is....it’s not like he’s my boyfriend or asked to make it official....Do I like him? Yes. Does he want to lock it down? Well that’s up to him. Until then, imma free man!
The scene then cuts back to Zuma and Keon. Zuma notices Keon’s icy vibe and rolls his eyes before tilting his head to the side and smiling.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Listen...why don’t we go somewhere private and talk? I don’t think this is the appropriate setting to get into all this right now.
KEON CAMP: If we must.
Keon and Zuma both exit towards one of the private rooms. The scene cuts to Jalen who is talking with one of the event planners, he feels a tap on his shoulder and he turns to see Prynceton standing in front of him.
JALEN HOLMES: Umm, what’s up?
PRYNCETON WELLS: Look, I don’t want any issues and it seems like the blogs and people on the outside are trying to put us against each other, I just wanted you to know it’s no drama on my part. I’m actually happy for you two!
Jalen nods.
JALEN HOLMES: I appreciate that, but I don’t feed into hearsay, it is what it is.
PRYNCETON WELLS: I just wanted to speak my part.
JALEN HOLMES: I’m ok with Prynceton coming over and saying what he has to say, but honestly I didn’t care. Right now I had more important things on my mind, like how I was going to tell Dallas about me moving to London.
The scene cuts back to the two, Jalen stands there for a second wondering why Prynceton was still standing there.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Ok, well I guess I’ll go now. I can see there is some tension here!
JALEN HOLMES: There’s no tension, I just don’t care to talk about this or whatever you beef you feel like we have, when I wake up and go on about my day I don’t even think about you.
PRYNCETON WELLS: You sound angry.
JALEN HOLMES: No, I sound over it and right now I’ve given you too much of my time.
Jalen walks off leaving Prynceton alone, Dallas notices the two talking and rushes off after Jalen.
DALLAS REED: I don’t know what the fuck just went down, but I need to see if Jalen is ok.
The scene cuts back to Dallas running after Jalen, the two head towards exit. The scene cuts to Micah who is on stage with a mic in hand, beside him stood Chase and Asani cheering him on.
MICAH GRAY: Again, I appreciate everyone coming out tonight. What I’m going to do now is rap a few songs from my EP and I want y’all to get lit with me, we got the alcohol flowing and I already smell the smoke.
The crowd cheers and the music starts to play, Micah starts rapping to one of his songs and the crowd gets lit with him. Chase and Asani both start dancing and rapping along to the lyrics of the song and the crowd gets even more hype.
MICAH GRAY: When I look out in the crowd and see the people rapping my shit, I can’t even describe that feeling.
PRODUCER: How did it feel seeing the two people you care about on stage with you?
MICAH GRAY: FUCKING GRATEFUL MAN!
The scene cuts back to the venue, Micah is still on stage and the crowd is still
Going crazy, the scene cuts to the parking lot where a crowd of people are gathered around. London is shown in the middle of the crowd and standing in front of him is Carlos.
LONDON CARTER•KING You walked up on me like you was trying to fight so I’m ready.
CARLOS TORREZ: Nah, that’s just the mindset you have. I can see you still hurt, I’m good.
LONDON CARTER•KING I don’t even know why you’re here, no one here fucks with you and your the reason why Brandon isn’t here.
LONDON CARTER•KING Anytime Carlos is around it's always drama, this man always finds a way to insert himself into my life and cause me to get out of pocket.
London shakes his head and the scene cuts back to the two.
CARLOS TORREZ: Nah, the reason why Brandon quit the show is because he couldn’t take the heat. Trust it your fake brother is a snake ass hoe who can’t keep his legs fucking closed. LA is small as shit so he should know his business is going to air out one way or another.
LONDON CARTER•KING At that point I blacked out.
The scene cuts back to the parking lot, suddenly the screen turns black and all you hear are screams. The scene shows London and Carlos going to blow for blow before security finally breaks the two up.
CARLOS TORREZ: I GOT YOU NIGGA, YOU CANT HANDLE ME!
Security pulls Carlos to the side, London tries to run towards Carlos but security grabs London by the arm pulling him to the ground. Blood falls from London’s mouth as he yells for Carlos to bring it. Carlos stands to the side laughing at the sight of blood running from London’s mouth, he walks towards the group on the other side and security stands there with their hands on his chest forcing him to stay put.
CARLOS TORREZ: London swung first but I got in that ass, I didn’t come here to fight but when I’m pushed to that point then be ready for my reaction. I’m so tired of this group and the fake bullshit that comes along with it. But yet when I air the truth out then motherfuckers try to get buck, but I came prepared.
The scene cuts back to the parking lot, London is shown being forced into a black car. Carlos is shown standing on the side, he notices a huge rock on the ground and he grabs it, he paces back and forth before tossing the rock hard, shattering the back window of the black car. London tries to open the door and exit but security pushes the door closed and yells for the driver to drive off.
LONDON CARTER•KING This won’t be the last I see of Carlos, I don’t know why he thought I was going to sit around and allow him to talk about Brandon and disrespect him like that. Brandon isn’t even here to defend himself but typical Carlos to pull the bitch move, but that’s ok because trust me I’ll see his ass in the streets. The war was over but he just started another one!
The scene cuts back to the parking lot and this time London is shown leaving in a black car, the scene cuts back inside where Micah is shown finishing up his set. He greets a couple fans on stage before leaving, he walks over to the VIP section where Adyn is shown sitting. Micah, Chase and Asani all sit down!
ADYN RICHIE: The album is fire man, every song is dope.
MICAH GRAY: I appreciate that, this is my third EP so this was special to me. But where the fuck is everyone else?
Adyn shrugs.
ASANI LI: Don't worry about it baby, we’re here and that’s all that matters.
CHASE: Facts! This is your night, and the crowd reaction was amazing! Don’t let the absence of others mess this night up!
MICAH GRAY: You right.
Micah leans over and kisses both Asani and Chase, leaving Adyn speechless.
ADYN RICHIE: Baby! I need a drink for this. I don’t know if I was too drunk and seeing shit or if what I was seeing was real.
PRODUCER: It was real.
ADYN RICHIE: Well damn! Why wasn’t I invited to the three way, we could have made this an orgy and called it a night.
Adyn grabs his water bottle and takes a sip using a straw, the scene cuts back to the group.
ADYN RICHIE: So am I missing something here?
MICAH GRAY: What?
Asani giggles.
ADYN RICHIE: I mean y’all just all kissed so I’m trying to figure out what’s happening here?
CHASE: We’re just having fun, enjoying each other’s company.
ADYN RICHIE: Oh wow, I can dig it. No judgment here.
MICAH GRAY: How about we take this party back to my spot.
ASANI LI: That sounds fun.
MICAH GRAY: You down?
PRODUCER: What do you think Micah had planned for the after party at his spot?
ADYN RICHIE: I didn’t care, shit get me lit.
The scene cuts back to the group, Adyn shakes his head yes.
MICAH GRAY: Then let’s go!
The four get up from the vip section and head towards the exit, the scene fades and reopens with Sean and his son Christian at a park. Christian is shown playing on swings while Sean is standing by watching and holding a leash that his small brown pomeranian is attached too. He smiles as he watches his son enjoy the activities there.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I swear life has taken me on so many roller coasters that I never knew I would get on and ride til the end. I’m so blessed to be where I am now, not wasting time in a pointless relationship and enjoying these moments with my son. I loved André, I think I loved him more than myself but I told myself at this age I would never hide who I am for anyone. Especially when it comes to love, I’ve put up with so much abuse and neglect when it comes to relationships that if that’s what I have to look forward to when being in love then I rather be single. I only want to surround myself around good people and people who genuinely care about me, my family and the successes of what life has in store for me.
Sean smiles.
SEAN WILLIAMS: People always say Sean we never see you out, we never see you at the parties but that’s because I’m behind the scenes working on ways to build my empire and to make sure my son is set for life. I stand here single but not alone, the best love is standing right here beside me.
The scene cuts back to Sean in the park, Christian runs up to his Sean and hugs him right, the scene fades to black.
