Chapter 5
Tina's POV
That Saturday I was putting on my make-up. It was a big day for Avey because he would be preforming his rap for the class, he came running into my room all dressed to go. He was wearing a black backwards cap, a black shirt that read 'Avey' on it, some baggy pants and sneakers.
"You ready?'. He asked.
"Yeah, do I look okay?". I asked. I was wearing a pink and black halter bikini top and matching two tone low rise pants, my hair way straight down and I had on some pink lip stick.
"Yeah, now come on, I don't wanna be late, we're having a party". He said running out of my room.
"Ok, ok, I'm coming". I said following him out.
Later
"So how do I look?". John asked his friend.
Randy gave out a frustrated sigh. "For the past 15 minutes you've asked me that 8 times, you look fine, why are you so nervous?".
"I wanna look good, you know impress the parents and all". John lied.
"Uh-huh, more like you want to impress Tina".
"Is it that obvious?". He asked, randy nodded.
"Look, I knew how much you liked Tina when I saw you talking to her at the show. Face it, you like her...a lot".
"I'm planning on taking Avey on the road with me after this".
"Your doing this to get close to her or something?".
"That and the fact Avey's been askin' for weeks".
"If I didn't know better, I'd say your treatin' the kid as if he was your own".
"Well, I do talk and hang out with him more than the other kids".
"Damn, you guys aren't even a couple and your already playing daddy to her little brother".
"Will you shut-up, I'm already nervous, she's gonna be here any minute".
"Yeah, just think. Seeing her walking through those doors, wearing a small top showing off her chest, pants that fit her just right". Randy teased, by that time john was beginning to sweat and breath heavily. "Her beautiful face smiling when she sees you, her brown eyes sparkling into yours".
"Your right". John said turning his green cap backwards. "How do I look?". Randy rolled his eyes and left while john followed awaiting an answer.
Meanwhile
"How do I look?". Tina asked her brother for the 5th time, the two were sitting in the car right outside the building and tina was fixing herself up in the rearview mirror.
"Who are you trying to impress?". Avey asked.
Tina took a side glance at avey before turning back to the mirror. "Noone". She answered nervously.
"Is it John?". He questioned.
"Um, come on let's go". Tina said quickly getting out of the car with her brother, he walked next to her. "You wanna look nice for him, don't you?'.
"No, I just don't wanna look horrible when I'm in front of people". She said hoping he would stop with his questions.
"Your lying". He said as they walked into the building. They traveled up the flight of stairs and went into the room. "You wanna look good for him because you like-". Tina covered his mouth before he could say another word.
"Hi John". She said.
"Hey Tina". He said. He then turned to Avey. "What's up little man?".
"Hi". Avey mumbled through tina's hand.
"You ready to show off your rapping skills today?". John asked. Avey gave a thumbs up and tina uncovered his mouth and pushed him away.
"You wanna walk around, avey's performance isn't for another 15 minutes and we can talk more".
"Sure". She agreed. The two left the room and walked downstairs.
"You look amazing today Tina". He complimented.
"Really, it's not too skimpy or anything?". She asked. John took a moment to look her over, the top alone was enough to make him go wild and the pants once again made her body look curvaceous.
"No, you look perfect".
"Thanks, I like your outfit too". John was dressed in a green cap, Celtics jersey and customized green shorts and sneakers.
"Thanks". They smiled at each other. The two continued to walk around the building as they chatted. "You know when I asked you about Avey coming with me on the road?".
"Yeah".
"Well, I was thinking, and I thought, why don't you come with us, you can even bring your friend".
"...well, I wouldn't want to be in your way or take up your time".
"No, no, it's okay you won't be. And honestly...I would like you to come with me".
"Really". She asked, he nodded. She thought for a second. "You sure I won't be in your way at all. I mean I don't want your boss to be upset".
"I promise, please, we'll have lots of fun". He put his hands in the praying position and pleaded, she laughed.
"Well then, okay, I would love to go. Plus I can probably learn more about wrestling".
10 minutes later
John and Tina were walking back up the flight of stairs to the room. Once inside they saw the DJ was playing music, the grown-ups were dancing while the kids were in the corner rapping, talking or playing. Suddenly Jay-Z's 'Excuse Me Miss' began to play.
"Um, Tina". He asked, she turned to him. "Wanna dance?". She nodded her head. He held her hand and took her to the dance floor. He gently wrapped his arms around her bare waist while she slid her arms around his neck, her skin felt so soft against his and her body was so warm that he pulled her closer so she was pressed against him and she didn't seem to mind. They rocked back and forth both listening to the words.

As the chorus played john could feel Tina's french manicured nails rubbing against his ear. He laughed and she smiled, john pulled her even closer to him and they pressed their foreheads together looking into each other eyes.

Now she don't like him, she never met him
Groupies try to take advantage of him, he won't let 'em
He don't need 'em, so he treats 'em like he treats 'em
Better them than me, she don't agree with him
She's mad at that, he's not havin that
So those opposites attract like mag-a-nets
She's sees more than the Benz wagon, the friends taggin along

She get's a glimpse of Shawn and she likes that

Bout to show you where the cheese, let you know I ain't playin
But, before I jump out the window, what's your name?
As soon as the last three words were said John and Tina were interrupted by Avey.
"Guys, guys". He said. Tina took a sigh as she turned to her little brother. "Come on, I'm preforming my rap next". Avey then ran to the stage area while tina turned back to john.
"Sit next to me?". She asked, he smiled.
"Of course". He said. The two walked over to the crowd and took their seats while Randy announced him.
"Now ladies and gentleman and young kids, please welcome our next performer, who goes by the name Lil' D". Randy stepped down as Avey walked onto the stage, he waved to tina who smiled and waved back.
What's up Robin hood baby, it's ya boy Lil' D

Then went to the major labels by himself bein fly
But everywhere they go they be like, "Where that Paul Wall guy?"
He ova here so let's get somethin clear
You the past mothafreaka and the future is here
and you was here before me so let this be a reminder
I'm the rapper they waitin for, you the rapper they tried of
The crowd stood and cheered for Avey as he took a few bows before disappearing behind the curtains. Tina quickly went to the back to be welcome by an excited Avey.
"Tina, tina did you see me, I spit a freestyle!". He said happily.
"I saw, you were great". She said, at that time john had just walked up to them.
"Thank you so much john". Avey said running up to him, john picked him up and they shared a hug.
"Ah, it ain't nothin avey, you were great out there". He complimented. Avey couldn't keep the huge toothy smile off of his face. "Listen, you know when you asked me could you go on the road with me, but I said I had to ask your sister first?'.
"Yeah".
"Well, I did". He then looked up at tina. "And she said yes".
"Really!". Avey said, he ran up to tina after john set him down. "Thank you Tina".
"Your welcome, besides, I think you deserve it".
"Also, she's comin with us".
"That's even cooler!". Avey said. "I'm gonna go tell my friends". Without a second glance he disappeared out of the hallway and john and tina were left alone.
"So...when do we leave?". Tina asked.
"Tomorrow, I'll come pick you guys up around 11:00am, is that alright for you?".
"That's fine".
"Good so I'll see you tomorrow bright and early?". He asked. Tina smiled as she walked up to him, she kissed him on the cheek.
"Bright and early". She said and with no other words, she left.
