S) “Yeah he really is. I can’t wait to see it.”
(A) “Me either. I hope the scenes they shot of me actually make it in it.” Then Autumn spots Trey coming so she tells Shanell she hopes she enjoys the rest of her night and disappears. Aleen and Ty also was making their way over since they saw Shanell talking to Autumn at the last minute. Trey got stopped on his way back by one of the producers so he was talking to him. In the meantime Ty and Aleen were able to talk to Shanell.
(TY) “Why was that bitch over here? I hope you put her in her place.”
(S) “Who?”
(A) “The one you were talking too.”
(S) “Why would I put her in her place?”
(TY) “What she tell you?”
(S) “Nothing. She just came over here talking to me while she sat for a minute.”
(TY) “That was Autumn.”
(S) “What!”
(TY) “Yes! You didn’t know that?”
(S) “No!”
(A) “I was wondering why you were talking to her like ya’ll were cool.”
(TY) “I know. We thought ya’ll were talking women to women or something.”
(S) “How would I know who she was when I’ve never saw her before?”
(A) “We thought Trey told you.”
(S) “No! He never even mentioned that she was here.”
(TY) “Then what the hell she say to you?”
(S) “I still can’t believe she came over here like that…shakes head exasperated…she really wasn’t talking about anything but how her feet was bothering her. Not once did she let on who she was to me.”
(A) “That heaux knew what she was doing.”
(TY) “See that’s the crazy shit! Where that bitch go. She fittin to get a beat down.”
(A) “Right though! She knew who Shanell was. Why come over and talk when you obviously tryna get at her man.” Ty was looking around the room to see where she was. She had been itching for Autumn to get out of line.
(S) “Why can’t I seem to get away from the bullshit.”
(A) “Cousin don’t let that girl bring you out of your character. I’ll beat that bitch ass if she comes near you again.”

She was looking around to see where Aleen and Ty had gone off to. “Oh Autumn this is Aleen and you’ve met Ty. Can you excuse me for a minute?” Autumn said sure and then Trey walked off. Ty and Aleen both wasn’t going to stand there and talk to her so they just left her standing there and went to get some drinks. Shanell’s eyes finally met up with Treys. She saw her baby coming toward her. He always looked good in her eyes even when he was walking around stripped down to his CK’s. Trey looked casually comfortable wearing a black tee, denim jeans, pair of Jordans and a Gucci jacket that tied in with his sneaks. Her heart raced as his eyes penetrated right through her. When is he gonna remember me she thought. They both were all smiles as their eyes were fixed on each other. When Trey went to embrace her he held on to her a little tighter than usual as he kissed her. Shanell didn’t want him to feel her stomach as she tried to conceal it by wearing a spaghetti strap baby doll dress so she hurriedly let him go and spoke.
“Hey!” Trey figured she was trying not to get caught up because of their situation so he let her pushing him away again slide. He then spoke to Evan and Macus and shook hands with them. They walked off so Trey and Shanell could talk.
“I’m surprised to see you here. I saw Aleen already.”
“Well I didn’t know how you would feel about me being here. I hope it‘s a good surprise?”
“Babygirl it’s all good. I’m glad you came.”
“How come you didn’t invite me to come then?”
“Man I wasn’t even thinking about it. It’s just a party. I wouldn’t of had you fly here just for that. You still recuperating.”
“Trey I’ve been out for a few weeks now. I’m fine.” Trey’s eyes travel all over Shanell’s body.
“Damn baby you sure are.” Shanell blushes “You want a drink or anything?”
“Oh no I’m good.” Trey then takes Shanell by the hand and walks her around through the crowd and introduces her to different ones that he wanted her to meet.

“The Four Seasons. That shit felt so good you just don’t know. I didn’t want to get off that table.”
“It must was good. You barely wanna get out the bed.” Ty was curious to know if Trey knew Shanell was here.
“You should do that for Shanell one day.”
“Yeah something like that would be nice especially since she’s been in the hospital for the longest. I probably do it for her some time when I get back home.” Bingo. She got what she was looking for. Trey and Ty continued to talk about the past weeks events and the party tonight. Ty was asking Trey questions about Autumn and what was her deal. He said nothing really. She’s just a real cool girl that he likes to talk to. Then she asked him about Shanell and what his thoughts were on the two of them. He told Ty about the flashbacks that he had. He never told her about them, but he said it’s the stangest thing to have a memory attached to a feeling and then just like that it’s gone. He said it was hard to explain but in those instances he knew who she was. There were strong feelings there and all he knows is that he hopes he can get that back but he doesn’t want to risk hurting her if nothing changes. He’s still confused about a lot of things and Nikki is one of them.
“Trey please don’t tell me you have feeling for her?”
“No! It’s nothing like dat. I just don’t understand why I been cheating on Shanell with her if I’m so in love with her.”
“Trey you didn’t cheat on her. You slept with Nikki one time and that only happened because she drugged you. You have always been faithful to Shanell and if Nikki is telling you other wise she’s lying. You wouldn’t give her the time of day and she hated that.”
“What about Autumn?”
“What about her?”
“I don’t know if I had sex with her but I kissed her.”
“When?”
“She told me it happened right before I fell.”
“Wait a minute Trey. Shanell was in the hospital before you right?” Trey looks confused.
“Yeah. Why you say dat?”
“You were cheating on her while she was in a coma?”

They stayed in there, talked and joked around with one another for a good two hours. They still had the spa to go too.
(A) “So Marcus are you getting worked on in the spa? You seem a bit uptight.”
(M) “Are you gonna do it?”
(A) “I guess that’s a no.”
(TY) “Evan why you never talk? Your always so quiet and serious.”
(E) “I talk.”
(A) “Not as much as this one.” Aleen says looking at Marcus.
(M) “You want me don’t you?” Then he flexes his muscles. They all sceamed with laughter. Then he grabs Aleen and rubs her shoulders letting her know he was just playing since they were sitting by each other.
(E) “Marcus know, I have my moments. I just be focused on the task at hand.”
(TY) “Ok but you need to relax sometimes and laugh.” He smiles. They finally got up from the table and went to get their spa treatments. Evan and Marcus had a seat in the waiting area.
(M) “Now Shanell just to let you know when you go back there we will be accompanying you to see what room you’re in and who’s your masseuse.”
(S) “That’s fine but know once you see that, you’re leaving.”
(M) “Believe me we know.” Ty was up at the desk letting them know that they were there for their appointments. She scheduled them all for regular massages. The receptionist told them to have a seat. Shanell was looking over everything they had to offer. Something caught her eye.
(S) “Oo Aleen look they have one for a mother-to-be.” Everybody curiously looked at Shanell wondering why she got excited about that. Aleen didn’t know how to react. Shanell had to think fast. “I just think that’s cool that they offer something like that for pregnant women ok, so stop looking at me like I said something crazy.”
(TY) “Well alright.”
It was finally time for them to be seen. Evan and Marcus went in the back and briefly spoke to her masseuse and then they walked back out front to have a seat. Shanell’s masseuse name was Cindy.

(A) “You can handle it.”
(E) “Where you two off too?”
(TY) “We’re waiting for miss slow poke to get ready so we can have brunch but for now we’re about to go in the TY Lounge.”
(M) “We were just coming to find out what was on her agenda for today.”
(TY) “I can tell you. After we eat we’re going to the spa and then we’ll be getting ready for the party tonight.”
(A) “I can’t wait to get my back worked on.”
(M) “I can do it for you.” Then he holds up his hands. “These hands are lethal.” Ty starts bagging up and Evans shaking his head.
(A) “How bout you keep your lethal weapons over there. I’m not ready to die yet.”
(M) “I bet you‘d die smiling.” Aleen did just that and smiled. She couldn’t even say anything. “So she in the room getting dressed?”
(A) “Yes Sherlock!”
(E) “Alright. We’ll be down there with her once she gets ready.”
(TY) “Ok.” Ty said in a serious tone mocking Evan. They head on down to the TY lounge. They notice it’s raining out. “I hope it doesn’t stay like this for the rest of the day.”
(A) “I know. This weather fucks with my back. I hate it.”
(TY) “I hate having normal back aches. I couldn’t imagine one from an injury.” They finally entered the lounge. There were a few people sitting in there talking. They didn’t start serving drinks until 2:30 so nothing was open yet. Aleen and Ty went to take a seat over by the fire place. It was stunning. The face of it was so long it covered most of the wall it was apart of. The ladies wanted to melt in those seats once they sat it them.
(A) “We can’t let Shanell sit down once she gets here.”
(TY) “Why not?”
(A) “She’s not gonna want to get up.” They both started laughing.
(TY) “I wish she would hurry up. I’m starving.” Shortly after Shanell, Evan and Marcus walks up.
(S) “I heard you way over there. I’m here already.”
(TY) “Well it took you long enough. The parties not until tonight. Whatchu dressed up for?” Ty was joking with her.
(S) “Be quiet!” They walked to “The Garden” to have lunch.

He was really thinking about talking to Troy about tackling a few new songs.

Ty was on the phone with Shanell while she was laying on her bed in the hotel room. It had been a full two weeks since they had been in New York. She had been trying to get Shanell to come there when she found out from Trey that this Saturday night they were having a wrap up party for the completion of the video.
“Shanell girl are you coming?”
“I don’t know Ty. Trey didn’t even tell me about it so maybe I shouldn’t.”
“Girl if you don’t come on. I want you here. I told you to come and bring Aleen with you. Come on! We gone have some fun.”
“You know I don’t really do the party scene too much.”
“What did I tell you? We need to celebrate. You’ve been couped up in that hospital and now that house, you need to get out. It’s only for a night or the weekend rather. Please Shanell?”
“Ok! And I already talked to Aleen. She said she was down if I wanted to go so I’ll let her know we’re going to New York.”
“Yay! You watch we’re going to have so much fun. Plus I think you being here is gonna be good for Trey. He misses you.”
“How you know?”
“I just know. Get ya ass on the earliest flight and get here ASAP!”
“My flight actually leaves tonight.”
“Heiffer you had me do all this begging when you knew you were coming all along?”
“I love you too Ty.”

Shanell and Aleen finally made it to the “Four Seasons” in New York. Evan and Marcus of course was with them. It was around 5:00 am Saturday morning when they got in. Shanell was exhausted. She slept until 1:00 pm. Aleen had been up but she didn’t want to disturb Shanell. She knew she needed her rest. She noticed her sleep was broken several times from going to the bathroom. Once Aleen was dressed she hung out in Ty’s room. Since it was 1:00 pm they decided to go and wake Shanell up but when they got to the room they noticed she was just getting up anyway.
(TY) “I was about to come and wake ya ass up!”
(S) “What time is it?”
