Whats next?** New 2024 Story Preview

 As promised, a preview to my new story will be added to each one of my posted stories. I have a hard time doing exclusives but since Whisper’s of Fate and Chosen Love should be wrapping up (ish) around the end of the year I have decided to make my next story a Patreon exclusive. I will leave part of the story up but hoping to get more subscribers, more feed back, and some other ideas flowing since next year I will be limiting the romance/ erotica stories, even my sequels to work on my fantasy/sci stories. 

So although there is one part up of Like's for Sale on Wattpad for preview the first 5 will be on Patreon via subscription and updates will push out Jan 1st 2024.

I appreciate all the love, the likes, the votes and the hilarious comments.

(As previously mentioned it is a spin off from the the Supastar series so you will run into Demarcus and Noemi on occasion, anywhoo meet Isyss and Vibe.)

"Ooo Jabari." Isyss moaned as he pushed into her. 

He held her legs as he pinned her ankles above her shoulders. 

"Damn, Isyss." He said going deeper as she clawed at his back. 

"You're ready?" Isla asked interrupting her sister's thoughts as Isyss looked herself over.

Isyss had light brown skin, curly brown hair, and honey brown eyes, just like her sister and father. Her frame was covered, per usual since she wasn't big on dressing like everyone else. Really she was a pretty girl but there was something missing and everyone could tell.

She was in the latest-fashioned woman's suit with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. Really, she wasn't quite sure if it fit her, almost but she had saved all her money towards a night like this. If she was being completely honest, this was the first time in the last year she had spent money on herself when all of it had been on Jabari, aka Rari.

He was an upcoming rapper that she was sure she had just landed a deal with Mar Rackz, well almost sure she had.

After months of hard work, paying people off, paying for a music video, and all in between, they were going to make it.

Isyss was his manager and Jabari was the star.

It was just two years ago she told him she would make him a star and their time had finally come.

Isyss was all smiles as she pushed up her glasses and thought to their night last week.

Jabari was about to give up, but she reminded him that he was close to fame. The entire time they had been friends they had never crossed the line before, but that night they had. They hadn't really talked about it since, but Isyss was sure they didn't have to. They were in sync, they always had been.

"I guess this is it." Isyss said sure this would be the beginning of their lives changing.

"You're wearing that?" Isla asked her little sister.

She saw such a beautiful young girl but here she was in a suit, with her hair pulled back.

"Yea, come on." She said, and Isla sighed as she wore her simple but cute fashion nova dress.

If she had known that tonight would have been more eventful, she would have chosen something else and definitely brought her sister a dress too.

"Come on." Isyss pulled her sister out of their hotel room.

They weren't rich, but they were well off.

After their parents divorced two years ago, they were awarded trusts, but neither could touch them until 25, Isla was a year away. Isyss had just turned 21 and was a recent college dropout. Her sister opted to never go, and instead, they worked to make ends meet while their parents were constantly trying to buy their children. In most cases, it worked. The two shared a nice two-bedroom loft downtown and all they had to do was pay utilities.

"Dad is going to be pissed you spent all your money on this nigga." Isla said shaking her head as they exited.

"Let alone that he been livin wit us." Isla added and Isyss waved her off.

"It all worked out, were goin to be signed and he'll pay me back and then some." She smiled and Isla side eyed her.

"Yea okay." She said not really believing it.

Isla was sure Jabari had just been using Isyss and she was sure her sister was secretly in love with him.

"We should have stopped by the house." She said and Isyss tucked a loose hair back.

"It'll be fine. Look I spent the last of my money on this suit, the suite and a section we are going to celebrate. After I tell Jabari the good news you can go grab me somethin to change into." She said and Isla turned to her surprised.

"Fa real?" She asked and Isyss nodded.

"Yasssss." Isla said as they got off the elevator.

They headed out of the five-star hotel and hit the street.

The lounge was right across the street and it was packed, mostly because it wasn't just a talent night but because all the majority of celebrities were going to be there.

Isyss had thought ahead she had no intention of waiting until tonight so every day she woke up, headed to Mar Rackz record label, studio, and if she had a tip-off lunch. He ignored her for weeks but eventually, he started to speak to her, and she slipped him a usb. She was never really sure if he listened. As of yesterday, he gave her five minutes and she used them to talk up Jabari. The last thing she thought was him agreeing to brunch, so tonight was to celebrate and tomorrow she was sure after their meeting that all the hard work had paid off.

"Come on." Isyss said leading her sister to the door.

Surprisingly enough they were on the list.

"I got a section come on." Isyss said and Isla looked at her like she was crazy.

"What the hell?" Isla said looking at her sister.

"Well, he has to play the part." Isyss said and Isla sucked her teeth.

"Fine." She said sure her sister would learn her lesson one day.

As they approached Jabari was standing the couch with his friends popping bottles.

Isyss was trying not to be horrified since the section was on her card in her name.

"Oh hell na." Isla said with her arms folded.

She quickly grabbed a bottle girl.

"That's supposed to be me and my sister's section, please remove our card and refund us." Isla said and the bottle girl looked confused.

As Isla handled that Isyss marched over to Jabari as he climbed down from the couches.

"What in the entire fuck?" isyss walked up with Jabari who was sitting next to Malcolm a manager with Columbia Records.

He was a 30-year-old hot shot apparently in his prime.

Malcolm was dressed in an Armani suit with a low cut and nearly perfect smile. He was handsome without a doubt but he was also an asshole. The same asshole who was gunning for Isyss's job as Jabari's manager.

On the other side of Jabari was Gia.

Typical light-skinned Instagram model. She had long curly hair currently dyed blond and pressed straight. She was a beautiful woman but she was vain. The only reason she even started to fuck Jabari was because she thought he had money. After an embarrassing confession, she left and laughed him off.

It was nearly a week ago she had broke things off with Jabari and told him he was nothing. It was a few days later Isyss reminded him of his talent. Told him he just had to keep trying and made him promise he would. It was that same night they slept together. Isyss was no virgin but Jabari was the second man she had ever been with and she assumed after that night things had changed, and they did just not how she expected.

Isyss didn't know whether to feel more betrayed by Malcolm or Gia's presence as she looked at Jabari.

He avoided his gaze as he grabbed a glass from in front of him.

"Yo chill, ima cover the section tonight." Jabari smiled.

He was handsome with his perfect smile, tattooed body, and slim build. He had the typical bad boy look and it was the main reason Isla suggested her sister to stay away from him. Jabari looked good but also looked as if he was no good and would do you wrong, in Isyss's case he just had.

She looked him over in his new ensemble definitely not what he had left her house in.

He wore a large chain with the name RARI on it, a plain white tee, and a pair of Amiri jeans with Jordans..

"Jabari-" She started and Malcolm cut her off.

"You can address my newest signed artist as Rari Rotty." He said pulling out his card and passing it to her as if she was some groupie.

"Your fuckin kiddin me right?" Isyss said smacking his hand down and Jabari's friends laughed.

The same men she saw everyday, gave rides too, called her 'sis', were sitting there mockingly laughing.

"Ugly ass suit!" One of em laughed and the others joined in.

Isyss felt so out of place as everyone including Jabari laughed.

Red from both anger and embarrassment Isyss turned to storm away but instead slipped on the spilled liquor on the floor that Jabari and his friends had just poured.

Mortified as everyone looked Isyss laid there for a brief moment.

"Isy-" Jabari tried to stand but Gia held his arm as she joined in with others laughing at Isyss.

Isyss sat up, brushed herself off, and walked away.

"What the entire fuck?" Isla said pulling her sister.

"Let's jus fuckin go." Isyss said feeling people's phones and cameras on her.
---------------------------------
Earlier that night...

"Okay well, you have to go for what you want." Isyss smiled at Vibe.

It was some random woman he had met as they were getting everything set up for tonight's upcoming artist event.

Isyss was all smiles as she sat in a Hello Kitty t shirt and jeans, her curly hair was styled half up, half down.

"I don't think it works like that." Vibe laughed as he looked her over.

He figured he had an hour before the lounge opened so he could just relax.

Vibe was 24, handsome, talented, and chasing his dreams.

His 6 foot 2 chocolate frame had its tattoos covered by his latest outfit. He was a looker especially when he smiled. His smile alone was as breathtaking as he was.

Vibe just happened to be there for work since he was an assistant to the A&R guy, or at least one of the A&R guys. He was dressed in a suit, the most expensive he had along with a pair of Stacey Adams he spent his whole check to get last minute. It was all for work but he told himself it would all pay off, he just needed to dress the part in order to be successful.

"Well. I think it's all about taking chances because if you don't you never would have known or know what will happen." She smiled at him.

"I took a chance and I'm sure my life is going to change, just 24 hours." She said and he looked at her

Isyss adjusted her glasses and turned to him.

"Seriously, Go, Go, sing it. I want to hear it anyway." She encouraged him.

He wasn't sure why Malcolm had him waiting there before they even opened but he was and he coincidentally ran into Isyss

She was a pretty woman, a little bookish but she had an attractive personality to match her face.

The complete opposite of his girlfriend.

Vibe was sure she was a few years younger but just the last hour alone he felt like she had an old soul and had nothing but good intentions.

"Go." She said pulling his arm and he laughed.

"Ight. ight." He said getting up on the stage.

he grabbed the mic before he glanced around he turned it on.

Isyss gave him two thumbs up as she raised her phone.

Vibe on her request Sang Henny Talk by Rose Marie

Hennessey on your lips got you talkin real sweet baby
Talk is cheap, baby show it to me, baby
You keep on sayin you got what i need,baby

She raised her finger and he smirked hitting a higher note.

Make me believe, take me seriously.
Another cup, gone fill it up.
Drift off to sleep, see you in my dreams.

Vibe had gotten so into the song that everyone, the workers included was cheering him on all the way until the end.

It wasn't until he climbed off the stage and made his way back to Isyss he realized he had fucked up.

"Oh my god, you really can sing." She grabbed his arm as she sat her phone down.

He didn't get the chance to respond because his boss's boss stood there looking pissed.

"I uh- it was nice to meet you but I gotta go." Vibe excused himself.

"Chase let me explain." Vibe approached.

"Wasn't the agreement that you write?" Chase said as he headed to the other side of the club and Vibe followed.

"I was jus playin around on the mic, but you heard that they liked me" He said.

"They liked a song that you sung." Chase said waving him off.

"And the songs that I wrote?" Vibe asked and Chase stopped.

"Not this again." Chase said and turned to Vibe.

"You got a good thing goin why ruin it?" He asked as he pointed to a few vendors to go around back.

"Gettin paid half and writing hits that are currently on the top 10-" He said and Chase pulled him to the side.

"And you were compensated." He said him.

"Fairly?" Vibe scoffed.

Chase looked him over.

"You know what your right, you're fired." Chase said and Vibe looked at him caught off guard.

"What?" Vibe said and Chase walked off.

"Get with Maria on your last paycheck." He said heading to the other side of the bar.

Hours later...

Vibe sat at the bar across the street from the lounge.

He heard a roar of laughter 20 minutes ago and was sure that he was missing out on tonight's festivities but he was too in his feelings to sit in the same lounge with the boss who had just fired him.

Vibe was even more sure that tonight would have played out differently.

He was sure it was because he performed, it felt better to be on the stage rather than behind it.

Vibe was born a star, anyone who knew him thought the same but here he was after two years at a job that promised him fame. Instead, he was working as an assistant and didn't even get to meet the stars he had written for. He was another person working under another person who actually worked with the stars.

"Double please." He said once the bartender returned filling his glass once more.

"Can I get the same?" A woman's voice spoke. 

Vibe looked over and it was Isyss taking off her jacket and sitting next to him.

"Didn't quite go as planned?" He asked looking at her and she shook her head.

"Same here, same here." He said and the bartender poured her drink.

"It's on me." Vibe said putting down a twenty for their drinks.
