Drake cringed at the many links he was tagged in involving him and Tae leaving the hospital. It had been a week and gossip sites were still carrying the story. Some went as far as to go to the hospital to see if they could get any type of information on why the two were there.

"Gossip sites still going?" Oliver asked as he looked over Drake's shoulder down to his phone.

"Yea, saying she's pregnant." Drake replied as he continued looking down at his phone, he cleared out the links from his phone, stood up then slipped the phone in his back pocket.

"What Tae say about? She still bothered by it? She seems to be in a better space." Oliver said as his friend became eye level with him

"She's not paying attention to it, she pretty much ignoring everything all the stories, but she much better." Drake answered his questions with confidence. Tae had pretty much-ignored everything. Like Drake she read the stories, she read through the comments, she knew what was being said about her, she just didn't comment on the nonsense. She didn't feel like she needed to prove anything to anybody, nor did she owe anyone an excuse.

Drake stood in a large warehouse, fluorescent white lights lit up a large box-like structure as he stood in the middle of it. He was filming the video for his hit single 'Hotline Bling' as the music played Drake sung and rapped the lyrics. A large camera held up attached to a moving beam caught his every move. Drake never took himself too seriously and this video definitely showed it. As the music finally cut off a male voice began speaking

"NEXT SET! THE GIRLS!" Director X yelled as he cuffed his hands around his mouth for more power. He was a well-established video director who made his mark in music history in the '90s and well into the 2000s and Drake called on him for this video just for that reason. To create one of those Classic X Videos. Drake stepped down from the structure and walked behind the video monitor to see the footage that was just shot, he smiled and laughed at himself as he watched his recorded actions.

A crew of twenty plus beautiful women of all shapes, sizes, and colors began making their way to the built set, dressed in pink shirts tied showing their belly and skin-tight high waisted light denim jeans. Drake looked up at the women some looked very familiar some didn't. As X gave direction to the women on what he wanted them to do, a particular model caught Drake's eye, he squinted as he searched his memory of where exactly he knew her from. As he studied the women, it hit him she did a video with him and one of his artist/friends P Rigen, he looked the beautiful women up and down as she popped her gum listening to the directions

As action was yelled the girls fell into character, Drake watched the women, but then turned his direction to specific. Her name was Ayisha Diaz, who claims to fame was Stripper turned Music Video Model and a short-lived relationship with rapper Bow Wow. Surprisingly she had only shot one video with Drake, but then again the majority of Drake's personal music videos did call for him to have a leading lady.

As the women shot multiple takes, Ayisha caught onto Drake staring at her, more so than he was other women, she gave him a knowing smile as she continued with the scenes. Drake walked closer to X to look at the monitor. Drake turned to his head in the direction of his friend Chubbs but kept his eyes on the woman.

"Where we know her from?" Drake asked his friend his memory already told him but he was sure there was more than one video. Chubbs looked up from his phone.

"Who?" He answered back looking at his friend, then in the direction of what he was looking at. "She did the DnF video with you and P down in St. Martin." Chubbs then continued, as he looked at the women then back at his friend.

"Nah nah, there's gotta be more than one video she did......" Drake said back still looking at the woman. Chubbs stared at his friend with curiosity as to why he wanted to know who the woman was so bad.

"Uuuuhhh.... IG model?..... I know she a stripper... Or was. You probably threw a stack on her once." Chubbs finished as he turned back looking at the woman.

"Yup, that's it." Drake said still looking at her. As the women finished their scene. Drake continued looking at the woman, Chubbs looked at his friend.

"Don't do it. Don't ruin shit, you got something amazing going, don't get yourself into some shit." Chubbs spoke again looking at his friend with a bit of anger. Before Drake opened his mouth the women made her way to the two men. Her sculpted hips swayed side to side as she fell pasted her shoulder down her back.

"Ayisha Diaz." She extended her arm as she smiled at Drake.

"I know. Drake said with a straight face as he took her small manicured hand into his. "Can I help you with something, beautiful?" Drake's charm hit the woman head-on. He kept himself at a safe distance but still remained polite to her.

"I just thought I'd come and introduce myself, you seem to be so focused on me." She answered back still smiling, she blushed at the fact that Drake was more focused on her than he was on the other women. Drake studied her and he knew exactly why she was blushing and currently full of herself.

"I was. I was placing where exactly I knew you from." Drake knew what the girl wanted more attention than actually wanting him. His face remained straight not giving in to her desires. Chubbs looked between Drake and Ayisha. She stood not knowing what else to say, Drake could see the wheels turning in her head trying to get more out of him. Clearly, the conversation wasn't going as she planned and she hadn't thought it would be this difficult to get attention out of him.

"Was there anything else?" Drake asked the woman as he watched her in all her frustration he sat back in the director's chair as he waited for her response.

"No, but I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you." She finally said. The disappointment showed on her face but she did her best to hide it with a forced smile. Drake leaned forward resting his elbows on his thighs as he watched her switch away. She knew he was watching her and he knew she knew he was watching her.
