Crème de la Crème (Chris Brown Story)

Eleven.

Ashton:

Early Monday I was in the break room getting a bottle of water. My mother called and told me I should start cutting back on coffee because she noticed it was making me a little edgy so I was trying to see if I could take her advice.

"Bro Saturday was fucking lit." Sean said as he slapped hands with August "Wasn't it? We need to link up and do that shit again!"

"What was Saturday?" I questioned

"Aw man Ash, where you came from?" Sean asked

"I was here the whole time" I shrugged "What did y'all go out and do on Saturday?" I asked

"We uh... it was um-"

"Hey you guys, Saturday was so fun. Aaron had me rol-" Adrienne's words came to a halt as her eyes landed on me "Good morning Mr. Michaels." she looked at the guys with wide eyes before scurrying away

"Wait... all y'all niggas went out on Saturday?" I questioned

I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now. My best friends and my brother go out with my secretary and didn't bother to inform me or see if I wanted to go? That was completely fucked up.

"I was texting Evie on Saturday and she wasn't in a good mood. Sean and I were already going out for drinks" August's words ain't make no type of sense the way he was rushing them out

"We were going to invite you but Aaron said you and Evie don't really rock with each other like that and we just wanted a smooth night. Evie invited Adrienne and her friend and that was that" Sean said

So not only did they completely leave me out of their plans, they replaced me with Evie.

"So y'all chose a bitch over me?" I questioned "Cool." I said walking away

"C'mon man don't be like that" Sean called after me.

"Nah bruh, it's cool." I said making my way to my office. "Adrianne, make these copies and make sure it's in everyone's mailbox." I said setting a manila folder down on her desk as I passed by.

"Do you want me to come in an-"

"Copies." I cut her off before she could even finish her sentence. I wasn't in the mood for anybody or their shit today.

I dialed Aaron's number and put him on speaker "My nigga do you know what time it is?" he questioned with sleep heavily in his voice

"Tell me something bruh." I began "All y'all muthafuckas decided to just pull an all-nighter on Saturday and just say fuck me?" I questioned

He kissed his teeth and blew out heavily "Man Evie was there. It was supposed to be her and August originally but she decided to bring her lil' girlfriend along so he invited Sean who then invited me and Adrianne tagged along with Evie I guess-"

"When the hell did they get close? They don't even talk at work" I noted

"I don't know but listen, though you were in thought, you couldn't be invited because you were the conflict of interest. You just put the girl on probation, this whole get together was to cheer her up and make sure she good and whatnot. Inviting you would have just caused more problems that nobody wants" He said "Cause she a feisty girl and you... you ain't shit now with that being said can I go back to sleep?" he asked

"Yeah, whatever." I said disconnecting the call. I unloosened my tie and sat back in my chair. This was some bullshit and they knew it, conflict of interest? These niggas act like I was gonna chew the bitch head off.
