As the movie progressed, T.I.'s mind was on Nelly and his surprise that night. He wore the necklace everywhere he could, with the exception of the set of course, because it made him feel special and loved by the man he adored. The night Nelly planned and they shared together was needed by both men for so long and was more than the younger rapper expected. He always loved being surprised by Nelly though and after that night of pleasure and passion, he loved the older rapper even more, if that were even possible. They called each other whenever their busy schedules permitted it, which wasn't as often as both men would've liked, because hearing the other's voice reenergized them to continue on with their hectic lives.

T.I., Evan, and Lauren had been spending a lot of time together lately just talking and relaxing themselves. The caramel colored rapper was now more sure about what he told Nelly about Evan. The way his costar would hang on his every word and pay such close attention to everything the young rapper said made it obvious, well to T.I. anyway, that he was curious about him on some level. T.I. was flattered by this but he wasn't going to do anything to provoke those feelings in any way because it would not be fair to him and he told the St. Lunatic rapper that he wasn't going to encourage him in any way. He just talked to him as he normally would, not aware that Evan had already fallen so hard for him.

After a long day of shooting, the three stars returned to Lauren's trailer and the two boys talked as she took a shower. Evan was crazy about T.I. He never felt this way about a guy or a girl before and although he didn't fully understand what was going on, he liked it. It was hard for him to contain himself around the caramel colored rapper but he tried his best because he didn't want anyone knowing what he was feeling. Lauren returned from her shower a while later and they all relaxed themselves and watched TV. Evan had to leave shortly after to meet up with a couple of his friends to hang out. T.I. was lying down on the couch watching the TV and Lauren came and sat next to him. She too was looking at the TV; they had some late night videos on.

"You did great today," she said, breaking the silence between them. "As always."

"Yea. You're a natural at this."

"So are you. I'm glad I get to work with someone like you."

"And what's someone like me?"

"I dunno. Actually I do. You're so professional and bring life to your character. You make it easy to work with you."

"You're such a sweet guy."

"You sound surprised."

"I am. But I like it."

"I'm full of surprises."

"You sure are," she answered in a saddened voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Um, it's nothing."

"You're lying."

"How you know that?"

"Because. So what's up?"

"I just wish my boyfriend and I would talk more like this."

"He treats you bad?"

"No. It's nothing like that. It's just---. Never mind. Forget it."

"Talk to me."

"It's okay. Forget I brought it up."

"Lauren."

"I love him. It just isn't enough sometimes."

"Why?"

"Do you think relationships can ever be more than just sex?"

T.I. took a while to answer because he remembered all the conversations he and Nelly had. "I know it can."

"I used to think so too but not anymore."

"It's only about sex for him?"

"At first we had a real relationship. I know he loves me. It's only been about sex lately though."

"You never hang out anymore or anything?"

"No. We haven't had a real date in forever. When we do get together, we usually grab something to eat, go back to his house, watch TV for a while, and then have sex."

"Oh. It's not enough for you is it?"

"No. I can't even remember the last decent conversation we had."

"He is a guy you know. Most guys constantly think about sex."

"I know that. He needs to realize that our relationship isn't just about sex though."

"Yea. If he's set in that way though what can you do?"

"I don't know."

"Have you tried talking to him about this?"

"Yes. He seems to think we're fine though."

"Look at you. You're hurt," T.I. said, noticing that his female costar was crying.

"I'm sorry."

The young actor hugged her to try and calm her down. "Don't be sorry. It's okay."

"Why can't he see how much he's hurting me? Why can't he just be there for me?"

"Because he's a jerk. Just forget him."

"I can't. I love him so much."

"But he's not giving you what you want. What you need."

"I don't know anymore. I gotta go," she said as she got up.

"You gonna be okay?"

"Yea. Thank you Clifford."

"I didn't do anything."

"You did a lot more than you know."

"Anytime then."

Lauren London tightly hugged her costar and left in a hurry, tears still streaming down her face. He was worried about her but this made him appreciate the relationship he shared with Nelly even more. The sex was always mind-blowing but it was the deep connection the two of them had with each other that really put their relationship over the edge. He wasn't expecting her to break down the way she did but he was glad that he could be there to help her through it. The studio was quiet and dark as he walked through it to wait for his limo outside. Lauren was long gone and he sat on a bench in the dark, warm night and waited for his ride. His phone vibrated in his pants shortly after the limo picked him up.

"Hi baby," he said, knowing who it was.

"Hey Tip!"

"You know me too well Cornell."

"Why you say that?"

"I was just thinking about you."

"Yea? I'm so loved durrty."

"You are. Especially by me."

"Why were you thinking of me."

"My costar Lauren and her boyfriend are having problems. He's a jerk."

"What kind of problems?"

"She wants a relationship but he only wants sex."

"Oh. Well we are guys you know. We all think the same."

"Yea. But hearing about that got me thinking about you. I mean I love the sex and all but I love what we have emotionally way more."

"Me too. Is she gonna be okay?"

"I hope so. She doesn't deserve this shit."

"No one does. I miss you!"

"I know. So what up homeboy?"

"Chillin' kid. Just called to see what you were up to. To tell you that I was thinking of you. And I miss you. And I love you. You know!"

"Um, still filming. I'm stressed out. Constantly thinking of and missing my man. Dealing with script changes and missing my man."

"You already said that," Nelly said as he laughed.

"Oh yea. Oh well. You should feel more special now."

"I always feel special when I'm talking to you."

"You do? Then my job is done."

"You do it so well."

"How are things with Murphy?"

"Same as usual. He's not gonna come around."

"Don't say that."

"Why not? It's the truth isn't it?"

"I don't know what to say."

"Me either."

"You got any surprises planned for someone special in your life anytime soon?" T.I. asked his love coyly.

"Um actually. I do have something sweet planned for someone that I love very much."

"So what are you doing for me---I mean this person who you love so much?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Nah. It'll just ruin the surprise."

"Good. Because it's not for you anyway punk," Nelly said slickly.

"What?"

"I'm going to spend some time with my mom. Well she's coming out here to chill with me."

"You're so mean to me," he said as he pouted.

"Careful baby! You now how your sexy ass pouting turns me on."

"Forget you. I don't love you. That was mean."

"You actually think that if I were planning a surprise for you I'd tell you? Come on baby."

"You're so good to me. I love you so much Cornell. I know I always say that but I mean it even more each time I do say it."

"Same here. I'm gone on you durrty. Don't worry though; I'll plan another surprise for you. Many more!"

"Thank you. I gotta go. I'm tired as hell."

"Long day huh?"

"Of course. Gotta make that money."

"Sounds like someone could use a world famous Cornell Hayes massage."

"Don't tease me Cornell. I'd seek you out for that shit."

"I know. I got you whipped."

"Nigga please. You're the one who can't get enough of your skinny prince. Remember that?" T.I. asked as he laughed a little.

"Of course. You are my skinny prince baby. Well I'll let you go because Junior's starting to wake up."

"That ain't my fault. He's always up as far as I could tell."

"Your voice calls to him every time. Night baby boy. Love you."

"I love you Cornell. One."

The crescent moon hung high in the dark sky, illuminating the city beneath it. Los Angeles was quiet and still, even though it's known for its infamous busy lifestyle at any time. In the hotel suite of the caramel colored rapper T.I., he was fast asleep because it had been yet another long day of shooting. As the movie got further into development, more and more stress was placed on the actors because there was a great push to get the movie done and out to the public. Schedules, shooting, and now promoting the movie took its toll on everyone, especially T.I. because he had a lot to prove not only to the public but to himself as well. He did believe in himself, and had Nelly's support to back him up as well, but he had to prove himself to the public because he didn't want to just be known as another musician trying to act. The young rapper fidgeted around on his bed.

The sun was a huge ball of orange fire sitting on the horizon as it illuminated the sky and created a slightly warmer temperature. The waves gently crashed and caressed the sand as T.I. stared up at the sky through shades. The young rapper was on a beach lying on a blanket and trying to relax his tense and stressed body. It was working to an extent but his muscles were too wound up to just relax. He needed a massage bad. He started drifting off to sleep when he felt someone crawl on top of him and pressed their lips against his. The caramel colored rapper melted into it as the stranger continued the sensual assault on his mouth. As the sun kept on dancing on the sky, the two men's tongues played sinfully with each other's.

"I'm so glad you took me back," the man said as he sat on his stomach and stared at him.

T.I. took his sunglasses off and stared into a pair of eyes that was full with hope and dreams. "And why's that?"

"So we could have this again. I wasn't ready to give it up back then and I'm not ready to now."

"I know baby. It was hard on both of us."

"I was dying without you Tip," Nelly truthfully admitted. "I was a lost, scared child without you there to hold me."

"We won't have to go back there again. You mean too much to me and I won't let that happen again."

"I was the one who messed up."

"But I should've been there for you. I should've listened to you and not been so stubborn. It just hurt. Really bad."

"I'm sorry baby."

"I know you are. It was a mistake. I understand that now. I just wish it didn't have to take me that long to realize it."

"Yea. It took me losing you to realize how important you really are to me."

"Same here."

"Good."

"So what are we doing now?"

"I dunno. This is your dream Cliff. I'm doing whatever you want me to do."

"Is that right?"

"Very right."

"Well then, come and please me."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Gimme a massage. I'm tense."

"My pleasure!"

Nelly quickly kissed him and got off his body as T.I. sat up and stared out at the ocean. The sun was completely gone now as the St. Lunatic rapper crawled behind his man's body and rested his hands on his shoulders. The caramel colored rapper was extremely tense as he got to work on his stiff neck, shoulders, and back. T.I. closed his eyes at the touch of his man's fingers on his bare flesh. He kneaded the young man's knots away from his body, which caused all the stress to slowly start melting away. His fingers worked magic on T.I.'s skin and his fingers were soon replaced with soft kisses. Starting off on his shoulder, the older rapper kissed everywhere he just massaged in an effort to relieve even more stress.
