PORN STARS... More Than Just Moans (47 page)

Jamar looked at his watch and told me that he had to get on set before they started looking for him. I head straight for Mr. Cappello’s office. I wanted to know if he told his son the reason behind my absence.

*****

“Hello, hello, Jazzy, I’ve been hoping to see you. I spoke with Gina and I heard you tore the place down. How are you, did you enjoy yourself?”

Mr. Cappello was standing without stretched arms. He gave me a warm hug and I took in a nose full of his expensive cologne. He always smelled so good.

“I love being up there on that stage, it felt right you know?” I was so comfortable around him now that I felt free to speak candidly.

“At first I was like what in hell were you thinking? But once I hit that stage, I lost myself in the music and it just came to me. I really do have to thank you.”

He smiled and I could tell that he felt that he had done something right.

“Well, Gina is going to send me a copy of your performance and I can’t wait to see it. She couldn’t say enough about you, Jasmine. I’m proud of you, I really am.”

That meant a lot coming from him.

“So what can I do you for?” I took a seat and came right out with it.

“Did you tell your son that I would be staying and performing at the Black Oasis?”

“Of course I did, I told you that I would.”

“Did, umm, did you tell him about—?”

He knew what I was trying to get at. I wanted to know if he told him about Lanell and I being together.

“Look Jazz, I don’t meddle in my son’s personal life. I told him what I needed to tell him and that was it. But I did hear something about him knowing—.”

Mr. Cappello stopped talking and just stared at the door. I turned around and say Breeze standing.

“So you’re back?” he asked with piercing eyes.

“Yeah, got in last night.”

“And you didn’t call, must have had someone else to talk to.”

You could have cut the tension in that office with a knife.

“Well, I have work to do. I’ll see you later, Jazzy.”

I wasn’t going to let Mr. Cappello leave without bring up the fact that I wasn’t scheduled for any movies just in case Breeze was trying to pull a fast one.

“I may not be here, Mr. Cappello. I figured that I would just go home since I wasn’t taping.”

“What are you talking about? I set up three feature films for you myself. You’re fresh off major wins, who would be crazy enough not to use that and put you to work?” he asked as he looked at his son as if Breeze was crazy. There he was thinking with his dick again.

“Don’t leave without seeing again, I’ll go check on it,” he said while exiting his office. Once Mr. Cappello was gone, I just sat there. I didn’t know what angle to take with Breeze. After just standing at the door and looking at me for a while. He walked into the office, slammed the door, and sat down behind his father’s desk.

“So how was your trip, I heard about your wins.”

“Yeah, it was all great.” I kept my answers short and sweet.

“So my dad hooked you up with Gina, how did that go?”

“It was fun, something different.”

“The weather, was it okay?”

That was a weird question but okay, I would play his game. “It was lovely.”

“So, no power outages, no lines down.”

Okay, now I knew where he was going.

“No, nothing like that.”

“SO WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU CALL ME? NO BETTER YET, WHY WAS YOUR PHONE OFF?”

I remained calm even though he was yelling.

“Just didn’t feel like being bothered. I guess I was still mad that you couldn’t come with me.”

I prayed that he brought the bullshit I was selling.

“So you really wanted me there, huh?”

He looked me right in the eyes when he asked me this but I wasn’t backing down. I stared right back into his eyes and lied, “Of course I did. You knew how upset I was that you weren’t coming.

He leaned back in the desk chair and shook his head.

“I can’t believe you’re looking me right in my face and lying to me.”

“What are you talking about?”

My stomach had started to do flips at that point.

“If I was there you wouldn’t have been able to hook back up with Lust.”

He stopped talking and watched for my reaction. When I didn’t give him one he continued, “Yeah, that’s right. Tanya told me all about you two lovebirds. How you two were making out at the award show and how you two damn near fucked in the club, yeah I know it all, fucking slut.”   

My anger was boiling over. If that bitch was going to tell she could have at least told the truth.

“That’s a fucking lie right there,” I said standing up.

“Which part?”

“What do you mean?”

“Which part are lies? The kissing, groping, or are you telling me that you didn’t see him at all.”

I looked down at the smug look on his face and said fuck it.

“You know what, Breeze, fuck you and fuck Tanya; you two can have each other.”

He jumped up so fast that the desk chair was still spinning by the time he got to me. He grabbed both of my arms and pulled me to him.

“NO, FUCK YOU! I gave you everything and you stoop down to what, Lust’s level. He doesn’t have what I have, he will never be me.”

“His level? You will never know what his level is, you will never be able to reach it, baby. See, he doesn’t have some hoe living with him while he’s in another relationship. If you really liked me the way you say you did, you wouldn’t still be living with that bitch. You wouldn’t take her word over mine, and most of all, you wouldn’t talk to or treat me the way you do. And that’s why you will never be on his level.”

“What are you talking about? I’m not the one who’s married?”

“That one is old already, find something new,” I said breaking his grip. I now had the info on Lanell’s marriage. I knew that he was separated.

“You already knew the situation between Tanya and me when you first started messing with me. She caught us fucking for crying out loud.”

“Well, shame on me,” I said as I headed for the door.

“Come back here, Jasmine.”

“Sorry, but this conversation is over, see you around.”    

Chapter 20
 

“Karma Is What He Kraves”

I couldn’t believe my father was in L.A., let alone standing at my front door. He looked the same since I last saw him except his hairline was receding a little more. He was wearing some black slacks, a cream colored polo shirt, and some freshly shined dress shoes. Since I looked just like him I was happy to know I’d be handsome when I got older. I didn’t know what to say, I was speechless. My father opened the storm door himself and that’s when reality kicked back in.

“Dad, what are you doing here?”

“I was traveling with a coworker of mine on business. Since I was in L.A., I decided to stay an extra day so I could visit you, and see your new house. You sounded so excited about it when you called me last week. I thought I’d surprise you. Are you not happy to see me?”

“I am. Come in.”

I gave him a big hug as I thought about how I was going to hide my porn, my awards, and Tyree. Well, not really Tyree, but hide the fact that he was my man.

“I was hoping I could spend the night here, if that’s okay with you. If not, I’ll need you to drive me to the nearest hotel in a few hours.”

“Of course you can stay here. I have a few guest rooms. Give me a minute and I’ll be right back to give you a tour of the house.”

I walked down the hallway, and then I turned the corner. Once I knew my father couldn’t see me I ran to the living room.

“MY DAD IS HERE. MY DAD IS HERE. QUICK PUT THE BLUNT OUT, AND I NEED YOU TO HIDE OUR PORN AND OUR AWARDS.”

“WHAT? CALM DOWN,” Tyree replied as he jumped up.

“Did you hear what I just said? My dad just showed up. DeeDee can you light some candles please. Tyree I need you to hide anything that will give away that we’re porn stars, and I need a big favor. I need you to sleep in one of the guest rooms and pretend it’s your room until he leaves tomorrow afternoon.”

“Okay, I got you, baby, and calm down. It’s going to be okay.”

“Hold up, you still haven’t told your father anything about your lifestyle here?” DeeDee asked.

“Hell no, he doesn’t even know I’m gay.”

“Wow, on that note I’ll help Tyree clean up but then I’m outta here because I’m scared I might fuck around and slip up and say something by accident.”

I was giving my dad a tour of the house, and the backyard as I introduced him to Tyree and DeeDee as she was leaving.

“Do you still have a lot of boxes to unpack?” my father asked as he noticed some of Tyree’s boxes in the garage.

“No, not really, that’s Tyree’s stuff. He hasn’t finished unpacking yet. You know me, I couldn’t wait, and had all of my stuff unpacked the same week we moved in.

“So Tyree is the one you live with, right?”

“Yes, that’s my roommate and my best friend.”

Hey I wasn’t lying. I just wasn’t telling him the whole truth.

“How did you two meet?”

“We meet at a club.”

“You met him at a club, and now you’re living together. How does that happen?”

“Well, we realized we were both aspiring actors, so we started hanging out and going to auditions together. I needed a roommate to pay half the bills, and he needed a place to live. It worked out perfectly.”

“I always thought you were living with your girlfriend Ebony?”

I forgot I told him I was living with my girlfriend. Again, technically I wasn’t lying I just let him assume we were dating.

“I was but things didn’t work out. She was a liar and she couldn’t be trusted.”

“Well, it’s like that sometimes son.”

I walked over to see what my dad was staring at so hard. He was holding a picture of me and Jasmine.

“That’s Jasmine, my other best friend. Isn’t she gorgeous?”

“Yes, she is. Is she famous or something, because she looks familiar?”

Now I was starting to panic because all I could think about was my dad recognizing her from starring in porn. What if he looked up all of her movies now that he knew she was my best friend? What if he discovered the movie we filmed together with Tyree? What would he think of me?
