03) Fun Girl
“I DIDN'T PEAK IN HIGH SCHOOL I'M STILL OUT HERE GETTIN CUTER!!” Maryse and Saweetie rapped along to Industry Baby by Lil Nas X and Jack while on their way to the gym.
“Nas and Jack ate that up!” Saweetie told Maryse as the song was coming to an end. Maryse immediately agreed.
“They sure did! It’s definitely going to be huge, I can tell.” Maryse replied. Saweetie watched her long time friend take a photo of the song playing on the radio before smiling back down at her phone.
“Hm, so things must be going great between you and Jack?” Saweetie questioned
Maryse was so distracted by her phone that she didn’t hear her.
“BIIIITCH! I can’t believe Jack got Rubi Rose pregnant!!” Saweetie shrieked loudly.
Maryse jumped in her seat, her phone dropping to the floor of the car. “WHAT?!”
Saweetie couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Oh I knew that would get your attention.”
Maryse picked up her phone with an eye roll. “That’s seriously not funny.”
Her friend simply gave her a knowing smile before turning into the parking lot of the gym. “I was just wondering how everything’s going with lover boy, but I’m assuming it’s going great because of that silly little grin you have on your face.”
Maryse ignored her and grabbed her gym bag and hopped out the car. “First of all, he’s not my lover boy, we’re simply just friends.”
Saweetie laughed again, “yeah ok boo whatever you say, but I’ve known you since college and you don’t even smile half as big when I text you!” She said walking ahead of Maryse
Maryse hurried behind her to catch up. “Will you slow down, geez”
“And that’s not even true!” Maryse huffed.
“Uh huh. SURE. Then who are all those love songs you've been writing about?” Saweetie turned to question Maryse
“You’ve been going through my songbook?!” Maryse asked before dropping her mouth in shock.
“No, I was lying. I just wanted to see your reaction.” Saweetie soon told her.
Maryse sighed a little. She may have a tiny crush on everyone’s favorite white rapper but she swears it’s only a little one. They’ve only hung out once more since that day at the studio, two months ago.
“Ok, fine. I might have a tiny crush on the guy.” Maryse told her, bringing her thumb and pointer fingers together to emphasize how small of a crush she had on Jack.
“Besides, nothings gonna happen anyway. I’m nowhere near ready to start dating again.” Maryse mentioned. She dated Nate for so long, that now that they broke up, she was scared to open her heart up again.
Saweetie gave Maryse a look of sympathy, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Are you not ready or are you just scared that Jack is going to hurt you just like Nate did?”
Maryse’s head dropped with a sigh. She hated how well Saweetie knew her. “Look, the gym isn’t the place to really talk about this, so we can talk more about it later but here’s something to think about. Don’t let your fear stop you from finding the love you truly strive for. Nate has nothing to offer you right now in the present. So don’t let him shape your future.”
To stop herself from crying in public she reached forward and gave Saweetie a big hug. “I love you, Diamonté. Thank you.”
Pulling away Maryse jokingly said. “When did you get so wise?”
“Girl, I think it’s all the Steve Harvey tik toks I’ve been watching. That man knows everything!”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly before walking towards the treadmills.
After Maryse and Saweetie made it back from the gym, the two girls decided to just chill around the house. Saweetie was currently in the kitchen cooking their favorite Filipino dish sinigang when Maryse decided to hop on Instagram Live to catch up with fans.
“I’m about to hop on live so don’t say anything crazy!” Maryse yelled from the kitchen table.
“No promises! You know I can’t control what comes out my mouth!” Her friend yells back
Maryse just shakes her head before sending off a tweet to let her followers know to join the live.
“Hi guys! Surprise, I’m on live! It’s been a long time huh?” Maryse said, speaking into the phone.
She leaned forward squinting a little to read the comments that were rapidly coming in. “Ooh okay, we got 6 thousand people on right now, thank y’all for joining!”
“What are you doing right now?” Maryse read the comment out loud. “Well, I landed in LA yesterday afternoon and right now I’m waiting for my personal chef to finish my dinner” She said trying to hold in her laughter, and mouthed “watch this” into the camera. Maryse could hear Saweetie drop her utensils down in the kitchen. Not even 10 seconds later, Saweetie pops down next to her and hits her slightly with her hand.
“Bitch, you wish I was your personal chef!” Maryse smiled at her before looking back at the comments.
Saweetie pointed towards a comment on the screen. “Here’s a good one, Maryse. When are we getting new music?”
Maryse tapped her pointer finger to her face, like she was thinking. Her new single was dropping soon but they didn’t need to know that quite yet.
“I don’t have an answer to that, but I’ve been in the studio almost everyday trying to make sure everything is perfect. I promise, it’ll be worth the wait.”
Maryse laughed seeing Doja comment that she and Saweetie were having too much without her.
“Doja! We’re having a horrible time without you! We miss you so much!” Maryse replied back and blew kisses to the camera. “You know, you my bestie in a tessie!” Saweetie said to Doja.
Maryse and Saweetie laughed and talked to the fans for a while before she saw the name Urban Wyatt request to join the live. Before she could react, Saweetie blurted out, “Who the fuck is Urban Wyatt?!”
All Maryse could do was stare at her friend in bewilderment then shake her head. She accepted his request and a couple seconds later he showed up.
“I’m sorry about her, she’s from our straight outta the hood program, and lacks some home training.” Maryse said jokingly.
“But how are you doing?”
Maryse wanted to ask him where his best friend was, but contained herself.
Urban laughed at her joke before responding. “I’m alright, you know just in the studio with my boy.”
Behind Urban you could hear a voice questioning who he was speaking to. The sound of Jack’s voice was making Maryse’s stomach tingle, it seemed to get worse when he finally appeared in front of the camera.
Maryse couldn’t help but give him a shy smile, but it turned into a full blown smile when Jack smiled back.
“Hello, ladies.” Jack greeted them, taking a seat next to Urban
“Cracker Jack!” Saweetie said with a wave before going back to eating her food.
“Hi, Jackman, I heard you guys are in the studio.” Maryse already knew this, the two of them were texting all morning, and planned on hanging out the next day since they were both in town.
Jack nodded, taking over the phone from Urban. “Been here all day.”
Jack got closer to the camera “what’s the move for tonight? Y’all look good.” Jack said with a flirty smile. He wasn’t lying, they both looked good. But he was only looking at Maryse.
“Boy bye!” Saweetie said with a wave of her hand while Maryse couldn’t stop the smile on her smile.
Deciding to ignore him, Maryse answered his first question.
“We’re probably just going to bar—“ Maryse was cut off
“Fuck a bar! We going to the club! We OUTSIDE!”
Giving a funny look into the camera, “my apologies, I guess we’re hitting up the club” Maryse shrugged. She really didn’t feel like going out but also felt like she needed a night out after spending so many nights in the studio.
Since Jack was in the studio, Maryse could hear what sounded like horns in the background. She couldn’t help but bring it up.
“Let the people hear what you’re working on! From what I can hear it sounds good.” Maryse told him.
“Yeah! Let us hear, Cracker Jack!”
“Will you ever stop calling me that?”
“No.”
Jack shocked his head at her before talking the phone over to the soundboards.
“Alright, I’ll play the first 20 seconds. Mainly because that’s all I have and I can’t give away too much.” Jack said before giving a wink into the camera.
If Maryse was lying down, that wink would’ve had her giggling and kicking her feet.
The ladies watched as Jack pressed play and the sounds of horns sounded from behind him. It sounded amazing. After a few seconds you could hear Jack come in
Mm-mm, mm, mm-mm tss
My nail tech knows how to keep a lil' secret
I don't wish for my success, I speak it….
Maryse and Saweetie started bobbing their heads and dancing in their seats. The comments were going crazy at the snippet. Maryse cheered a little as the snippet ended.
“Jack, you gotta finish that ASAP! I’m loving the horns” Maryse told him, Saweetie nodded her head in agreement.
Maryse thought it was sweet watching Jack put his head down shyly to hide him blushing.
“Thanks, ma” He told her.
It was Maryse’s turn to blush.
Jack and Urban had to get off soon after to finish working in the studio but not before dropping the news that the two of you worked on a song together and quickly leaving the live leaving the fans to freak out
“He’s lying. What I tell you guys about believing white men!”

Maryse and Saweetie walked down the sidewalk with their arms hooked together. They weren’t in the least bit drunk, but laughter has been going on all night. The two spent a total of 30 minutes at the club before deciding to just go to a bar with good music instead.
“What are we having?” Saweetie asks Maryse as they walk to the bar. Sitting down waiting for the waiter to approach them.
“Hm, let’s be lemon drop bops tonight” Maryse told her with a grin.
“Yes hunny! I love the sound of that”
3 lemon drops later Maryse was starting to feel buzzed. She’s always been a lightweight.
Leaning over to talk in her friends ear she said “I’m going to the restroom, I’ll be right back!”
Saweetie nodded before asking if Maryse needed her to come with. Shaking her head no Maryse replied “Stay here! We don’t wanna lose our table!”
Maryse made her way to the restroom in one piece. Thankfully, there was hardly a long wait.
After washing her hands and convincing herself that she wasn’t that drunk, Maryse left the bathroom. As she was turning the corner she ran into what felt like a brick wall.
“Oh God, I’m so sorry—“ Maryse stopped herself once she saw who it was.
It was Nate.
Rolling her eyes, she moved to walk around him but he stopped her.
“I have nothing to say to you, move out of my way.” Maryse gritted her teeth at him.
“Oh c’mon babe, don’t treat me like that.” Nate said, stepping closer to her. Maryse’s back hit the hallway wall.
“I saw your little instagram post.” Nate mentioned
Maryse couldn’t help but roll her eyes again at him. “Really? That’s why you have me cornered right now.” Nate was really starting to piss her off. The alcohol making it worse.
“Let’s get back together.” Nate begged her.
The audacity of this man. “HELL NO! I don’t know if it’s because you’re constantly hitting your head while playing football or what but I’m never getting back together with you. Now, I suggest you leave before Diamonté sees you and kicks your ass.” Maryse told him before pushing past him and walking away
“That’s fine! I don’t want your hoe ass anyway! No one does.” Nate spat out, nose flaring.
Maryse almost turned back around to give him another piece of her mind, but what he said next made her stop in her tracks.
“I’m glad you said no when I proposed to you. You know what they say, you can’t turn a ho into a housewife. You're always going to be the fun girl, the homie. It’s cool to hang out with you until it’s time to settle down. Never going to be wifey material with that nasty attitude.”
Maryse counted to 10 in her head to calm herself down. How dare he. She continued to walk away, not even wanting to give him the pleasure of knowing he hurt her. Making her way back to the table by the bar she ignored Saweetie when she asked why it took her so long and ordered a round of vodka shots. Maryse had a point to prove now. She’ll show him a fun girl.
Few hours later, the crowd in the bar was starting to thin. This particular bar was open 24 hours but it was almost 3 am so people were starting to leave. Maryse and Saweetie were giggling like teenagers. They’ve lost count how many drinks they each had tonight.
“You're really lucky I wasn’t around when he cornered you, that’s all I’m saying!” Saweetie told her
“What were you gonna do? Kick his ass?” Maryse questioned.
“Yes I would’ve went WWE on his ass!” Maryse could not stop laughing at that. All she could visualize was Saweetie suplexing a football player double her size.
“I think we should call it a night.��� Maryse said after they stopped laughing with a slur of her words. She was dreading the hangover she was bound to have in the morning.
Saweetie nods in agreement, “yup, I’m done. But you gotta call Uber. My phone died.” She slips off the stool and staggers towards Maryse. “Oh, I love this song! Let’s dance, while we wait! Saweetie screeches as she pulls Maryse towards the dance floor to dance to Sticky by Drake
“There’s hardly anyone dancing anymore!” Maryse complained.
“Who cares?” She argues before pulling Maryse towards her.
“Oh fuck!” Saweetie ends up tripping over her feet, falling and managing to drag Maryse down with her with a yelp. “Sorry!” She laughs.
Maryse would be embarrassed right now if she wasn’t drunk off her ass. She couldn’t imagine what the two of them looked like laying on the bar floor a giggling mess. As much fun she’s having, Maryse is starting to remember why she doesn’t go out with Saweetie.
“URBAN, JACK WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” Saweetie yells out
Hearing Jack’s name almost sobered Maryse up completely.
Looking up, Urban looked like he was trying to contain his laughter while Jack had a worried expression on his face as they loomed over top of them.
“You texted me to come pick you up from here.” Jack said, helping you to your feet. Urban doing the same with Saweetie.
“Oh.” Jack stumbles back in surprise as Maryse throws her arm around him in a drunken hug. “I’m so happy you’re here!”
“Damn, they’re plastered.” Urban said, trying his hardest to hold Saweetie up right.
Jack just nods before telling him to make sure Saweetie got home safely. He was going to take Maryse back to his place.
“You think you can walk to my truck?” Jack asked Maryse.
“Of course I’m not that drunk.” She was.
Jack guides her out of the bar. Maryse was ashamed to admit it but if Jack’s arm wasn’t wrapped around her waist to hold her up, she would be eating concrete right now.
As they walk out the exit door, Jack decides to carry Maryse to his car, since he parked around the back to avoid the possibility of paparazzi.
“You aren’t going to throw up on me, are you?” Jack jokes
“No” Maryse scuffs
“Hm, are you sure?” Jack laughs, the vibrations from his chest pass through her.
“I’m fine, I promise.” Maryse said as she relaxed into his arms.
Jack places her down for just a few seconds so he could unlock and open the car door.
“Ok, just warn me before you throw up, these are my favorite pair of New Balance. I’m putting you in the car now.”
Maryse insisted again that she wasn’t going to throw up. Jack still didn’t believe her. He lowered her into the car and leaned over her to buckle the seat belt. His LV cologne invaded her nostrils. As Jack pulls back all Maryse could do was give him a big cheesy smile. She reaches her hand forward to try to reach out to him.
“Woah, there’s two of you!”
Jack couldn’t help but laugh at that. “Maryse, you’re adorable, you know that?”
“Yeah, that’s what people say.” She said tiredly before closing her eyes and leaning her head back against the seat.
Jack drives them back to his apartment, not wanting to leave her alone in this state. The ride back was quiet before he heard Maryse speak in almost a whisper.
“Jack?”
“Yes, Maryse?”
“I’m really starting to like you.”
There’s a sharp intake of breath from Jack. He hated that she probably wouldn’t remember this.
“Don’t hurt me, ok?”
“I could never, Maryse. I could never.”
Jack was left alone in his thoughts for the rest of the ride home.
