Tia's P.O.V
"Since you've been going back and forth so much, why don't you just move to L.A?" I said into the phone while painting my toenails.
"You know I can't do that. I have students here and some of them are relying on me and my class to keep them out of trouble. Another thing is that L.A. is expensive. People spend more on parking than anything." Taimak responded through the speaker. "I also spend a lot of time in Nepal but I don't want to live there permanently- at the moment. I may do so in the future. Who knows?" He told me.
"Eh, that's true. Honestly, that is a good reason to stay. You say L.A. is expensive, what about New York? Those apartments are small as I don't know what, but cost an arm and three legs. Might as well get a few boxes, tape them together, and live in them." I laughed and he joined in on the laughter.
"I mean... Yeah, but it's home and L.A. just isn't." He told me.
"I get you but you were LITERALLY born in Los Angeles." I pointed out.
"Yeah, but New York is the only home that I know in the states. I don't know L.A. like I know New York."
"Me neither," I replied to him.
"When does Summer start for you?" He asked me.
"Shoo... It's already scorching here in Arizona but school ends on the 16th of this month. So that is when my summer will start." I replied.
The reason I'm in Arizona is to look for a place to film a movie. That's right, another movie starring well-known black women. The film was written by Terry Mcmillan and directed by myself. I will also be working beside Forrest Whitaker. Babyface is in charge of the soundtrack and I trust it considering how he's a good record producer and writer. Whitney, Terry and I have also toyed with the idea that the whole soundtrack would be black women. It's not official but it soon will be HOPEFULLY. We're getting there though.
"You ever wanted to visit Vienna?" He asked me.
"It's on my list of places to go." I shrugged, "Why?"
I heard what seemed to be a slap on the other end. "You are oblivious. I'm inviting you to come with me to Austria. I could show you around, and I'm sure you'd like it. It's home."
I chuckled, "I'm NOT oblivious, I just want to hear a person say exactly on their mind instead of beating around the bush. You JUST called New York home." I chuckled again.
"I also emphasized that it's the only home I know in the STATES." He laughed loudly.
"You did, my bad. What makes you want to invite me?" I raised a brow with a smirk.
"I mean, why not? I've already shown you that I'm interested in you these past few months. I've been going back and forth my whole life between the two. You've seen New York plenty of times. You said you wanted to travel the world but have never left the states. Since I know it Vienna and that part of Austria in general like the back of my hand, I'm offering to be your free tour guide."
