LOVE IS KEY || A Tyler, The Creator Story REIMAGINED

23-Something New...Again

Akeylah: (shouts as she opens the front door) Ladies and Gentlemen...Welcome! To Casa de Key!!

I bought my first home two days after the Grammys, took three months after that to make it into my dream home with indoor and outdoor renovations. Now it was finally done to my liking. I moved out of the loft apartment last week and spent that time unpacking, this week unpacking and now I was ready to show my home off to the people closest to me.

As everyone walked into the foyer, the first thing you see is the grand staircase and the golden rose that's  in the floors marbling.

Jasper: This is fucking sick Key!!

Demetrius: Yeah. I've never seen nothing like that before.

Akeylah: (laughs) I wanted to be cute and extra at the same time so you know who's house it is when you come in. Everyone please take your shoes off and put them on this nice shoe rack. I don't want smudges on my floors. Please and thank you.

Domonique: (smiles) Look at how far you've come in such a short amount of time! My bestie is a homeowner!

Louisa: How does it feel, Key?

Akeylah: (sighs happily) Amazing, Ma. While I cherished my time at the loft and it holds memories that will always be close to my hearts, it was only temporary. I'm at least planning on being here for the next few years. I've been grinding for years and this purchase means so much more to me than a car or clothes or anything. I feel like this moment right here shows my hard work is paying off.

Louisa: (hugs Akeylah) And that's what it's all about. Proud of you.

Akeylah: Okay! Let's get this tour started shall we?

Jasper: (raises hand)

Akeylah: Jasper this isn't a field trip. Just talk.

Jasper: (chuckles) Aright. Are we being provided food?

Akeylah: (shakes head) Yes, Jasper. There will be food. Not from my kitchen though so don't even think about it.

Everyone followed behind me as we stepped foot into the living room.

Kenneth: (runs over to the balcony) Damn! Look at that view!

Solange: Look at the rose detailing on the walls. You have some good taste girl!

Michelle: (snickers) And of course the furniture is pink.

Akeylah: Duh! Why wouldn't it be? If I'm truly gonna make this house scream "Akeylah" something better be pink damn it. Ooh! And get this! The "painting" of the rose in this frame is not a painting at all.

I picked up a remote from the coffee table and the rose picture changed into the tv home screen.

Angelo: (points in disbelief) Nigga that's a TV!?

Akeylah: (grins) Sure is! It's my favorite thing in this room. So adjacent to the living room is also the dining room which also has pink chairs because why not? It's not really much to see in here but the kitchen??

We walked into the kitchen and the Dreamerz were in awe of how big it was. Everyone else was used to seeing a kitchen like this.

Khadijah: Not one, but two dish washers?? That's nice!

Akeylah: They both won't be in use like that unless I decide to entertain here. Other than that, it'll just be me here or Ty. Not that many dishes should pile up between us. I won't be cooking everyday depending on how busy my day is and he has his own house so he won't always be here.
