The Lyon For Me

Twenty one

I was pacing back and fourth in the bedroom when I heard happy squeals coming from Lola meaning get father was home. My thoughts came running back to what I just did. Rochelle Walker agreed to help me stop a hostile takeover on the impression that Jamal has Empire.

But he doesn't so now hoe do I get out of this. The entire time after she left I was sure she was gonna come back. After figuring out that Jamal didn't have Empire. I was quite sure I was gonna die.

My breathing was becoming heavier. I was gonna die Rochelle was gonna kill me. The bedroom for opening interrupted my scary thoughts "Hey... You hear the good news" I shook my head my nerves still out of order.

"Dad gave me Empire and he's not dying" it was like I was held captive for 90 years and someone had finally found me. I wasn't gonna die Rochelle wasn't going to kill me. I guess the Lord doesn't want me to come home yet.

"You OK" he asked putting down Lola "Yes" I was absolutely OK more than OK death wasn't knocking at my door "So what did you girls do while I was gone" looking between me and Lola "Mommy..." She said immediately covering her mouth after.

My eyes widened and I face palmed. Damn it Lola, I spared a glance at Jamal who rose an eyebrow at Lola "You know she's not your Mom right baby girl" she smiled shaking her head "Oops sorry" she said earning a playful glare.

She giggled and ran out and I just shook my head at her. Jamal looked at me and put his hands up in surrender "I don't even wanna know" he said laying back on the bed.

"So... Lucious gave you Empire" I said surprise still laced in my voice "Yea it surprised me too apparently he thinks I have what it takes to lead the company" I scoffed and sat down next to him.

"Well I could've told you that... Your better than either of your brothers combined and I don't expect you to agree but that's just how I see it" I said making him laugh.

"I didn't think it was possible" I hummed agreeing "Yea Lucious was or is a grade a asshole" he shook his head "No not Lucious I'm talking about Mia... I didn't think she could be this person your telling me about" he said furrowing his brow.

He sighed sitting up "Your a really good friend to still be around after all that's happened" I gave him a half smile. I really hope he doesn't think it's over "So she's still watching us right" he said I slowly nodded in return. Where is he going with this "Then we still have a show to do" he said raising his eyebrows suggestively.

I wasn't getting where this was going until he pulled into his lap "Jamal" I warned giving him a stern look "Yes" he said as innocently as he could "Lola..." He groaned and rolled his eyes "We'll be quiet" he said making me laugh. I got up and walked out.

Shameless. I thought as I walked into Lola's room where she was playing with her Barbie doll in her all pink room "Mommy huh" I said making her squeal playfully and start to run. I ran after her only to be tackled to the ground.

"Run Lola run" Jamal said holding me down "She'll never get away from me. Never!!!" I said flipping us over and again running after Lola. The doorbell rang but I refused to get it. I've had enough of these surprise visitors for me.

I caught Lola finally then tickled her like crazy. This will teach her I thought when Jamal came in with a somber look on his face "What's wrong" I said still in the midst of laughing uncontrollably. He shook his head and sighed.

"I uh kinda need to go Lucious needs me at a press conference" I nodded then breathed out annoyed already by how much Lucious' name has come up today. And it's only 3 pm!!!

"Go we'll be fine" I said putting on a fake smile. He smiled and hugged us both. Well back into the war. I spun around but Lola was already running out the room. I'll get her... You wait and see I'll get her.
