Grown Enough (On Hold)

Chapter Nine

January 4th
6:49am...

Aaliyah

"He just said it would look really supportive, for publicity and public relations if the former stood with the current, due to the issue arising so soon after your departure." Jameson explained.

"Babe, I would... You know I would but there's just not enough time..." I sighed.

He wanted me to do a news appearance with him but I just didn't have enough time to prepare, find a sitter, cancel appointments, get nails, makeup and hair completed... It was all giving me a headache just thinking about it how wild I would be running around.

"Aaliyah, I'm not asking you from my boss to you. I'm asking you from me to you, because you know exactly what to say in front of the cameras, I am literally crumbling. I just need you. I've never done this before." I knew he was crying.

Jameson's nerves couldn't take this much attention, not in this way anyway. It's almost like all eyes are on him and someone is waiting for him to mess up but he doesn't see how we're all in full support of him.

"Well it would just be cruel to leave you hanging now, crybaby." I blew.

"Aaliyah, oh my goodness, thank you so much! You don't understand—"

"If you want me there, I need to get dressed." I laughed.

"Welllll, Trish already said she'll have all of those things waiting upon your arrival to the station in a private room. I just had to convince you to do it."

"You know what—" I hung up on him.

I wasted no time in getting in the bathroom and handling all my business.

"Goin' somewhere?" Aubree walked into the bathroom as I was focused on fixing up my eyebrows.

I briefly paused for him to kiss my cheek and then went back to work on them.

"Jameson just needs some help at the job this morning, it's pretty emergent, camera crews and lots of nice questions." I replied.

He did his own thing around the bathroom as we worked around each other.

"Where is Adelynn going?"

"Jas and Luke."

"And, why can't she stay here?" He came up to me once I was done with my eyebrows.

"Because you haven't slept in 2 days, boy. Get some rest, just pick her up whenever you wake up." I replied, knowing we'd be home before then.

He wrapped his arms around me from behind, I watched him through the mirror as he work his hands all over my body.

I leaned my head back into his chest and his minty breath hit my face.

I turned to face him and pecked his lips but when I pulled away, he pulled me back for more.

"Stop being so disgusting." I giggled.

"I can't get enough of you."

He got in the shower while I finished up getting ready.

It felt good not having to prepare everyone, just myself.

I quietly left out as the fresh morning air swept across my face.

Aubree

I walked into Luke's spot, heading towards the patio.

"Yooo" I announced myself.

"What's up my guy." He dapped me.

"Coming to scoop my girl, You ain't been to get that blueprint have you?" I questioned.
