Aubrey was determined, to get to the bottom of everything that happened when we were apart. I didn't know it at the time, as I left 40s house and didn't hear from him until the next day. He knew i was was getting ready to go to New York for two weeks of press and interviews, and knew what people would be asking. I was all over the place mentally, up late and sleeping little, but took a trip to a spa in the Hills and asked him to join me for a message. To my surprise, he did pulling up with a security guard and a faint smile. He hugged me, before he sat and was prepared for our hot tub session, and asked me how I felt about my debut release.
" you ready to drop this thing and change everything!"
" yeah! It's, I'm nervous actually-"
" what!? That thing is fire Ly-"

" I'm happy with it, Just nervous about actually putting it out"
" I'm proud of you... I know you've been working like crazy and it shows-"
" thanks Aub-"
" you should be happy, I have a feeling this is going to to do numbers" he was enthusiastic about everything that had anything to do with me.
" I'm really happy with it... have you heard it yet ?"
" not the full thing... you got it?" I nodded and synced to the surround sound in our private room. He listened as we soaked, eventually ending up behind me as he held me close to him.

The song I was the most nervous about him hearing was next and knew it, as he sipped his glass and complimented me on notes and runs the he liked, lyrics he was surprised by and features he didn't know I managed to bag.
" love the piano intro-"
" this is my favourite, it's called Honest-"
He nodded and listened, enjoying the music and me as he stared into my eyes.
" damn that's good Ly...-" he was still listening but heard me for real.
" so what's is this..."
" what?" He let go of me, looking down at me as I let the water wash over my anxiety.

" This is crazy, Aubrey-" he exhaled deeply, knowing it was and wanting to make that move but was too proud.
" what... you know how I feel about you-"
" so... what is that-"
" what's that?-"
" yeah how do you feel about me, Aubrey?"
" I was mad... and I think you still are a little bit"
" I should be-"
" should you? Then I should too... but I can't stay mad at you... I tried"

" well you could yesterday -" he laughed at me and asked me to hear him out, for real this time.
" I love you Lylee," he turned me around as I kissed him gently, and closed my eyes letting the moment last as it never seemed to.
" I can't play myself, you know... I know you are a rapper and, what comes with all of that."
" I know, you're not playing yourself... it's a matter of taking the time to figure this out... together"
" and you're willing... to take that time... to tell me what you really want-"the
" it's about us-"
" us?"
" I'm here, in a hot tub, with you-" his wet hands messaging me under the water as I kissed him again and he savoured the kiss on his lips.
