I was in the studio with 40, and my brother in LA within a hour of landing. Having wrote a whole 20 songs in just a week and wanted to get them down and out. My assistant holding my phone as I took pictures of my edit with Chanel, on a billboard in the airport. It was a sign I was coming close to coming full circle, from an Executives assistant, to working on my debut album and modelling around the world. " we have the breakfast club, on Friday- what do you want to do today, and - tomorrow?" " I'm going to the studio today- with 40 and my brother, Masego, probably SiR, Jojo too-" " you need me to book it?" " No... we're recording at 40 house-" " oh okay..." we got into the car and within a hour I had left for 40s by myself, no security and happy about it. Alone for half an hour, listening to the beats he mixing for me, and debating what songs weren't good enough for the album.

I was greeted by his house keeper, a small Thai woman who was also soft spoken and always smiling. I asked about her son, an alleged fan of mine and showed to the studio but no one was there so I began playing back the tracks off of my laptop, and warming up vocally. He must of heard me, and came into the studio with a huge smile across his face and I smiled back. " hey- let me come out-" I left the booth and gave him a huge hug, having not seen him in person for over 6 months.
" You look beautiful, how you been Ly-" " good... I'm good! I missed you!" We were friends, mutual lovers of music and unspoken foundations in Aubrey's life. Well, he was well known as the man behind Drakes music, but I was still anxious about seeing him having backtracked to an ex he had allegedly won me from.
" we all missed you, have you spoken to Aubrey-" " no... not since about a week ago-" he nodded , and I knew he had probably noted the story and pictures of me and Kyle holding hands and slipping into a car. We caught upon , and he told me he wanted to see me happy which was probably more achievable with him. " you want me to call him-" " nah... I know he's mad at me-" " he's real mad -" " I know- " I took a deep breath and knew that it would be almost impossible to go back to how things were. " I've never seen him like this before but-"

" like what!?" He stopped himself, knowing he had already said too much to some. " he's hurt...for sure-" " he's been dissing me on the internet like a kid" he laughed and my face wiped the smile off of his. " yeah, I know... I made a mistake but, we were over-" " so you're not back with your ex-" I stalled in my responding, knowing he was going to keep a note of everything I said.
