"Amy, where are we going?" Crystal asked for the millionth time.

"Ask that question one more time, I'm gonna rip your tongue out & feed it to the birds!" Mayte threatened.

"Fuck you, Mayte!" Crystal cursed.

"Fuck you, you prissy ass bitch!" Mayte cursed back.

I sighed deeply, why me? It could be anybody in the world but the Lord chose me. It's been twenty minutes since we've left the baby shower. No one noticed that I left. I don't know for how long but hopefully this won't take long. The Jackson's have a third eye. Those two in the back seat have been bickering. Asking a million questions about our location. Honestly, I can't figure out an logic explanation on why Prince wanted them to come with me. Prince only seen Mayte from the gambling party but have never seen Crystal before. He probably won't like Crystal at all. (I know I don't.) But I do wonder why he wanted me to ditch LaToya's baby shower just to come to Paisley Park. What does he got in store for me? What is he planning? Is it another gift? Maybe another shopping trip? If it is, I won't hold back this time. I'm buying out the entire mall.

"Are these two like this with you all the time?" Uncle Tony asked.

"Yeah, but mostly at the boys & girls club."

"Why did you bring them?"

I shrugged, "Prince wanted me to bring them."

"Why?"

"I have no idea."

"I've been meaning to ask you about the boys and girls club. What are you doing there?"

"Latoya signed me up after the riot. I'm only going there so I can avoid being around the Jacksons."

I'm still shocked from Latoya's confession. She had an affair with Dwayne, Michael's enemy. She suppose to hate him not fuck him. (Well besides Rebbie because she was actually in love with him & had his child.) This affair happened for over an year. She could've gotten pregnant then & didn't know until later. I don't believe her when she said the baby doesn't belong to Dwayne. I think it does, but I'll keep that thought to myself. I don't want to cause a broken marriage. It's bad enough he has child with Rebbie but with Latoya too? I wonder what other dirty secrets she's hiding. Or the rest of the family is hiding.

Finally, we pulled up at Paisley Park. I heard a couple of gasps behind me. We all scurried out of the car & into the building. Mayte & Crystal were in awed by the beautiful view of the place. I inhaled the sweet smell of vanilla.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Mayte said.

"It's fucking legit! Who owns this joint?" Crystal asked out of curiosity.

"None of your business."

"He's waiting for you." Uncle Tony said.

"Where?"

"Upstairs in the ballroom. It's on the left side at the very end." Uncle Tony pointed.

I looked over at Mayte & Crystal who were looking around. I don't want to leave them alone here. And I can't risk them wondering around this place. There's no telling what's in here.

"Keep an eye on them, please?"

"Will do." Uncle Tony said.

As I headed for upstairs, Mayte stopped me. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"Nowhere, just stay there with Crystal."

"I'd rather be with you." Mayte rolled her eyes.

I giggled, "I'll be back, I promise."
