Motivation of Memories: The Second Book of the Labors of Love Series

Preparation

Genevieve's POV

After a long plane ride, we're finally in LA. It's the day before the premiere and I'm pretty excited to see how the movie comes out. As a group we enter our hotel and wait to get our keys. Paired off in twos we grab keys and make our way to the 5th floor. Apollonia and I are rooming together since we've grown so close. Together we walk down the hallway checking the numbers.

"Which one is it again?" I ask a checking the doors closest to me.

"544."

"That's your side, catty. I've got odd numbers."

"Oh, here it is!" She uses her key to unlock the door and we walk in. The room is spacious two double beds with a large nightstand in the middle. The tv across the room is huge sitting on the stand. Everything is a made of beautiful mahogany with gold fixtures. The sheets are bright white, sparkling against the peaceful aquamarine walls. We put our luggage on our respective sides and I begin laying out my clothes. I hang up my dress and shoes for the premiere then toss my other clothes into the dresser.

"Got any plans today, G?" Apollonia asks from the bathroom where she's setting up her toiletries.

"I'm going to get a mani pedi since my manicurist had to cancel but other than that no."

"Oh okay." She seems disappointed in my lack of plans but I choose to not be hurt by it.

"What about you?"

"Me, Brenda and Susan were thinking about going to the beach we were gonna see if everyone else wanted to go."

"You know I love the water. Ask everyone and let me know when I get back."

"You're leaving already? We just got here! Don't you want to relax a little?"

"I'll relax when my feet and my toes match." I grab my purse and walk down the hall looking for room 553. When I find it, I knock gently and wait for someone to answer the door.

Prince's POV

Andre opens the door and immediately turns to face me.

"It's G!" He calls out holding the door open. I walk to the door and he makes his way back into the room.

"Hey, mama."

"Hey. I just wanted to tell you I'm going to the nail salon."

"You find one already?"

"I saw a few down the street."

"You want me to get you a cab?"

"No, it's not far. Thank you, though. Need anything while I'm out? I saw a few stores and a pharmacy. I was going to grab a few things."

"I'm alright. Anything you need from me before you go?"

"No, I think I'll be alright."

"Let me know how much your nails are."

"Okay. I'll see you when I get back." She waves at me and turns away from the door. I grab her hand and she turns back and looks at me. With a smirk, I pull her in and give her peck in the lips. She blushes softly behind her skin as I reluctantly let her go.

"Bye, Genny."

"Bye." I close the door and walk back to my bed. I look over at Andre who's grinning wide, still hanging up his clothes.

"I can't wait for you to make it official with her. Have you decided how you're gonna do it? You know what you're gonna say?"

"No, I just know it needs to be before the movie. I'm gonna find a quiet place away from the cameras and I'm gonna ask her."
