The Rehearsal

Where are you

Gil and Tina stared at me as I dialed Chris's number into the phone. After talking to those two I started to think of Chris differently. My feels changed instantly I imagined him with another woman and it drove me wild. I needed to call him that instant. The phone ring and ring by third ring I started to feel agitated. Finally the fifth ring the phone picked up.

"Hello" Chris answered.

"Why'd it take you so long to answer"
I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Why do you sound mad?"

"Chris answer my question"
I demanded.

Both Tina and Gil sat there quietly listening to the our conversation. I was started to get heated thinking about Chris doing the worse.

"Are you mad at me" he asked calmly.

"Christopher Maurice Brown,
answer my damn question" I asked laughing.

Tina's face began to change once I started laughing.
She started to look concerned as she sat up staring at me.

"Chris where are you" I asked.

"Janet come outside" he said.

"Huh Chris please don't play games with me right now. Because I'm so fucking mad right now"

"There's no reason to be mad Janet come outside"

I hung up the phone feeling heated, it was like talking to a brick wall with him. Every time I asked him a question I got no answer.

"You ok J" Gil asked as I stood up.

"I'm about to go outside. I'll play his stupid game then ima call his ass back"

I stormed to the door as I heard Gil and Tina followed behind me. Once I got to the door I took a deep breath before opening it. All of the anger from my face left once I saw Chris standing outside my door with flowers in his hand. All of the anger turned into confusion I quickly turned around to see Tina and Gil looking just as confused as me.

"Hey these are for you"
Chris said handing me the flowers.

"Thank you" I said not
knowing what else to say.

"Can we talk alone" he asked looking at Gil and Tina.

Once they left I closed the door behind standing outside with Chris. He stood in front of me looking into my eyes.

"Why did you sound so hostile on the phone"
he asked.

"What... wait I'm so confused.
What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the studio"

"I lied, I just needed some space to think that's all"

"Space to think about what"
I asked feeling a nervous feeling in my stomach.

"Michael got into my head the other day. He said something to me but I took it a lil too serious"
he said laughing.

"What did he say?"

"Janet it doesn't matter because I'm not going anywhere I love you too much to mess this up. What he said scared me and I'm over it."
