Kennie and her dad needs to leave Lousianna after this BS with her ex MARRIED lover. Her best friend, Jiji begs her to move up to NJ with her and Hulk. Finding the perfect job, that was similar to what she did back home......is perfect!
Its been 2 y...
"I'm glad that everything is getting back to normal for you and your friends. It's been a crazy couple weeks...." Mr. Redding smiled at me, I fought the eye roll.
Chile.....
"Yeah, it has.....but everything is ok now. Everyone can breathe....." I smiled at him. I'm perfectly fine now after I finally got to beat the bitch ass last night.....I gave Mr. Redding a sweet smile.
I knew what this meeting is about and I didn't wanna feed into it, but I did. I'm excited as shit and I gotta keep my shit cool until I literally hear him say it. Mr. Redding gave me a small smile and nodded silently.

Mr. Redding
"You've been doing some exceptional work in the past year....." Mr. Redding laid down a couple of my articles.
"I do try my best to have our audiences really understand their favorite artists....." I threaded my fingers together over my crossed leg, Mr. Redding gave out a low chuckle and looked at the articles.
"And you do. Every article you come out with has like over 50k readers. You and Malikah are getting more in depth detail in both the fashion and artistiscs behind the presidency....the first black president on top of that! You got an interview with the biggest female rapper out here, got an inside look for the rest of the world who can't really see." He scoffed with a smile, I humbly smiled and looked at my nails.
These last couple of weeks I have been lucky......because of Andy......
I took a deep breath in and cleared my throat. I dunno, shit kinda changed between me and him this weekend. Not in a bad way, but....I dunno......
Somethin feels different.....
"I'm fortunate enough to have had the chance to experience it and show everyone the real president we voted for.....he's just like us. Both him and his wife, along with Angela and her husband.....they wanna connect with the voters." Trevor Graham may be the first black president, but he got to be the most laid back dude to vibe with. Away from media and shit, he just wanna kick it and chill with his boys.....he did just that this weekend.
"We're all very fortunate to be part of history. Well, no point in sugarcoating this.....the director of arts position has been open for the last 6.5 months. I thought you'd be interested enough to apply....." Mr. Redding looked at me with his usual teasing smile.
Ok.....be humbly sweet, Ji.....
"Well, I thought that someone who'd be more qualified.....would be a better fit for the role....." That should be a good enough answer.
I think......
Mr. Redding looked at me silently and I felt.....awkward, not in a bad way. The man is super hard to read and you'll never know what he's probably thinking.
