COME & TALK TO ME | CHAPTER TWO.
❝ATLANTA IN THA HOUSE.❞
' SEPT 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟐 '
[ NEW YORK, NEW YORK ]
The atmosphere was quiet minus the fact that Imani couldn't help but eye her sister who grew oblivious to the fact that she was. They were now walking with K-Ci and Jojo as they led them to the studio to meet the others.
"Are you going to continue to stare at me or tell me what's wrong?" Eve whispered with a glance at Imani who shrugged.
"I don't know you tell me — I noticed the way Sean was looking at you and girl he was looking hard." For the entirety of the meeting, Sean kept eyeing Eve who paid no mind to where his eyes lingered. There was no denying that Eve was a beautiful woman that left men staring a lot.
Eve almost laughed keyword almost, "Please, he is not my type and I ain't dating someone who calls themselves Puffy." Eve always ran into men like Sean Combs, and no matter the talent she would stay clear of it.
"Y'all do realize we can hear y'all right?" K-Ci spoke in an obvious tone causing the two sisters to clear their throats while looking away.
"Sorry about that," Imani mumbles finding the wall more interesting to look at. K-Ci however didn't seem phased, "Don't worry we won't say nothin'."
"Cool." Was all Imani said before trailing behind K-Ci and JoJo. As they walked down the long and narrow hallway, her eyes took in all the platinum and gold records that hung on the walls from the artists that were on the label. With hard work and dedication, she was going to be up there too.
Eventually, they entered an elevator and K-Ci soon pressed the button that took them to the lobby. "I'm sure that you've already spent some time in the lower portion of the building so we'll just take you to the upper level. It's where most artists are whether it's to make." Explains K-Ci and all Imani did at the moment was nod in agreement while Eve held a glance of skepticism. If she was spending most of her time in the upper level why not take the just and get to know the other artists and staff?
"If you don't mind, why not tell us a lil' about yourself." Suggests JoJo who'd been quiet this entire time. For a second Imani became passive by his presence since he'd just been so quiet but at the same time didn't mind it.
"Well, we're from Atlanta, Georgia." Her southern drawl was thick like honey but warm like a hug. She wasn't ashamed to be a young woman from the South and loved it. It was a part of who she was and it wasn't changing for nobody. "And grew up in Bankhead if we're being technical."
"Okay, Miss Georgia Peach." Teases K-Ci which only made Imani playfully roll her eyes. From the looks of things, she was steadily starting to like the Hailey brothers. They were cool, funny, weren't overtly cocky from their building fame. They just felt like regular guys that she'd be friends with back home.
Upon exiting the elevator, they eventually walked through the lobby, soon enough the crisp October air greeted them all and Imani was happy that she wore a jacket. Looking around she couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going exactly?" She was not familiar with her surroundings and would rather know where she was first before going into a place that wasn't familiar.
