FOOLISH 2

SONG THEME: FOOLISH

TUPAC POV

As I'm in the studio supposed to be listening to the rewind of my song I just recorded; I take the time to hit up my new friend, Megan.

Yes granted she got a man and I respect that, so I'll leave it alone. But she cool, got a good head on her shoulder. I seen an article they did on her in vibe magazines, and that's when I knew this girl got a good head on her shoulder.

Smart, ambitious, creative, funny, curvy; all the things a man can want. But clearly not Kenneth cause he a mark ass bitch, but hey that's who she wants so I can't argue....but be a good friend.

A local designer, and what put her on the map was the work she did in TLC's waterfall video. She not only put together their looks but directed it as well. Home girl got skills.

Skills that I should see if she could perform for me.

"Yo Pac, you good?"
"Yeah I'm good, just play that back real quick" I say after I hit send

When I'm leaving the studio I hear the ringing of my phone. I pull it out and see Megan's number, I didn't save it to seem like some punk that's going hard for her.

Answering I smile at her soft voice.

"Hey Miss Megan.... how you doing?"

MEGAN POV

I look in the mirror at the outfit I have on to meet up with my new friend. Not trying to be too flashy or too dressed up I settle for some jeans and a t shirt. With my hair in a ponytail I grab my sunglasses and head downstairs.

"Where you going looking all good?" Kenneth says as I pass the living room

"Going to hang with my friend"
"What friend?"
"Pac. If you must know"
"I don't like him" he says making me roll my eyes

"There's nothing bad about him"
"He's a thug. And he hangs with Suge, and we know he's nothing but bad news"

"Yeah okay"
".....so you not going"
"I am going. Him and I made plans and that's it"

"So you gonna leave me, your man to hang out with another man. How am I not sure you not sleeping with him?"

"Oh gosh. Don't be putting your insecurities on me. I'm a one man woman and that's it. I don't cheat. I have no reason to cheat. If I'm unhappy I can leave"
"So I guess you unhappy then, got a new friend and all now"

"Oh my gosh babe it's not that serious!"
"If so cancel. Don't go out with him. Stay home with me"

"Prove it..." he says looking at me
I take a deep breath pulling out my phone dialing his number and call him

Hey friend
Hey....I'm sorry to spring this on last minute but I have to cancel for today

I wait for him to say something on the other end but he doesn't, it's just quiet.

Hello...Pac

Yeah...I'm here

Oh I didn't think you heard me, you were so quiet

Nah I feel like there's nothing to say. You said you can't make it today, so what I need to speak for

Damn. Okay, you don't have to be all rude about it

I'm not being rude, I'm being honest and real. Unlike yo man

Excuse me

Nothing. Nothing. Just hit me up when you ain't on that tight ass leash anymore

I look at my phone as I hear the dial tone. First he tells me off then hangs up. He better be glad its '93, and I'm mature now cause a girl like me would fight a skinny ass nigga like him. I look at Kenneth as he looks at me.

"....Thanks babe.I'm glad you made the right choice" he says smiling at me

I smile back saying how I'm going to go change out my clothes.

I look in the mirror at myself and wonder why do I accept such shit like that.

TWO DAYS LATER

With a paintbrush in my hand I begin to paint over the sketches I made for an outfit. For who, I don't even know. Just an outfit for whoever wants it. I haven't heard from Pac since our little dispute, but would I? He said for me to call him when I'm not on a tight leash anymore, like what the fuck does that mean?!

Frustrated, I huff and go back to painting. I wish we would've hung out cause all I did was watch whatever Kenneth wanted to watch.... we didn't even cuddle, like what is that?!?

I go to huff again but my beeper goes off. Looking down at my belt I see it's Aaliyah, telling me to call her.

Hello

Hey girl!! What you doing?

Drawing...but what's up?

I've been asked to do this commercial......and they asked me what I would like but I don't know...c-can you help me with it?

Yeah sure. What's the brand?

Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfiger wants you do to their commercial !?! That's amazing girl

Thanks...so the meeting for it all is Monday is that fine with you?

Yes that's perfect for me

"Babe....it's Tommy Hilfiger! Like she wants me to help for their next commercial ! I-I can't believe it" I say to Kenneth as I'm getting in the bed before we go to sleep

"That's nice Meg"

That's nice Meg... what the hell is that?

"Are you not happy for me or something?"

"I am...I just think you shouldn't do it. Like how is that gonna put you on the map?"

"Well at least someone looks for me for advice" I mumble

"What's that supposed to me?"

"That you, my man don't support me in anything I do. My friend that just became my friend supports me and holds me down. You don't"

"Whatever Megan. I support you. How you think you in this crib? Cause of me. So if I wanted to end this all, where would you go? Remember your mother don't even love you....so you need me. Remember that" He says and the static of the tv being turned on is the only sound heard in the room

I look straight ahead as he flips through the channel settling on In Living Color. I feel hot tears fall down my cheek. I never would've thought he would say that to me. Bring up my past and darkest secret and throw it in my face.
