Unforgettable Love

Studio Love

Drake

I decided to hit up the studio to try and clear my mind. Every since last night, Aaliyah has been on my mind more than the usual. Noah came up with this fire ass beat and I was really feeling the vibe. I had already wrote a verse when he came out and sat by me.

Noah: Bro, you've been in your zone today. What's good witcha?

D: Nothing man. I just got this vibe on my mind

Noah: Oh yeah, spit it to me

D: Aight check it (starts singing) I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see, I want your high love and emotion, endlessly, I can't get over you, you left your mark on me, I want you high love and emotion, endlessly

Noah: (fans him) Woooo! That's hot there!. Let's get it!

We record the track and while I'm sitting here listening to it, all I see is Aaliyah. I close my eyes and I imagine being wrapped in her arms and sniffing her neck. I imagine running my fingers through her hair and looking into her eyes. Kissing those lips. My thoughts came to a halt when I heard Timbaland come through the door.

T: Oh shit! That's that funk!

Noah: Timbo! What's good man?

T: (daps him) Shit, you know me man. Chilling like a villain!

D: Tim, what's up?!

T: Shaking and baking baby. I hear that heat you in here mixing up!

D: You know how it go

Noah: so what's up?

T: nothing much man. Got an artist coming through to meet up with me, Babygirl and Rashad.

Noah: Oh word, Aaliyah coming through?

T: Yeah man. Trying to get her back into the studio her damn self

Noah: Hell yeah. She's missed. Plus this nigga wanna do a track with her

T: (looks at Drake) Oh word? You wanna collaborate with Liyah?

D: Yeah man. I got a vision already

T: (smiles/rubs goatee) She's being stubborn but me and Miss are trying to pressure her back into the groove

Aaliyah not making music, to me, is like Huggies not making diapers. I still bump her albums in my ride. Her voice puts me at ease and calms my nerves. It's like therapy in my ear. She definitely needs to reconsider.

A: I know you not in here talking about me big head (hits the back of Tim's head)

T: You know it's all love Babygirl (hugs her)

A: Hey Noah (hugs him)

I stood up and it felt like all the wind was leaving me. She looked at me and smiled. My heartbeat felt it was going to bounce out my chest. And then she spoke.

A: Hey, we haven't officially been introduced but I'm a huge fan of your music

D: Wow! (nervous chuckles) I'm a much bigger fan (holds out hand) Nice to meet you Aaliyah

A: (shakes his hand) Nice to meet you Drake

D: Please, call me Aubrey

A: (smiles) Nice to meet you Aubrey

T: Now that you here Lee, let me introduce you to the artist. She's in the next room

A: Alright. Rashad says he's on his way. It was nice seeing you Noah and nice to officially meet you Aubrey

D: yeah, same to you Aaliyah

She smiled before she turned and followed Tim out the room. All I could do was stare as she walked away. What a woman. What. A. Woman.

Noah: Aye man, let's finish recording this song before you die of thirst.

D: (laughs) Aight, bet
