Christopher

The first day of the show was interesting and humid. Cali had nothing on Florida that day. Janet was sweating her edges out and the back of my shirt was drenched. With the ac in the stadium we were cool. I didn't want to do any outside activities while in Florida.

I stood in the arena before the stage with Story. Looking at the amount of seats was scary. It amazes me how comfortable Janet is on stage with the amount of bodies that fill those seats. I preform in front of bodies but not half as many as her shows.

"Come on dad" Story yanked on my hand as her voice whined. "What's the point of being in Florida if you don't take me to Disney"

I shook my head no as she continuously pulled my arm down in a yanking motion. "Hey Story, I promise I'll take you when the tour is over" I lifted my head from Story following that voice.

Denzel stood there smiling at my daughter. "Denzy" she sung before letting go of me. She ran into him wrapping her arms around him.

"Dad, Denzy will take me" she said looking back at me.

I widened my eyes while speaking with her, giving her a stern look. "Ok, did he ask your father for permission first?"

"Hi" Denzel paused looking at me. "Mr. Williams?"

"You can call me Christopher" I spoke putting my hands in my pockets.

"Right, Christopher, may I have your permission to take your daughter to Disney. I can take Eissa too" he asked.

In that moment I realized if it wasn't for Story he wouldn't be talking to me right now. Story lifted her face watching me, I looked back at her. Just looking at her I could tell how badly she wanted to go to Disney.

"Yes, I'd like that Denzel and I'm sorry for our first interaction. That was my fault" I spoke reaching my hand over Story to shake his.

He looked at my hand thinking for a second. "Just do it already" Story sung.

Both Denzel and I laughed synonymously before looking at each other. He shook my hand with a firm grip. "Ah" I screamed making him jump.

Story and I laughed at the frightened expression on his face. Denzel pulled his hand back as I watched his chest rise and fall in a fast pace. "Did I scare you" I questioned.

A small smile appeared on his face. "Yeah , you got me" he said nodding his head.

"Good, now that you guys are friends now" Story said while looking between the both of us. "Now the both of you can take me and Eissa to Disney, maybe Stevanna can come too" she spoke in an upbeat tone.

"Who's Stevanna Story? Your little friend" Denzel asked.

I shook my head no. "Janet's niece"

"Ok, hopefully I get to meet her someday" Denzel spoke.

"Hey! Get ya ass up here, we're rehearsing" Bryan yelled. I lifted my head up to see his head hanging from the edge of the stage.

"Hey Story" he yelled waving at her with a smile. "Unc don't think because we're family you're not getting pranked" Bryan said pointing to me.
