The Queen of R&B

i could fall in love

After a few weeks in L.A., finally everyone was going to be able to go back home
It's a friday its been two days since the photoshoot and marshall and aaliyah were able to go back to normal, Marshall never wanted to lose Aaliyah ever he loved her so much, he knew from the moment they kissed that she was going to be forever his
After Marshall apologized to tony, Tony started to like and trust Marshall more
Everyone has been packing and getting ready to go back home. As aaliyah got done packing, she got hungry and wanted to go get pizza

"Hey dad i'm gonna go down the street to Pizza Hut to get some pizza" Aaliyah said as she was getting her sweater on

"No babydoll, you're not going by yourself. Have someone go with you" Tony said in a firm voice, Marshall overheard and spoke up

"I'll go with her" Marshall quickly replied
Aaliyah looked at marshall with a soft smile

"Okay thanks marshall, ya'll be quick. We have to hurry up and get on the road"
So Liyah and Marshall walked to pizza, and they sat down at a table and started to talk

"So when is our next gig?" Marshall asked

"Next month we're going to Detroit,Boston and Nashville"

"Hi can i take your order?" the waitress asked

"Yes i will take a large double pepperoni pizza and a dr.pepper, please?" Aaliyah kindly asked

"Okay and for you?"

"I'll have the same, please, but i'll have a medium pizza" Marshall added

"Okay i'll be right back" the waitress said. Then she walked away
So marshall and aaliyah waited and talked, and marshall opened up to Aaliyah about his home past life, and Aaliyah told him about her life and what it was like being a child singer
Finally the food came and they started to eat

Aaliyah tore into the pizza like there was no tomorrow, and marshall watched her and started to smile, Liyah looked up and noticed marshall looking at her

"What?" Aaliyah said in a sassy tone

"You're seriously going to eat the WHOLE pizza by yourself"

"Yes! Watch me, i can eat a whole large pizza by myself, i love pizza"
Marshall and Aaliyah chuckled

"Pizza and tacos those are my two favorite foods ever, i hate it when people ask about my secret exercise secrets but it cracks me up everytime, they always go 'Aaliyah what are your secrets for having such a great figure everyone wants to know?' and i always say well i eat lots of tacos and pizza with lots of greasy meat and i eat doritos like crazy i scarf down cokes and i never ever exercise" then aaliyah made a dorky face at marshall and they both started to laugh

"Man, you're too crazy" marshall said
Aaliyah and marshall just gazed at each other

Something happened to Marshall that he never thought would happen. He fell in love

Aaliyah was the complete package
She had a body like Selena Quintanilla
She had a powerful, strong, uniqe voice like Toni braxton and Whitney Houston
She could dance like Micheal Jackson
She had a laugh and smile like Janet Jackson
She was so contagious
Her beauty was like no one else's she had a unique natural beauty
She wasn't like anyone else she was very humble and didn't let money or fame change her

She never saw herself as the Queen of R&B. She saw herself as Aaliyah Rivera, a normal girl who just wanted to have a normal humble life

"Aaliyah?"

"Yes?"

"I'm in love with you, I feel in love with you after we kissed on the bus for the first time, and I've been thinking a lot of what you said to me when we were outside of the hotel and when we're in the studio and your right and I don't wanna be that dumb rapper who's incapable of having anything real, I don't ever wanna lose you, I love so much and I wanna be with you forever, I love you so much that I wanna marry you one day"
Aaliyah had a strong, soft smile

"I love you too, Marshall. I wanna be with you forever, and I don't wanna lose ever"
Marshall couldn't believe that Aaliyah loved him back. All he wanted to do was jump up and down and shout to everyone and say she loves me too! But Marshall couldn't
Even though Tony liked and trusted Marshall, he still didn't want him messing around with Aaliyah
So marshall and aaliyah figure they needed to keep their relationship a secret, and so finally, Marshall and aaliyah were officially a couple

(COUPLE WEEKS LATER)
Aaliyah and Marshall relationship has been going great they managed to make it work
Aaliyah lived in San Antonio, and Marshall lived in Detroit

They would visit each other secretly and they would go to places with each other but they had to be secretive
Aaliyah knew if her father found out he wouldn't be happy

Today is Saturday, and aaliyah was at home, doing Whitney's makeup
And all the guys were trying to figure out more songs for the band
The band has top 5 No.1 songs, and that wasn't enough for them they wanted more they wanted to make it to the top

Tony was in his office reading mail and noticed that most of the mail was for Aaliyah and the other band members. It was fan mail
So tony called Dre and felt like he needed to tell him

(THE CALL)
Tony: Hey Dre, look, I'm in my office looking through the mail, and most of it is fan mail, and I don't know what to do with it all
Dre: Well it's a good thing that you called me I got some news, turns out Aaliyah is getting nominated for two Grammys and since she rising up fast and she's been named the Queen of R&B, the Princess of Rap she needs a fan club now
Tony: A fan club, well, who's gonna run it?
Dre: Don't worry, I have a list of good people I know, and i'll let you and Aaliyah interview them
Tony: Wow, Aaliyah is only 17, and she's already named the Queen of R&B
Dre: Yep! She's a star, she's gonna make it, I'll come by your house later so I can let you know the info for fan club presidents, see you later, man
(END OF CALL)

Tony was happy for Aaliyah he knew that Aaliyah would make it

"Aaliyah we need to talk"

"Okay" Aaliyah said

"Look when i went and got the mail i've noticed a lot of it is for you, from fans and Dre wants to start you a fan club and he's gonna come by and help us choose"

"Wow, really?" Aaliyah asked excitedly

"Yep, everyone is calling you the Queen of R&B, the Princess of Rap. You're making it to the top" Tony said happily

"Wow"

"I know, so be ready cause alot is changing, you have another photo shoot coming up and it's in New York, the whole band is coming and you don't have to worry about them changing your style, bring whatever clothes you want" Tony said
Then he got and started to walk away

"Dad?" aaliyah asked

"Yes?"

"For the next album, I wanna start R&B pop"

"Aaliyah I'm not sure if right now is the right time" Tony explained

"Why not? I mean, we have 10 albums out, and most of them are R&B or rap, and I think I'm ready"

"Well let's talk to Dre, and let's see how it goes" Then Tony kissed aaliyah forehead and went upstairs
Aaliyah went to her room and called Marshall and told him everything

Only if Aaliyah knew what was going to happen next
