Another Chance

What Do We Do?

Dario POV

We were currently in New York for the week. Janet had a bunch of promo stuff to do for the upcoming tour. And I had classes to teach. She still had a spot in New York that not many knew about. It was a two level condo. I swear I didn't even know she had so much real estate. She kept that quiet. This one was simple, but it had the best appliances and the sickest sound system. Even with us being together I wanted her to have her space so I'd stay at a hotel from time to time. I knew she'd would get upset with me if I did. She would argue with me about it even. I just wanted to make sure that she was really sure about us. We still had a lot to talk about as far as moving in together. Where would we stay? Finances? It was a lot that needed to be done.

"Babe what's wrong? Why you restless?"

We were sitting on the couch. She turned to me.

"Nothing."

"You moving too much."

She took a deep breath.

"So you know we are talking about a restarting the tour right?"

"Yeah."

"We might take it to Europe in the fall and maybe South Africa."

"Oh that's what's up!!! I can't wait!"

"And again in the states."

"What's wrong J?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"I know you. What's up? Baby talk to me."

"We're gonna have Nelly this go 'round."

"Oh that's cool. I like him!"

"I don't know if you remember, but he's good friends with Mauldin."

"Mauldin? Jermaine?"

"Oh I'm sorry. Yes, Jermaine..."

"Oooohhh right I forget you call him that."

"I don't know if he'll pop up. Knowing him he will. Nelly who also is my good friend has been pushing for us to get back together."

"Well like I said before I'm not worried and I don't share. Baby you already know that."

"You've said that before and he was up on me. You freaked out!"

"He tries it again I'ma fuck him up. And that I'm serious about J. Look I'm not playing about that. He pushes up on you and I will let him know. You should know how I am about that kind of thing."

"Darius..."

"No, I'm serious Janet. I'm not going through that again. We're together and you'll need to tell him."

She looked down.

"Are you still feeling weird about us." She quickly looked at me.

"Oh my goodness baby!! No not at all!! Baby I'm not ashamed of what we have. I love you so much! I love what we have. He does know that I'm with someone. That you don't have to worry about. I've never told him I was single or anything. You know I love spending time with you. He just has a big mouth. If I told him it was you it would be all over the news."

"I get it."

"You do?"

"Yeah. I want you to be comfortable. But he needs to know you with someone and it's serious. You don't have to tell him it's me if you worried about him tellin people. And you know I don't have to go shouting it to the mountain top that we together. As long as you know we are. I don't care about anyone else or anything else. I only care about what we have going on. I love you."
