"Only for a few weeks.. did you just say you liked-" I say with a bit of hope in my voice
"No!" She says fast asf
"Oh.. but yeah, I'm leaving for a few weeks. I was supposed to leave. Monday, but there's been a change of plans and I fly out tonight..."
"Oh... where are you going?"
"Uhh London.."
"What for?"
"Um.. that doesn't necessarily um... I'm going to visit a friend." Thinking of something quick. I mean it's not necessarily untrue, but that's not all the reason I'm going.. me and my team added to the list of the pop up tour because a friend of mine that lives out there wanted to get in the studio with me and we already have the song down all we needed to do in the studio and record. me and her had been working on this song for a year now, but we finally got it under wraps so this was the perfect time. And since it's such short notice, we didn't have permission from their people to build a stage randomly anywhere so and her were going to do it in a nightclub and perform the song for everybody to hear for the first time.
"Nice... I think I should go" she says quickly, grabbing her stuff and walking out the door before I can even say anything.
I wasn't trippin I know what I heard...so why did she go back on it?
"Uhh okay bye." I go to my room and get my already packed bags and head to the airport via Uber and leave my car in the condo garage. Out of all the things that could've been, awkward was number one thing on the list.
Maybe she just said it by accident... maybe she doesn't really like me. Either way I'm a G. So who cares?... right?....
I Put my headphones on until I get to the airport after a small conversation with the driver. Who thankfully doesn't know who I am.
When I get to the airport, I am Escorted tothe private jet that my team booked for me. Cause mama knows we don't have that type of money yet. I mean. we do but just the right amount to where if I spend it Ima be broke.
When I get on the jet, I am greeted by my team we exchange a few words and immediately after I put my seat on, laid down and went to sleep.
When I woke up, we were literally just about to land, so I take a sip of my water and prepare for this landing. I never got used to planes. We are now walking off the plane and my phone finally changed times and I see that it is 10 AM. So I decide to text Simbiatu (little simz) and we decide to Meet at some mall close to where the studio is.
"Hey girl!!" I say to her
"Heyyy" she says in her cute little British accent
"How have you been?" I say as we walk around the mall
"I've been good. I've been in the studio a lot lately you know."she says with a chuckle.
"oh yeah, I know.. I haven't been in a while" looking around at the stores
"oh I know... Kehlani, the soccer superstar!" She says laughing with that laugh that's always been contagious I start laughing as well.
"Hey! It's not with me! A few months ago, I didn't even want to think about soccer.Now it's all I can think about with the draft coming up.. this mini tour is supposed to bring me back to my roots. And get me ready for the crowds at Coachella.... Speaking of I want you to perform with me." I say looking at her. Her eyes brighten up.
"Are you serious?!" She says with a bright smile
"of course I am!" I say, hugging her from the side
"Who knew Miss Kehlani could be so spontaneous"
"You're only a year older than me relax!" I say laughing
"But you know what. you want to see spontaneous... I'll show you spontaneous" I say, dragging her into a barbershop. I told the barber what I wanted and he got to work. Chopping off my curls that took me two years to grow from the previous cut.

She stares at me in pure shock as the barber is just cutting away.
When we're finally finished, I pay the barber with my card and leave a generous tip.
"do you like it?" I say Shaking my now invisible curls.
"You look good wth!" She says and I just laugh mainly at how thick her accent was when she said that.
"Thanks let's go though we gotta song to record" simz is an upcoming artist I met on Instagram a few years back and we've clicked ever since. When I was on tour. I had her come to my London show to see what this was like. Since then she's made a name for herself.
When we get there, me and her walking inside laughing to all the producers are working on this sick ass beat Little do I know Dave is recording us goofing off.
me nd simz work on the finishing touches to the lyrics and after we're done with that i hop in the booth and sing the beginning and the choirs.
