"Somethings gonna change if we wanna get ahead.." Trevante said as we were in the bathtub, taking a bath together with the candles lit.
"What are you talking about babe? We are getting ahead" I said.
"No YOU'RE getting ahead. I haven't got any movie roles since Mea Culpa. I'm just waiting and waiting. But you, I'm proud of you. All the celebrities coming to you to get their hair done. It's about time everybody knows how good you are" Trevante said.
"Aww thank you baby. Now you sound like Mickie. And we will talk about that later. Right now, we're talking about you. And you, Trevante Rhodes, are one of the most known, talked about black actor. You should be proud of that." I said.
"Most known and talked about ain't good enough. Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate it all, it's just that—" He started off before sighing.
"What baby?" I said grabbing his beard.
"When I was listening to my co star paint a picture that I wish could be my future, it just made me wonder if I'm doing enough." He said.
"Don't compare yourself to others. If your dreams are gonna be anything other than shit that happens while you sleep then, you gotta be the one to make that happen you know?" I said.
"Absolutely." Trevante said.
"And I want you to understand how proud I am, I'm just so proud of everything you're doing with your life. I mean, the girls at my salon get so tired of me talking about what a good man I have." I said and we both laughed.
"Is that right?" He said smiling before kissing my cheek.
"Mhm. They be saying girlllll we do not wanna hear about yo happy ass relationship" I said laughing.
"Well, I want you to continue bragging bout yo good man" Trevante said kissing my forehead.
"Always" I said.
"I'm gone make you a promise" He said.
"Okay" I said.
"I will never get involved in no bullshit or schemes unless it's NECESSARY." He said.
"Okay. Long as you keep that promise I'm coo." I said with a smile.
"And one day I wanna help niggas that wanna get off the streets like I did. And if they do wanna get off the streets, they deserve the same chance you and yo family gave me." Trevante said.
"I'm still tryna figure out why we did that" I said sarcastically and he looked at me and said "Oh really?"
"Mhm" I said and he tickled me and I laughed. "Maybe this is why, all that good lovin I be giving you" Trevante said holding me and wrapping one of my legs around him as we both were laying on our side.
"They don't know bout that" I said as we laughed and we started kissing slowly.

"Babe!" I heard Janet say as she was finally home.
"In the kitchen baby!" I said.
I then reached for the gift I got her while I was out.
One thing bout me, I'm gone spoil my girl and my daughter.
"Hey, how was your day?" Janet asked as she walked in the kitchen, and gave me a kiss.
"It was coo, had an audition, just waiting on that callback if it's meant for me" I said.
"It's perfect for you! They seen you in Mea Culpa, they'd be crazy not to hire you for it" She said and I smiled.
"I got something for you" I said handing her the box.
"What? Aww babe" Janet said.
"Open it" I said kissing her forehead.
She opened the box, and slowly pulled out the necklace made of expensive pearls and her jaw slowly dropped.
"Oh my goodness" Janet said.
"You like it?" I asked.
"I love it, they're beautiful..." Janet said.
"This is so pretty baby— Thank you so much" She added before giggling.
"You're so welcome" I said wrapping my arms around her.
"You stay spoiling me." Janet said looking up at me.
"You give me every reason to. You my baby." I said and she blushed giving me kisses over and over.
"Food's almost done, I hooked up a lil something something, for all of us" I said.
"Yes! Let me go change, see Ivory and then I'll be right down" Janet said.
"Alright" I said giving her another kiss before I walked up the stairs.
