All of my babies were back in school now and my parents were back home now so my house seemed a lot emptier. It's the first of August and I've been in the gym twice a week trying to get this body right. I've noticed I'd been gaining a little happy weight and I'd just gotten casted as a supporting actress in a new movie so I really wanted to be in shape for that. I had just gotten out of the shower and changed into a pair of jeans and a blue T shirt. I grabbed my my purse and phone and went to FaceTime my fiancé, the phone rung a little too long for me but she eventually answered. I headed downstairs and refilled my cup with cold water.
"Hey mama!"
"Hey baby."
"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
"I'm in a meeting, we should be wrapping up in a few minutes. Can I call you right back?"
"Okay." I pouted and left the house.
"Don't pout, I love you."
"I love you too." She kissed me through the phone and hung up. I got in my car and headed to the studio, I'd been trying to work on some new music. I'd been in my acting bag and since the color purple and I had been getting asked to perform everywhere. My last performance was at the US capital and I was so honored to sing the national anthem and perform on that platform. I, of course had Taraji come with me and we had a great time. It was a week after my birthday so we got to spend Independence Day together. I did have a performance for a jazz and music festival but that was towards the end of the month and I planned on dragging my baby with me again. I loved having her around, seeing her in the audience or knowing she was around made me feel so much better about performing. Whenever my anxiety strikes she always knows how to ease my mind so I always want her around. When I showed up to the studio I took the elevator up to the third floor and went to recording room #3. I walked in expecting to see my usual engineer Thomas, but this man was definitely not Thomas.
"Hey everyone." My band and my assistant Devin greeted me with hugs. "Who's this?" I asked my assistant.
"Hello Ms Barrino I'm Micah I'm filling in for Thomas for the week he's dealing with a family emergency right now." We shook hands.
"Oh okay."
"He's really good Ms Barrino you'll like him." Devin assured me.
"We'll see." I responded. Devin took everything out my hands.
"Ooh wifey is calling you." He handed me my phone and I answered it immediately.
