This chapter is all about our little baby LeLee! And how she's feeling about everything that's been transpiring 🥺 Bear with my girl, she's going through it!OMNISCIENT
LeLee sat quietly on the loveseat, watching the rain drizzle against the hotel window. The rhythm of it was calming, a soft patter that mirrored her mood. Her earbuds were in, playing the smooth melody of "Making Love in the Rain," a song that always had a way of centering her. She nodded lightly to the music, her mind far away from the bustling noise of the hotel and the city of Dallas outside.
The trip from Phoenix to Dallas had been a quiet one for LeLee. She hadn't said much, choosing instead to retreat into her thoughts, letting the hum of the road and the steady rain from the Arizona skies accompany her silence. The rest of SWV hadn't pressed her too much, which she appreciated. Sometimes, you just needed the space to be still.
But now, in the stillness of her hotel room, she couldn't escape the thoughts swirling in her mind.
Coko.
Kandi.
The tension between them had been rising steadily, and LeLee didn't know how to navigate it. It wasn't just about what had happened earlier that day Coko accused her of "riding." That had been the boiling point, but the truth was, everything had felt off for a while now. She could sense the tension every time they were all together — a lingering, unspoken energy that hung in the air between her and Coko. And with Kandi, well, things were different, too. After the house in Phoenix, she and Kandi had grown closer in ways that confused her more than she'd like to admit.
She always told herself " she was too old for this shit" and she rightfully so said it every day, lol.
She sighed, resting her head back against the seat, eyes closing as she let the music take over for a moment. The flashes of memories played through her mind — her argument with Coko, that look in Kandi's eyes when she had woken up in her arms that night.
LeLee could tell Kandi was confused with the silent treatment, everyone was except for Coko and Taj. But she wasn't ready to talk about it. Not yet. How could she even begin to explain what was going on in her head when she didn't fully understand it herself? And Coko... God, the way she had snapped at her. It stung. Not because of what she said, but because deep down, LeLee could feel something else was brewing beneath Coko's anger. Something they hadn't addressed. Which made her even more confused.
The rain picked up its pace, drumming louder against the window. LeLee glanced outside, watching the droplets streak down the glass, each one leaving behind a trail. She found herself tracing them with her finger, thinking about how fleeting everything seemed — the good moments, the bad ones. They all passed like the rain.
LeLee shifted on the loveseat, her feet tapping lightly to the beat of the music. Her head was spinning, trying to make sense of everything. She cared about Kandi, more than she'd anticipated, and with Coko, there was something she needed to figure out. But all of it together — it was overwhelming.
