This day has just been full of surprises and I'm here for it. We were all getting settled on the plane and reality had sunk in, that this was really happening. I was so happy for every artist and for Chuckie. To be able to watch everything he's been working so hard on come to fruition is such a beautiful thing. I'm happy to be a part of it for real. "Why you so smiley?" Charles asked me. "I'm just really happy for you. Business is in a great place and all of your effort was not in vain. This tour is real, these artists are real, and life is taking off for you. This is just the beginning." I said to him and I finally saw him smile big. "Yeah I dreamt of this moment for so long and now that it's come, I'm trying to feel this forever. Like this is all I ever wanted, even as a kid. Then I can't even take all the credit because the artists are so dope. Like each person brings something different to the table and it all fit together. Like they were pieces that formed the puzzle in my mind. But I couldn't have put it together without you though. Thanks for believing in me." He said to me. "I'm gonna always believe in you. You've been a master of making something out of nothing since we met. I'd travel to the depths of the ocean with you, because I know we'd find our way back to the top. You've never given me a reason to doubt anything about you. So I'm here for it." He nodded his head in acknowledgment. I looked over at the crew and it looked like Araya was already asleep, Cochise was chillin, Onyx and Paradox were laughing with each other, Riek and Aries were still beaming, Dom & Kev looked like they were rehearsing their lyrics, and Rodney was listening to his music loud as hell. I see this is what the on the road life was going to be like. I'm with it, but I know closer to the end of this, I was gonna be homesick, but I couldn't even think about that now. I was way too ready for this here. I'm glad we did spring for the business class seats because we had a little more room and it was lightweight closed off. "Yo C-Money, did Jay hit you up?" Riek asked him as he looked over at his phone. "Naw I saw them before we even left." "Wait so they really got married?" Aries said as she sat up looking shocked as we did. "It's true, they really got married." I confirmed. "He's a wild boy." Riek said as he laughed a little bit. I still haven't found the right words to say about that situation either. I mean I love it for real, but at the same time, but I gotta understand his reason why. I'm not crazy I know for a fact he still loves Dom, but he is so fascinated with Suki. I love ol girl for real, but I hope she's ready for the ride he's getting ready to take her on. Like not even intentionally because he's not that dude, but I can't imagine what it's like not knowing from day to day what version of him you're gonna get. But then again, maybe that's how everyone feels about me. I keep hearing everyone say how I seem different, even though it's being said in a good way, I don't know if that speaks for how I normally am. Don't get me wrong, we're all growing and adapting but this was different to a degree. I don't think I take these type of decisions so lightly. But again...who am I? "His mother is gonna kill him." Rodney said. We all laughed. "No for real, Dr. Hayes is sweet as pie, but I have heard her correct the fuck out of him before. My mom been a patient of hers for years and the shit I used to overhear just by sitting in the waiting room is crazy. But she would always be well within reason, but you know she loves the hell out of him. To just up and get hitched, knowing she would've wanted them to have the ceremony of the century is crazy work." "I could see that too for real because she basically raised him by herself and everything and he's the only child. There's definitely gonna be repercussions for that. She more than likely won't be mad per se, but she gone be hurt." Riek said. "Right and she's a black mom. Bruhhhh hurting them is worse than pissing them off." Rodney added. I understood because one thing I realized being around black people all my life, is they really look at family in a whole different light. I get why 'family first' is their mantra because that's their legit way of life. I can't even imagine how she's gonna feel when she finds out. "He probably just wanted to beat them to the punch." Aries said as she eyed Dom and Kev. "Damn...I didn't even think of that part." I said. "You might be right, because how else could you one-up the two that are going out on tour fresh out of high school?" Charles said and then that sank in. "I don't know because he's definitely my gym partner and he was just admitting how he still...well y'all know but he really does lover Suki. Which I mean, he do for real. But marriage seems a bit of an extreme way to prove that fact to her though." Riek said. "He didn't have to prove it to her though, believe me, she knows that nigga loves the fuck out of her. It might be more of a proving it to himself thing because that's what truly matters." I said in their defense. I mean it wasn't completely crazy because they were meant for each other, but as quick as it happened is what has us all a little puzzled. "You know me, I'm no hater so I congratulated them and shit and left it at that." Riek said. "Same." Me and Chuckie said together.
