"Hold up...when did you even have time to write all of these? We been back from the tour for like 2 seconds and you got like 5 songs written already??" I asked Dom as we shared a blunt in the studio. We both started laughing. "Girl I'm not gone lie, I been high off my ass and just vibing out to instrumentals. Before I knew it, the verses basically wrote themselves. But one of them needs a male verse and another one is just missing something but I can't quite put my finger on what that is." she said to me. "Babycakes you know I'm a music fan, but I don't have the same ear as y'all do for what it might be missing. I wish I could help with that. Did you ask Kev?" I asked her as she passed me the blunt. She shook her head. "Y'all good?" I asked her. "We're great. It's just to switch places, I basically been able to decompress while he looks for a house." she told me. "Okay cool, cuz I was about to say 'the fuck'!!" She just laughed and shook her head as she passed the blunt back to me. "So...you getting ready for that photo shoot?" she asked me and I got butterflies. "I think so. I mean I've never done it, but I'm sure I can do it." I said to her. "I'm positive you can. Just let you shine through the pictures and I'm sure they'll love it." she said with the confidence that I know I should have, but I'm nervous. "Ummm what's that face?" "Girl...you know I'm the most confident, outspoken individual there is, but even I get bad nerves sometimes. A bitch is nervous." I said to her as I put the blunt out. "Pleeease! You are gorgeous and that body is tea my baby! Ain't no reason for you to ever have any doubts. You better get out there and work it!" She said and I smiled. "You and Toy should come with me." I said to her. "I'm game, but you might wanna make sure it isn't her turn with the baby or that she doesn't have plans with Dox." she said with a slight giggle. "That shit still don't even sound right." I said to her and we both laughed at it. "It did sound funny when I said it, but I guess that's the new norm." she said. "It is, but they seem to be happy, so it is what it is." I said to her and she just nodded. "But shit Tony and ol girl look super cute together though." I admitted. "They do. I love that for him, but that's scary since him and Toya still have this thing. Like I feel for Rita because that could end abruptly or messy for real." "True, but Tony doesn't strike me as the type to allow it to play out like that." "He isn't, but Toya is." Dom said and the sad part is I couldn't even argue it. Like Toya was our bitch but her uppity ass really did seem to like drama. Almost as if she thrives in it. I don't know if she just likes to rise above adversity, but it was always like she smiled more during these times. Or maybe it's a coping mechanism because she really be trying to not let anyone see her sweat. She will show emotion with no problem though...it's weird. "So y'all still frenemies or y'all finally sort that out?" I asked. "Boooo now you know that shit one-sided as fuck. You know I just be chillin, I don't chase, I attract. What comes to me, comes. What leaves, can go. If she wants to be cool, then we can. But I'll just let the chips fall where they may. I can't give that type of energy to anything negative." She looked over at me and I stared back. "What?" she asked me. "What kind of weed your in-tune ass been smoking?" I asked and we both laughed hysterically. "You know I only smoke medicinal." She said calmly as I picked up the phone to call Toya. "Hey Love!" Toya said sounding real chipper. "Hey boo! How's my son doing?" I asked her and she immediately laughed. "Damn...no how ya doing? Just straight to your son though?" she said as we both laughed for a minute. "He's good though. About to get him ready to go back with Tony." she said. "That's what's up. You free tomorrow?" I asked her. "I just so happen to be, what's up?" she asked. "My shoot is tomorrow and I was just talking to Dom about how great it would be for you two to be there." I said to her and Dom looked over at me goofily. "Uhh sure. What time should I be ready?" she asked me. "9, since I have to be there at 10." I told her. "Cool! I'll be read...wait you driving?" she asked me abruptly. "Yes, I'm driving." I assured her. "Ouuuu girl I don't know because your driving gives me anxiety." She said and her and Dom both laughed at that one. "Fuck y'all!!" I said as I joined in on the laughter. "I can drive." Dom said interjecting. "I like that idea better." Toya said chiming in. "Ugh whatever." I said as I hung up on Toya and looked over at Dom who was still holding her laughter at the moment. "What bitch?" I asked. "Your license came from New York, right?" she asked me and I nodded. "That explains a lot. Y'all really don't drive much there." she said and we both laughed. "Damn and your ass is from Motor City." I said as it all began to make perfect sense. "You know it!" she said with a smile as she started to gather up her things to prepare to leave. "Yo ass just better not come in the morning looking like David Ruffin." I said to her. "Girlllll fuck you! David was smoking much more than weed my baby. I am a ganja connoisseur, that is it, that is all." We are all a hot ass mess.
