Livin It Up (Sequel to Make It Last Forever)

Tattooed Heart

August POV

So ya boy been doing big things out here,I am now a Singer and I've been having a great start so far. My first single off my album "Testimony" is doing well on the charts and more money is coming in. I'm in the home studio right now recording a few songs off my album. The song is called "Grind & Pray"

"As I lay me down to sleep
I pray to Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray to Lord my soul to take" I sung

"Keep that same range" The producer says

I nod my head and continue.

"My cup full, I'm laid back, I'm bout mine, you know that
I'm rag racin', zoom zoom, in a rush to get all that
Cross my heart, I die hard, come through your hood, in all black
If you real, you'd recognize,All I do is grind, and pray
Riding through the streets all day
I'm juuuuuust (gettin' to this money, gettin'-gettin' to this money)
(Gettin' to this money, gettin'-gettin' to this money)" I sung

I repeat the chorus again before going into the second verse.

"My mama callin' on my line
Ain't talked in a couple days
Cause I got a lot on my mind
Tryna flip this up a couple ways" I sung while hitting a high note at the end

I sing the interlude and chorus again,before the bridge of the song twice.

"Everyday, I'm on it
365 I'm grindin', prayin', yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..." I sung

The rest of the song I pretty much sing with a high tune but it still came out great. I feel my phone vibrate and it's a call from Ciara.

"Hey babyluv" I say

I have a bunch of names for her,nic,and Tyla.

"Hey,what you doing?" She asks

"In the home studio" I say

"Aight see you in 3 minutes" She says

"Ok,bye" I say

"Bye" She says

The call disconnects and I start writing a song about my mom,just as the beat starts Ci and Nicki walk in.

"Hey August" They smile

"Hey beyhehs" I say

They greet the producer and sit on the couch.

"Aight man we done for today" I say to the producer

"Aight,see you tomorrow" He says before dapping me up

"Goodnight ladies" He says

"Goodnight" They say

"So what made y'all wanna come by here?" I ask

"Haven't seen you in a while cause now you're so busy" Nicki says

"Aww y'all missed yung" I smirk

"Don't get cocky" Ci laughs

"What's up with y'all?" I ask

"We're good,had a small problem but it's not important" Nicki says

"Good,pass all that shit,typical bullshit is never worth the fall of a relationship" I say

"You guys and Tyla and Christian are relationship goals" I add

"Thanks Aug" Nicki says

"No problem but Nicki watch out for the dude you working with" I say seriously

"Alan?" She asks

"Yea,he seems sneaky" I say

"Thanks Aug" She says

"No problem" I say

"You know if the others are in New York?" Ci asks me

"Jermaine,Tyla,Drake,and Future" I say

"You going back to writing or no?" She asks

"I'm done" I say

She starts typing away in her phone,so I'm guessing she's inviting them over here.

Ciara POV

A few hours pass and we've been spending time with August,Tyla,Aubrey,Jermaine,and Nayvadius all day. We barely see each other cause of our schedules,it was getting late and I had a photo shoot in the morning and Nicki had to work on her movie.

"It's getting late,we gotta go" I say

"It is,I'll be in New York all week so I'll see y'all tomorrow" Drake says

"Yea,I gotta shoot a video tonight so I'll be here for a few days" Jermaine says

"Alright bye" Me and Nicki say

"Bye" They say

We get in the car and I drive back to the house,when we get there we change into something comfortable and lay on the bed. It's crazy how far we've come,every day I fall more in love with Nicki and I don't even know how that's possible. I don't care how much money she has or don't,no games,all I need is her love and I would be the happiest person. I don't care about anything as long as I'm the one who has her heart.
