13) Audition Pt. 1

2 weeks later

Jehari

I paced the living room as I fiddled with my manicured nails. My audition was in four hours and I was up early. I woke up two hours ago at four in the morning. That's how nervous I was.

"Babe, calm down. You'll be fine, now come back to bed." I heard Romeo's sleepy voice.

Looking up, I saw him looking at me from the balcony. His blue sweat pants hung off of his body, exposing his V line. I got distracted looking at his sculpted body and felt my panties get wet.

Damn you Romeo!

"I can't sleep Romeo."

I continued to pace the living room and play with my fingers.

"Jehari, stop stressing baby."

I felt his arms wrap around me and his lips met my neck.

"What if I don't get in?"

"Then we'll get you your own dance school. Baby, we not hurting for money."

"I'm so scared. I just want to make my mama proud of me."

"She is boo. I promise you that."

I turned to him and kissed his plump lips. He always knew what to say.

"Now come back to bed."

Romeo pulled me up the stairs and checked on mama before taking me and laying me down.

"Go to sleep love." He kissed me.
---------------------------------------------------

Waking up at eight forty five, I took a real good shower to ease some of my nervousness.

After drying off, I went into Romeo and I's closet and picked out a black leotard, purple leggings, a black PINK hoodie, and black flip flops.

After I got dressed, I put my hair in a neat bun and brushed my teeth. Then I went downstairs where my mom was fixing plates.

"Morning baby, you ready for your audition?" My mom asked, sitting a plate of food in front of me.

I nodded and started to eat. Romeo sat next to me a few minutes later.

"Good morning love." He kissed my cheek.

"Good morning babe."

We ate our breakfast with only he and Mama conversing. 'What Ifs' ran through my head causing me to lose my appetite.

"Jehari, you ready?"

I nodded and went to get my dance bag. Romeo helped Mama and I into his new silver 2015 Lexus lx570.

They were coming with me to my audition which made me feel somewhat better. As he drove, Romeo to my hand in his and kissed it.

"You're gonna kill it baby girl. I promise you that." He gave a smile.

"You think so?"

"I know so."

"He damn right you gonna kill it! My baby a ballerina!" Mama shouted from behind me.

I shook my head at her craziness. Romeo soon pulled up in front if the school and helped us out.

I walked up to the sign in table and signed my name.

"Ms. Wilson, you're right on time." The man smiled at me.

I immediately got uncomfortable, noticing that he was one of my regulars when I worked at the club.

He was also the man who'd attempted multiple times to pull me off stage. I masked my fear with a fake smile and took a number.

I was able to talk to Romeo and Mama while I stretched.

"What song you pick for your audition?" Mama asked.

"Grand Piano by Nicki Minaj." I said as I sat on the wooden floor and stretched.

Mama nodded and helped me stretch. I had seven people ahead of me and as my turn got closer, I became nervous.

As I stretched, my phone went off. I picked it up and opened the notification. Romeo had tagged me in a picture on Instagram.

Montana_Romeo: @JehariNoelle getting ready for her audition. Good luck baby girl. I love you .

I looked up at him as he grinned. He leaned down and kissed my lips.

"I love you Jeh."

"I love you too. Thanks baby."

"You got it dude!"

I laughed at him and got up.

"Jehari?"

I looked over at a petite woman.

"Mr. Haynes would like to see you before you audition."

I scrunched my face up and followed her to a room. The man sat in a chair and my heart dropped.

"Thank you Hannah."

The woman nodded and left. Mr. Haynes stood up and walked over to me. He tried to kiss me, but I dodged it.

"C'mon Chocolate, I can help you get into this school if you give me what I want."

Shaking my head, I turned to walk out only to be pulled back.

"Chocolate, just give me a taste."

"That's not my name! Get off of me."

I snatched away from him and quickly left the room. I bumped into Romeo and turned to quickly wipe my face.

"Baby, you okay?" He turned me to face him.

"Y-yeah." I lied.

"Nah, what that man say?"

"N-nothing."

"Jehari, what he say?"

"You remember that man you tackled at the club?"

"Yeah."

"He is Mr. Haynes. He tried to get me to have sex with him."

Romeo clenched his jaw and looked up behind me. His eyes showed anger and his fists tightened.

"Say bruh, you tried to fuck my girl?" He approached Mr. Haynes angrily.

"I mean, she's a stripper so..." Mr. Haynes smirked.

Before I knew it, Romeo had him against a wall.

"Repeat that shit. I dare you to." Romeo growled.

"What's going on here?"
