The next morning. 🌞

Chanell

I woke up with my head on Derrick's chest. I looked in the covers and I noticed that my clothes were off. What the hell happened last night? I looked at him and started to wake him up.

"Derrick, wake up. Come on, wake up! You have to go." I nudged him in his deep slumber. "Why, what's up? How did you sleep?" Derrick asked getting up from the bed. "My boyfriend's home from tour, and what we did was a mistake." He looked at me and nodded his head.

"Nelly, I still love you. Don't you understand that?" I sighed while saying yes. Deep down I still love him too. "I understand, Ricky but I can't hurt Eric." I stated on the verge of tears. Derrick picked me up by my waist and put my body on the dresser.

"Baby, I understand how you're feeling. I know that the love we shared is something that can't be broken. Last night when we made love, you made me feel so alive. So, you need to think about this, okay?" He leaned in to kiss me, causing me to have goosebumps all over my body.

"Okay, I will. Now, you better get going before he sees you." I said grabbing his clothes. As I checked the window, I see his Eazy's mint green '64 Impala. "Oh shit!" I yelled. Derrick walked behind me. "What's wrong, babe?" He asked me.

"My boyfriend's here! Go hide in the closet." I was so scared for my life, being that Eric is very crazy. "Oh shit! Here's your clothes." I tossed him his belongings as he went in the closet, and I kissed him. Instantly, I threw one of his shirts and a pair of black sweatpants. I fixed up the room, well basically the entire house before he came in the house.

I hear the doorbell ring, and the love of my life [somewhat] waiting at the door for me is Eric Lynn Wright. He had roses in his left hand.

"What's up baby!" He gave me the tightest hug, I could ever have. I kissed him on the lips. "I missed you so much, how was the tour?" I asked as I put the roses in the vase. "It was really great. A lot of fans came out to support. Who's car is that outside in our driveway?" I gulped trying to think of a lie. "Oh that's Jade, she came over to keep me company while I was alone." He nodded his head.

Meanwhile while Derrick is upstairs. 😥

Derrick

Yo I'm so fucking scared right now. What should I do? I should've known that having sex with Nelly was going to be a mistake. Last night's flashbacks started accumulating in my head, it felt so good but it's wrong. I was starting to put my clothes only to hear the door open. Oh no!

I heard the closet door open, it was Chanell breathing hard. I swear I'm looking at heaven right now. She started to speak.

"You have to get out of here, now!" She said very stern. I looked at her. "Okay. I'll be out in 5 minutes." I started to put on my clothes, she was looking at me as I was doing so. I finished. She got up and walked away, I pulled her back by her arm softly. "If you need something, or if "he" acts up, let me know." I kissed her lips softly. "I will." She rubbed her lips. I grabbed my jacket and left the house.

Repetition of last night's amusement are forming in my head right now. I can still feel her skin on mine. Her scent is still on me.

"I've missed you so much!" She moaned in my ear. I kissed her lotus flower.

"I know you do, baby."

Man, I know what we're doing is wrong. But, it's so right. I'm driving home. I still have the picture, from when we were children. To tell the truth, I'm glad that we made love. She's real.

Going inside the house, my mother was sitting in her chair sleeping. I went upstairs to my room, the reason why my mother stays with me, she's very sick and she needed my help. I'm willing to do anything to help my mother.

I went in the bathroom, and took a shower. I wish Nelly was here. Back in New York, we did everything together, and I mean everything.

I stared at the ceiling thinking about her. All of the things that  we use to do, could never compare to what we did last night.

If I could turn back the hands of time, I would. Now I can't.

Eric

I feel like Chanell is hiding something from me, but I don't want to jump conclusions yet. She's been acting very distant lately, it might be something personal, I don't know.

I was at Ruthless Records, with the boys recording my new album Eazy Duz It. Cube was still writing some lyrics for the album, and Dre was making more beats for the music.

"Yo E, you ready?" Yella, who was on the mixing board started to play the music.

"Alright, E, we can pick this tomorrow." Dre stopped the music as I put the headphones on the speaker. "Aye man, your sister has been acting weird, lately." I told him, as he looked at me with concern.

"Ever since Tyree passed away, she's been very distant, you know her and him were very close. Come on, be reasonable about this." Dre stated facts.

"Yeah you right, I've been tripping lately." I said compiling with his words.

Tyree was killed in an altercation, and things haven't been the same since then.

"Besides, you can't talk about nobody. You the one, with another baby on the way with that groupie named Keisha." Cube said being irritated.

Keisha was this groupie I met back in New Orleans, while we were on tour. Damn, I can't believe she's pregnant. The last thing I want to do is hurt Chanell.

"Aye, chill Cube. But look I have to go and deal with LaVetta, and her crazy bullshit." Dre stated while leaving the studio.

"Yeah I'm about to go too, yo Eazy lock up before you leave." Cube replied walking out.

With that, I just sat there and started thinking about everything. Man I just Nelly doesn't find out the hard way.

Otherwise, I'm fucked up for good.
