The Trilogy [completed]

Daddy(25)

Looking over this scrap books of different sketches this young guy sat patiently. I'm looking for someone to colab with for the first clothing line to go with my shoe line. Again just like my shoes I'm looking for some dope shit and then some super dope shit. I've met with a total of ten people today and to be honest none of them really have what I'm looking for but this kid here. It's looking bright for him.

"How old did you say you are?" I asked looking up quickly then went on looking at the book.

"I just turned 17."

"Ight how long you been doing these sketches?"

"Not long. My first thing was basketball but I had a injury that had me out the season for a hot minute so I took up a interest in clothing. I wanna be like the next something maybe Swizz Beats or Jay-Z."

"You do music?"

"Yeah it's my passion next to designing."

"Why you not down at the interscope or def jams what you doing here nigga?" I close the book since I was done with it.

"You gotta start with something. No one is really giving me any play so I thought I'd try with this dream to make another come true." I noticed his chest moving slow but his hands shaking.

"You nervous man?" I stand going to the little bar station pouring him a glass of water. "Relax I ain't mean or nothing like."

"I know man but you huge and in such a small amount of time. A deal with Nike and a shop collaboration with Chris Washington. That's where I'm trynna be."

Nodding I take my seat again. "I like your stuff and your story that you getting yourself out there. The hunger is real and I think I can help you get to where you trynna be."

"Yo forreal that's would be the cruelest joke ever right now." He stood.

"Nah I'm serious I don't plan about business I've learned a lot in the short time I've been around. I'll set up a meeting for us with a few of the bigger people then we can really talk money and getting shit started."

"Holy shit! Yo my momma gonna flip ha I can't believe this thank you thank you so much I promise I will work hard with this and not disappoint you!"

I went over thinking I was getting a handshake but he pulled me into a tight as hug. Shocked was I yes very but I let it be. I showed him out then went over a few things before leaving. I sent wifey a text earlier but she still hasn't responded. I dialed her up in the Bluetooth waiting to hear that voice.

"Hey baby I'm just pulling up to the house. I call back when I've brought in all the groceries." She quickly says.

"Nah I'm in my way I'll just talk to you then."

"Ok baby I'll see you in a few."

We said our goodbye and I start blasting my music all the way home. Pulling up she was just closing the door. I got in setting my keys in our little bowl on the side of the door.

"Dada! Dada!" Elias came crawling from the kitchen fast as hell.

"What's up speed demon?" Picking him up he smiled pinching my cheeks. "Baby!"

"Kitchen!" She was going from here and there putting things away. "Hi baby."

"What's good momma?" Kissing her quickly I sit at the table with my son. "What y'all do today?"

"Well after I went putting some applications in a few places we just had a little mommy and son day." She started leaving out things for dinner.

"Why you putting in job applications I thought you wanted to do the clothing line."
