"So what do y'all think?" I asked Kayla, Juno, Christan, and Briana. Juno and I were finally home after such a long time away.

"I mean, you're so young." Christan said. We were all in my room eating, talking, and doing each others nails and hair. We were catching up on everything that has happened in the last few months. "You don't want a child."

"But...I love him so much." I said.

"Yeah. We know, but you shouldn't just do it because he wants to. How do you feel about it?" Briana asked.

"I want to because he wants to and because I want to and because I'm the only one who hadn't." I said as I bit my lip.

"I don't think so, Artty. I mean, just because he wants to and your friends have done it isn't very good reason. You should do it because you feel comfortable." Kayla adviced. She was doing her toes.

I just sighed as I thought about Prince's upcoming eighteen birthday. Juno, Isis, Brittany, Jari, and I were going back to L.A for his birthday and I wanted to give him a gift to remember-- I want to make love to him, but I don't know.

"I'm just so..hesitant and I don't know why. I love him so much, but I don't know if it's the right time." I sighed. "But I want to do it so bad."

"Is Prince okay with waiting?" Christan asked as Juno finished up her nails.

"Of course! He doesn't mind waiting." I answered.

"Then keep it up. Don't just give it up because you feel like you should." Briana said. "Once it's gone, it's gone."

"But Bri, y'all don't understand. On my birthday Prince was in my hotel room with just his boxers on. You don't know how bad I wanted to, but something just said, "No don't do it". I'm ready. My heart is saying yes and my head is telling me no." I sighed.

"Listen to your heart then." Kayla said.

"Yeah. I think you should listen to your heart. You don't wanna regret anything." Juno said softly.

"When did you plan to do it?" Briana asked as Juno started on her nails.

"His birthday. I thought he would really remember his eighteenth birthday that way." I smiled.

"Yeah. I think he would." Juno laughed.

"Don't you find it weird sometimes that he's three years older?" Kayla asked.

"Yeah, but he doesn't care and I don't either. Love has no age. I mean, why is it so wrong for a fourteen year old and a seventeen year to be together, but okay for a twenty-eight year old and a sixty-eight year old to be together?" I answered as I looked through my Instagram.

"You have a point, but then again because they grown and you are still a child." Christan said. Briana nodded.

"I'm a child that has a famous boyfriend, that has been all over the year in less than a year, travels all the time, and is famous herself. Sometimes it's hard to say I'm still a child. Even Juno. She has a boyfriend three years older." I said.

"I forgot about Jacob." Briana raised an eyebrow. "He treating you right?"

"Of course. Jacob is the sweetest, kindest person I've ever met. He loves me and I love him. We just fit together. Sometimes we're more of best friends than boyfriend and girlfriend." Juno answered with a smile.
