After a few years have passed, Rihanna has been working more on her fashion then music. She recently released her Stance x Rihanna sock line that has been selling so well along with her sneaker line she created with Puma. She has been enjoying her t...
I listened to the dial for what seemed like forever. At this point, I was at a loss for words. He curved me like I was one of his side chicks or something. Tears were once again welling up in my eyes but I refused to break for this man. I refused to let my feelings get the best of me and change my mood. I had finished packing finally and I was ready to get back to Cali. Mel came upstairs to check on me before we went on our way to the airport.
"You good Ri?" She asked in her usual concern voice. I nodded without saying a word. She then proceeded to grab a couple of my bags before making her way out of the room. I soon followed after her by grabbing the rest of the luggae to put in the car. Mel and Jenna were all ready to go. My mother and the rest of the family decided to stay in the Barbados a little while longer. They enjoyed being here close to home rather than feeling home sick. Mel got in the car along with Jenna and they waited for me to come after I hugged everyone and said my goodbyes. It was a bitter sweet ending to my rather crazy off time but I had to get back to work.

I was still trying to stay strong in the moment. My mind felt like it was about to explode. I just wanted my baby back but he was acting so cold to me. I feel like I'm falling down into a bottomless hole that I won't be able to come out of anytime soon. I sighed to myself before getting into the car. Mel started the engine and everyone stood outside waving. We all waved back before she pulled off and headed down the road towards the airport.

After that walk around the city, I felt more than refreshed. I felt like a huge weight was being lifted off my shoulders as I made my way around. The loud noises, people's voices, and every other sound that comes with the city life just took my mind off things. I was ready to see Layla by now and I wa ssure she would be on her way to the studio by now. I smiled to myself but the whole phone situation between Rihanna and I not to long ago was still getting to me. I shook my head trying to snap out of it but once again, she was on my mind.

For some odd reason, I went back to the memory of us first meeting. When I first saw her, I was head over heels for that woman. She was beauttiful and the red hair she had around that time made her stand out even more. It was just another regular day for me to be at the local corner store not to far from the studio. I wasn't planning on meeting the love of my life there but she was there. Her radiant smile pulled me in even more and that's when I knew I had to get to know her. That was the best day ever for her and I. She's so sweet, loving and caring. I couldn't have asked for any other wonderful woman to come along because I was all about Rihanna and only Rihanna.
Although, after our first break up, she went with that Chris Brown niqqa. I mean, we was cool and all but things became awkward between him and I since he was dating my ex. I couldn't even stand to look at him or her the same. I felt betrayed but then again, she wasn't my girl at the time. I was just mad that she even dated him because he didn't seem right for her. I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head a bit. I need to focus back on getting to Layla, she's probably there and I didn't want to keep her waiting either. I walked a couple of blocks until I was finally back at the building. She was wiaitng for me outside.
"Drake! Hey love" She said as she hugged me. Her hug felt so warm and welcoming.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting" I said while pulling away from her a little bit. I heard a click that sounded like a camera from in the bushes.
"Guess that papparazzi work fast around here" She said with a laugh but I just shook my head and opened the door for her to walk in first. I then walked in after.
"They just never rest, they always want something to post up on the blogs" I said. She nodded in agreement.
"I understand how it's gets annoying after awhile but don't worry about it. You already know they are petty and looking for a quick buck to make"
"That's true" She smiled and rubbed my back a little. We took the stairs since my studio was on the second floor.
"It looks really nice in here" She said while gazing in awe once we arrived to the second floor.

"This is only a hallway Layla" I said laughing while taking out a key from my pocket and using it to unlock the door to the studio. " This is where the magic is made" I said as I opened the door and gestured for her to walk in first.
"Whoa! Drake!" She exclaimed in excitement. She threw her purse onto the couch by the door and immediately started to explore.
"Geez, don' t get lost in here Layla the explorer" I said while laughing to myself.
"I'm sorry it's just, your studio looks well put together" She said as she stared at the buttons on the recording and engineering board.
"Eh, it's something light that I'm renting right now. I working on putting one in my home soon, just a little bigger"
She then turned to look at me. We gazed into each other's eyes for a minute. I could feel the tension in the air as I locked the door. She stepped a little closer to me until our faces were inches away. I couldn't help grab her lightly and kiss her deeply.

The kiss was filled with so much tension and passion it reminded me of my first kiss with Rihanna. I was even imagining that Layla was Ri which made it weird for me. I had to pull away immediately. She looked at me like I was crazy and tried to come back for more but I refused. I was not in the right state of mind right now and I wasn't being fair to her.
"I'm sorry, i can't do this right now Layla" I said trying to keep a distance between us.
"Did I do something wrong?" She sounded so hurt by my rejection.
"No it's not you, it's me. I'm still trying to get over my ex and when I'm kissing you, I'm imagining I'm kissing her"
She just looked me with a surprised look on her face, she felt so odd after I had said that.
"Its.....ok. I understand, you need some time to yourself. Call me when you feel better ok" Layla was getting ready to leave but I grabbed her hand.
"No don't leave, my mind is just fucking with me right now. I really do like you Layla" She turned around to look at me and she smiled.
"Really?" She gave me a small hug.
"Yes, I'm liking your vibe and you just make me feel better. You make me want to forget about my ex once and for all" So I thought to myself.
