Diamonds and Pearls [PAUSED]

(IV) Sumthin' Sumthin'

Khristina's Point of View

I rush home to my little apartment and I grab all of my clothes and pack them into one big suitcase neatly then I try to zip up the suitcase and it's stuck.

"Great just fucking great," I state sarcastically. I pull back the zipper and try to zip it up again and it zips up.

"Thank God," I sighed out of relief and then I sat on top of my suitcase waiting on the clock to say 3:30am because that's when I'm suppose to leave.

It's 2am and I do have some phone calls to make. I'll call my grandma first even though she's asleep.

Me and my grandmother are extremely close and she means the world to me.

But I don't know how she's gonna feel when I tell her I'm going on tour with Prince.

I dial up her number and wait for her to pick up the phone.

"Hello," my answers in sleepy voice. "Grandma, it's me Khristina I wanna talk to you about something very important," I respond.

"Hey babygirl what do you need," she asked. "Brace yourself....this is so important to me," I respond. "Girl just tell me already I don't wanna wake up my husband," she states impatiently.

"I auditioned for Prince earlier and he liked me and asked me to dance on stage with him and he wants me to go on tour with him," I respond swiftly.

"Wait just a damn minute...you WHAT," my grandma shouted into the phone and I got nervous all over again.

"Prince want me to tour with him," I state shakily. My hands begin shake while I wait for her response.

"Oh babygirl I'm so happy for you! I'm glad this has happened," my grandma replied happily. All of my worries went away.

"Oh my god thank you so much! I was so worried you might flip out on me," I sighed in relief and put my hand over my heart.

"No problem babygirl I'm so proud of you sweetie. Just be safe and don't be stupid alright," my grandma responded.

"Alright I love you," I chuckled.

"I love you too babygirl" my grandma responded then hung up.

I hang up the phone and look over at the clock and it's 3:20am. So I get my luggage and get my car keys and turn off everything in my apartment.

I walk out to my car and pop open the the trunk and put my luggage in then closed it. Then I got in the car.

I know my mother would be so proud of me right now I can feel her smiling down on me now.

I wipe a tear from my eye and start up my car and drive off to the place Prince told me to meet him at.

20 minutes later, I arrive at the place and it's the airport and I'm at the very back.

I see a private jet so I know it belongs to Prince so I park my car then get out and grab my luggage.

When I walk up towards the jet I see the members of the NPG standing there including Rosie.

Rosie walks towards me and says "Hey Khristina we've been waiting on you."

"Oh I'm sorry if I made y'all wait so long I was talking to somebody important," I replied nervously.

"Don't apologize girl it's all good. Prince is on the jet now he's waiting for you," Rosie states.

"Oh really. I guess I'll go then," I replied anxiously.

"Why are you so nervous your hands are shaking," Rosie became concerned.

"Just a little nervous that's all," I responded.

"Don't be he's cool. And just to warn you when we get newcomers he tests them," Rosie warns.

"What is that suppose to mean," I ask while calming myself down.

"That means he got something in store for you but that's all I can say," Rosie exclaims

"Well thanks for telling me Rosie," I respond and grab my luggage and walk towards the jet.

I take a deep breathe and enter the private jet and it's beautiful. It's small but the seats are Velvet and the atmosphere is very chill.

"I'm glad you made it here safely," Prince states in his deep sultry voice.

"Um thanks I'm really thankful you have me this opportunity to do this I'm grateful," I admitted.

"Thank yourself babygirl you're the one with the talent," Prince responded while looking into my eyes.

I begin to blush ferociously and look down, and then he walks towards me causing me to blush even more.

He leans in and whispers into my ear "Let me show you to your seat miss Khristina."

He grabs my hand and takes me to the very back of the jet and there's a little room back there.

He leads me into the room and there's two seats in there, a blue light illuminating, and a little television.

Well damn I didn't know you could have rooms in a private jet.

"Well take a seat," he states snapping me out of my thoughts. I sit down in one of the seats and trying to take in everything.

"So Khristina how are you feeling right now," he asks.

"I'm a little nervous that's all," I respond.

"Babygirl there's no need to get nervous around me. Don't be scared I won't bite," he responds.

Then right after saying that he leans in towards me and his face is inches from mine.

I begin to blush again and he looks into my eyes then whisper

"Trust me Khristina I'll never hurt you."

And then his sweet warm lips come in contact with mine.
