⚠️Don't be alarmed, but I've changed the name and modified the book description just a little bit. Everything in the story still remains the same, I just changed the cover and title, now it's a little more fitting. I'm gonna try to update this on the regular, so bear with me. Thanks for reading⚠️

Trey walks out of his office and back to the VIP lounge.

"You good?" Odell asks.

"Yeah. I'm good."

Odell looks up and happens to see Secret walk by the VIP lounge. "Tell me you didn't."

"Hell nah. That girl ain't gettin anything from me."

"So what she want?"

"Not a got damn thing. Where's Demi."

"Over there with Tori. You sure you good?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Imma go talk to Demi then I'll be over there with you and the fellas."

"Bet." They dap it up before going their separate ways. Trey walks over to Demi who's in the middle of a conversation, laughing and just having a good time. Trey admires her smile as he walks over.

"Hey beautiful." He says sitting next to her.

"Hey babe....Tori and I are gonna head out soon."

"How soon?"

"In the next 10 minutes or so."

"Why so early?"

"I'm already tired, and I miss the kids."

Trey smiles. "Okay, I'll call for the car and make sure it's waiting outside."

"Thank you." She says then gives him a kiss.

"I'll be back." Trey goes and calls for the car and waits out front until he sees it pull up. He goes back inside to get Demi from VIP, and walks her back outside. Tori trailing close behind them. "Text me and let me know you made it home safely."

"I will. Don't be out too late, okay?"

"I won't. Promise." They give each other a kiss goodbye then go their separate ways.

When Demi gets home, the kids are already in bed. She pays the babysitter before she leaves then goes upstairs to shower. After showering she gets in bed, but can't sleep. She waits up for Trey, who doesn't walk in the door till about 2am, which is an hour or two earlier than when he usually gets home.

-----------------

A month goes by, and it's finally time for Demi to head off to LA for her first project. She's nervous, yet excited. She's relieved to finally be able to get out of the house and start working and bringing in her own income. She loves her kids to death, but being a housewife and solely that, wasn't for her.

Everything was already packed, the car was outside waiting to take Demi to the airport and it was time for her to say goodbye to Trey and the kids.

"Ev, come downstairs." She called from the bottom of the staircase. Brooklyn and baby Trey were already downstairs with Demi and Trey as they were waiting for the car to arrive.

Everette slowly makes his way downstairs. "Do you have to go?"

"Yeah sweetie, I do. But it's only for a couple weeks."

"That's a long time." He says walking into her arms.

"I know it is. But I'm going to miss you so much. And I'll call you kids every morning before you go to school, every night before you go to bed, and I'll call in between those times to check on you kids."
