Peace and Prosperity [Book 2]

eleven.

Kameron

I haven't got much time with Harley because Bryson has been trying to get as much 'Daddy Daughter' time as possible. I'm not tripping though. We were sitting on the couch and he was bouncing Harley up and down. His phone rang and sat her in his lap then answered.

"Yo." He was quiet then he looked at his watch and then at me.

"Yeah, give me like 10 minutes." He hung up the phone and stood up. I tilted my head at him and he handed me Harley.

"What's up? Where you going?"

"To the studio. Lani wants me to help her finish her song while she's in town"  I smiled and nodded

"Alright, I love you" He kissed my lips.

"I love you too baby" He put his hat on and grabbed his keys before walking out the door.

I played with babygirl until she got sleepy on me. I watched Netflix while she slept in my arms. I watched a few movies and I checked the clock to see it was 6:31. I put Harley in her small rocker. I sat it on the counter where I could see her. I started cook shrimp alfredo. I put the breadsticks in the oven and waited for them to finish.

I watched Harley sleep like an angel in her rocker. As soon as I pulled the food out she began to cry and I already had a bottle made so I popped it in the microwave and fed her. I sat her back in the rocker and made mine and Bryson's plates. I sat his in the microwave since he wasn't home.

I made faces at Harley while I ate and she giggled uncontrollably. After I finished I took her upstairs to my bathroom and gave her a bath in out sink. I put baby lotion on her and dressed her for bed. I put her in the crib and sung her a lullaby my mom used to sing to my little sister.

I walked back in my room and looked at the clock. It was 8:30. I wanted to take a shower but no one was watching Harley. I rolled her crib into my room and turned on the baby monitor. I got in the shower and left the door open.

Bryson

I walked in the studio and gave Kehlani a hug.

"Hey Bry, thank you for coming" I smiled and sat down

"So let me hear what you have." She pressed play on the track.

(Don't let it go, let it go)
( Don't let it slip away)
Every man wants a queen
Like Jada in her prime
1990s fine
Gotta match his fly
Like something from a dream
Or a movie script
When you kiss her lips she feel something like this
All of a sudden music's playin' in the background.
Not just any music, talkin' Mr. soul child
Sparks will fly when lips first touch
All of these doubts get left in the dust
Heat of the moment so no room to judge, no room to judge

So tonight you should go and take a chance with her
She could be everything you wanted
Everything you wanted boy
Don't let that get away
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape
Don't let that get, don't let that get away, don't let that
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape
Don't let that get away
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape

The music continued playing but there were no lyrics. She turned around and bit lip.

"So what do you think?"

"It's great, do you have in mind what you wanna say next?" She cleared her throat and started singing

"I always wondered 'bout why you let me go?
Why you let walk, up on out that door." She looked around before putting her palm on her forehead. "Ughhh! I'm stuck as fuck Bry."

I laughed at her a little then stood up and walked over to where she was sitting. I rubbed my beard then looked up at her.

"We just went out drinks
Then you took me home
Walked me to my porch
Where you turned me on" She gave me a cheeky smile and hummed along with me.

"That night you told me that you heard it in the background
Not just any music, talking Mr. soul child
Said you was scared to come fuck with me
Cause you see I'm chasing dreams
But that don't mean that I don't need nobody" She smiled again and playfully pushed my arm.

"I think you should bring the hook back in right there and then end it." She nodded and walked in the small both. She gave me a thumbs up signaling that she was ready. When she started singing I could just feel how passionate she was about this song. After she finished she walked out and I gave her smirk.

"What?" I tilted my head and gave her a 'really nigga face'. She leaned on the side of the couch.

"Who is it about Lani? I'm not stupid. I know you girl" She laughed and then looked at me with all seriousness

"There's this boy. I been feeling him for a while but he just... doesn't see me that way. I try and give him hints but he doesn't get it. My feelings for him are so deep..." She drifted off

"Lani, you can have any man you want. Fuck him" She smiled a little.

"Thanks Bry" I put out my fist and she bumped it.

"Aye! I hungry, you want some pizza?" She nodded and I ordered us a pizza. After we ate we sat and talked about everything but nothing in particular. I ended up drifting off to sleep. When I woke up Kehlani was sitting on the floor in front of the couch. She had her back against the couch and was scrolling down Instagram on her phone. It was very little light and there was music playing lowly.

She was humming lyrics to "Show Me" by Alina Baraz. She had put her hair up in a little bun and she was slightly swaying. I stretched and I guess she heard me and turned around.

"Did I wake you? I'm sorry. I just really like this song" I chuckled and put my hat back on.

"Nah, you good. I didn't even realize I had drifted off" She laughed. I looked down at my watch and it read 10:42. I sighed and wiped my hand over my face. "I didn't know it was so late. I gotta go." She stood up and hugged me. As I walked to the door I heard her call my name.

"Hey Bry!"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for helping. You were the only person that answered" I smiled and flashed a smile

"Anything for a friend. Call me if you need anything okay?" She nodded and I walked out.

When I walked in Kameron was rocking Harley while holding the bottle to her mouth. Her favorite movie "ATL" flashed across the tv. I thought she was gonna explode on me but she was unusually calm.

"How'd it go?"

"Uh good. We finished the song." She nodded

"What's it called?"

"Get away. She said she wants to put the finishing touches on it before she drops it." She smiled

"Well, I'm patiently waiting. You know I love her" I nodded

"Here, let me take her upstairs" She handed me the empty bottle then handed me Harley. I put her in the crib and grabbed the baby monitor and went back downstairs to join Kameron. I took my shirt off and tossed it in the bedroom first. I sat on the couch and she cuddled up in my arms.

We watched the movie and she fell asleep so I carried her upstairs and put her in bed. I laid down beside her and she whispered something but I couldn't quite hear her.

"Kameron?"

"You just want to hear my voice... I know" I kissed her cheek

"I love you"

"I love you more baby"

Thank you so much God for blessing me with Kameron and Harley
