(skipping ahead. you'll see why.)

no matter what you say or what you do

when i'm alone, i'd rather be with you

fuck these other niggas, i'll be right by your side

til 3005

hold up

"wait, hold on! cut that up!" i hear naomi say as i start turning the volume up before he even said anything.

all of a sudden, i feel naomi hitting me on my arm repeatedly and jumping up and down like she had to go pee or something. "that's you! that's you! they're playing your song on the radio!"

she keeps on hitting me and grabbing me as i laughed and grabbed her hand and held it.

i swear, naomi does the cutest shit when she's excited or happy. her whole face just lights up, and it makes mine do the same. fuck. she has that effect on me. i'm not complaining though.

"i can see that, babe." i say, trying not to get all excited. i was a very chill person, and didn't like getting overly excited and shit. but it was hard holding it in when you heard your own voice being broadcasted across the world.

it had been 2 months since i finished the album. it had been selling pretty good and now they were playing my music, my voice, on the radio. it was surreal.

it took me 2 months, but i finally convinced naomi to be on a track with me. it was very last minute, but it was worth it. i wish she would get signed to the same label as me, she's really good at writing lyrics. i know she can be something one day. i wish i could get her to believe that.

"aren't you excited? they're playing my baby on the radio!" she sounded like my mom.

"of course i am. it's amazing, i can't believe it." i say, smiling to myself. i felt naomi grab my hand and lean her head on my shoulder.

"i'm so proud of you." she says, squeezing my hand. "i love you."

"i love you too."

- a few hours later, at donald's place -

i pull into the driveway, cutting the car off. i look over at naomi, watching her get out. i smile to myself. that's all me & all mine.

as she starts walking towards the door, I catch up with her, unlocking the door.

we both walk in, immediately getting cheers from namiko and marcus.

chance wasn't in the room. he probably was in the back playing games.

"heard the song man! can't believe it's happening." marcus says, patting me on the back.

"me either." i say, chuckling. i wrap my arm around naomi, immediately earning a smile from her. she was literally my number one fan if i didn't have anyone else.

i hear a yawn from naomi. "i'm so tired. it's been a long day." she says, leaning up to me and pecking my cheek. "i'm gonna go and take a shower."

"without me?" i whispered, laughing at naomi's expression and grabbing ahold of her hand as she was walking.

"in your dreams, baby." she smiles while shaking her head and walking off.
