He Loves me, He Loves me not

Chapter 35

SIMONE P.O.V.

I walked back into my dressing room and changed. I picked up my bag and headed out the door to the parking lot. I walked out to my car, shaking a strange feeling of someone watching me. I got into the car and started up the engine. I tried to back out of my space, but I couldn't. "What the hell...?" I said in a whisper. I tried backing out again and I still couldn't. I heard a strange noise coming from the outside of the car. I grabbed my phone and hopped out. Since it was completely dark outside, I couldn't see a thing. I stood there for a second until I heard the noise again. It sounded like a slight hissing. I took my phone and shined the light on my tires. "Oh my god!" I shouted. I walked over to my passenger window and seen a note taped to the glass. "Getting Warm -Q." I read outloud. I dropped the note and stood there frozen.

AUGUST P.O.V.

"Aye this shit go hard!" I said listening to some of the beats Craig was playing for me. Craig nodded. "You like this one?" I nodded. "Hell yeah, I could use this one forreal mayne." Craig cut the music. "Good. I'll send you this one and-" His sentence was cut off from his phone ringing. "Hold on bra." I nodded. "Aye bae." I looked at him crazy and laughed. "Nah, Im helping August with some music right na, wassup?" Im guessin this female knew me, making me more intrested to know who she was. "Sure, you tryna come through??" Craig asked. I shot him a look, wondering why he would just invite some girl to my house. "Ight, I'll see you soon then." Craig hung up the phone and looked at me. "Nigga who was that female and why you invitin her over to my house? You got a house too you know." Craig chuckled. "Man chill, Im sure we fena be in the studio for awhile and besides, I figured you should know who I've been messin with." I smirked. "Who you been messin with?" I asked in a laugh.

Craig smiled. "Im not fena say wifed because it ain't there yet, but yeah. You and Simone made me want my own relationship." I laughed. "Yo ol' soft ass, but ight I see you, who is she? Apparently she knows who I am." Craig chuckled. "Ight look bra, be cool about this ight?" I furrowed my brows at him. "Why would I be trippin off yo girl?" Craig sighed. "Cause you kinda used to mess with her to." My brows shot all the way up. "What? Damn whoever she is, she smashing the homie." I shook my head and chuckled. "Aaaand, she works for you to." "Really nigga?" I said smiling. Craig nodded. "You know who im talking about right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Nah, I don't." I said looking down at my phone. Craig sucked his teeth. "Nigga stop playin, you know im talkin bout Valentina."

My head shot up fast as hell. "Valentina??" I said. Craig licked his lips and smiled. "Yeah." He said smoothly. "My image consultant, Valentina??" I asked confused. Craig nodded. "Yeah man damn, there's only one Valentina." I shook my head and looked back down at the phone. "Is something wrong with shawty?" Craig asked. I shook my head. "Nah mayne, I was just making sure we was talkin bout the same person." Craig nodded. "Oh ight good. She told me knows Simone too." I nodded. "Yeah, I got her to work with Simone on this store she fena open." "Forreal?" Craig asked. "That's wassup." I nodded again. "..Well uh, speaking of Simone..where she at? I ain't got a chance to see y'all together together yet." I chuckled.

"She at work mayne." I glanced down at my phone and checked the time. "She should be back in a few minutes." Craig nodded. All of a sudden there was a knock at the Studio door. "Come in!" I shouted. Brutus walked in and stood by the door. "A woman by the name of Valentina is at the gate, can she come in?" I sighed. "Yeah let her in man." Brutus nodded and walked out. I looked over at Craig, who was making faces and checking himself out in his phone reflection." I chuckled. "Nigga you ugly, give it up." Craig sucked his teeth. "Whatever man, im a chocolate god, you just mad cause you look like a played out version of chris brown, yo light skin ass." I laughed and shook my head. Craig was a trip.

"Aye you hear that?" Craig said listening. I frowned. "Nigga hear what?" I asked confused. "I hear heels coming towards us." I laughed. "Calm down mayne." I said in a laugh. "Ok, ok we gotta be cool, act natural!" Craig sat down in a weird ass pose and I busted out laughing. "That's natural??" I asked in a laugh. A few seconds later, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" I shouted again. I looked down at my phone, wondering why Simone ain't call me yet, I knew she was off by now. All my thoughts were interrupted by a voice. "Hello to you to August." I looked up from my phone to see Valentina sitting on Craig's lap, staring at me. I nodded. "Wassup." I said dryly. Craig looked at the both of us strangely. "Y'all actin like y'all don't work together." I chuckled. "Whatever nigga." "So where's Simone??" Valentina asked in a curious tone. I frowned. "..She's at work...why?" Valentina smiled. "Oh, I was just wondering..I have some things to discuss with her about the store." I nodded. "She should be here in a few minutes." Valentina smiled. "Thanks for letting me know." "Welcome..ight look ima go grab somethin to eat real quick, then we can listen to some more beats." Craig nodded. "Ight, take yo time man." He said looking up and down at Valentina's body. I shook my head and smiled. "Ight." I left out the room and headed to the kitchen.
