I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it. I stood there nervously as I heard the locks click. I looked down to see her son open the door.
"Hey is yo mama home?" I asked.
"Eric, what did I tell you about-" She stopped in her tracks once she got to the door. "Go to your room." She said pushing him behind her.
"Mariah."
"Dave. What are ? How?"
"You mind if we come in? My friend is in the car" I asked
"I guess so." She opened the door wider. I motioned for Eva to get out the car and she did so.
"Hey, Im Eva." She stuck her hand out and Mariah shook it. We went inside and she took a closed the door.
"You guys can have a seat. Eva would you like anything to drink?" She asked as we sat on the couch.
"No thanks."
"Its been what? 10 years?" I said starting the conversation.
"Yeah." She shook her head. "I just want to know why you're here. I thought I made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with you as long as you lived that life. And from the looks you still do."
"Look Mariah. I promise i'm done with that part of my life. I came here because Im getting my life together. For my family and my future."
"How do I know it's true?"
"You don't. All you can do is trust me. I want to be there for you, my niece, and nephew. Y'all all I got."
"I really hope you're telling me the truth."She said before sighing. "If I'd known you was coming. I would have went grocery shopping for dinner."
"No. Actually I want to take everyone out for dinner." Eva said cutting in.
"No, I'll go to the store." Mariah refused.
"Please." Eva chuckled. "I insist."
"Okay." She agreed.
"Ight. We gone head to the hotel and get some rest." I said before getting up. I hugged her and said goodbyes.
I got into the passengers seat of Eva's car and she pulled off.
"How you think it went?" I asked.
"I think it went really well. She just needs time to come around and get to know the new you." She answered paying attention to the road.
"I guess so."

I kicked off my shoes and laid on the bed. We had a double suite. Meaning two king size beds right next to another."Yo its amazing how much you sleep and eat." Dave joked sitting on his bed.
"Don't be a hater." I responded getting comfortable.
"Well take yo nap. Im finna hit up this gym around the corner then shower."
"Okay."

I was sitting in a meeting with my manager and people from the label."We need something new from you. We've been asking for months and you have yet to deliver."
"I been on some of the hottest tracks this year." I responded.
"We want music from you. Not features. You have a week to produce us something." They said before getting up and walking out. I looked at my manager frustrated.
