The One You Wanna See

Prince: 7 Take me with you because this could be us

I looked up and couldn't believe who was standing right in front of us. Prince and I stumbled as we rose to our feet.

"Mr. President."

"Well well well nice of you to join us," Our President replied. "I am big fan of yours!"

I felt terrible like I had caused this.

Prince beamed and said "Yes Sir" as Chuck two behind us to study else steps. The president shook our hands then walked away; he found it amusing.

The next thing you know mom walks in with Rick, and she looked at me bewildered, she said, "Alex!! What are you doing?"

Drunk out of my mind I responded: "Nothing mother, nothing you're not doing!"

Rick stares at Prince.

He said:

"Now Prince I expected more from you than this! Why you want to mess this up?" Prince did not respond. Instead, he made his way into the ballroom while holding onto my hand and urging me not to say a word to anybody.

I couldn't help but giggle.

I might be drunk but happy because I am still with the man that I love deeply. Then I began to wonder, could he love me the same?

Could he love only me? I know I love him and want to be with only him, but each time, my insecurities about myself and our relationship find me being pushed subconsciously into the arms of another man.

The lady next to us on my side said:

"You two need to get it together because this he said pointing the finger at us is not going to work."

So I turned to her and asked:

"What do you mean by this is not going to work? and who are you to tell us what's going to work or not!"

Prince grinned, he liked me feisty, and this time around I will not take nonsense from anyone!

The award show soon began. I still couldn't help but chuckle at the antics of some of the award winners.

Then the time came for Prince to accept his award, he looked quite moody. I felt bad. Maybe I should have stayed home.

I smiled and urged him to go ahead; this is his night!

"Pick up the award," I said.

Reluctantly, he grabbed onto my hand and walked with his band to the stage. The audience stood up clapping! A female voice yelled: "I love you!"

"Thank you! First of all, I like to say thank God, because my creativity comes from God, ! he said as we got on the stage

"Mr. President for being an inspiration to all of us and for being cool, my band, this award means a lot especially in these tough times, I thank my father, my mother, the Bible, and music. I am here with my wife, Athena."

I smiled holding steady to his hand as the audience roared.

That night following the award show back at the hotel, exhausted Prince and I held on to each other.

Prince said to me:

"I hear drums not ravel; it's a spirit of Funk and Rock and Roll within me just like James Brown and all who have come before me." Then he continued:

"And when I hear the sound I have to write it out," he said suddenly rising to his feet and standing in front of the mirror. I looked at him worried: 'Is everything okay love?"

He turned, smirked mischievously and smiled. Then he turned around looked into the mirror and wrote the word, Cream with my lipstick, then the words of a new song "Take me with you baby" I was amazed, feeling the music as he sang out the words. I quickly got on my knees on the bed, picked up my cell phone pressed record as he sang.
