The One You Wanna See

The Cross!

All of a sudden, a trapdoor gave way beneath our feet, we fell through and safely landed on the ground. As crazy as it sounds, we ended up in a secret room. Then I began to quiver.

"Prince," I said calling out his name as my body became numb from fear.

"I am here baby" He replied holding on to my waist tenderly from behind. Relieved I turned around to face him

"What just happened?" I asked trembling and feeling faint.

Prince traced his fingers on my face and said in a calm voice: "It's going to be OK. He is watching over us" I couldn't believe how tender he was.

"Did they just try to kill you? My God what about Nate, we have to go get him," I said in a panic as tears began flowing down my face!

"It's OK the men will be taken care of and Nate's okay. He said pulling me closer into his warm, soothing toned abs. Then he tenderly pushed my hair away from my face and wiped the tears from my eyes. He announced:

"Regardless of how much they try, baby, you and I will still be here. We will watch them fall, babe.

Now I must admit his words made me feel safe, protected and adored. No man can come close, not even the Prince.

"What do we do now?" I asked.

"We wait for the sign." He replied.

"What is this room?"

"My safety room, I designed the floor to give way to this space, I never had any reason to use it before today."

Music was never far away. Even in this room, his music "the cross" played ever so softly in the background soothing away whatever nerves I had. In what seemed like an eternity, Prince and I held on quietly awaiting word from his security.

Suddenly out of nowhere, we noticed Chuck frantically rushing towards us.

"Hey boss," he said. "we took care of them. We might have to cancel tonight's show."

"Did anyone else come?"

"Just Benton and the crew, they took care of them."

I began to wonder "who is Benton?" But I didn't ask I was still trembling from the fear of what occurred.

"I can guarantee you they won't be back, boss," He said motioning to Prince.

I heaved a sigh of relief; then I turned my gaze at Prince. He gave me a kiss on my lips and murmured: "See we watched them fall."

Relieved that the ordeal was over. I asked: "are there any more secret rooms?"

Prince smiles and says:

"Yes but none you need to worry about, Listen I want to show you something."

Prince leads me out the secret room behind Chuck. We walk into another room where Prince stops at a Big Vault door.

"This baby is the home of my children," He quietly said.

I looked at him confused:

"What do you mean?" I questioned. I began to wonder, did he have other children aside from Nate and are they in the vault?

He could sense my confusion because he smirked mischievously. He said:

"What you have in here are my songs over the years. They are my children."

Wow, how many?"

Over a thousand. I also have a completed rock opera.

What are you going to do with it?

I am going to release the songs someday, but they have to be in a cohesive collection Until that time comes they stay in the vault.

I nod my head as proceed along.

Are we going to cancel the party tonight

No, we are not. I am not going to let them run us out of town. Paisley is my home, and the bad boys are not going to change that. I am free, and I'm glad that I'm free. So we party tonight as planned they have to party goes on!

I looked up at Prince and asked: "are you sure about this?"

He nodded his head. I said:

"You should consider canceling the show. I am still shaken up by almost losing you; I don't think I can go to a show tonight."

"Hmm, I understand how you feel but if we do not go they going to think they got us besides will be safe we have extra security now."

Chuck tried reassuring me by saying: "they will not be back Madam."

But how can he be so sure?

"They will not be back; we can go on now." We continued our walk until we got into the relaxation room one of the many rooms at Paisley through another secret path.

I began to think:

"This is not the first time someone has tried hurting Prince, my gentle, tender and loving husband. I do not understand why he wouldn't just cancel the show tonight.

Chuck said: "Mel and Nate and Stacy at over at the mansion by Lake Minnetonka. Boss, if Madam wants, we can head over there."

"Yes, I want to see my son," I said to Chuck.

"well let's go over there, and we should be able to make it back in time for the party tonight.

For some reason, Prince assumed he could convince me but honestly speaking I would rather not. I made up my mind about this evening's show. Perhaps another show at a later date.

All I wanted was to hold my son in my arms and delete the events of the day from my mind. As soon as we got to the home by Lake Minnetonka, I ran inside and grabbed Nate. I sat on the rocking chair and began nursing him. Prince stood by the room door watching us. He smiled and said:

Perhaps you should stay in with him; a child needs his mother. I nod my head. Prince smiled some more. I looked up at him grateful I had devoted my life to him. Deep down inside, I wished he would just cancel but being the professional that he is he will not do so.

I watched as he took a step forward gave me a kiss, gave Nate a kiss as he nursed and said: " I will make a quick appearance and will be back home because tonight I think it is best I stay with my family."

A smile crept up on my face; I was relieved to hear those words from him. He smiled and left. An hour later with Nate asleep next to me in his crib. I decided to get some sleep. I crawled into the bed. That's when a text came through on my phone.

"Let's stop playing games; I want to see you. You want me as much as I want you."

I took in a deep breath. Why is he doing this? Oh, why is he doing this! No, No, No! Should I call him?
