A Stronger Love (Jacquees) [Discontinued]

Finding Home

LaToya's Point of View ~ Saturday, 10:54am

As the plane came to a stop, I unbuckled my seatbelt and stood with my Chanel bag at hand. I slipped my phone into it and waited for the door to be open. Once it did, I waved to my in-flight staff and the pilot before making my way down the steps. Finally, a breather. After a prolonged series of events, I was finally home but it wasn't quite resting time as yet. Elle said she wanted to go with me to the new house so we can take a look at it and I had no problem with that. I told her I'd pick her up once I landed.

Walking over to my lunar blue metallic, Mercedes Benz E330, one of the members of my security team threw me the keys and I got in, buckling up. I sat down for a minute, feeling the a/c hit me. I missed driving my ATL baby. With a smirk, I started driving with them not too far behind me. Out on the streets of Atlanta, I slowed down at a red light and shot Elle a text, letting her know that I was on my way. Locking my phone, I switched the radio station and stopped once I heard 1Night by Lil Yachty. I bobbed my head to it as I continued my drive to Elle's townhouse.

I parked next to her Range Rover Evoque and hopped out, locking my car. I walked over to the door and it opened almost immediately revealing Brian fully dressed. I grinned from ear to ear and picked him up, repeatedly kissing his cheek. He clung to me as I stepped inside and shut the door, locking it. "How have you been, B? You're behaving for your mommy, right?" He nodded quickly, still clinging to me as I made my way upstairs. Inside the master bedroom, Elle sat slipping her feet into her shoes. "Hey, boo."

She looked up at me and smiled, "Thanks a lot, B. I wanted the first hug." Laughing, I set him down on the bed and hugged her. "How are you? How was New York? Enjoyed the dinner?"

I sat in the recliner and crossed my legs, "I'm pretty good and New York was fine. The dinner was great. I'm sure you've seen on IG that Deja is engaged now."

She grinned, "Yes, girl! I saw it! I messaged her as soon as I saw it. I'm so happy for her. Now I'm just waiting for my Mr. Right to come and sweep me off of my feet."

I squinted at her, "You into the Cinderella stuff, huh?"

She threw a pillow at me but I caught it, sticking my tongue out at her. She rolled her eyes, standing and going into the closet. "You excited about the new place?"

I blew out a breath, "You have no idea. I've kind of reached a settling point in my career now that the company is giving me my own label."

She came flying out of the closet with her Gucci bag at hands, "Excuse me? Run that by me again."

I laughed, "Yeah, you're the first to know. I received the email last night while I was packing. They haven't made it public yet but by the end of September, they will."

She screamed through her teeth before basically pouncing on me and engulfing me in a hug, "Oh my God! Congratulations! That is amazing, Toya! How can you not be freaking out, right now? You're basically legendary and you haven't even reached mid-thirties yet!" I laughed and shook my head.
