Fame Or Love🎙

Chapter 18:

Next Destination

"I watched him as he stood there with his eyes closed, as his head rested on the glass window." "I wanted to bring him some type of comfort, or at least try to cheer him up, but I was too "timid" that he would reject me, or even tell me to "mind my own business" so I instead, stood there in "silence" as the cool air continued to blow against my face."

Within a couple of minutes, Devon opened his eyes but remained silent.

"I hope you don't mind, "I needed to get some air so I came out here instead," I told him.

"Nah, you're good" he replied.

All that filled the air was silent.

"So Stevenson and Nakia seem to be getting pretty close," I said trying to break the silence between us.

"Yeah, so I've noticed" Devon responded.

So how is your friend?

Is he a decent person? I asked

"Define decent" Devon suggested decent as in a "decent human being" or decent as in is he's decent when it comes to knowing how to treat women right??? he asked

"Both," I told him

"Well, I've known him for quite a few years he isn't "out there."

"He doesn't jump from "woman to woman," he's more of a "laid back" type of guy.

"So, you won't have to worry about him hurting your friend" he reassured me.

"Good, cause she has been through a lot, and as her "best friend," I don't want any "guy" trying to cause her harm" I cautioned.

He nodded his head to let me know he understood where I was coming from.

I found myself staring at his "green eyes" trying to find answers to what I didn't know.

So what about you??? he asked without hesitating.

What do you mean?? I asked "oblivious" to what he was trying to ask me.

"I mean you told us back there that you've been cheating on" he reminded me.

Okay and?? I asked trying to see where this conversation was going

Are you still in love with him?? he asked me.

His words hit me I found myself wondering why he was asking me a question like that.

Are you still in love with Zahara?? I asked him.

"Yes, of course, she is my "first love," he told me.

I put my head down in disappointment.

"No, I'm not in love with him anymore."

"I'm not in love with anyone" I then replied.

You shouldn't let one person stop you from finding "true love" he said.

"There is probably someone out there who wants you to be with you, but they don't have the "chance" because you're allowing the hurt you have encountered with your ex, to stop you from having "true love, and happiness" he cautioned me.

"I'm not worried "primary focus" is on my passion right now than opposed to me being with someone, " I said.

"I'm really not trying to worry about being with someone, plus "true love" is hard to come across now days anyways" I reminded him.

"It's hard to find that one person, who will "love you, and accept you" for you."

"True, but true love finds you."

"Sometimes, love has to find you instead" he then told me.

"Yeah well, I guess if the time comes I'll know, but right now my focus is on other things," I said.

I didn't want to think about that especially after I had been cheated on. I was still dealing with the hurt. It would take time to go away I wanted to focus on my "career goals" instead.

"So is there any paperwork we will be required to fill out ??" I asked him about changing the subject.

"Yes, you can come to my building at 9:00 a.m to fill out the paperwork," he told me.

"Be there early."

"You have to take a tour guide of the faculty and learn the ins, and outs of the company as well."

"Stevenson will give you the directions on how to get there."

"Make sure you come dressed in the right attire" he instructed me.

"Stevenson will show you the "Famous Records" recording studio where all the sessions will take place, the modeling agency, my actual office, etc.

"On the first day, I'll have you do minor work, you'll be measuring all the models, who work at Famous Records as well."

"I'll have April, one of my other assistants, assist you."

"Matter of fact, I'll have you guys fill out the paperwork at my place right now."

"I have a business meeting tomorrow morning so I'll be pretty busy."

You want us to come to your place to sign the paperwork ???? I asked him to make sure I heard him correctly.

Yes, Gifted is that a problem??? he asked me about raising his eyebrow.

"Ummm no I stuttered, let me go inside to let Nakia know we will be heading over to your place," I told him.

"I'll be in the car waiting" he then said walking away.

"Holy crap," I thought to myself

" I can't believe we're about to visit his home."

I ran inside to let Nakia know what was happening...

As soon as I reached the table we were sitting at, all I heard was "giggles and laughter."

They were so busy enjoying each other's "company" neither Stevenson or Nakia noticed me standing there.

"Excuse me," I said clearing my throat to interrupt there little "one on one quality time" session. "

Devon Richardson, wants us to come to his place to fill out some paperwork" I told them.

Why would he make ya'll do it now?? Stevenson asked with concern

"He has a "business meeting" tomorrow so he wants to get the paperwork out of the way now so, that we can start tomorrow," I told him.

He nodded his head to let me know he understood. Nakia, Stevenson, and I then prepared ourselves to leave. After a couple of minutes, we all stepped outside.

Devon Richardson, came pulling up beside us.

Rolling down his window he instructed Stevenson to take me, and Nakia to one of his properties. Afterward, he drove off in his all "black 2017 Dodge Charger."

" We're going to his place," Nakia said with enthusiasm in her voice.

My heart was racing like crazy. We were going to Devon Richardson's place. This wasn't just anyone or any "guy" this was "Devon Richardson's" place

Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

Nakia turned the radio up as "Fake Love" by Drake pumped through the speakers was heard escaping the speakers as she sped off.

We drove to our next destination "Devon Richardson's place."
