Love Don't Change

Chapter 25

I arrive at my rehearsals and I see Nolen inside, dancing with the beat were singing to.

I walk inside and Nolen notices me. "Hey ma'," he says giving me a huge hug. "Hey," I reply putting my stuff down. "Lets get started. Since we haven't even made the song yet, we're gonna just dance to the beat Jermaine gave us," I say. Nolen nods his head.

20 minutes later...

"5,6,7,8."

Nolen and I start to redoing the moves we made up. "Mmh," I say while humming what I what to sing on the song.

After we finished practice, we sit down and chill out for a minute. "I'm tired as hell," Nolen says. "Me too. It's almost 6," I say. "Shit, man. If we have to do this everyday, I'ma just have to commit suicide," Nolen says. I look over at him. "Nigga what?" I say. He laughs. "I'm just playing," he says getting up from the floor. "I think we end here," I insist, standing up as well. "I'm with you on that," Nolen says. I grab my stuff. "It was nice to work with a multi-millionare. You're seriously the best," Nolen says. "Stop gassing me Nolen. It wasn't easy. I started out just like you, working at local places," I say. "You're a good ass singer. All you gotta do is focus," I tell him. He nods and smiles. "You're too good to me ma'," Nolen says with a big grin on his face. "Yeah, wherever. I gotta go," I tell him. We hug and I exit the building.

When I arrive at home, I see another car parked on my driveway. "Who the fuck is that?" I say. I immediately get out the car. I walk inside and I see Keith's mom in the living room watching T.V. "Hey Mrs. Jennifer, what you doing here?" I ask her. "Keith went out somewhere and he called me to watch KJ," she responds. I nod my head. "Well, call me if you need something," I say going upstairs. While I'm walking upstairs, my phone rings. I look to see Nina calling me. I answer the phone.

"Hey girl," I say.

"Bitch, you won't believe this. I see Keith at Ace of Diamonds and guess who he tipping," Nina says.

"Who?" I ask.

"Jasmine," she replies.

"Jasmine? You mean baby momma Jasmine?" I ask her, making sure I don't get the wrong Jasmine.

"Yes bitch," she says.

"Say no more," I say. 

I hang up the phone and race downstairs. "I gotta handle some business Mrs. Jennifer. I'll be back," I shout, running out the door, not giving her a chance to respond.
