Riches to Rags (Completed)

.7.

Walking into the house was a little different than normal. Usually  there would be some type of noise either the nagging of my mother, or someone from my team talking to me. But today that wasn't the case. I just wanted some time alone without all the noise and commotion. I told just about everybody to go home  since I didn't wanna be bothered.

After changing into my silk pink pajamas. I walked into my kitchen opening my stainless steal  three part refrigerator grabbing the carton of triple Chunk moose track Ice Cream from the freezer. Sitting on the couch as I began to play the recording of the show Rebel as the rain hit against the window.

"Ight Zariah, I just checked to make sure everything was locked and paparazzi proofed." Tre spoke.

"Thank you." I said, giving him a fake smile.

"Yep." He nodded, blowing air into his cheek looking around the room. "Well have a good night Z." Tre said as he began to walk toward  the hall for  front door.

"You too." I said softly licking the Ice Cream off the spoon as I stood to my feet walking toward the front door.

I leaned against the wall folding my arm across my chest as he grabbed his coat from the rack. I bit at my lip twisting it to the side. "Can you - " "do you need me to stay?" We spoke at the same time making each other laugh.

"Can you stay... just for a little while, I'll pay you for the over time." I shrugged looking into his eyes as he looked down into mine.

"Yea, I can stay you don't have to worry about the over time. But I mean if you feel it in yo heart to do it then I won't stop you.." He said as I laughed a little.

"Well I guess we'll see then." I said walking back toward the couch plopping down grabbing the carton of Icecream.

"You know laying down and eating is how you gain weight...not saying you big or anything just stating facts."

"Mhm." I said giving him the side eye as I placed another spoonful into my mouth.

"Don't get me wrong your perfect..for your size and stuff." He said.

"Oh so you a doctor or something?" I laughed.

"Nah, I just work out a lot and get my body in shape, working out also help me to blow off steam."

"Well maybe I need to, I have a lot of steam to blow off." I joked.

"Yeah maybe we can work out together or something I mean when I'm not working..
"whenever that is" he mumbled.

"I'm joking." He laughed as he caught the pillow.

"Whatever Trevanté." I smirked as his face became serious.

"What you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good." Silence filled the room beside the rain and thunder.

"So Do you think I was wrong? For ya know kicking my mom out like that?" I asked, watching as he sat forward with his legs apart as he gave me his full attention.

"Honestly Nah Not really."

"I'm just sick and tired of her trying to run me. I'm tired of her trying to tell me what to do along with million of other people putting in there input about my life. Tired of people trying to live my life. I'm not happy with this life anymore I'm not living my life I'm living everyone's life. Not once in the time I've been doing this has anyone asked me about me. Interviews they ask how I'm doing but not how do I feel if they did I would tell the truth on how I feel."

"I just want a normal life No cameras no signing autographs no paparazzi just to be a normal young woman that it that's all I want. I waited for his reaction which would probably be a laugh.

"Well Zariah,if that's what you wanna do, then I'd say go for it what's stopping you? Your mother that's just your mother she's grown and you're grown if you wanna do something then do it what can your mother do about it? Make yo own decision just make sure this is the right decision and it's something you really wanna do."

I just wanted to jump on him and hug him for his response but I kept my cool. "I appreciate you staying with me tho." I smiled.

"It's no problem at all." He smiled standing to his feet I stood to my feet walking him to the door.

"You sure you gonna be alright in this big ass house all by yourself."

You can stay the night if you want to I thought to myself "Wow thanks for reminding me." I mugged. "I'll probably lock Myself in my room." I chuckled.

"Becareful." I yelled out as he walked out in the rain.

"Alright I will, I'll text you when I get home to check on you."

"Okay." I waved.

"Oh yeah" he said snapping his finger as he turned around. "I almost forgot my homeboy having a Little  kick back  Saturday night around 8 just family and friends. If your not busy maybe you can come with me?"

"I would love to come but Keith already invited me to his party Saturday."

"Oh alright maybe next time, see you tomorrow." He nodded getting inside his car driving off.
