The One You Wanna See

Always on the run!

I turned around my hands dropped to the side, I stare into Prince's hazel eyes, worried.

"So darling..." he began.

"Yes...." I responded, my legs felt like jelly.

"You are music, please remember that sweetie, you are my inspiration, ultimately drawn to you. I wrote a song for you?" Prince said reading the text out loud. I wanted the floor to open up and bury me.

He smirked, rubbed his nose with a finger and said:" Hmm sounds like you created quite an impression on Slash."

"It's not...."

"Hmm what I think, its cool....just like the time in the hotel?"

My eyes widened.

"Yes..." he said staring deep into my eyes. "I knew all about it. More than you know."

"Oh... please..."

"Hmm, he said giving me a kiss on the forehead. "We have a charity to plan the contest is soon." He said not wanting to continue the conversation any longer. He took stoic steps to the front door, handing the phone back to me as he did so.

" Heading over to Paisley got to check on some last minute items for tomorrow's contest. Will Pick have Henry pick you up in the morning? Oh and Mel will bring Nate over to Paisley tonight, is that okay with you?"

I couldn't believe he was asking me; I wish we could conclude the question of Slash.

"It's okay Prince said smiling. "You are a beautiful woman, but remember God created you for me." Before I could respond, he was out the door. Wow! I reasoned, he was not that upset after all.

Prince's surprisingly calm demeanor was all too much to handle. I made my way towards Nate's room held him in my hands. I want to stay with Prince, but I wish he would open up to me some more. I wish I did not have doubts in the back of my mind about Alicia.

"Mama....luv you," Nate cooed looking into my eyes. I kissed his forehead and said, "Love you too honey, going to over play with daddy tonight." I smiled rocking with him. Then I picked up a book and read it to him. Exhausted, we both fell asleep.

An hour or so later, Mel came into the room "Sorry to interrupt Ma'am, but the boss called to see if we are on the way."

"Of course, I said handing Nate over to Mel.

She said "It's okay Ma'am Nate is fine when he is over at Paisley with his dad, they have fun together. I think you both created a genius, Nate loves music." I patted Mel on the shoulders and said "Thanks for letting me know."

"Oh and if you ever need someone to talk to, I am available."

I nodded realizing as much as I love my husband, I needed more out of life.

"Hmmm just one more thing," she said before leaving the room. "I ,must tell you.

your cousin is lying.... she did not sleep with the boss. I heard her say she was going to cause trouble. It was one night, the wardrobe lady at Paisley told me she requested to borrow the bosses shoes and some clothes."

Oh?

"Yes and not only that but .....em she has been over at Paisley quite a bit acting like she does not have a home. But not anymore, I wish I could say more ma'am, but I have to go...."

I understand Mel; I said processing her revelation.

"Thanks" She nodded, and with that, she and Nate left my apartment. I slumped into a chair emotional at the announcement. Why is Alicia doing this? I poured myself a glass of wine; that is the moment I heard a knock on the door.
