Tamika
I'm at the studio with Bobby as usual. He's in the booth recording his new song "Prerogative". It was a bunch of people in here. A couple guys but mainly females. I only been here a week and I already know that Bobby takes advantage when Terry isn't in the studio by inviting all these random people and they friends in.

"How did that sound" Bobby said in the booth

"It's was good" a couple of his groupies said

"It was okay baby you was just flat on some parts" I said being honest. I know some things about singing I was in my church choir since I was little girl.

The producer looked at me than at Bobby.  Bobby came out the booth and walked up to me.

"Tamika let me talk to you for a minute" he said walking up to me, gripping my arm up and dragging me out the studio

"Let me tell you something when I ask you how do I sound, you say I sound great"

"Bobby I'm not going to lie to you"

"Then don't say nothing at all, your not a producer, your not a songwriter your my girlfriend so stay in your place" he yelled at me

"Your acting like I mean you harm, I'm the only one who cares about you in that studio right now, them niggas you trying to impress are just trying to mooch off your fame and them groupies just trying to get in your pants"

"You know what go get me something to eat, get you something too and take your time" he said slapping some money in my hand and walking back in the studio. I know that wasn't Bobby taking that's the coke talking. He becomes a different person when he does that stuff. He becomes harsh and mean.

I walked down to MCA's cafeteria. looking at their food options. I was so busy looking that I bumped into somebody and fell

"Sorry about that" he said holding his hand out

"It's okay" I said taking his hand and lifting myself up

"Let me guess Texas" he said

"Yeah how you know"

"My mom from Texas y'all have a distinct accent"

"Your the first person out side of Texas to know where I'm from"

"My name is johnny by the way"

"My names tamika" I said holding my hand out to shake his

"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl" he said kissing my hand

"Thank you" I said smiling

"Well I have to go, hopefully I get to see you again" he said smiling and walking away

Johnny was sweet I couldn't help but to blush.

Melissa, Keyanna, and I went shopping for dresses for the new artist gala tonight.

"I can't wait to show Marcus off at the gala" Melissa said

"Why it's just going to make Mike mad" I said joking

Although I joke about Mike to Melissa a lot. I'm half way serious you can tell they like each other and I think they would be good together.

"Maybe you should ask Mike to be your date" she said sarcastically

"Anyway wassup with you Key you been quiet over there"

"Nothing" she said looking at more dresses

"Oh I know what that nothing means, what he do girl" Melissa said

"It's just...... Ralph been acting weird, he's been jumpy as hell, coming home late, and then he always hang up the phone when I walk in the room"

"Well maybe he has another surprise for you I mean he surprised you with a ring, an apartment, maybe this one is a car" Melissa said shrugging her shoulders

"Think positive Ralph is a good guy he's not like my ex" I said rolling my eyes

"I heard he came to your door singing" key said

"How did you hear". the only person who knew was Melissa

"boys talk, they also know you slept with someone else, you really hurt that man" she said

"Good now he knows what it feels like" Melissa said

"Can I tell y'all something, I slept with that guy because I thought it help me get over Ricky but it didn't help at all " I said sitting on the couch in the store

"Listen if you really want Ricky back at this point go get him back because he want you back and I feel as though you don't want to admit it but you want him back as well, y'all both hurt each other" Keyanna said

"I don't know about all that, I think she just need a break from him and just date other men and it wouldn't hurt to flaunt some of them in front of Ricky, but y'all know I'm petty" Melissa said

"Don't listen to Melissa, trust me I seen him he looks pitiful and I truly think he understand he fucked up and he wants to make it right"

"You know what guys I don't want to talk about this anymore not today I want to enjoy the rest of my day without thinking about him"
