A Better Love The Sequel

Thinking of You

January

It has been officially three months since I have left Atlanta. That was the hardest thing I ever thought I would have to do. Now as I sit here in my new office at my desk I feel like I left my heart in Atlanta. I keep looking at the picture of me and Que from his Album release party and how we looked so happy and so in love. I wish things could go back to the way that they were. I have to say that I have really been busy with doing interviews and now I have to do a photo shoot this week that I really am not looking forward to but this is what comes with the territory. I rose from seat and looked out the window at how beautiful the city was. LA is a very beautiful city and there is so much to do but I still have a lot to get used to. While I was looking out the window I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I yelled.

Amber my assistant came in with a mocha latte. She gave me my latte and I looked at her because Amber was a pretty girl she stood about 5 foot 4 inches with a short spiky haircut. She was light skinned and she had a small frame but was very curvy.

"So January how about we go out and hit the town tonight. I mean you have been here for three months and you stay so secluded."

"Amber I told you I just want to focus on my career. I didn't come here to have a good time. Maybe to shop and sight see but no clubbing."

She looked at me like I was totally insane.

"Why the hell not January? I mean you are in LA for God's sake."

"Amber I know but my heart ain't it." I don't think my heart will ever be in it because my heart is somewhere else. I thought to myself.

I took a couple sips from my latte while Amber just kept staring at me like I was crazy.

"Umm Amber what the hell? You just gone stare at me the whole time you are in here."

She smiled showing her dimples. She was looking at me as if she was trying to figure something out.

"You know you are really a pretty girl but I can't figure out why you insist on staying hidden in your work and at home."

I sighed because Amber was always digging trying to figure shit out that really didn't concern her at all. I mean she is cool but I just really don't won't people all in my business like that. I don't trust easily after all the shit I have been through.

"Look Amber I have my reasons for being the way that I am. Just know that it is nothing against you, but I don't trust nobody. I been through a lot of shit and I don't have time for all the extra."

Amber raised her hands in defeat and let it go for now but knowing her she would keep digging and begging me to hit the town with her. When she finally left I went back to my seat and I started going over my monthly sales from my makeup. I had really been doing good and I was really proud of myself and my marketing team. My office phone buzzed and it was Amber telling me that I had a visitor. I was thinking to myself who in the hell would be coming to see me and how they knew where JS cosmetics was located. I rose from my desk and told Amber to send them in. When I looked up I couldn't stop the smile on my face when I saw my father.

"Hey dad." I said walking to him and giving him a big hug.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I thought I would come and visit my daughter and see how you were doing out here in LA."

"I'm good just working as usual."

He walked around my office looking at everything and smiling in the process. He stopped at my desk and picked up the picture of Que and I. Before I knew it I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
