DeVante Swing
June 23,1994
Los Angelos,California
"Yeah girl." I say as this random hoe is currently sucking my soul out of me.
"You like that huh Daddy." The girl says and I nod in satisfaction.
"Girl you better stop... you gonna make me cum." I say easing up a little more in the chair.
"Fuck Nyla." I say as I cum and the girl stops and looks up at me confused.
"Nyla? Who the fuck is Nyla?" The girl asks and I look at her confused.
"Nyla? When did I say that?" I asked pulling up my boxers and staring at her.
Pause.
Now, this is the part in movies when some crazy,
fucked up shit goes on and everything freezes in the background. The camera then zooms up to the person who is experiencing the fucked up shit and that's when they say their dialogue.
You're probably wondering, 'How the fuck did you get yourself in this situation'. Well let's take it back to Last Thursday when I was chilling in the studio with Jodeci working on some music.
Dalvin & K-Ci was doing their usual shit and JoJo was helping me right some music.
"Yo..." JoJo says tapping his pencil on the table to get my attention.
"What happened?" I say looking up at him.
"Your creative process isn't flourishing like it used to." JoJo says and I sigh.
"Maybe because I'm not feeling it anymore." I say kissing my teeth.
"Then take it back to 88' and 89." JoJo says and I throw my head back at his words.
"This is the 90's Jo." I say scratching my hair with the pencil.
"De you remember Nyla!" Dalvin says sitting by the radio and I furrow my eyebrows. Nyla?
"You don't remember her... she was the love of your life?" K-Ci says and the name doesn't click.
"Nyla-Janae." JoJo says and the name starts to ring a bell.
"You mean the Nyla that got accepted into Juilliard and we broke up because we had to go to Cali?" I ask and Dalvin nods.
"That same one." K-Ci says
"What about her Dalvin?" I ask and he starts to smile hella hard.
"She's on the radio." Dalvin says and my eyes pop out my head.
"On the radio?" I ask and K-Ci nods.
"Yes she's on the radio.. lemme turn this up." Dalvin says turning up the radio and I hear her speaking to some guy.
"Welcome back to 103.1 lite FM and we are here with a new artist rising out of Brooklyn New York. She goes by Nyla-J." The guy says and I lean closer to the radio.
"Thank you for having me Gary." Nyla says and her voice brings back so many memories.
"You have recently put out your album titled 'Age ain't nothing but a number', What was your inspiration?" The interviewers asks her and Nyla chuckles.
"Well, the songs on the album had to do with a lot of situations that I have endured through the past years. So that was the inspiration, letting people understand my truth." Nyla says and a smile forms across my face.
"That's deep. Your break out song 'Back & Forth', is on the album, what inspired you to write this song?" The interviewer asks her.
"This is a funny story actually, so back when I was 17 or 18... I had some dope ass friends like they were legit." Nyla says starting her story.
"She talking about us." K-Ci says and I shake my head.
"So they were into music so they had their own studio to create music and all that, so one day I was chilling with them... one of my friends was like you should freestyle something. I was like I don't know... and they was all like 'Nyla you better do it'." Nyla says with a laugh.
"So being the g that I am, I entered the booth and I started singing things from the top of my head. And those lyrics that I freestyle made up Back & Forth." She says and I start to close my eyes trying to remember her face but it wouldn't show up. It's been 4 years and I feel like it's been forever.
"There you have it folks... but one more question before I play Back & Forth.... why did you chose to make your artist name Nyla-J?" The interviewer asks and she chuckles.
"My full name is Nyla-Janae and I didn't want to go by Nyla-Janae so I shortened it to Nyla-J." She says and I chuckle a little to myself.
"Clever, well now it's time to hear Back & Forth now on 103.1 lite FM." The interviewer says and the music started to play.
"College educated and hustling." Dalvin says and I roll my eyes.
"Why you rolling your eyes De? That's was your girl." K-Ci says and I sigh in annoyance.
"Keyword Was. She probably have a man or something. It's been four years." I say playing with the pencil and looking down.
"You right... she probably fucking some other man they way she used to fuck you." K-Ci says and I kiss my teeth.
"Fuck you." I say throwing the pencil at him.
That was what happened. Ever since that Thursday, she's been on my mind... I want to see her but I just don't know if she'll remember me. Ha, I'm lying... she will remember me. I am DeVante Mothafucking Swing. Everyone knows me.
Let's proceed to the present now.
"When you was about to cum, you said 'Fuck Nyla'." She says and I scratch my head in confusion.
"I did? Well damn." I say still scratching my head.
"You ain't shit DeVante." The girl says standing up and walking away.
"Where you going?" I ask pulling up my pants and going after her.
"You can let Nyla suck your dick. And by the way, my name is Antoinette." The girl says walking out the door.
What the fuck is wrong with me. I need to find Nyla, and I need to find her now.
