Aaliyah pov

Its been a week since the incident and de, he's been blowing me up nonstop and honestly I wasn't trying to hear shit I was currently at my video shoot for rock the boat and for the past 3 days I've been working my ass off

"Alright that's break" my director said as I started walking to my dressing room

I was thinking about how this video was going to turn out until I got distracted by the one person I didn't want to see

Donald

"Why are you here ? No matter of fact how did you know I was here" I said folding my hands across my chest

"Aaliyah let me explain I've been calling you for days man and you haven't been answering me and to answer your question Andre talks a lot" he said sitting on the couch making himself comfortable

I mentally cursed his blabber mouth

"Look you got 3 minutes to explain starting now" I said annoyed

"Well first of all I want to say I apologize for letting her even be on my lap but I told her move and she didn't, plus I tried pushing her and she didn't budge she was built like a strong ass baby I done tell you babies be strong as shit" he said looking me in my eyes sounding serious

I laughed a little cause this boy is so dumb "2 minutes to go"

"And I want you to know that I really am sorry" he I said looking me in my eyes

Something in his eyes told me that he was telling the truth

"I believe you" I said telling the truth

I saw a smile appear on face but quickly faded

"oh and if you ever try some yelling at me  type shit again we gonna have a repeat of last time understand?" he looked at me giving me this creepy ass smile

I just nodded in understanding I was about to speak but quickly got cut off from by my director coming to get me telling me it's time to shoot the last scenes

he looked at me "can I come watch"

"yeah just don't distract me" I said laughing

he followed me out the room with my director Jimmy

"alright this is the final scene let's get it done so we can leave cause we're all tired Aaliyah start back from where you were before" I nodded in understanding

the music soon started and I started lip syncing the words making it look real

'I need you to use yourself
Like you never ever used it before
To explore my body
Until you reach the shore
You'll be calling, calling for more

Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new positions
New positions, new positions
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me'
