"Las Vegas you've been a blessing tonight! Y'all really know how to turn up no lie, thank you for having me!" The crowd went crazy as I jogged off the stage taking a deep breath. Tonight was my last night here and I couldn't lie, it felt good.
I missed my Atlanta home and I was ready to get back to my bed and my dog.
After Liv blew up on me I realized I had to really get my shit together. I met up with Mellie and did the DNA test and the results were coming back tomorrow morning. I was so annoyed with this shit I just needed it to be over.
I walked in the dressing room seeing Sarah and Justin talking and laughing. "What y'all talking about?" "Oh nothing.." Sarah slid her phone across the table to me making me pick it up. She was on the TMZ web page and it was a picture of me holding Olivia in my arms that day at the hotel trying to get her away from the paparazzi. "Swipe, there's more." Justin said side eyeing me. There was a picture from our date night of me squeezing her booty and tonguing her down in the front of the hotel. I shook my head handing Sarah her phone back.
"Have she seen these?" They both shrugged. "We wouldn't know, she flew back to Atlanta last night. Won't answer any of our calls." I suddenly got lost in my own thoughts thinking about her. I knew I was going to have to put in major work to get back. It broke my heart knowing that it had to get this far for me to finally realize that she's all I have. "Anyways lover boy, your suitcases are packed and your plane leaves in an hour." Justin reminded me making me nod. "Okay." They left out the room giving me time to myself.
I picked up my phone looking at the lock screen, it was a picture of me and Olivia. Right before we went to the zoo that day, the sun was hitting just right so we had to take a few pictures. The way her face lit up when she seen our names across that boat still made me smile. She was such a simple woman and didn't like anything disturbing that peace so I understood how twisted this shit is to her. I grabbed my bag and fresh towels that were laid out for me going to the bathroom to shower up.

I looked out the window at the dark clouds as I swerved through traffic. My plane landed last night and my mind was telling me to go to Liv's crib immediately but my heart knew if I came empty handed it was gonna be a problem. I glanced over at the papers on my dash shaking my head. I was too nervous to open them up by myself so I was going to let Liv do it. This was all so crazy because Mellie wasn't like this when we first met, she was good. She was so sweet and caring but I guess that's what drugs do to you. She had so much energy that sometimes just looking at her made me tired but that was going to be my wife. When I caught her in the act it was like all that shit flew south.
The rain drops started falling heavy on the windshield bringing me peace. I loved rain, it always gave you room to think about shit and be alone. I whipped into the CVS parking lot shutting off the engine. I wanted to get Liv some roses and chocolate or whatever else I seen in there. I pulled down my hat and put on my shades just because I wanted to be in and out. I loved my fans but sometimes the shit is overwhelming.
I ran up to the door with a few more people trailing behind me.
I knew she was a fan of oreos like me so I grabbed the family pack and a basket. I was going to get some fake ass roses because nobody really maintain flowers these days. I grabbed both pink and blue getting two of each. I also peeped she liked ice coffee; she drinks that shit like it's water. I grabbed a box of popcorn that was by the DVD's walking over to checkout.
"Is that all for you today?" "Yeah." I inserted my card seeing the rain come down harder and harder, I smiled to myself seeing an elderly couple run inside hand in hand. "You have a great day." I nodded grabbing my bags and another tying the bag around my hat. This was my grandfather's and I wasn't trying to damage it.
