Unconditional Love (Book #2)

Chapter 22

~*De'Asia*~

   "I'm not feeling this song. It doesn't fit me." I said into the mic.

   "But this will be a great debut song for Asia Amor." Mike stressed yet again.

   "Its Aria." I growled at Mike.

The fact that he was so dead set on my stage name being Asia Amor made me upset. Not to mention he want this song, that I don't like, to be my debut single in two weeks. On top of going back and forth with him about my stage name, I've been trying to get my name out there for the past month with small gigs here and there with this irritating ass song. My patience was very thin and it was only the beginning.

   "Sing the line again." Mike said ignoring my whole protest.

I sighed heavily and waited until I heard the beat again. As soon as it started where I last left off I closed my eyes and started singing.

   "I'm the sinner and you're the saint. Can we just stop pretending what we ain't? We break up to make up, can we make up our minds? All this is a waste of time." I sung adding the last line on my own.

As soon as I said that last line, Mike stopped the music and looked at me. I did an innocent smile as he shook his head at me.

   "This is serious De. We are on a limited time schedule and you want to play games."

   "I wouldn't have to play games if you ain't give me this wack ass song. Can I please record the song I wrote?"

   "If I don't like it then we going back to this one and there won't be a fight about it."

I did a happy dance as Mike stood up and Lu took his place. Lu wasn't that big into music but he knew a few things. Lu started turning knobs and moving his finger on the mouse pad on the laptop and in no time I heard the slow melody that went to the song I wrote.

   "You ready baby?"

   "Yes Lu."

I let the music go for a couple seconds as I built up the courage to sing this song outside the shower for once.

   "My love for him will never die because I always stand by his side. We been through some shit but he know he the nigga I'm down with. He say I make him feel some type of way, hence the reason he don't go astray. We have a special connection that no one can break but is it real or fake?" I decided to stop there because I wanted to know if Mike liked it so far.

I opened my eyes slowly as we all sat there quietly. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Possibly a dog whistle since it was so quiet. Mike looked like he was thinking and Lu looked confused. I was just sitting there looking at them both waiting for a response.

   "Whats the name of the song De?" Mike asked sitting forward.

   "I call it 'Real Love'." I said eyeing Lu.

   "Is it based on your marriage?"

   "Duh Mike."

   "Well I think we have a hit on our hands."

   "So this is my debut song?" I asked hopefully.

   "Yeah."

I hopped off the stool and started twerking. I was too happy. Not only did I get my way but I was going to get more money since I wrote the song myself. I was just about to put a little more back into it when I felt my mean little boy kicking.

   "Kamron calm down." I stood up straight and put a hand on my bump.

   "I'm happy I got somebody to kick yo' ass when I can't." Lu laughed at me.
