I said I'm geeked and I'm fired up (fired, fire)
All I want tonight is just to get high up (high, high, high)
Girl, you look so good, it's to die for (die for)
Ooh, that pussy good, it's to die for (on fire)

YEAR 2018, July 20

CALIDA
Two months later and Michael and I have been going strong ever since. The mini vacation to Atlanta was the best five days of my life-with a couple of bumps in the road-that I wish we could have stayed longer. I would have never expected that invite to turn into something much more than it was, but it was kinda obvious that it was gonna happen. The only thing to that is, I nor Michael knew the time or day. I was just happy to be his and vice versa.

After we had made it back to Gary, I had so many booked appointments that I couldn't even count how many there were and for these past two months, I've been on go nonstop. Just making my bread for nine hours, six days a week. As for Michael, he's been at his office in downtown, doing his usual work there. Of course we'd spend time together and stay over at each other's home now when we had free time. Michael always made sure to make time for me even before he had to leave again to shoot another music video, but in Miami. He begged me to go with him and as much as a trip to Miami sounded good and all, I had declined and stayed behind to work.

Being the understanding man that he is, he knew how important my job was to me, especially how full my clientele had gotten as of late and I didn't want to put all that good income to the side for just a couple of days. Besides, we had plenty of more time to go out of state and have a great time. Just not work-related, that is.

When he had returned from the video shoot, the video of This Is America had made him a nominee for the Video Director of the Year award at the BET Awards last month and I was a proud girlfriend. Now that, I couldn't deny him of when he asked me to go along with him to California.

That night was the best night of his life as he took home the win over many others like Chris Brown, especially Ava DuVernay who was also an astounding female director. The standing ovation, love, and support he had gotten from his peers to his new found fans-whom also taken a liking to me after finding out I am his girlfriend-were just the highlights. Words just could not describe that night for him. And, of course, I had to give my man a little something-something after the after party the following night. Let's just say, that wasn't the only award he received.

Finishing my last client of the evening, I stood up from my chair at my station as I instructed the young girl to go dry her nails at the UV gel lamp dryers located in the back. The salon was getting ready to close and almost everyone was out of the doors before seven striked the clock. Since I was done with my last client of the day, I started to get a head start on getting everything put together for tomorrow. I started off by reorganizing my station 'cause Lord knows I hate having a lot of shit scattered everywhere on my table.

As I'm doing so, Passion returns from the very back where the laundry room was located. Yes, we have one here for convient reasons. She flashed a smile my way and I returned it. Knowing this girl for as long as I have now, I knew she had something up her sleeve and I was about to find out what.

"I know that damn look. Wassup, PD?" I cut right down to the chase.

She playfully rolled her eyes and replied, "I got a text from Shun about this block party tonight on 43rd Street that one of the owners of Da Trap is hosting. Shit is 'posed to be exclusive."

I raised a brow and nodded, "Oh, word?"

"Yeah, you know it's a Friday so of course I'ma be up in dat thang with zaddy."
