A New Kind of Thug Love (Thugs can love sequel)

Chapter 10

Toya POV

After class I went home to change shower and change clothes. Boo texted me and said to come to his house today to record the mixtape. I got home and Shad and Malik was in the living room chillin.

"Y'all had better done ya homework." Yes they're back in school now and I'm glad to be back in time for their senior year.

"Yes ma'am," they said. I went into my room and stripped out of my clothes. I went into the bathroom for ten or so minutes for a quick shower and then put on my red and black adidas sweat pants, matching shirt, shoes and jacket. I put my hair up in a ponytail and checked my phone. 

Future hubby: Watchu got planned for today

Wifey: Just got out of class now goin to my cousin house to record a mixtape

Future hubby: U can sing?!!?!?!

Wifey: Lol yes? Sort of

He didn't send anything back. I grabbed my purse and went into the kitchen to heat up a hot pocket and get on the road.

"Where you goin?" Shad asked.

"Boo wanted me to hang with him so I'll be on the island for a bit. Make sure y'all lock my damn door." My phone started ringing. It was Jaheem. "Hello." My food was done and now I'm heading out the door.

"Let me hear you sing." I started laughing. "I'm serious."

"I know which makes it funny. What do you want to hear?"

"Anything." I tried to think of a song that I actually remember. I started singing Bound to you by Christina Aquilara. I sang the chorus, 1st verse and then the chorus before stopping. "Damn you can sing for real."

"Thank you why you sound so shocked?"

"I've just never heard anyone who can sing that good."

We talked the whole way to Boo's house. He said he wanted a coppy of the mixtape once it's done. Fine with me. I pulled into Boo's yard and seen some niggas outside. They been staring at my car and shit. "I'll talk to you later. Let me go ahead and get this over with."

"Coo. Make sure you call me back." I turned the car off and stepped outside. 

"Damn," some nigga said. "Sexy girl with a sexy ass car. Who you be ma?" I ignored him and went inside.

"Boo!" I yelled. I ate the last of my hot pocket before throwing the trash away. 

"Up here!" I went upstairs and went to the second bedroom I guess he turned into a recording studio. "Sup cuz?"

"Chillin like a villain." There were a few other people in here just watchin a nigga and shit.

"Y'all this my cousin Toya, the one I was tellin you about, Toya these my dawgs. That's MJ, Ray, and Stello."

"Damn who drivin a Camaro?" Stello looked outside. 

"Me," I said.

"Cuz you doin big things init?"

"It was a gift but what it is you wanted me to do?" He gave me a paper with the lyrics on it. I would be singin with Stello and boy he sounded amazing. I felt like an amature compared to him. He had to teach me to be in harmony with him and to choose which pitch I sing better in since I'm both alto and soprano. I ain't gon lie that shit was fun as hell. It took longer than two hours initially because we were joking around and shit.

After we were done and shit Boo played it back. We sounded hella good. He said he had to do something before giving us a mixtape but I got everybody's number. I like making music but professionally? Nah. I still wanna be a business woman. Besides, I have too many friends doin illegal shit. Their rep would be my downfall in the long run.
