I didn't end up taking plan b like I planned to because of work. The living legend herself, Toni Braxton proposed that we do a North America tour. It wasn't something that I was expecting from her since she kicked me off her last tour.

Since we are in a good place in our sisterhood, I thought that it would be a good idea so I accepted it. Randy was really happy for me because he knows how much my sisters mean to me. 

It has been a long time since I have performed on stage with any of my sisters so I will be performing on stage with Toni tonight.

We already started clashing during rehearsals so the real test is when we are on stage today. If things work out well then we will start negotiating the contract and start planning out the tour. I am hoping that things will work out between us but I also don't want to be away from Randy.

Randy and I lay on our new bed, listening to some new music since we have some time to kill.

"I'm so happy that I have a day off." Randy says before letting out a yawn. "I'm glad that I get to see you perform again."

"Oh really?" I look up at him with a teasing smile. "The last time you saw me perform, you fell asleep halfway through the show."

Randy chuckles, "I was tired, I had flew in from Philadelphia. I didn't expect to compete in three matches in one night before I flew to Chicago for your show."

"I know." I rub his jaw. "I appreciate you for even turning up."

"You better had." He slaps my butt before giving it a hard squeeze which makes me giggle. "I never get tired of that sound but there is a sound that I like even better."

Randy lifts my body over his and pushes me forward until my second set of lips touch his mouth. A low moan escapes from my mouth as he flicks his tongue out.

"Randy."

"We got a little bit of Sweet Love in the air." Toni says into the mic, making everyone squeeze. "As you all know Anita Baker is one of my inspirations and I thought that I would sing my favourite song from her."

With all my heart, I love you babyStay with me, and you will see my arms will hold you, babyNever leave, 'cause I believe I'm in love

With all my heart, I love you baby
Stay with me, and you will see my arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe I'm in love

Sweet love hear me callin' out your name
I feel no shame; I'm in love
Sweet love, don't you ever go away
It'll always be this way

Your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we're feeling
Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe
In this love

Sweet love hear me callin' out your name
I feel no shame; I'm in love
Sweet love, don't you ever go away
It'll always be this way

"Give it up for my sister, TAMAR BRAXTON!" I don't even have time to process the cheers as I walk out singing.

There's no stronger love in this world, Oh, baby, no
You're my man; I'm your girl
I'll never go. Wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this is where you belong?

I lock eyes with Randy who is sitting in the audience with a smile on his face.

How sweet this dream, how lovely, baby
Stay right here, never fear
I will be all that you need
Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe
In this love

I look over at my sister and my eyes twinkle as we begin to sing together.

Sweet love hear me callin' out your name
I feel no shame; I'm in love
Sweet love, don't you ever go away
It'll always be this way

Oh no no no no no
(Sweet Love)

I begin to laugh as Toni and I start going back and forth, trying to outdo the other.

So sweet
So sweet
So sweet

Oh baby no, sweet love
(Sweet Love)
Oh no no no no no no
(Sweet Love)
Don't nobody know how sweet it is
(Sweet Love)


"TAMAR BRAXTON!" Toni gestures to me as everyone applauds and I pull her in for a hug.

"Thank you Toni." I say into the mic and she claps her hands, applauding me. We blow Randy a kiss before heading backstage to watch the show for a little bit until I'm next brought onto stage.

An hour later, we end the show by singing our theme song to Braxton Family Values. It was really nice since my Towanda just so happened to be in town, so we sung it together.

After the show, Toni and Towanda headed over to Toni's home since they have work to do and I went to a bar with my love.

"How was it?" I ask Randy with twinkling eyes.

"Perfect." He grabs a hold of my left hand and kisses the back of it. "It was beautiful, watching you perform makes me fall even more in love with you."

"So, when are you going to put a ring on it?" I teasingly ask as I wiggle my ring finger.

"Soon." He rubs my ring finger. "You're mine Tamar and if it takes a ring to show you that, then your wish is my command."
