Rapper's Delight (I Always Got Your Back)

Chapter 7: Studio Fiasco

"—on it." I said teasing him.
"Bruh I'm not about to play with you." Cash laughed. "I was about to say, nigga you was gonna get all this dick."

I laughed and rolled on my back. I was seeing if I could really trust him. Good thing he ain't no weird muthafuka. I can respect that about him. Cash leaned over next to me and took in a deep breath. I could tell he was getting tired. I leaned on him and felt his heartbeat. It was getting slower and then normal. I tried to synchronize mine with his.

"Justin, I am really happy that we get to be open with one another." Cash said.
"I am too, Chris."
"You know this is the first time I heard you call me by my real name in a long time." he said.
"I mean I already know you and it's only right to call you the name nobody else will get a chance to say." I said.
"Hmph, I'll only answer to it if you call me by that name."Cash said smiling.
"Good." I said starting to fall asleep.
"Good night, Justin, I lov—" Cash said as he fell asleep.

Love? Did he almost say that he loved me? I mean we've only been in the same bed since a couple of days after he got the position. We've known each other almost all of our life, so I could see where the love is. Maybe I lo-nah I got love for him. Hmph, who am I lying to? Myself? I do have deep feelings for him. Either way, I got him and he's got me.

*The Next Morning*

I woke up to the house loud as fuck. I thought something was wrong, so I jumped up and ran out the room with my gun. Yeah, I'm a paranoid ass nigga. Growing up in the hood has made me that way and I hate it. I saw it was Cash playing with the kids doing a dance challenge. I went to put the gun back in the safe and did the dance challenge with them.

It was fun until I got a text on my phone. It was from Domino, my assistant, saying I need to get to the studio. I ignored it because I'm with my son and it's our time. The label knows I don't work on the weekend if I got my son. I continued to hear my phone buzz every 30 seconds, then Cash's phone started to blow up. I told him to ignore it and he looked at me crazy.

"Uh, what if something is going on and they need you?" Cash asked holding his phone up. I could see it was the label calling. I just didn't want to ruin my son's weekend.
"Man, they know what time it is. I don't work when my son is here." I said.
"Ok. Fine, but I will answer and check since I'm your Head of Security. Cool?" Cash said.
"Do as you see fit, but I'm not leaving my son." I said walking to hang with Sargon.
"Aite." Cash said answering the phone. "Hello?"
"Yo, Cash, is Justice with you? This is Frank."
"Yea, I know who this is? What you want with Justice?" Cash asked looking at me.
"Look! No time for bullshit! Get him to the studio ASAP! RhinoS is looking for him!" Frank shouted on the phone.
"Aite, calm yo ass—"
"Daddy?!" Kari shouted surprised.
"Sorry, princess. I meant calm down! I will bring him over in a few." Cash said looking at me. He could tell that I was upset. Cash hung up the phone.

He explained to me that I had to get over there because of RhinoS. I fucking hate this shit! They know I'm over here with my son, but that don't mean shit to them. I shook my head as I grab Sargon and got him dressed. I called up Nessy and asked her if she would watch the kids while I go handle some business. She agreed to it and we loaded up the car to drop them off. On the way there, I didn't say a word. I was so pissed at RhinoS barking fucking orders at people to get me. I don't get to see my son like that because I work a lot. That's no excuse, but when I get moments like this I cherish them. I'm not even mad at Cash for answering his phone. They were gonna pull up to my place if he didn't. We dropped off the kids and I swear I hated that.

When we pulled up to the label company, Cash touched my thigh. I removed his hand with a quickness and said,

"Let's get this shit over with and get back to the kids." I said jumping out the car.
"Yo, relax. We just got to hear what's going on and—"
"Fuck that! They on some bullshit and I'm not feeling it right now." I said walking ahead of Cash.
