An Envious Obsession

Out of time to say goodbye

Janet

Chapter 30

Knock Knock

"Hold on baby..." I put the phone down. "Who is it?" I ask.

"Aaliyah."

I grab the phone. "Toni I'll see you when you get here...that's Aaliyah at the door."

"Janet I lo-

I hung up the phone, and I put it back on the receiver. I went to the front door, and I opened it with a smile on my face. But that smile vanished when I saw how pissed, and upset Aaliyah looked.

"Aaliyah...hey...what are you doing here?" I asked, but she didn't respond right away. She just had her fist bawled, and her face scrunched up in the most evil expression I have ever seen on her.

I furrowed my brows. "What's wrong?" I asked.

She pointed at me, then stepped through the door. "YOU...what's wrong with YOU?" She yelled then slammed my door shut behind her. "I can't believe you Janet...why would you do some shit like that, I thought we were way passed that incident that happened?" She yelled once again getting all in my face. I honestly didn't know what she was talking about, but I took my heels off slowly because she was getting a little too hostile for my liking.

"First of all." I took off my left heel. "You need to lower you damn voice, because I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Janet, so don't try to act like you don't know. You wanted to get back at me for something I had no control of, so you sent me for work with a fucking rapist!" Aaliyah was yelling, and straining so hard veins appeared in her neck. She was shocking the hell out of me, but what shocked me the most was what she had said.

I shook my head in complete utterly shock. "Wait...what?"

"Your so called friend Shemar tried to rape me after the video shoot. And he almost did just that, if my manager wouldn't have walked in. How could you do that to me Janet....I trusted you!!"

"Hold the hell up, you couldn't possible think I knew he would do something like that to you, and how the hell do you know he's a rapist?"

"I went to press charges, and when they pulled up his background they told me he had five charges of rape, and one with sexual harassment. And people with backgrounds like that shouldn't be out making music, and roaming everywhere possible!"

"That can't be possible, I do background checks on everyone I work with."

She folded her arms across her chest. "He got the charges in Canada. Did you know that?"

I shook my head. "See that's why I didn't know. You have to believe me when I say I didn't know anything about that."

Aaliyah waves her hand as if she doesn't want to hear that. "I've been through that shit to many times in my life, and I'm beyond pissed. I fail to believe your intentions were good Janet, and you know what. I don't care what you say, I came here to beat your ass and I'm not leaving here til I do."

"Aaliyah if you don't get your narrow ass out of my house I know something. You always trying to fight somebody. I have a special evening planned and I don't need you coming in here making the atmosphere all icky. Get the hell out!" I went to my door, and I opened it. "Get out."

Aaliyah looked around at the decorations I had, set for a romantic evening and she smiled. "Was all of this for me?"

I furrowed my brows. "You know that's not for you....now leave!!"
