Focus On The Music

NINE

Tour Day 25

The group was headed to another concert in New York.
"I love you too, babygirl" Sean said over FaceTime to Asia. "Aye! Asia says hi!" Sean yelled.
"Heyyy Asia girl" Erik said, poking his head into the camera. "How's that baby?"
"Good. I feel little kicks now" she smiled.
"Damn. I bet that shit feel weird as fuck"
"No" Asia laughed. "It tickles though"
"Couldn't be me" Erik went back to minding his business.
"Could never be you. You a whole nigga" she laughed.
"Aight baby, I'll talk to you later" Sean said.
"Where's Shantel?" Asia asked.
"Sleep. Knocked the fuck out"
"Damn. I've been trying to call her. When she wakes up, tell her to call me"
"Aight. I love you"
"Love you too" Asia hung up.
"Shantel and Neek knocked the fuck out. Y'all niggas drink way too much" Sean shook his head and got up to sit in the front with Q. Dro was playing Call of Duty on the ps4 while G and Rome played spades at the table. Erik got up and went to see if Neek was up but he was still sleep with his curtain closed. Erik walked down the small hallway and into the bathroom without knocking. Shantel was leaning over the sink brushing her teeth.
"Good morning" he leaned up against the doorframe.
"Thanks for knocking" Shantel said.
"I was just checking on you. You good?"
"Yea. Hungover" she spit and used mouthwash to rinse her mouth.
"Asia wants you to call her"
"Okay"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" Shantel turned around to look at Erik.
"You pregnant?"
Shantel looked at him crazy and tried to walk past him but he stopped her.
"We not finished. You been real reckless lately and I'm worried about you"
"No, you're asking because there's a chance that IF I was pregnant, it could be yours. I'm not pregnant. I took a test at the last show because I thought I was too" she pushed past him and walked away.
"Okay" he closed the door to use the bathroom.
"Good morning wingman" G said to Shantel as she walked into the main area of the tour bus.
"Shut up" she sat next to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Nah for real. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten that threesome. Thank you"
"No problem" Shantel reached over the table and grabbed the box of Fruit Loops to eat.
"Shantel, Asia wants you to call her" Neek said.
"I know.....Do y'all normally travel with groupies?"
"Depends. We used to till Erik fucked up and let a stalker on. She ended up posting everything on her Snapchat. After that, Sean said no more groupies unless we know them" Neek replied.

The group arrived in New York around 2am. They checked into their hotel and each went to their separate rooms to rest before their show the next day.
Erik had just gotten out the shower and wrapped a towel around his hips before grabbing the jojoba oil from his bag and putting some in his freshly washed hair. Real Games by Lucky Daye was playing over his Bluetooth speaker. He heard a knock at his door and turned his music down before walking over to see who it was.
"Shantel..." He opened the door to see her standing there. "Wussup?"
"Hey...." she noticed his chiseled wet body. "....I was just-I was coming over to see-"
"If I want company? I could use it. Come in" he opened the door wider to let her in and looked out into the hall to see if anyone seen her come in"
"Your body wash smells good" she said from his bed. She sat on the edge of it, leaning back on the palms of her hands with her right leg folded over her left. She had on a tshirt and spandex shorts. Her long smooth legs caught Eriks attention.
"Thanks. Let me throw something on" he walked into the bathroom.
"Did I interrupt your alone time?"
"A little. I was just about to buy a porn pay per view"
Shantel laughed.
"You wouldn't waste your money on that corny shit"
"I wouldn't?" He walked into the room wearing black basketball shorts with a chain around his neck.
"You're too cheap. You wouldn't"
Erik pushed Shantel over and climbed onto the bed, leaning up against the headboard.
"Get the fuck out the way. There's a game on" he tossed a pillow at her. "Big ass head"
Shantel sucked her teeth and joined Erik up against the headboard. The two of them watched a basketball game while snacking on popcorn and marshmallows. Erik had a bottle of 1942 that he shared with Shantel.
"I'm glad we can hang out without it being awkward" Shantel said.
"Me too" Erik agreed.
Shantel took over the playlist and turned on 'Toxic by Kehlani'. She stood up on the bed and began dancing with her cup in her hand. Erik looked up at her.
"Don't spill that shit on my bed" he said.
