Tough Love Part 71
This title comes from Ashantiâ??s song â??Babyâ?. The title is sarcastic or ironic to how Lyric is starting to feel about one of the characters. β‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽β Chapter 71 Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby I was still reeling over the fact that I had acted natural around the presidentâ??s son. But as soon as I got home, I knew I would have to start getting ready for the party M.J. invited me to. â??Lyric!â? â??Yes?â? â??Your guest is down here with us.â? I peek down the stairs and itâ??s M.J. â??O-kaay!â? I shout back. This time I was dressing myself up and didnâ??t take any advice from my dad. I fluffed my hair one more time, then I walked down the stairs. â??You look pretty.â? M.J. whispered as we hugged. â??Have her home by eleven, and no ideas wise guy. And donâ??t stop by here late again like you did the other night.â? â??What?â? â??I donâ??t what heâ??s talking about. Come onâ?¦letâ??s just go.â? I grab his hand and we were out of there! â??What was your pops talking about, Lyr?â? â??I donâ??t know.â? I say, but I feel bad at the same time. Iâ??m going to have to tell Nick not to do that again. â??Hey, thereâ??s this other demo I want you to hear.â? I inhaled again. â??Trust me, I think youâ??ll like it.â? â??No itâ??s fine.â? I say. We stopped by M.J.â??s house before we leave for the party because he said he thought he forgot something. But I tell him to let me listen to the demo while I was there; it doesnâ??t take me long to catch on to the words. â??I guess itâ??s called â??I Love Youâ??.â? â??Yeah, itâ??s a fun song.â? Hopefully he doesnâ??t feel like that towards me. â??Just a song,â? he mumbles. â??No, thatâ??s fine.â? I lean over and kiss him. M.J. told me the party takes place in the urban part of town, but seemed very fun and the DJ would play all types of songs to keep us moving. When I asked him if his friends knew about his musical ambitions, he said no, so when he left his room, I slipped in the demo tapes â??Girls Talkinâ?? Boutâ? and â??My Girlâ?. I was going to get this other one called â??Helloâ?, but he came back in the room. â??Ready?â? â??Sure.â? He leans over and kisses me again, and we go to the party. The party is held outside, but thereâ??s a lot of light for us to see each other. We were over at the punch table when three of M.J.â??s friends, Iâ??m guessing, waved him over, then approached us. â??Yâ??all, this is my girlfriend Lyric.â? â??Hi,â? I wave. The first one, who had a Mohawk, took my hand and kissed it. â??Prodigy.â? â??Why?â? â??Because Iâ??m a prodigy, baby!â? then he does one of Michaelâ??s moves. The other guy, whoâ??s almost M.J.â??s skin tone, told me his name is Roc Royal, I ask him why, and he says â??â??Cause Iâ??m royalty!â? Then the last one who had the longest plaitsâ??making me feel ashamed by my short hairâ??kissed my other hand as well, which made M.J. hold onto me tighter. â??Iâ??m Ray Ray.â? â??Why Ray Ray?â? â??Donâ??t I look like a Ray Ray?â? I squint my eyes and start laughing. â??I guess. So whatâ??s your name?â? I look over at M.J. â??He didnâ??t tell you?â? Ray Ray asks. â??He says his name is Prince-ton.â? Prodigy says dramatically. â??Ohhh, really?â? â??Yeah, and weâ??re,â? Prodigy says, â??Mindless Behavior,â? they say, excluding M.J. When I look at him in disbelief, Prodigy says, â??Oh, he didnâ??t tell you. Donâ??t tell me he used the songs like they were his.â? â??Weâ??ve all done it,â? M.J. says. â??Hey, itâ??s okay,â? I say as I spot people giving the DJ suggestions. â??Iâ??ll be right back.â? I see that the guys are turned away from me, so it makes it much easier for me to slip over the two demos to the DJ. â??You donâ??t have to play them right off,â? I tell her. â??Okay,â? she nods to the music. M.J. introduced me to some of his friends, but I sort of stuck by his side. Then when one of M.J. gal pals invited me to dance with her and her friends, I take her on the offer. It was then when â??My Girlâ? came on. I heard some people gasps and some screeches approval. M.J. catches my eye and when his friends made the decision to perform or not, they dragged him out there and they did their thing. We clapped for them and this was the first time I really saw him perform. But when I see him walk up to me, a lot of people go up to congratulate him. It wasnâ??t much longer when â??Girls Talkinâ?? Boutâ? came on. As soon as I saw him, I yanked his hand and made him dance with me because I thought he was just as excited. This song is very upbeat and you canâ??t help but dance with joy. â??Are you enjoying yourself?â? â??Yeah, hey, letâ??s go somewhere quieter where we can talk.â? â??Okay,â? I say with compliance. â??Letâ??s talk.â? He grabs my hand and Iâ??m following him. We walk over to a park bench where the music wasnâ??t so demanding. â??Whatâ??s up?â? Since he looks a little hopeless, I poke him. â??Really, tell me.â? â??WHERE did you get those demos from?â? I didnâ??t even miss a beat. â??What two demos are you talking about?â? â??Those songs! You KNOW they belong to me and the group. Why and when did you take them Lyric?â? â??M.J. what are you talking about?â? â??LOOK,â? I looked at him. I noticed his tone had risen. â??Those demos should not be heard. When I sing them to you, itâ??s only for you to hear. Me and the guys arenâ??t ready for that yet. Weâ??re not even signed.â? â??Look M.J. Iâ??m sorry I did it. Remember I thought it was only you in the â??groupâ??. You had no confidence in what you had and I felt I was the one to show everyone else. But you donâ??t have to worry about it nowâ?¦.â? â??Look, Iâ??m sorry.â? He sounded sincere, but still. He took my hands and kissed them. Then he kissed me. â??Want to go back to the party?â? â??No, not really.â? â??Fineâ?¦want a bite to eat?â? I shrug. â??You hungry?â? â??I had a little to eat at the party.â? â??Come on.â? He takes my hand and we walk to the nearest deli. But that was the worst thing for him to get me based off of my mood. â??You havenâ??t said anything since we ordered.â? I shrugged. â??I ainâ??t got nothing to say.â? He left me alone then. We walked a little in silence, holding hands. And I got home before eleven by choice. It was sometime after ten-thirty. â??Hey, Iâ??m still sorry Lyric.â? â??What about the demos?â? â??I know the guys got them.â? I let him hug me, but when he attempted to kiss me, I turned my head away. He nodded like he knew what was up, but he should. I still couldnâ??t believe he raised his voice at me, but I wasnâ??t going to let him get away with it. The only thing I said to him before he left was â??Goodnight M.J.,â? with my hands in my jacket pocket. Waking up the next day, I remember one of the first things I told M.J. was that I didnâ??t think I could come to him with church because I had just met him and that was a big deal to me because that was like meeting family members already. I was really reconsidering and was going to tell him but all this happened. Nonetheless, I got up at a reasonable time to go to church. Dad was already gone and I couldnâ??t go back to sleep because my heart was nagging at me. I know I needed to get my journal out and start writing again. â??I donâ??t remember feeling like thisâ?¦â? I started it off. Though some of what I said made no sense, but I wrote what I felt. So I got out the bed, stretched, put on my shorts, and went downstairs. â??Care to join me for some breakfast?â? â??Sure.â? I sit at one end of the table. Michael hands me my plate and sits where Dad usually does. â??How did your date go with him?â? â??M.J.?â? â??Huh?â? â??No, thatâ??s his name.â? â??Hmm.â? â??Yeah, but it was okay. Why arenâ??t you ever around when my dates come around?â? â??Because I donâ??t care to see themâ?¦.Hey Lyric?â? â??Yeah?â? â??Do you really like this guy?â? â??Well I felt his personality was interesting. I was so astounded when he talked to me on Halloween.â? â??So thatâ??s when you met him?â? â??I already knew him but we werenâ??t friends or nothing.â? I shrug and cover my pancakes with syrup. â??You donâ??t have to worry Michael. Itâ??s not like Iâ??m trying to be Mrs. Levi tomorrow so chill.â? I look at him. â??Remember, Iâ??m still earning my spot to be named Mrs. Jackson Number Two?â? Then we laugh. â??Help me wash the dishes?â? â??Just like old times,â? he says. I wash, he rinsed, dried and put away. â??Usually Michael I just wash and let the water drain.â? â??I wasnâ??t raised that way.â? â??Oh.â? Then we take turns watching what we want, but with Michael, Iâ??ll watch anything. It simply does not bother me one bit. β‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽β Hang on tight. Things are going to get juicy & it doesnâ??t even pertain to the M.J. Alaric is dating ;)
