TESEHKI
I couldn't believe that Harley actually sat down with me and had that heart to heart conversation with me. The first time meeting her, I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen.

It almost made me have a crush on her even more.

"That is so sweet! I knew things would go good for you. I'm happy she took a liking to you."

Natalie gushed over our FaceTime call a little later on. I had called her up once I knew that Harley was for sure down in the studio.

"I know. She quite frankly seems like she's tired of everything that comes with being famous. I feel bad for her. Maybe being famous isn't all cracked out as it seems."

"Really? You would've never guessed it. It seems like her and Kameron just be living the life, for real."

"Kameron likes the lifestyle more than Harley does. Harley is more like the laid back type. You would've never been able to tell, you're right."

"We can tell Kameron does. I've already read multiple blogs about her and Chrisean being a new couple! Like damn, didn't even give the world two seconds to digest."

"I know, right. I'm just happy that Chrisean is happy. We all know what she's dealt with in her past with shitty people."

"Agreed. Speaking of relationships, if Harley is tired of the fame, do you think she's tired of her relationship with Ahna Mac, too?"

"It's a possibility. It's none of my business, so I didn't ask."

Suddenly, I heard a small knock on the door. I placed the phone down quickly and sat up on the bed.

"Yeah? Who is it?"

"It's Harley. May I come in?"

"Shit. Nat, I'll call you back later on."

"Yeah, sure thing. Keep me updated."

Natalie smirked and hung up the FaceTime call. I turned over to the door, fixing myself up.

"Yeah, you can come in."

"What chu doing in here, just chilling?"

"Yeah, pretty much. I just got off the phone with one of my best friends. What's up?"

"I was just coming to see if you wanted to come vibe with me in the studio? I feel bad leaving you all alone up here. We can just chill together until Kam and Chrisean come back."

"It's okay, I've been fine. But if you want me to come down there with you, then sure."

"You making niggas sound desperate and shit. Talking bout if I want you to come down there with me."

Harley jokingly chuckled. I laughed and playfully rolled my eyes, standing up from the bed. Lord Jesus, this girl is just soooo fucking fine! I just had to control myself.

"I —"

"I'm just fucking with you. Come on, I can show you the new song I've been working on."

"As in a solo song? No Double Trouble song?"

I questioned as the two of us began walking down the stairs. Harley nodded and continued to guide me down to the studio.

"Some solo shit. I actually have like hella unreleased albums worth of just my solo music. I'm just not allowed to release it because I'm under contract with Kameron as a duo. Luckily, this next album is the last album that the label needs from us, then I plan to go solo and independent."

"Really? Like Double Trouble will be no more? Have you and Kameron talked about this?"

"Not yet, but I'm going to bring it up. I just feel like Kameron doesn't take the music as serious as I do. It holds me back. I need to go my own way and without no label, so I can succeed on my own. I'm finally about to be at that point where I can do that."

Harley then opened up the door to their house studio. They had everything in there! It was so cool, I'd never seen anything like that before.

"That's interesting to know, I know you can do it. So, what's this song you're working on?"

"It's called Sleep At Night. It's gonna be featuring Chris Brown, I'm just waiting on him to send his verse over so I can master it and make sure it's right. My first verse is done already, you tryna hear it?"

"Of course! That's gonna be such a good song, you and Chris Brown are gonna have the whole R&B community in a choke hold."

"Facts."

Harley laughed and pressed play, music starting to play out of the speaker.

"I know,
You been,
Telling,
Everybody who will listen,
That I ain't shit,
I ain't been shit,
But that's your perspective,
And you know perspective's subjective,

Damn! That song is fire so far, like the shit just hit me in my soul! Was that song about Ahna, though? Were they having problems in their relationship low key? I looked at Harley in amazement.

"Damn! That song is so good so far, it feeds the soul! I can't wait to hear the finished product with Chris on it."

"Thank you, I really appreciate that. He just needs to hurry his ass up and send his verse."

"Do you have like any plans on what you're gonna call your first solo album?"

"I was thinking the classic self titled album; HARLEY. No Kameron, no Double Trouble, the music will just be me and who I am."

Harley smiled. I noticed she quickly looked me up and down with a small lick lip following after. I thought I was tweaking out, but I know what I seen.

"I like that, that's a good idea."

"Thank you. Aye, I'm going over to a house party tonight. You tryna come with or nah?"

"Depends whose party it is. Whose is it?"

"I know you don't care for her that much, but Reece. It's like a Christmas party she's throwing, she invited a lot of her industry friends. If you don't wanna go, that's cool. I just thought I would invite you."

"Do you know if Chrisean and Kameron are going?"

"More than likely, they are."

"That sounds fun, but I think I'll stay behind tonight. I just wanna rest, it's been a long day."

"Aight, that's fine with me. What about tomorrow?"

"Pretty much just chilling out unless said otherwise. Why, you have plans?"

"I have to go across town to check on my Cabin that I own. I might stay there for a night or two, too. Maybe until we have to leave to go to my hometown. You tryna come or you staying here with the love birds?"

Was Harley really asking me to go with her alone at her cabin? Was I dreaming or was this really my reality right now?

"Uh, sure. I'll come. Thank you for the invite."

"Sure thing. I'll be leaving outta here by eleven in the morning. So make sure you ready."
