HARLEY
"Can we take like a fifteen minute break? I need a breather."

I questioned both Meech and Jayce. I was in the recording studio with them, trying to get more songs done for their album. I didn't get much sleep last night, due to me being up all night. Tesehki and I aren't on the best of terms. And when we're fighting like this, it tears me apart.

"Yeah. No problem, take as much time as you need."

Jayce said as she came from out the booth. Meech followed behind her.

"Facts. We boutta go grab something to eat real quick. You want something, bae?"

Meech questioned Lex and looked at her. She shook her head with a smile.

"No, it's okay. I'm not hungry yet. I'll just stay here with Harley for now."

"Aight, bet. We'll be back in a bit."

The two cousins walked out of the room. It was just me, Lex, and Javier in the room now. Lex looked over at Javier, then me.

"It's cute how every time I see you, you have a new kid with you."

"That's my actual son. His name is Javier. Royalty is — you know what? You know the story already. I'm not even gonna explain again."

I chuckled, looking at Javier playing with his toys then looking back up at Lex. She chuckled.

"It's Monday. How come he isn't at school?"

"I decided to just give him an extra day off."

"How come you didn't let him stay with Tesehki so he could play with Royalty?"

"Uh... Tesehki and I aren't really on the best terms, so she left the house with Royalty until she's ready to come back. You know how it can be, fucked up relationship bullshit."

"Damn, that sucks. Do you mind me asking what happened? If it's not too personal?"

"You know how us celebrities can get. We sometimes get too comfortable with other females while we're in relationships and it just creates a wedge. I need to stop fucking around, though. Tesehki is the one I wanna be with for life."

"Really? Have you thought about marriage yet?"

"Of course I have. But we can't get married if too much shit is going on. She don't do nothing wrong, it's just me who's bullshitting around. I'm tryna be better for the both of us."

"You gotta get right, Harley. If you love her that much, you don't wanna let her slip away like Ahna ended up doing. Do you?"

"Hell nah. I want her to he with me forever. I want us to be a family with our kids, maybe have some with each other in the future. That's my baby, my everything."

After the studio session with Jayce and Meech, I ended up going back home with Javier. I decided that I would let him watch TV upstairs while I worked downstairs in my home studio. With everything going on, I figured that I would take a little steam off by working on my own music for the first time in forever.

"Every time,
Every time you tell me you gon change,

Oh, you're supposed to love with a love that's official,
Talking all that shit, it don't mean fuck around and go missing, oh,
And don't try to make up, cause I'm fine,
Cause you're just a stranger in my eyes..."

Suddenly, my recording got interrupted by my phone ringing. I was hoping that it would be Tesehki, but instead, it was just a collect call from the jail that Kameron was being held in.

"You have a collect call from Kameron Parrish. Say yes to accept. Say no to decline."

"Yes."

A few seconds later, Kameron was on the line.

"Have you contacted any of our lawyers yet? And why is Chrisean not answering any of my calls?"

"I'll get to it when I can, Kam. There's been a lot going on, but I'll get to it as soon as I can. And I'm not sure, I haven't seen Chrisean lately."

"What chu mean? She hasn't came to the house to see Tesehki?"

"Tifa left the house with Royalty. We ain't on the best of terms right now. I'm hoping she ain't done with me, but who knows going from here."

"Dawggg, what did you do this time? Why is it every time you get into relationships, you fucking them up?"

"You don't gotta remind me. I just hope she can forgive me after what I did."

"What exactly did you do? And where did you go?"

"I spent two days with Ahna in Cuba just to get my head clear of things..."

"Harley! You don't escape across the country to spend time with your ex for whatever reason! Do you know how that looks?!"

"I'm aware, Kam... is there anything else you gotta say? I'm in the middle of recording right now."

"Nah. I'll let you go. Just keep me updated with the lawyers and shit."

"I definitely will. Stay safe."

I hung up the phone, placing it down beside me. I then heard the doorbell ring so suddenly. Who the fuck could that be?

Getting up from my seat, I ran upstairs and answered the front door. To my surprise, I seen Ahna standing in front of me.

"I thought you was done with me for good?"

"You know I can't get enough of you. I'm sorry for all of that in Cuba. I'm trying my best to just move on from you, but I can't."

"Maybe you can start by not coming to my crib or stalking my social media pages. You shouldn't even be here, I'm already in enough trouble because of you."

"Can I ask you something? And be honest with me, Harley."

"What is it, Ahna?"

"Why did you invite me instead of Tesehki? That is your girlfriend, after all."

"I guess I just needed a friend. I miss that friendship in you. You really should get going. I don't need anymore trouble."

"Is she here right now?"

"She left the house for now. She needed a break from me for a while."

"Then I can come in?"

"I have my son in here. You know, the son that I was in the process of having with IVF —"

"I remember, Harley. Can I just come in for a little while? I came all of this way."

"No one told you to — you know what? Just for you to be quiet; fine. But JUST for a little while."

"Thanks."

Ahna gave me a small smirk, kissing my cheek then walking into my front door. I shook my head and looked at her.

"I'm working downstairs in the studio. Javier is up here doing his own thing."

"Cool. Let's go then."
