*2 month later

Anne:

It’s been 2 months and I can’t believe my brother Stan is gone. I feel so lost without him, who am I going to talk to now? Who’s going to give me the wise advice he used to give me?

Shit.

I wish I could bring him back, we still had so much to talk about.

My phone rings…

“Hello?” I answer.

“Hey babes! It’s Barbie!” A cute, thin, little voice exclaims.

“Oh my god! Barbara is that you?” I exclaim with excitement.

“Yea hun, how are you?” She asks.

“Well just pulling through you know?” I tell her.

“I heard I’m sorry love.” She tries to comfort me.

“Where you at though? Are you in Miami still?” I ask.

Barbara is an aspiring female rapper, but she’s also a professional dancer. I been helping her with all her promotions, graphics and I also, do some of her management from time to time. But since she’s been in Miami promoting her new mixtape and with the loss of my brother I haven’t had time to reach out to her.

Did I mention that Barbara dated Wayne? Well, she’s Wayne ex-girlfriend before he got with the girl he’s with now.

“Yeah boo, I’m out here doing a lot of crazy stuff” She answers.

There’s a short pause and I ask, “Have you seen Wayne?”

She sighs, “No, I rather not bump into him for now. Are you talking to him still?”

I can’t lie to her.

“Yeah…” I tell her.

“That’s cool love, as long as he doesn’t hurt you or I’ll have a little chat with him” She says and laughs.

“You’re silly” I say and laugh.

“Well baby, I just called to check in on you! I have some dope tracks I want you to listen to first as always. I’ll be sending that to you later today and I’ll text ya!” She says with joy.

“Of course! I’m excited!” I exclaim with joy.

“Okay talk to you later sweetie!” She says with her sweet voice.

“Bye barb, love ya” I tell her.

“Love ya back” she hangs up.

She’s the only one I have left who understands me as much as my brother did. I’m so happy she’s back in touch with me.

Wayne:

“Yo! The track you did 2 months ago is all over the internet man! And people are going nuts!” Mack yells out as he enters the studio.

“Seriously? I don’t like how it came out to be honest,” I tell him.

“Well people love it bro!” Mack assures me.

Has Anne heard the song? Shit. She probably has and if she hasn’t she most likely will soon.

My iphone rings…

“Yo!” I answer.

“Wayne, I have set you for LA in 3 days you’ll be doing a video shoot.” Cortez, my manager tells me.

“Yeah for sure man, just get everything ready I’ll be there.” I tell him.

“Alright man,” He hangs up.

“What happened?” Mack asked.

“None just Tez saying we gotta go shoot a video in LA this week” I respond as I sit down.

“Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that!” Mack exclaims as he puts his hand over his head.

“It’s cool” I tell him.

“So this track dude is hot!” Mack insists.

“I guess.” I try to agree.

My Blackberry vibrates…

It’s Dana… Dam…

• Hey

She’s probably in Miami…

• Me: Hey beautiful, where you at?

• Dana: Where you think ;)

• Me: Sweet, see you tonight?

• Dana: Sure, I can stop by. Your place?

• Me: Yeah, I’ll let you know.

• Dana: Okay xo!

“Let me hear it again,” I tell Mike as the song I just recorded ends.

Dhea:

These two months have been so cold for me and Wayne. He’s been much more distant than before, it breaks my heart. He brings girls home as if I’m not even here.

I don’t want to upset him more than he already is. Maybe I should just pack my things and go…

Maybe I should try to work things out…

I hear the service lady call my name…

“Yes Lola?” I respond.

“Ma’am Ms. Flores is here to see you.” She tells me as I enter the living room.

“Bring her over here please, thank you,” I command her.

“Yes ma’am” She obeys.

I take a sit on the couch. I wonder what Marisa needs. She’s Wayne’s stylist, I bet she’s here for some clothes or something.

“Hey girl!” Marisa greets me.

“Hey lovely, what happened?” I ask I greet her with a hug.

“Wayne sent me over to pack some of the new stuff that arrived for LA, we’ll be leaving in 2 days.” Marisa informs me.

“I wasn’t aware, Wayne didn’t tell me anything.” I tell her.

“We just got told a few hours ago so I imagine Wayne would tell you later anyway.” She assures me.

“Well all the new stuff Wayne has is in the other side of the house in his lobby area, let’s go check it out.” I tell Marisa as I signal her to follow me.

As we get to the other side of the house and make our way into the room where Wayne puts all his new stuff Marisa asks,

“You okay? You look tired?”

“Yeah, I’m fine, you know in Wayne’s world sleep doesn’t exist.” I tell her in a joking matter.

She laughs, “Very true!”

“Well these are all the new merchandise he has received,” I point to about 6 boxes on the floor.

“Awesome!” She exclaims as she opens up one of the boxes.

“Well I should pack too!” I tell her as I make my way out, “This is your house.”

“Thanks D!” She says as she keeps opening the boxes.

I head to other side of the house where our room is located. As I enter our room, I noticed I left my phone on the bed. I have 3 missed calls from Wayne.

I wonder what happened…I dial….

“Why haven’t you answered your phone?” He asks immediately.

“Sorry I left it in the room, while I went to greet Marisa.” I respond.

“She’s there?” Wayne asks.

“Yeah, she’s packing your new stuff.” I inform him.

“Okay, well that’s all I wanted to tell you.” He tells me relieved.

“Oh…okay…” I say.

There’s a silent pause.

I hear all the guys in the background.

“Are you coming home right now? Or until morning?” I ask.

“I’ll be there in the morning.” He responds immediately, “Pack your stuff, I’ll see you later.”

“Okay, love you” I say hopeful.

“Love you too love.” He hangs up.

“Love you too love” I got this hot, rush from my throat to my stomach. I love to hear him say that.

It had been awhile since he said that.

Anne:

My email is going crazy, all my social sites are going ballistic!

“Are you dear anne?”

“This song is for you!”

“I’m jealous! He wrote this for you!”

What are these people talking about?

My phone rings…

“Annneeeeeeeee!!!” Vanessa shouts over the phone with such excitement.

“Wow! What the fuck bitch?” I exclaim in a joking matter.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t heard the song?!” She asks anxiously.

“What song? Oh my god, everyone on the dam internet is messaging me about some song” I tell her annoyed.

“Oh gosh girl! Get on dam Youtube and look up Dear Anne, NOW!” she commands, “Call me after you hear it!”

She hangs up.

Dear Anne?…

I sign on to Youtube and search “Dear Anne”

I see titles that read, “NEW SONG – DEAR ANNE by LIL WAYNE”

What is this? I’m suddenly nervous… my hands get shaky, I can hardly control the mouse…

I click on the first video….

[ song plays ]

My heart drops… I start to loose my breath… Is this really for me?

I’m speechless.

My phone rings, I jump up scared…

“Hello?” I answered worried.

“Did I scared you?” Vanessa asks.

“No, you just caught me off guard.” I respond relieved.

“Okay.. tell me you heard it?” She asks anxiously.

“I did…” I answer.

“Well?” She asks impatiently.

“Well what? It’s just a song, he made. There’s no way that’s me. You know how many Anne’s he probably knows?” I tell her trying to avoid reality.

“You must be in the worst denial of your life,” She says disappointed since she didn’t get the response she wanted.

“Let me leave you alone, so you can replay that bitch over and over until it makes sense in your little head that everything he says relates to YOU! And only You!” she affirms.

“You’re insane!” I exclaim with a nervous laugh.

“Bye ANNE!” She yells out and hangs up.

I replay the song… this can not be true.

Wayne:

“Hey love” I tell Dana as she answers her phone.

“Hey baby!” She responds excited.

“Come through,” I tell her, as I enter my condo in the Setai Hotel.

“Your house?” She asks.

“Nah, my condo, the setai” I confirm.

“Okay I’ll be up there in a few minutes,” She confirms.

“Cool,” I hang up.

As I get comfortable, I grab a smoke and head out to the balcony. Wanting to text Anne but fuck it I got Dana coming over right now.

Inhale…. Exhale….

I hear a knock on the door…. it must be Dana…

Back to the present*

Dhea:

“Good morning,” I tell Wayne as he wakes up and I come out the restroom.

“Morning love,” he responds, “What time is it?”

“It’s about 11:30, you going out today?” I ask.

“Fuck!” He exclaims and quickly grabs his phone.

I don’t say anything. I just keep on walking to the dresser to get my hair brush. He gets up quickly from the bed and starts to make a phone call.

“Morning Dev, what’s the status on the shipment I had reserved?” I hear him ask as he walks in the bathroom.

As I see him through the clear walls of the restroom talking on the phone, he looks concerned. All I hear is mumbling, can’t quite get the what he’s saying.

I bet is the shipment that texted him yesterday.

I go ahead and put my hair in a ponytail. I hear my phone get a new text message, it’s Wayne’s older daughter Reginae.

She’s a sweetheart, so glad I won her love and trust.

“Dhea baby! Let’s ichat :)”

I reply, “Of course, let me get on my laptop, xo!”

I grab my macbook and turn it on. I immediately get Reginae’s ichat alert.

“Dhea baby!” she exclaims with a huge smile.

“Hey sweetie!” I exclaimed excited.

“I miss you!” she tells me.

“I miss you too! When are you coming?” I ask.

“Daddy said he would sent for me soon, but hasn’t confirmed a date,” she answers with a half smile.

“He’s in the restroom, when he comes out you can ask him,” I suggest.

“Swag!” She yells out.

We both laugh.

“Tell me, what’s new?” I ask her.

As she tells me all her new upcoming projects and school stuff, Wayne’s come out the restroom. He looks annoyed.

“Daddy I see you!” Reginae shouts.

Wayne gets closer and stands behind me.

“Hey princess, how are you baby?” Wayne asks.

“I’m good daddy. When are you sending for me?” Reginae asks without hesitation.

“As soon as your mother confirms the date baby, I promise. I’ll let y’all talk.” Wayne tells Reginae.

“Okay daddy, I love you!” She tells him sending him a kiss.

“Love you too big head” He says and walks out the bedroom.

Reginae and I get back to our conversation.

Anne:

Long flights, but I’m finally back home. I’m still concerned on why he didn’t tell me himself he had changed his mind. Maybe something came up.

“Hey girl!” I greet my friend Vanessa as she arrives at the table of the restaurant where we always meet.

“Oh my god! What happened?” she asks concerned.

“I don’t know he hasn’t called or texted,” I answer her.

“He’ll probably contact you soon, you never know” She tried to comfort me.

“I hope so. Worst part is I come home to the news that my brother Stan is sick again,” I tell her.

“Stanley? The one the lives in North Carolina?” She asks me.

“Yeah, his mom called me and he’s been having trouble with those dam kidney stones that come every six months due to his condition.” I tell her.

Stanley is friend, but we have been so close he’s like my brother. To know that he’s going through such pain hurts me and saddens me. I know he’s going to remain strong because we have so much dreams and goals together we have to accomplish.

“That sucks dude” Vanessa says with a frown.

“I know, I but he’s strong I know he’ll make it through this time” I assured her.

The waiter comes over and as he takes our order, I get a new text message.

It’s Wayne…

“You left?”

My heart sunk.

“You alright?” Vanessa asks.

“You were right” I tell her as I smile, “He didn’t know I had left.”

“What? Oh my god, is that him?” Vanessa asks anxiously.

“Yeah,” I tell her smiling.

Shit, my heart is going crazy and I can feel my blood boil throughout my veins.

“Yeah, I didn’t get told anything. The driver got there so I left.” - Me

“Dam babe!” - Wayne

“Next time? If you want.” - Me

“I do.” - Wayne.

“Let me know” - Me.

Wayne:

Fuck.

She wasn’t suppose to leave.

As I head to the kitchen my phone rings, it’s Toya, Reginae’s mother.

“Toya, what’s up?” I answer.

“Just calling to let you know that Nae can go over in two days if that’s okay?” she confirms.

“Yeah, you know I love to have her here,” I respond.

“Okay, she has a week break from school. She wants to stay the whole week.” She tells me.

“Yeah that’s koo” I confirm, “Alright bye.”

I hang up and as I enter the kitchen my chef greets me,

“Good morning, Mr. Carter what would you like to eat for breakfast?” He asks politely.

“Whatever you have in mind, all I know is that I’m starving!” I tell him as I open the fridge, “By the way we still have that tea you made me?”

“Yessir, I’ll be serving you right away,” He tells me.

“No. it’s koo. I just saw it, i’ll do it myself thanks though,” I respond as grab the jug with tea.

I serve myself a cup of tea and head out to my tv room. I turn in to ESPN and I sit on my couch.

I hear someone approaching.

“Hey babe,” Dhea says as she comes and sits next to me.

I put my arm around her and she lays her head on my shoulder.

“Reginae is coming in two days, she’s staying for a week,” I inform Dhea.

My daughter and Dhea have become good friends and I like that. I know they love each other dearly.

“Thats great! She’s anxious to come here,” She says excited.

“Yeah..” I respond as I keep watching tv.

“I been meaning to tell you something,” Dhea says quietly.

“What is it?” I ask calmly.

Dhea lifts herself from my shoulder and looks at me, I look back at her waiting for her to tell me what she has to say.

“What if I tell you that I got an offer to model?” she tells me.

I turn back to watch tv and keep on drinking my tea. She waits for me to answer.

“We already went over of the bullshit.” I tell her as I keep my eyes on the tv.

“But babe it would mean so much to me, your supp…..” I interrupter, “What did I fucking tell you in the beginning?”

“I know but….” She tried to keep on going, “But nothing Dhea! I already said what I had to say about that and you agreed now don’t come back to me with that bullshit.”

I get up from the couch annoyed. I hate when she brings that shit up. She agreed to the lifestyle I brought her into.

“Wait,” I tell her as I turn to her, “There’s a solution to this, we can call it done and you can go pursue whatever the fuck you want.”

“Breakfast I served Mr. Carter!” The chef shouts.

“Just in time!” I exclaim, raising my arms towards the ceiling and walk to the dinning room.

Dhea gets up from the couch and follows me, she starts to cry quietly. I take a seat at the table and start to eat my served breakfast. Dhea takes a sit. She sits still, with tears running down her face.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” I ask her without looking at her.

She remains quiet. The tension in the room becomes more intense.

She wipes her tears and slowly stars to pick at her fruit salad.

“I have to do the trukfit photo shoot today, I’m expecting for you to come with me.” I tell her.

“Sure” she says quietly sobbing.

“Good.” I tell her as I get up from the table, “I’ma go get ready ride quick.”

As I walk by her I stop and kiss her forehead. She does nothing and stays in her seat.

Some times I feel as if I don’t know her, feels like this relationship is just one more chore to take care of.

It’s evening that same day*

Anne:

As I sit at home, in my living room watching tv, I try to call my brother Stanley.

No answer.

I hope he’s okay. Last time we talked he was doing okay but those kidney stones said were a drag. He said it was an every six months thing so I’m guessing he’ll be okay.

I get up from my couch, turn off the tv and head to my room. My phone rings, it’s my friend Daniel, he’s a DJ and who works for the local radio station. I wonder why he’s calling me.

“Hi Danny” I answer.

“Hey Mrs. Weezy! What you up to?” He asked with enthusiasm.

I laugh, “Nothing much just chilling at home and you?”

“Well, I was calling you to ask you if you’re willing to have an interview with us about how you meet Weezy and all that good stuff!” he tells me.

“Oh Dan, I don’t know, if I should or if he won’t mind?” I tell me with doubt.

“I mean we can make some paper work and get you paid to have this interview with you.” Daniel insists.

“I mean, this is really personal. Not to be a jerk or anything but I still keep in contact with him and I don’t think it would be right, you know?” I respond.

“Yeah, I getcha friend. No worries but if you change your mind, hit me up. We can recompense you well” He says trying to convince me.

I chuckle, “Dam Dan, I will have it in mind but just heads up I don’t think you’ll be getting that interview.”

“Just sayin!” He says laughin, “I’ll talk to ya later friend!”

I hung up. An interview? Where God knows how many people will listen? I rather not risk it. Not even for all the money in the world. I rather have his trust.

I hear the house door opening…

“Anne?” My mother yells out.

“yeah?” I shout from my room.

“Oh just checking if your home” My mom responds as I hear her walk to my room.

“Cool.” I tell her.

“You alright?” She asks with a puzzled look.

“Yeah, just…nevermind,” I tell her.

“Just what? Tell me” She asks as she takes a seat on the edge of my bed.

“Remember Daniel, the DJ? He called asking if I wanted to do an interview about my experience meeting Wayne,” I explain, “I told him no.”

“Well you did good. What if you do this interview and it can hurt your friendship with him?” she suggests.

“True!” I agree.

“Well I gotta go finish the dinner, your father should be home at any time.” She says as she gets up from my bed.

“Mom…” I say.

“Yeah?” She stands still.

“Can you fall in love with a super star?” I ask.

“You already are,” She responds to me with a smile, “The look in your eyes when you receive or even just mention his name is more than obvious.” She walks out my room.

I stand still for a moment and think about what she just said. No way I can not fall for him, we’re from separate worlds and there’s no way, at all.

I can’t get too involved….wait…it’s too late for that.

Wayne:

at the Trukfit photo shoot*

“And that’s a wrap!” The photographer announces.

“Cool” I say as shake hands with him.

I walk out and head to my dressing room, Dhea has been waiting in the dressing room since the shoot started. She just can’t fucking chill out for a second lately.

“Why did you go out there?” I ask her as I change my shirts.

“I was fine here,” she responds.

“Well, your truck is ready, you can head out to the house. I’ll see you after the studio.” I tell her.

She gives me no emotion whatsoever.

“Okay,” she says as she gets up from her chair and gets her things.

“Hold up,” I stop her and I pull her closer, “Why you acting like this? This ain’t gone change anything.”

She stays quiet.

“Nae is coming and I expect for this to be forgotten,” I order her.

“It will be.” She responds.

I grab her from her chin and give her a kiss on the lips, “I’ll see you later.”

I let her go and she walks out the dressing room.

*2 days later, Reginae arrives at Wayne’s house.

Dhea:

As I watch Wayne, Marley and other Wayne’s friend skate, someone suddenly cover my eyes from behind. I start to feel the hands…

“Who this might be?” I ask as I try not to laugh, even though I know it’s Reginae.

I hear her giggle, “Dhea!” She shouts as she uncovers my eyes and walks in front of me.

“Nae, sweety!” I shout back and open my arms to hug her.

She hugs me back and kisses my cheek. She then runs to her dad.

“Daddy!” she shouts as she opens her arms.

“Baby!” Wayne shouts back and hugs her. He kisses her forehead.

She goes and greets Marley and says hi to the rest of the guys.

“Man, I missed y’all” Reginae says to us with that bubbly personality of hers.

“We have dinner reserved for us tonight, so y’all need to go get pretty,” Wayne tells us.

“Oh snap! Daddy that’s cute” Reginae says smiling, “Come on Dhea, we have a lot to discuss.”

She grabs my hand and pulls me towards the door, Wayne stays outside skating “I’ll be in a minute.” He shouts as we walk inside.

We get to my room.

“I made the cheer squad at school” Reginae tells me excited.

“That’s great! I used to be in my high school’s dance team,” I tell her.

“Really?” She asked, “You don’t look like a dancer.” She laughs.

“Silly! Of course, it used to be fun.” I tell her.

“You have any pictures?” She asks me.

“Yeah let me show you,” I tell her as I grab my laptop.

I start to show her all the pictures I scanned from home to my computer. As I scroll through the pictures my recent model pictures pop up.

“Oh that’s it” I say and quickly exit the window.

“Wait wait! You have to show those now” Reginae says as she tries to take my laptop from me.

“Okay but it’s going to be our secret,” I tell her, “Pink swear?”

I hold out my pinky. We pinky swear.

“They’re so beautiful! I love how you model and these are recent too!,” Reginae compliments.

“Thanks sweetie and yes they are,” I say.

“How come it’s a secret though?” She asks.

“Daddy doesn’t like it,” I tell her.

“Oh.” She responds as she keeps admiring my photos.

“Well you make a beautiful model” She says, “You want to help me unpack?”

“Yeah let’s go,” I agree and we leave the room to Reginae’s.

Wayne:

“Sick shesh man!” I tell Marley and the rest of the guys, “Fuckin’ killed this shit”

“That way you landed that pop shove stair though” Marley says.

“I know man crazy shit,” I agree, “Well I gotta get going, I’ll meet up with you and Mack at the studio later. Guys feel at home! Mi casa, su casa.”

The guys all thank me and I walk inside my house and head to my room.

I lay my skateboard right outside my bedroom door. As I walk in I take off my sweaty shirt, I notice Dhea’s laptop wide open, I walk over to the computer.

I click on it and what it looks recent modeling pictures of her pop up.

What the fuck has she been doing behind my back?

To be continued…..(Part 2 coming soon)
