Nahla Reese

"Call me as soon as you leave the meeting" I told Mir through the phone as I laid on the couch scrolling through the tv

He was meeting up with another record label today to show them everything's he's been working on.

"You know I got you baby girl. You're the first person I'm calling" He laughed

"You better Jamir"

"Chill on my Gov name girl" He said making me laugh "What you gonna do today?"

"Uh I think we heading to my grandma's house. It's Shooters brother's birthday today so they having a little get together and told us that we better go" I laughed remembering the phone call with my grandma threatening us if we didn't show up

Honestly it felt nice knowing that I actually had a family who loved us and wanted us included in everything they did. It was still taking time to get used to considering that for so long it was only my brothers and I with my grandparents. That's the only family we had growing up. So now having about a thousand new people in my life is a lot to take in but I'm thankful.

"And you wasn't gonna invite me? Wow" He gasped

"You told me you were going to be busy all day" I shrugged like he could see me finally settling on "Dateline" on NBC

"You know I will drop everything if you asked me to" He said making me smile

"Get yo ass up and ready" Tez interrupted coming in the house

"Well Good morning to you too"

"Good morning Lady bug"He laughed coming over kissing my head "Now get yo ass ready"

"Where are we going at 8 in the morning?" I questioned looking at him just as Dre walked in

"We teaching yo ass how to drive today" Dre tossed me the car keys as he walked passed me and into the kitchen

I smiled at the keys getting excited because I've been bugging them to teach me so I can finally have my freedom. I was tired of always being stuck in the house because I didn't know how to drive so I had no car. And I be too paranoid after everything that happened to ride in Ubers.

"Ya'll really about to trust that girl on the road?" Mir said making me smack my lips

"Polo yo ass just crashed a whip a few nights ago my Nigga. Don't come for my sister" Tez laughed defending me

"Exactly! Tryna come for me but yo ass can barely fucking drive" I laughed

"But you still hop in the car with me so fuck yo ass complaining about?"

"Shut up! But call me when your meeting is over. Let me go get ready before these niggas change their mind" I told him quickly saying my goodbyes before hanging up.

I honestly was just gonna put some shoes on cause I didn't feel like getting all dressed up just to go drive. I had on some black adidas joggers and a plain white Tee.

"Can we get breakfast after? I'm starving" I got up from the couch walking into the kitchen where they both were at

"Yeah we'll grab some on the way home" Dre said closing the fridge turning my way

"You ready to go?" Tez asked looking up from his phone

"Yeah. I just need to put my shoes on but I'll put those on when we leave since they by the door" I told them going to the pantry grabbing the bag of powder donuts taking one out biting it

"Let's go then cause Grandma wants us over there by 3 and it's gonna take us like 45 minutes to get there" Tez said walking out the kitchen with us right behind him.

"Is it gonna be like a formal event or a casual one? Cause I need to know how to dress" I asked sliding my all white ones on grabbing my hoodie off the rack putting it on

"Casual. So you can wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing" Dre shrugged walking out

I nodded my head following him out to the car while Tez locked up

"Am I driving from here or?" I asked so I knew where to sit

"What you think Tez? Should we let her drive out this hoe?" Dre looked over at Tez who looked at me

"Fuck it let her whip out this bitch" Tez shrugged "But you riding in the front with her" He laughed hopping in the back seat

"So it's fuck my life huh?" Dre shook his head walking to the passenger side while I walked to the drivers side

"Y'all stop being mean to me! If I kill us it's only cause y'all some bad ass teachers"I said as I put on my seatbelt.

I started the car looking at all the mirrors seeing if they needed adjusting. Seeing that they did I quickly moved them until they were in the perfect position.

"Okay good start. You think you can get out of here without us telling you anything?" Dre asked

I looked around for a bit debating,

"I think you got this lady bug" Tez said

"I'll give it a shot" I shrugged adjusting my seat cause these niggas was tall as shit.

Once I was able to reach the peddles without a problem I looked around again putting my hand on the gear switching from parked to reverse

Carefully I took my foot off the brake and gently pushed the accelerator backing out. Slowly I backed all the way up turning my wheel when I felt it was the right time.

"Shit you doing good Nahla" Dre said as he looked around making sure my cost was clear as well.

Finally I managed to back all the way out until the street. I switched the gear to drive and pressed the accelerator heading down the street.

Jamir Coleman

"So what do you guys think so far?" Mr.Halls the CEO of Colombia asked as we reviewed over the contract they gave us

"So far everything looks good. He'll be able to handle this music how wants and drop it how he wants with no holding back unless of course issues were to come up. He'll own his masters and it'll be a 4Mil contract" My OG said continuing to read through the contract.

I was glad I brought here because a nigga wouldn't have asked about half the shit she asked for.

"Yes that is correct" The label people agreed

"Wait but there's a condition" She looked at them before looking at me

"What is it?" I leaned over looking at the paragraph she was pointing at

"It says that if you sign we have to move to California within a month of you signing"

"A month? I can't do that. We don't have no money and I have school,friends family and girlfriend out here. I can't just up and move" I told them

There was no way in hell I was going to be able to change my life completely within a month.

"With the moving cost we'll cover everything. You pick the house and furniture and we'll pay for it. No budget. We got the money part covered. The rest it's something you'll need to decide on your own Jamir. But this is a good deal and we'll hate for you to throw it away" Mr.Halls said

"But why do I have to leave though? Like why can't I sign and still stay here?"

"Because your life is at risk here. We looked into yo record and we know that you're a walking target around here. We're only doing this to insure you and your family's safety. I've seen so many artist stay in their hometowns and they end up getting killed or locked up or due to them still being around the same people. Often times they violate the contract and end up blowing everything to continue the street life. We just want a better outcome for you and right now Chicago isn't it" He explained

They weren't wrong because once I sign and people find out I signed everything was going to change and I knew fake friends are bound to come out and try and take me out because of jealousy and my opps are only going to become more determined on taking me out and it's not a lot of places a nigga can run living in the same city or state as them. But then again how was my relationship with Nahla going to work? What was she going to say? Was she going to be okay with it? Fuck man.

"Listen you don't have to sign it right now. We'll give you a few days to go over it and think about it. Call us with your decision on Tuesday. Sound good?" Mr.Halls said snapping me out of my thoughts

"Yeah that sounds good" I agreed

We stood up shaking hands with everyone saying our goodbyes.

The walk to the car was silent because I couldn't even bring myself to say anything. My head was spinning in every damn direction. I've never been so confused. Like I knew I should take it because it's going to give my family and me a better future and even Nahla. I'll be able to get her anything she wants. But that'll mean I will need to leave her.

Getting in the car she pulled off

"Why are you so bummed out? I thought you would be happy to get this deal" She spoke up breaking the silence.

"I'm happy about that but I don't want to leave Chicago mama. This is my home. I have all my peoples here and most importantly I have Nahla but on the other hand I know I need to take it because it'll help us out and you won't stress no more. It'll get us out the hood" I told jer.

"Jamir listen. I don't give a damn about the money. I don't care if I have to work the rest of my life to support you guys. But what I do care about is about what you want and need. If you want to take it then take it and we'll move. But if you don't want to then we can stay here. It's not about the money baby. It's about you. And I know Nahla isn't going to stop you from following your dream. You know that girl has done everything in her power to make sure you become someone in life. And you'll be able to fly out to each other whenever ya'll have time. If you really love each other like ya'll say ya'll do then you guys will make it work"
