insisted.
“ I’m listening.”
“I’m so in love with you, Mrs. Chatman. I want you and me to grow together and last forever – sharing, loving, and building both in love and in spirit. Thank you for being my virtuous woman.”
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing.”
He kissed her softly on the forehead. “And that you are, my love.”
CHAPTER SEVEN
“Good morning, beautiful. How’d you sleep?”
“I slept alright how ‘bout you?”
“After listening to you snore and watching you sleep for about an hour…umm, I slept alright.”
Denise pushed him to the other side of the bed.
“I don’t snore.”
“Yes, you do and I have the voice memo to prove it.”
“You recorded me snoring? Oh, it’s on now! You have officially waged war mister.”
“Now, wait a minute, Denise.”
“‘Wait a minute, Denise?’”
“I did it all in fun.”
“Well, I’m glad I was able to be your comic relief for the morning.”
“Can you do it every Friday? We can theme them Fun Friday’s. That would be off the chain!”
Denise threw the cover aside. “I’m going to shower.”
“Want some company?” DJ smiled.
“You are a piece of work,” Denise replied.
“So, what does your schedule look like for today? You think we can do lunch later?” He asked once the shower was over. DJ stood in front of the mirror and brushed his teeth.
“Um, I don’t know, hun. I have a couple of meetings this morning and I’m not sure how long they’ll run. I can let you know around 11:30. Is that enough time?”
“Yea, that’s cool.”
“What about you? You have a lot going on at the studio?”
“No, not really. I’m going to work on some tracks and maybe do a few mix tapes, but that’s it.”
“Have you heard back from Mrs. Scott yet?”
“Nope.
“Well, I’m sure she’ll call you soon enough. If you made as good of an impression on her as you do everyone else, you have nothing to worry about.”
DJ walked to the bedroom and began to get dressed.
“It’s not that I’m worried. I believe she’ll call . It’s the when ,” he dragged. “But I totally agree with you, my love. She’ll call soon enough. Okay, babe, I’ll see you later,” he said as he grabbed his keys from the dresser. “I love you.”
Denise wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly on the lips.
“I love you more.”

Jonathan met DJ at the front entrance of the studio.
“Hey what’s up, Jay? Is everything alright?”
“Kane is upstairs in the lobby.”
“Okay.”
“No, you don’t understand, D. He looks bad, dawg.”
“Bad?”
“Yeah, he reeks of alcohol and I honestly doubt that he’s taken a bath in days. He looks BAD ,” Jonathan stressed.
“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to him and see what’s going on. I’m sure everything is straight.”
They took the elevator up to the studio.
“ Kane! What’s up? What are you doing here, man?”
“ D, I need to talk to you on the real. I know what you said,” Kane slurred as he stumbled forward.
“Whoa…hold on bruh. Look, let’s go into the lounge and sit down so we can rap.”
“Naw, I’m good. I don’ t need to sit down,” Kane stated waving DJ off.
“ Okay. Well, let’s go into my office so we won’t disrupt the flow of business.”
Kane snickered. “Yeah, so we won’t disrupt the flow of business.”
“Come on.” DJ placed his hand on Kane’s shoulder and escorted him down the hallway to his office.
DJ sat down in his chair while Kane stood by the window.
“ Kane, what’s going on with you man? What are you doing here?”
“I messed up. I really messed up bad, man. I needed money and I needed it quick.”
“ Kane, I told you that I’m not getting caught up in nothing I didn’t play a part in.”
“I know, I know. You don’t have nothing to worry about. I handled it.”
“You handled what?”
“I
