I was so drained from the activities that I have been doing with Shang for the past week that I forgot all about taking on a first shift at my job.

I, along with my friend autumn works in a hospital but in the maternity ward.

It was something that I loved and enjoy as music was more like a second hustle for me.

You know that " someday" type of dream.

I knew deep down that music was my heart and passion, but providing warm love, and taking care of infants was also my specialty.

Their mothers was never ever to far from their bundles of joy, so whenever we finish our check ups with them, and get them all clean up and ready that's when the two get reunited.

" so how has the partnership with Shang been going like so far?" Asked autumn as we change the bags that was inside the rooms.

" if you mean how exhausted it is then it very much that. Shang is a good and amazing artist I cant take that away from him, but sometimes I feel as if I just be living in the background"

" of course you don't" added autumn " you just a women who love seeing the success goes to others that you help get to that point. So yes your going to feel exhausted but look on the bright side of things you will make your breakthrough"

I sigh while walking over to change one of the baby diapers as autumn ran a sink bath for another baby.

" I know. It's just that I'm ready for it now it's like I been waiting my whole life."

" speaking of Shang have you told your brother about everything that's been going on?"

I gave her the side eye before she tried to hold her laugh in.

Some of them was fast asleep.

We then walk over to the break room that was made for us to use, that way we was able to keep our eyes on the infants 247 without leaving them unattended for.

" it was like talking to a brick wall he wasn't up for anything that I had to say, so telling him more was going to get even worse so I left it alone"

" oh come on he wasn't that too selfish to not allow you to take that opportunity of a lifetime" she frown.

" well he was, so now we're not on speaking terms but I feel like he'll eventually get over it"

We continue to talk until a buzz from my phone broke our conversation.

" let me guess it's cooper ready to apologize for being an asshole the other day" autumn tease

Nudging her in the arm I picked up my phone and to my surprise it wasn't my brother.

" so who is it?"

My face beam with joy as i read the text from Shang.

Shang~ wassup beautiful I know you said for me to be thinking of more hits to make and I did. But it requires a partner. Meet me at the dancehall downtown. Only if you want too

Then another message ding in.

Shang~ plus I'll really like to see you ☺️

" it's from Shang he wants to meet at a dancehall for another one of his songs that he believe could be another possible hit." I said with so much enthusiasm in my voice.
