April 2, 1983

"Are we gonna just sit here in silence or you girls gonna tell me what's been going on? you haven't said a word since we've entered this room" Our manager Charlotte starred at us waiting for us to talk but we didn't, she pinched the bridge of her nose sighing

"Ask Erika since we're not her sisters" Tina spoke up crossing her legs twirling the pen, Charlotte brows pinched together looking at Tina and Erika with confusion "Nah Char ask those two"

"What's going on?" Charlotte asks moving her eyes at me, I held a blank expression on my face "Well Miss Erika James claims that she's done with us because we don't support her sleeping around with a married man." I glared at Erika kissing my teeth with my tongue

"Erika is this true? you know this is bad for your image and the group-"

Tina cut Charlotte off "Char she don't care! No matter what you say to her she'll push past it! if she wants to screw up her image that's on her I don't care no more she says we're not her sisters than aye" She interrupted "Okay so It's okay for Angela to mess her image up and get pregnant at eighteen?!" Erika rolled her eyes scoffing "These hoes are not my sisters. I'll come around just for the music and that's it other than that leave me alone"

"I had enough of your shit Erika! you sound like a jealous ass bitch right now! is that really how you've been feeling for the past years?!" I threw my pen at her getting out of my seat "Jealous of what exactly?!"

"Don't play so damn clueless Erika! what the fuck have I ever done to you?! I looked up to you as my sister and you really want to end that bond because we want what's best for you!" My throat became numb along with my body, my eyes were hot filled with tears threatening to fall "I can't take this anymore" I grabbed my book bag storming out the conference room

3OU newest album began playing over the speakers. The song I wrote for us was playing referring to the bond we shared as friends, the employees seen me walking down the hall sending me applause and smiles. I nodded my head thanking them before pushing the elevator button.

Once the doors opened I walked inside ready to push the close button but someone stormed in quickly. It was a man leaning against the wall catching his breath with a lot of papers in his hand. I was getting worried "Are you okay? do i need call for help?" I asked

When he turned his head to face me I was taken back by who it was. "No Im okay. Have you been crying?" He pointed his finger towards my eyes, I frowned feeling embarrassed wiping my eyes looking away "Whatever it is don't let it get to you" He said

"Thank you" I responded lowly "You're Heaven Ange from 3OU right?" He asked me "Yes."

"Well I came here to discuss business with you. I saw you leave the conference room so I chased you down here to ask you if you wanted to act in this upcoming movie" He flashed me smile, I looked at the papers than back him "Do you know that I'm carrying a baby right?" I furrowed my eyes at him

"I am very aware of that"

I was taking back from this opportunity and from who he was but my mind has been rushing everywhere. It's a really good opportunity to do and who could turn him down? but i'll take it into consideration

"I'll think about it and when i do i'll give you a call" I told him before walking out the elevator to go outside, I seen Michael leaning against the car waiting for me. I smiled warmly looking at him, he came up to me cupping my face plastering me with a lot of kisses

"So that's what happened at the office?" Randy asked me and Tina with widen eyes filled with shock. We both nodded, we both were getting tired of Erika acting like this when all we want to do is help her.

Hours has passed by quickly, we are at the jackson's residence eating Mama Katie's special spaghetti dinner with fried fish. I was on my second plate stuffing my face with the food and taking some of Michael's.

"Ange if you keep on taking his food he'll forever be skinny" Jackie joked, I giggled looking at Michael. He glared at the both of us "I'm sorry baby" I poked my bottom lip out then went back to laughing "Get off my plate" He scooted his plate away from me

"Hey Angela you've been reading that packet since you gotten back home. What is it?" Janet asked me, I was curious about the movie so I was looking at the first two scripts "Oh someone had asked me to star in a movie so i got curious and looked through it but I don't know" I shrugged "I'm thinking about accepting the offer but i don't know"

"What!" Everyone at the table shouted looking at me with widen eyes "Someone asked you to star in a movie!!?" Janet was more excited than me when i was the one being asked to star in it

"Yeah. He practically chased me all the way to elevator to offer me the lead female role the movie is a musical" I twisted my fork to get my spaghetti not really caring about the situation "Who asked you?!" Tina leaned forward

"Prince." I ate my spaghetti and grabbed another scoop. The table went dangerously quiet, I looked around seeing their faces then looked at Michaels "You're not starring in that movie." He said sternly

"What? I never gave him an answer to begin with but if i did why not?" I looked at him up and down, his body language and mood was different it was a different kind of jealousy

"Hold up you're telling me Prince was at our company? the person concert who i dragged you to? well damn" She said shocked "You went to his damn concert?" Michael clenched his fist

"I was only there because she dragged me and it there was a band i liked performing after him. I don't know the man so why are you acting like this?" I scrunched my brows looking at him wondering why he was so against it "I don't care. You're not acting in his movie Angela and that's that"

"Hold up. Michael I know you're not jealous?" I scoffed looking at him "Jealous of that girl?" He chuckled deeply licking his lips "You're being childish." I rolled my eyes

"Angela i'm not playing your not starting in his damn movie!" He looked at me with cold eyes grinding his teeth and scolding brows

"You can perform in a movie with Ross but i can't with Prince" I mumbled under my breath going back to eating my food "What was that?" He got closer to hear my slick remark

"If you have to ask me that then you heard me perfectly fine."

"Please stop arguing you two. It's just not you" Mama Katie pleaded looking at the both of us, "I'm done eating. Excuse me" I finished the rest of my food, getting out of my chair to wash my dishes
