I Need To Change

Chapter 7

I sat in the studio, nodding my head to the beat as Shi was in the booth laying down her verse. It was about 8 in the morning and we had been in the studio for about an hour. We were working on our album of-course and I was excited about that. We were almost done with one of our songs which is 'Young Love'. Once I record my verse and Walt do the tweaking, the song would be done.

Even though it was a whole day later, I was still thinking about the other night. After my dad damn near snatched my soul out with his eyes, I went to my room and fell straight to sleep. Luckily when I got up that morning, my daddy was asleep right along with my mama, but I know once I got home that night we are going to have to talk about it and I was so not ready.

I knew my dad was going to get in my behind that night and I honestly didn't understand why. I was grown! 18. Legal! He never was too happy with me dating, but he had to get over it. I was going to date.

"Talkin' on the phone all day. Said there's not a chance that you're going away. (Its that Young Love) Hearts and kisses all up on your IG page. When I see your face, its that Young Love."Shi sung.

I nodded my head while softly singing along. Nae just nodded her head while scrolling through Instagram.

"Alright, that was good Shi. You can come on out."Walter said, while tapping around on the keyboard. Shi nodded her head while placing the headphones back on the stand. She walked over to us with a smile while rubbing her hands together.

"I'm so feeling this song."She let out while sitting between Nae and I.

"I am too."I admitted.

I knew Young Love was going to be a hit and I was honestly ready for the fans to hear it already. I knew if we loved it, they were too.

The doors to the studio opened and in walked Ray and Keisha.

"What up Walt. "Ray greeted while reaching out and giving him dap. I just admired him for a minute. He had on his grey and back Nike joggers with a white tee on, his Jordan Breds. His outfit was pretty simple but, he looked good. Scratch that, he looked fine as hell. Its crazy because Rayan wasn't what I usually went for. He was cute, don't get me wrong, but he wasn't really my type of guy.

"What up yall?"Ray spoke once he was infront of us.

"Hey Ray."Shi and Nae said in unison.

He reached out and hugged them each then they made their way over to Keisha and Walter as he was editing a view things. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arm around my waist, hugging me. I took in his scent, mentally rolling my eyes. A man with a masculine scent was and still is my weakness.

"Hey Ray. "I said, after pecking his lips.

"What up."

He took a seat on the couch and I sat next to him. He had his arm propped up on the couch as the other one rested in his lap. To me, it felt a little awkward. I guess because of the night before. That night I was completely embarrassed. Why did that have to go down like that? Why did my dad have to come as soon as Ray came over though? My unlucky ass. The unexpected always happens to me. Ray low-key lucky my daddy didn't put them paws on him. I know he wanted to. Just off how he had his fist clenched.

"I just want to apologize for last night."I finally spoke.

"My dad's just a little over protective of me."

Ray casually licked his lips with a sly smirk.

"It's good."He let out.

"It would be a lil'off if he didn't say shit."
