Opposites Attract

Chapter 3

When I woke up the next morning, Amir and the two big men who were passed out on the floor lastnight were gone. I assumed that he had taken them home. They was the only thing that changed in the living room. Everything else was in the same place as it was the night before. I wasn't cleaning it up. Amir knew better than that. He knew never to ask me to clean up after him and his friends on a game night. I was just about to make myself a breakfast smoothie when I heard the door open. My eyes squinted and darted towards the door. In walked Amir with the same clothes he had on last night. He smiled when he saw me and walked over to me.

"Please don't touch me." I waved him off and poured protein powder into my smoothie and pressed blend. 

 "What's the problem now?" He asked me.

"You need to take a shower. That's the problem." He sniffed his under arm and frowned. 

"You right." He started stripping off his clothes once he got into the living room. Five minutes passed and I still didn't hear the water running. I went into the living room in hopes to see "who was NOT the father" on Maury today. Instead, I saw Amir butt naked on the couch playing Madden.

"Are you serious?" I asked him and sat down next to him.

"You like it." He winked at him.

"You smell." I pretended to gag and walked into the kitchen. "Go take a shower right now!" I yelled to him. 

He got in the shower thirty minutes later and went to sleep right after. So much for him and I spending time together today. He slept until about 9:00pm. He only woke up to check his emails and text messages. He had a gig tomorrow, opening up for some upcoming singer name Shante. She was supposedly some young singer from San Francisco. There was a dress rehersal happening tomorrow night and she show was Friday. I told him to get three tickets for me and the girls. After that he went back to sleep. 

This week was going by really fast. I spent a lot of time going on go-sees and open model castings. Friday had come so fast that I almost forgot about Amir's show. I rushed home, took a shower and changed into something casual. A pair of skinny black slacks, a see through white blouse, a black leather jacket, a chunky scarf and some nude Steve Madden pumps. I topped it off with an over sized Louis Vuitton bag. When I got there Amir was just about to perform. Diamond and Asia were already there. I sat next to them and watched him perform his single "Open Ya Eyes". Everybody cheered and applauded. What I didn't expect was him and Shante to perform a song together. It was called "All on You" It was actually a good song, but the performance got steamy. I kept getting glances from Asia and Destiny, but I didn't look their way. I kept my eyes glued to the performance and pretended not to care. When the performance ended, I went back stage and congratulated him. I wanted to tell Shante how good she did but she was nowhere to be found. 

"Are you going home to rest?" I asked him. 

"Yeah man. I've been up since four this morning!" He placed his mic in a box and sat down in his dressing room.

"You did good. I'm proud of you." I sat on his lap and as I placed a kiss on his lips Shante walked into the room.

"Iman, this is Shante." I smiled at her and told her how good the performance was. She didn't seem phased, as if she had heard it many times. 

"Thanks." She grabbed a bottle of water and walked out of the dressing room.

"What was that about?" I asked Amir. 

"Maybe she's just tired?" He tried to cover up for her. 

He wrapped his arms around me and started to kiss me when the door knocked.
