A couple hours later, the same day

Mahlani

I woke up to a door slamming. I jumped up and I saw Ken walk in the room with an angry expression on his face. I instantly tensed up and got scared. Maybe he saw the post of OVO announcing me as the new artist?

"Babe whats wrong?" I asked Kenneth quietly.

"Coach C is benching me for this weeks game." He said throwing his bag down making me jump. I sighed with relief silently and I watched as he sat at the end of the bed. I crawled towards him and I stood up on my knees wrapping my arms around him.

"Baby it's okay, it's just one game. Don't stress over it." I said kissing his cheek. He sighed and put his head down.

"I'll try not to stress over it." Ken said picking his head back up. I kissed his cheek again.

"So, I um did something today." I said nervously.

"What did you do?" Ken said turning around and facing me.

"I, uh got a interview at OVO Sound and I took it and they signed me to their label and now I'm an artist." I said quickly closing my eyes preparing to get hit. I waited a couple of seconds and opened my eyes seeing Ken stare at me with a raise eyebrow.

"Umm congratulations." He said getting up and scratching his head. I was not expecting him to take the news like that at all. I thought he was going to turn into the Hulk and beat my ass. I smiled and did a little dance. I was happy I could finally start making my own money. I grabbed my phone and saw the shaderoom reposted the group picture from earlier.

@theshaderoom: Roomies! Looks like @queenmahlani is about to start doing big things out here👀

I giggled and liked the post. I stretched and laid down on the bed. I decided I wanted to go get my nails and toes done but I didn't want to go alone.

"KEN!" I yelled from the bathroom while fixing my hair. I heard footsteps and Ken came to the bathroom door.

"Yes?" He answered.

"Can you come to the nail shop with me? Please?" I asked poking out my lip. He chuckled before answering.

"Fine." He said. I smiled with excitement. I placed on some joggers and flip flops. Even though it was cold outside I didn't want to wear the cheap ones they gave you at the nail shop because they always ended up breaking for me as soon as I put them on I walked out the room and placed on my leather jacket. I grabbed my keys off the counter and I waited on Ken to finish doing what he was doing. About 5 minutes later he finally walked out the guest bedroom. I tossed him the keys. I walked out the door and walked to the passenger side of my car I got inside while Ken locked the front door. He then went to the drivers side and got inside. He backed out the driveway and he took me to the nail shop I always went to. He knew me so well and I loved that about him. Once we arrived about 10 minutes later I got out and waited on Ken to get out. We walked on the inside and we were greeted by the man at the front desk. This nail shop that we came to, was a black based shop. Everybody here was so sweet and caring. I loved supporting my people.

"What can I do for you guys today?" He said smiling.

"Two pedicures and one full set." I said catching Ken off guard.

"Right this way." He said guiding us to two available pedicure chairs. We both sat down and he gave us two menus on what kind of pedicures we could get. I decided on the Deluxe and Ken got the same as me since he didn't know the difference.

"I knew you were going to trick me into getting a pedicure with you." Ken said smacking his lips playfully. I laughed and grabbed his hand.

"You'll be fine, this is just our time to hang out and get out of the house together as a couple." I said smiling. He smiled back at me and leaned over giving me a kiss.
