Ways Of Love Chapter 7 ’s P.O.V I’m really late! I couldn’t sleep all night having that nightmare where I say “I love you” to the “hurricane”. God, she’s already here... : Hey, Bubba! By the way he’s looking at me I guess she didn’t forgive what I said aboutin Australia. I’m glad he didn’t keep his promise breaking my fingers or my legs. : “The next day I'm with the fellas at the cage playing ball/Here she comes wit her friends they posted up on the wall/Now I'm showing out, trynta dunk trynta dribble break fast/Through the middle just to see her smile and giggle/Game over I approched her wit a kiss on the cheek/The homeboys lookin at me sayin "Lil Howard you weak"/But you know how that go, what I got they want/What I got I flaunt, never mess wit it, please don't/Told her "I'm going home" she asked can she go too/I'm like "Yeah boo, I can't see me without you"/Got thurr, I took a shower jumped out she in the bed/With a see-through thong said I looked at her and said...” I like to hear her rapping. :!! I better tap her shoulder. :! : AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! : Hey! If didn’t dodge you’d have punched me! : You didn’t need to scare me! : Sorry, but I called you and you didn’t hear me. : Ok, you don’t have to tell me the story of your life! Let’s work and put an end at this stupid bad joke! (An Hour Later) ’s P.O.V I swear to God I’ gonna kick’s ass! : Man, this is not working! We don’t even know what we’re gonna write about. : This is not my fault! I gave millions ideas and you said NO to all of them! : ‘Cause they’re stupid. : You’re the stupid here! : Don’t start,. I’m not in a mood for this. I wanna finish this and go back home! : Run to “mommy”? : Stop it, man! I’m sick of this... I’m sick of you! Can’t you leave me alone for one second? : Right now I could be at my house just chilling instead of being here with you! : Probably with a bitch by your side. : I’ve already have one in front of me! : I thought I was the tramp not the bitch! : Whatever! I hate you! : Really cleaver from you! Why don’t we write a song about a tramp whose pimp looks like Orlando Bloom and her gay friend steals him from her? : I guess Orlando Bloom wouldn’t be so stupid to date someone like you! : I can’t believe a girl could actually love you. You’re so... disgusting! : Don’t screw your face to me! Do you think I enjoy look at you? You’re the ugliest girl I’ve ever seen. : If I’m so ugly, why are you always staring at my breasts? : ‘Cause they’re a better view than your face! Bubba: HEY! STOP YOU TWO! ’s P.O.V She has the power of taking me out of my mind! Bubba:, don’t make me regret not keeping my promise. : I won’t Bubba... I’m outta here! This is not going to work! What Johnny was thinking? ’s P.O.V Bubba: Are you ok, kid? : Yes, don’t worry. He’s just a big child. Take me back to the hotel, please. What have I done to him? Did I say something to hurt him? Did I treat him cold? God, please, make this stop ‘cause I can’t take it anymore! (Later At The Hotel) I don’t wanna stay locked in this room anymore, I wanna go out for a walk all by myself! I need to find a way to sneak out without being caught by Bubba. Bubba:, I’m going to lunch. Are you gonna be ok? Do you need something? : I’ll be fine Big B, don’t worry. Bubba: I’ll be right back. This is my chance. I’ll wait for a while and then, I’m free to go! I guess I’ll go to the mall. ’s P.O.V Why do I keep thinking about “hurricane”? I don’t care if I said those things to her, I don’t care about how she feels, all I care is being free from her! I need to clear my mind... I guess I’ll go to the mall. (At The Mall) I’m gonna spend some money and carry on with my life. I wanna be free from “hurricane” this afternoon! (A Few Hours Later) ’s P.O.V I guess I bought enough. I’ll take some ice cream and go back to hotel. A guy: Hey you! : Are you talking to me? A guy: Yeah! Aren’t you Jay? Yes, I am. A guy: Could you give me your autograph? : Sure! A guy: Thanks. I have a question. : Go on. A guy: What Nelly’s lil’ girl’s doing all alone in London? : What?! A guy: I see that your bodyguard’s not wit ya. : What do you want? ’s P.O.V I’m going home. I’m sick of shopping. Great! “Hurricane” is here... she seems to be scared or something. Nevermind, it’s not my business. ’s P.O.V I made a mistake going out without Bubba. A guy: I think that maybe you could give a message to your boss. Oh my God, he has a pocketknife! Now I know I did something stupid. A guy: You better come with me, shorty. ’s P.O.V The guy’s holding her arm and’s getting pale... I know I’m gonna regret it later but I’m gonna do something. :! I finally found you! : Hi... : Oh... what was I thinking, nice to meet you, I’m. A guy: Well, I’m leaving. : So soon? Don’t you wanna have a coffee with us? A guy: No, it’s ok. Send my regards to Nelly. ’s P.O.V The guy’s leaving thanks to. THANKS TO?!?! : Are you ok? : Yeah... thanks. : What was that? : A long story. I need to go back to the hotel. : I give you a ride. I can’t believe he’s being nice to me. What happened? (At The Hotel) : Thanks,. : No problem, babe. Nelly: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? : Calm down Nelly. Nelly: CALM DOWN?! SHE KNOWS SHE’S NOT SUPOSE TO BE ALONE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? : Hey, stop yelling! Is not her fault, it's mine! What the hell is he talking about? What the hell is he doing? Nelly/: WHAT?! : After our fight at the studio I wanted to apologize to her and invited her to go shopping with me, she accepted and said that Bubba had to come along but, I wanted to talk to her alone and kinda made her sneak out. Nelly: Is it true, shorty? I can’t believe he’s actually doing this. Is he out of his mind? : Y...yeah, Nelly. Nelly: Did you put your differences behind? : Of course we did. Tomorrow we’re gonna meet again and you and Johnny will be surprised with our song. Isn’t it,? : Yeah. We’re gonna work with no problem. Nelly: Go to your room, we’ll talk later. : Let me help you with your stuff. Or God answered my prayers or an alien took over his body. He’s actually being nice to me. ’s P.O.V I don’t know but, I wanted to protect her. I guess she’s been locked in her room and followed by Bubba for such a long time that I’m feeling sorry for her. : Thanks for everything. : It was nothing. I saw you needed help so I helped. : Do you wanna come in? Should I? : Ok. Since the day I met her I’ve never been in any of the rooms she stayed. : You can put this bags over there... have a seat, I’m gonna wash my face. I guess I’d never say that but, I’m feeling comfortable with her. I don’t know why I’m seeing her from a different point of view. : Are you sad for not going back home? : Kinda... I really miss St. Louis but I know I have to fix everything wrong I’ve done around here. My job must come first... : Is normal to miss home. I miss my family all the time and believe me, as time goes it doesn’t get easier. : I know... we’re nothing without the support of a lovely family. Do you wanna a beer? : Sure. What an answer! I’m speechless... : Thank you... so, what was that at the mall? : Nelly doesn’t have the best reputation in St. Louis ‘cause he used to deal with some illegal stuff and many guys there are jealous ‘cause he got famous so, once in a while, one of them appear to say “hi”. : But having the trouble coming to UK just to say “hi” is too much. : Maybe that guy’s from here... you know Nelly, he doesn’t keep his mouth shut. : Just like you. : Yeah... just like me. She’s smiling... have I ever said that I like the way she smiles? ’s P.O.V It’s unbelievable!and I are having a real conversation! : Now I see why Bubba’s always around. : I don’t wannna end up like 2Pac Shakur or Notorious B.I.G. I love my life and I’m too young to be six feet under. I wanna live at least ‘till I get your age...isn’t it? : Yeah... I’m getting old. : Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself, grandpa! : Ok, not that old. : Sorry. : Can I ask you something? : Sure. : What’s your real name? : You’re gonna laugh. : I promise I won’t. : Ok... my real name is. : Is a beautiful name. Girlie and beautiful. : Back in St. Louis I’m known asnot. : Who came up with your stage name? : Nelly... I guess is a good thing ‘cause leave my private life far from the success. : I hope you can manage it. : Me too. : Are you tired? : No, why? : We could work in our song, what do you think? : I think is a great idea. I’m enjoying being with him.’s nice, funny... (An Hour Later) : I guess it’s going well. : Yeah, we’re great together. ’s P.O.V Do you think that too? * KNOCK KNOCK * : Come in! Nelly: I came here to talk to you and... hey! What are you doing here? : We were working in our song. Nelly: Really?! : Really! I have to say it’s pretty good, isn’t it? : Yes, it is. Nelly: I’m glad you’re getting along well though it sounds weird. Did you finish it? : That’s what I was going to talk to you about. Nelly: What’s the matter? :and I have to finish the song and here, we can’t. So, he had an idea. Nelly: Will I like this idea? : I thought we could finish it at my place ‘cause there’s a piano there and we could work better than at the studio. : What do you say? : Bubba can come too. Nelly: Ok, you can go to his place tomorrow and there’s no need for Bubba to go ifpicks you up and brings you back. : I’ll take care of her, I promise. : Nelly... you’re sounding like my father when meets a new boyfriend of mine! Did she say boyfriend? Wait! I don’t wanna send her any wrong message. : Well, it’s getting late. I have to go now so, I come to pick you up around 1pm, ok? : Ok, see you tomorrow. (Later At’s House) : Hey! What brings you here? : Something weird happened today. : What? :and I had a fight this morning... : There’s nothing weird about it. : Can I please go on? : Of course! : Thanks! Anyway, after the fight I met her at the mall and spent the whole afternoon with her chatting and working in our song. : Are you sick or something? What happened to you start acting nice with her? : It's a long story. Everything began at the mall... (Minutes Later) : It’s insane! It means she’s in danger walking around with Nelly. : She has Bubba. The guy won’t let anything happen to her. : Are you liking her? : Is not I’m liking her, I feel comfortable with her. We can talk about anything and laugh, is just... I mean,’s a great girl. : Finally you’ve opened your eyes! Too bad is too late ‘cause’s leaving soon. : I don’t know why I was judging her. : I know... : Don’t start, ok? : Fine! (On The Next Day) 12:45 and I’m on my way to meetat the hotel and I hope we don’t fight today. I need to listen some music... (“It's seven o'clock/On the dot/I'm in my drop top/Cruisin' the streets - Oh yeah/I gotta real pretty, pretty little thang that's waiting for me/I pull up/Anticipating good love/Don't keep me waitin’/I got plans to put my hands in places/I never seen girl you know what I mean...”) “Nice & Slow”... I love this song. It makes me feel things I could never imagine ’s P.O.V (“Like a movie scene/In the sweetest dream/I have pictured us together/Now to feel your lips/On my fingertips/I have to say is even better/Than I ever thought it could possibly be/ It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free/From all of my sadness/The tears that I've cried/ I have spent all of my life...") Murphy Lee: Jennifer Lopez? The case is serious! : What are you talking about? I like this song and you know it! Murphy Lee: Unfortunately you’re the only eclectic rapper in the world. : Shut up, Murph. Murphy Lee: Where are you going? : To’s house. We’re gonna work there today. Murphy Lee: Is Bubba taking you? : No, I’m waiting for. He’s on his way to pick me up. Murphy Lee: That’s the reason for “Waiting For Tonight”. : Do you know you have a pregnant mind? Murphy Lee: I’m a guy, I can’t get pregnant. Didn’t you go to school? * KNOCK KNOCK * : Come in! : Hey! Are you ready? : Hi and yes, I am. Bye,Murph! Murphy Lee: Have fun you two. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do... or don’t do anything I would. : Funny boy! Sometimes I wish Murph could be dead but then I realize how much I love him and need him by my side. (In’s Car) : Well, I hope we can make a good job today. : If we could do an awesome song I guess the press would stop bothering us with what happened in Australia. ’s P.O.V God, she’s crossing her legs... look at those legs! When “hurricane” got those legs? : Can I turn on the radio? : Sure! She smells so good! : I love this song. “... I wanna make it like a dream for you/Turn every fantasy into the truth/You know I'll take it anywhere that you wanna go right now/Just to love ya for a little while...” I know I said she’s a teaser but to tell the truth, I love her kid’s way ‘cause it’s not something she created, is just her being herself. : Do you like Janet Jackson? : Yeah! When I was younger I always pretended to be her. Come on,! You don’t have to pretend to be her, you’re already sexy in your own way. (At His Place) : Come in and make yourself at home. : Thank you! : Feel free to do whatever you want. : Can I take off my sneakers? : Sure,. :?! : If you don’t mind. : Of course not, I like my name. : Ok... is hot today. : Yes, it is. ’s P.O.V He’s taking off his shirt and you know what? Looking him at this angle, he’s really handsome.... : Let’s work? : Yeah, sure. (Hours Later) The song is good. I guessshirtless playing the piano is inspiring me... ’s P.O.V She’s working so hard and I’m here thinking about a way to unzip her white little jacket and take off her baggy short. : I guess this is it! : What? : The song is ready and perfect. : Yes it is. Two think better than one. : But I’m tired anyway. : Do you want me to take you back to the hotel? : Please! But first I need to wash my face. : Sure, second door on the right. : I’ll be right back. I don’t want her to go, I just want her! I don’t know what to do but I have to do something... I’m gonna wait her outside the bathroom. To Be Continued...
