Special Edition: Moments with Egypt(Ft. Luke James)

“Egypt do you think any of that matters to me? Do you think that the fact, that you’re comfortable enough to allow your guard, down in a new environment is going to make me love you any less? So what I saw you practically naked, it was bound to happen sooner or later. While you may have preferred later, God chose sooner. But baby girl we’re in a relationship, and I see nothing wrong at all. The only thing you need to worry about is me, trying to get at you later. Now can you unlock the door?”Luke asked as he twisted the knob

Once he heard the click, he waited for her to make the first move. He watched as she slowly stuck her head around the door, looking up at him. He smiled at how adorable she looked in his shirt. 

“Luke, that isn’t the image I wanted to give you of me. I don’t want to give you any type of alternative thoughts about being with me."

“Look, at me I don’t know what kind of man you think I am, but I’d be stupid if I let you being a carefree black girl, be the reason why I leave you. There’s nothing wrong with you doing what it is that Egypt does. I’m honestly thankful that I got to see what you were working with, because I was starting to get a little curious. “

“You’re such a goof.”

“Just call me Goofy then. I’ll be as goofy as you need me to be.”

Moment #2

“Baby, it’s late and I don’t wanna be here, so I’m going to go. I don’t want to impose on your studio time.” 

“Where are you doing? How are you getting home?”

“I’ll take a Uber. Nothing serious, really stay record a bit in I’ll see you in a little while. Love you.”

“Love you too. Look are you sure, I really don’t mind you staying.” 

“Luke, I promise I’m fine. Focus on your music. I’ll call you once I’m home. Again, I love you.”

“Alright love you, call me.” Luke mumbled as he watched her walk out the door

“You just gon’ let her leave this late at night? No questions asked. Like that’s it, you’re going to let that piece of fineness walk out of this studio. No questions asked? What the hell did you do? Because she’s always here with you till the early hours of the morning.”

“You know Egypt, she’s a little homebody. I’m sure she really wanted to be home.” 

“Nah, she started her sentence off with, I don’t wanna be here. What the hell did you do? You had to have done something.”

Luke shook, his head as he thought back to things that he could have possibly done. He don’t think he forgot about anything. She hadn’t had any big events this week that, had passed. Then it hit, him. She did have a event that she was hosting, it was a event that was for young African American women. He had missed it….all because he had studio time. That’s why she didn’t want to be in the studio. She was mad.

“Damn, I know what I did. I missed her event. Look I gotta go handle this.”

“I understand, go handle that.”
