Save Me ( Keith Powers)

39

Instead of responding she sent me a text of response. I started laughing to myself.

"You text those words to your mother young lady!"

"Shut up!"

I laughed and shook my head and began to play COD.

Ashly
I don't care what Keith says, I am going to that show, I'm going to put on a performance and I will do that choreography with Dwayne and nothing more will happen. Dwayne know and respect the fact that I have a boyfriend and like I said before we're professionals, we know how to keep it on a professional level and not mix business with pleasure.

As I laid on the bed with a pout on my face, I realized that he was tripping about me dancing but he did two sex scenes on Famous in Love, well they weren't really sex scenes but his shirt was off and he was kissing, grinding and grabbing booty.

I got off of the bed and opened the door and stood in the hallway.

"I just realized you're tripping about the dancing but you did sex scenes in Famous in Love and I ain't say nothing about that!" I yelled and then slammed the door.

Before I got into the bed I heard him yell back.

"Kissing and having sex are two different things Ashly!"

"Same difference! You were being intimate and I didn't say nothing!"

A few moments after flipping from channel to channel, Keith came into the room. I threw my head back and sighed loudly then I lifted it up and watched tv.

"Don't do that."

In response I stuck up my middle finger and continued to ignore him.

"We can do that later but we have to talk right now."

"I don't have nothing to say."

"Okay well you just listen and I'll do the talking." He cleared his throat and held my hands in his hands.

"I love you and I do trust you but you have to understand where I'm coming from babe. You're going to be dancing on another dude in a whole different state while I'm here in LA."

"Again have you ever heard of the word professionalism?"

"Yes I have and whether you being professional or not if you're an attractive looking woman that's not going to stop a dude from trying to get with you."

"So what do you want me to do Keith? Sit that performance out?"

"Can you?"

I huffed and groaned as I snatched my hands out of his and got up.

"Okay okay my bad." He sighed and grabbed my hands again. "Look I know how some guys get down and you're a beautiful woman baby from head to toe and I don't want any man trying to take what's mine."

"Keith, they can't take it unless I give it to them, okay? I'm not like these other females that smile up in a man's face and then open their legs just because they get told they're beautiful. I know how to take a compliment and keep on going because I have my eyes on one person and one person only and that one person always gives me compliments all day & everyday. I leaned up to kiss his cheek.

"You have nothing to worry about babe, I'm a professional and I keep my business and pleasure away from each other."

"You sure it's just business?"

"Baby yes. The guy knows that I'm in a relationship and that I'm happy. He even came to me to make sure it was okay if we did it."

He took a few moments before He released a sigh and gave me a response.

"Alright you said it's just business so I'm going to leave the situation alone and trust you."

"Thank you."

"But I will have Dom and Darius recording the performance and step in if they have to."

"Keith no!"

"Why not? They coming to the show anyway."

"Because you know how they are, they exaggerate and make situations bigger than what they really are."

"That's their job Ash. And since I, your man, can't be there your big brothers will be there to protect their little sister from anything and anyone." He bent down to kiss my forehead then he left out of the room.

Keith

I could hear her huffing and puffing like she was mad but she'll be alright. She's lucky I didn't say she couldn't go at all. I know how guys are when they see an attractive female and they don't see her man by her side. I know because I used to be one of those guys and I know how their minds are set up. Ashly is beautiful- inside and out, she's talented and she has an amazing personality and I'll be damned if I let another guy think he can get a piece of what I got.
