" Not yet." His eyes landed on my rob that was slightly opened.
I quickly closed my robe and cleared my throat, " What's happening tonight?" I asked nervously.
"I'm driving to Paisley Park tonight" He blurted out.
The first thing I did was look at him in shock then out of no where I began to laugh.
" What's so funny?" He said looking at me in disbelief.
" You are." I said dying down from my laughter. " Don't tell me you're serious about going to meet Prince." I said as if he was straight up crazy.
" Yeah. I'm dead serious. I don't see why you think I would play about that." He said with an attitude.
I stoped smiling and began to look at him seriously, " Why?"
" I want to go further with my music and i'm doing this for me. I want to get signed and become part of the music industry. I've been dreaming of this forever and something in my heart is telling me now is the time."
" Are you sure about this De. You know your parents don't play that. And on top of that your only 16."
" Yes Lis I'm obviously aware of that. And what do you mean am I sure. I've been thinking about this for a long time." He says getting up. " If you gonna try and talk me out of it then save your breath because I'm leaving."
" No. Please don't go. I'm not doubting you De." I say lowly.
He's never gotten upset with me to the point of leaving. Well when he did get a little mad it was nothing serious and he would always stop his self and apologize before getting angrier.
I get up and walk over to him, " I'm here to support you in any decision you make. Chase your dreams even if it means leaving everyone behind."
I softly gave him a hug hoping he wouldn't pull away.
"Now you're making me feel bad." He said stroking my hair. " I don't know if I wanna leave now." He sighs.
I lift my head up and wipe my tears, " I'm just crying because I'm happy."I say forcing a smile on my face. "I'm not gonna let you pass up this opportunity. If you're trying to back down now it's too late. " I say holding on to his shoulders.
" Okay." He breathes out. " If I get signed I will not forget about you Lisa." He kisses my forehead and pulls me into another hug.
" I hope so." I mumble.
-------------------------------
" You are crazy." I laugh holding my chest.
As the movie came to an end I looked at my clock which now read 6:54 am. We've been up that long?
" De you have to leave soon. My parents will be awake soon." I say lifting my head from his shoulder.
" Already?" He mumbled moving his arm that was wrapped around me.
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing." I sighed. " Well you have something greater waiting for you a few hours away."
" Man I'm gonna miss you and my annoying big headed little brother." He lowly laughed.
" Me too." I say looking down. " You better call me and let me know how you're doing."
" I got you." He laughed as he got up to get his shoes. " I promise."
" Ok De. Don't be breaking no promises."
" I won't I won't" He smiled as he playfully held his hands up in surrender.
