I had taken a year off the music scene because my boyfriend at the time said I should, I wonder why I ever gave another person such a major say in my life. Anyways, the break year was over, it was time to launch a 'come-back' so I write a song, got the instruments from the producer and then it happened, it came to me, I would feature two of the towns rappers, it was perfect, they had never been on a song together, they had a Russia vs USA cold war level of tension going on, their styles were different and it will be good for my ego, everyone will talk about it, just what I needed for my big 'COME BACK'. I had never spoken to any of them and didn't know them one on one but I was me, and they were men, I knew I could pull it off clean. I got on the phone with Ali (never mind how I got his number)
"Hey, its Joleeta"
"Oh wow, what a surprise" he answer, awe in his piercing voice.
"I got your number from XYZ, I hope you don't mind" I say, deliberately softening my voice.
"no I don't mind, uh, whats up" he's gathering himself together.
"I need a favor from you, I've got this track Id like for you to jump on, Elite would be on it too, me you and him"
I shoot my bullet
"You me and Elite, uhmmm...okay, send me the beat, I usually don't do this kind of favor but I cant resist being on a track with you so, Im in"
He sounds rather tender, I love it when tough men sound tender
"Awesome, Ill send it to you on BBM"
We round up with some formalities and called Elite too, told him the exact same thing and he was game, wow. I wasn't surprised, just delighted, you cant be surprised when you expect something.
Its voicing day and Im waiting by the road for Ali. he drops from the taxi, oh my goodness, he's all dressed up and the effort paid off, this the first time I'm seeing him, he looks good but Im concerned about his pepper red sneakers. We head up, he voiced his part and we just, chat. I get a call from Elite, he comes upstair to the studio and they greet each other like men do. Elite went straight for the hug, I was going for the handshake but I hugged him, and I felt something, he feels more calm and honest.
"You be powerful woman o, see as you call men come studio under 24 hours" he says in his signature pidgin english style. I'm blushing, I knew what I was doing but its never pleasing for the prey to figure out the predator is a predator, it makes the prey too guarded.
"I thought it would be good to have the top two on my song, think of it as a musical threesome"
What do I just say, why did i say that.
They all look at me, it seems what I said sparked a flame of desire in them, both of them, It wasn't what I was gunning for but it was already out there. I'm a very good girl with wild imaginations, plus I'm a notorious flirt, you have to understand, saying these things to men is natural to me. Ali bows his head and chuckles, Elite is devouring me with his eyes.
"But after the musical threesome I'd want you all to myself" Ali says, as he raises his squinted eyes, glaring straight at me. Elite looks at him sharply, like a wolf who's vixen was being seduced by another man. I laugh a little, was a staring up a beef. Elite says he wants to leave, I walk him downstairs
"I go really wan see you again" he's tenderly holding my hand and fondling my fingers. I'm drawn to his innocence and sincerity.
"Uhm...when?" I ask
"tomorrow, get lecture from 2-4pm"
"Me too"
"I go call you"
"Okay"
See, I told you men always ask me out.
Elite left, his eyes are that of a man on a mission. I walk Ali to the taxi. Later at night he sends me a message, he also wants to see me by 4 tomorrow. Two men, one Joleeta, same time tomorrow Wow, have the hunger games begun?
You can't be surprised when you expect something to happen, I wasn't surprised, just delighted.
...to be continued
