《Girls Need Love》Chapter 24: Ignorance Is Bliss
Advertisement
After our day together I was back on a plane to Miami to finish the shoot. I definitely upset with the situation anymore, and Travis made sure to leave a lasting reminder on why I'm so in love with him. I definitely felt irrational once we talked about it. Travis didn't agree though. He felt like he should've done more and I appreciate him for that.
As soon as I landed I was back in work mode and on the set. I fought through feeling sick and nauseous to finish the shoot. Payton tried to convince me to go back to the house and rest because he was sure I was sick from the back to back traveling but I knew it was just in my mind. Plus Dave had to go back home so I didn't have anyone to be with if I went to the house.
After the shoot, Chris and I did go get some food for everyone and had a game at the house. I made rules of no smoking at the house so they were drinking and playing while I was just laying on the couch watching. Chris eventually sat down with me and I fell asleep laying in his lap while he rubbed my hair.
I woke up when everyone was asleep in random spots on the floor. Chris had moved to the floor in front the couch. I appreciate that he stopped making passes at me. I took the moment to send a message to Travis explaining that I was sick. I knew he was sleep but I missed him.
I've been super busy with work since the party. New contract and old were on me for business and it was exciting. Today though, I was picking up Micah from the airport. She's been sick a lot since she left back to Miami a couple days ago but she refuses to rest.
I parked and got out headed inside to fine my baby. I wasn't prepared when she run up and jumped on my back. I laughed putting her door so I could get my hug then her bags. We headed to the car talking about the videos.
"I'm glad everything went well baby"

"Thanks babe" she sighed "I feel really good today. I think I just missed you and being at home"
"You sure you don't want to go to the doctor"
"Nahh I'm good. Plus we are opening in two weeks so Carmen and me on the ball"
"Baby---"
"You'll be busy so you won't even notice I'm just as busy" she laughed "I'm good"
"But you don't know how to rest. I know how to leave work and chill. Like today"
She sighed and looked at me "I hate it when you're right"
"So what you gone do?"
"I already sent Carmen the text. So you and I are having a best friend's day!"
I smiled at her before leaning over and giving her a kiss. Best friend days have been apart of our relationship since the night of the Halloween party. We spent the day eating and having fun. We got food first before heading to the tattoo shop to see Ralph.
As soon as we walked in, we stopped seeing Ralph talking to Dave and Chris Brown. They were laughing until they noticed us.
"What the hell are yall doing here" Micah asked laughing
"You bragged about your brother being the dopest artist alive" Chris spoke "and I told you I wanted some new ink so Dave brought me here"
"That's crazy" she hugged Chris then Dave "Yall really get bored and hop on planes"
"Something like that"
She shook her head before coming back to me.
"Oh baby this is Chris. Chris this is my boyfriend Travis"
"The famous Travis" he shook my hand "Your lady here talks about you none stop"
"I do not!" she blushed
"If Chris Brown is calling me famous you must be talking about me" I kissed her "Missed me that much"
"Maybe a little"
"What yall doing here anyway" Ralph shook his head at our PDA "I enjoy not seeing you two tonguing each other down"
"We just kicking it so I decided to come check on my brother that I haven't really seen in two freaking weeks"
"Man you don't miss nobody"
"I do!"
"Yeah yeah yeah" he pushed her "That's cute and whatever"

They all kept talking as I sat down. Chris, Ralph, and Micah went to the back. I could hear Micah joking with the other artist while helping around some. I smirked watching her walk from room to room. I didn't notice Dave had sat down as well.
"You made her really happy you know?"
"I try to" I sighed
"Just know she really loves you my guy. Sunshine knows I always got her back but I can tell you got her heart like nobody else. Like a best friend... like her man... I've been there threw a lot with Micah. She deserves to be happy with you. Don't forget that"
"Why you telling me this?"
"I know she's scared"
"Of what?"
"It not working out. You turning out like the others ones"
"That won't happen though"
"You say that now... but when love is truly tested... you don't know how you're going to react. Trust me. That's why I'm not with my daughters mother now"
"You got a daughter?"
"My whole world" he showed me his screensaver "And her mom was the love of my life... shit she still is. She help me heal a lot from shit I didn't even realize was fucking with me. But she couldn't handle the test thrown at us. So she walked away"
"Damn..."
"It's not all on her though. She came back around... but I couldn't trust her anymore. So I left what we had in the past.... forever"
"I understand that"
"Just trust me when I say, Micah loves you. She might run and fight it sometimes, but that's just the fear. Don't let that fear take her from you"
"Thanks Dave"
We shook hands right when Micah was coming out.
"My two out of my three favorite guys getting along!"
"Better be three" Ralph yelled from the back
"Anyway" she pulled me up "Call me before you fly out DJ but we gotta go"
"Alright sis"
The shook hands before we headed out. We spent the rest of the day at my place eating pizza, wings, and junk food while watching movies and playing video games... and fucking. It was amazing how the more time we spent together, the more I loved her.
David sat in the back office with Tiara going over the pictures and videos of Micah with Chris and Dave. The seal of the deal was the voice clip of Micah and Chris talking about meeting up. Tiara got it while Chris was helping her write a duet. David was excited to put the plan into motion.
David was cool with most of the dancers so it was not unrealistic that someone would give him this information. He called Khari to meet him at his office. He left with the information he needed to end it all.
Khari was the happiest for all this. She had been doing everything to get Travis back but as soon as Micah came into the picture he stopped responding to her. She walked in and locked the door smiling.
"So what did she get"
"Everything! This is going to be so fucking easy"
"But he still doesn't talk to you"
"Already covered"
"What?"
"I'm going to tell Tim and ask him what to do with the information. I'm going over there hell distraught about it so Olivia and him can here it. Live will tell their mom and you know she's going to go off. Tim probably will convince him to talk to me"
"David this is brilliant!"
"Everything's going to be back to normal Kay"
"That bitch won't know what hit her"
Khari smiled before leaving and heading to meet her mother. Her mother had no idea Khari was planning to ruin Travis' relationship but she would've supported her the same. Khari just wanted Travis back.
David on the other hand just wanted to ruin Micah's life. He really did love her and could stand seeing her happy with someone else. It was satisfying to know that she would be back to the same miserable woman he saw her as. He knew he'd never get Micah back but he also knew she loved Travis and would never get to be with him after this.
Tiara was the patsy of it all. She was angry with Micah but her intention wasn't to hurt her. She just blamed Travis for her friend changing. She thought if he was gone she'd get her best friend back. She knew she was wrong but she couldn't stop now.
The one thing they all knew: the minute David left his office shit was hitting the fan.

Moonshot
Gregarious businessman Evin Tumble is fascinated by the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a low-orbiting moon. Specifically, he's interested in shooting it down with a giant cannon. The moon is only about eight miles overhead, but it's high enough and quick enough that nobody can reach it by balloon or airship. He hires our protagonists: taciturn Iseult Morrin, cheerful Sean Whelan, and nervous Íde Ceallaigh, to help him with his obsession. As our heroes are dispersed across the continent to perform tasks for Tumble, and the moon-hunt draws closer, they become increasingly suspicious of their benefactor's motives and true nature. Moonshot is a story centred around struggling with confidence, the difficulty of being an immigrant, and the duality of truth, all clad in the trappings of an urban fantasy. It is character-driven, from the heart, and based on tropes and ideas that are missing from a lot of contemporary fantasy (a push beyond the flawless-yet-somehow-still-needs-rescuing-by-an-oafish-man heroine trope, a touch of cosmic magic based on the shared geometries of Celtic and Arab art).
