Lala

For the next month and a half I threw myself into working on my book. Nisey was a huge help by reading each chapter as I wrote them. She would give me her ideas and help me catch the errors that I’d made. With the story being loosely based on my relationship with Tre it made me miss him a lot as I wrote and thought about all of the times that we’d shared and memories that we’d made together. A few times I started to pick up the phone and call him but I knew that I was doing the right thing by staying away from him.

It was Saturday night and I had just finished the final chapter of my book. Nisey was sitting on the sofa reading over it. I sat across from her on the loveseat waiting to hear what she thought. The anticipation was killing me! “Hurry up Nisey!”

“Girl, be quiet! I’m reading as fast as I can!” She said without looking up from her laptop.

I needed to do something to take my mind off of the book so I decided to call my mom while I waited for Nisey to finish. I took out my cell and dialed my mom. I got up from where I was sitting and walked into the kitchen. The phone rang several times before my mom picked up.

“Hey baby, I was just lying here thinking about you. How are you doing?” She asked sounding happy to hear from me.

“I am doing great!” I replied excitedly. “Guess what?”

“What? I am too old to be doing a lot of guessing so just tell me!” She laughed. “What are you all excited about?”

“Come on ma…guess!” I whined. I didn’t want to just tell her my good news. That would take all of the fun out of it. I’d told her and my dad about the book that I was working on a few weeks earlier and they’d been thrilled about me writing a book.

“Okay, ummm…you found another job?”

“Nope.”

“Met a rich man?”

I giggled into the phone. “I wish!”

“Met a handsome man with a good job and even better credit?”

“Shoot…I wish but nope!”

“Okay, give me a hint or just tell me already!”

“I finished my book!” I blurted.

“Awww…Lala that’s great!” She sounded just as excited as me.

I heard my dad in the background asking. “What’s great?”

“Lala finished her book!” My mom replied.

“That’s my girl! Tell her that I want an autographed copy and don’t forget about us little people when she becomes a famous author!”

I laughed. “Tell him he will most definitely be getting an autographed copy! Also tell him he doesn’t have to worry about me forgetting anybody because no one will probably even buy this book so there is no way that I will become famous!”

“Oh hush your mouth girl talking that nonsense!” My mom’s voice took on a serious tone. “Don’t speak negative about your project! Speak positive and positive things will happen! Every little thing started out small and became something bigger! Don’t you dare doubt what you can become.
