I CHOOSE YOU

Kaniah

Unintentionally, we fell into a flow and all was right in my world. Lyrically, my talent was expanding. I was testing boundaries, trying new tempos and topics, heavily inspired by the newfound companionship I’d found in Cartez.

Since he’d booked me at The Palm a month ago, he’d developed a place not only in my personal life but my professional career as well. Cartez wouldn’t allow me to officially hire him, but the job as my manager was his. The way he positioned me for growth was so fucking sexy. He was scheduling studio time and helping me plan out my first album, bookings, and brand deals. His eye for the work required was impeccable.

I was giving Twan the cold shoulder. If he brought me a suggestion, I would run it by Cartez first. He continually proved he had my best interest at heart. I’d yet to tell Twan about my budding relationship with Tez. Not after the way he came at me that one day. By putting his hands on me, he’d betrayed my trust. We were hardly around each other anymore. And most surprising of all was I didn’t miss his presence that much. So, for now, the chasm between us remained in place.

Thankfully, even with his lack of presence, I made good, consistent money. Cartez delegated tasks, allowing me more time to focus on my music. He’d even gone as far as hiring a new security guard. From the first shift Netty worked, I sensed the difference in his reverence for me. He was willing to die to protect me. A major difference between Twan’s homeboys.

I still remembered the day Cartez told me he was hiring a new security guard. We were cuddling on his couch. He’d just booked me an interview with a well-known podcaster and radio personality in Rosewind. The night before, I had a quick appearance at a bar called Unknown. When I arrived, supporters surged forward. Men and women alike invaded my personal space. Cartez literally became my personal bodyguard because those other niggas weren’t moving into place quick enough. No matter what I said, Cartez seethed for the rest of the night.

By the time I woke up, he was wide awake and working on a solution. After I’d cuddled underneath him, he told me he’d called to fire both of them and had hired Netty in their place.

He told me, “Protecting you is my responsibility. I can’t be your man and allow your person to ever be put in jeopardy. If you’re good, so am I. If you’re not, we have a fucking problem and I’m going to war over anybody about you. Let me do this for you. It’ll help not only my sanity, but yours, too. I know you’re tired of always defending yourself. I got you covered on all sides, baby.”

We fucked after that, and I loved every second of it. Cartez was more than I could hope for in a man. He stood on his morals so firm, he wasn’t folding for anybody.
