Chapter 14

Carmela entered the rehearsal hall thinking about Jamal. Escaping her life for a brief moment with him was a moment she wanted again, even if it meant pissing some people off.

Now, she was back to the real world and her real life, namely Richard. He was known to take his mini-trips. He’d disappear for a few days, but never without calling her. Carmela hoped she didn’t push him too far this time. The last time he fell off he came back worse than when he left. He left as her father and came back Richard—a colder version of the man she loved. The thought of him become more distant made her ache in ways she couldn’t express.

“Gabriel,” she called once she cleared the doorway, making her way to the stage. The lights were low inside, she blinked to adjust to the contrast. The first thing she noticed was the silence. She tapped her watch, and the screen showed a quarter til one.

“The dancers should still be practicing.” She mumbled. She waited for a response but still heard nothing. She rounded the corner expecting to see the few dancers she kept after the last show, the stage was empty.

“Gabriel.”

“They went to lunch.” She jumped.

“Richard, you scared me.” She froze, placing a hand covered her racing heart. Speak of the devil and he will appear. He stood from a cushioned seat ahead in the front row. She walked to him stopping at the end of the row. “How was your trip?”

“Fruitful.” They hugged, then he pulled a folded sheet of paper from his back pocket. He waved it around like a winning lottery ticket. “I told you I would take care of it.”

“What did you do?”

“I visited a few men I met at the last festival. I have a plan Baby Girl.”

Carmela shook her head, tired of hearing his grand plans. Plans were never the problem. Richard was a good manager, he was a natural charmer, which went well with connecting with people. The problem was execution. He created these master plans and it sent her and Gabriel globe trotting for months on end only for the number to never add up.

“Carmela, don’t give me that look. This is what you’ve always wanted. A multi-city sponsored tour.” Her chest tightened. “See, we don’t need help. You are fresh meat and those guys know a good thing when they see it.”

“What are you talking about Richard?”

“You! They know you are a star Carmela. They want to get on board and take what we’ve worked so hard for. We need to keep their greedy hands off your work.”

“Dad—I mean Richard,” his glare stayed her. “Listening, I called them. It wasn’t the other way around. And what would it hurt to have someone come in and help us get ahold of this situation.”

“Ahold of what? I got it under control.”

“No, Richard, you don’t have it under control.”

“See they’re already getting in your head. Carmela, when you work with those types you’ll sell your soul.”

“Those type of people? What are you talking about?”

“Those suit and tie niggas.
