Ch. 17
The tears kept streaming down Gypsy's face as she quickly drove home. As she pulled into her driveway, she turned the car off and sat in silence. In a complete daze, she couldn't belive what just happened. Everything he and Pretty Boy had been through, down the drain in one instance. All by the doings of the on person she trusted. Wayne. And to top it off, h decides to tell her that he's in love with her.Finally deciding to get out the car and go in the house, she walks up the stairs straight into her room. Sixx follows suit right behind her, wagging his tail. Gypsy places her stuff on her bed and walks to the bathroom. While in there, she turns on the shower. Walking out, Sixx begins to wimper. He knows something is wrong with Gypsy. She bends down to pick him up and give him a kiss.
Placing him on the bed, she gathers a big t-shirt and shorts to sleep in and walks back into the bathroom. Once undressed, she steps into the shower, and lets the water pierce her soft skin as th tears still flow doen her face. Gypsy was heartbroken. Even though she wasnt in love, she really liked Pretty Boy, but at the same time, she was pissed at Wayne for what he did. After finishing her shower, she dressed and finally walks out the bathroom. Sixx pops his head up to watch her walk, with his tail slowing wagging. Gypsy gets in the bed, pluggin her phone in to charge. Shortly after, she was in slumber land.
Morning came and Shanell was fast asleep in bed. The sunlight brightly shone through her windows and her face. Her phonebegan to buzz on the night stand. Slowly coming to consciousness, she quickly picked it up hoping it was Pretty Boy. But another voice greeted her on the line.
"Hello?" Gypsy says nervously.
"Hey baby! Are you home?" It was her mom, Ms. Sharon, on the phone. Gypsy said yea.
"I will be there in like 10" Ms Sharon says.
"Oh, ok" she didnt sound too enthusiastic.
"You ok? You seem down.." Ms Sharon started to get concerned. Right when Shanell goes to answer, Ms Sharon interrupted.
"Come to the door, I'm outside." Gypsy says ok, and heads to the front door to unlock it.
Ms Sharon pulls up and heads to the door. She slowly turns the handle to check if it's unlocked. Realizing it is, she walks in, and sees her baby girl on the couch watching BET Centric, eating a bowl of cereal. She walks into the living room and sits next to her. She gives Gypsy a hug and kisses her forehead. They sat there quietly for a second, but Ms Sharon decided to break it.
"So, what's new with you?" she could tell Gypsy had been crying.
"Nothing. Just been working like usual." Gypsy didnt look up from her bowl of cereal.
"Besides work, what else is going on?" she knew Shanell was holding back from her. That mother's intuition began to kick in. Gypsy gave her a puzzled look, as to say 'what do u mean'
"Your eyes are puffy, hair not combed....even Sixx looks depressed! Like he's gonna commit doggie suicide." she point to him laying on the floor. Unknowing of why she pointed at him, he jumps up and starts to wag his tail. They both let out a laugh because of his timing. "There's that million dollar smile!"
"Mom, i dont know what to do or think. Last night, i went to Mack's house party. We were all having a good time. But Pretty Boy showed up unexpectedly, and there was a big fight with Wayne. Mom, i dont know where we stand anymore..." Gypsy put sher head down as she plays in her food.
"What was the fight about?" Ms Sharon asks, trying to make sure she gives the best advice afterwards.
"Wayne had pulled me to the side to talk. He claims he's in love with me, and leaned in to kiss me. But when he did, Pretty Boy walked into the room.." her mom's sat back, soaking in the full story, then lets out a sigh before beginning.
"Oh wow. What did you do after?"
"I followed after, but he wouldnt come back. But the messed up part is how Wayne is the reason it all happened!" Gypsy began to elevate her tone as she vented.
"How do you know that?" her mother asked.
"Because when I walked back to the house, I overheard him talking to Mack and he comfessed it. I've never seen Pretty Boy that mad, plus he already feels that there's something going on between me and Wayne..." Ms Sharon just shook her head.
"Well, how do u feel about him?"
"I care for him, bu like a brother."
"Im not talking about Wayne." She goes to grab Gypsy's hand. "Listen sweetie if you truly care about Pretty Boy like i know you do, then fight for the relationship. I know he cares for u a lot as well. Yes, it may look bad now, but it wont last forever." Her mom gets up and heads towards the door. "I gotta go. But think about what I just said" They hug and kiss eachothers cheeks. Then MsSharon is out the door.
She walks back to the living room to grab her now empty bowl, and carries it into the kitchen. Her phone starts to buzz. She has two unread messages from her Aubrey O'Day. She replies back to the messages and heads upstairs. As she enters her room, she decides she wants to go to the one place that clears her mind- the studio. Quickly, she sends Aubrey a text, telling her to meet her at the studio. She repies with an 'ok' and Gypsy throws on some clothes.
An hour later, she's ready and runs down stairs to her car. Placing Sixx in the passenger seat, she buckles up and pulls out of the driveway. Halfway to the studio, her phone rings but the number is unknown.
"Hello?" she answers.
"Hey sis, you got a minute?" By the tell of the voice it was Mack.
"Who is this? Mack? Whats going on??" she didnt understand why he didnt call her from his phone.
"Im at the studio. Im in the office calling you, because Wayne here too. I dont want him to know I came in here to call u. But first, how u feeling? I saw how upset u were when u left last night." he states. When he said that, she had to take a deep breathe. SHe was still upset about what she overheard.
"Yea, Im good. Thanks for asking."
"Where you at? Sounds like you in the car."
"Yea, im headed to the studio to meet up with Aubrey. Why do u ask?" she knew he had something on his mind.
"I was just wondering. But umm, theres something that i need to talk to you about. I was gone let it slide, but its getting outta hand now." she knew what he wanted to talk about, but played it off.
"What?"
"I cant really tell you over the phone. Plus I need to get back before he find out im on talking to you." Mack quickly peeped his head out the door, making sure the coast is still clear. "But aye, when u get here, text me." Gypsy says ok, and they hang up. Mack takes a deep breathe and heads out the door. Just as he turns the corner, Wayne pops up.
"Nigga, wat took u so long?" Wayne asks
"Business call. They needed some approvals on the YMCMB hoodie logos." Wayne gave him a funny look, as if he knew Mack had just lied.
"Well get back in here so we can finish this song." The both walk back into the studio.
A few minutes later, Gypsy and Aubrey pull up to the building parking lot around the same time. They greet eachother and head into the building. Gypsy quickly sends Mack the message and continues to walk down the hall to the studio........
