Trife Life To Lavish Part 2 Genesis & Genevieve...Am I My Brother's Keeper by Deja King Page B

there?"
    "I took a taxi... enough of this interrogation! I fucked up. I shouldn't have disappeared, but I asked you for time
alone and you wouldn't give it to me so I took it. Are you
satisfied," Nichelle belted. She walked towards the huge
window and stared outside. The view of Central Park gave
her a serene feeling that had been lacking in what felt like
forever. "I don' think I can do this anymore."

    "I don't want to fight about this anymore either. You
answered my questions and I'll leave it at that."
    "I'm not talking about us arguing."
    "Then what are you talking about?"
    "This modeling career. I don't think I can do it anymore.
It's just too much."
    "What! You're about to have your big breakthrough,
what are you talking about?"
    "Maybe I'm not ready for a big breakthrough or maybe
I don't want it. This life in front of a camera, I don't think
it's for me. I'm not cut out for it."
    "Wait, back up. Where is all this coming from?"
    "This argument got me thinking and this may not be
the right path for me."
    "Nichelle, I pushed too hard and I apologize. I was
worried about you. It was only a few weeks ago that a man
tried to snatch you up in the middle of the street. I worry
about you."
    "I understand but having my face plastered everywhere might make things worse."
    "That's why you have security, so you can be protected."
    "But I don't want to live my life like that, walking
around with security. I want to be free to do what I want to
do."

    "Which is what?"
    "I don't know, maybe go to college or get married and
be a wife and mother. All I know is that I want some peace
in my life."
    "You're living in this beautiful loft overlooking Central
Park and you talk about wanting peace in your life. How
much more peaceful can things be for you."
    "This isn't the life I want."
    "Fine, Nichelle. I'm not going to try and change your
mind. I think you're a natural but if this isn't the career you
want then so be it. After you finish this perfume campaign
I won't get you any new work."
    "I don't want to finish the perfume campaign. It's still
early, I'm sure T-Roc can find another girl."
    "You signed a contract."
    "I know, but I haven't spent any of the money yet. I'll
give it back."
    "Okay, Nichelle, you're talking crazy. You can't do
this. Business isn't conducted in this manner. You have an
obligation to fulfill."
    "I have other obligations I need to focus on right
now.
    "Other obligations like what? What can be so important that you have to throw everything we've been building
away? Not only that but think about T-Roc and what he's
invested. He's already planning this huge party for you that's
happening in less than two weeks. You may not care about
your career but what about my reputation. While you're
running off trying to find peace, I still have to do business
with these people. So instead of just thinking about your self put me in the equation too."

    "Fine! I'll finish this perfume campaign but after this I'm
focusing on what's important to me." For Nichelle, that was
finding her brother Genesis. After everything Renny revealed
to her, that was her number one priority. He was all the family
she had. Nichelle felt that with all the time it required to have a
successful modeling career, she rather put that energy towards
uniting with her brother. Of course Nichelle wasn't willing to
share that with Akil because then she would have to open the
door and reveal all her skeletons. But after her gig was up she
would walk away and not look back. Her focus would be on
finding Genesis.

    Genesis woke up surrounded by the warm walls of
CoCo and it felt like home-comfortable and content.
Their relationship easily transitioned from friends to lovers
without any major collisions. Mainly because CoCo had
studied the dos and don'ts of Genesis so thoroughly she
was able to play her position to perfection.
    One rule that was easy for CoCo to follow was Genesis' love for morning sex. With each
