Ways Of Love
Chapter 7


�s P.O.V
I�m really late! I couldn�t sleep all night having that nightmare where I say �I love you� to 
the �hurricane�. God, she�s already here...  
: Hey, Bubba!
By the way he�s looking at me I guess she didn�t forgive what I said aboutin Australia. 
I�m glad he didn�t keep his promise breaking my fingers or my legs.
: �The next day I'm with the fellas at the cage playing ball/Here she comes wit her friends they posted 
up on the wall/Now I'm showing out, trynta dunk trynta dribble break fast/Through the middle just to 
see her smile and giggle/Game over I approched her wit a kiss on the cheek/The homeboys lookin at me 
sayin "Lil Howard you weak"/But you know how that go, what I got they want/What I got I flaunt, 
never mess wit it, please don't/Told her "I'm going home" she asked can she go too/I'm like "Yeah boo, 
I can't see me without you"/Got thurr, I took a shower jumped out she in the bed/With a see-through 
thong said I looked at her and said...�
I like to hear her rapping.
:!!
I better tap her shoulder.
:!
: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
: Hey! If didn�t dodge you�d have punched me!
: You didn�t need to scare me!
: Sorry, but I called you and you didn�t hear me.
: Ok, you don�t have to tell me the story of your life! Let�s work and put an end at this stupid bad joke!

(An Hour Later)

�s P.O.V
I swear to God I� gonna kick�s ass!
: Man, this is not working! We don�t even know what we�re gonna write about.
: This is not my fault! I gave millions ideas and you said NO to all of them!
: �Cause they�re stupid.
: You�re the stupid here!
: Don�t start,. I�m not in a mood for this. I wanna finish this and go back home!
: Run to �mommy�?
: Stop it, man! I�m sick of this... I�m sick of you! Can�t you leave me alone for one second?
: Right now I could be at my house just chilling instead of being here with you!
: Probably with a bitch by your side.
: I�ve already have one in front of me!
: I thought I was the tramp not the bitch! 
: Whatever! I hate you!
: Really cleaver from you! Why don�t we write a song about a tramp whose pimp looks like Orlando 
Bloom and her gay friend steals him from her?
: I guess Orlando Bloom wouldn�t be so stupid to date someone like you!
: I can�t believe a girl could actually love you. You�re so... disgusting!
: Don�t screw your face to me! Do you think I enjoy look at you? You�re the ugliest girl I�ve ever 
seen.
: If I�m so ugly, why are you always staring at my breasts?
: �Cause they�re a better view than your face! 
Bubba: HEY! STOP YOU TWO!

�s P.O.V
She has the power of taking me out of my mind!
Bubba:, don�t make me regret not keeping my promise.
: I won�t Bubba... I�m outta here!
This is not going to work! What Johnny was thinking?

�s P.O.V
Bubba: Are you ok, kid?
: Yes, don�t worry. He�s just a big child. Take me back to the hotel, please.
What have I done to him? Did I say something to hurt him? Did I treat him cold? God, please, 
make this stop �cause I can�t take it anymore!  

(Later At The Hotel)

I don�t wanna stay locked in this room anymore, I wanna go out for a walk all by myself! I 
need to find a way to sneak out without being caught by Bubba.
Bubba:, I�m going to lunch. Are you gonna be ok? Do you need something?
: I�ll be fine Big B, don�t worry. 
Bubba: I�ll be right back.
This is my chance. I�ll wait for a while and then, I�m free to go! I guess I�ll go to the mall. 

�s P.O.V
Why do I keep thinking about �hurricane�? I don�t care if I said those things to her, I don�t 
care about how she feels, all I care is being free from her! I need to clear my mind... I guess 
I�ll go to the mall.

(At The Mall)

I�m gonna spend some money and carry on with my life. I wanna be free from �hurricane� 
this afternoon!

(A Few Hours Later)

�s P.O.V
I guess I bought enough. I�ll take some ice cream and go back to hotel.
A guy: Hey you!
: Are you talking to me?
A guy: Yeah! Aren�t you Jay?
 Yes, I am.
A guy: Could you give me your autograph? 
: Sure!
A guy: Thanks. I have a question.
: Go on.
A guy: What Nelly�s lil� girl�s doing all alone in London?
: What?!
A guy: I see that your bodyguard�s not wit ya.
: What do you want?

�s P.O.V
I�m going home. I�m sick of shopping. Great! �Hurricane� is here... she seems to be scared or 
something. Nevermind, it�s not my business.

�s P.O.V
I made a mistake going out without Bubba.
A guy: I think that maybe you could give a message to your boss.
Oh my God, he has a pocketknife! Now I know I did something stupid.
A guy: You better come with me, shorty.

�s P.O.V
The guy�s holding her arm and�s getting pale... I know I�m 
gonna regret it later but I�m gonna do something.
:! I finally found you!
: Hi...
: Oh... what was I thinking, nice to meet you, I�m.
A guy: Well, I�m leaving.
: So soon? Don�t you wanna have a coffee with us?
A guy: No, it�s ok. Send my regards to Nelly.

�s P.O.V
The guy�s leaving thanks to. THANKS TO?!?!
: Are you ok?
: Yeah... thanks.
: What was that?
: A long story. I need to go back to the hotel.
: I give you a ride.
I can�t believe he�s being nice to me. What happened?

(At The Hotel)

: Thanks,.
: No problem, babe.
Nelly: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
: Calm down Nelly.
Nelly: CALM DOWN?! SHE KNOWS SHE�S NOT SUPOSE TO BE ALONE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
: Hey, stop yelling! Is not her fault, it's mine!
What the hell is he talking about? What the hell is he doing?
Nelly/: WHAT?!
: After our fight at the studio I wanted to apologize to her and invited her to go shopping with 
me, she accepted and said that Bubba had to come along but, I wanted to talk to her alone and kinda 
made her sneak out.
Nelly: Is it true, shorty?
I can�t believe he�s actually doing this. Is he out of his mind?
: Y...yeah, Nelly.
Nelly: Did you put your differences behind?
: Of course we did. Tomorrow we�re gonna meet again and you and Johnny will be surprised with 
our song. Isn�t it,?
: Yeah. We�re gonna work with no problem.
Nelly: Go to your room, we�ll talk later.
: Let me help you with your stuff.
Or God answered my prayers or an alien took over his body. He�s actually being nice to me.

�s P.O.V
I don�t know but, I wanted to protect her. I guess she�s been locked in her room and followed 
by Bubba for such a long time that I�m feeling sorry for her.
: Thanks for everything.
: It was nothing. I saw you needed help so I helped.
: Do you wanna come in?
Should I?
: Ok.
Since the day I met her I�ve never been in any of the rooms she stayed.
: You can put this bags over there... have a seat, I�m gonna wash my face.
I guess I�d never say that but, I�m feeling comfortable with her. I don�t know why I�m seeing 
her from a different point of view.
: Are you sad for not going back home?
: Kinda... I really miss St. Louis but I know I have to fix everything wrong I�ve done around here. My job 
must come first...
: Is normal to miss home. I miss my family all the time and believe me, as time goes it doesn�t get 
easier.
: I know... we�re nothing without the support of a lovely family. Do you wanna a beer?
: Sure.
What an answer! I�m speechless...
: Thank you... so, what was that at the mall?
: Nelly doesn�t have the best reputation in St. Louis �cause he used to deal with some illegal stuff and 
many guys there are jealous �cause he got famous so, once in a while, one of them appear to say �hi�.
: But having the trouble coming to UK just to say �hi� is too much.
: Maybe that guy�s from here... you know Nelly, he doesn�t keep his mouth shut.
: Just like you.
: Yeah... just like me.
She�s smiling... have I ever said that I like the way she smiles? 

�s P.O.V
It�s unbelievable!and I are having a real conversation! 
: Now I see why Bubba�s always around.
: I don�t wannna end up like 2Pac Shakur or Notorious B.I.G. I love my life and I�m too young to be 
six feet under. I wanna live at least �till I get your age...isn�t it?
: Yeah... I�m getting old.
: Hey, don�t be so hard on yourself, grandpa!
: Ok, not that old.
: Sorry.
: Can I ask you something?
: Sure.
: What�s your real name?
: You�re gonna laugh.
: I promise I won�t. 
: Ok... my real name is. 
: Is a beautiful name. Girlie and beautiful.
: Back in St. Louis I�m known asnot.
: Who came up with your stage name?
: Nelly... I guess is a good thing �cause leave my private life far from the success. 
: I hope you can manage it.
: Me too.
: Are you tired?
: No, why?
: We could work in our song, what do you think?
: I think is a great idea.       
I�m enjoying being with him.�s nice, funny...

(An Hour Later)
 
: I guess it�s going well.
: Yeah, we�re great together.

�s P.O.V
Do you think that too? * KNOCK KNOCK *
: Come in!
Nelly: I came here to talk to you and... hey! What are you doing here?
: We were working in our song.
Nelly: Really?!
: Really! I have to say it�s pretty good, isn�t it?
: Yes, it is.
Nelly: I�m glad you�re getting along well though it sounds weird. Did you finish it?
: That�s what I was going to talk to you about.
Nelly: What�s the matter?
:and I have to finish the song and here, we can�t. So, he had an idea.
Nelly: Will I like this idea?
: I thought we could finish it at my place �cause there�s a piano there and we could work better 
than at the studio.
: What do you say?
: Bubba can come too.
Nelly: Ok, you can go to his place tomorrow and there�s no need for Bubba to go ifpicks you up 
and brings you back.
: I�ll take care of her, I promise.
: Nelly... you�re sounding like my father when meets a new boyfriend of mine!
Did she say boyfriend? Wait! I don�t wanna send her any wrong message. 
: Well, it�s getting late. I have to go now so, I come to pick you up around 1pm, ok?
: Ok, see you tomorrow.

(Later At�s House)

: Hey! What brings you here?
: Something weird happened today.
: What?
:and I had a fight this morning...
: There�s nothing weird about it.
: Can I please go on?
: Of course!
: Thanks! Anyway, after the fight I met her at the mall and spent the whole afternoon with her 
chatting and working in our song.
: Are you sick or something? What happened to you start acting nice with her?
: It's a long story. Everything began at the mall...

(Minutes Later)

: It�s insane! It means she�s in danger walking around with Nelly.
: She has Bubba. The guy won�t let anything happen to her.
: Are you liking her?
: Is not I�m liking her, I feel comfortable with her. We can talk about anything and laugh, is just... 
I mean,�s a great girl.
: Finally you�ve opened your eyes! Too bad is too late �cause�s leaving soon.
: I don�t know why I was judging her.
: I know...
: Don�t start, ok?
: Fine!

(On The Next Day)

12:45 and I�m on my way to meetat the hotel and I hope we don�t fight today. I need 
to listen some music...
(�It's seven o'clock/On the dot/I'm in my drop top/Cruisin' the streets - Oh yeah/I gotta 
real pretty, pretty little thang that's waiting for me/I pull up/Anticipating good love/Don't 
keep me waitin�/I got plans to put my hands in places/I never seen girl you know what I 
mean...�) 
�Nice & Slow�... I love this song. It makes me feel things I could never imagine

�s P.O.V
(�Like a movie scene/In the sweetest dream/I have pictured us together/Now to feel your 
lips/On my fingertips/I have to say is even better/Than I ever thought it could possibly be/
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free/From all of my sadness/The tears that I've cried/
I have spent all of my life...")
Murphy Lee: Jennifer Lopez? The case is serious!
: What are you talking about? I like this song and you know it!
Murphy Lee: Unfortunately you�re the only eclectic rapper in the world.
: Shut up, Murph. 
Murphy Lee: Where are you going?
: To�s house. We�re gonna work there today.
Murphy Lee: Is Bubba taking you?
: No, I�m waiting for. He�s on his way to pick me up.
Murphy Lee: That�s the reason for �Waiting For Tonight�.
: Do you know you have a pregnant mind?
Murphy Lee: I�m a guy, I can�t get pregnant. Didn�t you go to school?
* KNOCK KNOCK *
: Come in!
: Hey! Are you ready?
: Hi and yes, I am. Bye,Murph!
Murphy Lee: Have fun you two. Don�t do anything I wouldn�t do... or don�t do anything I would.
: Funny boy!
Sometimes I wish Murph could be dead but then I realize how much I love him and need him
by my side.

(In�s Car)

: Well, I hope we can make a good job today.
: If we could do an awesome song I guess the press would stop bothering us with what happened in Australia.

�s P.O.V
God, she�s crossing her legs... look at those legs! When �hurricane� got those legs?
: Can I turn on the radio?
: Sure!
She smells so good!
: I love this song. �... I wanna make it like a dream for you/Turn every fantasy into the truth/You know 
I'll take it anywhere that you wanna go right now/Just to love ya for a little while...�
I know I said she�s a teaser but to tell the truth, I love her kid�s way �cause it�s not something 
she created, is just her being herself.
: Do you like Janet Jackson?
: Yeah! When I was younger I always pretended to be her.
Come on,! You don�t have to pretend to be her, you�re already sexy in your own way.

(At His Place)

: Come in and make yourself at home.
: Thank you! 
: Feel free to do whatever you want.
: Can I take off my sneakers?
: Sure,. 
:?!
: If you don�t mind.
: Of course not, I like my name.
: Ok... is hot today.
: Yes, it is.

�s P.O.V
He�s taking off his shirt and you know what? Looking him at this angle, he�s really handsome....
: Let�s work?
: Yeah, sure.

(Hours Later)

The song is good. I guessshirtless playing the piano is inspiring me...

�s P.O.V
She�s working so hard and I�m here thinking about a way to unzip her white little jacket and 
take off her baggy short.
: I guess this is it!
: What?
: The song is ready and perfect.
: Yes it is. Two think better than one.
: But I�m tired anyway.
: Do you want me to take you back to the hotel?
: Please! But first I need to wash my face. 
: Sure, second door on the right.
: I�ll be right back.
I don�t want her to go, I just want her! I don�t know what to do but I have to do something... 
I�m gonna wait her outside the bathroom.
