All her life Delilah Smith, soon known as Sapphire, yearned to be one of the greatest among her idols. It wasn't until the approaching summer of 1976, when her fantasy...
I nodded and looked over to my girls. " Yeah you told us that this song could be lost treasure or it could sky rocket."
" And I was right, hottest song of the week playing every single day on the Soul4Real station and more. And on top of that my phone has been blowing up with offers for McFadden and Whitehead...Now that's good and all, but in show biz you have to be smart with your choices. Think of it as like ... gambling. You have your choices you either take them or you don't." Robert stated causing Carlitos to pitch in.
" Yeah, Yeah. That's a perfect example because everything in life is a gamble...there's always an if —if I don't take it should I have or if I do take it should I have not? That's what we did we gambled and yes we declined all the offers. But just last night we hit the fucking jackpot when we received a call from thee Don Cornelius asking for a performance for Ain't No Stopping Us Now. So we brought you girls here because we want the song to sound as original as possible so what do you say? Down for a trip to Hollywood?"
" Hells yeah! " Alyssa blurted causing her and Valentina to go on in disbelief and excitement. Yet I couldn't help but shake my head in reasonable thought.
" I have to run it by my moms first before anything." I said, noticing Robert and Carlitos's confused expressions.
" Wait I'm sort of lost here...you need your mother's consent? How old are you?" Robert inquired causing me to sigh. When I told him my age he placed his utensils down and rubbed his face.
" Okay...Alright I can work around this...I just have to get in touch with your parents."
" Well I live with my grams, and she couldn't care less so you ain't gotta worry about me."
" Or me neither, I'm grown." Valentina and Alyssa smirked earning a side eye from me.
" Good then we only have to kill a bird with a stone then. When is the best time to reach out to them?"
" Well tonight we're having a birthday dinner for my brother and my cousin around 8:30-ish. "
Robert smiled at me as he nodded. " That's perfect. I'll be there." he assured clicking his glass with Alyssa, Carlitos, and I before he smirked to Valentina and clicked hers.
Mrs. Smith left the walls of her sister's home and entered hers with a slight smile after helping her prep the dinner. She kicked her shoes off and peered slightly at the faint sound of a door closing down the hall.
" Delilah? Alyssa? You girls home already? Your aunt could use some help decorating - " Emily smiled before her husband appeared around the corner.
" Noah." was all she could utter once seeing him. His expression was bland for he was aiming to get in and get out unnoticed.
" Emily...I see you changed your hair." he pointed out, walking out to the kitchen to get a glass of his favorite scotch.
" Um yeah... how have you been?"
