India

"Hey Lexie," I yelled in to the receiver plopping down into my office chair. "What Marie," Lexie responded dryly already knowing that I wanted something. "Wanna go shopping?" I asked shyly knowing the answer would be yes. "Girl you know I do when?" She said sounding all excited. I could hear her getting up and moving quickly. "Now! Get ready I'm on my way," I yelled hanging up; jumping out my own seat.

Slipping my oversized T-shirt off, I slide into a cute romper as I step into my shoes. I grab my bag and vlogging camera as I ran down stairs. Hopping into my white Audi A3, I let the top down and pulled off to scooped up Lexie.

"BITCH WHERE YOU BEEN!" I yelp laughing at a blushing Lexie. "Where else with my man hoe," Lexie laughed as she climbed in. "I see you fine hoe hair laid as fuck with the little baby hairs. Okuuurt I see you boo!" I hype her as I pulled off to the mall.

Looking bad as fuck we stepped out and bitches were for real deal mugging the hell outta us What the hell. Yo like who does that; hating ass hoes.

"Bitch what you do?" I ask Lexie and she smirks.
"Sip the tea!" I say as we walk into Mac.
"DeAngelo asked me out!" She squealed. DeAngelo is this big time drug dealer here in California. Rolling my eyes at her excitement I laugh. She been stuck on dude forever, like all her damn life forever.
"When the wedding," I joke when she finally calms down.
"Gurl!" She says fanning her self with a smile from ear to ear.
"Okay boo'd up ass! Yass friend that's what I'm talking about. Secure the husband!" I reply equally as excited as her.

"Turn on ya camera and thank you booskie! Now I gotta secure the ring." Lexie giggles as we got ready to do my YouTube intro.

"Hi there jewels welcome back to Song City! I'm India Marie and I am back with another lit vloggy vlog!" I speak into the camera as our shopping journey began.

We shopped, ate and made plans to go clubbing later on tonight since we ain't have shit else to do. We was bumping us some Trina when we pulled up to a red light . There was this truck full of niggas was tryna holla at us. Laughing we kept it moving to dropped off Lexie's extra bags of stuff she didn't need and then we went back to my house. It was close to nine when we started getting ready.

Later that night
Club Invy was live as hell when we walked in. We danced for a little while then sat down to eat. After we ate, we talked more about what's been going on with us. One of our favorite songs came on and we were back on the dance floor getting our groove on; until these two fine guys walked up asking us to dance. When I dropped Lexie off at home and made it home it was well after 2am. I took a shower dried off laid down and pulled the cover on top of me. Closing out the vlog; I was out for the night.

Monday
I woke up got ready and went to work. The girls were all peppy as usual and ready to learn some new. We went over what they'd already learned and they did wonderful. This why I love my job because it ain't a waste of my time. I was showing them the next 16 counts when I heard a deep voice say

"Damn."

When I looked up I saw two fine niggas who looked like a body builders standing in the door way. The taller one smiled and waved me over to them.

"Ahh girls Kandy gone show y'all the first 8 counts," I said walking over to where the two guys stood. I was confused as hell, and his friend was checking me out, no lie he was sexy though with his own little swag going on.

"Sorry to interrupt your class but is Hayley here today?" The guy with green eyes asked me.
"Ahh not to be rude or nun but who are you?"
Laughing he said, "Justin and this is Xavier. Hayley and I are sorta dating," with the biggest dimpled smile on his face. Xavier was still checking me out. So I did the same.

I had to look up at him, he was about 6 feet tall, heavy set, had a fade with the 360 waves as deep as the ocean, chubby jaws, sexy light chocolate eyes, juicy lips and his swag off the charts. Droppin' Versace. Damn he looked good for a big guy.

"Is that so.. well she had to run to the main office she's gone be late. She didn't call you?" I finally respond to the guy Justin.  
"No I was gone surprise her. I just got to town a few hours ago." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"Aww that's sweet," I said laughing. Xavier was quiet staring at me like I was his prey. I turned and looked at my girls they were doing good so I told Kandy to go ahead and show them the next 8 counts.

"Well call her I gotta get back to my class." I say turning around about to walk away.
"Can I stay and watch?" Xavier spoke this time. My eyes got big as I shook my head no. Where did that come for? He was the one who said 'Damn' when they walked in cause it was that same deep sexy baritone voice. Blushing at the thought I looked up at him and he smile.

"What's yo name?" He asked me smirking.
"Why?" I asked with my eyebrow rasied.
"So I'll have a name to put with yo face," He said with a duh look on his face.
"My name India, but everybody call me Marie." I said softly.
"Aight India," He said nodding his head at me.
"Bye y'all. Justin I'll tell her you stopped by." I waved as they walked out the door.

I walked back to the front of my class and they started talking about how fine the two guys were.
"Y'all needa shut up!" I said laughing. Candace yelled out "The big one feeling you Marie!"
They all burst out laughing talking about some "mmmmhmm". This why I love my girls they crazy as hell.

"How y'all know when y'all suppose to be learning?"
"The mirror duh," Tasha said.
"Nosey ass kids. Lets finish so y'all can go." I say rolling my eyes playfully.
After my last class was over and all the girls were leaving as Hayley walked in.
"Who is Justin and Xavier?"
A big ass smile appeared on her face and I knew what Justin claimed was true. Since I'd seen that same big smile a few months ago after a so call 'date' when we were on FaceTime.
"My boo. And I don't know Xavier. Why?" She questioned.
"They stopped by like two hours ago." I responded.
"WHAT! His ass is here? Do you know why?" She asked nervously.
"He wanted to surprise you he said." I respond smiling at her.
"Let me go call him." Hayley replied half running.

She quickly disappeared into the back office, I believe somebody is in love!
Awe. I'm happy for my girl she deserves it. She been working hard all her life, trying to make it without her parents giving her hand outs. Hayley really has done that  with her hair salon and running this dance school for Kerstin. I gathered my stuff and headed out the door. I got home at like about seven thirty. I fixed me a salad ate and hopped in the tub. After a long hot bubble bath I got out, jumped in bed and tuned into Scandal. I couldn't believe Holly killed her husband! Yeah he was gay but damn!

Two weeks later...
In my dressing room I was getting ready to go on stage, snapping a few pictures. When this woman came and told me I had five minutes til I was on. I was nervous and happy at the same time.

Damn, yo girl was fly as fuck though, I thought taking one last look at myself.
"Please give it up for some new and local talent y'all; she goes by India," the DJ said.
I heard cheering and clapping as I made my way to the stage. When I walked across the stage my heart was going a million miles per second. I looked out in the crowd there were people everywhere just as I was adjusted to the sound; it got so quiet you could hear a pen drop. I signaled the DJ and Does She Know by Sophie Fresh started playing. I started singing

Does she know
Does she know oh oh
Does she know oh yeah

It was still quite I just keep going adding a few dance moves here and there.

Does she know that you like your t-shirt warm out the dryer
i wonder if she knows that your favorite food
is my favorite too
does she bring it home to you.

I bet she doesn't know that you keep your
towels underneath your pillowcases in your drawer
i wonder if she knows how to rub your
back
when you come home
does she know just wheree you're sore

After the first verse the crowd was going wild and rocking to the beat with me. I smiled so big that the corners of my lips reached my ears and I kept on going.

Chorus:
Do you think she can take you down the same road
i know you think that she could be gold
but does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile
do you think that she can make you feel the same way
and does she take your night right away
and does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile

does she know
does she know oh
oh does she know
Does she know that you're close to your mom but your dad
doesn't know you
does she cook you breakfast in the morning
or does she just keep snoring
does she take good care of you
i wonder if she knows all your favorite teeeams
i wonder if she does all your favorite thingggs
i bet if she doesn't know that the only place
Where you're lonely is somewhere far away from meeee

Chorus:
Do you think she can take you down the same road
i know you think that she could be gold
but does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile
do you think that she can make you feel the same way
and does she take your night right away
and does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile

I wanna know if she can hold a piece of your heeeart
Does she lie awake and think about you in the darrrrrrrk
How could it be, that she's just what you neeeeed
It's hard to believeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee she could be better than meeeeeeeeeeeee

Chorus:]
Do you think she can take you down the same road
i know you think that she could be gold
but does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile
do you think that she can make you feel the same way
and does she take your night right away
and does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile
Do you think she can take you down the same road
i know you think that she could be gold
but does she know what makes your sunrise
does she know what makes you smile
do you think that she can make you feel the same way
and does she take your night right away
and does she know what makes your sun rise
does she know what makes you smile

When I finished sing the crowd went wild I felt so fucking good I coulda ran a few miles. After I thanked everybody for the love and walked off the stage back to my dressing room. That just let me know that my momma was right all along and made me wish I coulda shared this moment with her and my pops. My adrenaline level was off the charts as I sat down in a chair in my dressing room. Soon as my ass hit the damn seat somebody knocked on the door. Fuck I thought as I got up to answer the door.

"Yes," I said as I snatched the door open. My mouth fell open in shock... I couldn't say anything I could only gaze at me visitor.
