Do Re Mi by A. D. Herrick

“Take the record deal,” Makayla urges me. “Don’t worry about us. We’ll be here after your contract is up.” She promises. Neither of us knew the shitstorm that would come from our decision. My name’s Lenny Demark, you may know me as Lenz, LA’s hottest new artist with chart-topping songs on every station across the nation. I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to fulfill my dreams as a rap artist. One catch… I had to sign a contract that required me to give up my girl back home and date the producer’s daughter of the record company signing me for five years. That caveat meant leaving my girl behind, the only girl who has ever owned my heart.

I’ve always loved Lenny. I couldn’t remember when it first started. I think my feeling for him began back in kindergarten when he used to walk me to school. When he received the offer of a lifetime to sign with a big-time recording label I was over the moon for him. Lenny is as talented as they come, denying him the opportunity to let the world see first-hand how amazingly talented he was, was not an option. I refused to be the anchor that held him back from his dreams.

The small life growing inside me reminded me of how precious time really was. So I’d wait for him. Five years was nothing compared to an eternity of doubt and what if’s. Now that Lenny’s back I can’t help but have my own doubts: Is he here to stay? Does he still want me? Will I be enough? Will this mom bod turn him on as much now as it did before?
