tomorrow.
âThereâs a limo out front to take us to the airport. Since you donât go back to work until next week, weâll be celebrating your birthday in Belize. I got us a gorgeous suite at the Hamanasi Resort. We can lay back and chill before you get back into working hard.â
I donât have time to think before we are whisked away to the airport.
Before I know it we are landing and checking into the resort, and I still havenât had a chance to call Jaydah. I swear every time I take one step forward, I get pushed two steps back.
Big Time
Jaydah
Â
She lied. The funny thing is I expected it and Iâm still surprisedâa little. I thought for sure after putting that shit on her the way I did last night she would be running to my doorstep bright and early, but I have been calling since five this morning and her phone is going straight to voice mail. Iâm due to be in the air at eight oâclock, so by five-thirty I have no choice but to head out without her.
I call Nevaeh once I get to the New Jersey Turnpike, and I meet her in Elizabeth, New Jersey on my way to the Big Apple. Nevaeh may be funny-acting, but sheâs reliable and I know I will have never had to remind her to be somewhere. There I was trying to find an excuse for her not to go, and I end up needing her. I have definitely got to evaluate who Iâm fooling with this year.
It takes everything in me not to call Midori, and even after I stop to pick up Nevaeh I still call her a couple of times, if for nothing else but to curse her ass out, and she still isnât picking up. Itâs cool, though. Sheâll see how I turn the tables, and she wonât like it, not one bit.
When I get to the radio station I am greeted by the production manager, who in turn introduces me to Carla, Tommy, Shirley, and Steve, the team who make up The Steve Harvey Morning Show . They all make me feel comfortable immediately. Even though my publicist had given me a list of questions they might possibly ask, she told me to be prepared for the conversation to switch up and turn at any moment. Iâm excited and nervous at the same time, but Nevaeh gave me the energy I needed to make this happen, and pretty soon thoughts of Midori are long gone.
After I am situated in the studio with my headphones on, I flash Nevaeh a quick smile just as the commercial ends, and we get into the interview.
âWeâre back, ladies and gentlemen, and with us we have the talented New York Times bestselling author of She Belongs to Me and Second Time Around . She has also participated in several collaborations, and is the recipient of the 2006 Writers On The Move Award . Give it up for Miss Jaydah B.,â Steve Harvey says with a warm smile on his face, instantly making me feel at ease.
âThank you so much for having me. Iâm so happy to be here,â I reply, smiling shyly and still not believing Iâve made it this far.
âLook at her trying to act like she shy, unc. Boy, if she was a little thickerââ
âTommy, stop embarrassing the woman. Canât you see sheâs over here shaking?â Shirley says jokingly, reprimanding Tommy and bringing laughter from all of us in the room.
âIâm cool, Shirley. I have to bat off men like Tommy all the time.â
âAnd I know thatâs right, with your fine self. If you was just a little older, I would justââ
âSteve, act like weâre on nationally syndicated radio,â Carla joins in the conversation, drawing another round of laughter. âJaydah, start by telling us how you came to be on top.â
âI got this, Carla,â Steve says, pretending like he has an attitude.
The energy in the studio has us on fire, and Iâm loving it. Shirley rolls her eyes, and Tommy starts panting like he was having a hard time breathing, which makes us all laugh again.
âMiss Jaydah B., please tell us how you got to where you are
