Rapping For Love

As J-Wall and his agents gathered around the cherry desk, they started discussing

plan for his new album. They talked about marketing plan and how they could make the

J-Wall had just struck a deal with Kanye West’s Good Music Record label and

quickly rose to the hip hop community. He is amazed with all the attention he is receiving

and is just soaking it all in. In a matter of days his self titled album aimed to the top of the

billboard charts and his fan base was growing quickly.

Everyone started shouting out places they think J-Wall should go.

“Lets go to China, lets go to Australia, lets go to Egypt, how about Alaska, someone

“We are not going to all those places”.

As J-Wall was sitting in his in is first class seat, on the 747 jet, he looked at his

blank I-Phone and saw his blemish-face, cappuccino skin complex and his Seattle

Mariners hat. The thought to himself, “I can’t believe I’m flying first class in Space Jam

11’s, going on tour across the world.”

He hit the call button to ask the stuartist for a glass of water. He needed it to take

what he called is knockout pills, seeing that this was his first time on an airplane and he

Once he got to china and started doing shows, Egypt, Australia, and Alaska

seemed to soar passed him. Until he got to Brazil. Once he got to Brazil he was

overwhelmed with thick humid air. All he was ready to do was go straight to the hotel and

relax and nap before he had to do his next performance.

After grabbing his bags, he started walking to the front of the airport. He then saw

a beautiful Brazilian woman holing a sign that read “James Wallace.” This woman was

milk chocolate brown skinned and tall with an athletic body shape. She had on a navy

blue skirt and a collard shirt as if she attended a catholic school. Her curly hair was held

in a bun, a loose one, like she had quickly wrapped it up and put a ball point pen in it.

“How was your flight Mr. Wallace,” said the beautiful brown skinned woman.

“Good I guess, I was asleep the entire flight,” answered J-Wall.

“I am so sorry to hear that, hopefully you have a great time at our hotel.”

“Well my name is Manon Smith and I will take you to your hotel room,” she said as

Manon held her hand out for J-Wall to shake. J-Wall shook her hand and kissed it. It felt

like the smooth skin of a new born baby.

“Let me get your bags for you Mr. Wallace” Manon said.

“No I got them,” he said as he picked up his bags.

“Oh no, please let me take them. I insist.”

“No, I got them. No beautiful lady like yourself should have to carry these heavy bags of

“Okay, well follow me then,” she said as was taking J-Wall to the Lincoln Town Car.

“So will you be staying at the beautiful and relaxing Don Resort here in Brazil,” she

“Yes I am. Is it as nice as you say?”

“Yes it is. It is in the heart of the city.”

“World Wide Magazine named us the Best Resort in the World,” she stated.

“Oh good. I am lucky to be staying here, and to have such a beautiful woman working

Manon blushed and turned red after J-Wall said that too her.

“Do you listen to rap music,” asked J-Wall.

“No I do not like that type of music.”

“Well how about you come to my concert tonight and maybe I can change your mind

“Hmmm.” She thought about it for a long second. “Okay, I’ll go.”

J-Wall handed her a backstage pass, gave Manon a hug, and went to his hotel suite to rest

***

After attending the concert, Manon immediately fell in love with J-Wall.

Everyday he was in Brazil the two went on a day and both of their feelings grew greater

for one another. On his last day in Brazil he woke up with Manon and told her how much

he was going to miss her. He also reminded her that his flight was going to leave at

12:45pm and it was already 10:30am.

J-Wall finished packing his bags and put them in the Lincoln Town Car. They

were both on their way to the airport. On the ride there, there was nothing but dead

silence in the car. It was the type of awkward silence when you want to say something

to the other person, but you just cannot find the words and you don’t know what to say.

A deaf person would be able to hear the car engine whine if they were in the car. Finally

they arrived at the airport. Manon got out the car and opened the door for J-Wall. He got

out, grabbed his bags out of the trunk, and then gave Manon a hug and a long kiss.
“Deep up out of here with me,” J-Wall whispered in Manon’s ear after the kiss.

Manon was so excited she answered before J-Wall could finish asking her. She jumped

into his arms and they both got on the plan coming back to Los Angeles, California in the

***

Once J-Wall and Manon arrived in Los Angeles, it wasn’t even 10minuets before

J-Wall got a call from Kanye West. Kanye told J-Wall that he and Manon had to go to the

Grammy Awards in 3 hours. In a hurry, the couple quickly rushed to J-Wall’s house in

Beverly Hills to get dressed. Even though they were in a rush, they had to dress nice

because the Red Carpet is where celebrity fashion gets highly judged. Once they were

ready they were picked up in a limo where they were greeted by the Good Music

Records’ family. Everyone in the limo was in amazement like they had just seen a ghost,

but exited as if they had just won the lottery. This was all due to how stunning J-Wall’s

girlfriend was. This was the first time that any of them had seen her. They had all laughed

because Kanye made a joke saying that J-Wall is ugly.

When they had arrived to the Red Carpet they all exited the limo. Usually Kanye

receives the most attention from the media because of his clothes and the woman that

brings, but not this time. As soon as J-Wall and Manon stepped out, they were instantly

swarmed by cameras and reporters. J-Wall was wearing a Members only jacket with a

Ralph Lauren polo. Seven jeans were on his legs with some Louis Vuitton shoes that were

designed by Kanye. He didn’t want to dress up, he wanted to look more urban styled. J-

Wall was soon interviewed by a young reporter named Sarah Bloomingburg.
“Hello J-Wall, I’m Sarah Bloomingburg from ABC 7.”

“Hi Sarah. I would like everyone out there to also meet my new girlfriend Manon

“In Brazil while I was on my world tour.”

Sarah kept talking to J-Wall while also being slightly rude to Manon. When he walked

away she screamed at the top of her lungs, “I am your number one fan!” J-Wall didn’t

turn around though. He acted as if he didn’t hear her.

***

Late at night the Grammy’s finally ended and J-Wall and Manon went to his

house to go get some rest. They both did not want to go to the after party. They were

exhausted from the long day that they had. Opening up the front door, J-Wall notice that

“What the hell are you doing in my house you weirdo,” he screamed at the top of his

“J-Wall, I am your biggest fan. I love you.”

It was Sarah Bloomingburg. She had somehow got into J-Wall’s house and waited for

Not answering his question she answered, “I Love you, I want to be with you J-Wall.”

Sarah not seeing Manon, J-Wall told her to go into the back of the house, hide, and get

“You need to leave my house now lady.”

“Why leave? We are a couple, you are my man.”

“No I am not. You need help lady.”

Sarah did not like that and pulled a knife out then forcing J-Wall up stairs. After tying

him up in a chair, she left the room to look for Manon. “Help,” screamed J-Wall for his

life. Outside Manon heard this and snuck into the house to untie him. Sarah soon caught

“Lady you need to leave now and put that knife down,” Manon said to Sarah.

“No, you need to leave my man alone tamp.”

After saying that, Sarah rushed at Manon holding the knife in her hand. Running

as fast as she can she try to stab and kill Manon so that she could have J-Wall all for

herself. Sarah looked as if she was a bat out of hell with her red eyes, all black clothes,

short black hair, and saliva hanging down from her mouth. At the last minute Manon

dropped to the floor tripping Sarah. Sarah fell out of the large glass window and fell into

the middle of the street where she got ran over by a car two minutes later. The driver

thought that he killed Sarah, but J-Wall and Manon told the man what happened. They

called the ambulance and then everything was safe.

Once the situation died down J-Wall and Manon decided to go to a hotel for the

night. They were so tired that once they got into their small suite they both went right to

sleep as if they had taken some of J-Wall’s Knockout Pills.
