“So Skroll has been going crazy over the two of y’all,” Hakeem said. “I mean, Drix, you’ve been in the public for a while now, but I don’t think anyone ever really thought you’d pop out with a woman this publicly, let alone pop out married.”

“It was a crazy announcement by the way,” Eric added. “You announced your marriage with a random video at three a.m., then just logged off. I don’t think Myome even shared that video when it got posted.”

“You actually usually stay off Skroll; so what made you announce your marriage that way?”

“It was spur of the moment, but honestly, we’d just gotten married and I wanted the world to know. We had drinks. We were celebrating, and shit, I don’t know. My baby was looking fine as hell. I wanted to show her lil fine ass off so I recorded us, and boom, uploaded that shit and kept it pushing. I ain’t think it was gon’ go crazy like it did though.”

“And Myome, your followers jumped significantly overnight. Was that crazy to you?”

“It was insane,” Myome admitted. “I didn’t even realize he’d posted the video; so I woke up the next morning with the members of my group and my manager calling and so many Skroll notifications coming in I couldn’t even get back to any of them at first.”

“No family blowing up your phone?” Hakeem asked.

“My sister Chandler blew my shit up enough for both of us,” I interjected.

He and Eric laughed. Myome discreetly squeezed my hand in thanks.

“Can I ask what the significance of your wedding night was?” Eric asked. “What made the two of you decide to get married then?”

“Actually, can I interject?” Hakeem asked.

“Sure.” Eric nodded.

“Okay. Can I ask how y’all met?”

I looked over at Myome.

“We, uh, we met in the studio actually. Drix produced a song for Radiant Reverie’s upcoming album.”

“And the album hasn’t come out yet, right?” Hakeem asked.

“No. It hasn’t. We’re announcing the official release date in two weeks though.”

“Oh shit. Can we get an exclusive?”

Myome looked over at Allison who looked at Chandler who nudged her head toward me.

“We’ll send you the track list when it’s finalized,” I said. “But what we can tell you today is the track we laid is one of my all-time favorites, easily top ten.”

“Will that track list have features included or redacted?”

“You’re going to have to wait and see.” I grinned.

“Alright.” Eric nodded. “We can accept that.”

“But it seems there’s not a locked in track list, meaning the album is still being worked on.” Hakeem shifted slightly in his seat. “Does that mean the two of you met recently?”

I chuckled at that. “You can say that.”

“Alright. Well here’s a different question. When did you know you were going to get married?”

“The night we did it,” I said simply.

Hakeem, Eric, and Myome all laughed.

“Ain’t no fucking way.” Eric chuckled loudly.

“Nah. For real. I proposed to my baby and we got married a few hours later.”
