Yazz and Serayah are adored by many as the TV couple Takeem. Both from separate world's. What happens when the blurred lines between TV life starts becoming a reality?
My alarm went off. I yawned. I needed to sober up. I went downstairs and made coffee.
I decided to leave the house in 30 minutes so I can make it to set early.
I know I pissed off half the production team and needed to gain everyone's trust back.
I quickly showered and got dressed.
I finally arrived on set.
"My eyes has to be playing tricks on me." "Yazz is actually one of the first few on set?" Sanaa replied pretending to be shocked.
"Yeah, yeah joke away." I laughed " I'm here to be professional and handle business. I replied.
"So happy to hear that from you." "Today you have a scene with Serayah, Mario, the twins, and Bella."
"Hakeem has just gotten back from filming the Empire movie and he goes to pick up the kids from Tiana, only to learn that baby Prince has been bonding with Devon."
"Yazz I hope you and Serayah can put aside your differences because there will be a flashback scene of Hakeem and Tiana in their happier times with their kids." "You guys will be bonding as a family." "So you think you can do that?" Questioned Sanaa.
"Yeah of course." "It's about being professional."
"Good deal." Sanaa replied.
They will be needing you in hair and make up soon and we will start filming shortly after.

Serayah's POV
I've been enjoying my character this season. I finally have a new love interest. It's interesting to see Tiana with someone other than Hakeem. The ups and downs with my character and her love life was exhausting. I don't know if that's me speaking or my character speaking.
"Earth to Serayah." "They need us." Mario replied.
"I'm sorry I was lost in my thoughts." I replied.
"It's cool." Mario smiled showing off his pearly whites.
"Serayah!" Bella ran towards me giving me a huge hug.
"Hey my favorite tv daughter!" I smiled hugging Bella in return.
"I drew this picture for you." Bella replied handing me her drawing.
"Awww so pretty." " I'll never lose it." I smiled.
"Hey Serayah." The parents of the twins Loyalty and Legacy greeted.
"Hey." I replied with a smile.
"And how are these little guys doing today?" I kneeled down hugging both babies.
"They're okay just a little cranky."
"Well that's perfect for the scene we are about to shoot." I replied.
"What's up Yazz?" Mario greeted dapping Yazz
"Nm G." Replied Yazz.
"Wassup little mans." Yazz greeted the twins tickling their bellies.
Legacy began to cry obviously still cranky.
The director decided to use Legacy for this scene.
"Hey pretty girl." Yazz hugged Bella as Bella smiled.
Okay you guys we are ready!
On your mark! Action!
"Wassup Keem, glad to see you back in town." Devon replied dapping Hakeem.
"I heard the new track bro, it's fire." Replied Hakeem.
"I helped produce that." Said Tiana
"Oh so you keeping the twitter haters off your back." Hakeem replied.
"Trying too." Tiana sighed. "I'm getting through it, thanks for asking.
"Come on Prince, Bella it's time to go with your Dad." "Come on."
"Noooooo." Prince fussed.
"Come on Prince." Said Tiana
"Prince." Hakeem called.
"Go spend some time with your Daddy." Said Devon
"Nooooooo." Prince fussed again.
And scene!!! Sanaa yelled!
"That was perfect!"
They were touching up on my make up as Yazz and I was prepping for our next scene with the kids.
To not make things awkward I decided to break the ice.
"So how you been?" I spoke to Yazz
"Oh wow she acknowledges my existence." Yazz spoke in this sarcastic tone.
"I'm trying to be nice here." I replied.
"Everything is well with me." "How about you?" Yazz asked.
"Same here." I replied.
"Ok you guys on your mark action!"
The instrumental for Hakeem's song "FaceTime" played in the background as we did the kitchen scene with the kids."
Hakeem and I locked eyes smiling at one another."
You and that man have a great time (have a great time) You and that man have a great time (have a great time) You and that man have a great time And I be raising my son on FaceTime, FaceTime
You and that woman have a great time (yeah) You and that woman have a great time (yeah) You and that woman have a great time And you'll be raising your son on FaceTime, FaceTime And you'll be raising your son on FaceTime, FaceTime
We moved on to the living room scene as we were decorating our Christmas tree. I helped Bella put the ornaments on the tree.
Even though I was in character. A part of me felt happy in this exact moment.
Yazz and I were actually getting along and we had fun filming with the kids.
