To some, Raya Lee-Williams, has the world and then some in the palm of her hands. Married to one of the most successful, not to mention, most handsome music producers in LA and having a two beautiful children with a mansion sized home to match, you...
Danny left a trail of kisses down my neck as we laid comfortably under the covers. I made it clear he would not be getting inside of me for a very long time, if ever. For most reasons being that Chris was on my mind heavily and I would've felt too guilty and other reasons being that he has been openly fucking this girl on a consistent basis. He could've never thought that dirty dick was going anywhere near me.
"You working today," he asked me.
"Yup, I have a photoshoot planned. We're trying to launch the brand around the end of March so it's crunch time."
"I want to come with you."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. We can drop the kids off to school and go over there right afterwards. I haven't seen you in your element yet."
"That's fine. We need to be getting up though," I told him as I unhooked his arm from around my waist. High key disappointed that he decided to tag along. Chris was actually going to be the one that joined me so there goes our plans.
About two hours later Danny and I arrived hand in hand to where the photoshoot was being held. Walking inside, the area was filled with busy women and men.
"Raya darling," Dorinda approached me with a smile as well as a hug and smooch.
"Good morning Dorinda."
"How are you baby? Is the husband," Dorinda asked referring to Danny standing beside me.
"Yes ma'am. Danny this is Dorinda the Great, aka my business partner," I introduced the both of them as he shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you Danny. Do you mind if I steal your wife?"
"Go right ahead. I'm going to check out that breakfast line," he gave me a kiss. "Go kill'em bae."
"Awww isn't that sweet," Dorinda smiled at me as we walked away. I let out a half laugh not making a comment.
"Good morning everyone. Raya has officially entered the building," Dorinda announced as she brought me in front of the models. I told them I wanted a variety of shades when it came down to my models. A very heavy emphasis on real black models with the darkest shade of chocolate all the way to brightest. They keep forgetting our black isn't subjected to one particular skin tone so I have no problem reminding the public.
"Good morning everybody! It's so nice to see everyone finally. First and foremost, I just want to thank you all for coming out today. You all are looking very beautiful and I can literally feel all the good energy bouncing off in this room. Make up is a complete passion of mine so I want this line to be of perfection if I can accomplish it. So with that being said I'm going to let you all continue getting ready. On more of a positive note, let's keep the energy high and have fun today. Okay?"
Some people cheered as well as agreed before they got back to work. I'm just on a high that this is still happening. I can't believe that I'm in charge of something other than my children. Way to feel empowered.

"DAMN", Chris yelled through my phone.
"Oh my God shhhh," I warned giggling. I was back in my dressing room about to change back into my clothes. The photo shoot was a complete success. Seeing my vision come to life really warmed my heart. Today was a gift to myself. Chris wanted me to facetime him while I had a little privacy being that he didn't get to come.
"You literally look like a dream baby. You making my heart do some shit," he smiled revealing his dimples.
"You're making me blush," I avoided making eye contact with him through the phone. He really was making those tingly feelings move around in my stomach.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. I miss you."
"I miss you so much more. Danny being at home complicates so much. You know how hard it is barely speaking to you?"
"Of course I do. I'm over here lonely. In due time though sweetheart. The weekend will be here quicker than you know it."
"It needs to be here in about 30 minutes."
"On my mama," he stared at me as I was taking my clothes off while biting his lip.
"What," I giggled.
"I'm not going to say. You know what you doing!"
"Who me? I'm minding my business."
"Yeah aite. Keep on playing with me Raya and you gone have dick in your stomach. So make that your business."
"See why you playing I really want it in my throat!" I laughed so hard at his expression.

"Ma'am listen if you want me to marry you just say that. I already got the ring in my pocket. Do I need to get on one knee now or should I wait until I see you?"
Before I could reply a few knocks were at my door. "Raya baby? You good? We got to pick up the twins," Danny's voice rang from the other side.
"Yeah I'll be right out," I shouted. I brought my attention back to Chris. "You are something else you big head ass boy. I got to go for now, but I'll text you later okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. Wear red when I see you and don't act shocked when I pull out this 14 carat. Now BYE beautiful."
"Bye crazy", I shook my head. When I got outside Danny was waiting for me with my coat.
"Took you long enough," he said.
"Sorry! I had to take a quick breather."
"I know babe. I was just joking. You did great today by the way," he kissed the side of my temple.
"Why thank you love. You ready to go?"
"Let's go." Once again we walked away with our hands intertwined. From the outside's eye we looked like the ideal couple, but from a closer view we were anything but.
