"You do?" He looked at me full of hope. He then set me down, hugging me.

"I do." I smiled, hugging him back.

"Say it again." He said.

"What?" I looked at him after breaking the hug.

"Say it again." He encouraged. "If you mean it, you'll say it twice."

"I love you." I smiled. "And I want you back." I added something I wanted to say ever since we got close again.

"I'll take you back," He whispered, kissing my forehead.

The day after that, I met with Macey Claire about the documentary.

"So, Ms. Olivia I think I want both film and movie for you. I want a film for you journey as a designer, and a documentary for your Lex Line." She explained.

"Yeah, sure. Why not?" I chuckled? "You got to explore!"

"Well, one of my assistants will interview you, with me. I will be asking you personal questions so that it can help with both documentary and film." She explained.

Then we just ate snacks and after that, I signed a contract. I got a copy and headed immediately home. When I arrived I got a text from Alexander before going in.

I immediately responded, of course.

I shook my head before entering the house.

"I'm home!" I announced as I removed my coat and hung it on the rack just beside the door.

"Hi sweetheart!" Mom approached me with a hug. "How was your day, m'ija?" She asked with a smile as we went to the kitchen where everyone was.

"I've got some big news!" I squealed as I put a cop of the contract on the kitchen counter. they immediately looked at text typed.

'Film and Documentary Contract

between

Macey Claire p.g.a. and Olivia De Laurel'

"Are you for real?" Oliver looked at me as he reached in for a hug.

"Yes." I nodded as we hugged each other tightly.

"I'm telling you sis, Macey Claire is one of the producers that I admire!" He smiled.

"Uhh, what's this?" Olen asked, looking confused.

"Well, I just sighed a contract for my own documentary and film!" I gave all as smile as they then squished me into a hug.

"I'm so proud of you, sweetie!" Mom said as we broke off the hug.

"Thanks, mama." I gave her a smile.

The next day, I was busy meeting up of the project. I had been attending meetings or tending to calls. My only rest was with Alexander, at lunch time.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked as I scrolled through my phone, until he snatched it from me.

"What did you do that for?" I looked at him with a pout.
