Ciara
Today was the day of my next photo shoot for Givenchy's winter collection. We'd been on set shooting all day, and we were just finishing up. After the photographer took my last photo, he called me over. I walked over to his side where he showed me his camera screen.

"Wow! Those turned out great!" I say while looking over the pictures from my shoot.

"Yes, indeed they did! You're a natural!"

"Thank you!" We looked over a few more of the shots.

"The people are going to love these. They're amazing." He said in awe.

After we got done, I made my way to the dressing room. I sat at the vanity using a makeup wipe to remove the makeup from my skin. Caesar took my hair down. We decided to go with a 30-inch jet-black frontal wig today. After he removed it, he began taking my braids out. While he did that, I pulled out my phone to text a few people before browsing on my social media accounts. Nothing much was going on. Just the usual tabloid drama. When he finished taking my braids out, he left the dressing room. I changed into a sweatshirt and sweatpants. This shoot didn't take as long as the last shoot, to my surprise. It was a few hours shorter. So we finished at noon, thankfully. I figured I would go out to get some lunch before heading home. We had a busy day, and I'm sure Caesar and Yoli were hungry. So I invited them to lunch with me.

For lunch, we decided on Mexican food. Each of us took our cars and met up at the nearest restaurant. When we got inside, we got a table for three, and the host led us to our table. Not long after, a waitress came and asked us what we wanted to drink. After we told him, he wrote it down and left our table. While we waited, we looked over our menus.

"Gosh, this all looks so good. I can't make up my mind," I say as I continue looking over the menu.

"You're right about that." Yoli agreed while doing the same.

"I think I'll get fajitas with a side order of quesadillas."

"Dang, girl!" Caeser laughed.

"What? Y'all know I love to eat." I laughed.

"Oh, we know," Yoli says. After we order, our food doesn't take long to get here.

"So, let's talk about this movie audition you have coming up at the end of the month," Caesar says after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Well...I don't want to talk too much about it. Especially since I don't have the part secured."

"Yet. You don't have the part secured yet, Ci." Yoli says as she sits her glass of water back down on the table.

"Exactly. Have some faith mamas." Caesar speaks out.

"Can you at least tell us what the movie's about?" She asks, causing me to roll my eyes playfully.

"Fine. I can only tell you so much, though. I don't know the full storyline at the moment." She shrugs her shoulders.

"Okay. Well, it's a horror film. I'm auditioning for one of the leading roles as Ava." She raises her brow.

"Tell us more." They gave me their full attention.

"Ava will have a co-star who she plays the girlfriend of. Her co-star turns out to be bipolar, and he becomes abusive toward her. Basically, she tries to escape from him without getting killed." I say, trying to make the summary as brief as possible.
