(Continued ^ *Earlier that day*)

"Mssss Zaeda Marie, how was your flight ? I hope not too long." James smiled before pulling me into a hug

"It wasn't baddd, I had time to shower and get changed so it was a win." I smiled before hugging him back

"I'm glad, we have everyone in the building just vibing, but I assigned you partner that'll help walk you through everything and of course make sure that you're taken care of since you came through for me boo." James said before hooking our arms and leading me inside

"Awee, I swear I love youu." I told him before he guided me into the room.

It was decorated earthy and nicely, it had plenty of lounging areas, a business table in the middle, and then of course a small art area to the side.

"We have multiple of art rooms, one of the pros about being here is you get your own room and you get to make it as authentic to your liking." He smiled

Just then a dark skin man approached us before flashing his white teeth and offering his hand out.

"You must be Zaeda?" He asked and I shook his hand before giving him a smile

"That's me."

"Nice to meet you, i'm Nathan and I guess i'm your tour guide for the day?" she chuckled before looking at James

"Yes yes, you take care of my girl okay ?" James told him and he nodded before laughing and shaking his head

"We can start upstairs and work our way back down if that's fine with you ?" He asked and I shrugged

"That's fine." I said and he nodded before we walked out the room and took the elevator upstairs.

I took another look at him because he looked familiar. It was like I had seen him from somewhere but never met him.

"You look so familiar..?" I said causing for him to look at me

"I live in your city so you've probably seen me around." He chuckled and I tilted my head

"I mean I live here but I still have a home in LA for family reasons so a commute when we aren't traveling" he explained

"How's that ?" I asked

"I get the best of both world's but honestly.." He started before looking at me

"When I moved here it changed the game, I definitely feel more in my element when it comes to art here, it's something about it."he said and I nodded

"Do you think it's the environment ?"

"100%, an artist being around a family of artist, it's a never a dull moment here." She laughed before opening the door for me.

I walked inside the empty room, but was immediately blown away by the city view.

"James isn't sure what he wants to do with this room yet, but between me and you, this is my hiding spot." He admitted

"I can see see why, the view is amazing." I smiled.

The room was also huge, basically the size of a big ass penthouse without the rooms.

"I love coming up here, especially at night, it's the best view of the city." He said before sticking his hands on his pockets

We stood in silence for a while watching all the cars go by and the busy city below us.

"Wanna see something else?" He asked and I nodded before following him to the other side of the room.

"You see those murals down there ?" He pointed causing for me to look down.
