"Wassup bro?" Steve and I dapped then I took a seat at my desk.

"We gotta talk Steve. You know about Nyla and I, right?" He nodded.

I got up from my seat and started to walk around my office.

"I was thinking about throwing an engagement party for her, tonight"

He chuckled.

"DJ growing up on me. I remember those days when you said you prefer to be a bachelor now my nigga getting married"

I smiled.

"When you find someone you love, someone who motivates you to do better. You don't let them slip away. You keep them"

He nodded.

"Nigga let's get this planning on the way"

"It's a big thing. I know for sure that the paparazzi will be there. I've sent out invitations already. My people are down at Vanquish dealing with everything"

"Most important thing?"

"Let's go get the ring"

We walked downstairs to the car and headed to Ascot Diamonds.

I decided to text Nyla.

DJ: Baby

Nyla: Yes honey

DJ: Two girls will come collect you and take you to do your hair and make up later. We're going to a party.

Nyla: Aww baby! I need this. Thank you so much

DJ: Anything for you.

I smiled as I turned off my phone.

"Okay. Last one! Turn a little to the left and tilt your head a little. Perfect!" I snapped the picture.

"Okay, we're done" everyone applauded.

I was out of the house since 6 this morning. It's currently 3 in the afternoon and I haven't eaten for the day.

Living off caffeine.

Lala came and sat beside me as I relaxed.

"Here you go" she said handing me a hamburger and a coke.

"Ahh thanks" I smiled.

"Melo suppose to fly in today. Some party we're suppose to go to tonight"

"Oh maybe that's the same party Derek and I suppose to attend"

"Yeah let me ask him" she said then went on her phone.

After a few minutes she came off.

"Who's party?"

"Oh some one of his friends" she smirked.

"How's you and Derek though?" I smiled.

"Great you know. He's been nothing but supportive through everything. He has my back. He treats me right. Pampers me every weekend. Takes me shopping. Random lunch and late nights date. All in all, he's everything"
