Lima moves to America with her friends but not before she went to see Billie for her last place of the world tour. Billie is her childhood friend that left to pursue her singing career. Lima became a top designer and made 2 new friends. Those two me...
As the shoot comes to an end, I'm exhausted but satisfied with the way everything went. The photographer looks approvingly at the results, and the crew starts breaking down the set. I'm in the middle of wiping off my makeup when I see Gio and king approach me. Gio pointing like she's gonna squeeze me and king making fart noises with her mouth as we walks. They look dumb.

Gio swag walks over to me, her eyes raking me up and down appraisingly. She wolf-whistles, drawing attention from the other models.
I laugh as King approaches us and wraps her arms around me in a warm hug. "Bitch, you looked smokin' hot today," she says, her voice admiring.
I grin, a bit embarrassed but appreciating King's compliment. "Thanks," I say, smoothing down my messy hair. "I feel like I was a total mess out there, but I guess it turned out okay."
"Bitch, shut up," King says, rolling her eyes playfully. "You know you look stunning no matter what. You're the definition of fierce."
Gio grins, adding her own two cents. "Yeah, you looked like a damn supermodel out there. I was drooling over you." I shake my head, laughing and blushing at their compliments. "Stop it," I exclaim, swatting at Gio. "You guys are too much...keep going."
King laughs and grabs my hand, looping her arm through mine. "Come on, let's go get some drinks," she says, pulling me towards the exit. "You two are making me feel invisible here."
Gio follows close behind, still grinning. "Yeah, let's go have some fun. You know, Lima, you were smokin' hot on camera, but you're a bad bitch in person. Zont play wit ha!" I chuckle and grab my stuff.
"Let me go say bye to bils real quick."
I make my way over to Billie, who's talking to the photographer. As she spots me, she excuses herself and walks over, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction.
"Hey baby," she says, wrapping an arm around my waist. "You did great out there."
I grin, feeling the warmth of her touch. "You think so? I felt like a dummy half the time."
"Oh, please," she chuckles, running her fingers through my hair. "You were a natural. The camera loves you, you know that?" I laugh and swat her hand away, feeling a bit shy. "Stop it, you're just saying that because you're biased."
I lean in and press a quick kiss to her lips, savoring the familiar warmth of her mouth. "See you later," I murmur, reluctantly pulling away. Billie grins, her eyes soft. "Yeah, later. Don't have too much fun without me."
"I make no promises," I tease, sticking out my tongue. "You know how it is when I'm with Gio and King."
As I step back, Maya Hawke, Billie's manager and good friend, walks over to us. She raises an eyebrow at our farewell, a small smirk on her face. "Hey, lovebirds," she teases, arching an eyebrow. "Trying to stay PG-13 in public, eh?"
Billie rolls her eyes but grins good-naturedly. "Oh, shut up. We were just saying goodbye.""Right, of course," Maya says, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Just a friendly, innocent kiss between gays, nothing more."
I chuckle and give Maya a quick hug, playing along with her teasing. "Yeah, you know us. Just gay pals, doing what gay pals do.""Yeah, sure," Maya retorts, returning my hug. "Just keep that public display of affection to a minimum, alright? We don't need any more scandalous headlines."
With a final wave over my shoulder at Billie and Maya, I turn back towards Gio and King, who are waiting impatiently for me. "Took you long enough bitch," Gio teases, slinging an arm around my shoulders. "We thought you'd never say bye to your girlfriend there."
I swat her hand away playfully. "Oh, shut up. You know how clingy Billie can be." "Yeah, yeah," King chimes in, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "We know. She practically has you on a leash."
"Hey, you two are one to talk," I retort, elbowing them both in the ribs. "You're basically glued to my side whenever we go out.""Guilty as charged," Gio says, holding up her hands in mock surrender. "But can you blame us? You're way more fun than your brooding girlfriend over there."
"Hey," I protest, though I can't help but laugh. "Billie's not brooding. She's just...intense.""Intense is an understatement," King says, rolling her eyes. "She's like a force of nature. It's a wonder you don't get sucked into her gravitational pull every time you're together."
"It's a struggle, let me tell you," I reply, shaking my head. "But when she's not being her usual high-powered self, she's actually pretty sweet and fun-loving."
"You're so whipped, it's not even fucking funny," Gio says, poking me in the ribs. "Admit it, you're completely obsessed.""I am not," I protest, though I can't disguise the hint of a smile on my face. "I just...have eyes, you know? She's gorgeous and successful and talented. Who wouldn't be drawn to someone like that?"
Gio and King exchange a look, clearly skeptical of my attempts to downplay my feelings for Billie.
"Yeah, we know," Gio says, her tone playful. "But it's not just her looks and success that you like. We've seen the way you look at her when you think no one's watching. You're head over heels whether you want to admit it or not." King nods "plus you're successful too!"
I huff and look away, refusing to meet their gazes. They're right, of course. I am hopelessly in love with Billie. But I'm not about to admit it and give them the satisfaction.
King bumps her shoulder against mine, giving me a knowing grin. "You can deny it all you want, but we know the truth. You're in love deeper than the Mariana Trench."
"Hey, get back here!" Gio calls out, laughing as she and King give chase. "You can't outrun us, you know that!"
