"That's not the first time I've heard that," I laughed at Tessa's choice of words as she slowly made her way over, wincing with each step as she held her hip.

"Shut up," she groaned, a small smile hinting at her lips. "Damn, that hurt."

"Are you okay?" I questioned as I was actually worried because she landed hard on the tile.

"I think so," she came over to Kira and me. "I'll probably find a bruise tomorrow."

"Reckless hoe," Kira laughed. "Anyway, surprise!" she threw her hands up in the air and giggled. "I brought you the Justin Bieber."

"Dreams do come true," she grinned. "I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that Justin is the model you were working with today."

"Bitch, you guessed it," Kira pointed at her. "You is right."

"I'm always right," Tessa flipped her hair over her shoulder then her eyes landed on me and she smiled again.

"Please sit down," Kira pointed to the couch. "I'm just gonna change real quick."

"Okay," I smiled and followed Tessa back to the couch as Kira skipped to her room, closing the door behind her once she was inside.

"How was it spending the entire day with Kira?" Tessa questioned while plopping down on the couch. I took a seat next to her and clasped my hands together on my lap. "Was it hard to focus?"

"Actually it was a little hard to focus in the beginning because she's so gorgeous," I answered truthfully. "But once we got to talking and broke past that little barrier, I was good."

"I bet she was trying hard not to fangirl," Tessa laughed.

"She was real chill," I shrugged.

"Yeah, I know. She's like that on the outside, but I know that deep down she's a fangirl. She doesn't know that I know, but she listens to Purpose like everyday."

"Yeah?" I started to smile, appreciative that Kira listened to my music. When we were talking, I didn't ask any questions like that because I didn't want to sound full of myself. I did think about it, though.

"I know so. She may have her door closed sometimes, but I can hear when she starts the album and your angelic vocals on Mark My Words plays. She's a lowkey belieber."

"What's that mean?" I laughed as I unclasped my hands and rested my left arm along the top of the couch, my hand landing behind her head.

"A lowkey belieber?" I nodded my head. "Like one that doesn't have public outburst when your music comes on, doesn't do any type of fangirling, doesn't really keep up with your personal life. It's all about the music for her."

"Kinda like how it should be, don't you think?" I questioned. Back when I first started out in the industry, it was all about my music and no one was worried about if I had a girlfriend or female companions. Now it's like anytime they see me with someone they jump to conclusions and it causes unnecessary drama.

"Yeah, but with social media and everything it's kinda hard not to just focus on your music. We all like knowing what you're doing, which is why when you got snapchat we all flipped shit," Tessa giggled and I thought it was a little cute. "It's just cool to see you being your little weird self."
