Just the Beginning

Only If You Knew

" Mommy , can I come with you " Nyayla begged. I was getting ready to go to a photo shoot at the studio.

" You really want to go ? You going to be bored like the last time " I said putting on Nyayla shoes.

" I promise I won't. Pweease ! " she said. I took her off the bed " Fine " I said. She jumped up and down and went into the kitchen to make her eat the breakfast I already prepared. Jordan was not answering his phone so I decided to drive myself today. I cleaned her dishes when she was finished and grabbed her bag and my duffle bag and walked to the car. I buckled her in her booster seat and got into the drivers seat. I pulled out of the driveway and headed to Manhattan.

I got to the studio and walked in with Nyayla in my arms. Naomi was at the front desk and her face lit up when she saw NyNy. She got out from behind her desk and grabbed Nyayla.

" Hey baby ! Look at you growing so big " she said kissing NyNy cheeks.

" Look " NyNy said pointing at her drawing she did in the car.

" Wow , my baby is going to be an artist " I said looking at the paper. I hugged Naomi and I took NyNy back and walked into Studio A where my shoot was being held. Jake ran towards me like always and hugged me and Nyayla.

" Nice to see you again " I said to Jake. He kissed Nyayla cheeks and I walked to my seat. I put her on the couch and sat down to do my make up. After I was finished I got into my outfit and got on set. I did 50 frames and they came out beautiful. I changed my outfit and makeup for the next set and got back to the camera. I was only into 10 frames when Nyayla ran up to me. I picked her up and held her.

" A baby can't be on set " some guy said.

" Well this is MY baby and she is going to be in this one " I snapped. He didn't say another word and they took many pictures of us in different poses.

After we were finished I changed back into my jeans and white v neck with my heels. I kept the makeup on and left my hair how it was and picked up Nyayla to leave. It was only 6 o'clock so I decided to pick her up something to eat and then go to Ashanti house. I drove to McDonalds and ordered her a kids meal and a salad for me. I paid then drove to Ashanti house.

We pulled up to my sister house and I got Nyayla out. She was playing with her toy from her Happy Meal. I knocked on the door waiting for her to answer. The door opened and Megan answered. Megan was there 9 year old daughter.

" Hey Auntie Cleo " she said hugging me.

" Hey Meg ", I said kissing her forehead. I stepped in the house and the place looked like it was turned upside down.

" What happened in here ?! " I said trying not to step on glass.

" Mom and Dad been arguing " she said looking at me. I still heard yelling. I told Megan to take Nyayla in the room and closed the door with both of them inside. I walked to Ashanti room and opened the door. A glass came flying towards the door. I shut the door quickly then opened it. I walked in at they stopped.

" What is wrong with you guys ! " I yelled

" Ask your sister. " Marcus said with his shirt ripped.

" Ask me ?! Ask you ! Why are you going on dates with other females ! " she said charging after him. I held her back.

" Chill out ! You can't do this when Megan is in the house. What the hell is wrong with you guys ! " I yelled. They stopped.

" I didn't go on any dates with any female. It was friendly lunch. I did nothing wrong " he said which even got Ashanti more angry. She threw a picture frame at him.
