They met under difficult circumstances and are from two different worlds? What happens when fate brings them together again?
This was written a little while ago, read at your own discretion.
I know, I know, I know where in the world have I been?!?!?! Honestly...right here. I read books on Wattpad every single day but, the inspiration to update just...isn't there. Let me be honest with y'all when I started this book my aim was to target my plus size readers and write about something you don't really come across on this app. That still is my goal so...with that being said I won't let y'all down. I pinky promise! The updates may be realllllyyy slow but, if it ever comes to the point where I see no way of continuing I'll let y'all know. S/o to whoever still has this in their library...you loyal, I appreciate you!
On with the chapter...
Anita
It's been awhile, hey guys!
Today I was being interviewed on The Real to talk about the struggles I went through as an African American plus sized model, the rejection I faced not only because of the color of my skin but also the size of my waist. This was a very touchy subject for me, yes I am very much comfortable in who I am but, the journey to get here was no walk in the park. So, today Selena & Aniyah were joining me for moral support. If there was one thing I could say about my bestfriend and sister it would be how supportive they are of me. There was not one time I felt like giving up and they didn't comfort me, not one time did I call my bestfriend for guidance and she didn't pick up the phone. Good friends and family come a dime a dozen and I thank God everyday for the support system he has provided me with. He's the real MVP.
"ANITA!!" Selena yelled at me taking me out of the trance I was in. We were in the dressing room and I was getting ready, for talk with the girls.
"What?"
"Don't you hear your phone ringing girl?" I looked down and it was ringing, it was a FaceTime call from my baby
"Hey baby" I said rolling my eyes at how he was smacking in the camera. (biggest pet peeve)
"Keep on doing that, they gone eventually fall out one of these days"
"Yea yea yea...how you feeling?" I said concerned, August too was supposed to be here but, he had been working so hard these past couple of week that I told him to stay in Atlanta and get some rest. We don't want a repeat of the last time he started neglecting his health.
"I'm good resting, thanks fa being so concerned baybeh. Real question is how is you feelin?"
"I'm fine. Nervous but fine nonetheless"
"You wanna say a quick prayer?" I took a deep breath and nodded
"Dear Heavenly Father, how you doin' up there big guy? Today my baybeh, the angel you sent for little ol' me is nervous about the interview she gatta do today. So Father God, I ask that you would relieve her body of all nervousness, doubtful thinking, and uncertainty Father God. We ask that you comfort her mind, body, and spirit. She talm bout a touchy subject today so I ask that you gift her with clarity a' speech and a clear mind. You are da most high and we Thank you, thank you for this journey you have led her through. The battle is not finished but, Dear God we have faith that you gon' bring her through in Jesus name we pray. The battle is not hers but the Lords. Amen."
"Amen." I took another deep breath and felt relief rush through my body.
"You feelin' betta?" I nodded
"Words baybeh"
"Yes I feel better Anthony, thank you so much" I blew him a kiss and he pretended to dodge it
"Ion want your kisses, don't know where ya mouth bin"
"Not on you." I mumbled just to get him a little worked up
"Get messed up, just got done talkin ta' Jesus and you already tryin me" He said doing the cross on his chest. This man was a trip but, he was my trip.
"Aweee" I turned my head and Selena was dabbing her eyes. Dramatic much?
"When your sister is your real life goals, Anita say hey" Aniyah said recording me on Snapchat
"Heyyyy"
"August say hey to my Snapchat" She turned the video towards my phone screen
"Wazzam snap"
"They goals y'all" She said turning the camera towards her and ending the video
"Anita we're almost ready for you, are you ready?" Cassandra, the producer said entering the room
"Yea almost"
"Okay well you're on in 5"
"Okay" I smiled at her and looked back towards my phone
"You ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be" I took another deep breath and let the make up artist touch up my makeup once more
"Can I see how you look?" I handed Selena the camera and smiled so he could see my hair and makeup
"You look beautiful Hope, though you'd look just as beautiful without all of the extra" I rolled my eyes at that, that's another story for a different day.

The line went silent for a couple second. "Dang"
I laughed and tried not to roll my eyes he was so dramatic.
"Baybeh you look good, reaalll good. I just may be on the next flight out of here" I laughed again and thanked him.
"Okay well I'll talk to you later baby" It was now that I noticed that he looked like he was leaving the-
"SHOWTIME!" Cassandra walked in the room and told me it was time to go
"I'a see you later baby" Later!? Whatever, I have bigger fish to fry right now
"Okay bye, love you" I blew him a kiss and this time he caught it. I handed my phone to Aniyah and walked towards the stage. I said a quick prayer as the welcomed me.
