With the kids away at Ms. Joanne's, it really gave Aja some flexibility to work on her side job, modeling. She packed a bag with various options for her evening out with Mina after the shoot. Just as she placed the last piece of clothing in her bag, Kyrie entered with a bouquet of flowers.

"Good morning baby." Aja rolled her eyes and looked over her shoulder while she popped on her heels.

"Morning Kyrie." The sound of her voice was laced with a hint of annoyance.

"I wanted to properly apologize for the things I've said to you and the kids yesterday, I-" Kyrie placed the bouquet down on her night stand.

"So, you think by giving me dick and a big ass bouquet of flowers is going somehow make what you said vanish?" He scratched the back of his head.

"That's not what it's about. If you let me talk-"

"What exactly is it about then enlighten me?" She folded her arms waiting for him to speak but his phone rang.

He looked down at it and held up his finger.

"Listen, I have more important things to be worried about then wetting your dick," Aja said throwing the strap of her floral duffel bag on her arm.

"Aja, could you at least meet me for dinner tonight? Please." He begged.  His phone rang once more.

"You should answer your phone, I know how important those calls are to you." Kyrie looked at his phone and back at Aja as she made her way out of the front door.

Aja posed as the photographer James took each shot. "Nice, very nice." He reviewed the image quickly.

She had been doing modeling part-time because of the kids and her dedication to GQ. All of those flights and being all over the world for days at a time wasn't what she wanted. Plus, the kids needed to have at least one parent who wasn't ripping and running the streets.

"Sit on the box and cross your legs for me." Aja did as she was instructed.

"Damn we may leave early today cause it's the first time ever Aja Darryl is listening to me." James joked.

Aja waved him off. "It's Irving and don't try to play me like that, you know damn well you're a perfectionist and moody whenever I have shoots with you." She playfully rolled her eyes.

"My fault Aja Irving," James said flashed his beautiful white teeth making her laugh.

There was no doubt that James was one of the most respected photographers in the world, he was also very handsome and professional but when he worked with Aja, it was completely different.

"Alright, I think I have all that I need." Aja nodded and grabbed his hand for help down the set of steps.

"Thank you, can I see the pictures now?" Aja asked.

"Not this time gorgeous, you know with me being a perfectionist and moody." He said letting go of her hand.

"Come on please James?" Aja pouted.

"Since you begging and shit, I'll make you a deal." James said rubbing his hands together.

"Okay. What's the deal, Birdman?" Aja squinted her eyes.

He smacked his lips."Stop by the studio next week with that bomb ass macaroni and cheese then we got a deal."

"Next week it is." They shook hands and conversed for a while longer until it was time for her to link up with Mina.
