Lies, Lies, Lies

Gaga couldn't sleep that night. She observed her husband peacefully succumb to slumber and she almost felt jealous.
She was just too restless. Liz was literally acting like an insane woman and Gaga wondered of what more she was capable of.
It was 5am when she started feeling a little too sleepy but then she heard Natali's three month old daughter crying and that was it. She was definetely not gonna get sleep.

-'I have to go to the house' Gaga said in a whisper, while serving her children some cereal, Mark nodded, -'Do you work today?', -'Yeah, I have to go choose some clothes for a photo shoot and all...I'm supposed to be busy', -'You'll be safe. I promise', Gaga nodded and held his hand from across the kitchen counter, -'I hope so. Take care of it. Talk o the label. Show them the security tapes if you need to', -'I will, promise'. Gaga nodded and kissed him quickly, -'Let me go shower and just...pick up some things back at the house'.

-'Bye babies, mamma has to work!', Gianluca smiled and threw his arms out for a hug, -'Bye mommy, see you later', -'Bye bye bubba remember to do homework ok?', -'Yes, I love you' he kissed her and then ran outside again.
-'BYE MA', Noa yelled, Natali frowned, 'why does she sound like that?', even when she talked, Noa sounded a bit weird because she could not hear herself so speech wasn't really her strength, -'Well she's still testing the new implant, isn't that right little bug?', she kissed her baby daughter and then her husband.

Gaga drove herself over at her house. And suddenly, as the gate was opening, she regretted having told the security to take some days off. She was completely alone.
She made her way upstairs and opened the balcony doors. The distant sound of the waves crashing was incredibly relaxing and she suddenly felt super tired so she decided to just take a well deserved nap before going about her day.
She changed into soft, silk pajamas and smiled, -'Im in heaven' she whispered before burying her face on her pillows and falling asleep almost immediately.

Three hours later, Gaga's phone alarm rang. It was time to wake up.
-'Ughh', she sighed deeply and started getting ready to go to Brandon's place to choose some clothes for an upcoming photo shoot.
She said bye to the loyal house cat, and hopped into her exotic sports car.

-'So what's this deal with your client and Stef?' Natali asked while she watched her little girl who was sleeping in a floor mat, -'Uhmm. She's not my client anymore, I'm quitting that gig. The girl was just super nosey and...she showed up at our place so that's totally not good for like our safety and such. I just hope she doesn't come near us again', Natali nodded, -'I hope so too'.

-'How about this slit black skirt, Gaga?' Brandon asked, Gaga looked over and frowned, -'Arents skirts too informal for the Emmys babe' she said, wriggling her nose, -'Maybe...okay, how about some green? Goes with your eyes', Gaga smiled wide, -'I like green, hook me up! Maybe some green and gold, what if I win my nominations? I have to be up there looking great', Brandon winked, -'Honey, you will look fantastic'.

Sara and Freddie performed make up and hair tests on her for hours, -'My eyes are itchy' she yawned, Sara bit her lip, -'Okay too much eyeliner on the waterline I think', -'Babes, its night time already, I wanna see my husband and children, how about we continue tomorrow', -'Okay sounds good...are you driving yourself?', -'Yes, sir! See y'all tomorrow at the same time okay? Love you'.

Gaga opened her mansions door, a bodyguard was waiting for her in a big fancy car ready to take her to her parents' place just a few minutes away; she just had to collect things for her children and some clothes for a meeting Mark had with his label.
She collected the babies' uniforms and fed the cat before running upstairs again and getting the suit jacket ready, she had turned into quite an efficient housewife and she loved tending for her family's needs.
She then remember Brandon had asked her to bring her brand new Giuseppe Zanotti golden shoes for the dress test the next day.
She immediately looked into the newly arrived boxes of shoes she had gotten....she could've SWORE they were there a few days ago. Now they were nowhere to be found.
She tapped her lip and looked at her phone, "9pm" she said aloud. It was late, her kids were probably in bed and she had to say goodnight.
She decided to brush the absent shoes off and rush to her husband and children.

Gaga observed Noa speak ASL silently, and nodded before responding -'I know it's late baby, mommy was working but she made it just in time for bed time', -'I missed you' the girl said with a pout on her face, Gaga shook her head, -'I missed you too but I'm here now...and you have school tomorrow so you have to sleep. Goodnight, I love you', -'Sweet dreams mamma'.

-Goodnight mom' Gianluca waved from under the covers and smiled before falling asleep. Gaga chuckled and then walked into the bedroom her and Mark were staying at, -'Hey handsome' she yawned, -'Come here, you look tired', -'...Well thank you', -'Like good tired', Gaga sat beside Mark and decided to just ask, -'Baby, the last shipment I got...of like shoes and clothes, remember?', -'A few days ago? Yeah? What about it', -'Well, I could've sworn i had and even TRIED ON a pair of gold Zanottis. I cant find them. Does that ring a bell?', -'Stefani, you get thousands of dollars worth of clothes every single week, how the fuck should I track a pair of shoes for you baby girl', Gaga laughed, -'I was just asking, the box is missing'.
