 I finally get up from my bed after sitting in my apartment for three days now, I walk in the bathroom and start my bubble bath. While my water is running, I wash my face with facial cleaner and brush my teeth. As soon as I am done putting on my charcoal mask, I take off my pajamas and slowly get in the tub, trying not to go to fast since I made it sorta too hot. As the Tank station on Pandora starts playing, my best friend/manager Lisa calls me.

When I first met Lisa, she worked in Florida as a bartender at KOD. She is originally from Brazil but moved to Miami to get away from her overbearing father. She reminded me of Rihanna with a Bernice body. After my manager quit, Lisa stepped up and always came through for me landing modeling gigs like front cover of the Kanaka magazine in Maui and numerous photo shoots overseas. I have a strict policy about appearing in rap videos because of my high reputation as a role model for younger kids, so it's rare you would see me in a video. Lisa always put me first but never finds time for herself. For example, when I first opened Diamonds, my shoe store, Lisa worked overtime building my other stores

in cities like Chicago, NY, LA, Miami, and here in Atlanta. When I talked to her yesterday, she was booking us a flight to NY to check on the store so I'm wondering if that's the reason why she is calling.

"Sup Li"

"What you doing? I hope you getting ready for tonight."

"I'm in the tub right now."

"Good. I think you are going to enjoy tonight. You know Deondre, the dude that owns the water you always buy plus that famous shoe store in Buckhead? He gone be there with his homies so you know you gotta pop out extra fine Bitch, you know what to do?" She said, sounding ghetto as hell.

"Lisa, I was hoping tonight was gonna be a chill night. I was gonna do a lil chit-chat and come back in the crib to watch a movie. Aye, how he find out about the dinner, anyway?" I asked curiously. Let me find out they been posting this shit all over social media. Since I got back from Maui, I've been staying lowkey, occasionally posting pictures from different projects that I did while I was overseas. Since the reality of me almost losing my life being in a coma for two weeks made me realize that I had to change the direction my life was going. After getting out of the hospital, Slim and my mom decided to hide me in Oxford for a year, which made me focus on modeling more. Now most of my contracts and projects are overseas now so I'm rarely in the states.

"You know Britt roommate, Sasha? Well she talked to one of his homies and rumor has it Deondre been asking about you, so tonight you gon put on your best fit and bring yo ass." she said hanging up. After shaving my legs, I took a shower thinking about what I was going to wear tonight.

Deondre Blackmond is this chocolate, medium built, tattoos, arrogant but fine man that stands about 6'2. He used to be friends with Sean so I seen him around a few times but we never spoke to each other. One of Lisa's old co-worker wanted to talk to him so once they had sex, he kicked her out his room and never talked to her again. She came back to the room mad as hell, saying the sex was bad and his thang was little. Well truth be told, his pictures do him justice and that thirst trap he posted a couple weeks ago with him standing in the bathroom only in boxers, it didn't look little to me.

Getting out of the shower, I moisturize my body with Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction lotion and body oil. I decided to wear my emerald green oversized ring detail blazer dress from Pretty Little Thing with my black giuseppe's, and a black clutch. I didn't do much to my makeup, just a minor beat.
