"Sahara! Sahara!" I yelled as I was sitting behind my office desk skipping through a live recording of my show at The Rüfus Lounge in Montreal.
"Sahara!" I yelled again in a frustrated tone pausing the video in a set place.
"Yes! I'm sorry, sir. I was making your tea the way you like it." Sahara said rushing through the door with my tea in hand and briefcase in the other. There's something about the Yogi cocoa spice tea that calms my nerves. It soothes my throat which works well for my vocal cords.
"I called Anthony this morning so we can schedule your photoshoot for the upcoming album. He told me he has a few ideas he wants you to take a look at." Sahara said as she searched in her briefcase for the shots Anthony had sent over.
"Oh, shoot. I left them on the front desk." Sahara said and she turned towards the door, peeping her head out just a little and shouted.
"Danielle!! Can you bring the orange folder on the desk that says 'Idea Shots'. It should have Prince's name on it." Sahara carefully sat down in the chair adjacent to me going over the rest of the papers in her briefcase. I heard the door began to crack.

"Hi! Here's the folder you asked for." Dani said with ease as she handed the folder to Sahara.
"Oh- Good morning sir." Dani said to me as one of her many curls fell in front of her face. I hadn't had much interaction with Dani since we met for the first time the other day. I wanted to know the type of person she was. As she turned to walk out the door, I couldn't resist the urge to talk to her.
"Stay. I want your opinion on a few photoshoot ideas. Always good to have a fresh pair of eyes." I said nonchalantly trying to cover up my eagerness to confer with her.
"Okay, of course sir." She said in a surprising tone as she sat in the chair next to Sahara. I could feel Sahara's beetle like eyes staring me down in confusion as to why I asked Dani to join us.
I took the pictures from the folder and handed them to her. I didn't even give myself a chance to look at them that's how much I was willing to go with her opinion. I watched her big venom green like eyes gaze at each picture for a few minutes, sometimes going back and forth from one to another. While Dani was paying attention to the pictures, I was paying attention to her. She was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. Her curls lay softly across one side of her face as she soft bit her plumped pink lips. Her dark tan skin looked golden and smooth like a soft pillow. My favorite thing about her is her eyes... I've never seen anyone with eyes this green before. I was trying to stay focus on the task at hand but her flower like aroma filled my nose. I noticed Saraha looking at me and my body language so I quickly gathered myself together.
"So, what do you think?" I said in a delighted tone.
"You look great in all of them, sir. The blue outfit with the gold guitar and the yellow sleeveless shirt with the brown piano in the background are my favor— I mean those are the ones I'd go with." She said as she brushed her curls back from her face and smiled showing off her pearly shite teeth.

"I trust you..." I said as I gave a soft grin.
"Saraha, call Anthony and tell him these are the ones we'll go with!" I handed her the papers and stood up from my desk.
"I'm headed to the studio. Anything else you need can wait until tomorrow." I said specifically placing my eyes on Sahara. She's been with me for years and knows I don't want to be bothered when I'm working.
As I walked out the door, I stopped and turned back to take one more glimpse at Dani. She looked at me and smiled as I turned forward to head to the studio.
