The first thing I see when my eyes open the next morning is Juliette.
Her brown hair was sprawled all over the white pillow, covering most of her face, yet I still could see her left eye shut, and her pink plump lips taking in small breaths. A few inches right under all her hair I got a glimpse of Aaliyah's dark curls, and her small hands which laid one on top of the other near Juliette's chest.
My phone buzzed on the night table, and I reached over carefully, and got out of bed at 6:00 am. Without making much noise, I brushed my teeth and took a cold shower, then dressed myself in whatever since we would be changing for the photo shoot either way. A few things were on the schedule for today, which I didn't really like since it meant I won't be back until later on today. The last thing I wanted after last night was to be away from Juliette and Aaliyah, but I forced myself to be okay with it since Juliette was still here.
"Where are you going?" Juliette mumbles as she turns to me, and I look up to meet her gaze from my shoe laces. The warm tone makes me smile almost immediately.
"I have a photo shoot, then studio time and a meeting for the video for the new song." I finish up with my other shoe and quietly walk over to her, kneeling down before the bed as she slowly turns to me. Using my fingers I scoop the hair on her face away, tucking the dark strands behind her ear, then give into the urge of kissing her red tinted lips. "I'll be back for dinner."
"You promise?" Her brown eyes focus on me as I nod, then held my pinky to hers when she raises it.
Hopefully the next days pass by fast.

The boys and I wrap up 'De Cero' at around 4 PM, and head out for a small lunch break before our meeting with the director. We settle for Chipotle, and on the way I text Juliette to check up on her and Aaliyah. Not only does she reply, but she sends me a cute picture of them two out on the beach of the hotel. The best part was that Juliette was wearing a dress and not a bikini, and her and Aaliyah were matching.
"Richard, what do you think?" I look up at Christopher, setting my phone down and joining in on the conversation. They were stating ideas they wanted to mention to the director, including their whole idea of making it seem like a video within a video, which I thought was unique and something the fans might like.
"Yo lo que quiero es un tatuaje," Zabdi comments, and we all stop the overlapping conversations at this. Now, everyone knows that besides Joel, the other saint in the group is Zabdiel. He's a big guy, and he's somewhat muscular, but he's more like a chill nerd if anything. "Aqui." He points the black plastic fork to the part of his neck that merges into his shoulder.
