"Well congratulations Essence, welcome to the Fenty team!"
"Oh my gosh, thank you so so much!" I beam with excitement as I hug Raina, Fenty's creative director.
"We'll keep in touch hun. I don't mean to rush you guys but we have another meeting in 5." She says.
"Ok." We say as we follow her out her office door and back into the lobby.
"Biiiiiiiitchhh!" Diamond, my manager exclaims as we both jump up and down when we get back outside.
"Oh my God!"
"You did it mama, I told you you would!"
"This is crazyyy , ten grand a month just to take pictures in Rihanna's lingerie!" I say.
"Yes ma'am!"
I pull my Iphone out of my Birkin tote as a FaceTime from Titan comes through.
"Oh shit, hey, I'll call you later mama, I gotta rush to this other meeting." Diamond says.
"Ok!" I wave to her and accept his call.
"Sup baby, how did it go?"
"I'm in!" I yell.
"I knew it, I'm proud of you." He smiles.
"Where are—"
I quickly whirl around as I get a tap on the shoulder.
"Surprise." Titan says as he stands there looking scrumptious as usual, holding a huge bouquet of bold red roses all wrapped up in a pink silk bow.
"Titaaan!" I do a little dance as I take them from him.
"Congrats baby girl." He kisses my lips.
"Awww , oh my gosh , thank yoouuuuu." I try not to cry. He can be so sweet or super sour , like a damn sour patch kid. I sniff the roses and they're heavenly, I look up , but then I frown. Shit!
"Can I take you to lunch?"
"Nah nigga I'm already doing that." Kamani says as he walks up holding a beautiful bouquet of pink roses. Damn it!
Titan's jaw tightens as he turns towards Kamani.
"Watch ya tone my nigga, you know we can always go again."
"Yea, aight."
"Y'all, please don't do this right now." I beg, Titan cuts his eyes at me.
"Man, bye." He says as he smacks the roses out of my hand and walks away. I gasp and turn to cuss him out , but I let it go.
"I ain't know you was still fuckin' with that disrespectful ass nigga." Kamani gives me a look.
"He kinda just showed up." I say looking down at the roses on the sidewalk.
"Right, well I assume you got the deal." He smiles as he hands me his.
"I did!" I cheese as I take them and breath in their aroma.
"Congrats ma." He smiles and bends over to pick up Titan's bouquet off the ground.
"You ready to go?" He asks.
"Yes, I'm starving."
Half an hour later were seated at our favorite upscale seafood restaurant The Splash.
"So I have to cancel those plans to go to the party tonight, I gotta get in the studio and finish up this track with Gucci."
"Awww , ok." I pout.
