This is such an big opportunity for my future as a model and designer and I couldn't be even more hyped for it. Being one of my dreams and something I've worked in since I was a small kid, then making it this far in my journey---it's unrealistic! It took a lot to get here, constant deals and sightings but I'm here in my first studio. It's been two years since I got out of college and I am fully able to put all my focus into my work and passion.

Throughout college, I've of course got through my studies and got a degree in Fashion Merchandising, Fashion Design, and Graphic Design. The summer and winter before my first year of college started, I got a head-start thanks to some pulled strings from my parents and the credits I already had and was able to finish some of my classes then. I worked my ass off and it's all worth it because now I can model with no distractions as well as build my company up. It's called Les Ombres which means just means Shades in English, but I wanted something more simple. It leaves more to the mind to interpret the reasons behind it.

Not only did I get my first studio but I also bought a new building so I can already have a large space to work with. And with more great news, I walk my first runway well I guess you can say streetwalk. It's a block party with stages and platforms for LVMH, and I'm on the Dior line. And I can thank Mamá for that with her connections and all here in the states.

I stood in the studio just taking in the dust that floated through the air, it was nasty in here but it was mine. I felt bulky arms surround me as I rested back against a hard chest.

"You did it baby, you got it." I smiled kissing his hand before I turned around putting my arms around him.

"I did, didn't I? And what about you Mr.Gates, you and your new chain of restaurants that are ready to open?", I smiled as he just shook his head,

"Not yet, gotta get some new employees. The niggas down here is dirty and I don't trust them in my place. Gotta search for some foreign niggas with some actual experience. Until then, it's back to the field for me."

"Baby, that sounds a little...never mind but you're gonna go back into the football season this early, I mean with training and all that?"

"Yeah, gotta bring some money into the house and get on my grind especially for something special coming up," I warmed up and interlaced out fingers together staring at my ring.

When he proposed to me, it annoyed me a bit. It's February now so it was maybe two months, nine days, and three hours ago that he proposed to me on one of our group dates. We went to an indoor skating rink and while I was ordering food for us to eat at the little eat in, he 'fell' on the the ice while I was worried to death that he bust his head or something. I rushed my ass over there nearly hurting myself, pushing people all out the way to see him on one knee.

When I tell you....I smacked the dog shit out of his ass for scaring me. We argued for a bit in front of everyone before he calmed down and gave me my ring. I may have cried a bit then but I know I for sure cried later that night. That was a good ass night too, fantastic.

"I still wonder how much this costs since you won't tell me, the rocks on this are huge but so beautiful," I pouted and rubbed on the jewels as he just kissed around my face.

"And you won't know cause it don't matter boo. I bought it because it fit you no matter the cost and if you love it that's all that matters."

"See that right there makes me think it's expensive as hell. And look at your engagement ring, it's a band but I know it's nowhere near the cost of mine." I held up our hands together as he just laughed like I'm dead serious.

I hate when people spend a bunch of money on me. I'm grateful for it, I'm not an ungrateful person at all, it just concerns me when people spend a bunch of money on me.

Messiah and I have been together for 8 years now and I still haven't gotten used to it but he keeps on giving me all I need and more that I can't do anything but give that back to him in the form of my everlasting love. With the generous return of my quote on quote 'fine ass that he can't get enough off', for his troubles of getting the stuff for me. Or just him being a fiend for sex any chance he gets.

"It doesn't matter, come on. Let's just go, I'm taking you out to celebrate this. My baby's out here stunting and shit!", I laughed at the little dancing he did and followed him out the building. He's still so goofy after all these years.


▸▸ The Next Day...

"Let's do some work boys!", I went ahead and picked up some weights and started getting some reps in

"Let's do some work boys!", I went ahead and picked up some weights and started getting some reps in. I surely didn't miss doing this in the off season and I wasn't happy getting back to it now. But it's what I gotta do to make a living, not to mention I got one of my boys doing it with me to keep me up in this. Speaking of him, there he go.

"Morning man," Kristian dapped me up as he set down his bag next to the machine next to me--sitting on the bench.

"I'm surprised to see you in here. Coach usually gotta kidnap yo ass to get you in here with us," he chuckled but he was right. It's weird that I'm a football player but I hate working out and shit, that's all I do! This whole job is a bunch of working out and shit if you think about it but I'm such a lazy motherfucker though.

"Yeah, I have to work man. More hard work, more money in my pockets that I need to make use of."

"For what, you planning or something?"

"Yeah, I want to do something else for Rain and there's something important I want to do so gotta go hard this season to bring in some money for it," it was a lot to be done and by the end of this year it was gonna happen.

"That's wassup, let me know how that go."

"You good man, baby alright? I know Élie been tired as hell." So apparently everybody can get pregnant and Kristian knocked his crazy ass up. That baby gon have some special personality traits considering the parents she got. But he's about 7 months along and last time I seen him, he was grumpy and always complaining about his body hurting. Élie has always been a bitch and I say that with love cause that's my little homie now, but since he got pregnant---he's a thousand times worse. Kristian has to come over to the house sometimes cause he be so tired.

"Babygirl is good but Élie is something else man. He been on my ass lately and I think it's because he's scared or sum. Think imma try to leave him before she's born so he try to keep me close as he can. Almost didn't let me out the house this morning."

"You should do something light for em, let him know you ain't leaving." Kristian sighed and shrugged, he look worn out.

"I'll try but we'll see cause he be in his little moods sometimes and I ain't tryna fuck with him then," we laughed at that before listening to coach about this season. This gonna be a tiring ride this year.
