Payson a 22 year old waitress who's trying to make an earning to pay bills, an apartment, to keep her car running and to pay for groceries. She had to drop out of college because she couldn't afford it, but didn't want to move back with her dad know...
"Payson" I hear someone but I don't want to get up. "Payson you need to get up" "What time is it?" "4 a.m." "No thank you" "Don't make me" "Make you what?" I challenge while still cuddled in my blankets. "You asked for it" There was a pause so I rolled over thinking Damon left, then while I was rolling over I felt the blankets off of me and arms around my waist pulling me up. "Damon!!" He chuckled and said "you asked for it" "I'm up now" He put me down and said "get dressed and then Destiny will make coffee and then we'll head out" Damon walks out and I make the bed and go to my closet. I picked a denim jumpsuit with sandals.

I went to the bathroom and took a shower, shaved, washed my face, put my hair through a brush and put on my outfit, with foundation and strawberry lipgloss apparently Alice and Tina said it's his favorite when they were packing my makeup bag so they added to my collection.
I walked out and grabbed my phone with my purse and walked down the stairs, thank gosh the third floor isn't as big as the second and last.
I got down the stairs and walked through the hallways to the kitchen to see a women with red long hair and blue eyes with freckles, she has a not flat stomach but decent size, she looks older like in her late 30's, maybe early 40's. "Good morning Payson I'm Destiny, I'm the chief here" "Good morning" how did she know my name? "I brewed up a cup for you and made some avocado toast" "Your here really early" "Nah it's alright when Damon has busy days I come in early and that just means I get to leave right after until he comes home unless he's out all day" "I see well nice to meet you" "You to, just know I can make you whatever you want whenever your hungry" "Thank you" She hands me a coffee with a lid on it. I open the lid and I ask "is there French Vanilla creamer?" "Yes I'll get it" She goes to the fridge and get the creamer and hands it to me with a spoon. I pour it in and stir it. I took a bite and it's so good. "Is Damon still upstairs?" I ask. "Yes he is, he takes sometimes longer than a girl" she whispers to me and I chuckle at her. "What are we whispering about?" I hear Damon behind. "Nothing just getting to know each other" Destiny says. He nods and Destiny hands him a coffee with creamer and he pours it in. Destiny hands him some avocado toast. Damon tells Destiny "thanks Destiny you can go after we'll be late tonight" "Sounds good, i'll do the dishes and then leave" We eat the rest of the toast and we put ourthings in the sink. "We can bring our coffee with us" "Ok" We walk out to the garage door and Damon walks to my Jeep . "You can drive" Damon says "I don't know where to go though" "Then I will for today but you will be driving this for now on" I nod and say "sounds good to me" I walk to the passenger side and it's beautiful, just as I imagined it . I smell that new car smell and I can't believe this is mine. "No val'e today?" I ask making conversation. "No too early I felt" "I see" "Yeah, so today will be a full day shooting the music video" "And I have to go why?" "Because why not?, and also for publicity since I have an interview tomorrow" "I see now, alright, so will I have to go with you tomorrow?" "No not this time since I don't want to overwhelm you but you will need to for the next one" I sighed a relief not having to go tomorrow, but doing an interview is scary. Will they like me? Will they be convinced? "Alright" I say hesitant. "You'll be fine I'll be right there so" I nod still not convinced. "Payson your ok we'll talk about it once it gets closer" "Okay" I say. We drive in silence until we got to this big production studio. Damon parks the Jeep and we get out. Damon grabs my hand and we walk in. There's people hustling around with cameras, lighting, people talking. "Damon costume change, Victoria is in her dressing room already" Sasha told him. "Will do so, come on Payson you can hang with Victoria if you want?" "Sure" I smiled a bit. We walk in a hallway and stop by a door that says Victoria. Damon knocks and it opens. "Payson come here let's talk while I get ready" she says. Damon chuckles and says "I'll leave you two girls to it" then walks off to a room next door. "Come on" Victoria leads me in and the room is decent size with a rack of clothes, couch with coffee table full of food and drinks, then a makeup station. Victoria sits in the make up chair and two ladies work on her. I go to the couch and sit. "So how was the weekend? I saw the pictures on Damon's page oh my gosh there beautiful" "It was fun and it was beautiful " "I was shocked that Damon went, like a pop star in the woods" "Me as well" I chuckled. "Did he ask you?" I blushed, even though it's not real, someone asking me if he popped the question, part of me wishes it was real, not with Damon but someone who I actually like. "Yes he did" She looked at me so excited "how was it in the woods?" Well it was more of a contract, I guess I'll have to lie, I'll have to tell Damon the lie so he knows. "Yes on the mountain with the eagle" "Aww so cute, I'm so happy he found someone actually is a good person" I smile a bit, kinda guilty because I just made an friend. After Victoria was finished with makeup and hair which was dark red and black but gorgeous. She puts on dark black button down dress, part of it hanging off her shoulder, with black heels. Man she's gorgeous, why couldn't she be with Damon instead of me. "Come on Payson you don't have to just be here" I get up and we walk out the door. Damon walks out next to us and I look at him. Wow he's beautiful, wearing black suit and his features are, Payson get out of it. "Ready?" Damon looks towards Victoria. "Yeah let's go" We all walk out to a set of a hotel? Interesting. "Well do the middle with you two then we'll do individually" the director said. "Sounds good to me" Victoria answered. "Payson you can stand by me" Sasha says behind me. I nod and go towards him. "Ready and go" the director says and points. They start and wow there moving in sink together and I kinda wish it was me, wait am I jealous? Nah that's crazy. I keep watching and they keep filming until break which was for an hour and a quick break then they kept doing that until 1:00. Eventually I had to sit down in a chair. "Ready?" Damon said. I look up from me phone which I was writing while they were filming. "For what?" He cracked a smile. "To eat" I get up and we go to his dressing room and sit on the couch. There was sandwiches there with water and fruit. We grab what we want. "Writing weren't we?" Damon asked. "Wait she writes?" Victoria walks in. "She does, I got to read a bit on the trip" Her mouth goes in a o shape. "I wanna read" She comes and sits next to me. "Can I?" I sigh and hand her my phone to read the book I'm writing. She read while she eats. Silence fills the room and I'm a bit worried she won't like it. "This is amazing who knew you had a gift, after you finish publish now" Victoria says. "That's what I said I had her read some lyrics and after we're all done were posting it together" Victoria put her hand to her heart "awww you two are a power couple, here" she gets up and goes in front of the coffee table and takes a picture. "Posting with a caption 'favorite power couple', and done" We finish eating and then go back to more shooting.
Eventually I just watch and wrote the whole day and then finally at 7:00 they end it and announce they'll be back on Wednesday and then Thursday and Friday, then the next week we leave for Damon's tour.
We ate with Victoria for dinner at the studio and then went home to go to bed after. "You did good" I told Damon. "Thanks and Victoria loves you so you convinced her" "Yeah I told her that how you asked me was on the mountain with the eagle overlooking on our weekend trip so I didn't know how else to tell her" "No that's great actually I like that, I'll tell the press that tomorrow" I smiled and walked into my room and got ready for bed. Why should I be jealous of Victoria? She clearly likes me and Damon even though it's fake. But still? Maybe it's just insecurities getting to me. I wash my face and brush my teeth, then put on pajamas and head to bed shutting my mind off.
