I finished the New York, London, and Paris fashion weeks and was back in LA. I haven't spoken to Nikki since New York and I felt alright with it. I thought this year would be different for me. I thought that happiness was going to be just around the corner. Maybe there isn't such a thing, or maybe there is but I would just have to find it with the right person. Me and Nikki aren't meant to be together. I want a guy who's like me. Decent, no drugs, no drinking, no swearing, no fighting, and no name-calling. I think Jess was right when she said I was too young to start dating. When I'm in my twenties and more mature I feel like I'll be ready.

I woke up to hearing Tamara yelling nonstop on the phone. I got up and opened my bedroom door and saw her pacing back and forth. Jess was also here sitting on the couch. She waved for me to go back into the room. I nodded and walked back in. I sat on my bed wondering what was going on.

Jess came in and explained that Tamara would have to leave for Atlanta tonight due to an emergency.

The door then barged open revealing a very angry Tamara. "This is unbelievable! He's a greedy vulture who wants money because he's too lazy to work. I can't believe this man!" She said as she paced the room.

"Hey Tami, how long are you staying for?" Jess interrupted.

"Till November 30th." She turned to me and sighed. "I'm going to leave you in Jess's care, she'll go to all your photo shoots and events with you. You're also going to stay at her place."

"Oh, Tamara come on I can stay by myself," I whined.

"No, you're staying with Jess." She spoke firmly.

"How come you don't trust me?" I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest.

Tamara sighed and looked at Jess. 

"I trust her." Jess shrugged.

"Fine, I need to call your mom and let her know. Oh, and uh Jess you want to give her the good news." Tamara smiled at me.

"What news is this?" I furrowed my brows looking at Jess.

"Who is your favorite artist?" She asked smiling at me.

"You guys know this already Michael Jackson."

"Well MJ has a new music video coming out called The Way You Make Me Feel, and he needs a girl to play his love interest-"

"Jess shut up! Do not tell me I'm the girl!" I interrupted her and said with nervousness and excitement.

"You're the girl!" She screamed.

I screamed at the top of my lungs and jumped up and down. "I can't believe this!" I screamed again.

"Oh, my goodness all the yelling settle down sweety," Tamara says as she walks back in. "Ok the filming date is on the 31st but you're going to meet him before that to get some chemistry going between the both of you.
