"We're here for Diana." Aliyah said Smiling up at the receptionist.
"Name?" She asked wide eyed.
"Myles" I said checking the time.
"Right this way" She said showing us to an elevator marked D.K.S before pressing number 7.
"Thank you" I nodded at her dragging them into the elevator.
"What do you think we'll be shooting?" Aliyah asked
"Don't know" I shrugged.
Walking off the elevator a crash came, following the sound I was stunned at the scene.
Standing there giving orders in a firm tone was Dia with blabbering Amira on her hip.
"I said I need a two way mirror effect not a stack of mirrors or a mirror maze!"
"Hey! Somebody get me Tony this second. I said I'll give you a break every two hours why are you are you eating on my time!?" She said pacing the set.
Watching as a plump girl whispered something to her before she peeked over at us.
"Give me a sec" She called over her shoulder before continuing.
"Alright people I'll give you another 15 minutes to get this right." Walking over she handed a happy Amira to me.
"Let's go" she said walking ahead to a sitting area tucked away behind a screen.
Sitting opposite us she dragged the girl from earlier. "Thank you for coming on such short notice. I'm Dia and this pretty little flower here is Kelly my friend, business partner and manager. Welcome to our studio."
This side of hers is quite surprising. The way she carries herself this is clearly her zone—too smooth the ignore and too sharp to challenge. I watch silently as Amira crawled on the sofa.
"That's Tyrese, Tyrell, Ahmad, Ataria, Akacia, Alyssa, Aneika, Ariona, and you know Aliyah." I said introducing them
"Ok nice to meet you all. We got about fifty outfits for this shoot. I know you're not professionals so we'll start off slow. Just remember to have fun shooting. There will be a behind the scenes clip just be careful."
"Now boys to the left girls on the right. You take the babies and come with me." She said looking at me briefly before looking away.
"The twins are a bit shy so we'll start them off in a small group." She said handing me a folder.
"Sign those." She threw at me talking to the kids and helping them with the clothes.
Not wanting to distract her I took the baby for a walk after signing. I remember seeing a park next-door so I plan on taking a blabbering Amira there.
She's just like her mom. I smile That's exactly how I met her mom she was blabbering away to herself and after a few conversations of nothing remotely close to ourselves then she ended up dragging me to a club drinking and dancing.
That day she had said she was tired and wanted a break so she ran away for a solo vacation.
"Daddy" She dragged bringing my attention to her.
"Yes princess?" I asked as she pinched my face. "Eat" She said pointing to her mouth.
Nodding I changed directions going to the Café instead.
I just knew I messed up as soon as I walked through the door. Ignoring the shocked looks I walked to the counter pointing at the desserts in the showcase leaving her to choose.
"Daddy " She called looking at me with shining eyes pointing at the bright pink cupcake and donut with sprinkles.
Should've known that's the only bright pink in the showcase.
"Can I get a mixed box of cupcakes. Like half cupcake half donuts and small box of chocolate cookies." I told the cashier.
"Anything else?" She asked staring wide eyed.
"Give me one cupake, a plastic spoon, a room temperature bottled water, and an orange juice" I said before paying and finding an empty table.
Walking to the table I'm blocked by a group of girls.
"Could we please get a picture?" She asked looking shy.
Smiling slightly I spoke "Normally I'd love to but not today." I said pointing to Amira who's clinging to me for dear life.
"Oh... I'm sorry."
"That's kool. I could sign something if you'd like." I said sitting down as the waitress came with my order.
"That's fine." She nodded. After sending them away I chilled with babygirl for a while before she fell asleep.
