part 3/B

“Are you going to light it ?” he asked 

“no i am going to save it for later” i attempt to put it in my pants pocket. 

 "Do you have a lighter?

“No”

 "maybe you should smoke it now since i have lighter , plus where are you going to keep the cigarette, loose in your pocket? It’s going to get crushed “ 

I darted my eyes and started panicking  and said  "you are right I should smoke this cigarette cause I did say I was a smoker." 

He lit the cigarette for me, I inhaled it and the back of my throat burned right away and I had the biggest coughing fit of my life.

He took the cigarette from me and. Pulled out water from his pocket and gave it to me.

“Drink this,” he said. 

I drank it and felt myself calming down

A couple of minutes later 

He asked, “You don’t smoke do you ?”

I shook my head no 

“You are so funny ,Why did you say you did?” 

“I don’t know” i said while looking down ashamed of myself 

“I am a little stressed i was hoping it will calm me down” i added 

 “How did that go , are you calm now?. He rubbed my back. Gently with no intention 

He shook his head. “You are so funny” he said

I realized him saying i was so funny was his way of telling me i was silly 

We sat in silence for a second. 

My phone beeped. 

We should go back to work, our 15 mins is up.

Nah sit for a second relax ,you almost died in my arms we are basically done for the day. We just have to clean up. It will take us 10 mins tops to clean up.

I tried to sit with him for longer but it was my first day and I needed to get things done. 

“Ok I gotta get going” I said he just nodded. 

Aria never came back to work he just left as the shoot was over

PART 3/A

I finished my training and it was time to work on my own . The day had started on a bad note. The shoot was supposed to start at 7am. It didn't start till 815 am. I forgot my phone and computer at home. I didn't realize it until I was in the building. The good thing was I was 30 minutes early. The other good news was I lived a 15 minute ride away so I didn't end up being too, too late. I was late but I still showed up15 minutes before Aria. 

After a hectic morning I needed some fresh air. The building had a rooftop garden. It was a nice sunny day . I saw a text from mom

Hey baby girl I hope your first day in the studio is going well, I am so proud of you, you deserve this.   

I quickly replied 

Thank you so far so good , I will call you on the weekend with more deeds .

K she replied 

I sat on the bench, then decided to lay down and rest my body. Just scrolling and refreshing all my social media over and over again. Like something interesting ever happens on Tuesday 10:15 am. While looking at my phone hoping someone other than my mom texts me.  I heard a voice say 

“Do you mind if I join ?”,, I looked up. It was Aria.

“Of course not”, I got up and moved over so he could sit 

“How is your first official solo day going”, he asked 

“Great great.” I said my voice went up an octave. I cleared my throat 

“You don't sound too sure” he laughed in amusement. 

"I am sure,"I lied 

We sat in silence for a few minutes. 

“You wanna know what i think” he said 

“No , but go ahead”, I said. He laughed. 

“You are overthinking it , just go with your gut. You have a great eye and are doing well. Just be confident in it. Also don't doubt yourself in front of the artist they see you doubt yourself they stop trusting you. Just fake it till you make it. And you being late that happens you know. Everything does not have to be perfect, it is what it is.”  

Hearing his validation made my heart warm after trying to make everything a hundred percent all day. It was nice for some to notice that I was trying . 

“You are going to be amazing at this job, I am glad we got put together” he patted my shoulder and pulled out a cigarette 

“Do you smokes”

“Mmmh Yes”,

 “You want one?”, he said

So here is the thing: I do not smoke , don't ask me what I was thinking, saying yes because clearly I was not thinking at all , there was no brain in my head that morning. 

In an attempt to be cute and effortless I run my hands in hair. But with  4c hair, it's physically impossible to run fingers in 4c hair even right after detangling for 2 hours. so i just put one strand behind my ear that doesn't work either so I just scratch my head. And took the cigarette . 

Broo why did i say yes. I have never smoked a day in my life. Never.EVER

PART 2/C

It would seem like my nose was bleeding because of his beauty. But I think it's a good time to tell you, I have chronic nose bleeds. So no, his beauty didn't cause my nose bleed. Or did it ?. I guess I will never know. All I know is, He definitely is/was a sight for sore eyes. Even with how much I hate him now I can't deny that he is a beautiful person. 

But I think it was more of a combination of stressful first day more than anything 

Anyways back to it  

“Lean your head back", said Zoe 

“No it's forward” ,Aria said while grabbing paper towels.  He took my head, leaned it forward. I almost fainted from him touching my head. 

I looked over at Zoe freaking out, not sure how to help.    

“It's ok they usually stop right away. It's fine.”, I reassured her 

I would be lying if I said. I was not completely smitten by him taking care of me. I already thought of where our wedding venue and burial area would be.  My whole being decided .Yes, he is the one we have been waiting on. 

“When is your training done?'' he asked me, trying to distract me from my current situation.

“In two weeks” I replied, 

“I am away in two weeks. If it's ok with whoever is training you. You should stop by my office before you head out for a chit chat. Just get to know each other.”

I just nodded 

I got go i am already 45 minute late for my shoot. 

“When are you ever on time” Zoe said

He rolled his eyes, grabbed his belongings and left.

part 2/B

couple mins later

He walked in the kitchen. When I had just took a big bite of my sandwich. I almost choked on my food

. My whole body straightened up . Like my grandmother had just told me to sit up straight and stop slouching . That’s how good looking he was. Hold on, let me quickly grab some water before I start describing what he looked like

It was lust at first time. No scratch that at the time I truly believe it was love at first sight. He was wearing well fitted black jeans , a pink rayon shirt with white polka dots. Holding a black sherpa denim jacket. he had wavy dark brown almost black hair that was in that awkward stage where its long but just not long enough for a ponytail his dark brown sexual eyes. Everytime he smiled they squinted sensually. He had a nose ring,* side note people. Any man with a noise ring is trouble. run away and run fast , he cant be trusted. His lips omg his lips he had these full pink purple lips. And his stubble was beautiful looked like it would be soft he was just tall enough later he did tell me he was 6 foot and a little on the skinny side. Not what I like I like man built like tom hardy. but i thought we can fix that a few protein shakes a month of lifting and we are in business. Here i was already changing a man I just met.i said I can fix him.

Back to the story

“Oh Aria speaking of the devil” Zoe said to him

I looked at her, to be like ‘”bro why would you say that now he knows we were talking about him” . She didn’t care she just grinned in bliss. This is a good point to tell you Zoe is a shit head she says what she wants to say when she wants to say it. She has no filter. I love and hate it. 

Anyways.

“He smiled you were talking about me”, he asked Zoe while looking at me. i tried to look away by i was mesmerized by his gaze on me 

“Yeah talking about how handsome you are. How it’s going to be hard to concrete. How is Liv going to work ,being in the present of one of God’s creation. The second coming himself.” Zoe teased him 

‘He rolled his eyes. You are such  a contemptible person Zoe , this is exactly why i got rid of you after working with you for 1 month, I had had enough of you” he teased her back

“Sure buddy that’s what happened” she said

“You must be Olivia (thats me i dont think i am introduced myself  my name is olivia or liv or oli  or O depends who you are ) he said.

He was holding a coffee in one hand and his jacket in one hand so his hand was already in a fist. He extended his fist to me. 

But someone please tell me me why I shook his fucking wrist why ,WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I wanted to die. As soon as I shook his wrist i realized he wanted me to bump his fist instead of shaking his wrist.

I said “oh oops that’s embarrassing i just realized you wanted me to fist bump not shake your wrist.”

Zoe burst into laughter

we both glared at zoe and Aria looked back at me, smiled and said that was weird but it’s alright.

I looked at him heart beating fast , thinking “wow i never believed in love at first sight until today.”

He pointed to my face. 

“what?” i asked 

You are dripping he said 

i touched my nose 

Ooh shit he said. Zoe made a disgusted face and grabbed paper towels . It would seem like my nose was bleeding cause my brain was over whelmed by his beauty, 

[aspiringrighter]

What is the stupidest think you have ever done for a man.

i will go first . Let me tell you. Let me tell you cause I got plenty.

It’s about a time I fell head over heels over someone , I had no business falling for. In this story you are going to be real mad at me and on my behalf. With that said I just want y’all to remove that judgmental hat. Because we have all been there.everyone is allowed to be a fool for some dumb ass once in their life. Looking back I am actually shocked at all the brainless decisions I made. And just how I let someone treat me this way . Like bro what were you thinking. Why were the lights on and you weren’t home. Did you have worm for brains? Reading this you will laugh and most importantly you will be angry on my behalf and and also want to punch me. . So get strapped in it’s going to be very fucking bumpy ride. You might even throw your phone away

. That’s how annoyed you will be. Also I would like to lie and say I am writing this from a point of enlightenment and forgiveness but I am really not. I am angry and wish he was dead . Alexa play fire burn by nicki Minaj then play Fire Bomb by Rihanna after. ok you get it. That's a bit much,i do wish the worst on him. maybe I would like him to be hit by a bus. Not enough to die or major injuries but enough to do damage and have him regret his life choices and have him apologize to anyone who he has ever done wrong. Someone said holding grudges causes cancer . So I am hoping writing this all down will be

Catha…. Cathauthic. Hold let me google it quickly. cathartic! and help me move on.

anywho

here goes nothing
