“Pretty good, pretty good,” Indigo said. “Just had this big shoot with Out come… well, come out, so that was pretty cool.” They took a sip of their coffee. “What about you, what’ve you been up to?”

“Nice! Sounds great, I’ll have to check it out.” She tried to remember when friends of hers who were models were going to be in things because she didn’t naturally keep up wth any of the fashion industry. “Well I was cast as storm to join the Black Panther tv series, so this is my first main-ish role.”She smiled. “Filming starts next week.”

“Oooh, there’s that bowling alley that has a really good bar attached to it, you know the one I’m talking about?” Ruby asked. “It’s not the cheapest, but whatever.”

“Now that sounds perfect.” She chimed. “ Hmmm.” She tapped her finger against her cheek. “I think we can afford to splurge a bit this month.I’ve got enough for rent still.” she added in. “Plus we are starting to film for that black Panther series, so  that’s a new check finally coming in.”

indoors or outdoors… now, on one hand, jay practically lived indoors; now, on the other… jay practically lived indoors. “ it’s been a while since i’ve actually been outside for more than, like, two minutes, ” she said, assuming it implied her answer. yes, perhaps it’d be nice to go out in the company of someone else for the first time in a very, very long time.

“Then maybe we start easy and just hit up a park or something? Take in the fresh air.” She chimed. She loved just going and seeing what was going on at the local parks. “who knows we might see something interesting.” she giggled.

“Nice, I can’t wait. Hopefully I don’t fall on my ass,” she joked. Aaliyah had always enjoyed spending time with Nala and came to view her as more of a sister than a cousin. “Do you know any good parks or are we just skating the streets of LA?”

Nala just busted out laughing, “Same here, I feel like it’s been a while. I’ve been so wrapped up in filming on set you know? It’s been tough remembering to just breathe.” She explained. "I know a good park. As much as I’d love to just skate around, I’m not in the best practice and I don’t need that to be my next headline.” She giggled.

“Wait, PSL? What is that?” Amelia asked, confused and unsure about whether or not she was supposed to take offense, since she didn’t know what the acronym meant. “I dunno, I just really love to travel, and I’ve only been to London once before.”

“It’s supposed to mean pumpkin spice latte. Since so many people like the drink I guess they made an acronym for it. I saw it on a bunch of memes.” She shrugged. “I’ve never been, but it’s definitely on the bucket list.”She chimed.

“D’you ever read something about yourself that’s so untrue you wonder how they managed to come up with that shit- but at the same time, you kinda wish it were true? Like, my friend just sent me a link to this half-assed article that said I’m ‘trying to hook up’ with Cardi B, when all I did was say that I bump Bodak Yellow when I’m driving during an interview last week, which I mean, who doesn’t?”

“Yup I gotta admit thoes articles always make me giggle. Then again when I’m in them with someone else they are trying to guess who I am.  And if they know then it’s always a “secret relationship” thing.” She rolled her eyes playfully. “Espeially since I’ve got so many guys for friends.”

“Tickles my fancy?” Like a child he giggled at the phrase. “Honestly, the beach is a safer career move for me. If I get too bruised up in paintball that’d be rough on the editing guys.” Slipping the phone into his pocket and putting social media away for now, Xander got to his feet. “Let’s do it. You need a hat or anything to hide from paps? I personally love that shit, but I know a lot of other people don’t.”

Nala couldn’t help the bubble of laughter that escaped her lips, “Don’t judge.” She chimed, “That’s true, let’s stick to the beach.” She hummed. “Nah if anything more publicity can only help right? Especially if it’s just being seen going swiming.” She shrugged. Sure personally she’d like a little less cameras in her face, but she knew it was a nesessity.

“you shouldn’t,” the boy groaned. “i can’t wait until my agent gets me a decent contract with another label, and i’m out.” he shook his head. “you’re a savior, honestly, you may have just cured my writer’s block,” he spoke quickly. “yeah, i think i’ve got the tune down,” he answerd, gesturing to the paper, “it’s just the lyrics that were givin’ me trouble.” 

“I don’t blame you.” She added in. Sure no one looks out for you in the begining like your parents, but there comes a point when it’s just too much. “Well good! Plus I know you’d do the same for me.” she shrugged with a simple smile vurle onto her lips. “Great that’s half the battle.” She hummed. “ So what are you thinkig? Lost love, lost friend, lost self?” She rattled off some ideas.

“precious, yeah. it’s literally me sealing a deal for a fuckin’ job this winter, nala. don’t be so ignorant.” she’s mainly kidding. “what could we possibly do, then? let’s go live on instagram.” she tapped away at her phone, finishing a few sentences in the e-mail before making sure it was saved as a draft and closing her e-mail app. “work sucks, dude. i thought it was gonna be a cake walk after i got famous but it turns out it’s all just.. work.”

“Learn to take a jooooke.” playfully rolled her eyes. “Dancing with the stars is probably what’s trending tonight. Hey what do you think it takes to be invited on that show?” She asked curiously. It was somthing to consider for a nice fame boost. “Well if you don’t want your fame to just be for 15 minuets you have to.” She sighed leaning back. “Hmm what to do? We can go live on instagram? That’s pretty popular now.” She srugged.

aspen felt light on her feet twirling & humming to herself. she had been working ALL day in the studio the night before and was ready for the next couple of hours off. she had dark sunglasses decorating the bridge of her nose & a baseball cap with the yorker’s symbol. her little handbook f e l l from her grasp without the blonde noticing. as she was about to enter the coffee shop, she noticed that she wasn’t holding it anymore. aspen looked around trying to find it.

Nala was finally done with filming for the day. Days, when they did night filming, seemed to feel even longer than normal. She knew she should probably go straight home and hit the hay, but she was craving something sweet and headed to the nearby coffee shop. O her way in she noticed a girl drop her handbook, so naturally, she went to pick it up and give it to her, “ Hey you looking for this?” She asked politely.

“Well, curiosity killed that cat. “ He chimed taking the first bite of the pizza. Honestly, he was still a bit nervous about sharing his music with the world. After all up until a few years ago, this wasn’t his strong suit. he still feels so much of his success has been luck, and he’s just waiting for it to run out.

“But satisfaction brought it back, which means I’ll die if you don’t!” She giggled taking a bite of her own pizza. To be honest she wouldn’t mind if he didn’t show her since she knew some people were self-conscious about their work especially if it isn’t done.

Elodie shook her head while letting out a small, “No” before shrugging her shoulders. “There’s never a wrong person to complain to, as you so delicately worded it.” Giving the girl her biggest and best fake smile, she gave another shrug. “Maybe they wouldn’t but why would I want to take the chance of swaying the opinion of me that they have?”

“Fine.” She replied giving up on this for the most part. She had to remember to be more polite because she wanted to say of course there is, but that’d be just another disagreeent with no winner, and if this girl was going to lay on the cheese this thick, than she’d rather not deal with it. “Uh-huh. I suppose you know your fans better than I would.” She replied simply. She idn’t forsee people really getting that hurt over an unanswerd bithday wish, but if it meant that much to her who was she to stop her?

While her words said one thing, he felt her body and actions confessed another. However he was a gentleman and was mostly just joking to begin with, so when she laughed, he did too and backed up playfully rolling his eyes, “Yah, yah, yah.” He waited for her to come back with the pizza, “Let’s dig in then.” He smiled.

She nodded grabbing a slice, “ But I’m serious about that song. I really wanna know what you’re working on. I’m dying of curiosity.” She chimed. She loved his voice and his music so far.

“Pff.” He rolled his eyes, “ If you wanna play it like that?” He grinned mischievously leaning in closer to her, “Then tell me what’s the perk for being your almost fake boyfriend?” He smirked, “ Hm?” Now, this was probably pushing some boundaries, but in his defense, she started it. 

Nala’s scarlet cheeks betrayed her. Showing that she was definitely not expecting his advance. A part of her had a hard time believing it was real, or could ever be real. She didn’t know if it was just her way of protecting herself from getting hurt again or insecurity. Either way she did what she always does and laughs it off. “ Pff you know my presence is a perk enough.” She tapped his nose as the doorbell rang. Saved by the bell it seems. She quickly got up to go grab the pizza and bring it back to them.

“Because it’s been four days…” Elodie said with a roll of her eyes as if it was common knowledge that she couldn’t do the suggested. “I would like to reply to all of them. I typically do, even if it’s something generic besides one line that has to do with the letter they sent.”

Her response rubbed Nala the wrong way, but she just folded her arms, “Geez guess I’m the wrong person to complain to then.” She didn’t see what the big deal was. Just say she got them late. Nala hardly replies to all the facebook happy birthdays she gets and those aren’t just fans but friends and family as well. “Well, I’m sure they won’t mind it being a minuet since you’re hand replying to them all considering that’s not something most people do.”

Jason laughed as they played. He couldn’t deny she was the better video game player, but knowing he’d win on a real court was enough for him. It wasn’t a shock when she beat him. “I’d say best two outta three if I didn’t know where that’d lead.” He chuckled. He knew it’d get late and they’d spend all night going back and forth, and he’d get no work done.

Nala giggled “ You just don’t wanna take another L” She smiled turning the game off because even she knew he was right. “Hmm well then let me hear one of your songs.” She hummed softly in a sing-song tone. “Being practically your fake girlfriend should come with some perks.” She shot him a playful wink.

“Woah woah woah, I wouldn’t say smashed, you barely beat me through a glitch in the game. You know damn well that 3 point shot shouldn’t have gone in.” The banter between them was common especially when it came to anything athletic. “As for real life you’ve beaten me once out of how many games I’ve beat you in? “Hardly worth trippin over.” He smirked.

“Guess we’ll see about that.” She smirked. Even though this had started out as something just to make producers and fans happy, she’d started really enjoying her time with Jason. She knew better than to ever really voice it though. In this buisness, it wasn’t safe to catch feelings for things that are just for the public.
