My alarm blared loudly beside me, and I reached over to turn it off. I rubbed my eyes as my body got me out the bed stretching. Danni turned over in bed, it was 4:30 in the morning an I needed to be at the studio by 6:15 to let everyone in to set up for the first shoot at 8. I hopped up and started getting ready. I could hardly contain myself I was so geared up, I hurried. I wanted to make sure everything was ready and in place for today. I got dressed within the hour and hit the door by 5:30 sharp. I got to the studio by 6 and went to work straight away. Clearing spaces, dusting, vacuuming, wiping down everything and getting the food station ready. I had the place cleaned but no one cleans it like me. I heard my phone ring and rushed over to it scared I was keeping folks waiting. Danni had texted me to have a wonderful day and that everything was going to be great because I was a part of it. I could do nothing but smile. She's every kind of amazing. I looked at the time seeing that I was now 6:15 I got myself prepared for everyone's arrival. I was freshening up in my office when I looked out and saw someone parking, I finished spraying myself down and headed towards the door. I saw that Eva, Chase and Alia had all pulled up as the makeup and hair team pulled up. Eva was offering to help as Alia walked towards me. Wow... She is just so stunning. I mean mesmerizing ... and you could tell she absolutely knew.
"Good morning, Alia. You look amazing. Are you ready" she smiled at me, and I was in a trance like a cartoon following a scent. Hahaaa... I was so in awe I didn't even hear her... "I'm so sorry... you mesmerized me with your smile for a second there" we burst out laughing "haha thank you Victoria… I said good morning you look beyond gorgeous and where should I go" I thanked her back and walked her to her dressing room. "I'll be right back I'm gonna bring back hair and makeup right quick" I walked off to do just that when Eva was bringing them around the corner. "And this is where you'll be folks" Eva said as she smiled and winked at me walking pass. I eased out the way and asked if Alia needed anything. She said water, so I asked chase if she could bring it back while I helped with the caterer. She nodded and I continued on making sure everything was rolling smoothly.
"Hey Victoria... can we talk for a second" Eva had peaked her head into the break room. I excused myself from the catering team and gestured for us to go to my office. "Everything okay Eva..." I questioned. "Oh yes I just wanted to check in with you make sure you're okay" I paused then smiled "yes I'm fine… thank you for checking on me that's very nice of you" I walked past her heading back towards Alia's dressing room. "Hey everything okay in here everyone" I peaked in to ask. "Wow Alia this is excellent... you look magnificent" she smiled "thank you... no I'm great actually! Everyone here is amazing" I agreed and went back to the break room. "Everyone good in here as well" everyone looked up and said yes. I checked in with Chase before heading back to my office to finally have a second to sit and process to myself. I took in a good two breaths as I heard my name being called. I lifted my head readying myself to stand. "Yes, what's up" I made my way around my desk.
"Hey... yes sorry V. Alia is asking for your opinion on her first look" Chase said as she opened the door wider for us to exit my office. "Okay thank you. No worries" I headed straight to Alia's dressing room and saw immediately what she was questioning. I went into boss mode quick "Can we take in the waist a bit…add this belt… switch the heels... adjust the lip to a closer to her complexion nude pink please. " I left as fast as I came in. As I made it to the door Alia, and I made eye contact. She mouthed "thank you" and I winked at her then prepared myself to greet the new editor of Game Magazine. We welcomed her and as we went over the shoot direction again, I gave her a tour ending her at the break room so she could have a moment before we began the shoot.
We socialized for a moment when Eva let me know everything was ready. I escorted Mrs. Davis to the shoot area and showed her where she could sit. I made my way to the entrance to great Ms. Angel from Covergirl so we could go over the looks. She had 4 racks of clothes with her and 2 stylists. I smiled big when I saw a dress, I knew Alia would look amazing in it. I barely had a chance to relax when Chase let me know the Reps and Stylist from YSL was also here and in the break room.
We were all mesmerized by Alia and Eva during the shoot. Talk about pure flow and chemistry. They just shot well together. They complimented each other so much that at one-point YSL asked if Eva could get in the shot with Alia. "Uhhh … sure" she smiled and sauntered over to Alia smiling big. I cringed a bit when she wrapped her arms around Alia's waist. I cleared my throat and excused myself for the moment. I walked over to the edge of my desk and sat for a second. I let out a deep sign just thinking hard about what I was doing with myself for real. I looked up and saw Danni standing in my doorway "baby…" I questioned blinking my eyes to focus. "In the flesh beautiful... are you doing okay" she came over, picked me up and sat us on the chaise lounge in the corner of my office. "Yes, I think I'm okay … just finally got a chance to sit" I wrapped my arms around her neck and got comfy in her lap. "Baby have you eaten anything" Danni asked as she kissed my forehead and lifted my chin to look her in the eyes. "To be completely honest… I can't remember babe. It's plenary of food in here though I'll go grab something right qu-"Danni placed her finger over my lips "sit right here beautiful. I got you" she held me and stood up. Danni laid on the chaise and walked out of my office.
I didn't even realize I had dozed off till I smelled the food "mmm…" I sat up "thank you baby" I rested against the arm of the chair an dug in. Chase paged me letting me know YSL was wrapping up the shoot. "I'm on my way… baby wait here for me" Danni nodded "of course babygirl do your thing" she winked at me, and I headed towards the front.
"Thank you so much Victoria and congrats on the new model you have definitely found a star for sure" I smiled, and we shook hands. "Thank you, Ms. Davis. I could not agree with you more" we did a couple air kisses and waved our goodbyes. I walked back into my office to see Danni stretched across my chaise. She patted her lap for me to come sit with her. "Uhhhh... I'm so tired babe" I yawned as I snuggled up with her for a moment. "I figured you would be beautiful so I wanted to make sure I was here for you as soon as I could be. My car is home and the driver dropped me off so I can drive us home baby…you just relax" she kissed my forehead, pick me up an carried me over to my purse.
"You got everything you need baby" Danni asked as she stood in the doorway of my office. "Yes sexy… let's go home" I kissed her cheek, and she held me closer to her. I took a moment to soak in and be grateful. Wow! What a day… I thought to myself, smiling as Danni placed me in my car. She ran around to the drivers' side "ready to go home beautiful" I looked over into her eyes "yes please" we smiled at each other and kissed.
"Good … let's go" Danni said as she drove off.
