5pm

West Palm Beach, FL

Marcel, the models, and I just landed in Palm Beach. It felt so weird being back here but it didn't at the same time. I was happy to be back and see everyone.

Once we left the airport after getting our bags we all pulled up to the hotel. It was about 6 of us, including Marcel and I.

I didn't really feel like doing too much I just wanted to relax for the rest of the day until the photoshoot tomorrow.

Everyone knew I was back down here and Mia will be bringing my products they made for me tomorrow to the shoot. I had them helping me make the products so that I can start racking up for opening. Jashawn had a bunch of outfits ready also that he was being tomorrow that his crew helped him with.

I managed to find a place to buy for the store in Vegas. Marcel has some guys working on it for me.

So far, my photo from the shoot I did was the only face on this business for the beauty section.

This was the photo I chose.

I was so excited to see all of this come together for opening next year.

8pm

Marcel ordered room service for us for dinner since I took a nap once we got here and had been sleeping the whole time. I was now six months pregnant and I was tired.

Marcel and I found out a couple of days ago at my ultrasound appointment that we were having a baby girl and I was so excited. We decided not to do a gender reveal because we were too excited.

Once the food got here we ate and just relaxed.

About an hour of relaxing, Marcel ran me a bath.

I got in after everything was set up and he got in behind me and massaged my belly as I rested my head back on his chest.

"I love you." I said to him.

"I love you too." He responded and we shared a kiss.

We stayed like that a little while before getting out and he massaged my whole body and we eventually fell asleep for the rest of the night. I had to be up early tomorrow for the shoot at 10am in Miami.

Friday, August 15th

10am

Miami, FL

I was at the studio with the models while they were drinking water and snacking. Jashawn had just showed up.

"Heyyy!" I walked as fast as I could to him to hug him.

"Hey mama!" He said referring to the fact that I was about to have a baby and he hugged me.

It was just going to be Jashawn and I today. Marcel was out with Q and Bria and the girls were only dropping the makeup off since we already had hair and makeup artists here.

"How are you?" I asked him.

"I'm good. How are you? Where Marcel?" He asked.

"I'm good and he's out with Q today." I said and he nodded.

"Good good." He said.

I then introduced him to the models and I met some of the models that he chose too. So it was about 8 models in total, I had 4 and Jashawn had 4. It was 4 girls and four boys. We each had two boys and two girls.

Shortly after introduction, Mia showed up.

We greeted each other with excitement. All the girls were going to catch up later tonight at Mina's house.

After she dropped off the makeup, I handed everything to the makeup artists.

Jashawn and I informed the models and everyone what the next move was and everyone got started on getting ready. The girls were in makeup and the guys were getting a little groomed beforehand.

Jashawn was showing me the pieces he brought with him today. It was hats, jewelry, shirts, jackets, etc.

He didn't fully take them out of the clothing bags he didn't want to do so until the models were ready which I understood.

"Take it easy on yourself today Jada. With baby girl and all." He said. Everyone knew I was having a girl.

"I'll be good Jay. I can't rest until the business open up and even THEN.. still can't rest. My baby just gon have to get use to her mama moving out a lot." I said laughing and Jashawn laughed also.

About an hour and some time later, some of the models were ready so Jashawn got them ready with his clothes, jewelry, and hats and the shoot finally started.

I looked as the models took the pictures and I looked at each result in the camera and guided them and Jashawn did too. It felt so surreal this was happening but I was so happy it was.

~~~~~~~~~

5pm

We were done with the shoot finally and I was on my way back to the hotel. I was drained but the shoot was great. The models all went out to hang out but I went back to the hotel I was too tired. Jashawn decided to go home too.

As soon as I pulled into the hotel lot I remembered I had to meet the girls at Mina's house in an hour.

I threw my head onto the wheel as the loud horn went off.

"Ma'am are you ok?" The valet guy came up to my drivers window asking I looked up and smiled.

"Yeah just a long day." I said and he chuckled.

"I understand. I can't take your car for you." He said.

"Thank you, I'll be back down in an hour or two to get it I have to go out again." I said sounded so exhausted.

"I don't mean to intrude on your business but if you're really exhausted you should get some rest. Especially with a small human in there." He said pointed to my belly and I smiled.

"Maybe you're right. I'll think about it." I said and he nodded.

I rubbed my stomach and got everything I needed out of the car and handed him the keys to park it.

Marcel and I rented cars for the time being.

I went inside the hotel and made my way up to our hotel room and went inside.

I propped myself onto the couch and sighed loudly.

Your mama is tired babygirl. I said while rubbing my stomach.

Marcel was still out with Q so I took this as an opportunity to have some me time.

I thought for a second and decided to text the girl I have to take a rain check until tomorrow night. I was honestly drained.

Jashawn and I had business meetings tomorrow and I had to ready for those. Tomorrow was also a busy day but I hoped it wasn't as draining as today.

We had one meeting at 11am, another at 2pm, and then another at 3:30pm, with three different advertising companies to get our business out there. Then I had my own separate meeting at 5pm to meet with a company to work with them to help make my products.

Honestly the business meetings were only going to get more hectic from here.

I let out a deep breath, closing my eyes trying not to stress too much.

Then my stomach started hurting like crazy, I was hungry.

Oh crap mommy didn't feed you nor herself since 12 something. I'm sorry honey. I said talking to my baby.

I ordered room service, I was too tired to leave my room.

Once the room service came, I ate. I texted Marcel to see if he was ok and he texted back that he was.

I ended up not even eating all the food that I ordered to I just saved some to eat later.

I took a nap.

~~~~~~~~~

9pm

I woke up and Marcel still wasn't here.

I checked my phone to see if he texted and he did. He let me know he'll be back late tonight.

I didn't respond but that's because there was no reason to. I knew he was ok that's all.

I ate some more and then I realized I didn't shower when I came back.

Damn I must've been real tired. I thought to myself.

I got in the shower and let the warm water run against my body.

After a while my feet started to hurt from standing so I got out and dried off then I moisturized and put on my pjs and set my alarm for tomorrow.

I don't even know when I fell back asleep but I did.
