I do a quick glam in my car before getting out and heading into Nia's home studio which she just had installed in her basement.
I spot Elle Lex and Kandice Kardashian there. We ended up doing a random collaboration which we are filming today and it will preview on my youtube channel.
We take a few group selfies before discussing the song that we are recording. It's a cover of Symphony by Zara and honestly it's such a dope song.
Obviously with most of us being signed we had to be speak with our management about this beforehand especially since a few of us have albums on the way. Due to our contracts we can't just collaborate or post covers with other stars unless it's been discussed with our label. Mine was giving me a headache since I haven't released any music in sometime but my contract is due to finish this year so I simply let them know that I will be progressing to another label- they gave in.
Nia and I set up our camera's so it can be angled right. We do a few takes of just us talking so we could see if we like how we looked on camera. 40 minutes later, we were set.
I sit at the piano as we sing the song, luckily I learned the keys overnight at my moms place or else we would have to do a separate recording and have that as the playback.

"Girl, you was feeling that." Nia says as she sips on water. "Damn, chile who be hurting you?"
"Life is just complicated." I reply with a sigh. "I honestly can't wait to release this album and go on tour. I feel like I'm wasting my time, I'm so busy but I still have too much time on my hands."
"Lucky for you, my album comes out next year." Elle groans, "Do you know what it's like to have to push back your album into the next year because everyone is releasing theirs around the same time? I've literally had to sit around doing nothing but now that I'm here, I'm working my ass off. I even have days where I record two music videos in one day."
"We are so overworked." Nia agrees.
"I'm so used to being busy, that I don't even know what to do." I mutter while laying down on her sofa.
"Be careful not to drop your wine." Nia says while pointing at my glass, "That carpet cost me like sixty bucks but it's the only one left of its kind."
"Sixty bucks?" Kandice looks at her with wide eyes. "Get me a deal like that, the one that I have in my guest lounge cost forty five thousand dollars."
Elle looks back and forth between us with her mouth open as we begin to compare the prices of our furniture.
Nia then gives me a look, "Now, tell me what's really wrong."
"Sean Combs is my dad. Like my biological dad." I say with a sigh and Nia gives me a look.
"You've always known him as your dad so what changed?"
"I always knew him as the amazing guy who took over when my dad bounced but in reality it was him all along. I was so angry at my dad for leaving but so blessed to have Diddy in my life. For fucks sakes I call him Diddy."
"It's not as if the media even know." Kandice shrugs. "Everyone views him as your dad anyways."
"I'm just embarrassed, heck a few weeks ago my mom was talking about my dad was Spanish. It's too much for me and Michael is still acting weird with me."
"Chile, I'll invite him over if you like but don't fuck in my house." Nia says as she walks out with her phone.
"Yes it was wrong but be grateful," I look at Elle who looks troubled. "Diddy raised you, he has always been there for you from infancy up into your adult years. He never left your side, it's better that he is your dad because you don't have to worry about trying to bond with a new guy. My family left me behind, I didn't have that chance to bond with anyone knew and it's better that way because I was fucked up. I'm just grateful for who I have in my life. Don't be angry for too long cause things can change."
An hour later and Michael is in Nia's home studio. The other girls give us space by heading out to Nia's editing room.
"Hey," I mutter as he takes a seat opposite me.
"You look good Luxe, you're glowing." He smiles at me sadly.
"It's one of the Glam-Dia highlighters."
"Look." His face drops.
"I hurt you and I keep on hurting you." I give him a blank look as he struggles to get his words together.
"But why?"
"I don't know. Luxe, you are honestly one of the most beautiful women that I have met and you were titled the sexiest woman alive. The thing about you is that you are beautiful inside and out, you're able to captivate a whole room within seconds. A lot of people want to be with you but after much persuasion you chose me, I guess I don't know why." He sadly shrugs, "I guess I was insecure in our relationship because I am falling in love with you."
"Oh Mike." I cup my face while looking into his eyes which are staring intently into mine.
"I'm sorry for being a jerk and continuously breaking your heart." He mumbles as he moves closer to me. I get up and wrap my arms around him before quickly putting him into a headlock. "The fuck?"
"What did my dad tell you?" I question.
"Goddamn, you're strong." I tighten the grip.
"What did Diddy tell you in the car?" I ask in a deadly tone.
"Damn Luxe, what has gotten into you?" I squeeze my arms and he lifts his arms in surrender. "Alright, alright. He told me to man up and sort out my issues before being with you."
"Why are you lying?" I hiss.
"Fuck Luxe, I may have a kid on the way. The girl I was previously with is claiming to be pregnant with my child and Diddy found out. That's why I'm being an ass because I may lose you and I don't want to be hurt but it hurts me knowing that I'm hurting you." I release him and he rubs his neck. "I want a paternity test but it's difficult to get at this stage cause it could cause a miscarriage."
I clench my jaw at him before cursing him out, "Patética excusa de un hombre. Culo de perra."
