!HOLA¡ Argentina

So Joey and I are getting ready for our photoshoot for; !HOLA¡ Argentina.

I'm not excited one bit. I think I'm just not a people person.

But I'm happy that I look like an athlete and not a wannabe Barbie doll.

Yes, Afi got Cy and Liyah out here since this is my first magazine.

Aaliyah just lightly powered our faces so we don't look oily on camera. And with my hair, it's just gelled back into a bun. It's a natural look, I love it.

Then Joey and I were placed in a white box. It is literally a giant white box. Music is also playing.

The photographer gives us specific directions and they are pretty simple to follow. "Just have fun with it."

Joey and I have the matching WWR tattoo on our hands so my favourite pose is standing back to back with our fists pointing at the camera. Luckily Joey got his on his right hand and I had mine on my left. This pose also exposes the whole phrase which is tatted down my left leg.

We got pictures of us doing all types of things. We did some facing each other and glaring. We did our starting positions. I goofed around a bit and when Joey wasn't paying attention I jumped him. Then we had some more basic poses of us doing something like laughing.

"Alright I ran out of memory so just take a short break and I'll be back." The photographer and the director walk away. Soon does everyone else and Joey and I are alone in the white box with music playing in the back.

"Princess, how are you hating this experience?" Joey says sarcastically.

This morning I was being complicated. I didn't want to move or get up. I cursed this damn photoshoot.

"Okay, I'll admit I'm having fun," I tell him.

"Great after this, you just need to get through an article." Joey walks around the box on the beat with the music in the background.

I'm pretty sure the song that's playing is called WOW.

"Joey you are being very distracting," I roll my eyes at him.

"Then dance with me." He says.

"This isn't the time for dancing."

"I'll prove to you that I can make you dance give me like twenty seconds," he grins.

I just stand there and Joey breaks into dance.

His movement is fluid yet sharp. His dancing is tempting.

He glides around and stands right in front of me. He's so close, I'm compelled to follow his moves.

I try and force myself not to follow. But my heart tells me to have fun.

I feel the beat and let go as we move around the box. Joey lifts me off my feet our faces end up an inch away from each other. He sets me back to the ground without breaking eye contact.

"We should stop ending dances like this," I whisper.

Joey smiles, "I'm not complaining princess." He presses his lips to mine.

I hear footsteps and I back away from Joey quickly.

"Are you two ready to continue?" The director asks.

"Yep."

"We are ready to go!"

We are horrible at not acting suspiciously.

After two hours of wardrobe swapping and makeup changes, Joey and I sit down with a reporter. Joey and I say our answers in English but he later translates them in Spanish so it's easier when they write their article.

"Hello, Miss Jackson and Mister Easterbrook. My name is Billy Lopez, I hope you're comfortable because this is going to be interesting. First things first how did you two meet."

I answer this question, "I had just moved out with my ex-boyfriend and Joey had a room in his apartment so I flagged him down until he agreed to keep me."

"And Joey how did you feel when you met Isabella?"

I cut in, "please call me Izzy."

Billy nods and Joey replies, "I thought she was a crazy girl who was probably kicked out by her parents. I rejected the chance for her to stay with me and I went on a jog. She followed me. I thought she was crazy so I ran, I'm a pretty fast runner so as she kept my pace I was shocked. I even jumped over a fence and she did the same with ease. That's when she told me that she was Isabella Jackson and we were chased by a group of kids."

Billy jots down this information even though he's recording the whole thing. "The thing the world wants to know is if you two are an item?"

I look at Joey and he looks at me. We both turn to Billy and say, "we are just really good friends."

This is well... awkward.

"So we have all seen Andre de Grasse has his full support on your upcoming race against Amarion Jacobs can you tell us about it?"

I take the lead on this, "this is a charity event, there is no feud. We will gain sponsors and money for our selected charities. I can't share much right now but I'm very excited about this project."

"I see you've recently got a tattoo, it matches De Grasse's tattoo. Would you guys tell us the meaning?"

"It's a secret, but if you figure it out there shouldn't be anything that holds you back." I beam.

"Izzy are the rumours about Amarion Jacobs being abusive the truth behind the reason you broke up with him?"

I knew this was coming.

"Abuse is a large accusation. Amarion was the perfect guy to me until the truth came out. He was caring and mindful. But now we really aren't on good terms. What he did broke me into pieces but I know a friend who is slowly putting them back together."

"Joey, you have recently been named one of the most attractive male athletes right now, the people want to know if you are single?"

"I am single, but I do have my eyes on somebody right now."

Billy looks like he's actually enjoying talking to us, "hmm, so can you tell us who the special one is?"

"I think I'd like to keep that a secret, I will say that she's definitely a she-wolf, an alpha woman, who is starting to find herself again."

"Mysterious, we love it."

"How about you Izzy? Any lucky guys out there? There are videos of you dancing with a guy at a club?"

I don't know why but I laugh, "yikes that guy at the club is not important or relevant to me at all. But a lucky guy? Yep sure is lucky. I definitely make life more interesting, and I believe he should appreciate it. I'm joking. I'm very much single Billy."

"And the last question where do you think your partnership will lead to?"

We both grin like idiots.

I start, "three."

"Two," Joey continues.

"One..."

Together now, "the world stage."

I totally wasn't watching work it while writing this chapter....A Ha Ha

Okay but we get serious after this chapter 😂

There are 14 chapters left and out of the 14 only 1 is a filler so these are important events people! 😊
