Los Angels Ca 📍Londyn Cora Davis
(boring chapter ahead)"Stay still, Jamila, I'm almost done!" I exclaim, trying to hold back my frustration as she fidgets in her seat.
"I'm trying, I'm trying!" she replies, her voice laced with annoyance. "Just hurry up, you still need to finish your own makeup!"
I take a deep breath and focus on setting her face with setting spray. "Okay, okay, all done! You look amazing, by the way."
Jamila jumps up, admiring her reflection. "Thanks, now go finish your makeup so we can go already!"
I roll my eyes. "Okay, I'm going. But first, can you call Sy i need to ask him about Descanso Gardens.
As I'm blending in my setting powder, Jamila's phone comes to life with Symere's smooth voice. "Yoo, you look beautiful, my love!"
Jamila turns into a giggling mess, "Thank you, babe!"
But then she remembers why she called him in the first place. "Londyn needs to ask you something, though."
Symere's tone turns concerned, "Wsup? You good?"
I jump in, "Yeah, I'm fine, I just need to know if you're meeting us at Descanso Gardens?"
Symere responds, "Oh, for the picture? Yeah, yeah, let me know when you get there so me and Mari can pull up."
I press for more info, "You're with Kamari?"
Symere confirms, "Yeah."
Kamari jumps into the conversation, "Hey Londyn, what's up?"
"Hey Kamari, did you want me to take your pictures too?"I ask.
Symere chimes in, "She takes good ass pictures, by the way."
Kamari responds humbly, "That'd be nice, yeah, if you have time."
"Alright guys, y'all should hit the road now to avoid traffic. We'll leave after I finish setting my face," I tell the boys.
"Bet, I'll call you when I get there," Symere says.
I hand Jamila her phone back and head to the bathroom to finish getting ready. "We finna leave?" Jamila asks from the other room.
"Yeah, I'm just setting my face," I reply, fanning my face dry. "Don't forget to grab some clothes!"
"So, that means you're coming?" Jamila asks, grabbing some clothes to change into.
"I didn't say that, and you know it! But grab me a change of clothes too," I say, rolling my eyes.
"Okay, hehehe!" I hear Jamila's infectious laughter echoing through the room.
