All my wedding plans had been finalized, until my cousin Karina called me earlier in the week, telling me about something that she saw on TikTok, and how she felt like I should do it for Steel on our wedding day. Prior to her telling me this, I didn’t have a clue about this spicy trend. Basically, I was doing a sexy photoshoot for my man, and on our wedding day, throughout the day, leading up to the wedding officially starting, my bridesmaids were going to hand pictures from this sexy photoshoot that I was doing to Steel. I knew that he was going to lose his shit when he saw these photos. So much so, that he might just try to find me when he received the first picture, thinking that he was going to get a quickie in with me.
I knew the kind of freaked out fiancé that I had, which is why when Karina came to me with the idea, I originally turned it down because Steel was going to think that we were supposed tofuck leading up to our wedding, and I refused to see him until it was time for me to walk down the aisle.
“Toni, you look damn good. My God! I’m no better than a fuckin man. Look at that ass!” Karina hyped me, standing just a few feet away from Mannie, taking this all in.
Mannie was laughing, as he was trying to get the money-making shot. I was used to my cousin, and some of the outlandish shit that would come out of her mouth, so I was able to continue lying in the position, keeping a seductive look on my face, keeping the pose that Mannie wanted me in.
I was lying down on my side, and the only thing that I was wearing was a little bit of gold shimmer that was added to my body…so in other words, I didn’t have any clothes on. Gold pumps were on my feet, and the heel on these bad boys were super high. I was three shots in of Reposado because I needed something to loosen me up because when the shoot started, I was hella uptight.
I didn’t mind being naked around my cousin because she’s seen me without clothes on numerous of occasions. It was the photographer that I was hesitant about being naked around. Even though he was a gay man, and didn’t want anything that I had to offer, it was the thought of being naked around another man that had me uptight in the beginning.
Mannie made me feel comfortable during this entire shoot, plus the shots that I’d taken calmed me down as well. Mannie was known for his artistry in the photography business. He could do any kind of shoot, but sexy nude shoots were his thing. When Karina showed me his social media earlier in the week, my mouth was to the floor when I saw some of his work. Crazy thing is, because of his popularity, he was booked for at least the next couple of months, but Karina was able to call him, tell him who I was, let him know about the big wedding that I had coming up, and how I wanted to do a shoot for my man, and becausepopularity was a big thing in Miami, plus money talks, Mannie was able to squeeze me in.
“These pictures are going to eat down, mami. Your skin, your eyes, the body, the gold shimmer on you… my God. Karina, when you all give Steel the pictures, please capture footage of that. I gotta see the look in his eyes when he sees this beautiful masterpiece,” Mannie hyped me, as he turned the camera around for me, showing me the shots that he’d just taken of me, and I was in awe of my own self.
I sat here, gushing over the photos, and Karina came over, so that she could do the same thing.
The shoot lasted about twenty minutes more, and Mannie walked away, leaving Karina and I in the studio area by ourselves, so that I could put my clothes on, and he could offer us a little bit of privacy.
Karina handed me the silk robe that I had sitting down, and I thanked her for it, quickly put it on, and I tied the strings around me.
“I can’t wait to see the final edits. Daddy not going to know what to do with himself,” I said, and Karina laughed at me, knowing that what I was saying was the truth.
“Exactly. Whatever you do, just don’t slip off with him. You got all the time in the world to fuck that man after the wedding,” she called out, already knowing how I got down with my man. I wouldn’t chance it on our wedding day though. Steel was going to just have to wait it out.
I eventually went back into the dressing room, so that I could slip into the clothes that I came here in. Maimi had cool with this evening, so after getting as much of the gold shimmer off my body, I slipped into a white oversized furry sweater, with a pair of light denim jeans, that looked as if they were painted onto my body. I wore Ugg slippers with fur inside, that had become one ofmy favorite winter shoes because they were easy to slip on, and they fit so comfortable.
I used my comb, so that I could fix up my hair a little bit, and I placed all my jewelry back on. Karina and I had plans to go to Los Olas after leaving here, so that we could sit at a rooftop, and have a few drinks.
Once everything checked out with me, I picked up the duffle bag that I came here with, along with my purse. Karina was outside the door waiting for me, and from there, we went over to Mannie, who had all the images pulled up on his desktop, just showing me the raw images, and my cheeks hurt from how big I was smiling.
Sexy as hell is what this photoshoot was. Too erotic. Something that I would never want my mama to get her hands on. The ass, pussy, and titties shots that Mannie snapped of me was something that would probably have my mama passing the hell out if she ever saw it.
Mannie was going to edit all the images for me, and he let me know to give him a couple of days, and he would have all of them sent to me. I’d paid him already for his service, but because the images came out so nice, I pulled out my phone, so that I could send him over a nice tip. He thanked me for it, and he walked Karina and I out of the studio, and we went over to her Mercedes that was parked outside the building.
I placed my duffle in the backseat, and then I got in the passenger seat, putting my seatbelt on, as Karina was pulling out.
“I’m not going to lie T, seeing all this wedding planning that you’re doing, and witnessing the days leading up to your wedding, it’s making me want to settle down, take one of these niggas serious, so that I can be planning my wedding as well,” Karina called out, and I laughed at what she said because I knew that she was lying. I loved my cousin to death, but in all the yearsthat I’ve been knowing her ass, she has never expressed wanting to marry.
“That gotta be the shots talking. I don’t believe your ass for a second,” I voiced, and she snickered at what I said to her because she knew that what I was saying was the truth.
“Don’t do me like that cousin. I’ve never been opposed to marriage. I just haven’t met a nigga yet that has made me feel like I want to get married,” she voiced.
“It’s because of the kind of men that you date. You and Rianna have the worst taste in men, and I’ll never understand why you choose to only fuck with thug niggas when your ass is so smart. You gotta switch up your caliber of niggas,” I preached to her just like I did any other time when the two of us would start speaking on niggas.
As women, I think a lot of us went through that phase where we were attracted to the bad guy. When I was younger, I was a little attracted to them, but once I became older, there was nothing that these hood niggas could do for me. I didn’t mind a man that had hood tendencies though. Like, my man had a lot of hood tendencies about him that I thoroughly loved. Coming in the house and sitting the gun inside his top drawer. The way he speaks, but Steel knows how to turn that shit off, especially when we were in different settings.
Karina didn’t want to hear anything that I was talking about, so with her free hand, she waved me off.
“Speaking of thug niggas, girl, I forgot to tell you that the other night after Brooklyn got out of dance practice, her and I went to get seafood boils. Remember that boy Sergio that I was telling you about last year? The one that came to my car talking to Brooklyn after Rhythm’s funeral?” I asked, and as if she already knew where this was going, she laughed and let me know that she remembered who I was talking about.
“Girl, so we’re sitting at the booth, and all of a sudden, Brooklyn’s ass started acting weird as hell. I mean, full on face turning head, looking like she was getting ready to have a panic attack, and pass the hell out. This girl was kicking me up under the table, telling me not to look, and just carrying on terribly. All because the nigga walked in the restaurant with his home boys. I guess she didn’t like her appearance because she was fresh out of dance practice, but Brook is a naturally pretty girl, so it don’t matter the time of day because my niece going to always look good. Anyways, he comes to the table, speaks to Brook, who barely offers him anything, and then he reaches out his hand for me to shake. The boy going to ask me if he can pay for Brooklyn’s food,” I said, and when I finished, Karina screamed, and she cut her eyes over at me for a second, probably just looking to see if I was telling the truth.
“That young nigga don’t fear you, Toni. If he did, he would have never brought his ass to your car after that funeral, and he wouldn’t have boldly come over to the table, shook your hand, andddd offered to pay for Brooklyn’s food. Did you let him? I would have told his ass to put enough money on the table to cover the entire bill,” Karina voiced, and I knew that she was telling the truth too.
“Girl no. I told him that he didn’t have to pay for it. He eventually walked away. When our food came, Brooklyn barely ate, so she packed it up to go. Cousin, I wanted to beat her ass so bad for the way that she carried on,” I let her know, and Karina thought that this entire exchange was hilarious, so she sat in the driver’s seat, cracking up, as she was cruising on 95, trying to get us to our destination.
“You know she like him right? Brook wouldn’t have carried on like that if she didn’t like him. That girl about to be eighteen years old, T. Brook makes it clear to you, and everybody around her that she’s getting the fuck out of Miami to go to college. Thatboy approached her twice in front of you. He telling you right there that he want her. You can’t be surprised though. I feel like that shit is genetics. Look at the kind of niggas that her mama likes. Tamp has never wanted anything but rough neck niggas. You got a picture of him? I want to see what he looks like,” Karina rambled on.
