THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Okay, Chels, here we go. So here I am getting ready for an Ebony fashion shoot. I know how much you guys love BTS glimpses. So Kat and I will be popping on and off to preview a few looks. Okay, back later.
I’m still in disbelief. Did last night actually happen? The Grants ordering us to dad and Haley’s wedding? Please tell me that I imagined it. It feels so bad for Aunt Dani. She just keeps getting blindsided. You worried about her? I’m worried about me. When Naomi and I left her last night, she was okay, relatively speaking, but she’s been in that house all by herself all night.
Probably couldn’t even sleep. Everything’s just eating away at her. She’s gonna come in here totally trippin and take it all out on me. You watch. Nothing that I do will be right.
I was shocked. I tell you, shocked. First, because I’m pretty sure the legendary Anita Dupree has never once called me. But when I realized why she reached out, I almost fell out of my chair. Did I hear right? Your parents are asking the community to show up at Bill and Hayley’s wedding at your request? How does that even happen?
Dani’s putting the girls first. Naomi and Chelsea are Bill’s daughters. Naturally, he wants them at his wedding. Dani didn’t want them to be there alone, considering all the complications, so she decided to go with. Wow, Dani, I’m impressed. We do what we must. The good news is Fairmont Crest is happy to turn out for the cause, especially the women.
Dani will have all the support she can stand. I am so proud of you, sissy. Mm, mm, mm, mm. Incoming.
Sorry to interrupt. Easy fix. Keep it moving. I was hoping we could talk. Just for a minute.
Why not?
Ashley! How’s it going with the new job? Busy. I can’t talk. Dr. Richardson wants me in a patient room. Okay, just confirming tonight. Yeah, looking forward. Same. Okay, bye.
When you weren’t at your office, I figured I’d find you here. Place you come to hear yourself think.
What do you want? A little respect for my daughter to start. Or was that asking too much? You don’t deserve my respect. If you ever did. Now, for me to hear you say that, that really saddens me. It does. You used to think your dad hung the moon. The way my little girl loved me, that was the best feeling I ever had.
Right until Hailey came along.
You tell me what has to happen for us to coexist. I’m willing to do whatever it takes. You can’t possibly expect me to believe you give a damn about me or my feelings. I do care, Dani. I’d like nothing better than for you to find forgiveness in your heart for me. Now, I realize that can’t happen overnight, and I’m good with however long it takes.
But in the meantime, we’re here, behind these gates. If we could just find a way to be Not Prince, but Sybil. It is not my job to make things pleasant or easy for you, Hayley. In fact, I intend to actively look for ways to make you want to move as far away from Fairmont Crest as possible. Anything else? No.
Good. See you around the neighborhood.
Dani handled that well, right? Haley’s still standing. I know, my sister. Something tells me this is the calm before a really bad storm.
Laura, oh my god. I was so worried about you. Worried? What’s going on? It’s Laura. She hasn’t come in yet and I can’t get a hold of her. Well, I’m sure it’s nothing to be concerned about. I mean, she and the boyfriend are relatively new, right? So they’re probably just having a little morning delight. No, Laura is responsible.
If she was going to be late, she would have called. I’m afraid something awful has happened. Life’s been lifing so much lately. You and I haven’t connected for a while. Oh, I know. I’ve been meaning to reach out. Hubby and I keep missing each other. Our schedules don’t seem to be sinking lately. Too busy, people.
It happens. Diego, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about arranging a workout series. Absolutely. Just let me know a good day and time for you. Great. I’ll contact you in the next day or so. Looking forward to it.
Right? That guy is fine. Makes me want to sign up for a series of my own. You’re grown. Gone and married and you’ve never been naive. You know how relationships evolve. People fall in love, they fall out. Situations that once worked, they become untenable. Untenable? Yeah. You know what’s untenable? You sleeping with your daughter’s best friend.
When you did that, you not only betrayed mom, you betrayed me. So no, I don’t forgive you. Okay, look, I realize I’m far from perfect, okay? And I haven’t always been thoughtful or kind, but my shortcomings as a man and a husband have nothing to do with the way I love my daughters. Nothing. I want to make things right with you and your sister.
That’s why I came looking for you. To at least make a start at getting us back on track. Well then you made this trip for nothing. Look, I’m not interested in your justifications for what’s inexcusable. As a matter of fact, I’m not interested in anything you have to say. As far as I’m concerned, my father is dead.
I got your text. What’s this about Laura? As you can see, she’s still not here. You know her. Laura is never late, certainly without giving me a heads up. She’s not answering her phone? Straight to voicemail. That is concerning. Oh, that’s Ted. Hey. I’m at the hospital with Lauren. She’s been hurt.
Yes, girl! Oh my god, you look amazing. You are killing it right now.
I’m not loving the hair. I do. In fact, I posted about how dope it is. It needs adjusting.
Better.
You must have been something to see when you were queen of the runway. Huh? I mean, those photos tell some of the tale. But in the flesh, walking that wall, slinging the hair? Oh, be still my heart. Honey, I wasn’t just a star, I was a meteor. With years to go, I could have been bigger than Naomi Campbell and Beverly Johnson put together.
Then Bill Hamilton walked into my life. May he burn forever in the hottest corner of hell.
If your intentions were to hurt me with those words, you succeeded. Listen, I’m just telling you how things are. You don’t deserve my forgiveness. Not after the casual way you blew up what was left of this family. And for what? A conniving little slut who couldn’t keep her legs closed? And instead of belatedly showing some consideration and class, letting wounds and hearts heal, you’re planting Haley on mom’s doorstep.
What kind of sorry excuse does that to the woman he promised to love? You had a whole life with mom, and you just toss her aside because someone younger came along? You are the oldest, most disgusting cliche in the book. Okay, look, I know everybody hates hearing it, but I’m gonna say it as often as it takes to sink in.
I love Haley. Okay? And I’m sorry my family was hurt, but what, you’d rather I stay with your mother in a loveless situation? Isn’t that more disgusting? Oh my God, you don’t get it, do you? It’s not about ending the marriage. It’s about you flaunting Haley in mom’s face. Getting married at the country club, dad.
Living in Fairmont Crest. It’s deliberate cruelty, and I wanted you to be better than that, but oh well. Look, Haley has her heart set on the country club, alright? She hasn’t had a lot in life and I want to make up for that. And frankly, I don’t see any reason we shouldn’t make a home in a community that I lived in for decades.
Yes, emotions are raw right now. Yeah. But after enough time has gone by, everyone will adjust. Because that’s what you decided. The great and powerful Bill Hamilton.
I can’t believe I ever looked up to you. Or wanted to be like you. You are despicable. You’re cold and arrogant and selfish. And you have the nerve to come here bleeding about respect. Where was your respect for your family where you were unzipping your pants for Haley? Hey, hey, don’t you talk to me that way.
You like it or not. I am very much alive, and I’m still your father. I’ll talk to you however I please. I didn’t seek you out. If you don’t like your reception, you can turn around and walk away.
Okay, MRI looks clean. And then there’s this. Good. Make those notes. Yep. You got it. Alright, thank you. Yep. Thanks. Laura. Going to be just fine. Okay.
I don’t have time for this. Nicole needs me and I’m planning a trip to Mau. Unfortunately, you won’t be traveling soon. It’s a bummer, but Maui will be there. Your recovery has to come first. Laura, is she alright? Displaced fracture. We’ll get her over to my clinic, free of charge, of course. I’ll call the North, though, to do the surgery.
Then, she can recover there. Listen, I’m incredibly grateful for you guys. But I can’t be out of commission right now. You said six to eight weeks? That’s impossible. It looks like you don’t have a choice. What in the world happened? I was driving home, and out of nowhere there was a motorcycle behind me with the tide beams on.
I couldn’t see, and I tried to gain some distance, but it stayed on top of me. Finally, I lost control, and I crashed.
It sounds like someone deliberately tried to hurt you. Sounds like attempted murder. That doesn’t make any sense. Who would try to kill me? I don’t, I don’t have any enemies or anything that anybody would want that badly. I’ll call Naomi’s husband. Jacob’s robbery homicide now. Maybe he’ll find out who did this.
Hey, have you heard from Laura? She’s in the hospital. Oh my god. Some lunatic ran her off the road and didn’t even stop. Oh, that’s awful. Laura could have been killed. Oh, I mean, she’s gonna be okay, right? Yes, but there’s surgery and a long recovery ahead of her. She’ll be out of commission for weeks. Aw, poor kid.
Well, not to minimize it, but like you said, it could be worse. I just don’t understand who would want to hurt that sweet girl. Oh, well. Times like these, people are seriously nuts.
You’re late. Bill’s been yelling for his number one paralegal. Well, I wasn’t scheduled for a meeting or anything. He must have forgotten. Possible. We thought that was going on. Um, Bill’s office? Yes. Okay. Congratulations! Gotcha! What is all this? A celebration of love. Yours and Bill’s for each other. And ours for the two of you.
Surprise, baby. Thank you, baby. You’re welcome. Oh my god, Oh my god. For me? Yes. It’s good. Chelsea, can you spare some energy? Is that too much to ask? Chelsea’s fine. You don’t need energy for test shots. Uh, I’m just checking the lighting. Thank you. This isn’t my first shoot, Mom. I know when to dial it up. Give me some movement.
Shoes have gotta go. Why? I want to see a longer leg. Kat, grab the higher heel, will you? Actually, I like the ones I’m wearing. They’re great with the outfit and they’re comfortable. You can be comfortable at home. Change shoes, please.
I knew she would be like this. Making me feel like I’m three. Like my opinion matters less than zero. You see why I hate this stupid job? It erases me. The woman that I am. Love you. Love you more. How is Dave? Your boyfriend? Yeah. He’s on his way now. He just found out I’m here. Good. You probably could really use him right now.
Such a thing to have gone through. I can’t imagine how terrified you must have been. I’m still shaking.
I just thought for sure I was dead. It’s okay, let it out.
It’s okay. That bike literally came out of nowhere. It just happened so fast. I was blinded. All of the arrangements are made. Check into the clinic anytime. This is just so above and beyond. I don’t, I don’t know how to say thank you. You just did. You are extended family, Laura. We are happy to help you. I just, I still can’t believe it.
I am so sorry, Nicole. There is absolutely nothing that you need to apologize for. It is not your fault some maniac tried to run you off the road. You were just saying how busy you and Laura have been with Nicole’s various projects. What are you going to do without her? I have to hire someone from the temp agency.
As a matter of fact, I need to get on that ASAP. Oh, okay. Well, hey, let me know if there’s anything I can do. Thanks, Liz. Absolutely. Mona, wait. I had a thought. What about Eva? What about her? Well, I know you’re not aware, but Eva has mad computer skills, and she’s very quick, organized, and she can even do hair, if needed.
Just let me know if, uh, you’d like her to step in for Laura. I mean, if that’s something you would consider. Are you kidding? Eva would be a godsend. She’s professional, personable, and I know Nicole would like her. Eva would really love that. It would be so good for her. I mean, she’s been at a crossroads in her career path.
lately and being exposed to Nicole and all the things she does will definitely give her some clarity. That sounds like a solution all the way around. If Eva has any assistance skills, or if she’s at least willing to develop them, that could make my life a whole lot easier. Tell her to call me. We’ll set up an interview.
I would be happy to do that.
I have a suggestion. Uh huh. Now if this offends you, feel free to put me in my place and forget I ever brought it up. Okay. I think you should sit this one out. The shoot? Yes. I am Chelsea’s manager. It is my job to supervise and guide her. I get that, but actually what you’re doing is soaking all the fun out of the process.
I guess I see your point. Yeah. Well, what am I supposed to do? Enjoy it.
I need attention, turn your head my way I’m gonna rack it up on the runway I’ll entertain you Sunday to Sunday Get them all watching like Hey, whoa Yeah, yeah, watch me
Was fantastic. You killed that, Chelsea. Thanks. And thank you, Andre. I actually had fun. Me too. It was awesome watching you work. You got something special. Like your mother. You did great, Chell. Thanks, Mom. Aren’t you the man of the hour? Turning a budding disaster into a good time had by all. What can I say?
It’s a gift. No, seriously, I’m just here to help however I can. Well, if you mean that, I could seriously use a distraction. Why don’t you hang around after the girls leave, have a drink with me. Let me think about that. That can definitely happen.
The fashion shoot was a big hit. 20, 000 comments and over 50k likes so far. Ooh, that should translate to some nice sales. All in all, this was a better day than I expected. Thank God for Andre. Right? I cannot wait to see those shoots. They’ll be amazing. Andre was phenomenal and you, you were truly awesome.
Ebony Magazine will be thrilled. To a job well done, cousin. Thank you.
That’s good. You’re wearing the necklace we got you. I love it. Thanks again, you guys. It looks nice. I knew it would. This is good. Being here together, it feels familiar and normal in a week that has been anything but. How are you hanging? You ready for tomorrow? As I’ll ever be. I saw him today. Bill? He tracked me down in the park, wanting to mend fences, demanding respect.
I told him my father’s dead to me, so Ouch. Bill Hamilton expects everyone to just dust themselves off and get on with accepting Hayley and him are together like it’s no big deal. Well, I’m not doing that. I’m going to hold Bill Hamilton accountable for the pain he caused with my very last breath. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you what a lucky man you are.
Oh, no kidding. Haley’s one hell of a catch. Yeah, you never lie. Of course, Dani was no slouch either. Especially back when you met her, back in the modeling days. Ha! Man, there’s nothing wrong with going new and improved. Keeps the old juices flowing. Look, if that’s your politically incorrect way of saying you’re happy for me, I’ll take it.
Can I have everyone’s attention, please? I’m not ordinarily the one to make speeches, but I have something I want to say. Do not annoy your mommy. You can do or say whatever you want. This man, this man has changed my life. No, better than that. Bill has given me a life. One that I never dreamed possible. Full of love and laughter.
Work that I’m proud of and the people in this room who have become my friends. I now have abundance. And it’s all because of you, Bill. This journey hasn’t been smooth. People who didn’t deserve it were hurt and I am genuinely sorry about that. But what I will never be sorry for is what I found with you.
Or the future that we’re walking into. Together. I love you now, beyond reason. And I can’t wait to be your wife! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! There we go! Yes! I can’t get over how amazing you were with Chelsea. She can be a real sourpuss. You lit her up. Yeah, um. I got the advantage of working at a distance. Makes it easy.
Well, she actually enjoyed herself. And so did I. Thank you. We both needed that. It’s been a rough road, huh? Just when I think it can’t get any worse, it does. Seems I will be going to the wedding tomorrow night. Okay, now that I’m surprised by. Surprise me too. That’s what my parents want. You haven’t been summoned?
No. I am related through my uncle’s side of the family. So not a Dupree by blood or by extension. Lucky you. A man can’t hope. Andre Richardson. Are you coming on to me? Could be. Is it working?
I think I’m gonna go. It’s been a long day. Coming? I think I’m gonna stay for a while. Me leaving you? That’s different. Gotta shake things up every now and then. Sure, I can stay a little longer. I’m good. Go. Love you. Love you. Are you alone? Not anymore. Did you hear from Dr. Richardson today? About Laura? Mm hmm.
Yeah, I did. Aunt Nicole’s assistant, Laura? What? What happened? Motorcycle versus vehicle. Hit and run. Are you serious? Can you believe it? Some crazy person ran Laura off the road. Dr. Richardson brought me onto her case. Is she alright? Need surgery. For a leg fracture. Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Listen, if you find the perp, let me know.
I’d be happy to represent Laura in a civil action. At least get her compensated, you know? Can we go back a little? You’re being assigned to patients already? I don’t know if I was assigned as much as I was the first nurse Dr. Richardson saw when he walked off the elevator. Or, come with me, Ethan. I want you on this.
But still I loved being used, and I think I made Laura feel a little better. Okay, so your first few days have gone well? They’ve been eye opening, in a horrifying kind of way. Um, please explain. Yes. I’m a good student. I aced all my tests, but this isn’t school or hypotheticals. This is real patients with real illnesses and injuries like Lara.
What I do, how quickly I react, can literally mean the difference between life and death. It’s sobering. Being a firefighter is like that. But you are naturally fearless. Me, I’m suddenly petrified. I’m starting to wonder if I Made a mistake. I mean, maybe nursing isn’t the profession for me after all. No.
You’ve had this calling since you were a kid. You answered it, and now you’re there because you’re supposed to be. Of course it’s scary. Big things are. But you need to trust your gut and don’t overthink. That’ll just freeze you up. You already have all the information that you need. You just have to apply it.
Girl, listen to your man. He speaks nothing but truth. Derek can always talk me off the ceiling. I love you, babe. I love you, too. Wait, you said you had news? Yes. So I finally got assigned a permanent partner. Oh, good. Well, at least until he retires next year, but I’ll take whatever time with him I can get.
Marcel Malone is the most brilliant homicide detective ever. I mean, he’s forgotten things that most of us will never even learn. And I’m sure your police chief father had nothing to do with putting you together. Well, if he did, I’m grateful for it. Now, Malone, he’s an arrogant jerk, but you can’t put a price on his knowledge and experience, you know?
Guys, excuse me, excuse me, everybody, everybody, uh, look. Haley and I want to thank you all for honoring us with all your good wishes. They have been scarce lately, so this celebration meant a lot to both of us. You guys are the best. Like, I was starting to feel like people weren’t happy for us. Seriously consider eloping to Vegas at once.
Wait, and cheat me out of a night at the Fairmont Crest Country Club? Girl, you better think again. Well, Bill talked me out of it, and I’m so glad he did. We may not have the full house that I dreamed up for my wedding, but our guests will genuinely wish us well. And that’s the way to start a marriage. And on that note, guys, this party is over.
We gotta get our beauty sleep for the big day tomorrow. Oh my God. It just hit me. We’re getting married tomorrow! Congratulations! guys so much. This shot is incredible. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing photographers. I’m talking about you. How you leap right off of the frame. So vibrant, so alive.
You know what I love most? The power I felt when I was on the runway or in front of a camera. It was like nothing I’d ever felt before. Certainly not since. And I wasn’t done. I just, uh, I just walked away. Bill Hamilton is a fool. Look at you. Then. Now. You’re magnificent. Lioness. And dare I say, one of the sexiest women I’ve ever laid eyes on.
That’s high praise from Caesar. Dance with me. Here? Now? Right now.
Oh! Watch your feet.
Got moves. Got moves. Love my little fingertips. On the other hand, I’m going to go in and land it.
How did I What happened? You fell asleep in the middle of Jacob’s down. Aww. Been out ever since. Seriously? I talked everyone’s ear off about my stupid insecurities and then when someone else tried to get a word in, I crashed? You were adorable. Ugh. And obviously exhausted, so I’m gonna go. I thought you’d get some sleep.
Not so fast, mister.
Strangely enough, I’m getting a second wind.
Oh my god, stop. So what can I do to make you feel better about tomorrow? Just, just stay close. Damn, woman, you drive a hard bargain. Stop. Ugh, I’m just glad it’ll be over soon. I will never have to think about Bill Hamilton and Hayley Lawson ever again. You know your father’s not gonna let you go that easily.
He doesn’t get to say. He made his choice and that was Hayley. Don’t have to live with the consequences. But you know I’m here for you, babe.
I can’t wait for our wedding night. It’s going to be so special. Yeah? Mm hmm. Do tell. Got a little something planned. Guaranteed to blow your mind. Oh. Mm hmm. Well, I happen to be available right now. Down boy. When we leave here, that’ll be the last you see of me until I’m walking down the aisle. Since when did you become a traditionalist?
Well, I only plan on getting married once, so I don’t want to tempt fate by ignoring the rules. Well, speaking of tradition, Caroline told me I was responsible for one. But, you know what an overachiever I am, I handled two. Oh. I was going to make a big presentation at the party, but I decided that this was a private moment.
Okay. Oh,
I never owned anything so gorgeous. You see what I did there? Yeah. Something new and blue covered. Come on, let’s make sure it fits. Okay. Left wrist, I think. Oh,
it’s beautiful. I love it. And I love you. Come here.
You know, your life is all wrong. Tell me about it. Seriously, you should be honored, valued, worshipped for the goddess you are, not tossed aside for some pale imitation. You are starting to be very good for my ego. Well, go with it. Put yourself in my hands. Forget about Bill. Even if it’s for one night. Let me remind you of who you were in those photos.
Who you still are. I’m
giving you this chance now. To give me all the love that you can now. Caught up in emotions. Caught up. Oh, you got me. Caught up in emotions. Caught up. Oh, baby. Caught up in emotions. Caught up. Oh, you got me. Caught up in emotions. You caught up in my feelings. I give you the key to my heartbeat. Free to go exploring if you want, baby.
Take a hit of this and we can talk now. We on a whole nother level. We know about. Yeah.
