per the treatment for the video that he wrote, akeem utilized a museum in barcelona to capture the mature visual that zaire and zayn had in mind for ‘forgive me.’ while he was running a few minutes late to the agreed set time, he ushered in a team of set designers that would be in charge of creating what he thought was the most important scene of the video. “the empty set is on the third floor. be sure to screen the fog machine. i do not want the girls to have trouble breathing because of it.” his assistant nodded, then continued directing the rest of the team he brought to the museum to the floor that they were assigned to. when the audio playback blared through the surround sound speakers, akeem hurried to the set so that he could make his presence known. though he skipped the time that the girls had blocked to be enhanced by the glam squad, he wanted them to know that everything was under control despite him being late. careful not to distract that from the scene that was currently being filmed, he focused on the large screen that detailed the work of the main camera. he stared at the screen, his eyes studying the details thoroughly before he squinted. a slight mishap on his part, he didn’t think the lights were majestic enough to capture the haunting nature of the visual. “CUT!” he exclaimed, bringing the music to a pause. after having a brief chat with his cameraman, he stepped onto the set to explain what was happening. “the lights on the set will be changed so that they revolve horizontally. with these outfits, it’ll make you both look like you’re moving without having to. so, when you do give movement, it’ll be speedy under the lights because it’s bouncing off of the leather. makes sense?” he clasped his hands together, directing his attention to both zayn and zaire. “you two look great by the way. how was the glam experience. anything i should know about before we move forward with the shoot?”

i saw gia’s avi and immediately said “i remember i was there for you bitches.”
