"I see your hair is dope. As usual " I said and he smiled. "You know it" he said. He can do hair like seriously. He's cold. "My friend Tiffany is meeting us so I need to know the place " I said and he sighed. "Club luxury" he said and I nodded and texted Tiffany. 15 minutes later we made it to the club. "Am I even old enough?" I asked. "Girl please. My cousin is the owner. We get in for free" he said and I sighed and nodded. We walked up to the door and was greeted by a tall darkskin guy. "Whatsup cuzzo" the guy said. "Hey me and my girl wanted to come check the club out" Eric said and the guy looked at me with his grey eyes. "Wassup ma" he said noddin at me. I smiled and waved as he stared at me. "y'all can go in" he said and Eric grabbed my hand. I bumped into his cousin and he smirked at me showing his dimples and his white teeth . I smirked and followed behind Eric. "I'm going to get a drink" I said tapping Eric as he danced. "Okay girl" he said disappearing into the crowd. I sighed and walked over to the bar. "What can I get you" the white girl asked me in a new York accent "Ciroc" I said and she nodded. She gave me the glass and I took a sip of it and sat it down . Somebody tapped my shoulder and I turned around. It was hasan. "Guess it was meant to be huh?" He asked and I smirked. He sat on the stool next to me. "Let me get a shot of patron sis" he said to the girl. "Got you" she said and she poured it in the glass and gave it to him. He turned to me and smirked. "Why you here." He asked and I shrugged. "Came here with a friend" I said and he nodded. "Ya man?" He asked and I shook my head no. "Don't have one" I said and he squinted his eyes at me and nodded. "She's your sister?" I asked looking at the white girl as she made drinks. He nodded. "Yup" he said and I nodded. "Your number" he said and I smiled. I grabbed his phone and put my number in his phone. "See it wasn't that hard ma. You coulda just gave it to me the first time" he said. "Nah it's never that easy" I said. "I see" he said.
