Aaliyah

"Are you ready?" Harmony asked as we got dressed for the Career themed party that Evelyn & Trish put together.

I knew it was going to be lit so I was head over heels about going.

We decided to get dressed here since the guys are at my house and we aren't riding together.

I checked my outfit in the mirror once again.

I decided to take on something slight, ring master costume.

It was easy to do and I knew I could customize the outfit to my liking and not to mention how it hugs my curves.

I put on my red lip stick that topped it all and black top hat.

"You look goooood." I hyped myself.

I had on black fishnet tights with black knee high boots & black high waisted shorts.

On top, I wore a white tank top tucked into my shorts that has gold trimming.

I grabbed the final touch, my red velvet jacket with the 2 tails, tassels on the shoulders & a simple black bow tie.

I was so excited to see what everyone dressed as and to see who wins the best dressed contest.

We were already drinking with the music blasting through the house and everyone was keeping the blunts in rotation.

I finally walked out, ready to leave.

"Y'all bitchessss ready?!" I yelled as loud as I could.

They came from everywhere, making me laugh.

Arianna dressed as a nurse, Harmony a flight attendant, Jasmine a military brat & Jameson a firefighter.

"Let's go! I wanna see Aubree's outfit that he wouldn't tell anybody about." I spoke.

"If we get here and he's a fuckin' therapist—"

"Or a lion to this fuckin' tamer." Jas cut Arianna off.

"Ring master, bitch. I watched her seamstress work too hard for you to mislabel this outfit." Jameson came through, laughing at everyone.

"Oooouuuu." We all stared at him, Jameson was literally gorgeous but he's so gorgeous that you knew he could only be gay.

I hope that makes sense and I hope that isn't offensive... He's just breathtaking and full of life.

Since he ended his last relationship and picked up my former position, he has been so happy... he learned the value of self love. Now, I'm pretty much just watching him grow and glow beautifully while doing it.

He'll still call me in for backups, consultations, advice, and he's my date to pretty much all of the events that come along with it, since Aubree is tired of them.

"Aaliyah!" Jasmine yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hmm?" I looked at her.

"Come on, I have your purse." She said.

We proceeded out the door, the night officially taking off.

The entire ride there... we talked about everything & everyone, messy as hell but so what, it's only us.

It's a different type of messy though when you bring in which Italians are fucking, the Haitian stories, Jameson's work stories, our personal life stories, it's just a lot of talking.
