How Jesse Got His Karma

sixty-five

Third Person

"You know Karma as much as I love my Ryan, Imma need him to take a few pages out of 'The Book of Jesse Duran' because girl, he gave you a black card!" Paola says as Karma hops into the passenger seat of her car and she begins to back up out of my driveway.

Karma tilts her head in confusion, "What do you mean? He didn't give me anything?" she says

Paola nods vigorously and says, "Open up my bag and grab my wallet, his card is in there. It's not hard to miss...since I sure as hell don't own a black card." she snorts looking at the road.

Karma opens up Paola's wallet and is shocked to actually find a black card, "How did you get this?" she asks

Paola grins, "I went to their house this morning before I picked you up. Jesse would've given it to you in person but he knows you wouldn't have accepted it so he asked me to come to get it. He also told me I wasn't supposed to tell you it was his and to pretend I was buying it for you but there's no way you would believe that I magically own a black card." she shrugs

"So we're gonna go pick up Justine, and then we're going to get everything you need to be done today before your date," Paola says grinning, "Oh, and don't fight me about not using the card. Jesse quite literally threatened to kill me if he checks throughout the day and doesn't see any purchases on it," she says casually, drumming her fingers against the wheel.

I close my mouth in shock because I definitely was about to protests but I know for sure she's not lying.

"I only need to get my hair redone and get a dress?" Karma asks in confusion and Paola quickly looks at me, shifting her eyes from Karma and back to the road

"You literally have a man who gave you a black card. With no limit, might I add? Who threatened your best friend's life if you don't use it. I don't think he'll appreciate you spending $200 dollars or something when he expects you to splurge." Paola says, as she parks in front of Justine's house and pulls her phone out to call her.

Justine picks up the phone on the second ring saying that she's on her way and surely enough Justine is strolling out of her house rushing to the back seat.

When she comes into the backseat she says to the two ladies, "Hey! Hey! Hey!" she smiles widely as Paola begins to head in the direction of their first spot.

Justine opens the notes app on her phone and begins speaking, "Paola and I have decided to give you the Justine and Paola experience courtesy of Jesse."

Paola grins slightly calling back to Justine, "I thought we were calling it the Paola and Justine experience."

Justine rolls her eyes, "Same thing. Same thing." she sneaks a glance at Paola in the rearview mirror and looks back down at her phone.

"So the first thing on the agenda is the Bikini wax," Justine says shutting off her phone

"Bikini what?" Karma turns back around to stare at Justine, her look turns into a glare when Justine puts on a pair of sunglasses to avoid Karma's stare

"I don't need a wax right now," Karma says

"So you're prepared?" Justine asks lowering her glasses looking at Karma suspiciously

"Prepared for what?" Karma asks and Paola looks at Justine through the rearview mirror with a straight face

"Karma." Paola laughs not believing how innocent Karma can be, "Prepared to get it in."

"Prepared to hit the sack," Justine says

"Prepared to flick the bean," Paola says hitting her hand against the steering wheel
