MELANIE
11 am
My grandpa on my mothers side the other O.G. who's his life semi straight looked at me up and down as he let me talk. "What are you about to ask?" He says rubbing his chin. "Can me and Vincent have the keys to the house in Oakland and we will stay out of the way." I say smiling at him. "Last time I gave your brother a house it got destroyed." He says. "Thats because you gave it to my brother. I am clean, quiet, and invisible." I say putting my hands over my face. He laughed. "Yeah you can take the house." He says I smiled and started to head upstairs. "But you have to come to Josslyn's 50th birthday dinner." He says. I stopped. "When is that?" I say turning around. "Tonight." He says. I internally screamed and bent over. "What's the theme?" I say. "The royal ball and don't wear blue." He says. "Oh okay sis live out her princess days. I'll go find something." I say. "Thank you. You're the true princess we know it." He says. I smiled at him and blew him a kiss. "Thanks Pa, thats why I love you." I say walking upstairs.
"We got a place." I say walking into Vincents room. "Is it like an actual place or an abandon building?" He asked. "A house. Where we have two separate wings of the house." I say folding my arms. "What if I wanted to sleep in the same wing as you?" He says looking at me. My eyes widened and I covered my mouth to hide my smirk. "We have to go to my set Grandma's royal ball tonight. But we can't wear blue" I say pointing at him. "I think that last part was just for you because i'm not going ."He laughed while getting up. "Probably- Yes you are!"I say. "No ma'am this isn't my family once again."He says. "Okay, i guess i'll go try on dresses myself. Hope there's someone really good looking that can help me pick a dress and be my date" I say shrugging and walking out of his room.

"Why are you in the blue section?" Vincent says coming up behind me. "Jesus fuck, I thought you weren't coming." I sighed while covering my chest. "I wasn't then i thought why not go enjoy a nice party Vin. I deserve it. Then regretted it when i kept hearing ooo this is so pretty, no this one is pretty, no wait this one is so pretty. Yanno talking to yourself in public can make you look crazy." He says "whispering" it to me. "You're not funny." I say shaking my head. "Did you find anything else?" He asked me. "Yeah, they're in the fitting room." I say. "Are any of them blue?" He says. "No!" I say standing in the fitting room. "Good." I hear him say. I shook my head and tried on a puffy Black dress. "Okay how do we feel about this one?" I say walking to the mirrors. "You look like a puffy scrub daddy." He says "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" I say looking at him through the mirror. "Bad. No black." He says shaking his head. "You're wearing black!" I yelled. "With green and gold accents." He says correcting me. "Barely" I mumbled. "Next dress." he says telling me to go. I walked back to the fitting room and tried on a yellow hi-low dress.
"Okay what about this. I know nobody is gonna wear yellow because who wears yellow and- you don't like it..." I say looking at his face. "Hi-low is so 2014..." He says. "At least you're honest... I have two more or im getting one of the blue dresses." I say walking back to the fitting room. I tried on this fiery red/orange dress with a long feathery trail. I walked back out. "Okay you're going somewhere." He says nodding. "Okay but can I wear it for a little longer I look good." I say admiring myself in the mirror. I glanced over at Vin and he was doing the same. "Okay next dress." I say walking back to the fitting room. I did this velour hunter green gown with a slit going up pretty high I personally love it and I think Vin is gonna like it too. "Now I don't really care for the ribbon things but this one... I really really like." I say standing outside the dressing room. "I kinda like it, come in the light to let me see it better." He says fixing his posture. I walked to the mirrors and looked at him. "Thats the dress." He says. "Good because I did not want to look for other dresses." I sigh in relief. "Wanna grab something to real to eat before this?" He asked. "I could eat." I shrugged as I walked to the dressing room.
