Today was Reese's Celebration Party for his deal With Nike and I hadn't expected it to be such a big thing but I was wrong . Supposedly there would be paparazzi for the up and coming business monguls magazine as well as photographers from Nike to introduce their new partnership . The shit was big and quit frankly I didn't want to go but Lia was excited to be feeling like a celebrity as she put it .

"Marie this is big ! Like my picture might be inna fucking magazine " she says running all around the apartment. Me ? I was already dressed and had my hair laid , since it was a black and white theme I went with the color black for my main color . Reese made it clear this wasn't some fancy party , he wanted everyone to come dressed as if we were going to kick back .

In other words this nigga was throwing a ghetto party and the only difference was he had the money to do it big . Plus the cameras and flashing lights .

"Lia do not over dress " I warn but she wasn't hearing me at all . Last month at the hotel me and Reese decided to exchange numbers . He had already face timed me to see what I was wearing claiming he wanted to make sure I was in dress code . As long as the main color of my outfit was black I was good .

"I'm not ! You dressed so damn plain " she groaned coming into my room with a cute enough dress on and heels , I'm sure wasn't the only one wearing a dress and heels but I definitely went with the jeans and heels look . "Compared to you of course ima look over dressed , although them jeans is cute and got you looking fine in all the right places "

"That backwards ass compliment " I pointed out and flicked her off . Lia was a dressy upper and I just wasn't . I made it cute but Reese clearly made it known we ain't have to do too much and I took that to the mfn heart . "It's wasn't a backwards comment ,how your dressed most likely fits the aesthetic of this party . From Tommy's Story it's already giving ghetto freaknik vibes " She says and I laugh .

After another forty five minutes she was ready and forced her keys into my hand claiming she still needed to do touches to her hair . I got my hair did yesterday and for effort I put on some lashes and lip gloss , I wasn't wearing no damn make up .

We pulled up to the venue and the parking lot was packed . In the front of the building there was a black carpet that rolled all the way to the end of the walk way with a Nike sign on it . Camera people and shit was all in the front taking pictures of everyone who walked inside .

"Aw Hell nah ,I'm not taking no picture " I say as I find a parking spot . "Yes you are ,now call Reese like he told you to so he can know we here " She says and I roll my eyes eyes . Last time I checked she didn't even like him , what happened to that ?

I pulled my phone out and called him anyway and sadly he answered . "Ima meet you in the front " was all he said before hanging up on me and I slid my phone back in my purse . Lia hooked her arm in mine and we made our way up there .

Reese came out the front door and the camera people went crazy asking him questions and taking his picture . When we approached Lia posed for some pictures and Reese ushered her inside .

"Let's go " I told home wanting to get my ass inside but he stopped me .

"Is this your girlfriend Reese ?!" One of the camera people asked and snapped a picture of us . "Nah this just my close friend " he says and then turns to me throwing his arm over my shoulder . "Now smile " he demands and I do . They snapped a couple pictures and I pulled him inside .
