Jeminye, a Jamaican student who has always been a simple "good girl". Followed all her mothers rules went to school got her degree, went to church.
See what happens when Jeminye gets the opportunity of a lifetime to go to America for the first time...
It is now Saturday 3pm, the event Mr Smith invited me to will begin in the next 3 hours and I have nothing ready.
I was so consumed with work for the past couple of days, I completely forgot that the event was this Saturday.
At least the dress I ordered on the fashion nova website came this morning so it's not all bad news, I just have to find something to do with my hair.
As I got out of the shower and began to fix my hair I heard the door open.
Uncle?, he's not suppose to be home so soon.
"Hey niecy!, can I come up?", oh it's him I was a bit worried there for a second.
"Ah, give me one second!", I shouted while I tried to grab a robe to cover my naked body.
"Yeah you can come up now", I informed him.
"Hey, oh you're going somewhere? I'm sorry I can come back another time", he said as he was about to leave.
"No it's fine, I have a few minutes to spare maybe, I was invited to a work party by one of the board of directors of the company", I said excited.
"Bomboclaat Jem, that's great news yo I hope you're not calling an Uber I'm taking you for sure mek you pull up in the bloodclaat Benz", he ranted getting excited for me.
It felt good to know that he was happy for me, didn't even know he still had the Jamaican accent in him he hardly speaks in it anymore. I guess that's what happens when you've lived in America for a long time.
"Thank you so much uncle, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?", I asked.
"Oh nah that can wait hurry up and get ready, this is too big of a deal to be late", he informed me.
He's right.
"Yes, of course I'll let you know when I'm ready".

It is now 5:01pm and I've successfully did a light make up look.
I curled my hair then placed it into a ponytail, along with my shimmered black dress. My mom would always say you can never go wrong with an elegant black dress.

I grabbed my black & silver Saint Laurent purse, that I bought earlier this week to compliment my dress.
I quickly sprayed some Tiffany & Co perfume all over me but especially on my neck area.
I take pride in carrying myself well, beginning to think it's a Capricorn thing.
"Uncle! I'm ready", I shouted while rushing to go downstairs I have a feeling that I was going to be a bit late.
I pray to God I don't make a Cinderella entrance I am filled with way too much anxiety for that type of attention.
I grabbed a few folders, I know tonight is suppose to be about meeting new business opportunities but i think it is full time I let the persons in power know that they are being robbed.
