Inevitable

Dinner

Janet
It was a Friday night and I was in my bathroom getting ready for a dinner my brother Michael was having. My Makeup artist Preston was giving me a natural beat since this was just a causal type dinner. "So Janet you know who's gonna be at the dinner your brother is having?"

"No, I just know it'll be a bunch of celebrities he loves and are close to him so that's really it. Oh and we have to wear white but that's really about it." Preston finished my make up after a while. I checked the time and I had 30 minutes to finish getting ready. I hugged Preston before he left then made my way into my walk in closet. I grabbed my white wide legged dress pants, with a white tank top and my white blazer and got dressed. I grabbed my white red bottoms putting those on. I gave myself a once over then went back into my bathroom grabbed few bracelets putting those on and a necklace. I sprayed some perfume then grabbed my favorite shades and my phone and made my way downstairs.

Normally I would have someone drive me to things like this and also have my bodyguard but I know Mike has it under control where it won't be that many paparazzi around. So I grabbed my keys to my all black Range Rover and walked out the house making my way to this special dinner.

When I got there it was valet parking out front so I got out handing my keys to the valet. I made my way inside and as I was walking I came up to a red carpet. One thing Michael did was go all out for any gathering he had. I walked the carpet getting my picture taken by the few photographers that were there then I made it into the dinning area where the dinner was being placed.

I walked it and there were a few familiar faces there. I made my way around giving most of the individuals I could hugs and small conversation. My picture was taken with a few of them as well. I still can't believe people be so excited to me.

"Dunk!" I instantly heard and my face lit up.

"Mike!" I smiled and hugged him tightly. It had been a while since me and hive had been together. We are both so busy with touring we never get the chance to see each other.

"You came!"

"Yeah I wouldn't have missed this dinner. I'm on break from my tour so I had to come out to see my favorite big bother."

"I won't tell Randy and Tito you said that." He said and we both laughed. After socializing with a few more people everyone sat at their designated tables as the food was being brought out. Janet was sitting at a table with all her brothers and sisters. They were all in discussion while Janet like normal would chime in every now and then if they said something to her.

"So Dunk, have you been talking to anyone lately?" Michael asked her making her look at all of them and chuckle a little.

"No I haven't found anyone yet, I really haven't had time to be looking for anyone. I've been busy with my tour." Janet said as she continued to eat. "Plus after the break up with René I just haven't been that interested in looking for anyone right now."

The relationship with René was one of the hardest relationships I've ever had. I loved him I did but he was too controlling and just wasn't healthy for me. We got into arguments just about every night. He would say things to hurt me and I would do the same to him, But I had finally made the decision to leave him and it wasn't one of the easiest break ups either. I'll just say I had to get a restraining order on him.

My siblings went back into another conversation until a young girl walked over to our table. "Excuse me?" The young girl said making everyone look at her. "Sorry to interrupt I just wanted to speak to Michael really quick." She said with a shy smile.

Mike got up and they walked a few inches away from the table. They were talking and laughing about something but all I cared about was who was that girl. She looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on who she was. All I cared about was how fine she was and how I was gonna talk to her.

"Jan you're staring." La Toya said only loud enough for me to hear her. I looked at her like I wasn't doing anything. She just laughed at me and Michael came back and sat at the table. Since I was sitting beside him I decided to ask him about her.

"Hey Mike, who was she."

"Really Jan you don't know Toni Braxton?"

"The name rings a bell, anyway what you know about her?"

"All I know is she's somewhat single and she has two sons and that's it."

"Cool, and what you mean she's somewhat single." I asked him curious of what he meant.

He laughed at me. "She's going through a divorce from what I was told."

I just nodded my head and looked over at the table where she was. She happened to look up at me and she smiled shyly. I smiled at her and waved her, then winked at her and turned back to my siblings to hear what they were discussing. Maybe disregard what I said earlier maybe I'll start looking for someone again, and that someone may be Toni Braxton.
