He listened to her sighed repeatedly with a mischievous glint in his glistening black orbs. Then, he started laughing when he couldn't hold it in anymore. She turned to him, staring at him as if he had gone mad which he was sure looked absolutely like that. He tried to stop laughing and fairly succeeded.

'Taiye, are you okay?' She asked him with a suspicious look.

'I am,' he managed to say despite his laughter.

'Then why are you laughing as if the engine of your brain is sparking?' she questioned him.

'It's just, we are not totally late. We can make it to the party if we want to Seiyafa.' It took a minute for her to process his words. Surprise hit her then happiness which was quickly followed by anger.

'Oh you!' she said. 'You can be such a prick you know?'

'Probably,' he said and met her glare. He cleared his throat. 'I guess,' he said truthfully. She nodded in satisfaction at his confession.

'That is definitely better. Well, I'll get ready though am sure we will be late party crashers,' she said.

'Yeah sure.'

'How long do we have?'

'Huh?' he said.

'How long do we have? Tell me the ideal time,' she snapped at his stupidity.

'About an hour,' he said. 'If we don't get there in an hour, then I do not think it is worth a try.'

'I'll do thirty minutes. Lete go and get ready,' she said excitedly, standing to her feet and heading towards her bedroom.

'Sei?' he called. She turned to him then.

'Yes?' was her answer.

'Sei, are you sure about this?' he asked her with worry in his voice. Oh, mischievous Taiye was swiftly becoming worrywart Taiye. Oh just how sweet was that!

'Yes I am,' she said in a sweet voice. He knew that voice. The voice made her sentence sound like Yes I am very sure father. She was teasing him for worrying about her.

'Sei,' he said to her in protest. 'I am serious Seiyafa.

'Relax Taiye, I am very sure, sure as hell! Now keep yourself busy with the television while I get hot!' she assured him with a smile.

'Whatever,' he said making himself comfortable in the chair.

'Sure,' She replied before going into the bedroom to dress up. He stood and put on the television. He took the remote and went through the channels. He went to the kitchen and got a glass of fruit juice from the fridge for himself. He knew his way around the house properly. Seiyafa had and was still his best friend for six years and going. Though they were of opposite gender, they were involiable like five and six.

Seiyafa was glad that she had already decided since the week before which clothes to tog her body to transform her into a minx. It was a body con off shoulder black dress that suited her chocolate brown skin. It showed off her womanly curves, just the way she wanted. She put on the dress after a bath and body groom. Her small breast were surprisingly full of cleavage in the insidious dress. She just knew that Monica would go and with jealousy when she laid eyes on her with Taiye. That would be if she even cared for him, that bitch.

In beauty, Monica was one hefty queen on the throne with her smooth fair skin and pleasant bounty. She had tempting lips the colour of rose and teeth that put toothpaste to shame. Seiyafa was also attractive in comparison, all dark and smooth, ebony. But, Monica was more catching. You would notice her even if you didn't want to. Seiyafa was counting on the fact that Monica was too full of herself to get the bitch jealous. It was one hell of a way because the greedy hogging bitch always wanted everything to herself, always. Well, she would succeed in it, she must.

She was angry. How could she dump her best friend for no reason whatsoever and then use her Seiyafa as an excuse? That was definitely uncalled for. She would show that bitch at this party. Anyways, Ron would be there. She smiled at the thought of seeing her ex boyfriend. It would be like killing two birds with one stone if he showed up. The bastard had dumped her too for no reason even when he was in the wrong, but she still loved him, still wanted him back and she was going to win him over.

She sat at her dresser and picked up her closure wig. She brushed it, adding weave on oil to it. And then she wore it. She slid lip glimmer over her full lips once, twice and then felt quite satisfied with her look. She put on her silver hoops earrings. Her six inches strap heels followed suit. She stood and stared at herself in the mirror. She smiled radiantly. She was ready to make the kill.

'Monica and Ron, here I come!' she declared with a small giggle.

'Seiyafa aren't you ready?' Taiye asked coming into the bedroom without knocking. She turned to him, not in the lest offended.

'How do I look?'

'You look good,' he said to her. She made a mean face at him.

'Just good? And said that way?' she said to him with a scoff. He broadly smiled at her.

'Oh my Sei! You look hot!' he said in a mock enthusiastic tone.

'Fuck off!' she said complacently. 'I am done. Shall we?'

'Yes, we shall,' he said. 'My car is just outside, around the corner. Your landlord parked in my favorite spot out front,' he grumbled.

'Whatever. Let's go.' She went to him. He took her hand in his and met her eyes. They smiled happily at each other and left.
