Grown Enough (On Hold)

Chapter Twenty Two

6:00pm...

Aaliyah

"Okay, ladies. I'll see you... Not tomorrow but day after that, remember?!" Our overly hyper instructor wrapped this up.

"Okay." Majority replied.

She planned her a courthouse marriage for now. She said they'll have a big fancy wedding once their families get to know each other.

I thought that was cute. It'll be one hell of a party, too.

"And, congratulations, on joining the Mrs. Club!" Kamona stuck out her tongue and held up her rock.

"Say that!" A few joined in.

I laughed at them as I packed my books.

"Hey, y'all, everyone here is married or pretty much so, what do y'all think about having a little couples night or something?" Kamona questioned.

"We could wax them, laugh at their pain tolerance, have dinner, drinks, and good conversation." I chimed in.

This was definitely of interest to me.

"For sure! I know you know all the great venues in the area... I've seen the photographs from some events your family has held." She replied.

I smiled. "Yeah, my mother in law lives for this type of stuff. She usually plans out those huge gatherings."

"Oh my goodness, the career themed party she threw was astounding to say the least! My fiancé and I got a late invite but we could never turn it down! We got our outfits together in a weeks time!"

I didn't know what to say so I just smiled.

"Really? We searched high and low for those invitations, couldn't find even one, and that's with a prize price." Another girl, I think her name is Willow, came in.

I really sat at a loss for words simply because I ain't know it was this big of a deal.

"How many people knew of this party?" I questioned.

"I'm not one for exaggerations but online it is was definitely a few tens of thousands in the comments and likes." She looked at the girls for confirmation and they nodded in agreement.

"I may even say a few hundred thousand."

They continued their discussion, always coming back around to how they loved the decorations.

I didn't want to just jump the gun and take over so I waited to say I would do the planning.

I'll definitely have to get Aubree on the phone no matter what tomorrow, the least he could do is fly in for a night.

"We'll have to get together, Aaliyah and write out all the details, whenever you're free." Kamona smiled to me.

I nodded in agreement.

"She is going to have a lot of free time in the next month or so, huh?"

"Whew, sooner than that, Chile... I wouldn't be mad if she pops her ass out tomorrow. Momma is tied." They laughed the entire time I was talking but I was serious.

I'm tired.

I'm ready to drop this load.

We took our time leaving class and I actually feel like I connected with them today, which is rare.

I usually do my work and keep silent.

It was nice engaging with new people.

I got into the house and settled as quickly as possible.
