Greater Than Temptation

chapter nine

"I left all the doors unlocked and you said you're on your way. When you get here don't just say a word, got no time to play."

AMIRA

I walk into my apartment on the phone with my friend Stacy, who moved out of NYC last year she's calling me about tonight's clubbing plans

"Of course girl you already know I'm there it's definitely been a week"

"I know, girl if I was in your shoes I don't know what I would've done I'm too selfish I'm not even gonna try to act like I'm not"

I laugh at Stacy's comment, I love Stacy she's so brutally honest and she's not selfish with the people she loves

Nia can't come tonight because Ms.Girl is on a date!!! My bestie is getting back out there again!!! After her trash-ass boyfriend treated her horribly

"Okay text me when you're about to leave out," Stacy says

"Okay Stacy I love you babe talk to you later"

I get in the shower and play Nicki Minaj's Pinkprint album

Only is probably my favorite song out of the whole album even though it's hard to pick

I moisturize in layers, The base layer is coconut oil to elongate the scent of my perfume, then I apply NAMIRA™️'s coco vanilla bombshell body lotion and then apply the thick body cream onto my skin

I spray Kay Ali Utopia Vanilla Coco 21 onto my collarbone area, my neck, behind my ears, and my wrists. I do not play about my hygiene, I love smelling good

I spray my Sol de Janeiro number 62 body mist spray as the final layer, I tried to get into 71 but it just smells like burnt popcorn with a hint of rubbing alcohol. It's so upsetting because I'm a coconut and vanilla scent girly.

I put on my pink satin robe when I heard a knock

I look through the peep whole and see that it's Jalen at my door

"What's up"
"What ya doing? I'm bored" Jalen says
I roll my eyes shaking my head

"Stacy and I are going to the club in a few," I say
"I'm coming with," Jalen says

"Unt uh no you not, IM going with Stacy" I emphasize the "IM" to show him I'm serious

"Yes I am, plus you're a lightweight drinker with a very flirty personality when you get tipsy, and you're my little cousin. So I'm coming, think of me as your bodyguard" Jalen says with a sarcastic smile

I'm definitely not a lightweight drinker

" UGHHH" I sigh
"come back in 25 minutes Jalen"

I walk into my walk-in closet and find the dress I'm going to wear tonight, Stacy said to wear something silver and most of all sexy

I put the dress on along with my jewelry and straighten and loosely curl my hair.
I spray hella hair spray because I know ima be shaking hella ass and acting crazy, it's gonna be litttttt

I start doing my makeup adding primer all over my face, then adding some foundation
Then concealer under my eyes and on my cheeks and forehead

Finishing some up I apply some blush and highlight on my nose and I'm the corners of my eyes along with eyeliner

I outline my lips with brown liner and apply natural pink/tan colored matte lipstick adding clear lip gloss to blend it
