A GIRL LIKE ME

•Chapter 6

It was Saturday the night of the party that Julian invited Jayde and her friend to.

She slipped on the dress that she saw at the store and fell in love with it all over again once she saw herself in it. Her best friend helped with her hair which was a middle part buss down with curls. Jayde then paired the dress with silver laced heels and a silver Christian Dior bag with matching accessories. She knew she would turn heads at this party but the only person head she wanted to turn was Julian's.

Jayde hadn't talked to Malik in about a week. She didn't make it a big deal because she wasn't into him like she thought she was, but now in the back of her head she was hoping she'd see him soon. He was a nice gentleman and a good time.

"Bitch you look good as fuck. Turn around lemme see how that ass sittin." Serene complimented her bestie , spinning her around to see the full outfit. "Thanks sista. You look bomb too. You ready to go?"

Serene nodded and they did final touches on their hair and makeup before leaving.

The party was damn near at full capacity. Every one was either with their friends dancing , drinking or smoking. Some were even shooting dice and others were coupled up kissing on one another. "Damn it's a lot of people here, and they ugly too." Serene said looking around as a group of guys stared up and down at her and Jayde as they walked past.

"Yeah I know. I'm just looking for Julian." Jayde said roaming the crowds to see if she could find him. He had to see her in this dress. After reaching the second floor , she finally found him in a room with some of his friends who were shooting dice.

"Hey." She said grabbing Julian's attention.
He looked down at her , taking a sip of his drink before speaking.
"Hey lil mama. Glad you could make it." He hugged her softly as she got a whiff of his cologne.

He pulled away and his eyes grazed her body looking at her with lust. "I told you this dress would look fire on you. Damn." He looked sexy tonight as well but Jayde kept her nasty comments to herself.

She playfully rolled her eyes. "Thanks. You look good yourself. Anywho this is my best friend Serene, sista this is Julian." She introduced the two.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Ms.Serene." Julian took her hand and kissed it.
"Likewise. Well I'll leave y'all two alone and go about my business." She kissed Jayde on the cheek. Before leaving the room she whispered, "Girl you better fuck him tonight."
Jayde laughed making Julian raise an eyebrow at the both of them.

"You smoke?" He asked taking a blunt from behind his ear sparking it.

She slowly shook her head watching him put the blunt into his mouth , lighting it and taking a deep pull from it.
"No." She audibly said.

"You don't say much do you?" He laughed looking at her , practically watching her every move.
Jayde grew shy because she hated eye contact.

Shrugging her shoulders , "I feel like I say enough."

"You wanna go somewhere more quiet. I know this ain't really yo scene. You don't seem like a party girl." He offered.
She nodded her head and they both left the room and went into the one across the hall. He closed the door but didn't lock it , plopping himself down on the bed as Jayde sat down softly trying not to rip her dress.

"So tell me a little bit about you mama. I know this ain't the right place to get to know each other but might as well take the opportunity." Julian said taking another puff of the weed.

Jayde cleared her throat, "I'm 24, nursing assistant and I have a son, Jace. What's your age and do you have any kids?"

He looked at her before taking another puff. "I'm 28 and nah I don't got kids."
