Planning & Parties

March 1st 2023
Zara's POV

After attending the Roc Nation Brunch with Tyler back in February, I started working just as hard on planning his birthday party like I was getting my business together. With the extra time I had in my hands now I was able to do both without feeling overwhelmed.

So far I had the venue booked (which was his backyard). I had the cake booked with a random meme I knew T would enjoy. I had invited all of our friends and close family members. Today's mission was to go out and buy decorations. T usually doesn't like to make a big deal out of his birthday but this year I was going to just because he was such a good friend and let me spread my wings to do my own business venture. I wanted to show him my appreciation the only way I knew how. Big and over the top because that's just how I like to move.

Ryah: Are you sure T is gonna like this?

Zara: (grins) Of course I am! He's gonna be very appreciative.

Trini: I feel she would know that better than us Ry.

Ryah: (shrugs) Sure. I'm just saying though.

Zara: It's gonna be a surprise anyways. He thinks that he's just gonna get a cake like he does every year. I have a whole day worth of distractions planned out for him. That will give us enough time to get the venue set up and all that good stuff.

Trini: (smirks) I just want to see how you're gonna pull it all off without him getting suspicious. It's not like you're his assistant anymore. What are you gonna do about the new one?

Zara: The new one is in on it. Duh! That's who I'm gonna have distracting him all day.

Ryah: (sucks her teeth) Don't get that girl fired fucking around with you.

Zara: I'm not! She's not gonna be doing anything too outrageous. She's just gonna keep him busy for a few hours.

Ryah: (raises a brow) Busy how?

Immediately, the look on her face made my eyes roll in annoyance. What she was implying wasn't too far fetched for her but was also unnecessary at the same time.

Zara: Get out of my car.

Both of my sisters began to laugh as we exited my Tesla. They were in town visiting and had decided to tag along with me on my excursion to Party city.

Trini: Will this place even have everything that we need?

Zara: Y'all ask a lot of questions. Have y'all ever thought about that?

Ryah: (shakes her head) No.

Trini: Hey. I'm just trying to make sure because Everything that you're trying to do is giving "Amazon".

Zara: If I can't find shit here there's plenty of other locations. Anyways, how's Douglassville been treating you Trin?

Trini: (sighs) It's cool I guess. I just wish I didn't have to break of the engagement with Alex.

Ryah: I told you not to fall for that white man from the jump.

Zara: (hits Ryah's arm) Ry!

Ryah: (rubs her arm) Aight. I was out of line so I'll let that shit slide. Don't forget who's the big sister around here nigga.

Both Trini and I started to express to Ryah how no one was scared of her as we walked down the first aisle of the store.
