Party Time

Everything is all set up. The drinks, the food all in their positions. The rooms looking really neat and clean, not wanting to make a bad impression on his friends, and the other people who will be joining on Michael's unforgettable party experience. His first ever party.

In his bedroom, Michael, wearing a long sleeve shirt, with black jeans, wanting to look 'cool' in front of the guests. The feeling of having many people over makes him nervous. He has never had a party before, hell he's unsure if he's even allowed to have one at his father's house during the pandemic times.

"Everything is ready Mr Brown." Hearing this, Michael rushes to the door of his room. Coming out of it as he screams to her 'Just gimme a minute.'

Hair brushed back with a small drop of gel in his hand, wiping it all over his hair, his hair now brushed back for a long amount of hours. Grabbing his leather jacket, wearing his white shoes. A style a bit unusual for the son of a powerful figure.

Rushing downstairs, seeing everything is ready and all sorted. "Jamie you are amazing." She smiles at him. Feeling flattered over his comment.

"How long will your friends arrive Mr Brown?" A vibration from his phone, Michael picks it up. Seeing a message from Alyssa. Alyssa is going to arrive in his house first based on the time she has given him. The other people are supposed to arrive in an hour and a half. Alyssa seems excited to see what Michael has prepared.

"A couple of minutes." He smiles. Jamie's smile vanishes slowly, starting to feel concerned about this party.

Michael decides to check outside in the backyard, till Jamie calls for him. "Mr Brown, are you sure you want to do this?" He becomes confused over what she has just asked.

"Of course. Why did you ask?"

"Don't you think your father wouldn't want you to be doing these kind of things in your house?" Michael becomes annoyed over what she has just asked but chooses to remain cool towards her.

"Jamie, listen, the party isn't going to last that long. Might last a few hours and then I'll make sure they all leave. And once they're all gone, I'll ensure everything is cleaned up before father knows it." Jamie doesn't feel even more sure about it. Sounds incredibly risky from her end.

"Trust me. It will be okay. You don't have to be involved if you want to. You can just go back home in your family so that you won't get in any more trouble because of me." Before putting his hands on his pockets, giving her a tip of $300. Passing it into her hand.

Jamie doesn't want to take it but the look Michael gives her, despite a happy look, beneath it is one she does not want to face, is enough for her to take it without silence. Michael smiles back at her, allowing the maid to go home with her family. She lives with her mother and her younger sister who is 7 years younger than her.

Michael supports Jamie in getting what she needed before driving back home. Jamie's mother doesn't really like her working in the Brown family, due to what they have done in the past, including recent events, wishing she would work somewhere else but working with the family is all she could do. Reaching to the car, Jamie closes her door, pressing the engine button before driving off, not before passing another car that seems to be arriving in Michael's house.

The car reaches past the gate, just before it's about to be closed. Seeing the car from his window, he knows who the person is. Excited he rushes to the door, till some anxiety starts to reach into his body. He's unsure how to approach it.

He could have opened the door but somehow struggles to reach towards it. He lets go of his hand. Letting his hands cross together before moving himself back, keeping a distance between himself and the door.
