Remy and Drea made it back home from the cruise late in the afternoon, feeling a mix of exhaustion and excitement. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over their neighborhood as the driver dropped them off to their house. Remy turned to look at Drea, a smile tugging at her lips.
"I'm glad to be home," Remy said, reaching over to squeeze Drea's hand.
Drea nodded, leaning back in her seat. "Yeah, me too. That cruise was fun, but I missed our bed."
They laughed, sharing a quick kiss before getting out of the car and heading inside. After dropping their bags, they had a little time to relax before getting ready for their hosting gig at Elleven45 later that night.
"I'm thinking we should hit the mall before getting ready," Drea suggested as she kicked off her shoes and flopped onto the couch. "I want to find something fresh to wear tonight."
Remy grinned, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, let's do that. I need to pick up a few things, too."
They spent a few moments just enjoying being home again before getting in Drea's Bentley and driving to the mall. Once there, they walked hand in hand, their fingers interlaced as they strolled through the bustling mall. Drea's eyes were sharp, scanning the stores for something that caught her eye, while Remy seemed more relaxed, happy to let Drea take the lead.
They finally found a boutique that had just the vibe they were looking for. Drea pulled Remy inside, immediately drawn to a sleek black dress that hugged her curves perfectly. Remy found a blue dress and blue heels that made her look effortlessly stylish. They quickly made their purchases, then decided to grab some food before heading to their hair and nail appointments.
After a quick bite, they made their way to the salon. Remy got a side part straight lace wig, while Drea opted for a curly lace wig with a deep side part. The stylist worked quickly but skillfully, making sure every detail was perfect. When they were done, both women felt refreshed and ready for the night ahead. They got their nails done next—Remy choosing a simple black, while Drea opted for a French tip.
By the time they finished their appointments and got home, it was already close to 11 p.m. The night was just beginning, and they were ready to turn up.
Remy checked her reflection one last time before they left, making sure she looked perfect.
"You ready, baby?" she called out to Drea, who was in the other room.
Drea emerged, looking stunning in her new dress.
