One In A Million (A Duke Dennis Story)

Chapter 16 part 1

Austin, Texas ✨

"We need this area cleared!!" Security yelled as wardrobe swarmed me.

After the whole Marie Anne situation I was on edge about being in public I knew this was a competition but  some people really played dirty while I ran clean the whole way through,never have I bashed anyone,body shamed anyone,or ran to the press with false allegations.

But that was all going to change Marie Anne needed to taste her own medicine....

"We got ten minutes to get you in this suit." Stacey said quickly plugging in her flat iron.

I quickly looked at the outfit before widening my eyes.

It was a see through nude jumpsuit that matched my skin tone it gave off a wet look covered in diamonds.

I felt like a doll as everyone worked on my outfit and hair at once.

"These extensions are crazy!" Stacey said excitedly clipping them in my hair. I felt the hair hit the back of my legs.

"All straight?" I asked not moving my head.

"They want you to have a wet hair look don't worry the straight hair is for your other looks."Stacey said shaking a spray bottle.

"Alright these are the pasties you're wearing tonight." One of the stylists said holding out nipple pasties my skin tone.

I raised my eyebrow as he didn't hand me them.

"Oh hey we apply them you don't have to move a finger." He said smiling.

"Oh honey..we don't get down like that." Stacey glared mocking him.

"It is protocol everyone here is professionals." He sassed at her.

I rolled my eyes at their back and forth taking the pasties.

"How about you just direct me putting it on myself?" I suggested.

"If that makes you more comfortable I can compromise." He said nodding his head.

I quickly turned around loosening my robe.

"Make sure you don't place them to high up you want to start from the bottom and cover your areolas." He explained.

I quickly placed the pasties on before turning around.

"Is it good?" I asked.

"Oh girl those titties..." Stacey said playfully flirting.

"You did great let's get you in this suit." The guy said plainly like it was nothing.

I quickly stepped into the suit as he and others pulled it up.

"Don't fuck up her hair!" Stacey warned crossing her arms watching.

"Stace chill." I said looking at myself in the mirror.

They quickly stepped back watching me.

"We might need to vacuum you in some the measurements are off." A lady said pinching the fabric.

"Ok whatever yall want to do." I said shrugging as a familiar face appeared.

"Oh shit Lani ok!" NLE said smiling hugging Stacey.

"You look great!" I said complimenting him as the assistants helped me put my heel boots on.

"You really do babe." Stacey said fixing something on his face.

"Appreciate yall for real ayo Kai!" He yelled causing me to snap my head towards the door.

Kai?

God if Kai's here..does that mean??

Nah couldn't be.

"Bro wassup with these brands giving me Fanum sized pants!" Kai complained walking in.

"Oh shit wassup Lani!" Kai said smiling.

"Hey." I faked a smile.

I didn't have time for this..if Duke was here and I'm seventy percent sure he was I really don't want to experience the awkwardness. I still haven't had the heart or time to tell Brandon what happened last night between Duke and I.

"Yoo Lani you look good ma heart." Fanum said coming out of nowhere.

I raised my eyebrow until I remembered what I had on.

"Thank youuu where's the other guys?" I asked mostly wondering where Chris and Agent was,they were the more chill ones.

"Duke in the crowd he'd love to see you for real." Fanum said causing Kai to smirk like he knew something.

I looked down blushing in embarrassment, I lifted my foot glancing at my shoes instantly regretting it feeling soreness his my bottom half.

"I doubt that...we gotta go her boyfriend wanna see her before she walk." Stacey said rolling her eyes taking my hand.

"Stace." I warned following her.

"See you in a minute Lani." Kai said watching us.

"See yall." I smiled.

"Them niggas full of shit." Stacey said shaking her head.

"They just being friendly." I said smacking my lips.

"They acting delusional like they don't know that they  friend don't know what he wants it's starting to piss me off." She said glaring.

"It's bad enough he tapped that cat." She said jokingly lowly.

"Stacey!" I hissed pulling her to the side.

"Girl nobody hear us."

"It doesn't matter until I talk to Brandon let's not throw that out there every five seconds." I said crossing my arms.

"You nervous to see him?" She asked with sympathy looking at me.

I nodded my head sighing.

"I can't deal with another potential let down talk." I stressed pouting.

She hugged me. "Awe Lani sweetie."

"I'm fine I swear sore but fine." I said laughing.

"I want you to be happy Lani I lived my life it's time you live yours girl." She said fixing my hair.

"Excuse me I do have a life I'm finna the face of the whole state tomorrow." I said playfully.

"Girl you need somebody to rub on allat booty at night."

"And how you going to say you want me to be happy but you planning to leave me?"

"I have lived my life I want to experience something different now let's get you on this runway and I can beat the shit outta Duke." She said confidently.

"We are here for a night let's make the most of it let's not end up in jail though." I said as Stacey and I made our way through the venue lobby.

"Can't make no promises I'm going clubbing with Bryson after this." She said popping her sucker out her mouth.

"You know we got a five AM flight." I shook my head as we got backstage.

"Yeah yeah yeah I gotta question for you though?" She asked clipping her hair carry on on her hip.

"Wassup?" I asked looking around.

"Was it good?" We didn't really get to talk about it last night.

"Bye Stacey." I shook my head laughing.

"Girl I'm tired of this sweet innocent act it was cute when you was a virgin you ain't fooling me now." She joked nudging me.

"Shut up!" I said biting my lip.

"Give me something I need some details! This why I need Jay here" She stressed.
