It was Saturday night, and Aaliyah was feeling ready to let loose.The stress of the week still weighed on her, especially the situation with Tyrone, but tonight wasn't about that.
Tonight was about her girls Honesty and Monet and hitting up one of the hottest spots in Chicago. Monet, her friend who was blowing up on YouTube, was in town for the weekend, and Aaliyah was more than excited to show her around.
Aaliyah stood in front of her mirror, admiring her outfit. She was rocking a sleek LV dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, paired with her LV boots and a Chanel bag slung over her shoulder.
Her hair was styled to perfection, and her makeup was flawless. If nothing else, she was about to make a statement when they hit the club.
She met up with Honesty and Monet at the entrance of the club, the bass from the music inside already vibrating through the streets. Monet looked incredible, dressed in her influencer best, and Honesty was serving up her usual fierce style.
"Y'all ready for this?" Monet asked, her excitement contagious as they headed to the door.
"I heard this place is wild!"
"Girl, you have no idea," Aaliyah laughed, linking arms with her friends as they walked past the line and straight to the entrance.
Monet's status as a top influencer and Aaliyah's own growing fame as a model meant no waiting in line. The bouncer nodded at them and let them in without a second glance.
Inside, the club was packed, the lights flashing, and the music booming. It was exactly what Aaliyah needed a night to forget her worries, even if just for a few hours.
As they walked through the crowd, the DJ's voice cut through the speakers.
"Ayo, we got some celebrities in the building tonight!" the DJ shouted, and everyone turned to see who he was about to shout out.
"Chicago's very own, the baddest model in the city, Aaliyah, is in the house! Make some noise!"
Aaliyah flashed a smile, her confidence soaring as flashes from phones went off around them.
It was moments like this when she remembered just how far she had come her name carrying weight, her presence commanding attention.
"And of course, shout out to the queen herself, Monet, one of the top influencers in the game, all the way from L.A.!"
Monet waved, the crowd eating it up, as they walked toward the VIP section, soaking up the energy. But then, the DJ's voice cut through the music again.
"Y'all already know what time it is! We got King Von, Chicago's prodigy, in the building! He's about to perform his top track tonight, so make some noise!"
Aaliyah froze, her heart doing a flip in her chest. She hadn't expected that. King Von. She hadn't seen him in months.
Her breath hitched as the spotlight swept over to the other side of the club, illuminating him. Von stood there, looking every bit the king that he was confidence dripping from him as he prepared to take the stage.
