'Til It's Gone

#Ch2 - Mystery Guy

Before Yvonne knew it, it was Friday night. She would be going to Adrenaline the next day. She had ordered a dress online with the help of Ashleigh. It was a black bodycon dress which stopped just above her knees with a lace cut out in the back which stopped at the bottom of her back. It also had a deep v-neck line which she knew she would not have bought if Ashleigh had not forced her to. She decided to pair the dress with heeled black Chelsea boots which she had never worn before.

Yvonne began to rethink whether she really wanted to go to this party. Well actually, she knew she wanted to go but was just afraid of something going wrong. She decided that she would not drink and risk someone spiking her drink or anything of that nature. She wanted to let loose and have a good time but didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Mason: Yvonne, need your address.

She received a text from Mason interrupting her thoughts. She quickly sent him a reply and then tried to clear her mind so she could head back to bed. Just as she was drifting into a deep slumber, she heard the default ringtone of her iPhone. She picked it up to see Mason's name on the screen.

"Mason" she grumbled into the phone.

He chuckled. "Are you asleep?" He questioned.

Yvonne took the phone off her ear and looked at it for a few seconds before speaking into it again. "Nigga, I know you hear me talking to you on this damn phone" she made her irritation very evident.

Mason could not hold in his laughter. He was amused by Yvonne's attitude. "I'm sorry, alright? You can go back to bed if you want to" he apologised.

"It's too late for that now. You better talk" she said.

"You know you want to talk to me. Stop pretending" he laughed.

"Whatever boy" she laughed too.

There was a short silence over the phone as they continued smiling to themselves. "I'll be picking you up at eight thirty tomorrow, so be ready."

"Alright. I will be"

"So are you excited?"

"I guess so. I just want to have some fun but I don't wanna do nothing crazy, you know?"

"Yeah, don't worry. You'll definitely have a good time with me"

"Hm, we'll see"

"You sure will, because I'm the life of the party. The party don't start 'til I walk in"

She laughed at Mason's silliness. "Boy, you are doing too much" she said making him chuckle. They continued speaking for a couple more hours.

"Alright well, I'm gonna let you get to bed. I know you're tired"

"Thanks Mase, goodnight"

Goodnight Yvonne" he said before hanging up.

Both Yvonne and Mason went to bed thinking about how the next day would possibly turn out.

At about 6.30pm the next day, Yvonne started getting ready. She created a side parting and curled her hair with a bang coming down across her forehead. She did her make up very naturally but added a dark red lipstick to her lips. After putting on her dress and shoes, she added some jewellery. She took a picture of herself and then sent it to Ashleigh who had requested to see her final look. Just as she was putting everything she would need in to her clutch, she heard the doorbell ring. Once she had everything she needed she made her way downstairs to see Mason in her living room sitting with her father who was still in his jacket. He clearly just got back from his business trip.
