I'm Aaliyah a nurse at the California International Hospital. Today is my big 3-0!!

My bestfriends Morgan and her boyfriend Derek are taking me out to the Ultra Lounge downtown.

It was 7:35pm and they were coming to pick me up at 9:30 so I needed to start getting ready.

I took a shower and washed my hair. Then shaved my legs and moisturized.

Sat at my vanity and grabbed my mirror. Stippled on a full coverage foundation and highlighted/contoured my face.

I did a natural smokey eye with winged eyeliner. Fleeked my eyebrows and applied a soft, pink lipstick.

For my hair, I dried and flat ironed my hair. Laid my edges and put my mid-length hair in a high ponytail.

I opened my closet doors and figured out what I'm going to wear.

I took a tight, black midi skirt and a spaghetti strap, crop top. I paired it with some pumps.

I accessorized with some gold jewelry and that was pretty much it.

After a few minutes of looking in the mirror I heard a car honk. I came out and got into Derek's Porsche SUV.

Morgan turned around and Derek looked at me through the rear view mirror. Morgan said, "Dang!! Look at my bestfriend. You look hot." Derek agreed.

We pulled up to the Ultra Lounge and I could feel the music all the way into the car.

Morgan got it so that we can co right to VIP and didn't have to wait in line. We went to our booth and then to the dance floor.

It was lit, but as time passed I felt like I was intruding on Megan and Derek.

It was about midnight and at that point I was ready to go. I had to work an extra shift tomorrow.

I was sitting at the bar and ordered another mango margarita. I went to give the bartender my card but one was put out infront of it.

I looked up and oh my goodness! He was so attractive.

This mystery man said, "I got it." I just looked up. I was a tad bit speechless.

"So....what's up with the free drink?" I spoke.

"Well, for one, I'm good for it-"

"hmmm, wealthy"

"and two, I saw you sitting alone and figured you want some company " he concluded.

"okay so a wealthy stalker." we both chuckled a little bit.

He stuck his hand out, "I'm Jayceon." I shook his hand and said, "Aaliyah."

He repeated, "Aaliyah...that's a beautiful name."

"What do you do?" he asked.

I looked down at my watch. shoot. I rolled my eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, I'm a nurse that has to work tomorrow so I have to go. but thanks for the present."

He looked at me a little bit weird.

"It's my birthday" I say with a smile.

I grab my things and Jayceon speaks, "What hospital do you work at?"

I shout, "California International!" He smiles as a response.

Tonight was a great night.
