Pretend

the question

Erien

I was already ten minutes late because of Elana, my older sister, and other half. I shook my head as we both walked in to my mother's building and immediately made my way to her office.

"Oh my God! Did I just see Jacquees' fine ass in there?" Elana asked.

"Pretty sure Jacquees has no business being here," I reply.

"Well kill every dream I get huh!"

"Hush up. And please do not got nuts if you see someone famous or I will drag you out of here!"

"Yes sir!" Elana replies with a snicker. She had moved back to Louisiana a couple of years ago so she hasn't been in mother's new buildings or even had the experience I had.

I greeted Mommy's assistant, Angela, and she led me to Mommy's office. She opened the door and I could see she was talking to a client.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. Elana's shoes went mis-"

"It's okay darling. Why don't you and your sister take a seat while I finish with with Mr. Paul."

I nodded as we made our way out.
I took a seat as my phone vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out to see I had a message. I slid my finger across the screen and sighed as I read it:

TyTy👌: .. you free tonite ?

I ignored it just like I did with the others from today. Mommy's office door opened and she stepped out with a client.

"Oh shit," Elana mumbled, "Girl is that-"

"Thanks for looking out Ms. B, I really appreciate it."

"No problem Chris. If you have anymore problems, you know how to reach me."

Chris nodded and turned towards me.

"Chris, I'm pretty sure you remember Erien. And this is my oldest daughter, Elana."

"Ohh Paully Boy! Nice to see you again my dude," I reply.

Chris laughed as we did a kiddish dap we made up a few months ago. I was so used to ballers, but Chris was most definitely the coolest of them all. He's cool and his grind is trill. Plus I get free tickets to his games.

"You getting big E, you sure you ain pregnant?" he jokes.

"Shut up Chris!"

I looked over to see Chris and Elana staring at each other. I laughed to myself.

"Elana right?" Chris asks.

Elana nodded and I smirked. She was probably going insane on the inside.

"I'll make sure to remember you next time. I'll see y'all later. Thanks Ms. B."

"Be safe!" Mommy answered while turning towards me, "so how's the new house?"

"If you mean the too big of a house, it's beautiful. Your decor team will be in next week," I reply. Before I picked Elana up, I was at a meeting about my house.

I showed her the pictures of the spot of the ideas I had thought of.

"Wow. You've got a big space. You're sure you can afford this?" My mommy asked.

"Well for now I'm think I'm straight."

I still had enough money in my savings to get my house together. That's probably it. Plus the gas money.

"You know I'm just a call a way if you nee-"

"I got this! And I also have another meeting to get to!"
