The Love Diamond

Prep Party

November POV

Today was not a good day. All hell came loose in the apartment. Prepping for this formal was not easy. Brooklyn has no idea what shoes to get. Sage hasn't gotten her nails done yet and I am so lost between my feelings for Zikomo and Adande. Adande is hot and smart and he really loves me but he can be such a prick. Zikomo is tall funny and he has an infectious smile but he broke me even if it was just for a second. They both look good on me but someday I'll be forced to choose. Yet when I look into Adande's eyes the sky's the limit. When I look into Zikomo's eyes and I see endless laughs and good times.

"November snap out of it!" screeches Noah snapping his finger in my face. "Us guys are going to get our tuxes and by the time we get back I want this whole hot mess situation to be gone and the normal slaying yet very annoying November back."

"Okay. Okay Noah. I get it. Sage get your man to lay off." I say as I flick him off.

As the boys leave I hug Noah and Adande and give Zikomo a goodbye kiss. He just has the perfect name. Zikomo Rudo which means thank you love. I send Sage to get her nails done in the spa downstairs. Me and Brooklyn head to the Macy's a couple blocks away.

"So what's up, you excited?" Brooklyn asked.

"The sky with the hidden stars and moon." I reply dreamily.

"Okay... what the flip." She says back at me really confused.

"Can I not be happy for once." I sigh.

"I mean sure, but I have to know what language you are speaking in." she says back.

"The language of love my good friend." I answer with a light tone of voice.

"Sorry, don't speak that. So can I ask you something?" she says hesitantly.

"Shoot."

"Who you really down for? Dandy or Zik?" she asks.

"First of all it is Adande and Zikomo and I don't truly know. They are both great guys." I shyly say back.

"Oh, that's okay. You just need some time to think. And what better way to do that than shopping?" She exclaims as we enter the superstore.

We head towards the shoe section as I mindlessly get distracted by the countless makeup stores.

"Gosh November, you have a lot of makeup already. Can we please leave the makeup section for once in your life?" she laughs.

"There is no such thing as too much makeup and we are already in the shoe section so you can go home." I retort.

" Okay, cool with me." she says sarcastically.

"You see anything you like?" I say while lifting up a pair of ten inch balmain red heels.

"DAMN. LOOK AT THESE!" she yells picking up maroon heels.

"I mean those are cool but I think my choice is cooler." I claim while standing on my toes overpowering her with my height.

"Flipping hell, you are about Dandy's height. How the?"

"Never ask just listen to your wonderful best friend." I say menacingly.

"But Sage is getting her nails done right now hahahah." she says.

"I will pay for these shoes if you get them, best friend." i say.

"If you pay for the shoes... I will buy you a pizza. Deal?"

"Deal." I say shaking her hand.

We start walking out of the megamall Brooklyn dragging me away from the nice makeup lady. We head up Times Square and took a shortcut up 81st to get back to the apartment. While we were walking Brooklyn asks me a question, again.

"What do you know about that Dustin kid?"

"I know he is creep that stalks Sage." i say cringing.

"Anything else?"

"He knows too much information about all of us. Why?" I ask.

"Nothing really, but Zik kept asking Sage to go with Dustin to formal instead of Noah. I don't know, just thought you might know why. Don't think much about it, just forget it."

"Nah, but I can ask him later." I say as we walk inside her penthouse to meet up with Sage.

As soon as we get back, the boys were already there. Like idiots, they were crowded by the foosball table and screaming their heads off. Sage went right to refrigerator, while Brooklyn laid down on the couch and turned on the TV. I went over to the boys and slapped all of them on the back of their heads.

"Shut the hell up all of you and show us what you got." I yell.

The boys went into a separate room and got changed. It took them about 10 minutes until they all came out, and stood side by side.

"J'adore! Tres magnifique!" I say en francais.

"Okay, okayy." said Sage with a mouth full of pudding.

"Looking sharp." Brooklyn says.

I mean as much as I hate admitting it, the boys were killing the game.

"We do look hot don't we fellas hey!" Adande yells as they high five each other.

Damn, he really did look fine. Zikomo looked good too. Ugh they were making this so hard for me. They do it without even trying.

"So why don't you ladies show us what you got?" said Zikomo

"Ummm excuse me? Are ya'll stupid?" said Sage.

"We are going to show you what we look like...tomorrow." Said Brooklyn.

"I see no reason to wait." I flirt winking at the door between Zikomo and Adande.

They both smile and then face each other. Their faces become straight and they look down angry. Shit..what have I done.
