Taking Out A Player

Chapter 18

Gina POV:

Lassie was saying goodbye to all of us.

"Oh before you leave, my daddy is having his engagement party. I want all of y'all to come with me," I said.

They all looked at me confused. "Fr?" they all said.

I nodded. I grab the invitations from my purse and handed them out to everyone. Well, they were rarely normal paper invitations. They were all black boxes with white and blue flower trims. They all open the boxes. At the flap was the words:

Join us in our masquerade engagement party

At the Golden Hotel on August 15

For the union of

Stella Brown and Robby B. Grey

Inside was a black and white mask. Underneath it was a golden card to a room in a hotel for five nights.

"Damn. This shit is fancy," Mariah said.

They nodded in agreement. It's normal that daddy go big on the party. He says that he wouldn't give his fiancée less than what she deserve. Ugh.

"Well, I really gotta go. Bye," Lassie said.

Everyone had said bye to her as she left out. Everyone kept looking at the invitee.

"We will be staying there for about two weeks," I said.

Bre frown. "But it's only five nights," she said.

I nodded. "Yea, but daddy want me and Chase to be there early to help out with some stuff. I don't want to be there by myself bored."

"Who Chase?" Tori asked.

"My older brother," I said.

Mariah jump forward and cross her legs. "How old girl?" she asked.

"He's 25."

"Ooo. I'm not far behind," she said.

I rolled my eyes. When these girls see him, they gonna fall. I'm glad they didn't know about him in the first place cos I know they just hang out with me; not for my brother. Well, more like they hang out with me cos I'm in the Jack situation like them. That remind me. I have to ask dad about Jack's car whenever I see him.

"Ok," Bre said. "I guess I'll go. Tori and Copper, you two come with me." Carter gave her a death glare. Bre gave an innocent smile. "Sorry. Habit."

I looked over at Tori. She looked worried. I don't know why. Maybe she just nervous about the party.

"Hold on. I don't have nunone to wear," Mariah said.

"I swear," Bre said. She looked at Carter. "Carter?" She smiled.

"No. You're not spending my money," he said as he shook his head.

"What?! After all we been through," she whined.

"Yup." He got up and left out the room.

Bre shook her head. "I was just gonna ask him to buy me a suitcase. I don't have one."

I gasp. "Yay!!" I got up jumping.

They all looked at me crazy.

"What the hell wrong with you?" Mariah asked.

"I always wanted to shop for a friend," I said.

"Don't you have plenty of friends," Mariah said.
