A Divine Lust {Stud×Fem}

vii. invitation

tahiri

It's been one week since the situation at the beach. Logan and I were cool, she texted me the entire week to make sure I was ok. It was benevolent. I was over the occurrence, but that woman still blurted too much unwanted information.

The three drafts were done and sold, two were small, one was massive. The clients loved how the art resonated with them, the colors were luminous.

I was in the studio showcasing artwork to three new customers. The clients were satisfied with what was shown and at the end, two sales were made.

The third client said he'd return, but that could've been a lie. It didn't matter either, two of three sales were sufficient to me. I knew I couldn't win them all.

Selina walked in with items in her hand, she and Jaime were in this afternoon with me.

"You have mail." Selina stated, ambling to me.

I looked at her.

"It's ornate, too." Selina added, handing me the mail. I retrieved a writing card from within. "Oh, it is, thanks."

Selina nodded.

The card was white and decorated with colorful embroideries.

"Dear Tahiri, this is an invitation to Alicia Carter's babe shower. The shower will be held on the tenth of June on a boat. Boarding will occur at the harbor marina from eleven a.m. Plus one's are welcome and so are bestowments. Sincerely, Alicia Carter."

Oh, shit, she's with child?

I made a call, the call was answered. Dante, the best friend, was on the other end.

"Girl." Dante said.

"Girl." I elaborated.

He understood.

Dante cackled. "You received it too, huh?"

"I didn't even know, she hid that shit well."

"The bitch is acting like an internet star." Dante stated. "You're attending?"

"Of course." I answered. "It's on a boat, a boat, Dante. A free celebration on a boat."

"Alicia loves to flaunt her wealth."

"I would to if I were her." I said. "The woman battled for her success, now she's number one."

Alicia worked as an executive assistant, she started as a clerk and clawed to success.

"It's true, I love that for her." Dante said.

Dante and I have been best friends since high school, we've encountered thick and thin, and we're still here.

He and I met Alicia at a cocktail event.

Now, we're all friends, but we don't see her much and it's clear. A bun's in her damn oven.
