Picture Perfect

chapter twelve

Kai'lani I. Perez

Two months have gone by, it'll also been two months since I've broken it off with Chris. We never got to see each other after I moved back to my house simply because he was raising Royalty and going to the studio so I ended it because it was hurting me. Him and Karrueche are actually a couple now and I'm happy for them. She came and asked if it was okay to date him and that made me respect her more as a friend.

I've just focusing on my job and newfound friendships. One friendship that I was really fond was with Heather Sanders, the owner of a online boutique named Sorella. We met through Ty and I've been friends ever since. I had quit my job at XXL and began working with her as an executive business partner and photographer. We had been searching around for empty building and we found it and it was in the process of being worked on. I heard my phone ring. I grabbed my phone and answered it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Kai, it's Karrueche."

"Hey Karrueche, I haven't heard from you in a while."

"I've been crazy busy. I was wondering if you do a shoot for my best friend, Christina?" She inquired.

"Of course I can when I get free time, I've been kind of busy with Heather with the boutique."

"I will tell her that and I would also like to invite you to Chris and I's Halloween party. Can you make it?"

"Of course I can." I told her.

"Okay it's this Saturday and starts at eight. You can bring a guest if you would like." She offered.

"Okay, well I'll see you on Saturday." I told her before hanging up. I laid my head back and sighed. I need to find a date by Saturday so I won't be seen alone. The perfect guy popped into my mind. I grabbed my phone and went to my contact. I scrolled through them till' I had got to Y. I clicked on the number and placed the phone to my ear. It rang a couple of times before he finally picked up.

"Wassup?"

"Hey yungin'. What are you doing this weekend?" I inquired.

"Not a damn thing, wassup?" He inquired.

"I'm going to Chris and Karrueche's halloween party and she told I could bring someone so I decided to call up my favorite New Orleans native and see if he wanted to see if he wanted to go."

"I'll go with ya' since I was invited also. What are you going to wear?"

"I don't even know, do you know what you're wearing?" I inquired.

"Hell I don't know either, we'll have to discuss this on Facetime later."

"Will do flav. I'll see you later."

"See ya' later."

I ended the call and sat my laptop on the couch. I walked upstairs to my bedroom and looked around my closet. What in the world was I going to wear to this Halloween party?

Christopher M. Brown

These past two months have been hectic. I've been taking care of Royalty, dealing with losing and gaining a girlfriend and also with my career. It was Nia's two weeks to keep Royalty so I had a little bit of a break but Karrueche insisted on having this Halloween party knowing how tired I was but I agreed to it because I wanted her to be happy. The door opened and she walked through with bags in her hand.

"Hey babe." She greeted with a kiss on my cheek.

"Hey baby, what's in the bags?" I inquired. She sat down on the couch beside me and opened the bag.

"It's our costumes. Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson." She smiled. I smiled and watched her take out our costumes. No one knew what our costume was. We wanted it to be a surprise.

"They look fly babe, do you have the wigs?" I inquired.

"Of course baby, I'm so ready. Kai's coming." She told me. I felt my heartbeat rise and my palms get sweaty. It's been two months since I seen her and I still had feelings for her. Kae didn't know that and I planned to keep it like that.

"That's cool, how's the party planning going?" I inquired, changing the subject.

"Great everything is set and ready for Saturday." She cheered. I smiled.

"I'm glad. I can't wait to party with my bros and see who wins the contest." I told her. We were holding a contest for the best dressed. There were five chances for people to win but the top three win money. This party was just about to be a blast and I'm really hoping to just get a chance to talk to Kai.
