STRAWBERRY

Party

(What they wore to the party)
Stephanie took a long shower after she walked away from Puma. As she got out the shower she heard August and Riley arguing. Stephanie heard someone knock on the door while she putting on her night face cream. She opened the door and there was August. She opened the door all the way as he walked into her bathroom. He closed the toilet seat and sat down as she resumed applying her cream. After a few moments August spoke."did you know?" He asked. "No" said Stephanie quickly. "Well me and Riley broke up and she's already getting 2 tickets back to New Orleans." He said.  "I'm sorry to hear that." Said Stephanie. August stood up a kissed Stephanie's shoulder. She moved away. "August today has been s crazy day I just wanna go to sleep." Said Stephanie. August pulled his face away as he walked out of the bathroom. "I'm just moving along pussy to him." She said to herself as she laid in the bed.

On the day of Stephanies party she had tdecide what she was going to wear. She had been staying at an hotel for the last few days.
    August and Riley had moved into their house together. But had been arguing even since the move in. Puma chose a golden dress. As she waited for her makeup stylist someone knocked at the door. She slowly walked to the door without looking through the peep hole she opened the door. "Hey ma." Said august as he walked in. "How'd you get my room number." She asked. "I asked the lady downstairs." He laughed. She smiled and waved. "So today's the big day huh?" He said. She cheesed. "Yup I'm finally finna be 24 today." She said. She did a little dance. "Man I'm happy for you even tho ya boy older than you." He laughed as he popped his collar. "Shut up." She said as she pushed his shoulder. He sat down on the bed and pulled her down with him. They faces were close to each other as she stared at him. "I missed you." He said. Stephanie put her head down. After a moment she said. "August you have a girlfriend and I won't let you cheat on her with me." Said Stephanie as she stood up. "Ion want her man I'll have her packed and back to New Orleans whenever you want me to." Said August. Stephanie looked at him. Before she could talk someone knocked at the door. She got up and looked through the peep hole. It was her stylist. "Um August you got to go but I'll see you at the party." She said. August silently walked out of the room as the stylist came in.
6:00 pm.
Stephanie got into her rented limo and went to pick up her friend Daya she was supposed to pick up Puma but she didn't want to see her still. As they pulled into the venue people stood outside with cameras and the paparazzi were there too. "I'm not even famous." She laughed as she got out of the car. As she modeled down the red carpet she got she saw August smiling at her in the crowd. She waved at him. As she walked towards the entrance she saw Derrick waiting for her. She wrapped her arm around his and walked into the building. August noticed and quickly walked in behind them as Riley and Reyna followed him.
Stephanie walked up to v.i.p with Derrick and sat down. August walked up too but a security guard stopped him. "Oh no it's okay Robert let HIM in." She said as she looked at Riley who started walking away. August stood above Stephanie and cleared his threat. "Oh in August this is Derrick and Derrick this is August." She said as she introduced the two. They shook hands. "So this is your boyfriend?" Asked august. Both Derrick and Stephanie laughed. "No he's just my date for tonight." He said. "Well I heard all about you mr.derrick." He said. "What are you talking about?" Said Stephanie. Before August could speak Derrick stopped him. "I want to tell her man not right now it's her birthday party have some respect." Said Derrick as he stood up. "You do that then." Said as he walked away from them. "What was that all about?" Asked Stephanie. "I'll tell you later but for now let me go grab you some drinks." He said as he fastly walked away. Stephanie crunched up her face. She heard someone yelling at the security guard. "Let me in that's my best friend." She yelled. Stephanie and Puma made eye contact. "Aye let em in unless I say not to please." She said to her security guard. "Yes ma'am." He said as he pulled the rope back. "Bitch." Said Puma as she walked into the section. "Hey girl I ain't seen you in a while." Said Puma. Stephanie rolled her eyes. "Look I'm not here to make you mad on your birthday I just wanted to let you know I'm really sorry about what I do." Said Puma. "Your always sorry Puma come on now don't ruin my birthday with ya bullcrap." Said Puma as she flicked her finger at Puma. "Look I'm going to Rehab in a few days and I wanted to let you know." Said Puma. "Good." Said Stephanie as she nodded her head to the music. Puma looked Stephanie up and down then she walked away. "I took yo broke ass in." Said Puma as she walked off. Stephanie followed after but her security guard stopped her. "Don't let her ruin your birthday." He said. Stephanie stopped and smiled at him. "Thanks Robert but can you make sure she doesn't come back in here." Asked Stephanie. He nodded his head. Stephanie walked out into the open and looked around for ACE. As she walked by the stage she saw Paisley. "Hey baby." She said as hugged her. "Hey Stephanie." Said paisley as she kissed her cheek. "Ahhhh the most beautiful." Said ACE as he hugged her. "Hey ace thanks for coming." She said. "Wouldn't miss it for the world." He said as he smiled. Just then Derrick popped up with two glasses. "Hey baby I been looking for you all over." He said as he kissed her. ACE looked at derric confused. "Oh Derrick this is ACE and ACE this is Derrick." She said. Derrick stuck his hand out. ACE looked him up up and down. "Aye man I know you from somewhere." Said Ace as he scanned Derrick. "Nah man i don't think I know you." Said derrick. "Um there's stuff for the kids over there and all the adults are dancing to the music getting wasted." Laughed Stephanie as she watched paisley run off. She walked away from them then she bumped into Ruth. "Heyyy lil lady." Said Ruth. "Hey miss Ruth." Said Stephanie as they hugged. " you look wonderful tonight honey." She said as she scanned Stephanie. "You also." Said Stephanie
8:30 pm.
After hours of dancing and trying to avoid being caught up with ACE, August, and Derrick It was time to open presents. Stephanie sat in s throne like chair and grabbed a mic. "I wanna thank all of you for coming to my party to help me celebrate my 24th birthday. And I hope everyone is having a good time. But now it's time to open up these presents." Said Stephanie. Everyone clapped. She grabbed the first gift. "From Ken." She said as she pointed at him. She opened it. "Wow lingerie." She laughed. "Uses it too boo." He said. Everyone laughed. Next was from Riley and Reyna. "Thanks for the vase... ill put it in my apartment." She said awkwardly. There were a few claps. Next was Puma. "A collage of all our pictures." Said Stephanie. She looked at Puma who just smiled. Stephanie got down and hugged Puma then walked back up. Next was August. "Well damn $600 thanks for real man." She said. "Lil chump change." He said. Everyone laughed. Next was Ruth. "A Gucci purse you know what Ruth I'm finna be flashing this." She said. Ruth smiled and waved her hand. Next Ace. "It's just a card saying go outside. As Stephanie walked out side she saw a New Purple Maserati in the front of the venue .

"OMG ACE!" said Puma as she jumped on him. "It's the least I could do." He said as he wrapped his arms around her. August snapped his hands. "Fuckin show off." He whispered. "But wait I have something better." Said Derrick. "What can possibly be better than this?" Asked ACE. Derrick led everyone back inside. "When did they close that curtain?" Asked Stephanie. Derrick grabbed her hand and led her to the front of the crowd. "Go ahead DRAKE." He said. As the curtain opened Drake appeared on the stage and started to sing to Stephanie. "OMGGGGG!!!!!" Yelled Stephanie as she started telling his song. Derrick told her to go onto the stage. She obeyed his words and fastly walked up the stairs. As Drake sang to Stephanie she slowly fell in love with him even more. As the show finished Drake took Stephanie back stage. "So did you like the show?" He asked. "OFCOURSE. I'm basically in love with you." Said Stephanie. "Ion see nothing wrong with that." He said. Stephanie blushed as he grabbed her hand. "Can I have your number?" Asked Drake. Stephanie's mouth dropped. She fastly put her number in his phone. "I'll text you tomorrow but now I gotta go." He said. He kissed her hand as he walked out the back stage. Stephanie jumped up and down in joy as she danced in a circle.
