Get Up 10

Chapter 15 - Departure

Saturday Night
Ambrosine

Social media definitely makes people think that just because they follow you, y'all know each other. It's weird to me. Nothing seems authentic anymore. Everyone just want to see like they know everybody.

Some dude that's opening a restaurant and lounge hit Chasity up to attend the grand opening and insisted she bring her friends. I mean it was cool and all but he was calling her "sis" and they're complete stranger. She agreed she'd go but only for a paid promotion on her story.  Chasity always been about her bag. It's a new lounge out in Harlem.  From the  pictures
and videos that's been posted, it looks nice. He gave us a table for up to 5 guests but it's just us two. James may possibly show up but I won't be mad if he doesn't. We don't keep too many people close. We definitely need more friends to party with but less is more I guess. More people equaled potential drama about splitting a bill or not in my opinion. I'm good.

" What should I wear? I wanna look cute without doing the most" I said as Chasity entered the room dressed already.

" I don't know girl. Anything you wear will be cute!"

" I don't know if I feel like being Beyoncé tonight ugh." I joked.

" Wear a bodysuit or something " She added.

" You know what? That's not a bad idea.I got a cute one and these nice jeans."

" The dress is cute though! Wear whatever you want honestly." She examined my current outfit.

" Bodysuit and jeans is safe. It might not be this type of party. I don't wanna out dress everyone I'll give them a break tonight." I joked.

" This girl." She laughed.

I got dressed, switched my bag a million times until it felt right and was ready to head out the door.

" We look good bitch!" Chasity got all excited once we got in the car.

" Let me text James." I said

" Yeah you do that."

" Damn that was fast." I said reading his response.

" What happened?"

"He responded quickly that something just came up and he can't make it. But to enjoy our meals on him."

" Shiiiit will do!" Chasity laughed.

" He sent 300. Men are so easy." I laughed

" I like James let me hurry so I can get good parking." She began to rush.

"Chile get us here safely. Jesus lead the way amen..." I had to double check that my seatbelt was actually on. I don't play that race car mess.

" Girl we alright. Move out my way damn!" Chasity yelled out to a passing driver.

We ended up taking an hour to get there and then 20 minutes to find parking. The music could be heard from blocks away. The place was cute and packed. Guess food made people show up for sure. It was around 10pm and I was shocked to see black folks actually there early. In NYC early means 12am.

It was a cute little spot called Fusion in Harlem. I seem some familiar faces from social media and was greeted by a few dude upon entering with Chasity.

I had a feeling the whole hood would be in here. I peeped Joyce also showed up. She don't ever miss an event.  I'm glad she didn't see us.

I stayed off to the side at a table with Chasity for more privacy. Niche got a lot of unfinished business so I stayed out people face for my own safety.
