Into The Rabbit Hole And All It's Sinful Delights

Happy New Years

  Mel was tickled pink I made it home three days before New Year's Eve. She got an invitation to a very exclusive party from Mr. Boone and was dreading going alone, but since I made it back in perfect time, I was her new plus one.

  I admit, I felt a little weird going to a party given by Mel's Don at the club. I didn't think the members were allowed to see our face, so there was no way we could socialize outside the club. It made me wonder how close Mel was to this Mr. Boone.

  One New Years Eve day, Mel insisted we start getting ready at noon. The party was late to start at nine, but Mel insisted we needed every minute to make tonight a success.

  Mel dressed me in a beautiful royal blue gown. The blue silk underlay of the dress fit like a second skin with spaghetti straps stopping at the very top of my thighs.

  The lace covering was black and see-through with delicate designs placed along the bodice. It had long wide sleeves with a train flowing on the floor. With a slit up each side ending at the top of the slip underneath. Blue stilettos with black roses designed in the print completed the look.

  Mel added curls around my face with my hair then let the rest fall in one long wave. She kept my makeup to a minimum. Just a little eyeliner, mascara, and a blood red lipstick.

  When she finally let me see the finished look I was truly amazed. The hair and dress made me look like a movie star from the '30s. Mel didn't disappoint coming out a little later looking like a Jean Harlow impersonator.

  We left the apartment around 8:30 p.m. and caught a cab. Mel gave the man an address, but all I could make out was Trump Towers.

  Traffic was a nightmare. Worse than normal trying to make it close to the heart of New York City. We were about two blocks from the building when we decided to walk.

  The cab ride was already 45 minutes long. It would probably take us another 20 minutes to get the last two blocks.

  We split the fare then joined the crowded streets. Mel and I were walking arm in arm laughing and joking with the festive people around us. We almost walked by the front of the building talking to a group of guys wanting us to go with them.

  Mel and I finally made it into the lobby of the building alone. I gave it a quick look before following Mel to the elevators. The set she was in front of said 'Upper Floor Only'. When the elevator opened we stepped inside then Mel hit the floor and my stomach sank.

  I'd never been that high in a building before, and frankly, it scared the life out of me to go up so high! I stepped closer to Mel and grabbed her hand for strength as the elevator took us to the Penthouse Floor.

  When the doors opened we heard music and people behind the door. Two men in suits were standing at the front checking invitations.

  Mel handed hers to the guy holding the clipboard. He checked it over then looked at his list before giving Mel a crooked smirk.

  "Ah, Ms. Blu and her guest Ms. Black. Mr. Boone's been expecting you." I could tell the prick was laughing at our names thinking they must have been made up for the night. If only he knew!

  Mel started pulling my arm towards the door, not paying any mind to the goons at the door. She didn't miss a step as she called out. "I'll find him when I'm ready!" Then walked through the door like she owned the place.
