"Girl, what's your favorite perfume that you use? I need something different..."
"Oh! This is my favorite perfume. I wear it on special occasions. This is my Gucci perfume. A little over a hundred dollars. But, it was so worth it. It's my signature scent..."
Porsha grabs the bottle from her friend and sprays the scent all over her body. But, little does she know...the scent last all day long. And this scent could also get her in a lot of trouble.
"Ummm. You know black roses mean death, right?" Asked her friend as she walks into her room
She looks at her and nonchalantly nods her head.
"You have to admit, they're beautiful flowers. That's why I have a lot of them. Plus, it goes with my decor..."
"I'm starting to think you're going through something..."
"Me? Never. Perfume?"
She sprays the perfume onto her friend and places the bottle on her dresser. Then Porsha looks at Brittany and Jasmine.
"What's the plan for tonight?"
"Well, I have a date..."
"And I have to work..."
"You always have a date with some guy. This the hundredth date this month..."
"Well...I'm single. I have to mingle..."
"Mmhmm. Well...I have a pit stop to make. Might as well get my Netflix account back to running since you two are busy. Bye..." Says Porsha as she leaves
"Same. I have to get ready for work. I'll see you later."
She waves and leaves out. Once she hears her front door close, she goes to her closet. She looks around until she sees something she likes.
"Hmmm...."
She continues to look. She isn't going to just throw on anything. She takes her time. She looks for the outfit that catches the eye. Something she'd get noticed in.
She isn't just Plain Jane. She takes and puts time into her look. She wants to make sure she catches the biggest baller in the vicinity she's in.
"Guess I'll go shopping..."
She goes into her secret drawer that she keeps every credit card in. She slowly looks through until a gold card catches her eye.
"Michael Vanderpool. How about you spoil me today..."
She grabs his card and leaves out. But, little does she know...she's being watched.
Across town, Porsha decided to stop by Starbucks. While she was waiting in line, Detective Moore walks in to get his daily coffee.
By accident, she makes eye contact with him. So, she has no choice but to speak.
"Hello"
"Hey, there..." He responded with a slight wave.
He stands behind her and waits along with the other customers.
As he's standing there, he recognizes a familiar scent. One he can't put his finger on. As he standing there inhaling the scent, he realizes it's coming from Porsha.
He taps on her shoulder and she looks at him.
"Yes?"
"That's a lovely scent you have on. If you don't mind, may I ask what you're wearing?"
"Oh, it's Gucci. I got it from my friend. It lasts a long time..."
"Long time as in...?"
"All day long..."
"Mmhmm..."
His phone rings and it's Detective Ross calling. He answers the phone as his hand go in his pocket.
"Talk to me."
Ross tells him some interesting news. It causes a smirk to come across Moore's face.
"Luckily, I'm in the same situation. Meet you in ten."
He hangs up and grabs Porsha's arm.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
"Taking you in for questioning. So, you're coming with me."
Just as everyone else in Starbucks, she was curious as to why she was being taken in for questioning. She has many questions of her own.
She has never been in any situation such as this one. She in such a panic, but trying to maintain it.
Who knew one scent could cause so many issues.
