*Essence P.O.V

Shakey and I headed to my house so after we chilled with our homies to get ready for our little chill time with just us two. We decided on a movie and dinner I got to pick the movie and he picked the restaurant he wont tell me were we going but he says its somewere causal nothing too fancy so dress casual. We pulled up to my house I know my pops not home because he is out of town on business but its a pink Aston Martin in the driveway. I looked over at Shakey like who the fuck is this with my factual expression he just shrugged.

I walked up to the car nobody was in the car so I walked up to the house and unlocked the door I walked into the house and there was a note on the TV from my pops telling me to call hime when I get this note. I took out my phone and called him.

"wussup babyguhh" my dad said with a little bit of his Jamaican accent.

"Nothing but there is a pink Aston Martin in the driveway Who's is it?"I asked

"Its yours babygirl but the reason I got it got you is because I got some new ms to tell you and I know you not going to be to happy with me" He said

"mhm what is it?"I asked.

"Well babygirl you know that yearly trip we take every year around this time im gonna have to cancel You, Danielle, Faith, And who ever ealse you wonna take can go on the cruise and it will be fully paid I got business to handle and im so sorry babygirl" He said

"Man daddy this cruise means alot to me this is the only time I can really spend time with you and chill with you I wish mom was still here." I said on the edge of crying.

"Babygirl im sorry and I promise I will make it up im really sorry love please dont cry in can hear it in your voice" He said.

"Ok pops I love you" I said lowly

"Love you to babygirl and how many of yall you think going on the cruise." He asked

"6" I said simply

"Ok yall will be leaving a 3 days after yall graduate. He said

"Ok" I said hanging up

Shakey must have seen the look on my face cause he pulled me into a hug and kissed me on my head and told me everything is gonna work out for the best I nodded. I just hate the fact that he puts his business before me then think he can just buy me shit to make up for it nahh it dont work like that. but I told Shakey he can head home and get ready ill be fine. He kissed my forehead and walked out the house and tells me he will he here to pick me up at 8:30 I nodded.

Its 6:45 I have enough time to get ready. I walked into my closet to look for something nice but causal to wear. I got so many clothes in this closet most of them still has taggs on them. I have no idea what I wanna wear I searches my closet for 10 mins and came across a Red & Black button down high low sheere shirt, Black tights, Black rib tank, and my Black, red, and white Jordan's. I layed my stuff across my bad grabbed my clothes phone and speaker and headed to the bathroom hookedy phone up to my speaker put on my Pretty Ricky playlist and take a shower.

I took a 30 min shower got out grabbed my stuff I took in the bathroom with the towel rapped around me I walked into the fresh air on my room. I finished drying off I put on some cotton candy lotion then put on my shoes and clothes. I went in the bathroom took my hair out the messy bun I had it in when I showered. I plugged in my flat iorn and my curling iorn I started to straighten my hair then I curled it with big loose curls. I did my make-up I only wore a little eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lipgloss. I didn't get to dressed up he told me not to he just said we going somewere nice but casual he wont tell me were to yet. He got to pick were we ate and I picked the movie the movie I picked was Tyler Perry: No Good Deed from what the previews look like good ass movie. I looked at the time it was 7:45 so I just plopped down on the couch and watch T.V til it was tome to go.
