Chapter Nine - Gold and Black
I plopped down on the bed in my New York apartment, slightly exhausted from the flight here. "Keller?" Marnee's voice spoke from my slightly ajar door.
"Yeah?" Marnee pushed open the door the rest of the way and leaned against the threshold.
"What are we going to do today? It's still 1:30 in the afternoon."
I thought about it. And my curved into a huge grin--which Marnee looked at suspiciously. "There is an ah-mazing mall about 20 minutes away from here. It's huge, and I just got a new paycheck deposited in the bank last night. We are going to buy ourselves some new outfits, and something sexy for tonight at the club."
She grinned along with me. "Alright. Let's go shopping. But what club are we going to?"
"We're going to the 21 Club, it's a pretty popular club with celebrities."
"Ooh, that sounds exciting...So you're saying I have a chance to meet Orlando Bloom or Jay-Z?"
I laughed. "Yeah, you might."
Her eyes widened and she grinned a creeper-ish grin. "Ohmigawd! YAY! Lemme get ready!" She then book it down the hall towards hte guest room where her clothes were.
Laughing to myself at her silliness, I made my way to my bathroom and hopped into the shower. Wrapped in a fluffy towel, I walked into my ajoining bedroom and turned the T.V on to MuchMusic channel. Turning the volume up real loud, I plunged myself into my walk-in-closet. Which in reality could be a decent sized bedroom.
I pulled on some skinny flare high-waisted jeans and a coral tee baggy tee with a white beaded collar. I tucked in my shirt and stepped into my burnt orange high heeled clogs. Scrunching up my hair with some mousse and applying mascara and red-ish orange lipstick, I smiled at myself in the mirror. Welcome to the 70s look, completed. I thought to myself.
I grabbed the keys to my porshe and stuffed all my nessicities into my orange tote bag. I placed a woven straw sun hat with a big orange and pink flower on the right side onto my head. "Marns! Let's go!" I yelled at her.
"I'm already ready." She said from the front door area. I walked over to notice that she was ready. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a purple racer back tank with the words 'Be-you-ti-ful' in big, bold, and black letters.
We got into the car and drove to the mall.

After shopping, Marnee and I headed back to my apartment and relaxed my doing facials, nails, makeup and hair, all while listening to the best artists on this Earth.
"We're building up!
To break it back down!
We're building it up!
To burn it down, we can't wait, to burn it to the ground!" We sang the last lyrics of the song, Burn It Down by Linken Park. The song shuffled through songs from different artists like Of Monsters and Men, All Time Low, Coldplay, Mika, Taylor Matthews, Joe Brooks, P!nk, and Three Days Grace.
I pulled out the seven dresses, various accessories, and thousands pairs of shoes ranging from flats, to booties, to towering stilettos. I layed it all on my California king bed along side Marni\s new purchases.
Marni was currently in my walk-in-closet picking her top ten favorite shoes. Marni came out the threshold with he arms piled high with various different shoes as well as her own.
She dumped them in a pile at the end of the bed with my pile. She looked over at my dresses and gasped. I followed her eyesight to see her staring wistfully at a designer dress. It was black on the top with arrangable colored tiers in lime, orange, and pink on the bottom. It was one of my faves.
I picked it up and threw it at her, which she instinctively caught. "Wear it. I'm wearing one a got in the mail a few days ago."
She squealed and gave me a quick hug before muttering to herself about looking fab for the club. I rolled my eyes and turned my attention to my new dress. It was black, a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps. The line above my breast were adorned with golden studs. The skirt was lace and cut to a high low fashion that started at my belly button. I pair the gorgeous dress with some gold and sparkly pumps.I put my hair in a mess but classy twist and added some golden butterflies.
I put on some golden bangles and golden teardrop earrings. Putting some sparkly eyeshadow that was the same color as my shoes on, eyeliner, and mascara, I was almost set. I applied some siren red lipstick to make my plump lips stand out even more.
I smiled at myself and grabbed my new Chanel clutch purse. I puckered my lips and blew a kiss at my reflection. I was killer, and I knew it.
"Marnee, babe?" I called down.
"Yeah?" Came the muffled reply.
"You ready?"
Squeal. "YES!" She came running out in the dress, a pair of white mesh booties, cherry earrings, and hair straight.
Grabbing the keys to my red Ferrari f430 Spyder, we headed to the club. Time to have some fun.
