I looked at the outfit choices I had for my performance and tried to listen to what Ian was telling me at the same time. I was nervous because this was my first award show performance and I had to come crazy.

"You hear me nigga?" Ian asked.

"Yeah yeah I gotchu." I said looking at the first outfit.

"I trust you with my sister and she trusts you. Don't let her drink nothing tonight either. I'll see y'all at the after party." He said.

"Fasho." I dapped him up.

"I'm proud of you slime." Ian hugged me.

"All thanks to you blood." I smiled.

He walked out and I started getting dressed. I put on all my chains and sprayed some cologne on me as I looked in the mirror.

I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my phone and my bag walking to Aaliyah's room. I knocked on the door and Raven let me in giving me this look.

"You might wanna talk to her." She whispered and I nodded.

I walked in and seen her getting her nails, hair, and makeup done all at once. I walked over and seen her outfits laid out and I smiled.

"Okay you're all done sweetie." The makeup artist said.

She opened her eyes and looked in the mirror giving a smile of approval.

"Beautiful." I said making her look towards me.

"Hey, you look good." She smiled.

"You too." I winked at her.

Everybody started finishing up on her and started adding last minute touch ups.

"Aye can y'all give us a minute?" I asked.

Everybody nodded and made their way to the other part of the room. I closed the door and sat my stuff down and took a seat on the bed.

"Wassup witchu?" I asked.

"I'm just nervous and I feel like I got a little ahead of myself. Jordan what if I don't fit in?" She said pacing the room.

"Aye c'mere man.." I pulled her down in my lap.

She sighed looking down messing with the strings on her robe.

"Look at me." I said not wanting to touch her face messing up her makeup.

"I hired all these people to make you look like the baddest girl at the awards. You my date and I asked you because you the only girl I'm tryna be seen with. Fuck anybody that got something to say 'cause they don't put money in our pocket and they ain't us." I held her hands.

"Okay." She said sniffling.

"Nah don't start crying you look to good to be messing up your face." I grabbed a tissue dabbing her face.

"You're so sweet to me Jordan." She smiled hugging me.

"Liyah you need to start getting dressed or y'all going to be late to the carpet." Raven popped in the room.

Aaliyah nodded and got up looking over her outfits.

"Which one you wearing?" I threw my arm around her.

She pointed to this glittery black dress that had thin straps, a cowl neck, it stopped mid thigh and had a slit up the thigh. The back was cut out and you could see her back tattoo. She chose white Louboutin heels, and a Prada clutch.

As she got dressed I pulled out this jewelry box from my bag. I pulled the necklace out from it and approached her from behind.

"Add this with it." I smiled putting this diamond cuban link chocker on her neck.
