Mina

I stepped out the Escalade and onto the deep red carpet. My champagne & cream Versace dress glistened in the vivid lights while my  trail slid across the floor. I wore gold strapped Jimmy Choo Stilettos & emerald accessories. My straighten hair moved with so much body.

"Who is that" I heard a couple of people nearby whisper.

"I could've sworn you were a Supermodel, with all the right curves of course!" A photographer yelled

He slowly approached me with his camera around his neck.

"I've never seen you before..." he said sizing me up

"Yeah I'm not one of these celebrities, I was invited by a friend" I said

"Well we wouldn't be able to tell...listen why don't you hop on the red carpet, just right over there and we get some photos of you" the man said pointing

I hesitated for a few moments before proceeding to the banner.

"Just be natural, you're a effortless beauty" he said

The man joined the hundreds of photographers and began snapping. I took a deep breath and just began moving. I slightly tossed my hair and angled my body. I was so nervous but it felt so good. Being acknowledged on this level was thrilling to the point I didn't know exactly what I was doing. I just let it flow.

"Gorgeous!"

"Look this way"

I began to feel slightly overwhelmed and started walking off. I strutted into the huge building, running into large amounts of people. Once I was in the ceremony I looked over and peeped Sayir's table. The area was so crowded that I didn't even have the urge to approach it. I just continued to greet people and network with as many as I can.

My bright smile instantly faded when I turned to see a familiar face that haunted me for the last three days. There he was, a murderer, a cold individual, and in my eyes the devil standing before me. He had to be plotting to finish the unfinished job of silencing me forever.

"Why else would he be here." I thought

My mind concluded that it was best for me to probably move around.

"Mina..." he said a few feet away

I turned Ricardo's direction with fear written all over my face.

"Why that look I come in peace....truly" He said low where no one could hear

"What are you doing here?" I asked loosening up a bit

"I could ask you the same ma...but nah I have some investments tied up into the music shit and this show." He said sipping from his glass of champagne. He eyed me intensively and gazed at my dress.

He was cool as ever & very slick. His tone was relaxing and strong. However seeing the things I saw, it was all I was able to associate him with.

"Sayir hired me off the rip to do her hair" I said

"Get the fuck outta here, you did that?" He asked with laughter.

"Damn it's that surprising" I frowned

"Nah she looks great, you snapped" he said

"Thank you" I replied

"You blew her out the water tho unfortunately sweetheart" he directed his attention back to me

"Now you pushing it" I said with a smirk

"No I'm not, it's the truth. Do me a solid and look around for a minute. You see some of these motherfuckas staring at you?" He said
