"Tell me everything," I said as I sat beside Kelly by her holographic meeting table.

She let out a dreamy sigh as I logged us into our company's information system.

"Where do I even begin?" she blushed.

"How about after you two left the party?" I teased.

"Well, I took her all around Time Square. Believe it or not, her and I didn't eat much of anything at the party, so I decided to take her to Planet Hollywood."

I looked at her like she was crazy.

"Of all places in this part of the city...you took her there?"

"She said she's always wanted to eat there," Kelly laughed. "Anyway, we had a good time just talking and laughing. She's a true southern belle, Bey. She actually kind of reminds me of mama."

I couldn't help but smile at the lovestruck look in Kelly's eyes.

"Then it looks like you struck gold," I said.

"I really did. She has the most adorable laugh, super sweet, and we can literally talk to each other about any little thing."

"Is that all you did with her last night?" I asked, wanting to get down to the nitty-gritty.

Kelly laughed as she brought up our stats.

"Of course not."

"Soooooo.....how was it?"

"....perfect...." she sighed as she sank in her chair.

"Alright sis," I giggled, "I see you. How many rounds?"

"At least four. That girl got more stamina than the energizer bunny. Which actually makes sense since she's a former gymnast."

"You say that so casually."

"Well I mean, she's a walking goddess so it doesn't surprise me."

I laughed as I looked from her to the hologram.

"So where's she at now? I figured I'd run into her when King dropped me off back home this morning."

"Well she wanted to come with me to work. And she fell in love with everything for the first hour she was here. But once her and Chloe met, it was a wrap."

I laughed as we continued to look through our stats.

"You should've known that was gonna happen. Chloe gets along with everybody. Are they together now?"

"Yup," Kelly giggled. "Last time I texted her, she said Chloe took her out for lunch. I just gave Chloe the rest of the day off so she could show Normani around the city some more while I tackle some work."

"Awww, a great boss and girlfriend."

She snickered before we finally put all our attention to the files before us. All of our specialties were doing amazing. There were only two that still needed time; our newest additions, Chloe and Halle.

"I see the twins are still a little behind," I said as I clicked on their joint file. "Is there something we're missing?"

"Not that I know of," Kelly responded as she pulled up their individual files and displayed them side by side. "They're exceeding in their studies. And they're thriving in socialization. It appears that their specialty development is falling behind the average rate, though. I've talked to their professor, and he says they do the best they can. His theory is maybe they have more book smarts than street like our other specialties."
