Me and Nikki were talking on the phone nonstop while I was in New York. He invited me to the Girls Girls Girls listening party that the band would be having at the Body Shop. Of course, I let him know if I was going to come then I would have to come with Jess. He said she needed a boyfriend; I agreed.

Me and Jess arrived back in LA at her place. We started getting dressed to meet at the club. I wanted to look extremely classy and sexy at the same time. Apparently, there were going to be a lot of girls there, and well... I want to stand out.

"Ok, so I was thinking of wearing this long dress how does this look?" I say walking out and showing Jess my dress.

"Uh, that looks more like an evening gown. Something that you would wear to a dinner party you know."

"Ok let me change into this other dress I have." I walked back to the room and started pulling out some of the clothes I bought from New York.

"Hey sweety why don't you wear that blue body suit you bought in New York?" Jess yelled from the living room.

"Ok, sure." I pulled out the body suit and put it on. It was beautiful, it was elegant, it was sexy, yet classy. I walked back out and showed Jess the body suit.

"That looks so gorgeous girl. I'm sure no one is going to look as classy as you." She smiled.

"Well, I'm dressing to impress. But I feel like I want to straighten my hair. I think it being curly will look too big." I walked back to the room and pulled my hot iron out. Jess came in to help me straighten it.

"So you and Nikki are back together?" She asked looking at me through the mirror.

"Uh no... I mean...he wants us to but I'm not sure. He has two sides to him and it scares me."

"What do you mean?"

"Well before we left, he told me that some days he's Nikki, and then some days he's Sikki," I said in confusion.

"Iman it's the drugs."

"No Jess he's getting clean-"

"Sweety you have got to open your eyes."

"They are open... I read his diary and he went down to some clinic on a 30-day program to get clean." I argued.

"You read his diary?" She laughed humorously.

"I didn't mean to snoop, but it was lying in his room. He's getting clean and honestly, I believe him. I truly do."

She sighed and bit the side of her cheek. "I don't want to medal in your business and tell you how to live your life 'cause that's your job and your mom's. But I just think Nikki has way too many problems and baggage Iman, and I feel like you should slow things down with him. You are still young, so to take on a guy with drug problems is a big responsibility. Not to mention your mom will not support you dating Nikki."
