NiaJean is standing in the mirror examining herself
and what she is wearing. There are
clothes all over her bed that didn’t make the cut for the evening’s “night out”
wardrobe and she’s still not sure if she’s satisfied with her wardrobe
choice. She is getting ready to go out
to a club to see her sister Deja perform.
NiaJean’s phone rings and she picks it up. The voice on the other end starts talking
before she even gets a chance to say hello.
“Are we ever going to talk about the other night or are we done with it?” The familiar voice is Eric on the line as he
questions her about their recent sleepover encounter. “We’re done with it, nothing happen.” She nonchalantly replies then follows with a
question. “Are you coming tonight?” “I’ll be there solo.” He replies.
“Why? I thought you were bringing
someone. What about the woman you were
having breakfast with this morning?” She
asks with a slight tone of curiosity in her voice. “She was a client.” He replies with a slight bit of
disappointment that she would suggest her.
“Looked like more than that to me.
Anyway, well then bring one of your ratchets but not too ratchet.” She replies as she cringes at the
suggestion. He smirks then answers, “I’ll
see you later on.” They hang up the
phone without saying goodbye.
Her phone rings again and it’s Yvette from her
office so she answers. “Hey girl, what
are you wearing?” Yvette asks. “A dress but I might change.” She answers.
“Cool, I’m getting there early so I can get a cutie pie to buy me some
drinks.” She says. NiaJean laughs and replies; “Ok.” “Chow!”
Yvette says and hangs up the phone.
NiaJean’s phone rings again. “Hello.”
She answers. “I don’t have
anything to wear. I’m not going.” Brooke says with a sound of panic in her
voice. “What? You have more clothes than most people will
ever have in a lifetime! Find something
and come on! Bye!” NiaJean hangs up the phone before Brooke has
a chance to reply.
NiaJean’s phone rings for the fourth time and she
answer’s before looking at it.
“What? Get
dressed and meet me there!” NiaJean yells
into the phone and gets ready to hang up without realizing it’s not Brooke on
the other end. “Hello?” He says in a low but seductive tone. Her heart drops as she recognized the voice
on the other end. She takes a deep
breath and slowly sits on the edge of her bed. “Jason, right now is not a good time.” She says with a slight edge in her tone. “You’re too busy to talk to me?” He asks.
“I’m getting ready to go to Deja’s show.” She answers.
“Oh she’s performing tonight?
Where?” He asks. “At a club where I don’t need to see your
face.” She tensely answers. “Wow, it’s like that?” He asks.
“Look I’ve got to go.” She says
as she tries to rush off the phone. “Can
we talk tomorrow? I really need to share
somethings with you.” He asks. Her phone is buzzing indicating that there is
a call on the other line and this time it’s Brian which makes her anxious and
nervous at the same time. “Really I have
to go.” She says as she begins to hurriedly
hang up the phone. “I’ll stop by
tomorrow ok.” He says. In her haste to get off the phone she answers
Jason. “Ok!” Then she quickly switches to answer the other
line.
“Hey you, are you on your way?” She asks in a sexy tone. “Yeah, I’ll be there in a minute.” He answers.
“Ok, I’ll be waiting.” She
replies with a sexy smile on her face. A
few minutes later she see Brian arrive so she grabs her purse and rushes out
the door. On their way to the club she
gets a text from Jason. “I’m looking forward to seeing you
tomorrow.” She reads the text
but doesn’t answer.
When they arrive at the club Deja is standing out
front smiling. “Hey fam, I’m glad you’re
here!” She hugs her sits and shakes
Brian’s hand. “When do you go on?” NiaJean asks.
“In about an hour.” She
answers. “Cool, we’ll be upfront.” She says.
“There’s a couple of tables reserved for my people so you’re good.” Deja replies as she lights a joint.
NiaJean hugs her sister once again then she and
Brian head inside. Deja stands outside
for a few more minutes taking in the night air and finishing her joint. A cute Caucasian girl walks up and smiles at
her. The girl looks familiar but Deja
can’t remember where she’s seen her. “Hello.” Deja says in a charming tone. “Solaar right?” The girl asks. “That’s me, do I know you?” She asks.
“We’ve met before.” The girl says
with a sexy smile. “How could I forget
that face?” Deja says in a flirty
tone. “You shouldn’t have.” The girl says as she begins walking away
while smiling. Deja follows her with her
eyes and says, “I won’t ever again.” She
smiles back at her then follows her inside.
The girl has disappeared in the crowd and right when
Deja is getting ready to search for her, the club host informs her that she
needs to report to the back to get ready for her performance.
Eric walks in the club with a random female next to
him. He looks around to see if he can
find a table. He spots one that is
located near NiaJean and Brian that is marked “reserved” so he drags his date
to the table. Before they sit down he takes
his date over to NiaJean’s table. “Hey.” Eric says to NiaJean. “You made it!” NiaJean says with a little too much
excitement. “We made it. This is Sabrina.” Eric says in an uncomfortable tone. “Hey Sabrina.
Brian, you met Eric earlier today and…so now we meet Sabrina.” NiaJean says with a bit of sarcasm.
Brian gives Eric a head nod. “Good to see you again brother…and you too
Sabrina.” Brian says without realizing
it’s a different girl from earlier that day.”
“Yeah, you too.” She says with a
confused look on her face. There is an
awkward silence in the midst of all the noise in the club. Eric and Sabrina are uncomfortably standing
over NiaJean and Brian. “Well we’re
going to go sit down.” Eric says as he
tries to break the tension of the scene.
NiaJean forcibly smiles at them and they walk away. NiaJean finds herself constantly looking in
the direction of Eric and Sabrina but tries to be discreet. Both Brian and Eric notice the constant eye
exchange. Just as the tension builds
with the back and forth gazes…Deja appears on stage…
