Forever and a Day

chapter 3

“That’s crazy they was all smiling and playing with them, thinking they was gonna get with them.” -Cam

Kiyan was throwing one of the biggest parties this year. He was celebrating the signing of his new artist Alonzo. Alonzo was a street rapper who never got the chance to show his talent until Kiyan discovered him freestyling against some little nigga on the block. Kiyan owned his own record label. Royalty Records was his baby. Kiyan opened up Royalty Records a year ago and his record label was one of the best. He also was a big drug distributor in the east coast. Whatever you needed Kiyan supplied it. Royalty Records was the way he washed up all his dirty money. Tonight he was sure to throw the best party Club Luna ever seen. He hired an event planner that wasn't worth shit. Shorty didn't even plan shit; she was just there looking stupid while everybody else was working. She was stupid if she thought she was getting paid the original price she asked for. He had to remember to look for a new event planner for Alonzo's birthday party in 3 months.

"Ayo Dog, you think them fine ass sisters from the mall gone show up tonight," asked Cam. He was Kiyan's right hand man. Besides his mother Kiyan didn't trust anybody else except his partners Cam and Tyrese.

"Son I hope so, Ole girl Bri was fine as hell, I want her! " said Kiyan.

"You want her or you want some ass?" laughed Cam

"I want shorty. She look like girlfriend material, but you know looks can be deceiving," a serious Kiyan thought about.

"You right, but they all look like the independent type of chicks. But like you said, you never know," said Cam.

"I tell you what, imma approach shorty tonight & if she be off her hoodrat shit then I'm gonna just f*ck her and be done. But if shorty act classy, imma wife her,"

"Awww shit, tonight should be fun," laughed Cam.

"Yeah it should be, lets go check on these other niggas. Oh yeah and make sure we find another party planner because Bella is done. That bitch is lazy."

"Iight man, I didn't like her hood rat ass anyway," said Cam.

Back at Brielle's house, the girls were beginning to get dressed for Kiyan's party. Brielle decided to wear her new pink strapless fitted dressed, her new black Christian Louboutin heels and her pink clutch. Danielle decided she would go all out with her short, black mini dress and her new Louis Vuitton heels and purse. Sabriya just threw on her new dress that she designed along with here new heels that wasn't scheduled to come out until next summer. Chloe wanted to wear something that would let her party all night and be comfortable. So she chose her Styles by S mini skirt and vest with her new studded bra with Louboutin heels. Shanice basically wore the same thing as Chloe except she decided tonight she would get bold and not wear her vest.

After everyone was dressed, they gathered around Brielle's huge bathroom mirror to take a picture. "We are some bad bitches, Danielle laughed, they better watch out tonight. They're not gonna know what hit them when we step inside the club."

"Alright lets go, so we can get our party on," Shanice added.

"Yes, I'm ready to party and promote my new summer clothing line," Sabriya added.

~~~~~

An hour later the girls pulled up to Club Luna valet's parking with Brielle's new Lexus GS 350. The ladies were shocked that the line was wrapped around the corner. Brielle thought to herself, damn what kind of party is this and where did all these people come from? Brielle's thoughts were interrupted when the parking valet opened the driver's door for Brielle.

"Thank you," said Brielle as her and the girls got out and went to the VIP entrance of the club.

"Hi, we're on the list," said Chloe.

"And your names are," said the bouncer.

"Brielle, Sabriya, Chloe, Danielle and Shanice," said Brielle.

"Ummmm . . . okay got you . . . these are your wristbands and you have table number ten. Enjoy your night ladies," said Brielle. The ladies walked in and were surprise to find so many celebrities inside. Everybody looked to be having a great time. Once they got to their table, the waitress came over and got the ladies drink orders. Everyone decided to start off with cups of jolly ranchers before they started to indulge in heavier drinks.

"Girl, who the hell is Kiyan because I swear to God I just seen most of my clients in here and I haven't been here for 5 minutes yet," Danielle mentioned.

"Girl I don't know, but I see a lot of my clients here too," said Brielle. As Brielle took a look around the club she seen Victor Cruz, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Dwyane Wade, LeBron, Swizz Beatz, and Chris Paul. All of them were her clients at her image consultant business.

"I'm going to kill him, Danielle yelled looking at J.R. Smith, he just got traded to the Knicks but it hasn't hit the media yet and look at him over there partying it up with Melo & Amare."

"Girl, let him live. You know he's friends with Melo already, so nobody is going to know. Besides, you can't kill him yet until I sign him for my new client," laughed Brielle.

"Um huh, but when I get up I'm definitely going over there to speak to him," Danielle frowned.

"Well I guess I might as well go with you to see my clients and make sure everything is okay," Brielle added.

Brielle and Danielle got up to go talk to their clients. Brielle was an image consultant and Danielle was a sports agent. Once they confirmed their clothing was fine and their intentions were positive, they walked away and joined the ladies again. Then, they started to party.

Kiyan and Cameron watched the whole scene between Brielle and Danielle and the NFL and NBA players. Kiyan was definitely not impressed. He wanted Brielle to be different so bad, but after what he just witnessed, she probably just wanted to snatch somebody with money so she could get out the hood. Damn all girls are the same, thought Kiyan.

"Yo, you saw shorty and her friend all up in Melo & them faces. That’s crazy they was all smiling and playing with them, thinking they was gonna get with them. You saw how quick my boys turned them down. The sad part is that ole girl's friend looks hot. I would of wifed her but now I'm gonna make sure I get some ass from her," laughed Cameron.

"Word, I'm getting shorty too," added Kiyan.

"Lets go over there," Cam responded tapping Kiyan back as they began walking over to the ladies table.

"Wassup ladies, how y'all doing?" Kiyan and Cameron greeted the ladies.

"Hello Fellas, we're good. Thanks for the invite. Its poppin' in here," Chloe offered her opinion.

"Thank you! We did this all ourselves since our bum ass event planner wasn't doing shit," Kiyan vented.

"Well next time you need an event planner, call me! That is what I do," Sha said while handling him her card, promoting her business. Looking at the card, Kiyan was impressed. He only wished that her damn friend did something other then trying to trap ball players at his party.

"We'll hit you next time, maybe you could show me what you do and you could do our boy Lonzo's birthday party." Cameron added.

"Okay, Shanice said while siting back down. She was ready to party now. Well ladies, I don't know about y’all but I'm ready to party."

"Shit me too," Chloe added.

"Well ladies, we will come check on you later. Enjoy yourself and thanks again for coming out," Kiyan said.

~~~~~

The ladies partied all night long. They were happy to release a month's worth of work stress tonight. Brielle forgot all about her plans to make Kiyan speechless because she was too busy having fun with her girls. She wished she had dropped Murder ass a long time ago. She never showed out during her girl's weekend out of respect for her relationship with him. Now she was single and she was definitely going to live it up to the fullest. Danielle was having a good time but she couldn't help but think that Kiyan's boy Cam was sexy as hell. Cameron was easy on the eyes. Standing at 6'5, Cameron was slim yet muscular build. He had a medium brown complexion, toned arms and a smile that would knock anyone off the earth. She was sure that she would get Cam sooner or later. Sabriya was having a great time with her girls, but then she thought about her boyfriend Hakeem and began to miss him. She excused herself and texted Hakeem. Chloe and Shanice were partying like it was their birthday.

An hour later, Sabriya’s boyfriend Hakeem picked her up. She couldn't spend another minute away from him. The other ladies wasn't surprised when they seen Hakeem walk in the club. Sabriya and Hakeem were inseparable. Hakeem played for the New York NFL team so whenever he was home, he would spend all his time with his baby. Hakeem was brown skin. He had short black curls. He was muscular fitting the stereotype of a football player. Standing at 6'9 he turned heads wherever he went. However he only had eyes for Sabriya. They had been dating since sophomore year of college. Hakeem was your typical pretty boy that is why he fit right in with his Kappa Alpha Psi brothers. After Hakeem shared a drink with the ladies and signed a few autographs, he took Sabriya home for the night.

After Sabriya and Hakeem left the ladies partied some more and then the next thing you know it was the last song. When the deejay did the last call all the ladies took this as a time to get more drinks and relax. Just as they started drinking, Kiyan and all his boys came up to the table.

"Hey ladies, you all know me and Cam, these are my other boys Tyrese and Alonzo. This was Alonzo's celebration tonight for getting a record deal," Kiyan explained.

"Well Congratulations, I'm Shanice and these are my girls Brielle, Danielle and Chloe," Shanice said smiling at Lonzo. He definitely looked good. Alonzo was light skin, hazel eyes similar to Brielle's. He had one dimple on the right side. He had waves and he fit your typical rapper's profile.

"Thank you and nice to meet you ladies, he said to the girls, Hey Shanice would you like to dance with me?"

"Sure why not," Shanice got up.

"Would you like to dance Danielle?" Cameron offered.

"Yes, I would," smiled Danielle.

"What about you?" Kiyan said to Brielle.

"I guess that wouldn't be bad," Brielle said.

"Wassup Ma, I'm Tyrese and I think you're beautiful. Would you like to dance?" Tyrese introduced himself to Chloe.

"I'm actually tired, but if you like you can sit down with me." Chloe offered.

"Sure, I will," Tyrese sat down.

When Tyrese sat down Chloe noticed that Tyrese was fine as hell. He was dark skin a tall standing at 6 feet even. They began to make small talk until the rest of the group decided to get off the dance floor. It was four o'clock in the morning when the club finally closed and the guys decided to walk the girls to the table to let the crowd die down. After the guys and ladies sat down, they exchanged numbers and they each promised to call/text when they reached their destinations. Each of the ladies walked to the car with smiles on their faces and couldn't wait to get to Brielle's house to debrief on tonight! This could be the start of something good, Shanice thought.
