go get you some tissues.” Brielle said walking towards the bathroom.
As Brielle walked in, she saw the hottest bootie heels ever. She looked up and seen that the girl wearing the booties obviously had a lot of fashion sense because her turquoise dress was hot.
“I love your shoe,” Brielle said.
“Thank you. I just bought them.”
“Where did you get them from? If you don’t mind me asking.”
“Girl no, I got them from Bakers.”
“Wow. I have to try them out. Those are hot.”
“Thank you.” Samara smiled.
“I love your dress too.” Brielle smiled.
“Thank you. I know the woman who designed it. She picked this out for me to wear.”
“She is obviously amazing. I love it.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Well it was nice meeting you. I only came in here for napkins,” Brielle said grabbing the napkins and walking out.
“Nice meeting you as well,” Samara went back to putting on her makeup.
Brielle walked out and handed Shanice the napkins. Shanice smiled and thanked her.
“Girl I just seen some chick in the bathroom with the baddest shoes and dress. We need to go to Bakers,” Brielle said the group of friends.
“Damn, could we get through tonight before y’all start talking about buying some more damn shoes.” Zo joked.
“Hush it. But thank you babe, I really appreciate you doing this for me.” Shanice said kissing Zo again.
Just as Brielle was about to respond, Kris walked through the door with his slacks, button up, and tie.
“This nigga could never dress regular,” Zo mumbled.
“Be nice,” Shanice said laughing.
“I guess man,” Zo said.
“Happy Birthday Shanice.” Kris said handing Shanice a card.
“Thank you Kris,” Shanice said hugging him loosely.
“Well let’s sit.” Zo said.
“Okay.” Shanice and the crew said walking over towards the table.
“Zo did you do this by yourself?” Shanice asked amazed.
“Yeah man. Brielle helped me set some stuff up.” Zo answered.
“Awe! I love it.”
Everyone sat coupled up, when everybody heard heels clicking behind them. Nobody paid it any attention until Samara sat down next to Kiyan.
“I’m sorry it took me so long.” Samara said not making eye contact to anybody.
“Who the hell is she?” Danielle asked first.
“Oh my bad. Everybody this is,” Kiyan started.
“Samara!” Chloe, Shanice and Sabriya said at the same time.
“How do y’all know her?” Kiy asked.
“Yeah how do y’all know her and why is she here? I thought this was a private affair and everybody else wasn’t coming until we went to the club later,” Danielle said.
“Hi. I’m Samara. I’m Kiyan’s girlfriend.”
When Samara broke the news to everyone, all the girls dropped their forks and looked from Samara to Kiyan. Then from Kiyan and Brielle.
“Well, this is awkward.” Brielle said.
“Who are you telling,” Zo added.
“Mara, well you know Chloe, Shanice and Sabriya. This is Brielle, her boyfriend Kris, and Danielle.” Kiyan said while pointing to each person.
“Nice to meet y’all” Samara smiled.
“Pleasure to meet you,” Kris answered.
“Nice meeting you,” Brielle spoke up.
“Yeah, hello. How do y’all know her?” Danielle asked her friends.
“We met her last week at Styles by S?” Shanice spoke up.
“Last week when?” Kiyan asked.
“When she was obviously looking for a dress to wear tonight.” Chloe answered.
“What they said. I helped her pick out her dress.” Sabriya added.
“Well damn. Since when we don’t tell each other about new friends?” Danielle asked.
“Not now.” Brielle said.
“Why not? They know this girl by face and name, but didn’t even mention it,” Danielle responded.
“Danielle stop yo,” Cam said.
“Okay damn, I just wanted to know. Don’t shoot me for wanting answers about her. I was just asking.” Danielle rolled her eyes at Cam.
“Don’t start your shit Danielle. I mean it.” Cam said.
“I said I was done. Damn. Move on,” Danielle yelled.
“Well, maybe we should move on to gifts.” Zo said.
“Yeah, why don’t we start with that,” Hakeem smirked.
Zo got up from the table, grabbed Shanice and put her into the chair that Brielle decorated for her to open gifts. Shanice began opening up the gifts that her friends gave her. She received everything, bags from next season, shoes that were not being advertised, and money from the boys. Shanice was nearly in tears after opening all of her gifts.
“Thank y’all so much for my gifts. I really wasn’t expecting anything from anyone, but I ended up with everything. I really love y’all.” Shanice smiled.
“I got one more thing for you.” Zo said handing her three envelopes.
“What are these?” Shanice asked.
“Open them and find out. These are your gifts from me,” Zo smiled.
Shanice opened the first one and smiled when she seen that Zo gave her a couples spa day for
