Loving him, Love her

A pendent and a kiss

Chapter 6
Janell...
2:20 am and I can't for the life of me fall off the sleep, the girls,are out and I'm left here thinking. Maverick brought me back to dorms about 45 minutes ago and I've been thinking about him since. To say a brotha is fine is an understatement, because he is something else. I mean it's his look, his swag, his personality and something else, a glint of danger. He's about 6'3, 185 and muscular but not over the top, it's obvious that he works out, he's brown skin with dark brown eyes, close hair cut, clean shaven, and very well dressed.

Remembering my purchases I jump out of bed and grab the bag from Jemia's, looking at the locket for Melanie's birthday I know she will love it. I bought it because I notice this black and white photo she keeps looking at, and I thought she could put it in the locket. Taking the other purchases out of there bags I look at the dress I bought for the party its little pricy, but thinking of it as an investment I figured it was a good buy. It's a knee length black dress that fits at the top and flares at the waist. I already had shoes and accessories that would go great with it.

Hanging the dress in the closet I see my phone, I had a text, it's from him and I just smile so hard my cheeks hurt. Noticing that the text come through 25 minutes ago...ugh I was In the bathroom. Opening the message I read.

Unknown: hoping you are in your room safe with the doors locked... Night!

Reading the text again I think I could like this guy! Saving the number under Maverick. I plug up my phone turn over in the bed and fall instantly asleep with a smile on my face.

The party...
Janell...
Mercedes flies into the room like an tornado dropping bags, and heading straight into the bathroom, a few minutes later she comes out and flops on her bed.

"Don't get comfortable you know we have to leave in an hour.We can't be late, you know your slow and because we are all riding together so if your late then we are late and I hate to be late."

Turning back to my work I'm not even phased at the look Mercedes is giving me right now, she knows I'm telling the truth.

45 minutes later, the boys are in the room and we are all waiting on Mercedes to finish dressing. I'm in my little black dress with my pearls I got as a graduation gift from my parents. Dallas is smartly dress in a black suit and black shirt, and Eric is in a brown suit with a brown shirt, neither are wearing ties, but they look really nice.

Mercedes comes out of the bathroom in a pants suit that she matched with black heals looking stunning as always. Adding her hoop earrings as her only jewelry she grabs her clutch and I grab my bag and we head out to the dinner.

Pulling up to the Chest Bistro I'm exited. I've wanted to eat here since I've heard of there exclusive and exotic menu or should I say lack of menu. Whatever you want you tell your server and they make it for you. They don't have menus or prices, but I know for a fact you have to pay a hundred dollar cover charge per person just to come in. Truly wondering what Melanie parents do for a living to afford a party here I make a mental note to ask her later.

We were ushered to our seats by the hostess that greeted us at the door. She explained that we could part take in the buffet set up near the back, and that dinner would be served within the hour. Getting our plates we make our selections.

After 30 minutes or so we are silenced with the presentation of Ms. Melanie Maxwell and her family. My hairs stand on my neck, not knowing why I rub my neck trying to calm myself. I have no idea why my heart is pounding now! Looking around I catch someone in my line of vision. It's Maverick and he's hold hands with Melanie!

Maverick...
"Maverick, at least pretend you want to be hereI smile and kiss my sisters cheek. "

"Sissy, you know I love you and I would only want to be here right now with you and all these other people I don't know, exactly how many of them do you know."
