We Promised.... But What Happened?

Cassandra's POV

A Week Later

Tonight is our last night here in Bali so we decided to plan the dinner. Yolanda, Michelle, and I have a farewell dinner for Karen and Val. Cheryl, Angela, and Doe were in charge of keeping them busy and away from the hotel so that we could set up. I was able to fly in a chef from our favorite restaurant back home and have him cook Karen and Val's favorite foods. We're just about finished with decorating the dining and the chef is almost finished cooking so we're heading back to the room to shower and get dressed.

"Hey, you two go in your rooms and go shower. We have about 3 hours until the dinner. Auntie Cheryl and Doe will be here soon with Val and Karen" I told Tam and Jacky

"Oh, and Lenita, make sure you wear a jacket that zips up. Don't think I didn't see that piece of a shirt." Yolanda told her

"But mom, that shirt isn't made to wear a jacket over it. I'll look stupid." Jacky replied

"Wear the jacket, or I'll choose your outfit." Yolanda challenged

"I'll wear the jacket," Jacky spoke

*phone rings*

"Oh, that's me. I'll take this outside; I'll be right back." Michelle responded

"How are you feeling, now that it's our last night here and pretty soon, Val and Karen will be leaving?" I asked Yolanda

"I'm not too sure. I'm trying not to think about it now, but I know I can't ignore it. I know that I'll miss them though. But I'll worry about that when the time comes." She replied

"I know I definitely will. The bond that I not only built with Val but with Karen also is something that can't be broken. They both came into my life at the right time." I spoke

"Same here. After losing Jacky's dad, I didn't know what I was going to do. I thank God for placing them in my life." Yolanda responded

*A few minutes later*

"Everything okay Chelle. You are smiling brighter than a lightbulb." Yolanda asked

"I just received some great news, but I'll wait until Cheryl and Ang get back with everyone." Chelle replied

"Speaking of which, aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Chelle asked

"Yeah, knowing Cheryl and Ang they're spending money." I spoke

A few minutes later, they finally came back

"Sorry, we're late. But Mrs. Clause and her two little elves almost got us arrested. Val and Ang spoke squinting at Cheryl and the girls

"Ohhhh Auntie Cheryl y'all almost got arrested' what happened?" Tam and Jacky asked coming back into the room

"This non-deodorant wearing Yolanda Saldivar looking ass bi-, I mean lady, had the nerve to purposely bump me while we were browsing in this boutique. Now the first time, I ignored it because it's not a big area. But the second time she did it, she smirk, so I gave her some words." Cheryl explained

"I noticed she got in my mama's face and I wasn't having it, so I stepped in. She called me out of my name and from there it was on. Karen here bit her finger." Doe explained

"Karen, you bit her finger!?" Yolanda and Chelle exclaimed

"I did and it tasted of wet dog and now it's stuck on my pallet. UGH!" Karen replied

"Well go shower and get dressed, we still have time before dinner. I need to talk with your moms." I told the girls

"I need about two bottles of mouthwash right now. I hope she didn't have fleas or anything." Karen spoke as they left the room
