"Long time no see" Shannon annoyingly says upon my arrival
"How far are we?" I ignore her first comment and ask
"We? What have you contributed?" she snaps
Shocked I respond "Mind you, this is MY Boutique, my name on this building"
"Let's not overreact now" Heather interrupts
Dropping it Shannon says "All we need now are people to do hair and makeup"
"So you've been stressing me for nothing" I sigh
"How's your boo?" Shannon asks
"Who?" I ask
She blankly stares at me as if that were the dumbest question in the world
"He's NOT my boo, we're just friends"
"Why so defensive?" Heather asks
"I just...I don't have time for a guy in the NFL again"
"You never know" they both say in harmony
"We're hanging out again tonight" I slightly smile
"What are you guys going to do?" Shannon asks
"Their probably going to--" I give Heather the death stare and she stops talking
"I don't know yet, something fun" I say jumping up to make some phone calls for this upcoming show
It's finally the evening time and I leave the boutique. I have everything squared away so I text Odell that I'm free.

I decided to wear (picture below) for the plane ride
Dragging both my suitcases down the steps, my doorbell rings
I open it to some fancy dressed stranger
"Ms. Lakes?" he says politely
"That's me" I answer awkwardly
"I'm here to escort you to the vehicle on accord of Mr. Beckham, he is currently awaiting your arrival"
Walking out I see a black escalade in my driveway
Getting in the driver closes my door and Odell is smiling at me with a bouquet of roses in his hand
