“She is,” Nae answered before I could.
“There’s no need. Me or our mama usually goes to these events with him, and they don’t say two words to us. They’ll be too busy in his face to even notice you, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to look good,” she stated. “I see Mara has been here and did your makeup. You look good, girl. I see why my brother is sniffing behind you.” She smirked.
“What?” I frowned.
“Oop,” Nae blurted.
“Nothing. Now be still so you can get your hair finished so we can try these dresses on.”
She went to the bed and unzipped the bag and pulled three black dresses out of the garment bag. When she held them up,they were all beautiful, but the simple strapless one stood out to me more. It was simple yet sexy.
“I like the strapless one,” I informed her.
“That was my choice too, and with them titties you got, it’ll look perfect on you,” she rushed out.
“Ooh, friend. That man might forget that y’all just playing after he sees you in that. Then you’ll have that thick thigh on display. Mhm... ain’t gone be no more playing after this,” Nae joked.
I rolled my eyes at her because she was doing too much.
She finally finished my hair, and it was time for me to get dressed. I must admit that seeing myself in this dress made me smile and my heart flutter. It fit me like a glove and the split went all the way up to my crotch, but you couldn’t see my coochie. I made sure of it, plus I put on a solid black satin thong to be safe. I was glad that the top had a built-in shelf bra to hold my girls up because my back was completely exposed. I paired my ensemble with my teardrop white gold necklace, matching earrings and a thin silver bracelet. I had a simple white gold diamond pave’ band on my right middle finger and switched out my gold anklets for my silver ones. I chose a simple pair of black heels that had a braided pattern across the toe area and a thin black strap across my ankle.
By the time I was done, there was a knock on the door, and Nae went to open it. All of a sudden my nerves dropped into my ass, and I was starting to sweat.
“Girl, calm down. You’ll be fine. They have free liquor at these things so take advantage of it. Trust me, it helps.” I heard what Lani was saying, but it didn’t help.
“Girl, it’s some big fine ass nigga at the door that said Titan sent him up to get you,” Nae said when she came back into the room.
“Oh, that’s Graves. My brother’s bodyguard. Let me go see how he looks.” Lani got up and trekked downstairs to be nosy while Nae walked me to the door.
“Hey, Malik,” I greeted.
“’Sup, Cady,” he grinned. “You look nice,” he complimented.
“Thank you,” I simpered. “I’m ready.”
I followed behind Malik with Nae beside me. When we reached the bottom, Malik helped me step down, and I saw Lani standing by the back passenger window. When we got close, Malik opened it, and Titan stepped out. I had to stop myself from drooling because this man looked every bit of delectable as he stood in front of me in his all-black tux that looked like it was made just to fit his body. He had on a black shirt underneath that was unbutton and revealed a platinum Cuban Link chain. His cologne smelled like it came straight from the gates of heaven, and his wild curls were well moisturized.
“Damn, Tink. You look good as fuck,” he complimented as he took my look in.
“Thank you,” I uttered. “You look nice as well,” I countered.
“Don’t lie to this nigga,” Lani joked.
He mushed his sister in the head. “You can’t be a hater all your life.” He turned back to me. “You ready?”
I nodded.
After telling Nae I’ll check in later, Titan helped me into the back of the SUV while he climbed in behind me and Malik got into the driver’s seat.
“He’s your driver too?” I asked.
He nodded.
“Yeah, only when I don’t feel like being bothered with other muthafuckas. I didn’t need anybody getting any ideas and leaking your address or some shit,” he stated honestly.
I never thought about someone possibly getting my address.
“You’re good, Tink. Ain’t nobody gone fuck with you,” he assured, and I nodded.
