''It's wedding day bitches!'' Ivy shouted as she popped a bottle of champagne.

I sat in a chair getting my hair and makeup done as she poured me a glass of champagne.

''Again,'' she states as she sets the bottle down and pops open a can of sprite and pours it into a glass followed by cherry flavoring and popping a maraschino cherry into it.

''Shirley Temple for my baby Audrey.'' She places the drink in front of Audrey who is getting the last few finishing touches of her makeup done.

''Thanks, Ivy-cakes,'' she winks as she looks up from her phone screen.

It was great to see Audrey thriving and happy.

Ever since she transferred and started hanging out with the girls in L.A., it was like she was born anew. She had completely come out of her shell and realized her worth. Audrey looked happier and healthier in her own skin, she didn't hide anymore and instead embraced her natural beauty.

And of course, she had a real man by her side treating her like the queen she deserve to be treated.

Although I did question his intelligence when he got the Disney princess Merida and Rapunzel mixed up in a text he sent her one night.

But they were so adorable nonetheless.

''Okay. I'm going to take Micah to his daddy so that I can finish getting dressed.''

The door closed as a round of boo's went through the room.

''No,'' Alex whined as she stood up and grabbed the baby.'' His aunties will watch him while you get dressed.''

''Isn't that right, Micah. Auntie Alex, Alessa, and Sage will watch after you while mommy gets ready.'' Alex cooed to the tiny baby as they walked away as Karma plopped into the chair next to me.

''So how is the bride doing?'' She asked as she took her hair out of her bun. It was so long and shiny, the true definition of Disney princess hair.

''I'm doing good,'' I say as I place my champagne glass in front of me as Maria places two lipstick options in front of me.

I picked out a nude brown color and she quickly placed a lip liner that paired nicely with it, allowing me to do my own lips to my liking.

'' The wedding day jitters kicking in yet?" she asked as Maria tweaked her makeup a bit, retouching a few spots here and there as Tati started on her hair.

''Those kicked in last night after he left the room.'' We laugh as I brush the lipstick over my lips, pressing them together to spread the lipstick evenly on my lips.

'' How about you, how are you doing lately?''

Karma sighed as she toyed with the rings on her fingers.'' It's been a bit stressful with the publishing house starting up. I've also been very tired lately with all of the meetings and new authors signing on with us. I think that I might be overexerting myself too much.''
