How They Met

"Please come to this party tonight. I promise you it will be fun. When's the last time time you went out? I know you miss your parents. They wouldn't want you to be sad mopping around here all depressed," says Jojo

"Alright fine but only because you're getting on my nerves. If I don't go you'll keep bugging me about it." 😩

"Yes I knew you couldn't say no to me!" Says jojo with a smirk on her face.

I love that girl to death even though she drives me crazy. Me and her have been friends since the 1st grade. She's always had my back no matter what. When my parents died she was there for me when no one else was.

"I guess I can go I deserve to have some fun."

"Yess girl that's what I've been trying to tell you for the longest. Now go find something cute to put on. You know we gotta look good whenever we go out." Says Jojo

"Oh you already know." 😏👏👏

I walk into my closet and pick out an outfit to wear for tonight. After a few minutes of debating I finally decide on a black dress. Every girl needs herself a little black dress. I quickly put it on and grab a pair of red bottoms. I put on some bright red lip stick and do my make up.

I walk out of my closet and see Jojo waiting for me.

"Let me straight iron your hair." Says Jojo

"Oh good now I don't have to do it myself."

I sit on the bed and she pulls out the straight iron. This will take awhile. I have naturally thick curly hair. Thanks to my parents. My dad is Puerto Rican and my mom is black. Some how I ended up with thick ass curly hair. (There's a picture of what Ashanti looks like on the side in external link above comments.)

After what seems like forever, Jojo finishes my hair.

"I'm done girl you look like a thang. Yass fuck it up." 😍😩👌 says Jojo

"Girl your so crazy."

I walk over to my mirror and admire my girls work. My once thick hair is now straight and almost reaches my but. It's been ages since I've straightened my hair because it always takes so long.

"Girl did the damn thing. My hair is laid my girl got skills." 😘

"You're welcome boo. You know I always got you." Says Jojo

We both stand in front of the mirror. Jojo has on a dark blue strapless dress. The dress hugs her in all right the places.

"Your ass looks perfect in that dress. My nigga got the Chubb." 😏👌

"Ju know." 💁 says Jojo

"We look like two bad bitches."

"Come on lets go and turn up." Says Jojo

She grabs my hand and leads me downstairs.

I leave a note for my aunt saying that I went out. She's busy at work and probably won't be home to late. I left the note just incase I don't want her to worry. Ever since my parents died my aunt is extra protective of me.

I walk outside following after Jojo closing the door behind me.

I jump inside my new Mercedes's.

"So where is this party again?"

"It's at this new club downtown. Trust it's about to be live AF. I told Ronnie to bring some of his friends through. We need to get you a boo thing. You've been single for way too long." Says Jojo
