A K-Pop Utopia (A Black Kitty Series, Book 2)

Chapter 22: Let The Party Begin

The hour was almost here and the place was looking magnificently red thanks to Lee, the hotel staff and the five of us Toxins. The food came right on time and they looked really appetizing. They were set on tables down the hall just after the door leading to the lounge. Mike had quickly set up the sound system for the party and there was some music playing in low sound.

Mike was standing by the sound system behind his laptop going through his music list. He volunteered to be the DJ for the day. Christine and Zoey were still in their rooms adding finishing touches to their makeup. I know it's a red themed party, but if they were putting red makeup all over their faces, they would look like clowns.

Daniel and I were standing at the entrance of the lounge looking around and admiring the place. As for Lee, she was taking a phone call down the hall, obviously telling the staff to be aware of our guests. She was dressed in a stunning red long flared dress that made her look twice as pretty. She decided to take up the party as the host.

"This is going to be some party," said Daniel.

"Don't you think we should have put up a disco ball?" I asked as I stared at the ceiling.

"Nah, it's fine. The red streamers are already shiny enough that we don't need one."

"Ya, you're right. I'm nervous about the party, you know?"

"Because of the paparazzi? They aren't coming in this party for your own info. It's not like they are going to judge the way our party is going to be."

"You're right, we shouldn't be worried now that we have beefed up security. But I'm worried for another reason."

Daniel folded his arms as he looked at me. "Whenever you say that, things happen for the worst."

"Twenty percent of the time," I assured him.

"More of a fifty if you ask me."

"Well, that's too much, don't you think?"

"I don't know. You're the one who gets the crazy heebeegeebees all the time. Now tell me, do you feel something bad is really going to happen at the party?"

"No, not really. Maybe I'm just thinking too much worrying that something might go wrong."

"Or maybe, you're thinking too much about G-Dragon."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Why would I be thinking about him?"

"I don't know." Daniel playfully moved his foot around. He wore pretty cool red and white Nike sneakers with a matching red and black baseball jersey and black shirt with black jeans. Mike wore similar clothes since they both decided that they should look like twins for the day. "Maybe you're just trying to impress him."

"No, I'm not trying to impress him. I just feel guilty. I mean, it was his party after all and then we ruined everything."

"You can't simply blame us. But now that you've have put up a warning signal, I might just be a little cautious from now on."

"Nothing is going to go wrong. Don't mind what I say."

"Sam, are you just having this weird feeling because of the phone call you received earlier?"

I gulped. Maybe that's why I was feeling like this. And now that Daniel had reminded me, he might be right.

"Let's not think about it," I said as I looked over at Lee down the hall. "Lee doesn't know about this yet."

"Sure," said Daniel as he pantomimed with his fingers by zipping his mouth.

Lee came towards us after talking on the phone. "Okay, guys," she said. "Our first guests have arrived."
