"So basically I was telling her that keeping any secrets from your lover is a basic no go for any type of relationship. Unless she is trying to reveal a pregnancy to him or something," I said as I was getting my nails done and on the phone with Neala. "But then she told me that this was something that she really had to hold back for quite some time, but I reminded her that he had every right to know as they are practically married at this point. Sure he had yet proposed to her, but they are basically seen as a married couple by the rest of us," I then said and smiled at the technician as she showed me the length of my nail. "Yes, that's perfect," I told her and she smiled at my little comment. 

"They will either need to seek some therapy or go on some sort of getaway so that they can have that moment to themselves where she would feel the most comfortable to share that with him," Neala says and I agreed. "Exactly, and I am not saying that she is a bad girlfriend as I am sure that there are people who have baggage who have a harder time admitting it to someone else who probably won't understand, but at the same time, you can't assume how someone is going to react if you don't sit down with them and talk to them about it." "And that is so true. Remember how long it took me to tell Shawn that I was a stripper?" "Girl yes, and that irritated me, because I was just like... it's not like you are having sex on the street or some shit. Everyone makes their own money somehow. It was better4 to tell him sooner than to have him walk in and see in the act of it," I spoke and looked at my nails with a smile as the tech was dealing with the other hand at this point.

"And you were right about that, because he was pretty supportive and I now have a regular customer because of it," she says and giggles a little. I smiled at my friends words and looked up randomly and my smile just dropped when I saw my ex walking in my direction. In the hopes of her just walking past me, I looked at my nails again and smiled at the work that the tech was doing. 

"Hazza? You still there? You went quiet out of nowhere," Neala says and I sighed. "Girl, my toxic ex is here, so I am really trying to distract my-" "Oh! Hello Harriet!" I heard her greet and I cringed at the sound of her voice. I turned my head a little and saw my ex standing there. I just looked at her and she knew that I was already getting irritated by her appearance. "Yeah, I will sit right there," she then says and takes the seat that was right next to me. "Oh you have got to be kidding me..." I mumbled and looked at the nails that were currently getting done. 

"I am so sending prayers to you girl..." Neala says on the other end and I sighed again. "How have you been doing lately?" "Do you really care?" I asked sarcastically and just smiled at the tech that was just looking at me and her. "Not really. Say, are you going to that yearly party that you love going to?" She asked as she rested her hands as followed by the tech that was taking care of her. 

"Yes? I feel like you just answered your own question there," I said and she just shrugged. "I am only asking because of the requirement to get in is probably not something that you can do." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Well the only way for you to get in is that you will need to have a date, and I am not talking about a good friend or your sister. I mean a lover. You need to be in a relationship with who you decide to bring with you to the party. Last time that I've checked, your single, correct?" She asked and I was shocked. I kept track of this party for the longest and to hear that the requirement to go to it was so major was just so... unreal. 

"You don't know what you're talking about.." "Oh I do, I am seeing someone who is a part of making this party and she told that the requirement to get in is that you need to bring your lover. Girlfriend or boyfriend. Don't think that you can fool anyone either. If you bring Neala, then I will just simply tell my girlfriend that Ms. Neala is actually in a relationship with a man named Shawn Mendez and that the two of you can never see each other as more than just good friends. Maybe y'all would kiss if y'all were both single, but that is so not the case right now, is it?" She asked and I was upset. 

I really need to find a girlfriend before this party and this is in the next two months by the way. 

"Miss.. we are done?" The tech that was taking care of me sawid and I looked at her and then at my hand. She was done with all of my nails and I was happy with how they looked of course, but I was not happy with what I was just hearing. 

"Oh um... Thank you," I said and got up. She told me to go wash my hands and she will just meet me at the front. I nodded my head and i picked up my purse. "Have a good day Ms. Styles," my ex spoke mockingly and I just glared at her. I walked to one of the sinks and started to wash my hands. "You have  to bring a date?" Neala asked and I groaned. "Apparently... god dammit..." I spoke and after I dried my hands off, I walked to the front while looking up the must-go-to party. 

And it was revealed then. The theme was 'Love Is In The Air' and the little caption that they had read 'Bring your special someone and show off your love to all and everyone!' "Girl, it's all true," I said and looked through my bag to pull out my wallet. I paid and tipped my technician and I thanked her one more time before I walked out of the building. 

"You have got to fucking kidding me..." I muttered before I got into my car and started to drive to get to where Neala said that she would meet me up at. "I will help you girl! You really have nothing to worry about, okay?" She asked and I just sighed. 

I just really didn't expect this to happen so soon...

....
Louise
"Girl, you really got to try this out," I tell Zayna as we were eating at some bakery together. Lilliam said that she would meet us there in a few more minutes and to go ahead and order ourselves something to eat. "What is it?" She asked before she did take a bite out of the bowl that I got. "I think it was called peachy sunshine. Good, isn't it?" I asked and she agreed with me. "I will be sure to get that next time when we go here," she tells me and I nodded my head.

When we thought that Lilliam was the one who was approaching our table, we both looked up and saw who it really was and it wasn't Lilliam. Lilliam was here, but she was at the front, ordering her food and something to drink.

The person that was right in front of us was my ex. 

My toxic ass ex-girlfriend. 

"Hello ladies, how are we doing today?" She asked and leaned over the table and I leaned back. "Are you guys doing well. Have you heard about that big party coming up pretty soon? I can recall Louise wanting to go every year. That is something that she is always excited about," she says teasingly and I just glared at her. "WEll I know that sh won't be able to go this year as this year, she will need to bring an actual date," she says and I looked at Zayna and she was looking irritated too.

"Yup, you can't bring your sister and I know that Zayna here has a special someone that is actually your best friend, so that can't happen right? You are stuck now, huh?" She asked and I looked at her again. 

"Because your still single, correct? You don't have a girl of your own, right? Does this mean that I won't be expecting your attendance this year?" She then asked mockingly. "How about you hope off of her dick and fuck off, alright? You are just ruining our day with your nasty vibe," Lilliam said as she was stepping up to our table and she placed her things down. She stood in from=nt of my ex and crossed her arms. "I am not going to ask again either, because I will call the cops for harassment," she says and my ex froe=wns. 

She looked at me one more time and pulled a mocking smile. "See you at the party Zayna. Sorry that you can't make it Louise. Maybe next year, yeah?" She asked before she turned and walked away. I grabbed my phone and I immediately started to look more into it and unfortunately she was not lying to us. I really have to have a significant other in order to go to this party. Like Zayna can go because her and Lilliam are really close to where they could be dating by the party is here. Meanwhile for me... I am freaking single and I really did not want to be in a relationship right now. 

"Are you serious?" I asked with a groan and put my phone down. "What?" Lilliam asked and I looked at her. "I really need to have a date in order for me to go. I can't bring my sisters either. I need to be in an actual relationship with them..." I said and just took another spoonful of my yogurt. "You could just bring a girl with you?" Zayna offered and I shook my head. "That would not feel right with me honestly. Just pretend that I am seeing this girl... that is so beyond fake and I hate those who are fake," I said and they knew that. "Well we can make something happen for sure. It wouldn't be that hard, right?" Lilliam asked and took a seat right next to Zayna.

"I don't even know Lily... I don't even want a relationship right now..." I said and wiped my face out of frustration. "You just need to find the right one for you Lou. I knew that she was probably toxic from the very beginning. I wish it was a bit more clear so that I could have warned you," Zayna sasys and takes a sip of her coffee. "Well we are seeing how nasty she is now, but tthat is besides the point, we need to get you a girlfriend!" Lilliam says and Zayna nodded to that. She then subtly hadd Lilliam try out her drink and Lilliam complimented on it after he tried it. I watched them talk and act around one another and I just felt a bit of jealousy.

Because so do porn. I do OnlyFans, and I also stop, so it's a bit hard for others to want me for who I am with the career that I have. With them though, they have good and stable jobs that doesn't get criticized. Zayna is a fashion model, and Lilliam is an actor. Now does this mean that I'm going to change careers? No. Because as I have stated before, I love what I do and I really don't see myself changing anytime soon.

"I just don't know..." I said and looked at my phone again. My friends tried to raise my spirits, but at the end of the day, there was a likely chance that I was going to be missing one of the most epic parties that is two weeks long just because I don't have someone that I have interest in. This is totally not fair! Like they have never set such a rile before and the one time that they do, here I am not wanting a relationship and not wanting to be with anyone.

The timing is always so fucked up apparently...

Both
This is going to be so fucking hard!
