CHAPTER 35

'No girl. I have a dinner date with Mr. CEO of Hollen Tower!" I screamed out as I did a silly dance. Zenia rushed to me with a big hug and a loud squeal, 'Are you serious? Where's he taking you?" 'To his parents house," I answered as a cold chill calmed my heated nerves. 'What?" Zenia asked, stepping back, 'He's already taking you home to meet his folks?" 'No... Well yes... It's more like a business date sort of thing." 'Bitch shut up. Stop trying to limit this. He's taking you home to his mom and dad for a dinner date, this is a big deal. He likes you Jassy. How many rich guys takes their assistants to their family houses?" 'A few." 'Exactly. You've made an impact on this man." 'Girl, whatever! Can you please use some of your magic on me this evening? I'm dinning with his mom, dad, sister and younger brother. I want to make a good first impression, especially to his mom since I already met his father." 'Really?" ″Yeah. He came by the office for a meeting with his son. Can you believe he hugged me instead of shaking my head like a normal gentleman? He's not stuck up for a rich man. He's so down to earth and friendly and funny too." 'Jas , this is great. Play your cards right and you'll end up the next Mrs. Hollen." I laughed. Picturing myself getting married to Evan Hollen. That was almost every woman's dream. I would need a very long ladder to climb to that level. 'Come on, let's pick out something for me to wear." Zenia loved fashion. We rampaged through my closet, looking for the perfect outfit. 'How about this black one?" I asked her. 'No. Black is too average. You'll look like another woman he once dated and grew tired of. You want to stand out, not fit in." I rolled my eyes at her. This chick is crazy. 'Okay, well this red one is nice," I said again, taking the dress off the closet rod and passing it over to her. 'No. Red is too loud for the first date. You don't want to go over the top with this. Red is a powerful colour. Save it for the third date." I had no idea that there was a colour code to these things but leave it up to my sister, she'll alternate everything to fit her fashion ego. 'Move out of the way," Zenia said, pushing me aside and standing in the closet. She scanned my dresses. 'Here!" she said, tossing over a white two piece dress with long lace sleeves. 'This?" I asked alarmingly. She scoffed at my reaction. 'Yes. It's respectable enough for his parents, but at the same time you don't want to bore him. So the lace exposure should be enough to have those eyes on you the whole time," she answered with a satisfied smile. I scoffed that time. 'Okay. Lets get started on that hay bed on your head." 'What! My hair isn't a hay bed!" I scolded. 'Yeah yeah yeah." She tossed me my Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner. After washing my hair and air drying it, I trimmed my toe nails and had my sister polished them. I watched her pairing the outfit with accessories and deciding on the perfect hairstyle to put my hair in. Then finally, it was time to get dress. I stepped out the shower, towelled off my skin, applied lotion and step into my two piece dress, very carefully so I wouldn't leave a dirt mark on it. The dress hugged me in all the right places, but it made my booty looked too huge for my liking. I called Zenia in my bedroom immediately. 'I can't wear this!" I protested. 'Why?" she asked. 'This is too slutty-ish. Look at this! I have two asses!" I turned my back towards her so she could have a perfect look. 'Damn girl, you're going have that man drooling all over you." 'Zenia, stop it!" 'Jassy, would you relax! You look great. I don't see what's the problem. You have a nice piece of ass, so what? He'll just spank it," she laughed out. 'I'm meeting his parents. I look like a hooker." 'No you don't look like one. You look beautiful and so sophisticated." She guided me to the seat at my computer desk, plugged in my curling iron and began styling my hair. 'Time for your accessories now," she said when she was through with my hair. She handed me my pair of black wedges, gold bracelet and gold necklace. Not actual gold though or else I would had pawned it a long time ago. 'WOW!" she said, taking a step backwards and admiring her project when everything was completed and I was ready to go. It was 6:25 pm. I was pacing the sitting room back and forth. Palms sweaty and mumbling words to calm myself. 'Girl, please settle yourself. You're acting like a bloody chicken without a head. Relax!" Zenia scolded. 'He'll be here any minute Zenia," I said, taking a seat now. 'Wait! He's coming here!?" 'Yes." 'Bitch, you got me looking like a runaway slave while you're all on fleek. I can't meet him like this!" she ran towards her bedroom.
