mean inâour limo. And oooh, Keyshawn. I mean Key. If I get me a basketball would you sign it?â
All I could do was look down in horror and roll my eyes, and no, the damn liquor in the limo was not free; every drop she chugalugged was cominâ out of my pocket. I sighed a long, loud sigh.
âYeah, Iâd be more than happy to, ma. Jusâ give it to Michelle over there and itâs a done deal. So, how about we start off with a bottle of rosé and some muthafuckinâ shots, âcause I donât know about yâall but my ass is thirsty.â
I smiled apologetically at Keyshawn, thankful for the icebreaker.

I wasnât sure how many glasses of champagne or how many shots we were in, but things were definitely starting to get fun. Weâd each taken turns talking about strange and random sex facts. Thanks to Lania, I now knew that some female penguins actually engaged in prostitution to get pebbles from âsingleâ guy penguins to build their nests. She kept looking at Chanel the whole time she was telling the story, which had me weak as hell. If I didnât know better Iâd have said Chanel was giving Key a hand job under the table; heâd suddenly gotten extremely quiet and they both seemed overly interested in something down there.
There was a bunch of commotion at the entrance, drawing everyoneâs attention. Two bouncers came in and ordered the people in the booth behind us to leave. I could hear the guy complaining and asking for a manager.
âDamn, whatâs going on?â I asked, glancing around cautiously. After everything Iâve put myself through to plan this shit out, theyâd better not ask us to move or my ass is going to raise pure hell. In the center of the bodyguards there was a smaller guy with piercing crystal-grey eyes carrying a Louis Vuitton briefcase, and a group of women flocked around him. I almost twisted my neck trying to get a better look at who he was.
âWho is he supposed to be?â I had to ask when I couldnât figure it out. He didnât look like anyone Iâd seen anywhere before.
âThatâs Angelo Testa, consider him like a billionaire.â Lania waved at him and smiled. Keyshawn nodded in the little manâs direction. A few of the girls with him looked familiar. I assumed they were models or actresses. One in particular stayed plastered to his side. She was shorter than the others, thick and light skinned. I couldnât make her face out completely but I thought it was the girl from âPon de Replayâ? Maybe. Every video Iâd ever seen ran through my head but I only got to see her for a split second before the curtains were drawn and they were having their own private party, in there doing Lord knows what. Ris was zoned out so I couldnât ask her where the hell Iâd seen the girl before. Eight different security guys stood guard outside around the booth and I must admit I was impressed. Lania suggested we all get up and dance, but I realized I needed to pee so bad I couldnât sit still anymore.
âLania, hold on, whereâs the restroom?â
âIâll take you; itâs hard to explain and I have to go too.â
Ris looked like she was on the verge of passing out at the table. She either said she did or didnât have to pee, I couldnât tell. But she didnât get up so I guessed it wasnât a yes. Itâd been awhile since weâd drunk together and I was gonna have so much fun reminding her in the morning that sheâd lost her touch. There would definitely be no tricks tonight; she was in no position to show me anything.
Chanel and Keisha said theyâd wait for us at the table. I followed Lania through a maze of booths and a blur of familiar faces Iâd seen on TV. She waved and made small talk and I tapped her on her shoulder, reminding her that this was urgent.
The bathroom was just as luxurious as the VIP
