"Yes! Or do you really think I'm stupid?! I'll teach you a lesson, Shayenne!"
"Yeah, right. Bye."
"Shayenne, if-" I hung up, cutting him and then turned to the shocked Keisha who burst out laughing.
"Girl! Was that you? Who just dissed Josh Nelson??"
"Yep!" I giggled.
"FINALLY!" she hugged me happily.
"Now you're independent, baby."
"I know." I laughed
"This is great!"
"Hahahaha, I know right. I feel so good right now."
We laughed and continued to chat until I suddenly received a text from Sloane:
-Hey Shayenne, can you come over at five this evening?-
-Sure.- I replied.
-K. Thx hon.-
"Who was that?" Kee asked.
"Sloane. She wants me to come over at five."
"What for?"
"I don't know yet."
"Oh, okay. You'll just use the moment to let Shane know about the breakup."
"Yeah. That's a good idea."
I wondered how he would react when I'd tell him.
***
That evening I went over to Slone's place. The body guard at the door let me in. The hall And living room were empty. I wandered in what part of the huge house she was.
I decided to go upstairs to their private library. To my surprise, I met Shane there. He was reading at a table.
"Uh, Shane?" I called smiling. He turned to me surprised.
"Hey, baby. What are you doing here?" he asked, a big smile across his face as he stood and approached me, "I'm happy to see you."
he admitted and opened his arms for a hug. I hugged him tight.
"I came here cuz–" I cut my sentence in surprise when I felt Shane hand caress its way down my back until he now had his palm resting on my butt cheek through my tight dress. I was still in his arms and didn't know how to react. However, I ended up deciding to act like there was nothing wrong or anything awkward going on, "Um, cuz Sloane call–"
I gasped and couldn't complete my sentence when suddenly, he squeezed my butt cheek slightly. I froze and then tried to get out of his grip but he held me tight, wrapped up in his strong arms. Then I felt his lips close to my ear and he whispered:
"I missed you."
I was quite breathless already and goosebumps covered my skin.
"I–" I tried to say something but we heard footsteps. He slowly let me go and returned to his reading table. As if nothing had happened. Sloane walked in shortly after.
"Hello, Shayenne." she gave me a toothed smile. Even her teeth were perfect. We hugged each other.
"Hi, Sloane." I swallowed and tried to regain my composure.
"Well, I called you here because I needed to give you this."
She gave me some sort of invitation with my name and that of Keisha on it.
"Oh, thank you. But In what honor?"
"I'm organising a party tomorrow night in honor of a new movie produced by Shane. I wanted you to be present."
"Really?"
"Of course." Shane replied from his table.
"Oh, thank you so much."
"No problem. Anyone close to Shane is automatically close to me." Sloane said with a smile.
"I'm happy to hear that. Thank you."
"Yep. All information is already provided in the invitation."
"Okay. Thanks again. Guess I have to be going. I need to find a good dress." I giggled.
"Right. Something sexy." Shane cut in with a wink at me. I gulped because he did that in front of Slone.
"Right. They're gonna be a lot of rich bachelors. I believe you need to find someone." Sloane giggled.
Well, seemed like it hadn't bothered her at all.
"Oh, yeah. Okay." I laughed nervously.
"See you tomorrow night." Shane added in a low voice. Goosebumps again.

The famous night arrived. I was well made up, beautiful and sexy to go. Keisha and I had gone shopping earlier. I bought something simple yet tight. I believed it was perfect for that night.
Keisha too was sexy in her own gown. We were both in black.
After all the preparing, we got a cab and headed for Shane's crib
***
A lot of people were present. We saw all type of cars. There could be at least a hundred invitees or so. I even saw some celebrities. The house was even more beautiful with all decorations. There was even a wine fountain. Wow.
"I'm getting drunk this night." Keisha mused, staring at the fountain. I chuckled.
Just then, I spotted Shane at a distance. He was in a fitting suit and tie. Always in black. Everything black. Whether formal or not he was still damn sexy.
I also noticed Sloane at his side. The beautiful Sloane. She looked like an Oscar in a long white fitting gown. She was so expensive. Her make up and everything looked perfect. Their style of dressing clearly described them. Shane the black angel and Sloane the white one.
"Let's go greet them." Keisha proposed. I nodded to the idea. We approached them.
"Hi" we greeted.
"Hey!" Sloane said happily, "You came! Welcome." she hugged me, then Keisha.
"Yeah. Couldn't miss it."
"Thank you so much."
We turned to Shane.
"Hi Shane."
He smiled.
"Welcome, ladies." he leaned over for a little hug and kissed Keisha's cheek. Then he turned to me and did same. He smelt so good.
"Glad you came." he whispered before letting me go.
"So which movie is it exactly?" I asked Sloane.
"Well it's called Finders. It'll be out on the ninth of the next month."
"That's great. I won't miss it."
"Oh my Gosh." Keisha gasped, "Is that Brian Reynolds??"
Sloane laughed.
"Yeah. I invited him."
He was a known and popular actor.
"He's your friend?"
"Yeah. You wanna meet him?"
"YES!"
"Hahahaha. Then let's go. Excuse me, Shayenne."
"Alright." I laughed.
Sloane guided the excited Keisha through the crowd. I turned to Shane whom I caught checking me out.
