"I think I'll stick to the Americans."
"Now, don't be racist now. There are some great Spanish men as well and I heard from one of the nurses at the hospital that Jamaican men are keepers."
I laugh, "I wasn't being racist. I was just generalizing. I actually love Spanish men, Jamaicans, I'm not too sure about."
"Sweetheart, I just want you to be happy."
"I am happy."
.......
"Girl hurry up." I ran over to my bag and grab it. Iris and Brandon were not the waiting type.
"I'm coming. I'm waiting on the elevator." I lied. I'm not even out the door yet.
"No, you're not. I hear barking." I frown, and I didn't even hear the noises the puppies were making.
Little traitors.
"I'm coming." This time I spoke the truth. I close my apartment door and walked down the hall to the elevator. When I entered a teenage boy was in there with his bike and like regular teenagers these days, he ignored me and was on his phone until we reached the ground floor.
I open the back-seat door of the Benz and entered the waiting vehicle.
"Are you late for court too?" Brandon asked a little annoyed.
I rolled my eyes and answered, "Only if my client is a dick-head like you."
Iris starts to laugh and turn to look at me with her thumb up, "Good one."
"Whose side are you on?" Brandon questioned his girlfriend as he starts the engine.
Iris lifts her hands, "Hey, I'm neutral in every argument."
Brandon mumbles something then drove out of the apartment.
"By the way. Where are we going?" I had just got back from the office when they call, this was Iris's exact words. "Girl get ready, we're coming for you." then she hung up. It was a bad habit of hers that I had gotten used to.
"To a party." She responded cheerfully.
I around to the front of the car. Brandon's left hand was on her leg while the other on the wheel. I rolled my eyes and looked through the windscreen.
"Whose party?" Not like I would know anyways. Brandon and Iris were from the business world, they hang out with business people and I'm from the law world I hang out with Iris and Brandon who are from the business world. Boring life, yeah.
The only lawyer in my firm that I would consider close friends it would be Lucio and Bennett. Lucio hadn't linked in a while because of both our busy schedule. Lucio was cool, handsome and every girl's dream, but he wasn't into girls. Bennett was very kind and sweet but he was married.
"Saga Saint."
I knit my brows. That name was just hideous! Were his parents having an argument at the hospital? Why else would you name your child Saga Saint?
I had no idea who he was anyways. Deciding not to ask the couple any more questions I pulled out my phone and I checked if I got any text messages and I didn't, so I went on Instagram to occupy my time.
We stopped in traffic, so I looked out my window and realize we were on the George Washington Bridge. Curiosity was killing me so asked. "Where does Saga Saint lives?"
"Englewood, New Jersey. We're almost there."
I nod my head even though she couldn't see me.
I was on my way to New Jersey to a party of a man with a ridiculous name.
I need to get some more friends. Friends from my world who I can share lawyer jokes with because If I ever hear a next business man joke I will die.
Literally.
I love Iris and Brandon dearly, but their scene wasn't for me. Even though I went everywhere with them. I'll always be left alone because I don't know anyone in business and I didn't know anything about business. I only business that needs to care about are my clients and there wasn't a lot of legal things when it came to them. Just contracts, some law suits and that was about it.
I remember when I was in high school how much friends I had and then after high school, everyone left and went to their separate schools. Some got married and had babies. They all moved on to bigger, greater things, at least most of them.
I've come to realize the older I got the fewer friends I started to have.
I could really tell if that was a bad thing or a good thing because sometimes I'm really lonely but other times I see what happens with friends and all the drama and I'm like I don't need that.
"We're here!" Iris shouted. I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't know what was happening around me. Iris even seems a little too excited about this party.
I looked through the window at the big mansion in few. The driveway of the mansion was full of all types of expensive cars, including sports cars.
Following Brandon and Iris, I opened my door and exit the car. Iris walked over to me and grabbed my arms. We follow closely behind Brandon was look at the cars as we passed them. Even I was used to this, I was still amazed at what millionaires and billionaires did with their money.
When we reach the door, Iris let go of my hands then turn to me. "Oh, I forgot to tell you." when entered the mansion she looked around then turn back to me, "We invited Seth as well."
At the sound of his name, my eyes widen. "No!"
I should have known Iris would have tried something like this. I should have never told her what happened between Seth and I.
Now she was forcing me to hang out with him by bringing me to a mansion which was full of strangers.
Just great!
"Yes. It was Brandon's idea." Iris said trying to pin her action on her boyfriend.
