The ball

I grasp the material in the palms of my hands, like Mulberry silk. The fabric reminded me of water as it flowed through my fingers, I longed to put it on my body.

"It's gorgeous, I have to have it," I whisper as I finally look up at the woman, I see her looking at me, a smile dancing on her lips, "please try it on" she replies as she points towards the changing room and guides me towards the door.

I quickly make my way in just taking off my shirt considering I don't have underwear under my boxers.

Slipping my body through the dress, feeling the material against my skin felt magical, fitting like a glove around my body, like it was made by the moon goddess herself specifically for me.

As I examine myself in the mirror not even recognizing the gorgeous person standing in front of me, confidence exuded from the dress, I felt powerful.

"How much is it?" I asked the lady.

"$5000"

My eyes widen and disappointment sinks into my soul.

"For you though, how about I give it to you for free and you'll owe me something. You are special Bonnie. More than you will ever know and when the time comes I will call upon you to fulfill your destiny."

I look at her quizzingly, her words running through my mind. "I would rather just pay you," a nervous laugh slipping out of my mouth.

"I won't hurt you little one. How about you think of this as an investment?" she smiled as she hands me a bag to place the dress into.

I head back into the dressing room, taking the dress off and placing the dress into the bag weighing my options. I doubt I would ever actually see her again so if I think about it, I just got a 5000 dollar dress for absolutely nothing. It's a win-win situation for me, right?

I really hope I'm not wrong.

I say a quick thank you to her and quickly skedaddle out of the store.

Checking my phone I see that I have less than 6 hours to finish getting ready since the ball starts at 8. Where did the time go? I could have sworn I went into the shop at like 12 but it's like 2pm now and oh shit I am about to be late for my hair appointment.

Running to the hair salon out of breath and wheezing, I really needed to work out more. I sat down in the chair and asking for a half up half down hairstyle and a wash because the rat's nest I have going on is not cute. Then I head over to the nail and makeup salon and get these gorgeous black nails with gold flecks, not before getting a well-needed manicure from all the dirt built up, a black smoky eye with a gold cut crease, and to top it off a simple glossed lip and lined with a black lip liner.

After paying for everything I got done, I head over to the hotel room I booked earlier this morning and check the time I am right on schedule. I take a quick bath praying not to mess up my makeup because goddess knows I cannot do any of this shit myself.

Hopping out of the bath and ordering room service I take a quick bite of a ham and cheese sandwich and sip of my sprite before slipping on my dress careful not to smudge my makeup. I finished my look with a simple gold necklace together with some black and gold heels that I bought earlier.

Reapplying the lip gloss I look at myself in the mirror and damn do I look good, I then grab my phone and leave the room.

As I step into the elevator, I see a couple in there, the woman's jaw drops as she scowls at me as her boyfriend eyes me longingly admiring my look. I laugh to myself and flip my hair.

"Black tramp."

My head quickly swivels around as the word slips out of her mouth, my hair slapping her in the face with the motion.

"Hayley, what the hell?" said the boyfriend looking shocked

"Excuse me bitch. I know you did not just say that to me," I say as I ball up my hands controlling myself before I kill a human because I am not about to go to jail right now.

"You heard me, who the hell do you think you are?" said Hayley scoffing.

Smiling brightly, "Ok trash, I am Bonnie White a boss ass black queen who simply walked into this elevator looking fine as hell, my thing is how about you worry about yourself. I can be that tramp and steal your man but I think it's obvious I already have him wrapped around my fingers so," flips hair, "I'll be nice and let you keep him."

Jaws dropped and with a kiss goodbye I stepped off the elevator as it dings opening to the lobby.

I walk confidently out of the hotel, heads turning to me as I step into my awaiting black Aston martin victor rented of course and drive off to the King's castle where the party would be held.

Well now to figure out how I'm about to sneak into that damn castle.
