pants that I got in New York last week and a cream cami with a pink sweater and brown heels.”
“That sounds cute. I wish you would have told me you were really getting dressed, I would have went out and bought something new too.”
“I told you Terry was having a birthday party; you should have known better.”
“All right now, you drinking tonight?”
“Yes, girl, I am. You know I don’t drink and drive, not after what happened to Jason, Kevin or even Terry himself.”
“Oh, you’re spending the night, then?”
“Yes, girl, you know my motto: I came with you and I’m leaving with you.”
“Well, let me get back to work. I’ll see you when I get home.”

“Yo, JR, you ready?” Angela shouted as she sprayed herself with perfume.
“I’m ready.”
“Okay, let’s go. You drive because I don’t know where I’m going.”
“You live off Lenox and you still don’t know your way to Buckhead?”
“I didn’t know it was in Buckhead.”
“I said Club Shadows.”
“Girl, I can’t keep up with these clubs and their names. They change names like every month or so.”
“Girl, you crazy, give me the keys,” I said to Angela as I took her keys and started her car.
Within eight minutes we were at the club and it was packed.
“Damn, do you see Terry anywhere?” Angela said as she closed the car door of her 2001 Nissan Sentra.
“Girl, it’s midnight on the eve of his birthday; he’s inside getting drunk, at least that’s what I would be doing if I was him.”
“Yo, JR, what’s up?” a guy shouted, running up to me and Angela as we were crossing the street.
“Hey, love, what’s up?”
“How have you been? You’re looking good tonight. Yo, you good, right?” he said, making sure I had a way inside the club without any issues.
“Yeah, we good.”
“Yo, I got to run to the car for a sec, I catch you inside, a’right?”
“You good, I see you inside.”
“Yo, who was that?” Angela asked before we made it to the front door.
“Girl, I don’t know, probably one of Terry’s friends. Girl, I told you if I call any guy love, dude, babe, sweetie, honey, pumpkin or anything crazy like that, that means I don’t know or can’t remember their real name. You know my memory is bad,” I said as Angela busted out laughing.
“Girl, you crazy.”
“Yeah, but you still love me.”
“Excuse me, everyone needs to make one line and leave the sidewalk clear before anyone is getting in,” the bouncer shouted.
“Hey, Cassie, what’s up?”
“Yo, JR, what’s up, girl? She’s good.” Cassie flagged the bouncer that I was good to get in.
“She is with me,” I said to the bouncer, letting him know that Angela was also good.
“Yo, Cass, Terry upstairs, right?”
“Hey, girl, he’s upstairs.”
“How much longer you at the door?”
“I’ll be here until one; then I’ll be partying with you guys,” Cassie said as she placed neon green wristbands on Angela’s and my wrists.
“Thanks, I’ll see you upstairs.”
As we began to walk upstairs to locate my play-brother, I double-checked with Angela to make sure she had her cell phone just in case anything happened, or if we lost each other in the club, she could call me.
“I got it,” she said, squeezing her purse to prove it was in there.
“Terry, happy birthday, baby,” I said as I ran over to say hi to my brother.
“It’s about time.”
“Don’t start with me, I’m here, ain’t I?”
“Alright, alright, oh, my bad, what’s up, Angela?” He turned to me and said, “Why you always bring her?” trying to whisper but was talking loud enough that I knew Angela heard him.
“Stop it,” I said as I grabbed his hand and we all began walking into the back of the club to his VIP section.
“I was waiting for you before we toast. Yo, Al, E, Mo, T, bring everyone over so we can finally toast my birthday, nigga,” Terry said after calling, like, every letter of the alphabet and not calling anyone
