Free The Prince Of Highland Park by Marilyn Faith Page A

my hoo-ha.
     
    Just leaving the mall and heading back home. I was right to think the mall was going to be a nightmare, because it was.  Even though I’m so tired from walking all over that place, I am happy that I found something to wear after that torture.  The music’s playing and I’m getting pumped up to go out and have a wild time.  Looking at the time, it’s now six o’clock; as soon as I get home I have to start getting ready.  These particular friends of Brent’s are his fraternity brothers or something like that, so they are not from around our side of town.  Brent was one of my brother’s best friends. Even though his parents have money, he doesn’t act like the snobs at the club; he’s real and down to earth.  His friends where he lives used to turn up their noses when they saw us at his house, but he didn’t give a shit what anyone thought, and he was not afraid to let them know. So over the years they left it alone knowing they could not break the bond between my brother and him.
     
    The excitement o f seeing everyone is setting in, I can’t wait to shake this ass of mine, it is well overdue.  Brent is coming to pick up Jules and me from my house so we can drink and let go.  Jules is already here prancing around like miss runway model.  I called to her, stopping her mirror modeling.
     
    “Brent’s here, let not make him wait as usual.”  I ran to the door opening it before he could ring the doorbell.  When he sees me his eyes pops out. I’m wearing a tight sleeveless, open back blue dress, paired with white pump.  “Wow there sexy! You’re looking hot Ev; not that you don’t normally…you know what I’m trying to say. I better warn the boys that we might be getting into some fights tonight.”   He said throwing his arms around me. “Always the charmer huh Brent, well, no fighting; I’m going to enjoy myself to the full extent of my abilities. Now if you or the others disrupt that in any way, I’ll have your balls. Got me?” I say leaning closer so he gets my meaning. “Well when you put it like that, I hear you loud and clear.”  He laughs holding his hands up in surrender. 
    “Ok good ! Now that we are all clear let’s go get our party on, what do you say Jules?” I ask walking toward Brent’s car.  Smiling while patting Brent on the back Jules turns and says, “Lead the way sister.” We all jump into the car and headed out. Jules calls the others making sure we were all heading out at the same time.  When she gets off the phone she informs us that everyone is now heading to the party, so we should arrive around the same time.
     
    Brent found a parking spot right in front of the house where the party is happening.  The cars you see lining the road is beyond real, looking around I’m beginning to feel out of place again, like I did when I pulled up at Ryan’s party, and I hate that feeling. As we were about to go inside I hear my name, I turn around and there were Travis, Eric and Jack walking towards us.  As they reach me Travis lifts me in a spinning hug.  “I missed you girl!  It’s been too long since I held you in my arms,” he jokes kissing my cheek. “Leave my girl alone, and go find your own,” pipes Jack.  Before Eric or anyone else got a chance to say anything, I walk over and hug Jack and Eric saying “I knew I missed you guys, but so you all know, you’re all my guys so no need for the jealousy.”  They all laughed, while Brent throws in, “You still know how to shut them down, don’t you Ev?”
    “Even though I love all this attention boys, let’s go in. The girls should be here already.
    Let us go see who is already here” Pulling me in to a hug, Travis says
    “ Lets’ go, our girl is here to party! What about you Jules? Are you planning on being wild tonight?” 
    “You know it , I’m not driving so you know what that means,” she answered. “Ok people let’s remember we are not allowed to drink so please, let’s us
