Chapter Seventeen

The exotic ball was exactly two days away and Xenia was still missing. Xa’Naj, Xaylanah, and Ilene had gone to her house plenty of times, but they were never able to catch her. Xaylanah was enraged, but she tried to remain level-headed because the exotic ball was the main concern. Xa’Naj was still stressed the hell out, but she was doing her best to pull it together.

Since the exotic ball took place on her floor, she felt responsible for making sure it was a success. Through all of the bullshit that was going on, Xa’Naj had news that was sure to put a smile on everybody’s face. With Keyon behind her, she walked into the dance studio and watched as the models slayed the routine.

Today was the last day of rehearsals and Xa’Naj was quite impressed with how well the models were performing. She and Keyon patiently waited for the performance to come to an end before they said anything. Once the models concluded the routine, she started clapping.

“Now that’s what the fuck I’m talking ‘bout! That shit was fire!”

“I agree,” Keyon added. “Y’all hot.”

Grace couldn’t help but smile. “I gotta admit that I was nervous, but you girls pulled it together! I feel like a proud mom.”

“I have some good news,” Xa’Naj announced. “Henni, you have officially sold out your first show. Not one damn seat will be empty come performance time.”

“Damn!” Alexis shouted. “You doing numbers already, girl!”

“Congratulations, Hennaci,” Grace smiled with joy. “You came in last minute and still sold out. That’s amazing.”

Henni couldn’t hide the smile that was painted on her face. “I don’t know what to say.”

Xa’Naj laughed. “You know you the shit. Gon’ head and admit it.”

Henni laughed as well. “I guess I’m excited. I mean I didn’t think my pictures would draw in such a large crowd.”

“Girl, bye,” Carsen chimed in. “You know you bad.”

Henni playfully pushed Carsen’s shoulder. She then looked at Xa’Naj and asked, “Can I talk to you in private for a second?”

Xa’Naj replied, “Absolutely. Come up to my office. The rest of y’all can chill out for the rest of the day. The performance I just saw was lit, and I trust that y’all gon’ murder the stage. Go home and get some rest.”

“Shit, you ain’t gotta tell me twice,” Manny said.

“Me either,” Chase added.

“I’ll be right back, Car,” Henni said as she followed Xa’Naj and Keyon out of the room.

They headed for the elevator in silence. Once they got on, Henni stood to the far left while Xa’Naj and Keyon tongued each other down as if they were the only people on the elevator. Feeling extremely awkward, Henni took it upon herself to press XX so that the elevator would head up. When they reached Xa’Naj’s floor, Henni damn near ran off the elevator. Xa’Naj got off next, while Keyon stayed on to ride back down.

“I’ma have that nigga’s baby,” Xa’Naj said. “You watch.”

Henni silently laughed, while she followed Xa’Naj to her office. Once inside, Xa’Naj immediately made herself a drink and offered Henni one.
