EPISODE 14.
The beautiful sun rose, and the ciphers of birds were heard. The sleeping beauty stretched herself on the bed , a knock on the door made her stand up as she proceeded to open it.
Her mom standing all dressed up ready to go to work. Rita observes her daughter whose hair is a mess, her face pups out and her eyes heavy, she still needs to sleep, Rita places a kiss on her forehead as she mouthed.
"Am off to work, your breakfast is in the freezer,." Diana let out a slow nod with out saying anything.
As her mom proceeds to leave, she grabs her arm, stopping her on track. She remembers she has plans today with Sia, if her mom leaves without getting the go ahead permission, she will miss the fun.
Noticing Diana is taking time to let out her words, she frowns, wondering if everything is okay.
"Anything the matter." She asked.
"Huh..?, oh.., it's just.. ahhh." She bites her lower lips as words become difficult to utter, but still she continues finding her strength.
"Mom, will you permit me to go to a night party with my friends?." She Said. Rita notices her daughter hesitant as she struggles to put her words together.
"I prefer day parties, not nights , you aren't allowed to go." Rita stated firmly.
"But, my friend already made plans, she promised to pick me up if I convince you of it, mom, please let me have this once fun." Rita signs out as she gives it a thought. Just once.
"On my condition."
"What is it?." Diana Asked.
" I don't care who this your friend is, whether a girl or boy, I don't care to know, as long as you take someone I trust with you." Rita replies.
"Who." Diana Asked.
"Am talking about Bryan, since he's in town why not take him with you." Rita replies.
"But.." Diana wince knowing if she doesn't agree to her mom's suggestion, she won't be going anywhere tonight.
"Okay, I will take Bryan with me.."
"Good, and when is your friend picking you up?." asked Rita.
"Around seven pm." She replies, Rita nods.
"I will be home then, and if I wasn't home early, make sure not to spend more than six hours there."
"Sure mom." Rita places a kiss on her forehead before leaving for the office. Diana signs out as she goes back to her room straight to the bathroom to recreate herself.

A leg was winging in the air, as the female laid carelessly on her bed with her mobile place on the pillow. She was on a FaceTime call with Sia.
"So she agreed." Asked Sia whose excitement wasn't lacking.
"Yeah, it took some time, but she did." Diana giggles.
"Aww, can't wait to pick you up, remember to put on something sexy, you know . All eyes on me.."
Diana burst out laughing, this is her first time going to a night party and she wonders how it will surely feel to meet different people and have fun knowing that nothing matters other than what you are enjoying.
"I wish I could, but I don't have any sexy dress, I don't go out for partying or any occasion so how am I supposed to have any." Explains Diana, Sia was speechless listening to her, was she really serious about not having any fashionable dress for the night.
"So what are we to do now? Nothing to wear is that..., not fashionable." Sia winced.
"I have my church wear, it's good for it." Replies Diana, Sia chuckle.
"No way, you know what, I am bringing some of my new clothes for you to pick some of the pretty ones you like." Sia suggested.
"Okay then." Diana slowly agrees even though she is trying to object to her suggestion, remembering that Bryan will also tag along. She first has to tell Sia if it's okay.
"A friend of mine is tagging along, mind if he joins, mom says that if I don't take him with me, I shouldn't go to the party., so....".
"So you can bring him, hope he is handsome. Like cute, cold, darling.." Sia's description was funny as she got Diana laughing, while Sia pouted out. " Don't make fun of me Diana, I just want to know if it's a creep that is tagging with us." She said, whispering the last part.
"Since he is coming, why not find out for yourself, maybe then you will decide on what he looks like." Said Diana. Sia signs out, giving a nod.
"Okay then, okay..." She signs again."will be coming to make you up, so be ready." She continues.
"What time?." Asked Diana who adjusted herself on the bed, seating comfortably.
"Any time, babe." Sia was dissatisfied with the call after that. Diana stood up from the bed walking out of the room, placing a call on Bryan.
•••
A knock was heard as Diana processed to open it. There stood a female dressed in all fancy wear, a very short dark black gown. She was putting on red heels, her hair styled perfectly, with heavy makeup on.
"Don't you think this is too much for a night party?" Diana asked, Sia scoff shifting her aside walking inside with her heels that echoes in the house.
It's then drawn to her that there were a bunch of shopping bags with her . Did she go shopping before coming here?
"What are the bags for?" Diana asked, banging the door.
"Oh.., it's for the party, this one is full of makeup." She said, raising a blue bag.
"This is full of dresses, the other one is heels and this one, well let's just say it is for you personally." She replies seating on the sofa, Diana gives an unsure nod looking at the five bags on the table.All this stuff for a night party, I won't be spending much hours in.
"Have you freshened up?" Came Sia's voice, which snaps her out of her thoughts,she looks up to her with gentle nods.
"Yes I have." Diana replies.
Sia claps her hands together with a quick stand on the sofa.
"Good, let's get this started." She said, handing some bags to Diana, as she watched Sia proceed upstairs.
"How do you know that's where my room is?. She asked trailing behind Sia who had already entered the room.
"Well else could your room be if not here." Sia replies. "Come on seat on the stool." She continues.
