"What do you mean your wedge is giving you problems?" Tasha questioned

"I don't know dad" Kenzie whined

Kenzie is dressed in a pink long gown and a blue wedge. Her hair is pinned with a silver hairpin. Her neck is adorned with a three-layered blue necklace. Her wrists are not bare, they have silver bangles to occupy them. She's wearing white powder, red lipstick, and blush.

"Help her with that Zen" He added

"Okey-dokey" She responded

"Tom help me hook the bracelet will you?" Tasha inquired

"I don't know about women's ornament. Zendaya, can you help with that?" He added

"Seriously Tom?" Tasha whined

"Zen help your mom out" He added

Tasha is a beauty. She's in a purple sequined lace dress. Her necklace and bracelet are silver. Her beautiful black hair is embellished with two silver hair holding her hair in place from both ends. The tip of her hair is in curls Her feet are in a six heel Luna Silver Glitter shoe. She's wearing heavy makeup; concealer, foundation, red lipstick, blush, eyeliner, eye pencil, and highlighter.

[ After five minutes of struggle with the bracelet]

"Can we leave already?" Tom asked

"You look like a groom dad" Kenzie commented

"Is that a compliment?" He asked buttoning his suit jacket

"Kind of," She remarked

Tom is in a deep blue suit with and white shirt and a red bow tie. He's in a black leather shoe with red stripes. His beard is trimmed revealing his perfectly chiseled jaw. With this look, he doesn't look like the father of two teenage girls but like a groom as Kenzie said.

" Sure. Are the gifts with you Zen?" Tasha enquired

" They're with Kenzie" She responded

"Collect them from her, I can't afford to get new ones" Mom declared

"Dad!!!!!!!!!!!" Kenzie whined

"No offense dear, but it's better that way" He appended

Richard's POV

Location: L&A Event Hall

PHASE TWO

"Hi Zendaya, welcome," I said adjusting my necktie.

No response

"Where are your family members?" I asked

"What's your business with them?" She retorted

"Nothing actually. I thought they should be here" I explained

As she turned to leave, I jumped quickly in front of her

"Not so fast"

"I need an explanation for this crap" She demanded

"Where is your Iv?" I requested

"This party is strictly by invitation" I added

"What a question. You're asking me for what I made. You know I gave the only sample for a review. Why should I be with one?" She yelled

"In your own best interest, keep your voice down or I'll call security" I warned

"What the hell is wrong with you?" She questioned

"Nothing is wrong with me" I retorted

"I've had enough of you having your way. Without an invitation card, yourself, and your family of paupers can't get in. Sorry but no begging to fay, I've had enough of your drama and seductive attributes" I blurted

And then, I felt an unexplainable pressure on my face. It's as if lightning struck directly on it. For a second I could not understand what just happened. I could see going inverted and it happened in slow motion.

Zendaya's POV

"Hi Zendaya, welcome," He said adjusting his.

You don't deserve a response from me

"Where are your family members?" He inquires

"What's your business with them?" I snapped

"Nothing actually. I thought they should be here" He explained

I have to get in, he's not worth my time

As I turned to leave, He quickly came before me

"Not so fast"

"I need an explanation for this crap" I blurted

"Where is your Iv?" He demanded

"This party is strictly by invitation" He explained

As he keeps wasting my time, I want to push him aside and break his spine.

"What a question. You're asking me for what I made. You know I gave the only sample for a review. Why should I be with one?" I yelled

"In your own best interest, keep your voice down or I'll call security" He warned

Wow, call security at a special guest?

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I questioned

"Nothing is wrong with me" He retorted

"I've had enough of you having your way. Without an invitation card, yourself, and your family of paupers can't get in. Sorry but no begging to fay, I've had enough of your drama and seductive attributes" He blurted

My ears must be failing me? Did I just hear correctly?

I made sure I hit him so hard on the face. I did not learn Taekwondo for fun. I want to give him a kick with my legs but this gown won't let me. I did not get a black belt for fun, it's for simpletons like this. My hand shook after I landed it straight on his face.

"What did I hear you say? Are you in your right state of mind? Are you high on alcohol or what? I think it's too early to get drunk What's wrong with you? How dare you speak to me like that? Who do you think you are?" I yelled

"Keep your voice low Zendaya" He declared holding his face

"You're brainsick Richard, you are" I shouted on top of my voice

Just then, Adam ran out of the hall

"What the hell is going on here Zendaya?" He asked

"Richard you can do the talking" I hollered

"Richard what did you do?" He yelled folding his arms

"Nothing, I just followed the Party's rule you gave" He replied

"Come off it! You're joking right?" I added

"I need answers Zen, what's going on?" Adam inquired further

"Richard abused my family. He asked for the IV that I made, I do not have it because I made just a sample and gave it to you. He called us names. I won't take this Adam" I responded

"I've warned you Richard haven't I?"

"I'm very sorry about his behavior" Adam apologized

"He's a jerk, I know that" I responded

"If there's anyone that should not be in this party, it's you and not her"

"Where are your parents anyway?" He added

"They're in" I answered

"Your legs should be killing you, let's get in" He declared

"I'm used to them" I replied looking at my shoe

"May I?" He asked stretching forth his palm

"Sure," I said and slipped mine into his
