Chapter 2:

"Baby",Aaron smiles at me. I roll my eyes. "Baby this is Cassidy. Cassidy this is Lehlani aka the love of my life",He introduces. "Nice to meet you Leh",she calls me a nickname. Who the hell said we were friends for all that.
     I look from Aaron to Cassidy. "Anyways,I just came to tell you I was goin home and i'll see you tomorrow. But it looks like I was interrupting..",I say about to turn away. "Lemme drive you home",he offers. "Nah. She probably needs one more than I do",I fake a smile. I turn and head downstairs. "Girlllllllll",I hear a familiar voice. It's Jaevion. "Hey Jaevion",I hug him. "Why you look so down?",he notices my expression. "It's nothin. I'll get over it",I lie.
        "Okay, well. There's someone I want you to meet. He's straight,single and an entrepreneur.",He explains. "Why does the straight and single part matter?",I ask. "Because he's fine as hell",Jaevion explains. "And why aren't you introducing him to the crew and just me?",I ask. "Who said that? I'm just introducing you two first",Jaevion smirks. Yeah, he's up to something. "Okay here we are...Andre meet Lehlani and Lehlani meet Andre.",Jaevion smiles. "Hi",I wave a little. "Hey",he smiles. "Okay,um ima let y'all get to know each other and ima go find me some free drinks and possibly some free dick",Jaevion says and disappears through the crowd.

                                          ~~~~~~Lahna Pov~~~~~~
       "Why are you trying to fight over me?", I ask almost yelling as he closes the door behind us. "So i'm just supposed to let him touch up on you and let you dance on him like that?",he asks, yelling. "Jay you can't 'let' me do anything! I make my own choices and last time I checked, I was single",I say seriously.
             "Who the hell said that?",Jay says like a dumbass. "Nigga you!",I yell. "Just cause I said it don't mean I was serious",he says in a raspy tone. He lowkey fine when he gets like this but he doesn't gotta know that. "You do this everytime bro",I cross my arms. "Damn so i'm bro now?",he asks, giving me a look. "Ian say all that...",I mumble. "Speak up",he grips my waist. Unt un, we not doin this tonight man. "I'm not doin this tonight Jayvon",I sigh.
   "Doin what?",he eyes me. "This. We always do this.",I rub my temples. "We always do this cause you keep playin wit me.",he grabs my neck hard but not too hard. "Like I won't fuck you up shawdy",he says, one hand gripping my ass. "Do it then",I smirk. Next thing I know i'm on the bed.
                                              ~~~~LeLe~~~~~

            Why does he always do this? Everytime. This is why I can't ever stay in a relationship for more than three weeks. "Le?!",Jae calls for me. "Huh?",I ask, turning around. "Do you see that?",she says pointing to something behind me. "Nah what-",I say turning around. I spot Lani sitting with a guy who looks like the opposite of everyone she hangs around. Not to mention he looks like the opposite of Aaron. He's wearing a blue suit with a nice lil haircut. He cleans up nice and he looks like he smells like oranges. Ion kno, he just does.
     "Oop",I say with a laugh. "She hangin wit nerdy niggas now?",De says suprised. "I'm pretty sure they just met or somethin",Jae adds. "Let's go meet him",I clutch my drink in my hand. We walk over to the pair. "Hey Lani who's your friend?",I ask, approaching my friend. "Oh guys, this is Andre. Andre, this is Lele,Jae, and Demarcus",she introduces with a smile. He waves and we wave and smile back.
          "How do you two know each other?",I ask. "Oh, he's Jaevions friend",she says. "I'm your friend too now. Don't do me like that",he smiles brightly. It's the flirtinggg for me! And she's buying every second of it. "Did you find Aaron?",De asks. "Yep...He's upstairs.",She says with a different tone. I think he hit a nerve...
   "I'm gonna go find Eli..",I say, feeling the tension. I turn away and look through rooms filled with weed,passed out people and liquor. I find Eli's face through a crowd. And he's with a group of girls who barely have any clothes. And look I'm all for a little titty bein shown or some ass bein out but not around what's supposed to be mine.
        "Eli?! What the fuck is this?!",I storm over to him. "Fuck does it look like?",he says with an attitude. Who the fuck is he talkin to. "Who the hell you think you talkin to?",I ask cause he got me all the way fucked up! "What it look like?",he asks,slurring his words. "You drunk?",I eye him. "No",he grunts. He doesn't talk like that... So yeah he td.
             "Give me your keys E",I say with pleading eyes. He is not gonna make good choices right now. "Fuck no",he rolls his eyes. "Sis he said no. Now run along",a rando says. "Look bitch ion know who the hell you are, think you are but i'll real live smack you right now so stop talkin to me",I say. This bitch really gmfu!
   "Give me your keys so you don't act on any dumb ideas.",I say placing my hand out. He laughs, scoffs and goes back to drinking and talking. I'm over niggas. I walk back to my friends,"Y'all I'm gonna see you guys at home later. I'm not really feeling this party",I half truth. Eli gave me a reason not to be feelin this party.
    "Where's Eli?",Jae asks. "Too drunk to think shit out, that's where..",I say before going to find my jacket. I grab my jacket out of the room where everyones coats were and leave out the mansion. The cold chicago chill hits me in the face like a mf bus. Oooo shit, it's cold out here! I zip up my jacket and head down the street. Ooo,I shouldn't have walked in these.
          A black sedan truck pulls up beside me and the window rolls down. God...why tonight. "Aye ma,where you goin this timea' night",the voice says from the truck. SHIT I'M BOUT TO GET KIDNAPPED.
HE BOUTTA SNATCH MY LIL PRETTY ASS UP.
"To my friends house.They're havin a party and they waitin on me",I don't look up ,I just look straight at the street in front of me which isn't that busy. "Lemme give you a ride",the voice says. "Nah.I'm good. My friend said they'd pick me up when I was a few blocks away",I make sure he knows i'm not frightened just in case he tries something.
      "Come on, ion bite shawty. Unless you want me to",I can feel his eyes burning holes into my side. "Look dude. I said no. I'm fine",I say seriously. He stops his truck and stares me down. I feel a familiar rough arm around my shoulder. "Bae this dude botherin you?",I hear Cj. I look up to see him towering me. He is still so damn fine. I don't understand bruh.
               "Yeah.",I say lookin up at him. "We not gon have a problem here right?",Cj asks with that smirk on his face, like he knows ol dude ain't bout shit. "Nah, we ain't gon have a problem",the guy says, pulling off. "Thank you",I say, taking off the brave face I put up. "Anytime mama",he says with a smile. His arm still over my shoulder,he so damn protective. "Um, why you out here alone?",he asks. "Because I wanted to go home",I loosen up. "And why isn't 'Elijah' walking you home or better yet, why isn't he drivin you home cause I know your feet hurtin",he mocks Eli's name while smilin at me.
       "Um he is not in a driving state and wouldn't give me the keys so I was unable to drive us both home. Which meant I had to walk in this cold ass weather.",I vent with a fake happy smile. "You sure do know how to pick em",he says snarkily. I punch his chest lightly. "Um, ouch",he rubs his chest. "I picked you didn't I?",I say with a smirk. "You got a point there",he laughs.
               "You need a ride home?",he asks. "I can walk Cj.",I say with a slight smile. "Okay then, let me walk you home.", he offers. "Yeah, you can drive me home Cj. But only cause my feet are in pain.",I say honestly.
                                     ~~~~~~~Jae~~~~~~~
  "Bae",I smile at Demarcuses fine ass. "Wassup?",he asks, turning from Dylan and Tavon to me. "When we gone get out of here?",I ask, whispering in a seductive voice. He looks at me and bites his lip. "When I say we gone mamas",he whispers back,matching my energy. "Who's this?",We look up to see a confused Aaron.
          "He's my new friend. Aaron this is Andre,Andre this is Aaron. My boyfriend",Lani introduces with a smile. "Okay I got my coat, i'm ready",a lightskin girl comes up behind him. She look like an off brand  Dani Leigh except her curls are brown instead of blonde. "Oh y'all this is Cass. Cass this is De, Jae, Dylan, Tavon, and you met Lani already.",he smiles. I know my cousin and her face says it all. She's internally screamin.
           "Y'all ima go drop Cass at her place and i'll be back for Lani.",Aaron announces. "Don't bother I can get home by myself",she says with a fake smile. "What're you talking about?",he asks. "I'll be fine by myself.Just take her home",she smiles like she's calm. Ooo, she got that crazy look in her eye. "Can I talk to you for a second?",Aaron pulls her up.
   The two go bicker in the corner. I see some girl eyeing Demarcus from afar. "Do they like what the fuck they see? Cause they starin at you real hard",I say with slight attitude but not towards Demarcus. He follows my eyes to the three girls all whispering to each other and looking back from each other to Demarcus.
            He laughs a little. "Let's give em sum to stare at then Mamas",he grips my waist. He pulls me closer and kisses me. I mean sloppy kisses. Like somethin you show somebody to make sure everyone knows that person is yours! He's kissin me up and down my neck. I'm pretty sure I have a few hickies on me now.
                                       ~~~~~Aaron~~~~~~~
   "What the hell is ya problem?",I let go of her wrist. "Fuck do you mean is my problem. I literally told you that you should take her home",Lani says calmly. "Then why you actin like that?", I ask lost . "Acting like what? I just said that I'd be fine and you didn't have to come get me.",she rolls her eyes. I clearly can tell that she has an attitude. "Ya know I know you better than you think right?",I squint my eyes.
        "Or you think you do. Cause if you did you'd know- Nvm forget about it. Just go ahead Aaron",she brushes past me. Yep that's it. I don't understand women once so ever! "Aii y'all i'll hit y'all later.",I dap up De,Dylan and Tavon and Cass grabs onto my hand.
                                         ~~~~~~~~~Jae~~~~~~~~~~
                 Aaron leaves and Lani stands up quickly. "Yeah. Fuck this shit! You need me, I'll be throwing back shots wit Millie!",she says,heads to the bar, grabs three shots and heads off to find Millie I guess. Lahna walks over to us and sis is limpin. "You aight?",I ask. "Yep, fine",she smiles. Yeah sis look exhausted...eww.
    "Alright I got my aggression out",Jay joins by her side. "Y'all are gross",I make a disgusted face. "My man",Dylan daps up Jay. "Speakin of pent up aggression, I have some of my own to work out so i'll see y'all later.",Dylan says. "It better not be that yamagashi girl",I roll my eyes. "You got no chill bruh",he laughs. He knows damn well ian like that yahoo bitch. Her weird ass. And on top of that, who the hell is named yameda? Like tf?
        "Tavon, why don't you go find you a girl?",I ask s. "Um, yea see no.",he says quickly. Tavon is more on the shy side if anything. "Fine, Let me put you on with Militon then.",I offer. "I told you I don't want anything serious. And Militon is a lot to handle",Tavon smiles. "You smilin tho. I sense a uh feeling of liking him",I add on.
             "Um babymomma, where is my wifey?",Lahna comes up to me. "I honestly don't know. Her last words to us were, 'Yeah. Fuck this shit! You need me I'll be throwing back shots wit Millie!'. And then she walked off.",I  recall. "Well ima go find her cause y'all mfs is borinnn",she says. "Actually i'm gonna tag along",I smile, and follow her lead of getting up.
     "You wanna play pool?",I ask. "Yeah fa sure",she smiles. We head to the pool room, but we hear loud cheerin and shit. We enter the room and Lani is dancin on the table with her shirt off.
                                 ~~~~~Lahna~~~~~
      Can't take this hoe nowhere mane. "Lani get your ass off the damn table!",Jae orders. "No!"Lani slurs and  continues to dance to the Rihanna playing. "At least put your shirt back on. There are horny assholes in this room who have been drinking not a good mix",I voice.
         "Let em be like that then. It's not like ima fuck em",she slurs and continues dancing. "Maybe we should call Aaron to come get her",Jae says. "No! He's probably fuckin that dani leigh bitch",she rolls her eyes and continues to dance. "Who is she talkin bout?", I ask confused. "I'll tell you later",Jae mumbles. "Girl come on. You had way too much to drink",I try to help her down.
                            ~~~~~~~~~~LeLe~~~~~~~~~
              "Jesus. I missed my tennis shoes",I say as we step out of CJ's car. "How you look good and comfy?",he asks. "Cause i'm just cut like that",I smile. "Yeah, aii. You ain't cut like shit",he denies. "Now we both know that ain't true",I roll my eyes. "Isn't it tho?",he says tryna be funny. "Stop, cause you know I be makin moves",I smile as we walk into the seven eleven.
    It's like mad chill in here.
                                   *
         "Why do you always do that?",I ask. "Do what?",he asks. "You always homewreckin",I laugh a little. "I just know you don't belong with bitch ass niggas",he shrugs. "You tryna say I have a type?",I chuckle. "So every nigga that I date, that isn't you is a bitch huh?",I turn to him on the couch in my room."Yep. Pretty much",he swigs his drink.
       "You can't do that Cj",I roll my eyes. "Why not?", he asks, not looking at me. "Because it's toxic. And you don't know what the hell you want",I say seriously. "Nah, I know what I want. And I know what you want.",He says in a raspy voice and looks over at me. "Oh do you now?",I narrow my eyes. "And how do you know that?",I smirk. "Cause every nigga that you 'get' look like me",he slides closer to me. "Un Huh",I nod and cock my head to the side.
   "Baby if you want the real thing, then just say that",he says grippin my thigh. "Cj go somewhere",I roll my eyes. "Why baby?",he asks with a confused look. "Don't 'baby' me nigga. And I have a nigga",I push his hand off my thigh. "Mf, i'm your nigga",he says. He leans over me and starts makin hickies all over my neck. "Cj..st-",It feels so good I can barely tell him stop. Cj kisses me slowly and looks deep into my eyes. "Look me in my eyes and tell me that you want that off brand ass nigga.",he says,towering over me.  The night's events flow back into my head. When Cj is drunk like Eli was,he's lovey dovey to me and never wants me to go. But Elis type of drunk is something I don't wanna be around.
               I don't say anything. "I thought so",he smirks and picks me up off the couch. I lock my hands behind his neck and wrap my legs around his waist as we make out.
