Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Quantavius 85

Siroq, was definitely more mature than the dudes I was used to dating, and that's not a knock against them but it definitely was praise for Siroq, damn I was already making the assumption that we were dating when the truth of the matter is we were still in the talking stage. Let me back up though and explain how we got to this point, so it all started when Free took me out to 'celebrate my freedom' his words not mine; honestly, I was just looking for something to numb the emotional pain I was in, so we went to Cleveland. I had no idea what Free had planned but maybe being out of the city would be a good thing for me, the further away from Jace I was, the clearer my thoughts became and I was able to take a hard look at our relationship up until this point. Objectively speaking, I had given everything to this relationship, going as far as to get an apartment outside of Brittany Hills just so we could have our own spot, but dude was extremely childish and I wasn't talking about his feminine ways, you could be feminine without being childish. I was referring to the constant need of attention from other niggas when I literally gave him everything I had, I guess that wasn't enough though so he decided to get more from another nigga... and not just any other nigga but someone who hangs around my brothers, that was crossing a line that it would be extremely difficult to come back from.

"Tay, cheer the fuck up... I brought you up here to have a good time and from the looks of it you're already thinking entirely too much. Aight from this point forward Ol'Boy doesn't exist... you've already given that nigga entirely too much power and tonight you're taking your power back." Free said handing me a bottle, I really didn't drink tequila like that but fuck it. "I've spent a lot of money on tonight so you better have a good time." Free said getting out of the car.

"Mandatory fun is the opposite of fun but aight...." I said following him into the club, how Free managed to get tickets to see King Quille I'll never know and I didn't plan on asking but the club was packed, and just moving through the club was lowkey stressful, I know if 'he' was with me he would just push his way through, which would probably lead to a fight. Then one of those situations where you're thinking about a person and the next thing you know you see them.... at least I thought it was 'that person' but upon further inspection, they looked similar but it clearly wasn't Ja......

"You're thinking about him again..." Free said appearing next to me and pulling me to a clear spot near the stage. The performance was good as fuck and for those twenty to thirty minutes, I didn't think about 'him' once but as Free pulled me to the bar, I spotted that dude again and now that I was closer to him, he didn't look like 'him' as much. One of his friends noticed me looking and tapped the dude to get his attention and then pointed in my direction, he looked in my direction and smiled. "Nigga go talk to him...." Free said nudging me in his direction, as I was building up the courage, the sound of gunshots rang throughout the club and of course people took off towards the exit.

"I was having a good time but that shyt kinda ruined my night." I said as we fought our way through traffic trying to get the fuck away from the club. "Aight, I'm ready to head back to the city." I said already over this night, but Free just laughed.

"Nah, we still got two more stops, I've spent a lot of money to make sure you have a good time and I plan on riding this out until the finish line." Free said hitting a secret compartment under his dashboard and handing me $500 in ones. "I'm stepping out of my comfort zone on this one so you better have a good time or at least act like you're having one."

We pulled up to a place called Royce's and it wasn't as packed as the last place but there were still a lot of cars outside. We sat there waiting (which I didn't understand) but as we did, I noticed that there were nothing but men entering the club.... let me not say that, there were some women but they were always in groups of feminine dudes so that mixed with the money Free had give me let me know what our next stop would be. We finally walked inside and Free wanted to sit in there very back, but he picked this so if this was what I thought it was then I wanted to be front and center.
