Oakland, CA. 10:30PM

Kehlani danced with Hayley to the beat of an old reggae song. They were relatively close, body to body. Tyler's clubs were always packed but not as packed as tonight. It was his 5th anniversary of his first club, so everyone was here. The entire friend circle from Zendaya to Earl. Though everyone was in the VIP section, Kehlani and Hayley were on the dance floor. Her hands were on Hayley's waist as she winded down on her hips.

Though they weren't together and strictly just friends, Kehlani knew that she was not going home alone tonight. The looks they were giving were purely lustful. It felt intense. A big part of her felt like this was going to be something between the two. Hayley set down boundaries, but they were going to break them even more.

Hayley sipped from her bottle of beer and then kissed Kehlani's lips.

"Girl..." Kehlani licked her lips, trying to savor the sweetness. "What are you doing to me?"

"What do you want me to do?" Hayley winked.

Tyler danced his way to the two, with a cigar and a big glass of el presidente. He put an arm around Kehlani. "Somebody's here for you."

"Me?" Kehlani asked. Then she recalled she invited Megan to the party. Her heart began to beat a little bit. She blinked at Hayley and felt nervous. "Oh..."

"She up there with us. I gotta say, she looking real good tonight." He smirked.

Hayley widened her eyes and looked away. Kehlani grabbed her hand. "Come on, Hayl. This the girl I was telling you about for the film I was planning."

"Oh. Really?" She sounded a little disheartened.

"Yeah," Kehlani said. "She's beautiful. I think you'd like her too!"

They traversed through the crowd of the club as the beat of Biggie's "Big Poppa" played in the background. The scent of alcohol, sweat, and marijuana fumigated throughout the club. Once they got up the steps, Kehlani felt her mouth get dry once she saw Megan. She is was sitting cross-legged next to Tyrone, one of Tyler's other friends. They were talking but once her eyes noticed Kehlani, she turned.

"Yo, shawty." Kehlani smiled. "How you doin'?"

"You saw me 2 hours ago, Lani," Megan giggled. "I'm good, mamas."

"So it's mamas now?"

Megan smirked. "Or you could be Baelani...since you be flirting with me hard."

Hayley coughed as she took a hit off of Tyler's hookah.

"Oh, Megan...this is Hayley. She's one of my old screenwriter buddies," Kehlani said.

"Buddies?" Hayley scoffed quietly.

Kehlani sighed under her breath.

Tyler swallowed. "So...anybody want another round of drinks?"

"I'll take a glass of brandy," Megan said, now not paying Kehlani any attention.

Tyrone nodded. "I'll take the same."

Hayley rolled her eyes and took another hit of tje hookah.

"Tequila," Kehlani said, her drink of choice.

Kehlani got a hit of the hookah while looking at Megan's movements, trying to envision how she wanted the script. Another old song came on and it was "Find A Way" by Tribe Called Quest. She was not looking at Kehlani, talking to everyone as if she'd known them for years. She held people's attention and knew she did. Her hair was up in a high ponytail. Her make up was glimmering underneath the club's blue lights. Kehlani got her glass of tequila and took it to the head.
