❦After Party - Don Toliver❦

^Ricardo^
-------

I'M STARING AT AALIYAH while she walks down the catwalk in her beautiful long white dress. She then turned around and walked back.

Smiling, I clapped my hands because all the models started walking out one of them being Bella Hadid.

Everyone around us started clapping too.

''She did amazing,'' Estefania leaned in and said that. I nodded.

After the show Aaliyah texted Estefania telling her to her in the back. And we did. We got to the back and saw Aaliyah talking to one of the models there.

Aaliyah smiled when she saw us and said bye to the model.

"Oh my God, that was so good!" Estefania exclaimed and pulled Aaliyah into a hug.

"You did great," I spoke when Estefania pulled away and it was my turn to hug her.

Aaliyah smiled. "Thank you guys," she said. "Let me get ready and then we can leave the event and go to the After Party," she said.

"You guys go. I will go to the hotel," I gave them an assuring toothless smile.

"Are you sure? Do you want us to come with you?" Aaliyah asked and I shook my head.

"It's fine. Go and have fun," I said bye to them and left the event with a big grin on my face.

I'm so proud of Aaliyah. She got what she wanted for so long. I feel like a proud Mom who just saw their child walk for the first time.

My Uber came after a few minutes and drive me to the Hotel. I planned on chilling the night by watching Netflix and ordering something from the Hotel service.

Last night, I couldn't sleep because of the letter I got yesterday night. I knew exactly who it was but that still freaked me out.

He stopped texting me right after I left America which I was happy about. But now he's back.

I haven't told anyone about the letter last night. I didn't want to ruin Aaliyah's big day by worrying her.

She has done so much for me the last few years.

The Uber stopped right in front of the hotel and I gave him the money. He drove off and I entered the Hotel.

I mouthed 'hi' to the woman behind the desk and walked up to the elevator. In front of the elevator were a woman and a tall man. I stood right behind the woman and waited for the elevator to arrive.

Once it did, we all entered it and clicked on the floor button.

I leaned onto the metal thing of the elevator because I was so tired.

I didn't join Aaliyah and Estefania at the After Party because I hate parties. That never changed since High School. And when I go to a party it's because I want to get wasted.

Drinking was never something I would have thought I would do. But when I entered University, I started drinking now and then with friends and family.

It never got to a point where I would consider myself addicted to it. I occasionally drink some wine with Aaliyah after a long day at work.

The ding of the elevator brought me back to reality and I saw it was my floor that I had to go to.

Once the door opened, I exited the elevator and so did the man. I walked up to my door and was about to open it when a hand was placed right in front of my face onto the door.

I lifted my head and turned it to the side to see who it was and my eyes widened.

Back away a few steps while he had a smirk on his face.

"Hello, Bella," Ricardo stepped a step closer towards me which made me back away again.

"Missed me?" he whispered. My back hit the wall behind me and I cursed the wall in my head.

"What do you want?" I spat. He took two steps closer to me and leaned in beside my ear.

"I thought it was obvious? I want you," he whispered which made me jerk my head away from him.

I placed my hand onto his chest and pushed him away from me. "Get the fuck away from," I yelled. He still had this stupid smirk on his lips while licking them. His eyes roamed my whole body which made me regret my choice of clothing for tonight.

I had a thought black dress on with thin straps.

Running away wasn't an option because I had high heels on.

"Is that how you treat an old friend?" he whispered right in front of my face while his eyes lingered on my lips. 

I scoffed. "We are not friends,"

He chuckled deeply and came closer with his face. "You're right. We are more than that," his hands traveled down my arm and made a halt right at my hips. He gripped my hips tightly and pulled me closer to him. I tried to push him away but his other hand gripped my hand and slammed it onto the wall.

"I can't understand how Axel could leave you. He just can't see what he missed," he smirked.

"Axel had his reasons to leave me but that doesn't mean he didn't treat me right while we were in a relationship," I narrowed my eyes at him while his eyes moved down to my chest.

"But he still left you. That means you never were important to him," he chuckled.

God, I wish I could just punch his stupid smirk away from his ugly face.

"That's not true," I whispered.

I know I was important to him.

He chuckled again and brushed the hair strand out of my face.

"Sweetheart, if you were important to him, he would be here right now,"

I had enough. I pushed him away. "Leave me alone!" I yelled at him.

"Is there a problem here?" a voice said and I looked behind Ricardo's shoulder, seeing a tall security guy standing there.

"Ye-" Ricardo cut me off. "No, I'm just arguing with my girlfriend," he said. The man furrowed his brows and narrowed eyes at Ricardo.

He then moved his eyes to me to see if that was true.

"He isn't my boyfriend. He's bothering me. Can you get him out of here please?" I asked and he nodded.

"Sir, can you please follow me?" he polarity asked but Ricardo was too busy glaring at me with narrowed eyes and clenched jaw.

"Sir, please follow me now!" the security guard ordered but this time with a stern tone.

Richard gave me one last glare before he followed the security guard.

Before he turned to the corner he turned around and smirked while mouthing...

'This isn't over!'

Shorter Chapter sorry about that. I'm currently at work in my lunch break and I wrote this Chapter.
The next chapter is going to have a time jump. Not much just a week. I literally don't have anything to write and I want some drama so I decided to write the Ball scene on the next Chapter.
