Birthday Pt. 2

Anthony 👻💙
Come outside

My heart and stomach had butterflies swarming but my brows furrowed in confusion. Seeing his name pop up gave me a little joy honestly. I missed him and I didn't think he would come. I'm sure he was giving a heads up about my party but I know he don't do parties.

"I'll be right back." I shouted to Chrissy over the music.

"Where you going?" She asked and I showed her my phone of Anthony's message. She smiled, laughing, making me chuckle. "Okay then. Have fun."

I made my way to the kitchen to dump my plate. Then I made my way to the front of the house, stepping pass people and out the door. I walked to the side walk and scanned for his car. I honestly didn't know what car I was looking for. He could be in a new one.

Still scanning, I spotted him getting out of his Range Rover and slowly made my way to him. These heels was short but gave me kind of a hard time.

He leaned on his passenger door as he stared me down. At this point I was a nervous wreck and the butterflies was killing me.

Stopping a few feet away, I looked up at him. Still so damn fine with his mean ass. He was high like normal, his eyes nearly shut. I waited for him to speak first since he asked me out here. He was still just staring at me with a blank face.

I started to feel self conscious now because I hated being stared at like that. Did he not like my outfit? Was it too much? Was I too fat for a dress to hug me like this? What if my rolls was showing?

"Happy birthday." He finally spoke, still staring me up and down.

"Thank you."

"You look beautiful." He added, slowly licking his lips, making my cheeks pink from blushing.

"Thank you." I gave a small smile. It fell silent again with him still staring at me. I need him to say something else cause standing her with his stare was making me nervous still. He always makes me nervous.

"How are you?" I asked, breaking the silence this time.

"I'm straight. You?"

"I'm okay." I answered truthfully.

I was still bummed before with him ending things but I got over it. Doesn't mean I don't care about him anymore or anything.

"Thought I didn't remember?" He asked.

"I honestly thought you didn't care."

"Of course I care. Always will." He says and I blushed hard, feeling my cheeks heat up. "I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"Take a ride wit me." He nodded to the car.

"I can't leave my party." I chuckled. "Everybody will be looking for me."

"I'll have you back before they wonder." He say opening his passenger door.

I thought it bout it for a minute and slowly made my way to him, getting in. His cologne and weed lingered inside the car giving it an intoxicating smell.
As he hopped in, I placed my seatbelt on and looked at him. He started the car and drove off to wherever.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"My spot." He simply say and I nodded. It lowkey felt awkward cause we aren't where we was anymore but it was nice being with him right now.
