Never Been

I See Ya

Dreezy, Devin and Rita sat at the dinner table, eating their food and updating each other on what's been going on. Rita talked about the latest drama with her ex-husband Vernon, Devin talked about his one-night stand and the rap album he's trying to put together and Dreezy talked about her job and how much she doesn't like the profession anymore.

"We've told you like a thousand times to quit and come work with us!"
"Yeah, and your beats hit hard. We could be the next musical super group."
"I hear y'all. I just don't want to give up too soon."
"Do what makes you happy Dree. We will always be here and willing to pick you up. Even if we gotta rob a bank."
"Bonnie, Clyde and Cindy."
"Who the hell is Cindy?"
"I don't know. It just sounds hard."
"Boy, bye. Don't think I ain't peeped you all smiling in your phone either."
"Yeah, you've been cheesing like a school girl over there."
"I met this fly ass shorty at the bar a few weeks ago. We been talking ever since."
"Ooohh, at least one of us is getting laid."
"How you know Dree ain't getting none?"
"Dreezy, are you being grown?"
"No. Even the nuns getting more action than me."
"Say Dree, shorty got some cute friends..."
"Naw, I don't even wanna think about it."
"Why not?"
"Ain't nobody checking for me."
"Girl please. I know women right now that'll eat yo ass up."

Dreezy blushed at Rita's words. She never understood why but it's always hard to imagine anyone actually liking her. Devin spoke up at that.

"I tried to hook you up with one of her homegirls but she was on some other ish. She was definitely your type."
"Mmmm. I ain't trippin'. If it's meant to be, it'll be."
"See, Ima need for you to have a little umph. Women like to be chased so you need to up your game."
"Well, you'll be proud to know I tried. I left her a message but she hasn't responded."
"Let me see."

Dreezy reluctantly handed Rita her phone. She watched as her friend nodded her head impressed, before she looked up and off to the side. Then Rita began typing.

"Woah, what are you doing?"
"Hopefully getting you some action my friend."
"How?"
"See for yourself boo."

She handed her the phone and Dreezy wanted to crawl under the table. Not only did Rita actually follow the FunTap woman's page... she'd also followed her Instagram and liked five of her most recent pictures.

"Damn it Rita! Now she's going to think I'm weird."
"Well, you are. But it's a loveable, cute weird."
"Ughhh!"
"What's going on?"
"I just made sure our friend here is putting her best foot forward with her crush."
"Crush? Who are we talking about here?"
"Some girl that be twerking on our app."
"Let me see."

Dreezy handed Devin the phone and he looked at the video before grinning at her. He looked at the video again, before laughing.

"Aye yo, this the shorty I'm talking about!"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah man, I met her and her home girls at the bar! This one of them I'm talking to now."
"Wow. Small world."
"Check this out. Let's all go out Thursday. I'll tell shorty I'm talking to to bring her friend and we'll see what we got."
"I don't know, Dev. What if she turns me down?"
"Then we'll find you something else. Trust me, I got you!"
"I'm down! My mission is to get you laid Dree Dree!"
"Fine. I guess I'm in."

*Thursday*

The three friends piled in Dev's Tesla truck and made their way to the lounge they were meeting at. Dreezy nervously adjusted her chain and wiped her hand on her slacks. She gets nervous whenever she meets new people.

Nelly pouted as Jessica pushed her up to the line at the lounge. Nikki and Portia giggled at the two childhood friends. The last thing Nelly wanted to do was meet whoever this was they wanted her to meet. She rolled her eyes and smiled as the bouncer stamped her hand. They walked in and Jessica quickly spotted Devin.

"There he go. Please be nice Shanelle."
"When have I ever not been nice?"
"You really want an answer to that?"

Nelly rolled her eyes as they walked over to Devin. He smiled and hugged them all before guiding them to the table where Dreezy and Rita were. Devin cleared his throat when they made it to the table and Dreezy and Rita both stood up. He introduced everybody and they all noticed how Dreezy and Nelly were staring at each other.

"I think I've seen you somewhere before?"
"Uh, I-, yeah. I followed you on FunTap."
"Right, right. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you as well."

Nelly honestly couldn't keep her eyes off Dreezy. Her pictures definitely didn't do her justice. Granted, she only had a few of them up that actually showed her face up close, but Nelly thought she was beautiful. The skin, cheek bones, a slight dimple when she smiled. And yeah, she was big, but it was a good kind of big. The kind where Nelly just wanted to lay her head on the girls chest and wrap her arms around her. To put that Nelle was intrigued by the woman was putting it mildly.

Dreezy was no better off. She found herself wanting to hug on the smaller woman. She's probably two inches taller than Nelly but she wanted nothing more than to wrap her up in her arms and lay her head on the top of her head. She wanted to run her fingers through her locs and kiss her juicy, pink lips.

The friend group smiled at each other as they noticed Dreezy and Nelly get lost in their own conversation. They decided to just let the two vibe while they all got to know each other better. Before they left that night, the crew made plans to hang out with each other.

"Soooo, what you thought about Dreezy?"
"She's interesting..."
"Just interesting?"
"Yeah. She's cute as hell too."
"Oop! Go head friend!"
"We'll see."

"So what you thinking?"
"She's everything."
"Damn sis. It's like that?"
"I mean, from what I can see, she's a total package."
"My friend 'bout to get some cutty!"
