Jasmine and Von walk into the white, colonial house. The music is blasting drill and they step over drunk bodies and red plastic cups that have been thrown on the floor. Von's hand slips across Jasmine's silky black dress, to her waist as he guides her to the back porch. He knew she couldn't stand large crowds so moving to a quiet area made Jasmine's heart flutter.
Von grabbed Jasmine's hands, inspecting her nails. They were medium-length, nude, with French tips except for the ring fingers, which were rhymed out. "You keep yoself lookin' good. That's what I like about you. Ion think I've ever seen you looking rough, even in rough moments." Von said, admiring Jasmine.
"I wanna grab something to drink, come with me," Jasmine said, grabbing Von's arm and walking into the crowd. Again, pushing past the intoxicated groups of people.
They made their way to the kitchen, slipping into the island chairs. "Let me get a vodka shot. Pour three." Von said to the man at the table, who had on a tight black shirt, black sweats, and black gloves.
"Why three?" Jasmine asked, glancing at the bartender as he made the drink. Nobody knew what these people were putting in drinks. The man slid the drinks in front of them before Von turned to Jasmine.
"Two for me, one for you. You don't need to be drinking allat." Von replied, laughing to himself and chugging his shot. Jasmine rolled her eyes, took her shot, and chugged it. "I can handle stuff you know." She mumbled, mugging him.
They turned their attention to the crowd that was getting louder and louder behind him, overpowering the music. They didn't recognize any familiar faces but suddenly it became clear who it was.
Gia and... Ja?
They were eating at each other's faces, with Ja's hands sliding down her lower back. Gia, with her hands wrapped around his neck, had her eyes closed. Everyone has been on that mouth.
"Nah aren't they cousins or sum?" A random mumbled to their friend as they walked past Jasmine and Von. Everyone reeked of liquor.
"Nah that's just wild," Von mumbled under his breath, staring at Gia in disbelief. Jasmine glanced at Von, feeling a sense of wonder. He was staring at her as if he was still in love with her, this should've been a look and look away. Instead, he continued to stare at Gia, before mumbling under his breath again and looking back at Jasmine.
She looked away, turning back around and tossing the glass to the bartender. He caught it and lightly placed it in the full sink.
"Can I have the rest of your drink?" Jasmine asked, staring at the tiny glass. Von turned around, grabbing a red cup and a bottle of liquor, filling it up. "Here, let me see if you can handle it," Von said while smirking and pushing the cup into Jasmine's chest.
Jasmine laughed, taking the cup from him. She held the cup with hesitation, this was going to be a hell of a hangover tomorrow. "I can. I'll do it. I'm finna turn yo ass up." Jasmine replied, laughing nervously before putting the rim of the cup to her lips and chugging the drink. It stung like a mf, but she gulped to her heart's desire, her eyes pierced shut.
She slammed the cup down onto the counter and immediately started coughing. "Damn, that shit is strong yo. What did you put in it?" Jasmine asked out of breath, watching Von laugh at her. The room got darker, and the purple LED lights were turned on. It was around that time when the hype was dying down and everyone was chilling now.
Close Friends - Lil Baby [Currently playing]
"A little bit of everything ya heard," Von said, rolling his 'r'. Von leaned towards Jasmine, yet Jasmine stepped back, hitting the wall softly as she took small steps. "What you runnin for?" Von asked, scrunching up his face but laughing in between his words. He was clearly drunk as while Jasmine chugged her cup, so did he to his concoction.
Jasmine chuckled, pressing her hands against his chest. "Von, I'm tipsy and you're drunk. Watchu tryna do anyways?" She pressed, her slight accent coming out. She tried to speak proper most times but at moments like this, it always slipped out eventually. Von pressed his lips against hers, his hands traveling against her slim but curvy body. The touch of his silver rings that wrapped his fingers made Jasmine's back arch and her head lean up to his. Her arms come up to his neck, bringing him in closer. She kissed back eventually tired of fighting him but his dominance took over. He pecked at her lips before exploring her mouth and gripping her ass.
Jasmine let out a soft gasp, opening her eyes as Von traveled down to her neck. He left small kisses around her neck, then back up to her lips, clearly missing the touch. He took his right leg, grabbed Jasmine's thigh, and propped it up against him. He leaned in deeper, Jasmine feeling the print of Von, shutting her eyes immediately. "Stop squirming," Von whispered, his breath with a hint of liquor.
Just as Jasmine was going to respond, she heard the sound of a cup dropping to the floor and Von suddenly standing up straight. "What the fuck Gia," Von yelled, his fists tightened and he stepped up towards Gia. "What happened to 'I don't like that bitch'?!" Gia screamed, taking the hair that was in her face behind her ear.
"Well you dumb bitch, she's a caring ass person who gives a fuck about how I felt. So yeah, I do like my girlfriend Hoe. You were just kissing Ja, the same nigga you told me not to worry about. So go 'bout yo fucking night." Von raised his voice, almost about to swing at Gia but Ja stepped in front of her. "Don't you fucking dare touch her bitch ass nigga." Ja hissed, and it appeared as if his veins were about to pop out of his head. Von was a good head taller than Ja so no one knew why Ja was trying to act as if he could beat Von's ass.
Von pushed Ja out of the way, gripping Jasmine's hand firmly. "Ow Von, you're hurting me!" Jasmine yelped, skipping steps as Von urgently fumed out of the place. He wasn't trying to be a pussy but if someone called the cops on him again for fighting, he was done for. Von loosened his grip as soon as they got outside, turning to Jasmine as she stood standing. "Let's go we're leaving I can't risk fighting that nigga again," Von yelled, wiping his face.
"You fucking hurt me trying to storm out like that. And I don't know why you never went to someone about Ja shooting at you." Jasmine yelled back, running her nails through her hair and checking to make sure she had everything on her, which she did. "I know and I'm sorry, I didn't realize how strong my grip was ma. You know I aint tryna hurt you and I made that promise to you before. I was fucking pissed off about that jackass." Von pleaded, reaching for Jasmine's waist. She mugged him but allowed him to hug her.
"Let's go, and don't forget you were just touching on me," Jasmine yelled, pointing her finger in his face before walking off to the car. Von laughed in return, watching her ass move in the dress and quickly following behind her.
"Yes ma'am."
