For the Love of Zo

"Hey, Koryn!" I exclaimed as I walked into the living room, seeing her cuddled up on the couch with Shelly. They're so stinkin' cute. 

"Hey, Zo!" She patted a spot next to her on the couch. "Come sit." 

"Girl, no I couldn't intrude on your couple time."

"Oh, please, you're basically a part of this relationship, too," Shelly laughed. "You can sit with us." 

"Yeah, we're actually planning to go to this party tonight. I'm for sure gonna need your help babysitting Shelly," Koryn said. 

Shelly playfully hit her in the chest. 

"Who's all gonna be there?" I asked as I took my seat next to K.

"Whoever shows up, I guess," K put her right leg on top of mine. "It's a Spelman party."

"A college party? Aww, hell," I mumbled to myself. 

Nothing against college students, but they don't know when to end the night. Knowing this couple, we're gonna be out until the sun comes up.

"Why, you don't wanna go?" Shelly asked. 

"No, no, it's fine, I'll come," 

"Don't come if you don't wanna be there, girl," K exclaimed. 

"Hush," I made a pinch with my hands. "I'll be there," 

"Great!" K jumped up from the couch, pulling the two of us up with her. "Let's go get ready,"

Run up on big Glo, you won't, I bet yo' ass be on the flo. Big carbon hit like Mayweather, Tula come through and bow a ho.

Yeah, Glo! Blasted through the house party. The speakers were so loud you could feel the beat in your chest. 

"Fuck yesss," I exclaimed as we approached the drink table. "Now this is my kinda party!" I picked up a shot glass and began pouring myself up.

"Alright now party girl, we still gotta be able to walk by the end of the night," Shelly grabbed my arm as I finished chugging my first shot. 

"Yeah, yeah, I know my limits," I said as I poured another one. 

I scanned the room while Shelly and K took videos of themselves. There's a plethora of people here. So many that it almost makes me uncomfortable. 

I continued looking around the room until my eyes landed on a familiar face. I eyed him, watching as he interacted with the people around him. He looks so fun to be around in this moment. 

Fuck no. Yeah, these shots definitely getting to me.

"Who you staring at?" Shelly came to stand behind me. "Mhmmm, you might as well go talk to him, you keep running into him everywhere," 

"Who we talkin' about?" K came up next to us, looking at him, too. 

"You remember the general manager story I told you about?" Shelly asked.

"Oh shit, that's him?!" K looked him up and down. "I wasn't expecting him to look that good. Okay, zaddy!" 

He did look really good. His locs were dyed a nice ombre of ginger and dark brown, now. He had on a tight black shirt that really fit his figure, his arms bulging out of them. He had tattoos running up and down his entire body. 

He glanced over in our direction, and we all ducked as if somebody was shooting. 

"Fuck! Did he see us?" I covered my head.
