What Is Love? (BWWM)

Chp 43: College party

Patience P.O.V (Patience outfit above)

I applied some more red lipstick to my lips and ruffled my hair some more until it fell the way I desired. Once I sure of my appearance I grabbed the roast I made before heading towards the door. I knocked on the door and waited for them to answer so I observed the evening sunset that started to pick up wind bringing in lukewarm air. My head shot forehead at the sound of locks being undone then the door finally being pulled open to Lawrence's gentle face. His face lit up upon seeing me "Hey we were just wondering when you were gonna get here" He moved forward to pull me into a friendly hug with a peck on my cheek. "Sorry I got caught up in something but I brought roast" I displayed the crock pot in my hand.

"It's smells good I might eat this up by myself" Lawrence joked going to grab the crock pot that I willingly handed over. "You can go ahead to the living room everybody's already arrived "

"Thanks Lawerence" The moment I set through the thresholds familiar voices and the tune of Micheal Jackson meet me there. I traveled down the narrow hallway and through a lone sitting room that lead to a big area of the house where the party was being held. I pushed up a shower of wooden beads that rained down from the entrance of the door and stumbled upon the room full of brown faced individuals all talking amongst each other. Each familiar face I recognized as friends from college and a few new faces.

Celeste was the first to take notice of my presence and made sure to make a scene of it by squealing over to me and pulling me into a bone crushing hug. "Pay pay I missed you so much" Celeste squeaked making me giggle in reply and hug her back. The others also took notice and we began the natural meet and greet between each other. "There's my sister how've you been patience" a dark skin chubby gentleman with glasses that sat tight on his face sped walked towards me in a goofy motion that brought a toothy grin onto my lips. "Hello Byron it's been so long" I took two good steps before I was nearly sweep off my feet by his chubby form pulling me into an embrace. I laughed out loud as we sway back in forth before we finally pulled apart to take each other in "damn girl you look good you haven't aged at all you look hotter" He pretended to fan himself. "Me baby your glowing I'm assuming somebody new has peeked your interest" I smirked with a brow raised. "oh somebody has gotten his attention alright." Celeste teased motioning towards the dark skin gentleman that smiled and waved over to us. His expression became flush making us giggled between each other like little school children.

Byron was a party animal back in college. Him and Celeste together were like two badass kids running amok. I would never forget I was woken up to my phone ringing off the hook and when I finally answered. I came to Celeste and Byron  sobbing voices as they stumbled between their words to explain their situation. They both forgot that they drove to a party and walked half of 2 miles away from their car and couldn't find their way back. They were drunk. I could write a whole book on their antics and I would still need an another book published. After college Byron moved away for a job writing for well established magazines. So we were only able to see him every blue moon.

Our small group quickly grew bigger as a tall and slender caramels skin women with silky curls that fell lightly from her bun joined with a tall brown skinned gentleman latched at the arm."Hey Guys It's been so long you guys look so good" her sweet tone grabbed our attention making us all greet her with hugs and kisses. Erica was another college friend that we had grown close to. Her and her husband Rashon. They were the high school couple that survived to adulthood and now they were married with 2 children of their own. Although we weren't as close, we still spent countless times together hanging out.

"Woo the three musketeers back together now I know it's a party" Rashon laughed out loud getting a cheer from both Celeste and Byron.

"Oh shit Dequan's here" Celeste hissed closed to my ear making me arch a brow and look where she was looking and sure enough her ex was here. Dequan was tall dark skin with a muscular built and a wave cut. He was well trimmed around the mustache and beard with two silver earrings lining one ear. He was a close friend of me and Rashon and a good friend of the group.
