Riri gathered her girls around and spilled the tea about her feelings for Lamine. Ever since they kissed that night ,she really expected him to make a move. She expressed how she's catching feelings for him and wants to take things to the next level, but she's afraid of rejection and worried he might not take her seriously.
"I feel like you should have a conversation with him about this ,your feelings actually matter don't hide them"chelsea spoke comforting her
"I know but it's like he might wanna take his football career more seriously,and I get it but at the same time I have strong feelings for him "riri says
"Text him or call him and talk about it,we'll see if it goes wrong bb"Kay Kay exclaims hugging her

"okay not too much on my people"riri says
"but anyways why u text me "lamine says
"Well first of all,I wanna say that if this conversation goes wrong just forget everything."she says trying not to laugh
"ight"
"But you know ever since we kissed last time,i actually felt something on our relashionship.And what I mean by that is that i like you a lot."riri exclaims
Fuck just kill me omggg this is so embarassing
lamine pauses his game and takes his phone in his hand. He did smile gently but riri felt like he was gonna say something different
"Your feelings mean a lot to me, and I appreciate your honesty. But I believe it's important for me to be more honest with you then hurt you. Right now, I feel that focusing on my career is my priority. I hope you understand that my decision is not a reflection of how much I care about you. I truly care for our friendship riri and I apologize if you feel any type of way with me saying this"he express his feelings
After hearing his words,Riri felt like she just wanted to dip and bounce out of this country ASAP. She was feeling so embarrassed, like she couldn't even deal with being there for another second.
"I'm sorry but u literally kissed me and u kept flirting with me in some typa way,this is embarassing on my side cause u did make me think we could've had something "she says,feeling her eyes tear up
"I know I did do some stuff that made u feel that way,.But I feel like it's too soon and I really need to focus more on football "lamine explains,feeling some type of embarrassment too
"alright,if that's your feelings then it's fine with me.But u shouldn't have played me like that "Riri says feeling her voice crack up
"im sorry"

10:30am
Riri stayed up all night trippin' about the whole situation, couldn't even catch a break. When the girls woke up, she spilled every single detail that happened. They were actually so heated for her .
"He's so dumb ,he literally kissed u and then he's making u feel like that "Shay exclaims her opinion
"Either he's a hoe or he doesn't know how to deal with bad bitches "chels smiled towards her bestfriend
"Stoppp,but bro this nigga got me feeling like I'm begging for his ass,I'm gonna be honest my feelings still didn't change I like him .But he embarrassed me so bad I feel disgusted"Riri says putting her head down
Riri told them she did feel a bit better having them there, or else it would've been even more cringe. Deep down, she's feeling more bummed out than angry that Lamine straight-up embarrassed her like that. The whole situation had her wanting to jet out of there and escape the embarrassment she was feeling.
"uhhh yall,mikey invited us to the club tonight,everybody gon be there "Kay Kay says
"we'll go."chels says
"I'm scared tho"riri says
"don't trip about him,it's a girls trip baby we sticking with you. "chels says jumping on her and kissing her
10:30pm
"BROOOO LETS GOOOO "chels says screaming at Kay Kay and riri
"why are yall the ones always making us late ughh"
"because bad hitches take a long time to get ready"Kay Kay cheeses
"spill"
they hit up the club, everyone was vibing, taking shots, mostly Casamigos. Riri was feeling a bit tipsy, but she knew she could handle it. Then the boys rolled in, she felt kinda solo since she was the only one not boo'd up. Her girls came through to comfort her ' since they saw she was feeling left out.
After throwing back so many shots, the song "Damn Shorty" by Sexxy Red came on. They all started getting down, twerking on each other.
"damn it's fat"some boy came up behind her
"oh hell nah ew"she quickly got up walking away
"yo wtf that's so embarassing"she heard Ahmed bust out laughing
When Riri turned around, she peeped Mikey and Kay Kay kissing in the corner going at it like they were the only ones in the room. all that madness and her purse was missing at the same time
"lemme talk to you "she heard a voice behind
"leave me alone lamine"Riri says annoyed obviously
"I didn't mean to upset you in that way"lamine says with low eyes
"have u been drinking?"riri stares at him
"nah I don't do that,i didn't sleep tonight.I kept thinking about what happened,I apologize deeply I really value our friendship.I care for you."he says taking a sit beside her
"I'm fine with you not having feelings for me but you should've stopped flirting with me if u ddint feel a way"she says feeling herself about to cry again
"it's not that I don't have feelings for you,I just don't wanna get distracted in any way. I need time "he exclaims
"Alright ,I forgive u"
"Can I have a hug?"he says cheesing
"no "giving him a side eye
"Stop playing"he gives her a forehead kiss and a hug.
4:50am
After they got back home, Riri was feeling good about the chat they had, but deep down, she was still bummed 'cause she wanted to actually have a thing with him.
