Back inside the club, Nicole laughed as she danced, feelin' the vibe of the night. It was her crew's usual scene—celebrations, drinks, and good times. But when she came back to the VIP section, she noticed Devin was gone.
"Hey, where'd Devin go?" she asked, lookin' around.
"He left," Jason said, his voice casual, like it wasn't a big deal. "Said he was tired."
"Tired? Already?" Nicole frowned. "That don't sound like him."
Her best friend, Tasha, leaned in close and pulled Nicole to the side. "Girl, lemme tell you somethin'. You know Devin in love with you, right?"
Nicole blinked, then laughed it off. "Tasha, stop playin'. Devin? In love with me? We been friends since forever. That's not even like that."
"Nah, I'm serious. All of us know. He been feelin' you for years. But he too scared to say anything," Tasha said, eyes locked on hers.
Nicole just stood there for a second, the words sinkin' in. Could it be true? Devin? Her best friend? She laughed again, tryin' to shake it off. "You crazy, girl."
Tasha gave her a look, but Nicole just waved it away. "Come on, let's get back to the party."
