Fireworks

Chapter 1

Angela's POV

I had just woken up with a terrible headache. I've really had little sleep all month. I've just been so busy and stressed that I haven't even had time for my beauty rest. I got out of bed and went to my bathroom. I went inside the medicine cabinet and pulled out the ibuprofen then took two of the pills. I swallowed them down with water the did my hygiene. After that, I walked downstairs, into the kitchen, and proceeded to cook my self some breakfast. I was soon interrupted when my phone began to ring. Of course, it was none other than my best friend, Nina.

"Hello?"

"Heyyy girl what's up? What you doing?"

"Well, I was actually just gonna chill but since you called I was thinking maybe you, me, and Deandra should get together."

"Yeah okay chica. I'll call her right now. Talk to ya later. I should be there around 1:30."

"Alright bye girly."

"Adios."

I ended the phone call and continued to cook myself breakfast. It was done in about 10 minutes. I then ate and scrolled through instagram, liking photos. After I was done, I went back upstairs, to my bathroom, and started my shower. I washed then put on some clothes. I did my hair and makeup then sprayed some perfume on. Soon, my doorbell rung and I knew exactly who was outside. I opened the door and let Nina and Deandra in.

*5 hours later*

We had went downtown and went out to eat. We were trying to figure out what to do the Deandra spoke.

"So, I've been talking to this guy and he said that we all should come over. He's having a little get together with a few of his friends."

"Okay cool, then let's go."

Me, Deandra, and Nina piled into the car headed to Deandra's friend house. We got there about 20 minutes later. We rung the doorbell and this handsome, brownskin man opened the door. "Hey baby." he said to Deandra. "Hey boo, these are my friends Angela and Nina. Guys this is Ishaq." Deandra said. "Heyy" me and Nina said in unison. He then let us in and there were quite a bit of people here. Damn, these guys were fine. I then saw this brownskinned girl who had a nice shape but it looked fake. Then I saw this really lightskin chick who had short blonde hair. It was real short, like a buzz cut. There was one particular guy who caught my eye. He was tall and in between lightskin and brownskin. He was a lot of tattoos and was real tall. I guess he was checking me out too because he got up and walked over to me.

"Wassup ma?"

"Nothing much." I flashed my pearly whites.

"Well, what's yo name?"

"Angela."

"That's a cute name, but I think I'll call you Ang. I'm D'Mario."

"Well nice to meet you D'Mario."

"Say, wanna hang with me the res' of the night?"

"Sure."

Me and D'Mario talked for the rest of the time. Everyone began to leave at about 1 in the morning. Deandra was staying the night at Ishaq's house and Nina came over and asked me if I'm ready to go. D'Mario offered to take me home so I told her she can go without me. Ishaq's friends, which I later found out their names were Jervonte, Kaleem, D'Wayne, Jocelyn, and Garrika, also left so me and D'Mario headed out. We had a quiet but comfortable silence for a few minutes until he spoke.

"So, tell me a little about yourself ma."

"Well, I'm from here Atlanta, I'm 25 years old, I'm single, I work as a party planner, I'm an independent woman, and I'm a pretty outgoing person."

"Cool cool. Well I'm from New Orleans, I'm 24 years old, and I'm a producer."

"Oh okayy I see you."

"Ha ha."

"Well, we're here."

"Yup."

"Well I guess I'll see you later later."

"Wait, what's your number?"

We exchanged numbers and he got out and opened the door for me. I got out and he walked me to the front door. We said our goodnights and he gave me a nice, long hug. I then fell asleep and got an unexpected phone call. A person I thought I would never have to deal with anymore. Howell Smith.
