I was at the hair shop all day so I was relieved once the last braid was finished. As I was walking out the shop my phone begun to ring in my purse. I looked around in my cluttered purse to find it then I read the caller ID it was Odell. "Yeah?" I answered walking to my car. "Wanna go to this little party with me?"
"Umm sure. But I'm starving I've been at the shop all day let me go home and eat first" I tell him sitting down in the drivers seat tossing my purse onto the passenger seat. "We can stop and eat on the way there, I'm at the barbershop so you can come get me from there" If he didn't drive to the barbershop how did he get there anyways. "Alright bye" I tell him buckling my seatbelt then driving to the barbershop where he usually gets his haircut at. My stomach kept growling and I tried to ignore it by singing a long to the radio. I pulled up outside and parked in the parking lot. I sent Odell a text letting him know I was outside then shortly afterwards he came out to the car.
"I'm driving" He tells me opening the door. I unbuckle my seatbelt climbing out the car and going over to the passenger side sitting down. He drives to this pizza place and we go inside.
"You look gorgeous" He tells me and I blush looking down at my menu. 6 years of knowing each other I still feel those butterflies in my stomach when he compliments me. "Thanks" I smile flipping my hair. We eat some pizza then we head back out the restaurant to the party. He pulls up to the venue parking in the parking lot. I get out the car pulling down my shirt a little walking to the other side of the car. Odell takes my hand in his and we walk inside. The first thing I noticed was how bomb the lighting was and how decent my selfies would turn out.
"I'm about to say what's up to them" Odell says pointing to a group of people then walks off. Simple As This by Trevor Jackson was playing through the speakers and I couldn't help but sing a long and dance a little.
"You look good Summer" I hear someone say, I turn around and see some girl I didn't know. I just smile "Thanks girl" I tell her "Have we met?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows but still tried to keep a smile on my face so she didn't think I was being rude.
"Oh no" She laughs "I'm Erika( GoddessTillerr )"
"Awe okay, hey girl" I laugh pulling her into a hug, I'm always open to making new friends. "You want a drink?" She asks and I nod my head yes and follow her over to the bar. I order me a drink and we danced together to Sitting Pretty by Ty Dolla $ign.
"What's up" I hear someone say I turn around and seen it was Trey. I was happy to see him, this was my turn up buddy so now we was about to get it cracking.
"Hey Trey" I say pulling him into a hug. "Trey this is-" He cuts me off "Erika, yeah I know her" I look up at him confused and back at her "I'll be back" She smiles and walks away.
"How you know her? She famous or something?" I ask, if she was I'm pretty sure I'd know her. He just laughs and takes my drink, drinking it himself. "You don't know?" He ask raising his eyebrow with a smile. I cross my arms across my chest shifting the weight to my left leg "Who is she?"
"That was Dell lil side piece back at LSU" Trey tells me. I start to think back, that was the bitch who gave him the hickies! She sat here smiling in my face like everything was peaches and cream now I wanna beat some ass. But I'm gonna do that, I'm not about to ruin my reputation.
"Oh really?" I smirk raising an eyebrow looking over and see her talking to him, she laughs and touches his arm. She got three seconds to move her damn hand before I break it. "I need a drink" I say pulling Trey over to the bar with me. I sat on the stool staring the two down trying to see how long they were gonna be talking. "Instead of sitting over here plotting go say something" Trey laughs following my glance.
"You just wanna see me beat some ass?" I chuckle. "Just do that lil crazy things bitches do. Act like everything okay, but curse him out later. They probably just friends" The girl was getting a little too comfortable with him now. I don't wanna hear that they're just friends, no the fuck they aren't.
"Trey I'm about to go kill ya boy" I tell him sitting my drink down on the table and walking over to Odell and little ms Erika. "Hey honey" I smile fakely and Odell knew my smile was fake but he smiles anyways. "Hey"
"You know Erika?" I ask him, yeah he knows her quiet well.
"Yeah, you know Erika?" He asks shocked. "Yeah we just met" He sighs in relief "She went to LSU"
"Oh did she?" I was just about to go off but Trey walks over "What's up Odell" They do this little handshake. "I gotta go to the bathroom, Summer come with me?" Erika says and I smile "Ok". We start to walk away and my smile instantly fades.
"I don't want you to think that I still have feelings for Odell because I don't." She tells me.
"Right" I say sarcastically not wanting to be fed this bullshit. "I don't, I don't want you to think that either" She tells me. Miss me with the bullshit.
"I remember you. You were the one who put all them hickies on his neck" I tell her stopping at the bathroom door. She looks downs "We were young and in college. I didn't know any better. I wanted him cause he was poppin"
"And now that he's doing his thing you expect me to not think you want him. Erika you aren't the first girl and I'm pretty sure you aren't the last girl that's willing to destroy my marriage to have my man. If you don't have feelings for him, simply stay away from him. It's as simple as that" I strut away not wanting to hear what she had to say. Now it's time for me to curse him out. He was talking to Trey, Drake and some other person whose name I didn't know. I muff his head and he looks down at me confused.
"So we playing ex games now?" I ask I had my fist balled up just ready to punch him in his jaw. "What are you talking about?" He ask scrunching up his face. I muff his face even harder "You know exactly what I'm talking about"
"Woah woah woah, calm down" Trey grabs my arm mid punch. His friends was just enjoying this moment. "What are you even talking about" Odell laughs, was he laughing at me?
"Ya lil ex over here laughing with ya. You're not even that funny." I stood in my fighting stance, I was ready to throw these hands. "What was the joke? I wanna laugh too" I tilt my head to the side scrunching up my face a little.
"It's not that deep" He tells me with a chuckle drinking his drink. I wanted to knock that damn cup out of his hand. I realized people were staring looking at me like I was crazy like he was the victim. So me being the crazy person I am, I forced myself to cry. "Give me my keys I'm going home" I tell him as a single tear cascade down my cheek. "Why you tripping?"
"I said give me my damn keys" I retort sternly. He just ignores me and tries to return to his conversation with his boys. "Fine" I pull my phone out my purse and dial Taylor's number (princetons_xo ) I walked out the venue and went outside.
"Hello?" She answers. "Can you come get me please" I sniffle wiping my eyes. "Sum what's wrong?" Taylor asks I can hear she was starting to worried. "Nothing I'm fine. I just need a ride home"
Odell snatches the phone out of my hand "No she doesn't, she good" He says into the phone and hangs up the phone.
"What was all that in there?" Odell asks. I roll my eyes trying to take my phone from his hands.
"Go back in there with ya little girlfriend" I attempt to walk away but he grabs my arm. "Talk to me! What did I do?!" He yells and I was taken off guard.
"You got me in there talking to the little wench knowing good and well that was once your girl!" I shout back. "But she wasn't"
"Yeah whatever don't fucking lie to my face" I roll my eyes walking away not wanting to argue with him right now. I call Taylor back.
"Summer!" I hear Odell yell but I kept walking "Summer!"
