Thug Love

Chapter 16

We pulled up to VLive and noticed the line wrapped around the corner. "Chresanto if you think I'm standing in that long ass line in these red bottoms, you're fucking insane."

"Really Bahja? Money talks ma, plus you got VIP, ain't no line ma. Straight like that!" Chres responded.

I parked in the far corner so no one would ding or dent my new baby. I saw a lot of people began to stare and whisper when we pulled up. Chres and I got out the car and walked hand in hand to the front of the line. I spotted Nique and grabbed her out of the line. 

I then noticed Diamond, I just nicely smiled at her and kept walking. "Bitch, thinks she better than someone. Watch that ass end up right back at the end of the line. Bum ass hoe." Diamond spoke to her friend.

I heard her comment and was about to check that shit but Chres also heard her, he grabbed  my hand tighter and whispered, "Ignore her, remember what I said iight lil baby."

Nique, Chres and I made our way to the front of the line. Chres dapped up the bouncer. "What's good Chres?"

"Out here celebrating my wife birthday," he responded pointing to Bahja with a smile on his face.

"You're the one pushing that fly ass whip?" the bouncer asked.

Before I could answer, Chres answered for me. "Man, only the best for wifey. She own that hoe. Don't believe me, check the tags."

"I bet, my dude. Go enjoy yourself; Happy Birthday beautiful."

"Thank you."

Diamond's mouth dropped as she heard the conversation between the bouncer and Chres. She was even madder when she watched Bahja walk straight in the club without having to wait in the long ass line like she did.

When Chres, Nique and myself made it inside, we were a little surprised to see how packed it was. We walked straight over to VIP which had a banner on the wall behind it that said 'Happy SlayDay Bahja'. 

I noticed buckets of ice with Champagne bottles in them. "Stop looking." Chres whispered.

"What?"

"You might as well get your eyes off the bottles, you ain't drinking. You driving home."

"Lies you tell! Babe you are driving us home." she dangled the keys in his face, "It's my birthday I'm not gonna get pissy drunk but I will be drunk." I smiled and he just smirked. 

We kicked it in VIP for a little while.  A few people came over and wished her a happy birthday.  After fifteen minutes of sitting in VIP staring around the club, Zonnique and I made our way to the dance floor and began dancing with some of the strippers.  I felt someone tap on her shoulder and when I turned around, I noticed it was Larray. "Happy birthday, ma."

"Thanks."

I turned to walk away when he grabbed my arm. "Wait..."

"Larray just stop."

Chres was watching the whole ordeal take place and he wasn't a happy camper.  He would wait a few more minutes and if he looked like he wasn't trying to budge, then he would step in. At that time, one of her favorite songs began to play.  As the words began to play, I looked dead into Larray's eyes and began singing with Keyshia Cole.

I admit that you almost had me, I admit I was almost crazy, had me thinking 'bout calling that bitch that night, let her know where she can come and meet me, but it's cool imma be a lady, she think she cute but she don't faze me, and if you knew about all of this good lovin you'll be missing out on, you wouldn't have played me, can't say I'm not hurt, I'll be damned if I'm broken, what we had is now hers, let her know she can have it.

Bahja was almost in tears as Keyshia Cole sang her heart out.  She headed for the nearest exit, she needed fresh air.  Her emotions were everywhere. Zonnique and Chresanto both followed her.

"Bee, what's wrong?" Nique questioned.

She sighed, "I'm good Nique, thanks."

"You sure?" She nodded.

"Aight then," Nique turned around and walked inside.

Bahja took a few deep breaths to recompose herself. "You good ma?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Chres." He walked up to her and hugged her tight he knew that whenever she was ready to discuss what was bothering her, she would. After being outside for a few minutes, Chres followed her back inside.  When they got to the front entrance, they noticed Money being harassed.

"Aye, what's going on?" Bahja asked.

"He ain't tryna let me in talking about they at capacity." Money explained.

I walked up to Money and looped her arm through his, "he my brother so he's getting in." They walked in the club together.

The bouncer looked at Chres, "You got a feisty one on your hands huh?"

Chres chuckled and nodded. "I know."
