Two Brothers. ( A Drama)

Tired

- Milena

Royce's friends invited theirselves over tonight to kick it and get drunk. It was his usual crew Ty, Joey, Trey and of course Dustin. I was hoping Carnell would've came too but he hasn't showed. That's probably a good thing because Royce still doesn't know about us. At least to my knowledge he doesn't know. This little get together was slowly turning into a kickback. The more people that showed up the more blunts and bottles showed up. There was a little music, real smooth songs nothing too fast pace. It was a really chill atmosphere. I'm not a fan of smoke and I'm ready to head to my room, I have work in the morning.

"Lena come drink with us" Dustin called out to me "No thanks I have to work in the morning" "Everyone has been fucked up a night before they had to go into work this'll be yours." "I can't yall, foreal." I was about to go upstairs "Leave her alone..Lena is a light weight anyway." Royce teased me. I knew what he was doing, using that good ol' reverse psychology and it worked. I'm always up for a challenge. I sat down and took two shots of Vodka to the head while they cheered. After one more shot I poured myself some Moscato and I was feeling just fine. All the guys had left from the table except Dustin and I.

"Why didn't Carnell come? I called him a few times and he didn't answer" Dustin looked at me, scratched his head, adjusted his hat then sighed. "...I'm not going to lie to you, he's with this girl tonight...I'm sorry" I didn't have anything to say to that. What do you even say? I couldn't think of anything for a few seconds. "Are you sure?" "Yeah. She's been at our house a few times." "...Is it Nylah?" I could tell this conversation was making him uncomfortable. "Her name is Mercedes...Look, Lena I hate I have to tell you this but you're just too nice of a girl not to know. Even though he's my brother, I'm not about to stand by and watch him play you like a damn fool. If you were just some hoe I wouldn't even give a fuck..but you..you're just so innocent and I hate to say it but naive when it comes to Nell. I'd just rather you not have to go through all his bullshit." I sat there and took it all in. I shook my head in disbelief. "He loves me. If he didn't love me- " "You must've forgot about the day he gave me you that necklace. Yeah I know about that. If he did love you shit like tonight or that day at the mall wouldn't happen."

Carnell never called me back that night, and he didn't call me the next day either. He's just been strange these past few weeks. No phone calls, no dates, I haven't even been really seeing lately. What if he is cheating on me? I didn't take it into consideration that night Dustin told me he was. Now it crosses my mind more and more. I even rode by his house one time to make sure he was there.

It's my birthday today and guess who hasn't called me yet and it's only 10:30pm. "What did Carnell get you for your birthday?" Kendra asked while curling her hair. "Well I don't even know if he did get me something. He hasn't called or text'd me" I looked straight in the mirror applying my eyeshadow. "Mhmm" Gia groaned with a face. "What Gia?" "I'm not saying anything!" She threw her hands up. "Lena..maybe he's going to surprise you later. You never know." "Oh Kendra please!" Gia said with her hand on her hip. "No offense but I think you can do way better than that nigga. He hasn't even wished you a happy birthday! Any other boyfriend would do that. Is it too hard of a task?" "Maybe something is just holding him up Gia! I'm pretty sure if there wasn't some shit going on I would've got a call." I put on my black mesh bodycon dress. Kendra and Gia gave each other a look. "Everybody just hurry up so we can get some drinks and twerk somethin'" We laughed at Kendra. She was always the one to

light up a mood. Making our way downstairs Royce's friends start whistling and making comments. "Have fun, don't drink and drive and no boys" Royce said not looking at me too scared to see what I had on. "I love you too!" We get in my car and Gia blurts out " Royce can have it anyway he wants it" "what the fuck? Ew!" "That man is fine. Don't be surprised when I become you're sister in-law"

I rock Gucci Louie Prada niggas know I shop at Saks

That's all everyone needed to hear and the club went crazy. I wasn't dancing just sitting and sippin. I definitely got up when "Let Me See The Booty" started blasting. "Oh shit, look at who got some moves." It was my mystery guy. "Are you stalking me now?" I asked playfully. He walked up on me so I could hear him speak. "Of course not, this is just fate running it's course." he smiled "You look really good tonight too." "Thanks it's my birthday." "Happy Birthday! You get to see me on your birthday what a wonderful present for you." I smiled "Are you here by yourself?" "No I'm with my brothers. You want to come to our section?" "Yeah sure." I was going to follow my mystery guy until Kendra and Gia grabbed my arms "No no no! It's time for us to leave!" Kendra yelled. The mystery guy reached out for my arm. "You're leaving already?" "I guess so" "As much as I love randomly running into you I gotta get your number." I couldn't pass this up. I gave him my number. "My names Milena." "I'm Patrick." He held onto my hand. "Sorry to break this up but we really gotta go." They rushed out the club quickly.
