Birds in the trees

Beautiful

Imans POV

I looked at myself in the long full body mirror, standing beside my rack of clothes. Get together, I thought, what do you wear to a friendly get together? I checked the time. 9 pm. Neelam would be here in 30 minutes.

I sighed as I mustered the arrangement of large sweater dresses . We're probably just gonna smoke and talk so what's the point of dressing over the top, right?
I decided on wearing some distressed black shorts, another huge olive green sweater and a pair of worn out sneakers. I put a satin black chocker around my neck before getting to my hair. It was still semi straight from yesterday but a couple of waves had gotten back into it, giving it more body. It would probably curl up again once I got out but oh well. I ruffled through it a couple if times and was good to go.
No make up on off days.

Neelam looked flawless. Perfect make up and all. She had on a pair of cut up denim shorts, thigh high boots and a long, vintage band tee.
"You ready?" She asked euphorically.

I sighed as I closed the door if my apartment. "Yeah, let's go."

We got to the door of the house which already led to believe that people were smoking their minds out due to the thick fumes escaping the door slit. The door was shortly opened by vic who was wearing his classic biker jacket over a white shirt his black, blonde dreads hanging down his grinning face.

"We've been expecting you." He joked pulling me and neelam into a hug.

"Whatever man." I chuckled into his neck.

He put his arms around us and led as inside, introduced us to a couple of people, took a couple of pictures, you know, we just did the regular party stuff until I had to use the loo and had to leave them behind at the living room.

I pushed myself past the tight crowed, finally found the bathroom after a couple of moments of helplessness looking around, used it and tried to make my way back to Neely and vic but I didn't know how. It felt as though more people had come since I went to the restroom. It even looked fuller. Great. What now? I felt hands and elbows on and pressing against me, more and more people hovering around. I tried to make faces our but it was just too full.

"Hey!" A dark voice called from behind me, pulling me out of detective mode. I spun around just to see a smiling face before me.

"Lud, hey" I said before hugging him. "How's it going?"

"Great, yeah, good. How are you?"

"Alright." I answered. "Vic exaggerated when he said little get together." I joked, looking around me.

"Yeah, I don't think he meant for it to be this big." Lud called over the mellow music blasting out of the speakers as he tucked a couple of loose strands into his bun. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"Yeah thank you." I said smiling.

Don's POV

I sat on a black couch located on the roof top of the apartment complex as I looked at the dancing, eating, drinking and smoking people standing my the illuminated pool. It was way too packed for my taste but hey, vic liked company so whatever. Besides, I had my peace up here.

"Donald?" I heard a familiar voice call. I looked into the direction of the sound and saw a smallish asian chick in a blue kimono stand in front of me.

"Jhene." I said, as she pulled me into a hug. "How's it going?" I said, avoiding to look at her because I already knew I couldn't handle it. I was still in the process of getting over her and hugging her, feeling her body against my chest and hearing her enchanting voice didn't help my healing. She on the other hand seemed to have taken this very one sided break up, if you can even call it that, pretty good.
