Desmond
As he walked in the outrageous house party various scents tackled his nose. Weed, desire, nervousness, lust etc. All these scents played with his nose as he scoped everything out. Desmond seen a chance to maybe expand friendships & break his walls down. Dez seen potential clients he could transform into fiends. All in all it was going to be a great night.
"Man whatever you couldn't handle me anyway, your mom could though!" John (J) shouted across the club at some girl. Ben & I exchanged looks then laughed heading over to him.
"J. Bro you have to learn to accept rejection you cannot get them all & at this rate you shouldn't want then!" I exclaimed in a humorous tone. Ben still couldn't catch his breath from laughing so hard.
J huffed. "Man I'm just trying to get it all out of my system before they ship me off. If I get as much pussy as I can now I won't even think twice about it at camp".
Realization hit me. It slipped my mind that my childhood friend was going off into the Navy in less than 4 months. That almost dampened the mood until it was taken over with bewilderment. 'There's that smell again' I thought. I looked around everywhere & could not find the source. I buried his hands deep into his pockets, hiding my anxieties. Ben & J were discussing women and their particular type while I was trying to get my head back on straight.
"Aye", I interrupted, "somebody roll up I am not toasted enough yet to deal with y'all fools" I joked.
"Well are you toasty enough to deal with me? Act like you don't know nobody since you call yourself running away" some mysterious girl approached with much attitude. Who ever she was, I could not put his finger on it.
" 'Cuse me shorty I believe you got the wrong guy." I squinted in the dark lighting trying to make out features.
"OH SO YOU WANNA BE BRAND NEW? IT'S ME PARADISE!! Play dumb all you want to Desmond!!" This Paradise girl exclaimed loudly. She was definitely into causing scenes and by the way Desmond was clenching his jaw, he hated scenes...
"I knew I shoulda stayed my black a** at home..FUCK!" I wasn't here for it.
Cinnamon
Sapphire & I walked in the party knowing everyone there. I may be a bookworm but I was very much known for my beauty, my laugh, & my intellect. As I checked out everything inhaling the atmosphere I smiled exhaling. Just as quick as I smiled, it vanished at the whiff of a particular scent. I thought to myself 'There is no way in hell I could just randomly smell things that aren't there'. That particular scent sent flashes of memories consisting of giggling, kissing & a sh*t ton of crying.
"Mamí you good? Look like you seen a ghost! Come on loosen up babes go mingle I'll get us some HunchPunch." Sapphire tried to ease Cinnamon's nerves. Cinnamon decided to walk deeper into the building when she heard yelling across the room. 'I know damn well that is not who I think it is' Cinnamon thought. She immediately darted the other way trying to ease into some type of conversation.
"Aye my mans wanna holla at you" some chump was talking towards me but nothing was received. I continued to people watch & occasionally dance to a couple songs.
"Well f*** you too then b**** you ugly anyways" he retorted.
"Yeah but this b**** is smarter than you'll ever be, clown. Go read a book & learn how to approach a Queen when you see one, hun." I replied without batting a lash. As the bum sulked away Ben slid next to her.
"Hey ain't you that girl that got that award for something really really smart like science fair or something", he tried to get her to understand.
I laughed, " Yeah that's me nothing but brains."
"Well I just wanted to say you are really something & I admire your hustle ma.." Ben stated before disappearing.
"Thank..you" I blushed looking around. "Where's Sapphire crazy self?" I asked nobody in particular.
"Nah check ya girl don't try to check me! NO GET YOUR HANDS OFFA ME YEEN NONE OF MY DADDY!! CINNAMON GET THIS BOY OFFA ME!" Sapphire shouted from the upstairs balcony.
"Just what I needed..next time I'm staying home" I huffed running to Sapphire's rescue.
