One Night (Completed)

8. Aria

"You're lying!" Kennedy claimed as I disclosed what went down Sunday. I shook my head, "I'm not, and I couldn't even come at him about it like I wanted to because I was clearly on a date with Vinnie."

Her eyes got wider, "girl, that's crazy as fuck. Like what are the chances something like that happens?!"

"Slim to none for regular folks, 100 percent likely for me" I laughed, I honestly wasn't even super surprised when I saw Landon out with that girl. That's just the type of nigga he is and I knew that. But I damn sure wanted to throw it in his face how I was right! But I look and sound just as hypocritical, I couldn't get on him for the very thing I was doing as well. But then again it was different because it's not like I was actively pursuing him like he was with me.

However, we hadn't talked since running into each other at Olive Garden and today was now Wednesday. I'd honestly thought about hitting him up, but said fuck it, I'd be damned if I looked like I was stressing over him, he has plenty of girls doing that already. Plus I didn't even really like the nigga, we vibed a little and I won't flex on that but it wasn't that deep.

"Well, they're having a kickback at their place tonight, I say we go." Kennedy insisted as she fixed her hair in the mirror.

"On a Wednesday?" She turned around and looked at me, "uhh yeah, it's Chris' birthday."

Now that made sense, "Ohhh, okay. But no, I'll pass I feel like that might be awkward, literally just told you I haven't talked to him since Sunday."

She rolled her eyes, "that's an even better reason to go. Get extra cute and show that nigga what he's missing."

I contemplated on what she said, but didn't feel the need to do that. Kennedy looked at me, "bitch you're going."

I sighed, "you always trying to make me go somewhere"

She sat down on the bed dramatically, "because I always need my best bitch with me." she said with a smile. I knew I'd be going, part of me wanted to see how things would play out.

Kennedy and I got ready at her place, I planned on staying with her tonight, my professor cancelled class for tomorrow for prior engagements as she stated on Monday and Kennedy just didn't plan on going so we planned on getting a little lit, and we chose her apartment because she stayed closer to their place.

I put the final touches on my makeup as I brushed the highlighter on my cheekbones to make my brown skin pop a little more. Once Kennedy was ready we took a couple of shots and headed out.

Once we got to their place we could already tell it was thick as hell inside, people were standing outside the door, signifying that this was the right place. We walked in and niggas were playing beer pong, taking shots in the kitchen, and some girls were twerking niggas out.

"I want a drink," Kennedy said as she led us to the kitchen. In the kitchen we ran into Jodie, "Aria! My nigga!" he screamed out, I smiled, "Hey Jodie," we hugged, as I realized his loud self caused a lot  of attention because almost everybody looked our way, including Landon who I had just locked eyes with. I quickly took my gaze off of him as Kennedy handed me a drink, and then I put my focus back on Jodie, "aye come talk to me real quick," he demanded as he pulled me to follow him.

We walked in his room and he closed the door, "what's up?" I asked suspiciously. I didn't know what he could possibly want to talk to me about. I took a sip of the drink as I waited for him to speak, realizing it was strong as hell. They were trying to get people fucked up tonight. IM xx
He sat down, "how you and my nigga Landon?"

I rolled my eyes, "ain't no me and Landon."

He laughed, "don't do my nigga like that. He likes you, you don't like him?"
