"You think that was a bit psycho?" I ask Lauren while we sit at Starbucks. "I don't know what's psycho with you anymore."
"I mean." She laughs, "Justify it, go ahead." I just told her all the details of Anthony and our date. "He forgot to call me so I helped him remember a bit and called him. Like I said he offered, the date went nice, and he's been texting and calling me regularly since then."
"So what's the problem?"
"He hasn't asked me to go anywhere else. He says he's been busy with work but what if he's fucking around with a bitch or my crazy ass showed him I'm too crazy. He ain't even seen the whole crazy side though."
"I doubt it Lo. August hasn't been hitting me up like that either since our last date and I've gotten the same thing, work. Don't stress it."
I roll my eyes, "If were being played I swear to God."
"We aren't, crazy, besides ain't nobody locked shit down so we're still free to do what we want."
"True... I didn't think about that. So what you wanna do? I know a few people hosting some parties tonight and I know they'll get us in."
"That's cool. I'm all down for more exposure."
"Girl I don't wanna work I'm tryna turn up." I whine. Some parties we work to network and just get our pictures taken and to say we were there but the others are a completely different story. "You can turn up while I sit and look pretty."
"You're no fun."
She laughs. We finish our drinks and head to these photoshoots. "This is so cute." I say holding the outfit up to my body. "Come, try it on." The designer says. "Later Lauren." I say as she goes to the opposite end of the hallway. "Later Lo."
"Alright show me sexy." The photographer says. That will be no problem the male model they have me paired with is fine as hell. "Yes right there freeze... excellent.. excellent... Look at the fire."
45 minutes later...
"And we're done."
"It was a pleasure working with you two." I say to the director and my co-model. "Likewise Ms. Laurent."
I walk to the dressing room and change back into my clothes. After that I sit and wait in the hall for Lauren. I hit up my girl GG and see about this party she's hosting. It's not the usual club atmosphere but if GG is hosting she's turning that bitch out. I'll leave that little detail out with Lauren.
"Girl that was the most craziest shoot I've ever done."
"Why you say that?" I ask as we walk down to Lauren's car. "Girl they had a whole jungle theme going on with vines and shit."
"Oh wow. I had a fine ass male model in mine."
"Girl I wish I could've had that rather than that mess. Where we going?"
"My place. I need a nap and then we can pregame. We're going to this party on the Southside, remember GG? She's hosting it."
"Didn't the last party she hosted get shot up?"
"No. A lil fight broke out that's all. It only happened over there at the hole in the wall place."
"Girl... I guess. You pregaming at home or where?"
"Where you going?" I ask. "No where. I'm coming to your place I was just asking."
"Oh. Well I don't know probably will be at my house."
------------
"These niggas for everybody." I sing along to Kash Doll and sway to the music. This shit has been fun as hell.
"Damn lil mama you feeling the words huh?" A guy says approaching me. "I can relate." I sip on my cup. "I'm Ferrari."
"Like the car?" I ask with my words slowing up. He chuckles, "Yeah."
"I'm London."
"It's nice to meet you Ms. London."
"Likewise Rari."
"Wanna dance?" I sit my cup down where Lauren was at.
The music goes on and on and after a while my feet hurt and I'm drunk as shit. My phone rings in my pocket and I see it's Ant. I'm not about to answer him right now.
I try to walk back to table but ole dude holds tight to my waist. I laugh. "Lemme go sit down and then we.. can dance some more Mercedes."
"Ferrari and how about we go somewhere that's more quiet."
"Okay." I agree smiling.
"What the fuck you doing here?" Anthony says blocking the doorway. "Oh, Hi Anthony." I smile leaning on him. "What you doing with him Lo?"
"Nigga move out the way homie. If this ain't yo bitch you shouldn't be stressing what she doing."
"We were about to leave."
"Step to the side alright London."
"But why."
He pulls out a gun and placing it to Ferrari's chest. I'm watching this shit but I don't hear any shots. It's still music playing and people dancing around. What the fuck. "Come on London."
We walk to the car and Lauren and August are already in this car. We get inside the back and my lean against the window.
"What took y'all so long?" Lauren asks looking at Anthony. "She was bout to leave with some nigga."
"Oh God. I didn't think she had more drinks once I walked over to where y'all where."
"Lauren he had hella cash he was throwing on me. Here have some." I read inside my bra and hand her some ones. "Yo ass ain't drinking nothing else for the next two months." I laugh at her.
"What nigga?" August asks. "Ferrari." I respond. August and Anthony exchange looks. "Like the car." I add then laugh my ass off. "You drunk as hell." Ant says looking at me. "And you're fine as fuck." I grab his face as he swats my hand.
"Don't touch my face." I lean down and kiss his lips.
"Lo."
"What Lauren?"
"Sit down girl. I'm so sorry she's acting like this. This is exactly why she can't get drunk. She can becomes so irritating." Lauren says.
"Fuck. Aug check your phone." Ant says. He grabs his phone and looks at whatever Ant saw. "Damn man. How could you be so fucking careless?"
"I had to watch out for Lo ass. She was right there."
"Lauren I think this might be a hell of a situation but y'all should stay with us tonight."
"Why?" She asks. "The guy your sister was with connected Jimere and shit can get ugly fast."
"The fuck?"
I lean down and lay my head in Ant lap then stretch across the backseat. My eyes become heavy as hell.
