Fighting Feelings

Chapter 20

India

Toya in MM >

Bishop was making my day better with each hour .So far he's given me 12 gifts . These gifts not no five below kind of gifts either .I'm sure they were well over at least 100 a gift. My necklace was more than that coming from Tiffany's .Plus he was buying everything I wanted from the stores .I wanted to question where Bishop was getting this money but I decided not to .

Walking around in the mall girls were giving me evil eyes as Bishop played for my things . I knew back in high school Bishop had every girl falling to her knees . Hell I was one of them I mean Bishop was handsome and his dick game was on point. But little did anyone or myself know Bishop was mine the whole time .

"Babe you hear me?" Bishop snapped me out my thoughts .I shook my head yes .Bishop eyed me with suspicion . I decided to pull him into a kiss letting him know I was fine .

"Mm I think I need to give you some more birthday dick " Bishop joked grabbing my ass .

I laughed pulling away from him . He was something else when it came to sex . Bishop is always hungry for me . As soon as Bishop sees me I know in his head he wants to rip everything off of me and just fuck the shit out me .

Walking back to the car . I felt someone following me . I didn't know if I should look back or not .I tightened my grip on my Bishop's hand and walked faster . Once we reached Bishop's Benz I looked back .

I almost fainted when I saw her .She stood ten feet in front of me . Deep down I knew it was her but she looked different . She looked skinnier and tired .I tool a step forward and she took a step back . Her long curly hair was not straight and messy hiding her face . " Mom ? You ok ?"

She pushed her hair back reveling her watery eyes . "I'm fine I just -I " Her voice was shaky .

Stepping forward she stepped back again ,"You what ?" She whipped her failing tear " I just wanted to say Happy Birthday " She looked to the ground .

"Thanks , are you sure your ok ? If there's-"

"Damnit ! India I'm fine " She yelled at me. Frightening me I jumped . I hated being yelled at . It just scared me for some reason .

I watched as she stormed off . My heart ached seeing her do so . But it meant something for her to say Happy Birthday to me . Part of wanted to run after her but I protested against it .

Looking around my eyes meet Bishops . He placed his thumb on my cheek catching and rubbing away every tear .

The car ride was silent . I keep thinking of how my mom looked . I felt bad for her . As much as I hated the way she came at me I still loved her .

I was so busy in my daze I didn't feel the car come to a stop . I glanced up from my daze feeling Bishop hand on my chin . "Baby don't let it get to you . Today is your day don't but all your worries behind you " Bishop was right . I smiled taking his advice .

Pulling up to Cali house I made sure my makeup was good. Getting out the car I noticed a lot of cars . Cali was throwing me a Party?

Walking inside looking around I knew fore sure he was . I didn't expect to see all the people I did . It was surprise party without the yelling of the surprise . Which in my case was a good thing . I didn't like to be scared to death .

"INDIAAAAA !" Brooke ran to me hugging me like she hadn't seen me all day . "I've missed you . Happy birthday again" . She blew a birthday horn causing the paper to hit my cheek . Brooke dragged me to the kitchen showing me my cake . It was beautiful blue cake with a dream catcher designer along with a gloomy sky background .

I looked around seeing Bishop talking to Rio . "where's Cali" I looked a Brooke munching on some snacks .

"Umm he's around here somewhere" . Brooke trailed to the backyard smiling .

Following her people kept stopping me to tell me Happy Birthday . Mostly family . When I got outside I saw my friend . "Happy Birthday !" All my friends yelled .

I smiled rushing over to them . I've haven't seen anyone since school ended bad enough I'll be leaving in the few days .

"India you look fab girl " Ashanti said smiling showing her perfect white teeth .Ashanti stood 5'6 with black natural curly hair . She wore a red skin tight dress with a small slit in the back .

"Thanks girl , you look good too I see you "

"She don't look as good as me" Toya said flipping her hair . Toya had on a pair of ripped shorts with a Kayne West crop top with some Jordan's . Even though her hair was long Toya had her hair up in a bun .

"Anyways ,where you been ? We haven't seen you seen or heard from you all summer ?Ashanti said .

"We thought you fell off the face of the earth until we saw your dad in Wal-Mart and he invited us to your party . " Toya added .

"I know , I'm sorry so much has happened " I said in defense .

"Yea Cali told us what happened when we started questioning him about you ." Ashanti twirled her hair .

"India you know you could have called us . But then again I would've been the same if that happened to me . " Toya said.

"Lets not talk about that ,ok?" I said dismissing the conversation .

"Here comes Bishop "Toya said poking my side .

Bishop came wrapping his arm around my neck ."Wassup yall " .

"Oh no get off her I know you see her talking to us ."Toya said removing his arm .

Bishop playfully hit Toya ."Bae you going to let her do this."

"Bae?" Toya and Ashanti yelled at the same time .I smiled looking at their surprised faces .

"Oh hell no we need to talk about this",Ashanti said pulling me away from Bishop into the house .

"Girl you need to explain this " Toya scolded me walking down the hall way .

"explain what ? I know yall saw it instagram " I protested .

Ashanti sucked her teeth rolling her eyes . "Details hoe "

I sighed beginning to fill them in on everything .

"Well at least you had someone to spend your hard times with", Toya cooed .

Ashanti didn't have anything to say . I don't know if was just me over thinking but I smelt a bit of hate and a dash of jealously .But I wasn't about to sweat it on my birthday . One day she'll get tired of fighting the feelings and speak up .

"India!" Brooke yelled through the house .

"In the kitchen boo "

Brooke came in the kitchen with her sundress flowing ."Everyone its time for India's gift" . With that being said someone placed a cloth over my eyes .

"Do I really need this " I complained . Someone grabbed my hand leading what seemed to be outside since I felt a breeze .

"Ok you ready India?" Brooke's voice traveled through my ears .

"Yess"I was not excited to see .

"Ok , 1..2..3" The cloth was removed my eyes . I looked up and meet a brand mew sliver Audi A8 .

"Happy Birthday !"Brooke and Cali screamed with excitement .

I jumped up and down rushing over to hug Cali then Brooke . They were the best .

I ran over to my Audi opening up the door hopping in. It felt good sitting inside . The new car smell never smelt so great .

I smiled hopping out and over to Cali hugging him . "Thank you so much daddy" .
