As You Are (The Weeknd)

Is Anyone Drunk?

Abel

    "Yeah, I'm good, I'm good," I said before walking away from the conversation with Crystal hot on my trail. We had been looking for Jayda and Vanessa but it was hard due the crowded mansion and all the people that kept stopping me to talk and the guys flirting with Crystal. I was really ready to just say 'fuck it' and quit but I had already started so I might as well continue looking for both girls.

    "Abe." I turned to see Karim with a drink in his hand and a couple girls on his arm. "Aye, I can't really-" "Why didn't you tell me you was bring the dancers?" Karim asked. I'm guessing he recognized Crystal from the picture. "Slipped my mind," I lied. "This is Crystal. Crystal this is my friend Karim also known as French Montana," I introduced. "Hi, nice to meet you," Crystal said shaking Karim's hand. "Nice to meet you too, gorgeous. Finally met all three," Karim said. I nodded before what he said went through my mind.

    "Hold up, you met Jayda and Vanessa?" I asked. "Yeah they in the living room with Uzi," Karim told me. "Thanks, bruh. Come on, Crystal," I said grabbing Crystal and walking away. I ignored everyone trying to get my attention while Crystal and I made our way towards the living room. I was hoping and praying Jayda and Vanessa weren't doing anything with Uzi that would make them or me look bad. "There they are," Crystal pointed when we made it to the living room. I looked to see Uzi between Jayda and Vanessa on the couch...talking. "What the fuck," I said before approaching the them. The conversation seemed to be serious but the bottle of Ciroc French Vanilla that Vanessa was drinking made me wonder if they were just drunk. I sighed to myself already knowing this was night was gonna be some shit.

    "So you really think that'll help?" Uzi asked Jayda. "Come on, Symere. Of course it will," Jayda responded making me raise my eyebrows. They were definitely drunk if they were calling Lil Uzi Vert by his government name. "You a real one, Jay. You too, Ness," Uzi said giving both girls a hug. Oh yeah, they definitely had to be drunk if he was calling them by their nicknames. "The fuck," Crystal said making all three of them turn around to look at us. "Oh shit, Abel," Uzi said happily before completing turn around and dapping me hug. "What's up, bruh," I said like we didn't see one another twenty minutes ago.

    "Jay, V, meet my nigga, Abel. Well y'all may know him as The Weeknd but his name is Abel. I know him as Abel and Abe, though," Uzi ranted making me laugh a little. "I know them already," I said. Uzi looked at me confused before turning to Jayda and Vanessa who were smiling. "Hey, Abel," both girls said with short waves. "How you know the homie?" Uzi asked. "They're my dancers, no one is supposed to know about them though," I explained. "Oh shit that's lit. Aye, bruh these girls are really sweet and great with advice," Uzi said making me confused.

    "We were giving him some advice on his little love triangle," Jayda clarified looking at my face. I looked at Jayda and Vanessa then at Uzi who was nodding then to Crystal who looked so lost then back to the other two girls. "Are you two drunk?" I asked. "Not even close. We can hold our liquor but we barley drank anything. We were helping him sort out his commitment issues," Jayda told me. "Yeah, I was tryna' dance with them but they didn't wanna look like groupies or look thirsty so after going back and forth we somehow just ended up talking on the couch," Sy added. I smiled and shook my head. It was sort of random but I could tell it was the truth.

    "Well I'm happy everything's good," I said. "I understand but who's the blonde?" Symere asked. "Crystal another one of my dancers," I said. "Hey," Symere waved. "Hi," Crystal said waving back. "I'm gonna go get some food. Jayda and Vanessa, thanks again. I'ma try the weed tea too, Jay," Symere said. They all said their last little statements before Symere walked away to find food.

    "So no one's drunk?" I asked again. The girls laughed and shook their heads. "We're fine," Vanessa reassured me. "So whose idea was this?" I asked. Vanessa looked away but Jayda and Crystal were glaring at one another. "I'm gonna assume it's out of the two five year olds," I said looking the girls. "We were bored and it was our only day off so I suggested the party. I've been trying to get away from this guy all night," Crystal said once she had finally stopped the glare match. "Oh who? Your 'friend'?" Jayda teased. I had already been told about the problem of getting along between Jayda and Crystal. "Aye, aye, none of that. I'ma have my driver get y'all home while I finish enjoying this. I'm not tryna' boss y'all around or be a dick but I do expect what I said to be followed," I said in reference to them remaining a secret. The girls looked disappointed but I didn't care.

    "I'm gonna call to make sure y'all get back to the hotel safely," I said before getting my phone out of my pocket. I sent a text to my driver before gesturing the girls to follow me. Jayda and Vanessa got up from the couch and I started walking them to the door. Of course, I had to make sure they were all following me because it was too many thirsty niggas here. Plus Jayda was looking bad in that dress. It showed off her curvy figure perfectly and her nipples.

    Pushing away the image from my mind, I turned to the girls once we had reached the girls and were outside. When my driver pulled up, I told them all goodnight and watched as they got into the black SUV. Still couldn't help but stare at Jayda's ass. My driver nodded to me after closing their door then walked back to the driver's side. Once he pulled off, I sighed and went back to enjoy the party.

Jayda

    "Well that was fun," Crystal said sarcastically when we entered our suite. "I enjoyed my time," Vanessa said walking to the kitchen. "She just made she lost her fake ass Givenchy jacket. That's karma for ya' ass" I said taking my heels off. "It was from Fashion Nova, not Givenchy. I just wanted Kaleb to go away," Crystal matter of factly. "Yeah, wish the could surprise me but it doesn't," I said walking away to my room.

    The sound of my phone ringing made me take it out of my clutch. It was an unknown number so I ignored it. I threw the phone on my bed and plopped down next to it. Tonight was fun but it could've been better if we could've stayed instead of being forced out by Abel.

    My phone rang again making me grunt in frustration. I grabbed the iPhone we were bought and looked to see it was the same number calling again. "What?" I asked answering. "Damn, Jay. Am I interrupting something?" I heard Abel say. The faint sound of music was in the background so I'm guessing he went somewhere a little quieter. "If we could've stayed at the party you would've," I stated making the singer chuckle. "With who? You and Symere?" Abel asked. "Oh no, I don't like short guys." "Good to know," Abel said in a certain tone. I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at it. Is this man trying to flirt?

    I smirked at the comment but I knew better than to flirt with my boss. "What you on my line for?" I asked once I put the phone back to my ear. "Just making sure y'all got home safely," Abel told me. "We did," I simply stated. "Good but I also wanna say I'm sorry. I don't want you and the girls thinking I was tryna' boss y'all around because I don't mind y'all doing shit. I just wanted y'all to stay lowkey till it's time for everybody to know," Abel explained. "I understand, you like the mystery of your life." "Exactly," Abel said.

    "Yeah well enjoy your night. We have rehearsal at twelve so I should get some rest," I said. "Alright. Goodnight, Jayda." "Goodnight, Abel," I said before hanging up the phone. I stared down shaking my head before putting my phone on the dresser. "Hot ass mess," I said standing up to slip out of my dress.
