Love Galore

The Night Is Still Young

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. I sat at up on the counter and scrolled on my phone for a bit before i had to leave for the party. I heard someone come through the garage door. I stayed on my phone not caring that it was Rihmeek
"Hey beautiful" he said while walking over to me cheesing
"Mhm" i just gave him a head nod
"What's wrong with you?" He asked while turning his back to get a beer out the fridge.
"Thought you weren't going to make it to the party, where's your little friends ?" I sat my phone down and eyed his ass.
"I decided to come home and celebrate with you, because today is a special and amazing day for you" i sighed and held my head down.
"It was supposed to be, but it isn't."
He picked my head up and kissed me, i needed his lips all day they felt so soft.
"Mm.." i smiled. He laughed and laid his head on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry i ruined your day, but I'm here now and we are about to go party girl so come on" he picked me up off the counter and put me on the floor. I put my hand on his chest.
"No babe you didn't ruin my day, someone else did"
I lied because at least he's trying to be here for me you know?
"Stop lying, i know you were upset about me saying i was going to be late to your party." He chuckled
"You right nigga i was but no someone else really ruined my day but i don't want to talk about it right now because I'm not trying to ruin my make up" i said while picking my phone up and looking at myself in the front camera.
"Well just tell me the important parts then because i want to know" he said while crossing his arms
"Okay... Alex hired another Vice President to basically help me do my job and if i fuck up this project she's going to take my place" at that point i was trying my best to hold back my tears. I hated this, is it because i worked harder than all my male coworkers to get here, i studied every magazine article the covers the inside news/gossip articles hell my ideas put this magazine company on the map but where's my credit and my respect. Yeah i got the position i wanted but I'm being treated like i don't know how to do my job.
"He What? Wow well i hope that old bitch stays in her place, he always hiring old bitches" i laughed before i got promoted there was always older women in charge like they were in their 50's hell they looked like Cruella devile.
"Nah bae she not old, she's about the same age as me i think and she's black" i said putting my hands on my waist.
"You think you got some competition?"
I leaned up against the counter, maybe i do have some competition.
"Who knows but I'm definitely not letting her take my place, you know she's going to be at the party tonight."
"Oh really, and you're okay about that ?"
"No but i didn't have a choice."
"There's always a choice Nic"
I knew that i just couldn't help but think maybe Alex and Vanessa are plotting on me, they might try their best to break me but i never lose.
"You're right but i want to see if i can maybe read her get to know her so she won't try to steal my spot" he shook his head and shrugged. I grabbed my phone and we headed for the garage. I walked to my car and unlocked it and got in on the passenger side. He looked at me crazy.
"Really Nic?" I just pulled out my phone and acted like i was doing something. He sighed and got in and shook his head at me. I giggled. He never wants to drive when we're together.
"I forgot to tell you to invite some of your friends to the party is it too late for them to come ?"
"Nah i can call them up real quick" he pulled out his phone and started calling his friends. We backed out the driveway and headed down the street to Lisa's. Once we pulled up i got out but Rihmeek stayed in the car, i waved at him but he kept talking on his phone so i just walked away and went to the front door and knocked 3 times. Not even a second later Lisa opened the door but she didn't look as happy as i thought she would be.
"Damn did i ruin your mood?" I giggled
"Girl no the Devil is here early" i sighed
"Good i need to talk to her anyway" we walked to the living room and i saw Vanessa standing by the couch on her phone. I tapped her on her shoulder and she turned around with no facial expression just a look.
I can't lie she looked really good, i loved her outfit we were matching with the boots and black pants. She has good taste.
