Dangerous Chemistry

Sudden Attraction

April 20, 2005......
   
  "Fuck".... I said to myself. Why the hell is it always some shit when I let Nae talk me into going to these parties ? I don't even do parties, and especially not with these muthafuckas......
  
"What the fuck wrong with you Carmen"? Nae said whispering in my ear.

"I'm Not gonna even say nothing, just know I'm not coming out with yo ass no more."

"You always complaining damn, don't nobody wanna hear that shit". She said rolling her eyes.

I just ignored her and continued to turn my nose up at the scene of party goers.

"Just stay close and follow me, and fix your damn face before we go back here".

"I'm ready to go!" I insisted feeling my anxiety kick in. The loud voices coming from the bathroom distracted me from my unwanted thoughts.

"Um, I thought you was ready to go, don't start doing that neighborhood watch shit". Nae said grabbing my wrist to stop me. I laugh at her remark and continued walking with her still holding on to my wrist.

"I'm done with him, tired of hiding scars and bruises. I thought we was getting somewhere and I walk in here and he got the audacity to be entertaining another bitch!" The girl recognized as Titi said  to her friends that were comforting her.

Titi was 5'6, light skinned with the skin of a baby's bottom, an hour glass figure, and hair so fine and long I just knew she was half Indian or something. She was 3 Years older than me and in her Junior year of college. Top of her class and not because of hard work. I mean the bitch put more work into scamming than into earning her spot. She's one of the most known girls on campus and let's not forget most wanted.

Now I'm not the type to enjoy someone else's pain, but she deserved it. I peeked around the corner watching as she sat staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes swollen and puffy, her makeup smudged from her rubbing her tear soaked face.

"Carmen, come tf on. I didn't get you out to come to no damn pity party. Bitch we have our own problems." Nae said turning to leave. I fall in step behind her, but I can't help but feeling guilty like I'm the one who hurt her.

    "Yo isn't that Deadpool, he must be here with Mitch." Nae said playfully elbowing me. "Good for him, now I'm really ready to go." I said walking towards the exit.

"Ok, we can leave right after I get this money from Mitch. I promise we'll leave right back out." She said tugging me towards the other way.

"Make it quick Nae!"

"Alright Alright, come on."

     As we entered the door a cloud of thick smoke filled my lungs. I instantly covered my face to escape the loud smell of marijuana. Don't get me wrong I've been around people smoking before but, Damn, everybody had a blunt in there hand...
      Nae stepped back in the hall to talk to Mitch, leaving me in the room full of R.O.E Boyz.

"I know this bitch ain't leaving me in here with these hounds!" I said to myself while Giving her a look of disgust as she left.

These dudes are ruthless and know for harassing and manhandling females.  I stood close to the door just in case I had to make a run for it.....

"Aye baby come here." One of the guys said grabbing my arm and pulling me closer.  His grip was so tight I couldn't pull away. I'm pretty sure my feet weren't even touching the floor anymore.
    His friends just laughed and cheered him on. " Yeah keys, take her down bro"...
"Get her ass bro". The two boys know as Trey and Jr said with mocking tones laughing enjoying the show.

"I'm on her ass" Keys said grabbing him an handful.

I couldn't believe it. Before I knew It I back handed with my ring causing a gash to form on his right cheek.

Everything suddenly got real and the room grew silent....
   
"You done fucked up now" he said tightening his grip around my bony arm.

"Let her the fuck go bro." This Tall figure said towering over me.

He was obviously annoyed by his boys ignorance. Keys stared at me for a brief moment then finally releasing his grip. The look he gave me let know this far from done.

"You'll see me again." He said walking away slowly, with his eyes locked on mine.

I just rolled my eyes looking unbothered.

"You ok sweetheart?" The Tall figure said stepping from behind me.

I froze looking at the gorgeous face before me. His perfect pretty white teeth, his crisp neat lining and low cut that had more waves than a ocean, his bright Hazel eyes matching his smooth golden skin, all the way down to his deep, firm voice. The list could go on, but you get the picture.

He was most definitely the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.

"Carmen, you ok boo?" Nae said touching my shoulders, snapping out my most impure thoughts.

"Yeah, let's go." I said brushing pass the tall figure to head for the door with Nae following close behind.

"Aw shit my mans make her nervous." Mitch said cutting us off at the doorway.

The rest of the boys laughed historically. It pissed me off because I actually was but I wasn't gonna show it.

"Fuck you and your broke ass boys, get out my way clown." I said before rushing past Mitch, almost knocking him off his feet.....

Girl what happened, and why was you staring at Deadpool like a dog in heat, I thought you didn't like him?" Nae said running to catch up with me.

"I can't believe you left me in there with them vultures, do you know what could've happened? Them niggas take what they won't and ask questions later!" I snapped walking out. I was leaving with or without her.

"I'm Sorry." She say, but I ignore her and get in the car.

Nae said nothing the whole ride home. When we reached her house before she got out she apologized for her nonchalant attitude towards the situation.

"I'm sorry Carmen, god knows what could've happened to you. But Deadpool know I mess with Mitch and he know you my girl, he wasn't gonna let anything foul pop off." She said staring over her shoulder waiting for a response.

I couldn't even stay mad. She do stupid shit sometimes but I know she means well. We both burst out in laughter.

"I'll call you when I'm outside in the morning." She nodded and closed the door.

I couldn't get the image of Deadpool out of my mind. I hated the fact I was so attracted to him. That whole clique was nothing but trouble but Deadpool was the worst of them all. I wouldn't dare get mixed in with that drama.

Honestly, I wanted better for Nae and I knew I couldn't change her mind about Mitch. As her friend, I could only support her every step of the way. Even though I still expressed me not approving their relationship....
