I went back inside to the kitchen Drake was alone sitting at the bar. He turned around and held his arms open for me. I smiled and walked into his arms.
"I'm sorry Jhene." He said I looked up at him and sighed. "He just gets on my nerves at times."
"Yeah I know. But hes not your problem he's my problem." I pulled back and checked in the cake one more time; it was just halfway baked.
"Why do you always say that?" He sighed and faced me.
"Cause it's true." I shrugged.
"No I mean you use that as an excuse for everything."
"Well I mean Drake that's all I can say. I mean you didn't lay with him to create a baby did you? No, cause I did. So if you don't wanna deal with the effect of things you can go. Honestly your attitude today is completely shitty." I crossed my arms.
"I could say the same for you."
"You guys fight every time your around each other you have to understand that he's still my baby daddy."
"So what he's put on a higher pedestal than me?" He got out of the seat and approached me.
"Relationship wise yes, but only because we have a kid. Plus he's not the one I'm with right now you are. Just because he's higher than you on that level doesn't mean your not higher than him on others. Not that I want to compare y'all either." He rolled his eyes and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Whatever Jhene." He sighed and pulled me closer by the waist.
I looked up at him with the smile I knew he couldn't resist. It took a minuet, but eventually he caved and kisses me deeply.

Mila's birthday today. All I know is I rented the bar for her and everyone special at least is going to be their. Me, Drake, Nicki, Trey, Chris, August, Rih, Tamrie, and Sean. Then there's his plus one if he brings anyone. Hopefully not so I don't hear anyones mouth about it later on. Not that their opinion matters but still.
There was a mountain of presents for her on one end of the bar and a bunch of people handing around. I spotted Nicki at the bar and went over to see her.
"Hey Nic." I said slinging my arm around her.
"Hey Jhene. I been looking for you. Drake said he can't show tonight he had to go out of town something with his mom." She shrugged and I sighed.
"Oh. Okay."
I really hope there is something going on cause if not I hope its nothing to do with the 'argument' we had earlier.
I think I was making a face cause Nicki looked like she was gonna ask me what was wrong until she shut her mouth as Tamrie came over.
"Hey bestie. What's up Nicki?" She hugged us both and we started to make small talk.
-+-
I was feeling pretty good I had about four drinks, but I wasn't drunk. Yet, anyways. I left the dance floor to go sit down.
"Hey sorry I was late Dave needed my help getting Mila her present." Sean said as he sat down next to me.
I looked at him confused and he raised an eyebrow at me.
"Dave who?" I say up.
"Dave East."
"Oh. Wait, why did he need advice on getting Mila a present?"
"They've been seeing eachother for a month. You didn't know."
"No I didn't."
"Mila told us earlier today."
"You mean you and Drake?" I asked and he nodded.
"I wonder why she didn't tell me." I furrowed my brows together and he looked at me skeptically.
"Don't take it to the heart Ne. Shell talk to you soon enough. Look." He nudged me and I looked over to where Mila was.
She opened her present and squealed. He said something in her ear and she blushes before they kissed.
"Wow."
"Yeah he was gushing over her the whole way here. Which made me think about something?"
"Hm?" I looked over at him and he took out a blunt.
"Come on." He motioned for me to follow him and I did.
We went to his car and he locked the door, before cracking the windows a bit. He lit it and took the first drag a pretty long one at that. He then passed it to me and I took two. I caughed looked at him "Mmm, I like this. What is it?"
"That right there, that's some Sativa."
-+-
Milas party was dialing down so I asked Sean to drop me off at home since I figured Mila wasn't coming home tonight. I got to thinking on the way there staring out of the window.
"Sean where are we going?"
"We're gonna go to a restaurant. Why you got somewhere else to be?"
"No I'm good."
"Okay then. We're going to bj's."
(I ate here recently and their boneless wings are great.)
-+-
"How has everything been?" He asked me as we got our food.
"Pretty okay." I shrugged and he looked at me intently.
"What about yesterday?"
"You need to get over the fact that I'm dating Drake or else you'll be the cause of him leaving me."
"Trust me that's not gonna be the reason he'd leave you."
I took a sip of my water and decided now was the time.
"Sean why did you cheat on me?"
"That's the question that I ask myself every day. I still don't know. I had everything I wanted and I threw it away for some girl I'm never gonna see again. I probably saw you on her. We met the same way we did and I saw that same spark in her eye that was in yours. Althought now that I realize it it was a spark of lust not what I saw in you." He said and I put my head down.
"Are you serious? That means I'm replaceable." I started to get upset.
"All the shows I've done over the pass three years Ne you are not replaceable. Your the one for me." He looked me dead in my eyes and I knew he wasn't lying this time.
"Can we get outta here?" I smiled at him and he nodded.
"Yeah."
