Chapter 51: The End

Laive

Friday, August 3

Shoot!

Her head was pounding.

"You need a nap?"

L didn't see a damn thing funny. She didn't know why Javeah's laughs wheezed through her esophagus every couple giggles.

"A first aid kit?"

Saniye and Veah were cackling like some old ass hens at bingo night bursting through her door.

"Now Bitch!" Saniye couldn't wait to be messy strolling next to Laive's bedside. "Let me not sit on your bed..."

L rolled her eyes, she didn't have time.

"Who had sex?"

"Oh please Lai. Why ain't nobody tell me we were making dick appointments?"

"WHO Saniye? Who made a dick appointment?"

"The only person in here that's still putting they clothes on." Javeah laughed while Laive tried to apply her lipstick.

"I thought we were coming to Vegas to drink and shake our asses. Had I known we were scheduling back blowout sessions I would have made a few changes to the itinerary."

"Saniye. SHUT. UP."

"Lai, I told you." Veah inspected the covers before she sat down, "I told your ass Trey was gone get you-"

"The bedding was already changed heffa. I'm really about to put the both of y'all out."

"Then you missed all the damn signals! Saniye yelled and we both stared behind you. Your ass still didn't catch on. You wanted to get fucked up."

"I honestly thought y'all had lost your freaking minds. I didn't know he was going to pop up like that."

Laive carefully inspected the skin that wasn't covered by her shorts and tank top. Tremaine left faint red marks and imprints on her neck and the edge of her thighs.

What the freak?

Before she could even process the rest of the evidence he left on her body, Javeah pressed into a small welt on the side of her waist, "Damn. Trey be putting it on your ass."

"Gahhh damn."

"...."

"...Don't look at me and Veah like that. Have you even heard yourself? Sound like you're croaking just to breathe."

"FUCK YOU. Ok." Laive pulled her hair into a top knot, "FUCK you." She quickly pulled a white Nike jacket on, "What time is it?"

"Ummm," Javeah glanced at her phone. "1:49."

"Hurry up. We already had to reschedule for 2:20."

Taking the 15 minute Uber Black ride to their location and checking in a quarter 'til their time, Laive was more excited than anyone.

"We're doing the superman one...it's 11 stories over the strip. Going to be going at least forty miles per hour over 1,700 feet of zipline, 114 feet in the air."

"Nobody asked your ass to read the fucking sign."

"Your scary tail!" Laive was talking to Veah. "It'll be fun."

The quick prep course explained and demonstrated the safety precautions and hazards of the harness, vests, and the launching pad. Her friends were so dramatic. Throughout the entire 5 minute session, they kept bombarding the attendants with unnecessary questions like 'Are they going to die', 'Will they fall or pass out'. One worker responded that those things would happen...only if they wanted them to.
