Aaliyah's POV
"So Pay you had a great time I assume?" I asked my friend who was busy taking snapchat selfies in the front seat next to me."Yeah, it was honestly such a dope way to kick off the summer." She said before returning her attention back to her phone.
The rest of the car ride was filled with loud music and loud bass.
When we got home I kicked my shoes off and brought my computer over to my desk to get started on this final draft.
"Hey Aaliyah is it cool if I crash here tonight? I'm still a bit high and I'm super tired."
I laughed a bit at the fact her eyes were barely open but she claimed to only be a "bit" high. "Yeah no problem babes. You can borrow some of my pajamas, you know where they are." I said as I turned around to get back to my article.
2 hours later
After a few hours of editing and proof reading my article was finally finished. I hit the send button to my boss and closed my laptop.
When I entered my room I found a passed out Payton. I changed into a big comfy t-shirt and my all black nike pros. As soon as I got in bed I remembered I left my phone in my backpack. I lazily got back to grab
Finally back in bed I pushed the home button on my iPhone 8 and saw I had an unread message from an unknown number.
Unknown number: Hey ma it's Diego!
I sat for just a second in disbelief that he actually texted me. I snapped myself out of it and was quick to reply.
Lil ma: Hey! Thanks again for the interview. It turned out really well!
Diego💔: yeah no problem ma, we should kick it tomorrow. Ill be in the studio by 2. You and your friend should come by?
I felt kinda excited he wanted to hangout with me, but then again he probably invites a lot of girl to the studio.
I pushed my thoughts to the back of my head and decided to just say fuck it and kick it with him anyway.
Baddie from the bay😝: yeah that would be hella dope! I'll see you tomorrow a girls gotta get her beauty sleep💁🏻♀️
Diego💔: Good night ma.
With that I locked my phone and let my heavy eyelids fall.
The next day
I woke up to the sound of the shower running. I rolled over and looked at my phone for the time. It read 12:15.
"Oh shit" I muttered out loud remembering I told Diego we could kick it today.I knocked on the bathroom door, "Pay hurry up I need to take a shower too!"
Wishing 2 minutes the shower stopped.
"Finally! I told Diego we would meet him at the studio to kick it with him and his friends." I informed her as I made my way to the bathroom.As I got in the shower I heard the bathroom door open, I peeked my head out of the shower to see Payton getting the blow dryer out.
"So Liyah whats the deal with Diego? You gave him the digits huh?" She smirked at me waiting for the details.
"He's cool, but i can tell you that nothing will happen. He's like the type of guy who just wants a bitty call and I have way to much self respect for that." I said as I finished washing the conditioner out.
"Okay but like what if he is into you then what?" Payton continued to pry.
"Then I'll figure it out, but now I need to get out of the shower so bye!" I laughed as I reached for my towel.
Payton left the room and I dried off putting my clothes on which was a white crop top that said BACKWOODS in a purple font with my white jean shorts.
I walked out of the bathroom to see Pay doing her makeup at my vanity. I joined her and we did our makeup and hair.
By the time we were done it was already 1:30.
"Okay Pay we gotta go!" I yelled from my kitchen.
"Okay bitch lets go." She said heading towards the front door."Wait! I wanna bring some weed and backwoods so we don't look like we're trying to bum their weed and shit." I stated grabbing an ounce from my coffee table drawer and the backwoods from my kitchen drawer
"Good point, I dont wanna seem like the bitch who can't afford her own shit." Payton said while giggling a bit.
The car ride there was short, I texted Diego when we got there so he could come meet us outside.
The baddie from the bay😝: Hey we're here!
Diego💔: okay on my way down ma.
We pulled up listening to moonlight blasting through my speakers, the sub in the back making the whole car shake.
I looked over at the front entrance of the building and saw Diego there waiting.
I parked the car and proceeded towards him.
