*2 weeks later*
Mariana's POV
It's been a couple weeks and things have been okay with Jo'Siah. We haven't brought up the conversation in the car that day and honestly don't want too, I'd say I'm over it but I'm not, so im going to pretend to be.
Our party started at 9 tonight, it was still really early but we forgot some stuff so I made Jo'Siah run and get it while I decorate. I had to put up the streamers, balloons, and make the foods and fruit punch. That took a couple hours. I laid everything out on the table and decided to go get ready since now it was 630pm.
I hopped in the shower, did my hair and makeup and got dressed. My outfit was banging and I wanted to snap a pic but I was just gonna wait and get one with Jo. He came in loud asf.
"BESTIEEEEEEE?" he yelled. I heard him coming up the stairs, he look so cute in his outfit.
"When did you even get dressed mf?" i asked, seemed like he been gone all day.
"just right now, arent i cute?" Jo'Siah was beyond cute, this man was fine! "yes bestie, your cute, lets get a pic to post on Insta" he didn't hesitate, he pulled me in and set up the camera.
**************
It hit 930pm and people were rushing in, friends from highschool, childhood friends and our Facebook invites, the party was jumping. I just hope don't no shit pop off. I looked across the room and seen Jo with some hoe, he was touching all on her, which let me know, he was drunk. Jo ain't never touched any of these girls so I knew what was up.
My phone rang and Damian was calling, I answered.
"Hi baby?"
"Hey ma, im finna slide, work called me off" I just replied okay and hung up. I knew Damian was okay with Jo, but once he seen us, in our costumes, together, it'd be a different story.
I went over to the punch bowl to get a drink when I heard someone yell "SHOTS" from behind me, I went to check it out, Bryan, one of my childhood friends, spotted me.
"Just who I was looking for!" he lined up 5 shot glasses in a row, one with Hennessey, another with Everclear, one with Vodka and the last two with fireball. He looked at me. "well these are for you" and I downed all 5 shots within seconds.
It took a minute but I was feeling great, I grabbed the half bottle of crown I had in the back of my fridge and was drinking that too, Jo was by himself on the couch so I sat next him and laid my head on his shoulder.
"Great party so far huh?" he laughed, he knew I was lit. "Yeah for you too, hugged up on that hoe Sara" "man chill out Bestie, im just having fun" he irritates me. "better not be too much fun, I'll beat your ass" he laughed but I was dead ass, we locked eyes, and I know it was the liquor taking over but it seemed like we both couldn't help the tension we we're feeling, our lips met and we kissed, deeply, shit was getting heated.
Jo'Siah's POV
When I looked into Mari's eyes, I felt something, a feeling I just had to have. Our lips met and I couldn't help but to tongue her the fuck down, I'd say I'm lit but that wasn't the word, I was drunk. People always saying "drunk actions are sober thoughts" and in this situation here, i believed it.
"BRO WTF!" out of no where I felt Mari getting snatched up by Damian and he dragged her outside. I followed, cause like I said before I will fuck Damian up over her.
"Baby wait, wait let me explain" Mari was crying, trying to get Damian to calm down, but he pushed her hard asf and she fell to the ground, of course I stepped up. I punched Damian in his shit, knocking him back, he swung on me but i ducked it and punched his ass in the nose, that shit instantly started bleeding.
Mari got up and tried to stop Damian from charging me but he punched her knocking her back down, this time she tried to stop me instead. She got to me and as soon as she did, Damain pulled out a gun on me.
"Jo'Siah, stop, please" she cried to me, holding my hands down to my side. But I was not done with his ass. I didn't wanna throw Mari off me but I had to get to this nigga. Holding a gun to me? Fuck no, I knocked the gun out of his hand and punched him again and Mari got in the middle of us.
"JO'SIAH GO BACK IN THE FUCKING HOUSE, I GOT THIS" she was holding this nigga hand.
"YOU DEFENDING HIM NOW MARI, LOOK AT YOUR FUCKING FACE BRO!
HE JUST HELD A GUN TO YOUR BESTFRIEND" I was heated.
"JO I DON'T NEED YOU TO FIGHT MY BATTLES FOR ME, I SAID I GOT IT"
"You heard her bro" Damain said to me.
"MAN YOU BETTER SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I KILL YOUR ASS, AS FOR YOU MARI, FUCK YOU" i started to walk away, but she grabbed my arm.
"WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH JO'SIAH? LIKE HONESTLY"
I wanted to tell her the truth, about how I loved her and been in love with her since we were 11 years old and it took all this shit to happen for me to realize it, but I couldn't tell her that, not right now at least, I just mugged her and Damian and went back in the house.
I plopped back down on the couch, grabbed the bottle of Henny sitting on the table in front of me and just started drinking my feelings away. I didn't give a fuck about nothing right now.
