7pm

We all were getting ready and preparing ourselves for the rooftop party tonight just popping a lot of shit.

"Y'all heard how that wack ass Nigga was talking in the restaurant?" Iman said almost yelling.

Iman did not like the disrespect in how that guy was just talking to him. He was kind of a hopeless romantic; he liked when men were gentlemen and very fairytale like.

"Talking bout some 'yo light skin, you can't speak'.." he continued, mocking the guy from the restaurant.

I laughed at his delivery of what he was saying as he can be extremely dramatic with his expressions.

"He wanted to taste your punani" I joked.

Eli started laughing and made a joke or 2 as well. We continued to talk about the situation as we prepared to get ready to go. We changed our clothes so many times until we finally decided on set outfits.

After completely getting dressed we gathered around and started pregaming. I mean, who goes to a party without getting lit first. We smoked 3 blunts while having pointless conversation as well as taking shots.

By the time we finished fooling around it was 9:30 and time for us to head to the party.

"Iight we out!"

We make our way out of the door taking finally looks at ourselves in the mirror by the door. As we approach the elevator someone come up and off of it so we didn't have to wait for it to come. It took us a minute to reach the lobby considering that we were in the penthouse. When we get to the lobby we waited for our driver who had dropped us off earlier to the hotel.

"There he is." Iman spots them.

All three of us head to the car and hop in and thank the driver for holding open the door for us.

"I hope it's some fine ass niggas there" Eli lusted.

"Word up. I'm trying to catch" I replied, very sure with every word I said.

" You think they're going to have VIP?" Iman asked, tilting his head to the side.

"You know we do not go to parties that don't. Period." I said making the hand motion as I said period.

We all started laughing and started up another conversation.

As the ride goes on I began to wander off into my thoughts. My mind takes time to a whole other world sometimes and I forget where I am. I start to see rainbows and clouds with flying unicorns until I realize, I'm super high.

When I finally snap myself out of the gaze, I look up to find that were outside of the place.

I see lots of people with different colors in their clothes and hair representing for the LGBTQ Community. Men have their shirts off with paint all on their bodies. Women have thongs up their cracks showing off all their curves. It's just a beautiful site to see my people so live and free.

The driver hops out of the car to let us out in front so that we have a straight shot to the
place. When we hop out we see a tall skyscraper and lots of people heading in so we follow them.

"Y'all ready?" I ask toward Iman & Eli.

"Yup, watch each other's backs" Eli replies.

We then head in and look and continue to follow the crowd when we approach a few elevators. We wait our turn until the elevators aren't full and hop in one. No one got on the elevator with us which was kind of weird but we didn't care quite frankly.
