𝔗𝔚𝔈𝔑𝔗𝔜 𝔈ℑ𝔊ℌ𝔗 ✔️

"You so cute!" I squeal quietly into Zion's neck making him let out a deep chuckle. I sat on his lap, my chest against his and my face in his neck breathing in that bomb cologne. His hands hung loosely on my waist as he watched the tv in the living room.

"Okay so are we going to plan this party out or what?" Nick says walking in and plopping on the couch next to us.

"Who's it for?" I ask in confusion, lifting my head up to face him.

"Everyone. Just a party to start the summer fun!" He smiles making me raise my eyebrow.

"It's the middle of the summer." I deadpan.

"I know but nothings been poppin off anywhere so we have to kickstart it here." He shrugged and I did too. I haven't been to a party in a while and it's just what i need.

I suddenly felt my phone ring in my pocket.

"Wassup." I answer instantly.

"Oooo bitch get your ass over to Oscars casa because I have some chisme to tell you." She instantly says and I can tell she was talking through the Bluetooth because of the sound quality and i knew she was most likely driving recklessly. She does that when she's nervous.

"Okay girl but 1) who is it about? And 2) drive safely right now because I know your not." I scold her and I hear a car honk at her confirming my worries.

"I'm sorry chica but you know how I drive when I'm pissed!" She covers for herself.

"Where are you driving to?"

"I'm driving back to his house. I was there but I had to get out to think for a minute," she said and she sounded out of breath, "just meet me there now."

"Okay okay!" I surrender and go to press the end call button but not before hearing her say,

"Pinche gringa estupida.."

I quickly hung up and laughed to myself knowing she was cussing out a random lady and gave Zion a kiss on the cheek.

"I have to go but keep planning this party and send me the info." I tell him and Nick.

We all said bye and I hopped in my car and drove away blasting childish gambino.

I sat on Oscars bed across from Linda with my legs crossed ready to hear about anything, we were alone and all the homies were playing 8 ball outside on the pool table.

"First," She starts, "Oscar and I have a little thing." She winces and looks up at me to see my reaction.

"I- What." I say confused.

"I don't know how or what happened  but we were sitting on his bed, just me and him, I don't even know what we were doing but I know that we were as sober as we were born. He just kissed me and told me he has always wanted to do that." She tell me while my eyes and mouth are wide open.

"I asked him what he was doing and he said 'following his dreams'. We made out and one thing led to another and I woke up naked cuddling with him because of the loud tv in the morning." She looked off into the distance as if remembering.

"No one saw you two?" I asked quickly.

"No one saw us," she confirmed, "but I tried to get out of bed quickly and quietly but I guess not enough."

I gasp, "he woke up?"

She nodded, "he grabbed my wrist and asked me to stay. He told me that he liked me and asked me if I wanted to try to be with him."

I cooed, "awww.."

"Anyways I said yes but we are taking it slow." She finished and smiled. For the past few months, this is the first time I've seen such a genuine smile. She's had a lot of stuff going on recently.

"I'm so happy for you." I tell her with everything I have in me. She deserves it. "By the way, Zion and I are dating." I slip in.

She slapped me in the arm, "why am I only hearing about this now?!"

"He's famous Linda," I tell her seriously, "he doesn't need the stress or the press. Well technically fans saw the hickeys we gave eachother." She gasps dramatically.

"But honestly, I'm scared that the fans won't like me, it's not that hard to find out all the shit I did or do. Their going to think I'm a bad influence. Their going to split us apart.." I feel my voice crack at the end and for some reason my eyes burn and become cloudy.

"Why am I crying?" I ask myself and laugh while wiping my eyes.

"You must have been subconsciously worried about this, and talking about it is opening up that fear." Linda tells me and reaches for my hand in my lap. She holds it tightly in hers.

"Don't worry," she smiles at me, "your fight is mine..." she starts.

"And your pain is mine." I finish and lean over and hug her.

My head lay on her shoulder and her head lay on mine, "didn't you guys fuck on this bed?" I ask not moving.

"Yes, yes we did." She whispers not wanting to ruin the moment.

"Did you guys wash the sheets?" I ask finally clicking it together in my head.

"No, no we didn't." She laughs and we pull apart in a fit of laughter.

"Nasty, I'm outta here." I laugh getting off the bed.

"Let's go grub!" She cheers happily and we walk out of the house and into the kitchen to grab my keys and I see Linda looking at Oscar playing pool through the kitchen window.

Oscar looked back at her and winked making her blush and I nudged her arm and we left.
