Trap Queen: Part 2

Chapter Nine

"Surprise!"

My mouth hangs open in genuine surprise watching my friends and the gang, cheering and clapping.

Adrian comes out of the crowd and straight to me with a huge grin on his face.

"What the hell is this?" I asked, unable to stop smiling.

"I planned a welcome-back-surprise party just for you," he said then kissed my cheek before taking me into a tight hug.

My heart warmed at that thought.

"Thank you," I tell him. "but couldn't you have given me a hint to at least dress better. I look like shit at my own party."

He chuckles, "you look fucking hot, relax."

I roll my eyes. The girl he's talking to is literally a few feet away. But Adrian will always be Adrian. A fine ass fuck boy.

Soon enough, Odin, Angel, Clumsy, and the rest of my closest friends start coming one-by-one to welcome me back. I'm so happy to see them.

Last but not least, Diablo starts walking up to me with his arms wide open getting ready to embrace me. I look past him to only notice Pearla giving me the dirtiest look. Honestly, I feel bad for her. Monica said that Diablo really loves her, and Pearla sure as hell does too, so I don't want to make their relationship any more complicated.

"Welcome back," he said smiling, then takes me into a hug.

As much as I wanted to hug him longer, I let go fast just so that Pearla wouldn't trip. He noticed because I see a frown formed on his face.

"Thanks," I simply say then walk away.

It sucks that us being friends brings a lot of problems in our relationships. So we have to be distant.

Right after that, the DJ hits the music, tequila bottles pop open, and the taco man starts grilling some tacos.

-

The party has started, and let me tell you it's quite a party. There's like forty female strippers, a shit ton of people, drinks, food, and loud ass music.

So for the rest of the night we talked, laughed, and just had a good time. It was great to forget about everything, have fun, and catch up with all of my friends.

It's around ten thirty at night, and I'm exhausted. I'm sitting alone at an empty table with a corona because all of my homies are dancing.

I've been sitting for a while just thinking about a lot of things. I have been trying so hard to not think about Daniel and Diablo to enjoy the party, yet it's impossible.

Daniel, I lied to him. Instead of attending his family gathering like I should because I'm his girlfriend, I'm here getting wasted, having a party of my own, and Melissa is there with him. I miss him. I want to be with him right now.

Then Diablo. The entire time I can feel his eyes glued on me. My reaction to his hug must have made him upset, and I regret it too, well somewhat. I'm glad we're distant right now because I've been feeling a type of way after Monica told me he truly loves Pearla. That shouldn't be an issue. I should be happy, but I'm not? I don't know. Somethings wrong with me.

I'm such a wreck at the moment.

I get out my phone to text Melissa.

VERONICA: Hey, are you guys heading home soon?

Not even two seconds later she replies:

MELISSA: No, we're actually having a great time here. You should have come! His family is being totally cool.
