waiting for you - zion kuwonu

siete

As we pulled up to the prettymuch house, we knew we looked fire. We had spent the car ride over here getting hype and bumpin to our superior playlist.

(a/n my spotify playlist "barbecue sauce" is hella good, spotify is zoe.morland)

Despite initially being hesitant about the party, we were now excited and I couldn't wait to meet KYLE. If Zion lied to me though, he's going to die and he knows that. We made our wait into the house and I was immediately pulled into a huge hug by my best friend.

"Hey mamas, I wasn't sure if you were actually going to make it," he smiled to me.

"C'mon, I'm a woman of my word, however, if you're lying you best be sleeping with one eye open," I responded threateningly. Zion greeted Olivia and Gianna as the other mara sibling bounded over.

"Gigi lovely to see you, Livie very sisterly of you to arrive," He told them, obviously intoxicated.

"Glad to see they let you out of the basement for once," Gianna giggled before following him into the kitchen to get a drink.

"OOOOHHHHLEEEEVEEEEEUUUUHHHH!" shouted Austin from across the living room, "Come hangout with me, I'm lonely."

She laughed, "I'm coming Aussie." She left Zion and I alone.

"Wanna get a drink?" he asked.

"Nah, I brought a blunt, I just need a lighter. And where the fuck is KYLE? I wanna meet my boy,"  I whined.

He reached into his pocket and tossed me what I needed. "Let's go outside first though."

I followed him into the backyard and sat down next to the pool, dipping my feet in the water. I lit my blunt and took a puff. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer.

"You know I'm always going to be here to support  you bubs."

I nodded and looked ahead at the beautiful views of Los Angeles ahead of me. Unfortunately, his touch sent shivers down my back. I'd always been attracted to him but when we became such good friends, I'd pushed it all down for the better of our friendship. Then I met Jason, and well, the rest is history. He would never like me like that though so I guess it's best that I just put the thoughts to the back of my mind. We both sat in the comfortable silence and just enjoyed the calm for a bit. Our virtual meditation was interrupted when a familar voice tapped zion on the shoulder.
"Aye bro, you said there was someone you wanted me to meet?" Kyle told him. I turned around and immediately started beaming. I'd loved his music since high school and had never even dreamed of meeting him.

"Yeah man, she's right here," He pointed to me, "This Isabelle, Isabelle, Kyle, Kyle Isabelle."
I went to shake his hand but he went for the hug. I happily embraced him back and at this point my inner fan girl was going crazy. 

"Aye cutie, how come I've never seen you at one of these before?" He asked me.  

My cheeks were blushing like crazy but I pushed my hair behind my ear and answered; "probably because before a graduating a bitch spent all her time studying, yknow tryna make the most of that education. Not all of us are extremely talented musicians that get to skip the whole college thing." Behind me Zion laughed and passed me the blunt. 

"She graduated from UCLA's film program this year and they only accept like fifteen people a year," he bragged for me. 

"Aye she smart smart, and film do you wanna be a director or a writer or ?" Kyle asked. I was internally freaking out throughout the entire conversation because it all felt so normal and mundane? I couldn't explain the feeling of meeting your idol and then immediately feeling like friends. 

"Yeah, I wanna be a director but more for music videos and short films than real big screen movies ," I explained to him. 

"That's so cool man, and look i don't rlly know you but I've got a new song coming out and maybe you can make your music video debut with it?" He offered.

I didn't think twice. "Of course! Wow thank you so much," I responded, astounded by the opportunity. 

Zion coughed awkwardly behind us, "Well, Imma leave y'all here," before walking back into the house. The two of us stayed outside and talked about his music and my channel and everything else. As the party died down, we exchanged numbers so he could contact me about the video. I still didn't know if he was joking or not but this was a big opportunity no matter what.
