The girls and I decided to go out tonight and I couldn't have been happier to go. With E kind of pushing me to the back burner, I had been a little down lately.
Him and I were never really exclusive, but we always had fun together. I guess part of me hoped that would be enough to make him choose me. He never did though.
I'm fine with it. It doesn't change how I feel. Erik's fine ass could get it any time. I'm not looking for my Prince Charming right now anyway.
When we got to the club, and he covered our charge I was surprised but thankful to save a little cash.
"Damn E could've brought us in with him though" Andrea said, ungrateful for his gesture.
"He probably has business to take care of" I said, defending him.
"Yea and he did pay for all of us bitch...I'll take it!" Nicole added.
We headed inside and hung around the bar for a bit. After spotting E in VIP, I went over to thank him. I noticed that bird Ashante in another VIP section and took my opportunity to show E I hadn't forgotten that he owed me.
I could see the envy in her eyes when we kissed. Good! I wanted her to see that E wasn't wrapped around her finger like she thought he was.
She didn't deserve him.
Her family acted like they were so high and mighty because they had money. I wasn't sad at all when her parents crashed. I did help Jonny set it up after all. He paid me a nice ass bag for my services too.
E didn't know anything about it but I know over the years he has dug up some dirt about the accident. I just hope he drops it.
When he declined my offer to head to the bathroom for a quickie, I wasn't surprised. He probably saw that clingy bitch across the way and had to act like he didn't want all of this. He'll be calling me soon.
I walked away satisfied and headed back to my girls.
"Oww I see you girl...get yours!" Chrissy said.
I did an air cheers with my drink and continued to dance.
Not too much later in the night I wanted to go and check on my hair and make up. Heading to the back, I noticed Ashante's crew standing by the door. They stopped a girl from going in and she walked away. I proceeded to walk in their direction.
"Umm I don't think you wanna...." Kim said.
"Nah it's free...go ahead in" Lauren said to me, interrupting her friend. I rolled my eyes at both of them.
Opening the door, to my surprise I see Erik giving it to Ashante as she screamed out "Daddy" on top of the bathroom sink.
He didn't stop, he liked it.
She noticed me and gave a slight smirk, then, gave me the middle finger.
I was heated! I closed the door and walked off as Lauren and CiCi dapped. Kim laughed.
These bitches thought it was cute to fuck with me. They wouldn't have the last laugh though. Ashante was gonna get what was coming to her.
I walked away defeated but didn't let my girls know that. On my way back to them I bumped into Jonny. He looked delicious, like always, and being that Erik pissed me off, I wouldn't mind getting a little love from him.
"Hey Jonny....looking good tonight"
"Same to you Ms. Tiffany!" he said while he spun me around.
I smiled.
"You wanna dance?" I asked him seductively. He licked his lips while looking me up and down.
"I would love to...let me handle something real quick and I'll look for you later"
I nodded and watched as he walked off. I noticed Erik watching me and he shook his head in disapproval.
Rolling my eyes, I continued to mind my business. Erik had nerve. He had no right to be mad that I was talking to Jonny. He wanted Ashante so worry about that hoe.
I walked over closer to Jonny's VIP section and waited with my girls. Shortly after we heard gunshots and saw a scuffle across the way. People began running all over the place, ducking their heads down as they ran out the club.
Chrissy and them ran out in front of me. I couldn't really see that well with the lighting. Shortly after I felt myself being knocked to the ground. People were trampling on top of me trying to get out themselves. I screamed and cried in pain as I got stepped on.
Suddenly I felt someone pick me up and carry me in their arms. With all the chaos, I looked to see who it was and to my surprise, it was Erik.
Relieved, I lowly cried while wrappong my arms around his neck. We made our way outside and he put me down when we found my girls in the street.
"You good?" he asked. I was in a daze.
"Tiff you good!?" he asked again, shouting the second time. I nodded my head still in shock.
"Aight...Y'all need to get the fuck out of here...Now!" he said before the heading opposite way.
"Girl what the fuck happened?" Chrissy asked.
"You ok?" Andrea asked me. I was still in a daze but nodded slowly.
"Lets go yall" I managed to get out.
My heart was racing and I was so thankful Erik came back for me. I knew he cared for me more than he let on. I wiped my face from dry tears as we climbed into Nicole's car.
"I can't believe that just happened" she said while starting her engine. "I hope no one got hurt" she added.
"I hope my boo gets out of here ok" I said, thinking of E again.
How this man messes with my emotions is ridiculous. One minute I don't care about him, and the next I'm sprung.
Him playing my hero made me hot for him all over again.
