I walked into Vanessa's room since I didn't know what to wear for this party tonight.
Me: who are you on facetime to?
Vanessa: my brother.
I jumped on her bed taking her phone.
Me: hello shitface aren't you getting ready?
Romeo: na, you know we've gotta give you ladies a couple hours head start to put your faces on.
Me: whatever ugly.
Romeo: what time should we come to yours?
Me: in a hour.
Romeo: we can pre drink at yours right?
Vanessa: of course.
Me: I'm not drinking tonight.
Romeo: since when?
I instantly started smiling as Corey took over the facetime.
Corey: hi friend.
Me: hi Susan.
Corey: I swore you told me you're going to drink with me tonight.
Me: I don't recall?
Corey: oh so one of us is a liar huh?
Romeo: bro can I get my phone back?
Corey: one second I'm talking to my friend.
Vanessa: trust me Romeo. I was talking to my brother before you two rudely interrupted us.
Corey: text me Imarni.
I bit my lip as Vanessa grabbed her phone back hanging it up.
Vanessa: was he the guy you was talking to the other day?
I slowly nodded as she started screaming.
Vanessa: yaaaaaas. You need to secure that.
Me: na, I told him we should stay friends.
Vanessa: are you serious? If he wasn't my brother's friend I would've tried it already.
I rolled my eyes as she started to get excited all over again.
Me: I just need a break right now.
Vanessa: he's a good one, trust me.
Me: Jamal would kill me if I even tried it.
Vanessa: Jamal who?
Me: you're such a bad influence.

JAMALS POV:
I was in demaris room playing his ps4 when Imarni decided to pop her head around the door all dressed up. I can't lie, she's looking real good.
Imarni: just so you know we're doing pre drinks here before we go out tonight.
Demari: with who?
Imarni: Romeo and a couple of his friends.
Demari: sounds good, we might join in.
Me: speak for yourself, I have work in the morning.
Imarni: feel free.
I pressed play on the game since she left the room. Only for demari to pause it again.
Demari: have you two still not made up?
Me: na she spazzed out on me today so I'm done trying.
Demari: she's just hurt.
Me: &I was hurt multiple times watching her go back and forth to Tyree but I never once treated her like this so I'm not wasting anymore energy on her.
Demari: kool. As long as you're doing what's good for you.
Me: I'm done chasing her over one mistake.
Demari: you sound like you need some alcohol in your system, let's see what they're doing.
Me: kool but I'm not drinking.
I went into the kitchen sitting on a stool biting my jaw trying to hide the fact that I'm pissed off. Why is Corey here?
Corey: what's good Jamal?
I nodded at him and the rest of the guys that were here. We both had a staring match, he better not be trying to do what I think he is.
Corey: you two not coming out tonight?
Demari: na we didn't get an invite.
Corey: did Imarni not invite you?
Aight imma head out... I got up leaving the conversation cause I know it can only get worse if I stay.

IMARNI'S POV:
Romeo: shots everyone?
I sighed out taking a shot glass from him. These guys are trying to kill me tonight.
Me: this is my last one I swear.
He counted down for everyone to take their shot. Once I recovered I took everyone's glass bringing it back to the bar where Corey followed.
Corey: are you ready to talk now?
Me: about what?
Corey: your past relationships.
Me: oh so you want to do that now? Whilst I'm drunk so I can tell you more than you should know?
Corey: you can tell me as much as you like.
I shook my head pulling him onto the dancefloor.
Me: let's dance instead.

Me: hi Tyree.
Tyree: do you need me to come and get you?
Me: nope, I'm at Romeo's house already.
Tyree: doing what?
Me: nothing.
I accepted his facetime request but he didn't look too happy.
Tyree: is that blood on your face?
I stared at my reflection in my phone confused until I could see what he meant.
Me: no it's ketchup, I had some chips.
Tyree: sounds like you had a good night?
Me: yup.
Tyree: why did you call?
Me: because I love you.
Tyree: I love you too but it's 4am and you're drunk.
Me: so?
Tyree: so are you not going to get some sleep?... In your own bed.
Me: I can't, my bed isn't here.
Tyree: okay, how about we stay on the phone & you go to sleep.
Me: you see, this is why I love you.
**
I woke up to somebody throwing their guts up in the bathroom. I picked my phone up to see Tyree fast asleep on facetime... When did I facetime him?
Me: Ty?
Tyree: baby?
Me: did I call you?
Tyree: yeah, you were drunk.
Me: sorry.
Tyree: it's kool. I missed you anyway.
I sat up looking at Corey since he came into the room.
Corey: I'm going McDonald's, do you want anything?
Me: yeah I'm coming give me one second.
He nodded walking back out.
Tyree: who was that?
Me: Romeo's friend. I'll call you later alright?
Tyree: alright.
*
Corey: did you get everyone's order down?
I nodded giving him my phone since they were all on there. After we went through the drive thru and made the order we had to park up since there was so many things that we ordered.
Corey: who's Ty?
Me: what?
I snatched my phone from him since he was going through my call history.
Me: do you not understand privacy?
Corey: I just wanna know?
Me: don't worry.
Corey: I'm not. I'm just asking cause you called him last night telling him you loved him a number of times.
Me: did I?
I bit my lip as he bursted out laughing.
Corey: that must be true love if you don't even remember doing it.
Me: yeah that's crazy.
Corey: so are you going to tell me who it is? or do I need to go and ask Romeo?
Me: how about, you respect my privacy and I'll tell you in my own time.
Corey: alright kool. I'll respect that.
