Because I Said So

Chapter Eleven

I got dressed and call Kandice to see if she was available to go shopping with me. Luckily, she wasn't busy and agreed to meet me at Silver Plaza mall. Deontay was sleeping in the bed and I asked him if I could drive his car. He told me that I could drive his black Mercedes SUV. I quickly grabbed the keys and call my sister to let her know I was on the way.

After 40 minutes of driving, I arrived at the mall. We went to the little nail shop and got a manicure and pedicure. I got all white except on my fourth finger which was painted gold with glitter. Kandice asked me all about how we met and where do I see us going in the future.

"Honestly, I can see us dating and eventually getting married with two kids" I said.

"Wow! I never thought I would hear those words. Ever Vicki!" she said.

"I swear he's changing you for the better" she said. "I can feel it".

After we were done, we went to the food court to eat and went shopping. I got several different outfits and then hit up Victoria secret to get some sexy lingerie for our after party. For him I got a simple all white suit.

For me well, I got silver strapped heels and a gold high slit crisscross open back sequin dress. Its sexy and elegant. Hugs my body tight and show off my sexy curves! Yass Queen.

After a short while, Kandice had to go to the club to make sure that the decorations were absolutely right for the party. Charles was happy that Deontay wanted to have his party there since it was gonna bring a lot of publicity since he is a basketball royal. I got home and notice that Deontay wasn't home, so I took a nap. The party didn't start till 10pm anyways.

Deontay woke me up at 8pm and made us my favorite dinner. Lowcountry boil with crab legs. I tore them shits up too! He made me a mango peach margarita to go with it.

"I got us a limo to ride in since I know the both of us is gonna be drinking" he said.

"You love spending money don't you" I said. "It's for you and as always you are worth every dime."

I smiled and washed my hands and showed him the outfit I picked out for him. We jumped in the shower and got ready for the party.

A short while later the limo arrives to the house at 9:30. I couldn't wait to get to the club to see what he put together.

We got there at exactly 10pm and this nigga got a red carpet laid out leading to the entrance door. I just laughed.

"What's that baby" he said smiling.

"You! What's next we have a gold drinking fountain inside with twenty grand gold vodka coming out of it?" I asked sarcastically.

"Was that too much?" he asked.

My jaw dropped. I know this nigga did not. I leaned over to him and kissed him.

"Baby you didn't have to do that, but I greatly appreciate it."

He just smiled.

We got out the limo and all eyes were on us. A line of people were still waiting to get into the club, but they just took pics of us and wished us happy birthday. The smile on my face wouldn't leave for nothing in the world. I was truly happy for once.

We walked in and the song Pretty Wings was playing, and I saw all of our family and friends. There was white and gold balloons and a banner that said Happy birthday Victoria and Deontay.

A few of my pics blown up and plastered all over the walls and that just made me blush even more. A few tables had gold and white cloths on them, and the atmosphere just felt so positive.

I looked up at him and he said, "Enjoy yourself baby. Its all for you".

It was 3am and we still was dancing and drinking. I mingled with some of his friends and met his brother and sister. They were nice to me and thanked me for making their brother so happy. I disagreed because he was the one that made me so damn happy.

I kept dancing until I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around and Cresha and Rodney was standing behind me. I didn't give them a smile because I didn't know which angle, they was coming from.

Cresha open her mouth first and said, "Happy Birthday Vicki". Then Rodney.

I thanked them and left to go find my sister. I felt a negative presence from them, and I refuse to let them ruin my night. Kandice was on the staircase with Charles talking to a few people in suits. I'm guessing that was Charles investors. I signal for her to meet me on the dance floor.

I said in her ear, "Come dance with me".

We let loose and let the night carried us away. Not thinking about anybody but our damn selves. A twerking song was playing next and I felt a strong pair of hands on my hips and I knew it was Deontay. I grinded on him till my knees gave out. Party, Party, Party!!!

Deontay and I took a few more shots from the fountain and that's when I was feeling a little sick. I ran to the bathroom as fast as I could and threw everything I drank back up.

Luckily, Kandice ran in the bathroom with me holding my hair because I was a mess. When I was finish, I rinse my mouth out with mouthwash I had in my purse and was ready to fuck the night up again.

"Vicki you need to go home. Its 3am." Kandice said.

"Two more hours" I pleaded drunkenly.

"No, lets go find Deontay so he can get yall home" she said.

She held me up with one arm as my drunk ass was trying not to fall. She sat me down at one of the tables and told me not to move. I was trying to sit up, but I was just too fucking tired, so I put my head on the table for a minute and soon enough I was asleep.

It wasn't long until Deontay woke me up and carried me to the limo. I laid down on the seat and he told me he was going to be right back. He wanted to let everybody know we was leaving.

A few minutes had pass and I heard a phone ringing in the limo. I instantly got up and check inside my purse but to my surprise it wasn't mine. The phone kept ringing but eventually stopped.

It was on the floor underneath the seat and I grabbed it. I open the screen and I saw a call from a number that looked way too familiar to me. I saw me and Deontay's picture on the home screen. The number sent him a text and it said:

Wow so this is how you treat me D. You really want to spend the rest of your life with that bitch? Fuck it then, I hope she drains you like she's been doing all those other niggas she was fucking with. Catch a STD bitch!

Who the fuck is this! I thought to myself. I sober up a little and call the number back.

A woman answer the phone and said "What Deontay!".

I couldn't believe this shit. This has to be some kind of mistake. Like this cannot be happening right now!

The woman on the phone said "Well nigga! What do you want!"

I felt myself panicking because I knew this voice and that's the shit that fuck me up. I took the phone from my ear and checked the number again. Fuck! I knew I recognized this number!

"I don't have time for the games Deontay! I'm hanging up!" she said.

My heart dropped to my stomach, but I had to confirm this shit. I just had too.

So, I said "Mother?" She replied "Victoria?"

Then I hunged up the phone. Son of a bitch!
