I don't know where this sudden urge of dominance came from, but I had never seen it before; so I had to push his buttons! "I mean...I could be Dejuane's..." I said smirking as he looked at Dejuane who was talking to Zaire by the pool. "He gave you these?" Bronny question me, still eyeing the hickeys. He looked me in the eyes as he waited for my response. "Maybe." I said bluntly. "Tf are you doing with other niggas Clay?!" He said finally removing his hand from my neck. "Woah! Don't put this on me! You chose the my gazelle over me! Dejuane and Andre was there when you weren't. So don't come here making me the bad guy!" I said looking up at Bronny furiously. His height never phased how I looked at him. "Regardless of that, you shouldn't be fucking my friend." He said trying to get loud. "First of mothafucking all, watch yo mothafuckin pitch when you talking to me. Second, don't come at me asking if I'm fucking yo friends! We didn't fuck, and even if we did; that shit is none of your fucking business!" I said pointing at his chest as I became overwhelm with frustration. Tears threatened to spill out my eyes and Bronny noticed. His face softened as he saw me becoming emotional and he quickly rapped his arms around me. "You made me out to be a hoe." I said trying to still fight the tears. "I- I'm sorry." He said and I could feel him tilt his head up as if he was looking towards the sky. I backed off of his chest and wiped the few tears that did fall. I couldn't make him feel he had power over me. Not now, not ever. "Yea. Whatever." I said and walked back towards the pool. I smiled as I approached Zaire and Dejuane. "Where's everybody else?" I said walking to the table they were setting the food up on. "On the way. Hey, can you go grab the drinks off the table?" Zaire said placing down some burgers. I nodded my head and walked inside. There were some 12 packs of sodas and I managed to grab 2 as the boys came in and grabbed the rest. We starting putting them into the ice filled cooler and grabbed floats to blow up for the pool. Soon, we were done and party guests started arriving. When I walked upstairs to check on Canon, I saw he was playing with Kaavia so I went back to the bathroom to take off my clothes and reveal my bathing suite.

As I walked down the stairs, I received a few looks. Some positive, others negative. So I placed my clothes over my stomach to try to hide anything that they didn't see as flattering. I made my way to the back when I spotted Bronny and the gazelle cuddled in a corner. She glanced but looked away, but he watched my every move. I was pulled to the right and into a small bathroom by someone and I quickly turned around to see Dejuane. "You scared the shit outta me!" I said and punched him in the chest. "Why are you covering your body?" He said seriously as he glanced down at my clothes. He slowly removed my hands from my stomach and turned me towards the mirror as he held my waist from behind. "What do you see?" He said standing over me. "Ugly." I said as I began to tear up. He turned me around to face him. "You know what I see? I see a beautiful, strong, independent, empowering, young woman. I see someone who is absolutely perfect. And I mean inside and out. Someone who has absolutely no flaws. No matter the little bit of fat you do have. You are beautiful, Clay. Don't cover up your body." He said as he wiped my tears. I simply just rapped my arms around his torso and hugged him. "Thank you Dejuane." I said as he hugged me back, placing his chin on my head. "Of course. Now let's go back to the party." He said smiling, causing me to smile. We walked out and went to the back. I placed my clothes in a bag that Aaron brought and went to sit by him. "Wassup my good sis." He said while he sat near the edge of the pool with his feet in the water. I put my feet in the water and took a deep breath in. "IthinkimfallingforDejuane." I said quickly. "Bitch slow tf down and say that shit again." He said looking at me. "I-I'm think I'm falling for Dejuane." Aaron's eyes got big at my sentence. "Okay- well what's going on between you and Bronny?" He said adjusting his body to face mine as I did the same. "I don't know. Earlier, he was basically telling me im still his. But now, he's in the corner with Gizelle. I don't know what we are." I said looking at the cement. Aaron took a minute before he spoke. "Well before anything happens between you and Dejuan, I think you need to figure out what's happening with Bronny. Don't bring him in this if you and Bronny have unfinished business. He doesn't need to be hurt." Aaron said and shrugged his shoulders. "Speaking of..." He said and looked behind me. I turned around and there was Bronny. "Can I talk to you?" He said and I glanced at Aaron. He motioned for me to go so I grabbed Bronnys hand and he helped me up. I wiped off my butt and followed him in the house and to Zaires room. He shut the door behind us and I sat on the bed since I wasn't wet. "I ended all ties with Gizelle." He said and looked me in my eyes. My mouth slightly dropped but I just looked at him. "Why?" I questioned as he sat down beside me on the bed. "Because of her, I lost you. And I want to forever have you in my life. She was toxic." He said bluntly and played with his fingers. He stood up and got ready to leave but I grabbed his arm, turned him around, and hugged him. After a minute, he hugged me back. "What's that for?" He questioned me as we pulled away. "Cause I've put you through hell but you came to the conclusion to choose me. Even if it did take this long." I said and looked him in the eyes. His eyes went from mine to my lips as we both slowly leaned in. We were inches apart when I gabe in and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him. His hands went under my butt and he picked me up. The slow kissing turned more heated but I pulled away. "Not here. Not in Ziares room. And not that easily." I said laughing. Bronny sat me down and laughed too. "Lemme on your back." I said and put my arms up. He turned around and bent down a little as I jumped on. He grabbed my legs firmly so I couldn't slide off and we walked down towards the pool. "Okay, you can put me down now." I said not realizing what he was doing. I noticed he was going towards the pool and before I knew it, he jumped in. I screamed as we hit the water. When i came up, I hit his back. "Now what if I woulda died?" I said as I made my way to the ladder. "Rest in Peace?" He laughed and questioned me. I gave him the side eye as I got out and adjusted my bathing suite. I walked towards the table where the drinks and food were and I grabbed a soda. A really pretty girl about my height was standing there. "Hi. You must be Clay!" She said and smiled at me. I looked at her confused "Oh, I'm Jaynell." She stated as Zaire walked over. "Oohh! You're Z's girlfriend. Nice to meet you." I said as I brought her into a hug. "You're prettier in person." She said smiling and looking me up and down. "Thank You. You're really pretty too." I smiled and walked away back to Aaron. He was in the pool this time, so I sat my drink on the table by our things and went in the water. "I hope you and Dejuane didn't have anything going on..." He said looking around "Why?" He pointed behind me and I turned around and saw Gazelle leading him towards the pool house with a seductive look. "This bitch just really want everyone that gives me attention doesn't she?" I said watching them walk into the pool house. Dejuane seemed a little...out of it. He was stumbling a little and seemed like he could hardly walk. I got out the water and went to find Andre. I spotted him and Bronny inside where the food was. "Do you know if Dejuane could have smoked or drank anything before he came here?" I questioned Andre. "No. We've been with you all day. Why?" He said standing up, along with Bronny. "Gazelle just took him to the pool house but I think there's something in his system. He could hardly walk and he hates her..." I said trying to figure it out. "SHIT!" Andre said and began running to the pool house as me and Bronny followed. We arrived but we couldn't open the door. "Its locked." I looked at Bronny and he ran to get the key. Me and Andre looked around trying to find a way in until Bronny and Zaire both came back and Zaire opened the door. There, we saw Dejuane on the couch, out of it and Gazelle sitting on his lap. "Dejuane!" I yelled and ran toward the couch. He slowly turned his head in a daze. "What did you do to him?" I asked as I pushed her off and lifted his upper body up. Zaire grabbed her and took her, Bronny called 911, and Andre came over to help. "Dejuane! Look at me! Keep your eyes open!" I said as Andre kept talking his face.
