SIXTEEN

TATIYANA

"Babe you look fine as hell." Desmond compliments me as he licked his lips and looked me up and down.

I blushed hard. "Thank you baby." He came and pecked my lips.

It was finally my nineteenth birthday and I was excited. I wanted to have a nasty nineteen, but Desmond's ass shut that down in a quickness. So I just decided on this new lounge that opened up downtown a few weeks ago to have my birthday celebration.

"No problem bae." He kisses me again and holds onto my waist. "I'ma go check on shit out there and let you know when you can bring yo pretty ass out."

I continued to blush. "Okay Des, go." I slightly pushed him off me.

He left out the room I was in and Dianna came walking in. "Hey birthday girl, you ready?" She asks.

I smiled and nodded my head. "Yes." I reply.

"You sure will light up the room with all those rhimestones." Says making me laugh. "You look good though girl."

"Thanks D."

We left out the room and made out way towards the front where I heard music and then it stopped as Desmond's voice filled the speakers.

Oh lord, he bout to be hella extra, I thought as started to give a little speech about me.

I walked into the crowd and everyone yelled "Happy Birthday" to me and I lowkey felt like a celebrity. It was filled with family and friends and I was about to get emotional.

After my few moments of my grand entry, Desmond came by my side and wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed the side of my face. "Happy Birthday baby." He tells me in my ear as we made our to my section of the building.

I couldnt keep the smile off my face. It felt good to feel loved and the center of attention; something that I dont think I've ever genuinely experienced.

I made sure to party the hardest tonight since we were celebrating my birthday. I was happy that Aleena showed up and her and Weston kept their distance from each otheroat of the night. I did not want any kinds of drama at my damn party so I was grateful for that. I know me and Aleena need to have a talk with each other but I'm cool of that doesn't happen tonight.

We can all just enjoy the night and party away.

Everything was going smoothly until everyone joined me in my section and it got hella awkward.

"Happy Birthday bitchhhhh!" Imani yelled as her and Jonah walked over.

"Thank you." I smiled and she hugged me.

I looked over at Leena as she stayed close to Kaleb and just sipped her drink and swayed to the music that was playing.

I went over to her. "Girl you okay?" I asked her once I sat down next to her.

"Yeah girl, I'm just vibing probably gonna get ready to go in a little bit." She responds and I frowned.

"You only been here for like an hourrrrr." I whined some. I know it was probably too much awkwardness going on for her to handle but I still didnt want her to leave. "Lets go dance." I say and grabbed her by her wrist and pulled her off the couch before she could decline.

She was my bestfriend and I was not about to let her not enjoy herself. Plus Tory Lanez was blarring through the speakers and she loved him, so why not go dance.

Me and her danced with one another, and she started to loosen up some and thats all I wanted her to do.

"I'm so glad you came Leena!" I yell to her over the music.
