Gangstress

December 1999 (2)/ January 2000 (1)

***Marshall's POV***

Me, D12, Kim, and Zoe were all flying to New York currently for the New Years party tonight at Studio 54 and I was nervous as fuck. I had no idea if Angel was gonna be there or not, since I hadn't had a chance to talk to Zoe or Denaun about it with Kim always around. I imagined she would be if Zoe was going, but she also might not go if she knows i'm going. 

I was also nervous about Kim if Angel was gonna be there. I had no idea how the fuck that would play out if they saw each other, and I just really didn't wanna deal with any of that bullshit tonight. Since we had been doing fairly well, I knew this could fuck it all up if she saw Angel there. 

Once the plane finally landed, they took us all to the hotel, and Denaun and Zoe went back to Zoe's place. We all got ready and I put on a white long sleeve shirt with black jeans, and a white hat backwards. Kim put on a black tank top and black jeans, and while it was simple, she looked pretty fuckin' hot. 

Once we were all ready two drivers came at around eight pm and picked up me, Kim, and Proof, while the other one got Biz, and Swifty, and Kuniva. We walked in and the place was packed already. I immediately spotted Denaun and Zoe and Kim went to go get us drinks from the bar. 

We all sauntered over to them and I dapped up Denaun. I turned to Zoe and jutted my chin out to her. "Do ya know if Angel's comin' tonight?" 

"Uh, yeah she is. She's comin' with a bunch of people from Bad Boy." 

I raised my eyebrows. "Oh shit, really? When?" 

"I'm not sure. She said probably around ten." 

I nodded. "Aight." 

"Ya better stay the fuck away from her, bro. Kim will burn this place to the ground if she sees ya talkin' to her." Porter said seriously but I laughed anyway. 

"I know, dawg. That's why I'm askin'." 

He looked at me like I was lying. "Aight bro. Whateva ya say." 

We all went and found somewhere to sit and Kim came back with our drinks. I downed it and a waitress came around with another one. About an hour and a half later I was definitely feeling the alcohol so I decided now would be a good time to drop some X. Kim pulled a little baggie of coke outta her pocket and asked if I wanted any, but I declined. I wasn't lookin' for the coke high tonight, I just wanted the x. 

We were all laughing, talking and smoking when all of a sudden I saw Angel walk by. She had on a black asymmetrical top with scalloped edges showing her stomach, and black baggy leather pants. Fuck. She looked so good. Better than Kim did that's for sure. She didn't even notice us, she just kept walking with the Bad Boy crew. Zoe instantly popped up and ran behind her. She gave her a big hug from behind and Angel turned around to see who the hell was hugging her I'm sure. 

Angel started giggling. "Oh my god, there ya are!" She hugged her back. "We're goin' to sit over here, come!" She started trying to guide her by taking her hand but Zoe dug her heels in. 

"I wanna stay with Denaun." She pointed towards us and Angel poked her head around Zoe to look. She made direct eye contact with me and thankfully Kim was too fucked up to notice what was going on. 

She tore her eyes away from me and looked back at Zoe. She nodded. "Aight. I'll come find ya in a bit then." They hugged again and then Zoe returned to our table. I kept watching Angel walk away until she was lost in a sea of people. 

About an hour later I was getting so fuckin' hot from being in that club so I needed to get some fresh air. I told Kim i'd be back and gave her cheek a quick kiss. I sauntered out the backdoor that lead to a private smoke pit.
