The Ex Factor

Chapter 14

With Chubbs and Tiana at each other throats, they decided it would be best to go their separate ways for the rest of the night. Aubrey and the rest of the guys took 40 to a strip club where they partook in ample private dances. Meanwhile, Raven, Tiana, and Courtne were at Marquee partying it up. In the process of trying to cheer Tiana up, Courtne and Raven had gone beyond their limits in the alcohol department, but at least Tiana wasn't sulking anymore. The three of them were cutting up in the VIP obnoxiously singing along to the music as they dance with each other.

"Alright, here you go ladies." The cocktail server came over with yet another bottle of Moet and three shots of patron. The server sat the drinks down, and just as she was about to turn and walk away, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Raven with a nervous smile on her face. "I'm sorry, but would you mind if I take a picture with you?" she asked.

Raven smiled, ushering the woman closer to her. "No, not at all." She wrapped her arm around the woman and she pulled out her phone and handed it to Courtne who snapped the picture. Once they were back to their private party, they all grabbed a shot and in turn, Raven held hers up. "Okay, let's toast to living with no regrets and being in control of our own happiness." Raven's eyes zeroed in on Tiana at that last part. She smiled as they clinked glasses and downed the shots.

Not a moment later, For Free cut in on the song they were dancing to. "Give it up for Drake who just stepped in the building!" The DJ cheered through the speakers and the club went wild.

Raven looked out from the VIP and saw Aubrey and his entourage making their way towards the section they were in. She then looked back at Tiana seeing her roll her eyes. "Great, exactly what I need." She then sat down with a scowl fixed on her face.

Aubrey and the guys had just left the strip club and were looking for somewhere to go. When he checked Raven's Instagram and saw the photo's that she was posting, he knew exactly what club they were in, so he figured he'd pop up on them. Chubbs spotted Tiana sitting next to Courtne. He went over to her trying to make peace, but she got up as soon as he sat down.

Meanwhile, Aubrey made his way over to Raven, who was standing there with a grin on her face. "Are you stalking us?" she asked as he approached her.

"Maybe." He responded slyly as he took the glass of champagne she was holding and put it to his lips.

Raven eyed him closely in his black jeans and short sleeve gray shirt that clung to the muscles in his arms perfectly, letting all types of thoughts run wild in her mind. "I must say, you are looking very attractive tonight Mr. Graham." She spoke as she wrapped her arms around his neck, not caring at all about the flashing cameras.

"You better stop playing with me before I drag you out of this club." He whispered huskily in her ear letting his hands tease dangerously low on her hips.

Raven looked up at him, his eyes were low and a drunken smirk was on his face. "How much did you have to drink?" She questioned knowing that look on him all too well.

"Just as much as you..." Aubrey replied. He knew that whenever she's openly touchy with him, it had something to do with the amount of drinks she's consumed.

The night went on and around 3:00 A.M they decided to call it quits. Everyone split up into two SUV's to head back to the hotel. Spoons drove the first vehicle with 40 riding shotgun, Raven and Aubrey in the seats behind them, and lastly, Tiana and Chubbs in the back row. The night seemed to be winding down, but the tension was evident between Chubbs and Tiana by the silent treatment she was giving him. Aubrey and Raven couldn't be more oblivious to it. They sat in their own little world with her legs tossed across his lap as she rested her head on his chest. She listened as he rapped along to a song playing on the radio and was messing up on his verse.
