Blood Brothers

Chapter 11: More Life

"Yes baby." Rayne answered with a smile "I can't believe you're 24 years old today, you're growing up on me!"

Noah laughed, being that the two met in high school they shared the experience of watching each other grow up and being able to grow together. Rayne saw first hand how Noah grew physically and mentally from a teenage boy to a grown ass man and she was so in awe of the man who stood before her.

"Shit is crazy. You done seen it all, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I'm so happy to have you in my life, Rayne. We locked in forever, I don't give a damn what nobody says." Noah grabbed her hand and kissed it

"I'm not gonna kiss your lips cause I know how you go. Don't wanna mess up your makeup even though you don't need that shit." Noah added

Rayne laughed, "I love you so much baby."

"I love you too, come on, let's go get drunk and turn the fuck up. I'm fucking 24 years old today!!" He yelled in excitement

Noah unlocked the doors to the car and stepped out, he smoothed out his gold Armani suit and adjusted the bow tie around his neck before walking around to the passenger side to help Rayne out of the car. He opened the passenger side door and held his hand out for Rayne to take, her gold red bottom heels touched the red carpet first as she stepped out of the car.

"Damn you look good." Noah looked her over

Rayne had taken down her braids a week ago and her hair was styled in an extended side swoop ponytail. The ponytail had loose curls that stopped at her ass and her side swoop fell to the right side of her face. Gold earrings dangled from her ears which matched the one shoulder high slit sequin gold formal dress that hugged her body in all the right places. The slit exposed her toned right leg which drove Noah crazy. Noah and Rayne looked good as hell and they complimented one another.

"Thank you baby." Rayn beamed as the photographer stepped outside and started taking pictures of them

"Happy birthday Noah! Looking sharp, my boy!" Rome the photographer complimented after he finished snapping flicks

Noah dapped him up and smiled, "Appreciate it man, thank you for capturing this event. I know the pictures gone come out dope as hell."

"You already know, no problem at all. You got a good turn out in there man, the party is jumping! DJ Gemini really spinning them records. Just waiting for you to make your grand entrance." Rome snapped another picture

"Shit you don't have to tell me twice." Noah said excitedly before grabbing Raynes hand and walking to the door that the doorman held open for them

Noah heard "Yungen" by Rod Wave ft Jack Harlow begin to play which was the song he chose to make his entrance to. As the beat drop and Rod Wave's and Jack Harlow's voices filled the room, Noah and Rayne entered the well packed event room with all eyes and the spotlight on them.

And they say, "Ooh, there go the youngin', " yeah, yeah

Make way for him, yeah, yeah

They say, "Ooh, there go the youngin', " yeah, yeah

We was waitin' for him, ooh, there go the youngin'

"Y'all make some fucking noise for my fucking brother since the sandbox days!!! Happy muthafucking birthday Noah!!" Jordan yelled into the mic from the DJ booth as he continued to spin the Rod Wave record

Noah smiled and pointed at Jordan for showing him love while Jordan nodded his head to the music and lifted his drink up to acknowledge Noah. Everyone cheered and yelled as Noah and Rayne made their way into the room, he heard multiple "Happy birthdays' ' being shouted at him, people patting his back telling him how good he and Rayne looked, and flashes from pictures being taken and videos being recorded. Noah made sure to keep a firm hold on Rayne's hand as they made it to their section.
