"Mariah, why the hell did I listen to you?" I ask applying more lip gloss and finger combing my curls before looking over at her.

"Listen woman, you're cooped up in that damn radio station all day! It is time for you to have some fun! We been here a year and a half and every time I go out it is not the least bit as fun if you had come! So you owe me this! Party planning is my life! I absolutely love it! And for the first time since we moved to NY. I want you to party with me once! Then you can go back to the music and the radio shit. Iight?" Mariah smiled hard.

"Oh God. It's going to be a long ass night. But fine...come the hell on" I laughed putting the mirror up getting out the car.

"Ms. Reeves, so nice to see you this evening" Some guy that took her keys said smiling at the both of us.

"Good to see you too Carter. Take care of my baby for me. Iight?" She slid him a twenty and kissed his cheek.

"Of course!" He smiled and pulled off taking her car to valet it guess.

"Come on" She pulled me towards the club entrance. I exhaled deeply and followed her as we surpassed all these people to get to the front.

"Ah, just one with you tonight huh?" This big ass dude asked Mariah.

"Yeah, she's my bff. Lo this is my favorite bouncer in the world Ty." She introduced us.

He smiled and bowed down to me. I smiled and waved.

"She's gorgeous! But y'all enjoy y'all night. Text me if you need me" He winked at her letting us in.

"The fuck! Them hoes just cut!" some chick with a Brooklyn accent spat to Ty.

"Yeah? Damn! Wow didn't even notice. Now back the hell up!" I heard him yell before the door close.

I chuckled and shook my head turning towards the hallway leading into the club.

This place was SLAPPING. I use to party all the time back in college, but this here was some lit shit.

"OH MY GOD" I heard Mariah yell.

"MARIAH!" I heard a deep tone yell before laughter. I turned my head and froze.

Odell Beckham Jr. in the flesh.

Odell

I haven't seen Mariah since LSU! That was damn near two years ago! She looks good! I know when Dwayne finds his way to me, he's going to be happy to see his old boo again.

"Are you even listening to me nigga" Mariah slapping my arm. I smiled and looked back at her but someone caught my attention. I gently put Mariah to the side and stepped closer to Loren. My god she still looks beautiful as ever.

"Loren Reign Sanchez" I smiled admiring her.

"Odell Cornelious Beckham Jr." She smiled some.

Before I knew it, I pulled her into a hug. I didn't want to let her go. Every memory she and I had come back to me and I couldn't help but smile.

"Uh Delly? The fuck is this?" Paige spat from behind me.

Lo and I let go and she bit her lip. She does that when she's nervous.

Mariah laughed some and put her hand on her hip watching Paige stare Lo and I down.

"Uh, baby these are two very good friends I had back at LSU" I explained. Lo's facial expression change. Maybe I should not have referred to her as an old friend. It is quite clear she and I had more than just a friendship.

Paige still didn't seem too pleased but she rolled her eyes and nodded her head.

"Hm...I'm Paige, his GIRLFRIEND" She said smirking.

Loren smiled and waved.

"I'm Loren and this is Mariah" She continued to smile. I know Loren, and I hope Paige chooses her next words wisely before this night ends a different way.

"We were just leaving though...Odell what's your number? We got to have lunch or something tomorrow! Lo got this nice ass crib! We can have a little pool party!" Mariah suggested pulling her phone out.

"Is that my baby mama?" I hear Dwayne half shout. Loren laughed and shook her head hugged him.

Dwayne swears up and down he was still gone have Loren's babies before me. That will never happen buddy.

"Actually, Dwayne. Get their numbers. Call him instead" I sighed watching Paige grim me.

Mariah looked at Paige and rolled her eyes walking up to Dwayne.

She leaned into him and whispered something in his ear causing him to smile widely and give me this look. The look of 'oh I'm definitely smashing' look. I laughed and looked over at Loren. She looked away once I turned towards her. I wish Paige wasn't hovering over me so that I could explain shit to Lo. But I'll get my chance.

"Alright... y'all enjoy y'all night!" I smiled watching them both walk up to V.I.P. My eyes couldn't help but to follow Loren's ass. Shit got fat as hell. Gah damn.

The back of my neck was slapped and I snapped my head towards D. "Nigga the fuck?" I roared.

"Paige is a mad ass bitch right now. She saw you following Lo ass with your eyes. She just stormed off" He chuckled throwing two shots back to back. I shrugged my shoulders and took a shot of Patron before sitting down at the section by the bar we had.

"I don't care. Did you get Lo and Riah number?" I ask.

"Yeah" He said in a sarcastic tone.

"Give me Lo number" I smirked.

"My nigga!" He chuckled pulling his phone back out.

I got to see Loren again. I just have to.

Boy are yall in for a drama filled story line.

This is my new baby. I hope y'all like!
