23.

"Girl..." She said while pouring two more

"You said you wanted to get lit now you copping out, un uh, here." She said and placed the shot in front of me.

I gave in and took the shot to the head.

"Excuse me beautiful.." I heard someone say, both Lauren and I turned our heads.

He was eyeing me, "I seen you when you walked in but didn't know if you'd have a guy or something trailing in soon afterwards but from the looks of it, I don't think one has came along... would you mind if I buy you a drink?" He asked

I slightly smiled, "Sure." I replied

"What would you like?" He asked

"I'm not sure, I don't really have a favorite." I said

"Well I'm going to order my favorite, see if you like it." He said and ordered a drink.

I waited on the drink and then it was placed in front of me seconds later.

I took a small sip from it and nodded, "Yeah, I do like this."

"And I like you so, where do we go from here?" He smiled

I chuckled, "Nice." I nodded

"Can I get your number maybe? I'm Darrell by the way." He said

"I'm India, and sure." I replied

He placed his phone in my hand and I typed my number in and handed him his phone back.

"You ladies enjoy your night." Darrell said and walked away.

"Ooouuu, girl and he's cute! I hoped you would catch a nigga's eye tonight and look what god did, you caught one." Lauren teased

I smiled and nudged her shoulder.

Not even seconds later someone approached her.

"Hey beautiful, how you doin'?" The guy said to her, it was dim but he looked oh so familiar. I couldn't pin point where I knew him from though.

"Why thank you, and I'm doing fine tonight, and you?" Lauren asked

"I was doing okay but I'm doing great since I seen you." He smiled

"Well that's always good." Lauren replied

"So how do you feel about me getting your number? Maybe getting to know you more."

"I'd like that." She said

He placed his phone in her hand and she entered her number.

"So what you up to tonight?" He asked

"I'm just chillin' at the bar with my best friend right now." Lauren said and pointed to me.

He looked up, "Aw, I know you... hey India!" He said

"Wait.. how do you know me? I'm sorry."
