Chapter V- You Did It For Me?

A F R I C A

~ 3 weeks later~
"Rica! Hurry!"
"Bitch I'm coming!" I shouted to Maiah.
I quickly pulled on my white high waisted shorts with my plain black crop top. I slipped on my all black Jays then ran downstairs.
"Let's go" We walked out to her car then drove off to the spa.

~At The Spa~
"Hey Aunty Dawn!" Maiah said as we walked to the receptionist's desk.
"Hey girls. Do enjoy"
We walked to the back and enter the massaging room.
We stripped then got covered. Lisa and Tia walked in to give us a massage.
"When last you heard from Tyler?"
"Yesterday. Since that time we met up at Starbucks, he's been trying hard."
"Oh well, I know he loves you but that shit he pulled that time was fucked up"
I sighed. "I know right. I love him and all but these bitches he got need to chill. If we gon be together, them hoes gotta go"
"Exactly"
"Sup witchu and Omar?"
"His ex is doing the mosttt"
"Who?"
"Some girl name Sondrea. Mixed with chinese. She pretty and all but she got a bad attitude."
"These exes need to relax. Obviously if he left yo ass, he don't want you"

~3 hours later~
We walked into Willow's Hair Salon and Nail Bar.
Two stations were empty so we took a seat.
"Hey. What can I do for you today?"
"I need a hairstyle for prom. Surprise me"
"That's just what I'm gonna do"
She washed my hair and dyed it. When she was finished, she turned me around from the mirror and did her magic.
"I'm finished" she turned me to the mirror and I had blue and black spiral curled hair. It looked cute.
"Thank you so much"
"You're welcome babygirl"
Then my girls Sarah, Gena, Genessa, Tina and Chadé walked in.
"Hey girls"
"Hey Rica" I walked to a nail station and took a seat.
"Hey. What colors?"
"Hmm black and white"
"Sure thing"

~4 hours~
I'm finally home after a long ass day at the hair and Nail bar and the mall. Now I have to prepare for Prom.
I stepped in my shower and took a long ass shower just washing away everything. When I got out I brushed my teeth and washed my face before walking back into my room. I dried off then lotion my skin.
I put on my undergarments then I fixed my hair with the help of Summer.
"Who's the prom date?" I shrugged.
"Don't have one"
"Why the hell not?"
"Cause I just wanna go and enjoy myself, alone"
She kissed her teeth. "Spoil sport" I chuckled.
I walked to my dress then slipped into it. It was black with diamonds all over it. It was strapless and my curves were protruding. I spun around and smiled. I slipped on my black Jimmy Choo heels then grabbed my black mask. I'm the only one wearing mask to the Prom but I prefer to go as a nobody.
I heard a horn honk so I slipped on my silver accessories then sprayed some perfume. I grabbed my clutch then walked downstairs.
"You look beautiful" mom said.
"Thanks" we hugged then I walked out the door.
I got in the car and off we were to the Prom.

~At The Prom~
I was seated at a table with my people. We were talking about random stuff and it was cool. I'll admit, I was feeling left out since everyone else had a Prom date. Even Omar was here. Everyone walked out to the dance floor to dance while I walked to the bar.
"Shot of Ciroc" I ordered.
"Coming right up"
I gulped it down and felt the burning sensation in my throat.
"Why aren't you dancing?" Someone was behind me. I slowly turned around and saw a guy with a mask on.
"That's not my thing" I lied.
He chuckled. "May I have this dance?"
"Sure" I don't know what was weirder. Me dancing with a complete stranger or him staring at me. But the cologne was so familiar.
"Why are you here?" I said.
"To prove a point"
"What is there to prove, Tyler?"
"I'm tired of not talking to you, of not hearing your voice. The way you stare at me when you're thinking, the way you bite your lips when you're trying to figure something out. Just every little thing. I won't stop loving you"
"Words are deceiving"
"You and I both know I don't do high school activities" he was right. I was about to walk away.
He pulled me back and our lips met. I missed this!
"Why did you do that shit?"
"I told you. It was a mistake. Let's get over it"
"I don't know"
"How can we move forward and have a relationship if you keep bringing shit up from the past?"
"Because you hurt me! That was messed up and you know it"
"As I said, I'm sorry! I know you're sick and tired of hearing it but I'm trying and you're just making it hard for me but I'll continue to pursue you cause baby you're all that I want and need"
"You did this for me?"
"I did this for us babygirl"
