Me , Brandy , Tony , and Alicia were sitting in the car in front of the Houseparty.
" Y'all I don't know about this ." I said rubbing my arm.
" Come on Mich , it'll be fun. Plus , I heard it's some fine niggas here tonight." said Tony elbowing me.
I let out a sigh and rubbed my forehead.
I kept trying to tell myself that Da'Mauri and his new girlfriend meant nothing to me.
Deep down inside , it meant everything.
I all of a sudden now missed him.
So maybe , tonight is just wtf I needed to get his ass off my mind.
" Alright." I said taking a deep breath.
We all walked inside.
The party seemed to be ... a party.
It just was never my cup of tea.
Tony looked over at me and could see I was a little upset.
" Ik you didn't want to be here , but just try to make the best of it." Said Tony already having a drink in her hand.
" We just got here , you sure you want to start drinking already ?" I asked her.
" Yea , don't worry about me." She said taking a sip of her Hennessy.
" Tony please , we started worrying about you a long time ago." Said Brandy raising her eyebrows.
We all laughed.
One in A Million by Aaliyah started playing.
" Ouu y'all ready know this my shit !" Yelled out Alicia.
" Girl , this is R&B , not gangsta rap -" before Brandy could even finish , Alicia dragged her ass into the crowd of people.
Tony took another sip of her drink.
" Tragic." She said.
I could see Tracy nearby talking to a group of boys.
" Hold on girl , you mind staying here by yourself ? I got a nigga to cuss out." She said getting tense.
" Go ahead , I'll be fine." I said fiddling with my hands.
Knowing damn well I was lying.
" Tracy , Tracy ! Getcho ass over here boy !" Tony yelled as she stomped over to where he was standing.
I didn't know what else to do , so I just went over to get a drink for myself.
I picked up a cup of Patron.
I slipped into my pocket to grab some gum , when my cigarettes fell out.
I was about to bend over and get it.
I was about to grab a hold of it , until ...
" Don't worry bout it Shawty , I got it." Said a man picking it up.
We were both starting to stand up.
" Thanks , you didn't have to-" but I stopped dead in my tracks before finishing the sentence.
I was a little shocked.
He was a little taken back too.
He was one of the finest men I've ever seen in my whole 18 years of life.
He was tall , darkskin, and fine fine fine !
And did I mention sexy asf.
I probably looked like an idiot about to drool and fall over him.
I stared at his big shiny muscles covered in tattoos.
I couldn't help but to just bite my lip from all the tension.
" Uh , h-here's yo shit back." He said handing me the cigarettes.
I nodded and grabbed the cigarettes while still staring dead into his soul.
" Thanks , ig." I said clearing my mind and putting them in my jacket pocket.
" It's Michelle right ?" He asked me with a confused look.
" I prefer Mich , but yea. " I said taking a sip of my drink.
He raised his Eyebrows.
" Yours ?" I asked him.
" It's Akon." He said slowly nodding his head.
I nodded back.
It got silent.
" Uh , nice outfit." I told him trying to break the awkwardness." I said slightly
Smiling.
" Nice lips." He said licking his lips and getting a little closer to me.
I started getting butterflies all around in my stomach.
I just tried to walked away from the conversation.
I was not , ready for that at all.
I felt a hand grab onto my wrist.
I turned around , and there he was again.
Those icky butterflies in my stomach.
" Why are you walking away ? I picked it up for a reason. To obviously get yo attention." He said looking down at me.
" I know I just needed to find my Homegirl." I said rubbing the back of my neck.
I felt someone come up behind me.
I turned around and saw Tony.
" Girl , when I tell you tracking down a nigga is hard !" She said.
Then she saw Akon standing there.
" Oh ... who's your friend." Said Tony sipping her drink.
" He's not my friend , we just met like 3 minutes ago." I said putting my hands in my jacket pockets.
" I will be very soon tho." He said looking at me.
I felt like he was examining me.
I do it all the time to people.
He was trying to figure me out , I could just tell.
" Well Michelle , we don't have time. We've got
people to kick it with." Said Tony grabbing my hand.
" Bye pretty girl." Said Akon looking me up and down.
Pretty girl.
Hm , I like that name.
Tony pushed me along as I looked back at Akon.
Once we got out the door , and into the car, everyone wanted the details.
" Girl , we see you and Akon getting it on !" Said Brandy elbowing me.
" It's not that serious , me and Akon just met tonight." I said shrugging.
" Well I heard Akon's a freshman at Santa Monica College , and he's playing basketball there Ig." Said Alicia raising her eyebrows.
" Exactly where you'll be going next year." Said Tony poking me in the head.
I grabbed Tony's hand and lowered it.
" Guys , I don't want Akon. He's fine and all , but I'm just not ready for another relationship." I said shrugging.
" Mhm , we'll see about that." Said Brandy rolling her eyes.

" Da'Mauri , where's my damn money. You're supposed to be buying me that new Armani jumpsuit !" Said Kaliyah with her hands on her hips.
Kaliyah's my supposed new girlfriend.
But tbh , I feel like a damn ATM Machine rather than her boyfriend.
" Damn woman ! How many times I gotta tell you , this money is not for you !" I yelled in her face.
" I don't give a fuck ! What's yours is mine ! " She yelled tryna take the bands out of my hands.
Michelle wouldn't treat me like this.
She would probably be with me even if I didn't have money.
This bitch right here on the other hand , only sees my check , and not me.
" Ykw Kaliyah , gtf out ..." I said pointing to the door.
It got silent.
She stood there with her arms crossed as a way of telling me she wasn't going a damn place.
" I said getcho gold digging ass out of my house !" I yelled at her.
She rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse.
" Man , you ain't shit !" She yelled out , and slammed the door behind her.
Now I can count my money in peace , without some long nailed slut telling me what to do !
Being with Kaliyah made me realize how good I had it with Michelle.
I'm pretty sure it's a good percentage of women out there who want you for the check.
Michelle know what's up with me and what I got going on.
Kaliyah only thinks about herself.
Michelle is there for me when I'm going through stuff.
As soon as I'm going through something , Kaliyah is already out the door.
She doesn't wanna hear it.
If doesn't have something to do with money , then she's out the picture.
Kaliyah isn't even half as on Mich's level.
And I doubt any-day she would get to that point.
I'm always missing Michelle every time we separate ourselves from one another.
But this time , it was something different.
I just hope I'm not too late .
