Enjoyyyyy🤪🤪
Tugging at her shorts a bit, Normani found herself entering inside the huge club in the middle of the city. She was surprised that it was this packed and lit for a Monday night.
Ari just led the way along with a couple of security guards as they entered the club, being met with a huge crowd of people. The song Solo by Future was blasting as the girls held each others hands while they walked through. Everyone was chanting Ari's name the minute they spotted her. Normani thought it was such an interesting thing to see.
Both Ari and India definitely made lots of money through social media, and they were damn near good at it. They both had a huge following on instagram and twitter, to the point where they would literally just get paid to do a club hosting. Ari had plans to start up her own business though, while India was in the process of making her own lipgloss line. All in all, the girls were just proud of each other for becoming so successful like they dreamed they would be.
Normani had a simple crop top on with dark washed denim shorts and heels. Her hair was long and wavy down to her ass. She had a pink chanel bag hanging from her shoulders. Her skin was glowing underneath the club lights perfectly. She could see the looks that she was getting from everyone. She hadn't been out like this in a long time, and forgot how nerve-racking yet fun the club could be.
They made it to their private section, where Ari would be spending most of her night. The DJ kept saying that there was going to be a special surprise guest performance later tonight, which everyone at the club was excited for.
The girls just wasted no time popping bottles and taking shots as they danced around while Ari did her thing. They invited a couple girls into their section which made it even more lit. Just a few shots in and Normani was already on her feet shaking her ass like nobody's business. Ari just loved whenever Normani came out of her shell.
She smiled wide as she just whipped out her phone to record Mani as she shook her ass. All the girls began to just hype her up.
"That's what the fuck I'm talking about bitch!!!"
Ari yelled while amping her up. Ice Spice came on and the girls just lost it. They all started rapping and pointing their fingers like it was nobody's business. Normani could just truly feel herself having fun for the first time in a while. It was like all the drama she had been dealing with the past couple of days was set in the back of her mind now.
It wasn't until she could feel a pair of hands lightly grabbing onto her arm which caught her off guard. Normani just paused, turning around to see who was touching on her.
To her surprise, her eyes landed right on Key as she just looked up at him. He gave her a small grin, flashing the gold grill he had in his mouth. Both Ari and India glanced at each other before eyeing the two. Key just pulled Normani close to him before leaning down towards her ear.
"Let me holla at chu real quick?"
He said before pulling away. He just looked down at her, noticing the slight frown she had screwed up on her face. She just hesitated a bit, trying to decide if she even wanted to go with him or not.
"Come on... please."
He insisted while licking his lips. She just rolled her eyes inwardly, nodding her head at Ari and India before following Key right out of the section. He just held onto her hand gently as he led her all the way over to his own private section.
There were a bunch of strippers dancing around with money flying everywhere in his spot. She just followed him as he lead her to a couch. She took a seat, not really sure why she was even here in the first place. Key sat right next to her before grinning. She could tell that he seemed to be a little bit high off something as his eyes were red and extremely low.
He just leaned real close to her, placing his hand onto her leg while squeezing it lightly.
"I missed you girl."
He mumbled while staring into her face. Normani just shook her head while gently pushing him back.
"Unt unt, you had me blocked last time I checked."
She pointed. She just watched him as he nodded his head slowly while staring off into the distance.
"Yeahhh... I know. That shit had me fucked up not gon lie.."
He muttered.
"Really Key?"
She said while raising her eyebrows a bit. She truly wasn't believing anything that he was saying right now.
"I mean, did I do something to you?"
She questioned. He just glanced over at her again, trying to decide if he even wanted to tell her the truth on why he really had her blocked.
"Shiit.. maybe."
He mumbled. Normani was definitely confused now.
"What could I have possibly done to you Key? Enlighten me for real."
She snapped lightly while rolling her eyes. At this point, she felt like he was just playing in her face.
"It's Von..."
He blurted out. Normani just made a face. Von was the last person she ever expected to come out of his mouth right now. Like, what did Von even have to do with any of this??? Before she could fix her lips to say anything, the club lights began to flash like crazy as the DJ stopped the music.
"Alright everybody! Like I said earlier we have a special guest performance tonight!"
He yelled through the mic. Everyone started to go crazy as the DJ began to switch up the music a bit.
"I want everyone to put your hands together for the greatest rapper out of Chicago right now, King Von!!!!!"
He yelled as the crowd went wild. The song Crazy Story started to play just as Normani could feel her heart drop yet again. Both Key and Mani watched as Von hopped on the stage along with his crew not too far behind him. He had a mic in his hand as he just grinned at the crowd. The diamonds in his grills could be seen from far and wide as they shined perfectly under the club lights.
He just stood on the stage, taking in the energy from all of his fans while smirking his lips. Everyone seemed to be going insane as he started rapping to his song. The whole entire club went crazy as they all recited the lyrics along with him. Von seemed to be really enjoying it. He was truly in his zone as he performed.
Key just snickered a little while rolling his eyes. He glanced over at Normani who seemed to have her complete focus right on Von as he performed. He could tell that there had to be something there between Mani and Von, just by the way he caught her looking at him. Key just had a look of disgust as he shook his head.
"So why you ain't tell me you was Von's girl? Huh?"
He suddenly said while catching her attention. He began squeezing on her leg with his hand, causing Normani to gasp a bit.
"Excuse me?"
She questioned. She just removed his hand off of her before quickly standing up. Key just let out a sinister laugh. Mani wasn't sure if he was extremely high off something or just way too drunk.
"I talked to Von. He called and told me to stay away from yo ass. Nigga threatened to shoot and kill me if he ever saw me witchu again. What the fuck is that about Mani?"
Key pointed angrily. He just stood up, moving close while towering over her. He truly looked crazy in the face as he just glared down at her with a mug. Normani just looked up at him without having any explanation at all.
"You tryna set me up or sum bitch?"
He spat.
"Bitch?!"
She repeated.
"First of all, me and Von aren't even together. But I don't have to explain shit to you since you wanna be disrespectful!"
Mani shot back.
"Maneeee I can't believe I been tryna get at yo hoe ass this entire time. Takin you out on dates, buying you flowers n shit. Actin fake nice n respectful wit yo ass!"
He went on.
"I coulda been cracked yo shit and dipped if I knew you was holdin out on me over Von and his goofy ass."
Key pointed towards Von's direction. Normani could feel the anger building up inside of her as she just glared at Key. She truly couldn't believe how he was acting right now. He was really calling her out her name, showing his true colors. She also couldn't believe that Von would even have the nerve to threaten Key in the first place.
This was just one big huge mess!
"You know what, I'm not doing this with you."
She began before turning on her heel. At this point, Normani was beyond over it. She couldn't stand this at all. She refused to be standing in the middle of the club, arguing with Key about Von while Von was performing on stage. This was just pure madness! And the fact that Von would even do something like this really just pissed her off. She felt like he had no right to go around threatening people about her.
She just attempted to storm off, only for Key to grab her by the arm again roughly. He aggressively pulled her back forcing her to be face to face with him. He just used his hand, grabbing her face before pulling her close.
"Where the fuck you think you goin huh?"
He mugged.
"You think Ima just let you walk away from me that easy?"
He sneered.
"Yo ass is coming home wit me tonight. Should teach yo ass a lesson for playin wit me bitch-"
"Just let go of me Key!"
She yelled while attempting to pull her arm away from his grip. She was able to slip out of his hold before backing away from him. Not even a second later, the sound of gun shots began to blare. Normani just couldn't believe her eyes as Key instantly got shot right in the chest in front of her. Not a sound came out of her mouth as she just watched him with her own eyes collapse to the ground instantly. She quickly put her hands up to cover her mouth in shock.
Her stomach began to turn in knots at the sight of him. Everyone in the club began screaming in terror now just as the music got cut off. The lights came on in the club as people started running every which way. Mani just stood there, frozen in place as she watched Key quickly die right in front of her. He had blood staining up his shirt as his lifeless body laid flat on the ground.
The sudden feeling of a hand grabbing onto her arm caught her attention. Normani just looked up, her eyes meeting with Von's as he gave her a stern look.
"Come on Mani, we gotta go."
He spoke softly. He could see the terror in her eyes as she just stared up at him in disbelief. He glanced over at Key, who was just lying dead on the ground. His eyes met right back with Mani again, not even waiting for her to react to him as he just pulled her away from the scene.
Normani could just feel her legs moving as Von held onto her tightly, making sure she got out of the club safely. Everyone began pouring out into the street, causing so much commotion. Normani was just in a state of panic. She could feel her body turning numb as Von just led her right to his car. It was a matte black maserati granturismo. He opened the door for her, before glancing down at her with concern.
"Are you hurt?"
He questioned while examining her. He eye'd her body, making sure he didn't see any gun shot wounds on her. She just had little splatters of blood on her shirt, which was probably from when Key got shot.
"N-No.."
She stammered out.
He just nodded with relief.
"Aiight, get in."
He instructed.
"But what about Ari and In-"
"Don't worry about em. I had my security make sure they got out safely. I promise you they good."
He insisted while staring into her eyes. He could see the tears forming as she just stared right back at him. She just nodded her head slowly before hopping into his car. The sounds of police sirens began ringing in the distance as everyone continued to run.
Von made sure that Normani got in safely before shutting the door. She just sat in silence as he made his way over to the drivers side. Her eyes were focused on everybody screaming and looking confused as they just stood right outside the club building. Von just revved his engine up smoothly before taking off down the road.
Normani truly couldn't get the image of Key's dead body out of her head. She couldn't help but think about how that easily could've been her had the person who shot him in that direction did it any second earlier. But out of all people... why did Key have to get shot?
Nothing seemed to make sense at all. She just kept replaying the events in her head over and over again. Von just gripped the steering wheel with one hand before glancing over at her. He could tell that she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.
"You good lil folks?"
He spoke softly while raising his eyebrows a bit. She quickly snapped out of her gaze before turning to look at him. She really wasn't sure what was going on. And to top it off, she wasn't even sure how she ended the night right in Von's car.
"Uh... yeah..."
She muttered while frowning. Normani had so many questions, but she just didn't even know where to start.
"Ima take you home ok?"
He spoke softly as she nodded.
"Do you need the address?"
She questioned. He just shook his head no while focusing back onto the road. She wanted to ask him how he even knew where she lived in the first place... but let's be real here... this is Von we are talking about.
She just eye'd him a bit, taking in his appearance. He seemed calm, despite all the chaos that went down tonight. He licked his lips slowly, his eyes staring straight a head as he drove. She was starting to get a sense of deja vu. She couldn't help but wonder why every time something crazy went down, Von was always right there to get her out of the situation.
Sighing to herself a bit, Normani just looked away from him before staring out the window quietly.
It didn't take long before Von was parked right outside Normani's apartment. He killed the engine to the car before glancing over at her. She was just fiddling with the straps of her Chanel bag nervously.
He opened the car door before hopping out. Strolling his way over to her side, he opened up the door before sticking his hand out to her. She eye'd it a bit, hesitating just a little before taking his hand softly. He gently helped her out of the car.
There, he just stood tall right in front of her. Normani could feel her nerves shooting through the roof as she could just smell his sweet cologne through her nose. They just made eye contact as she looked up at him. A small frown screwing up her facial expression just a little.
"You threatened Key to stay away from me.. didn't you."
She blurted out while pointing. Her eyes just stayed focused on Von's as he boldly never broke eye contact with her. She could see the darkness swirling in his orbs as he slowly nodded his head.
"Yeah, I did."
He spoke in a low tone.
"Why?"
She questioned. He just paused for a bit, looking down at the necklace that she had on. It wasn't the same necklace that he had given her 3 years ago with his initials on it. It was just a simple heart necklace that sat perfectly around her neck. The heart was upside down for some reason. He just reached up, adjusting the position of the heart with his fingers, attempting to fix it. The feeling of his fingers brushing up against the skin on her neck sent chills down her spine as she just eye'd his lips.
"Because... I just hated seeing him wit you."
He softly replied. The tone in his voice was dark as Normani's eyes just met back up with his again. This time, Von began looking at her glossy lips. He just let his tongue graze his bottom lip slowly while leaning a little bit closer to her. She was still so beautiful to him. After 3 whole years Von just still couldn't seem to get over how stunning her facial features were.
His fingers went from fixing her necklace to slowly caressing her skin. He traced the nape of her neck slowly before letting his finger rest against the bottom of her chin. He forced her head up, tilting it slightly so he could get a better view of her face. The only thing on his mind right now was the idea of kissing her. He wanted to so bad. And Mani could see it all over his face.
Normani could remember the very last time her and Von had kissed. Her lips were just itching for the feeling of his again. It almost felt like a crack head looking for their fix. It was that bad.
She could just feel her heart racing as she was mentally fighting herself from saying what she was about to say next. As much as she didn't want to ruin the moment, a part of her just had to know something...
"Did you kill him, Dayvon?"
She whispered.
She eye'd his face, trying her best to read the emotionless facial expression he had on. His lips parted a bit as he just let out a small sigh. Von didn't even bother to answer her question. He knew that Mani was smart. He wanted her to use her brain and figure it out. His silence was all that she needed to hear as she could feel her heart drop.
"How could you!?"
She muttered in shock before pulling away from him. Mani just felt sick to her stomach. She was about to walk off as he swiftly grabbed onto her wrist, pulling her back with a little bit of force. He just glared down at her with a serious look on his face.
"I know I fucked up Mani, and I know you prolly hate my ass right now-"
Normani quickly raised her hand up without thinking before slapping Von right across his face. The tears were burning in her eyes as she just looked up at him, shocked with herself that she even did that. He just turned his head a bit, feeling the sting from her hands burning his skin. His jaw clenched hard just as he looked back at her.
He gripped his hand around her arm, pulling her much closer to him this time as he towered over her. His nose was barely an inch close to hers as he just glared right into her soul.
"All I know is, I better not catch yo ass wit another nigga again."
He warned before letting her go. She could see the crazy in his face, the darkness in his eyes and hear the seriousness in his voice. Von was definitely not playing around.
"Don't start no shit, won't be no shit Mani-"
"I hate you Von."
She stated while cutting him off. She just rolled her eyes before storming off, heading straight for her apartment building.
He stood there quietly, making sure that she got inside safely as she just disappeared through the double doors.
