***March****

***Eva Pov***

"Drizzy Drake! Check me out!

Comin live from the motherfuckin north side! "

I sang as Anika towel dried her hair in the mirror.

"Bitch would you relax on da cussing!" She snapped

"Well im sorry miss saved" I laughed.

"Ever since you went all Adventist on me you got boring" I teased

She turned around in her seat. "Girl dat is not true"

"Oh ya? When last you been to a club?" I sassed her

She twisted her mouth to a side thinking. "Ok fine! Its been a minute" she finally said

I laughed.

"Yeah but then whats your excuse? Yo man aint no church boy and yet when youre free you dont do shit" she rolled her neck

"Pfft, " I shooed her off, " when im free I spend time wit August since we both so busy"

"HA!" She said " I seen August's instagram. In between all yall photos and him in that dark ass studio...that nigga be turning up in the club"

I rolled my eyes. "Well then I guess we both some boring bitches then" I shrugged

"Damn, we really are" Anika shook her head.

"We should go out on Saturday night. Hit da club. We only 20 and acting like 45!" She said

"My friend is comin in from NY on Saturday remember, why not Friday night?"

My girl from back home who went to school in New york city was coming to Atlanta for the weekend to visit her dad's family.

"Bitch! She can come out with us too!" Anika snapped. "Ya know im tryna be bout that Adventist lifestyle now. Friday night is da sabbath"

I raised an eyebrow at her. " okay 'the good wife.' Me and Carlyn will go shopping Saturday then we all will go out Sat night"

"Yeah trick! And in fact, imma take dis up a notch since we been out da game for a minute" anika said

I looked at her confused

"We aint just going to any old club...we hittin up da strip joint!" She twerked.

"Aye! " I shouted, pretending to slap her ass as she danced.

*****Saturday*****

"Carlynnnnnn!!" I shouted as my girl made her way from the taxi

"Evo!" She also screamed, opening her arms wide to hug me.

"Your hair looks so good? You ombred the ends?" She asked as we complimented each other. It took us a good 5 mins of talking before I remembered August was standing behind us.

"Oh lyn-lyn," I said as I noticed his eyebrow raised with a smirk expression, " this is the one i told you about. My boyfriend August"

August made his way over and gave Carlyn a little half-hug. "Nice to meet ya"

"Same here. I always see Evo's posts all over her Instagram with you...cute couple!" She said winking at me.

"Wait ya call her Evo?" He asked.

"Uhh yea, remember what I told you a while back. Everyone back home kinda has a nickname ending in O...well except Carlyn to me...she my lyn lyn!" I gave her a little fist bump as we laughed.

August was pullin on his little beard still with this cheesy smirk.

"What?" I finally asked.

"Nun...just reminds me of dat broad Rachel Ray" he said.

"Oh the chef?" Carlyn confirmed

"Yeah...she always in ha shows like pass me a little bit of E.V.O.O" he laughed out loud.

I was confused, " I still dont get it." Carlyn seemed lost too.

"E.v.o.o is short for extra virgin olive oil ma. Her callin ya Evo makes you sound like some a dat...evoooo!" He really burst out laughing at that.

I raised an eyebrow. Carlyn was also laughing.

"Whatever. You such a clown" I rolled my eyes as August wiped a tear away fron his eye

"Whoo!" He said as he finally contained his laughter.

"August you got jokes man" Carlyn told him

"Dats what everyone says, Extra virgin hea is da only one who doesnt seem to get my humor" he chuckled and she joined in

"Call me that one more time and lets see what happens to you," I threatened

"Nah im coo." August said." Anyway what yall gon do now?"

We both looked at each other and said in unison, " shopping"

August shook his head smiling, "aight I gotta meet up wit Noonie so imma catch yall later. Bye Carlyn, see ya E.v.o o!"

He quickly jogged away chuckling before I could say anything.

*********6 hrs later*******

Carlyn and I had spent hours at different boutiques downtown, and were now back at the dorm with Anika.

"Let me see what ya bought for tonight." Anika said to carlyn. She went through one of the bags and pulled out a black dress with some mesh detailing.

"Ooo dats hot. I see where Eva gets her style from cause I still fail to believe she comes up wit all her outfit ideas...damn nerd" Anika teased.

"Nah actually she kinda my stylist. Always helps me find the best pieces" Carlyn laughed.

My phone rang at that monent.

"Hiii Auggy Bear!" Anika grabbed it and said as she put it on speaker

August laughed, "aye Anika...howd ya know it was a nigga?"

"Nigga please. Im here...who else is gon call Eva. Ya know she got limited friends" anika said.

" sorry. Maybe I should go to church more often and acquaint the whole congregation" I said giving her a warning look as in to not let me sell out her secret.

"Uhh here's ya phone" she said taking it off speaker

"Wassup ma?" August asked

"Im good. Tired from all the shopping tho"

He laughed a little. "So yall in fa da night soon?"

"Actually no...we goin out to Diamonds of Atlanta tonight"

"Get it get it!" Anika said at my words. "Yasss!" Carlyn laughed

"Da strip club?"

"Yup. Ive never been to one so we was like why not gon get turnt!" I said feeling excited bout our plans

"Nahh. I on want chu at no strip club ma, dat place is fa da ratchets" August said.

I frowned. "August we're just going to have a little fun...and you know we're not in dat category...well mayb Anika a little bit" I joked

"I said no ma"

Excuse him? I thought taking the phone from my ear and staring at it like da fuck for a second

"Why are you so against me going there. You go to strip clubs all the time!" I said getting annoyed

August sucked his teeth. "Eva you a good one, and I just dont like da thought of ma girl throwin up dollars and slappin on some raggedy hoe's ass. "

I sighed. I really didn't want to argue with August so I compromised

"Fine August we wont go" I said flatly

"Aight...listen I gots to go. Studio time."

"Yeah ok" I still answered flatly

"Talk to ya later babeh" he said but I didnt respond before he hung up

"Where arent we going?" Anika asked sensing somethin was up.

"August doesn't want me to go to the strip club. Says its not a place for me since im so darned perfect and lady like" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes

"Is dat nigga your nigga or your daddy girl?!" She turned up her nose at me

"I honestly wasnt in the mood to argue wit August and I sure not in the mood to argue wit you nika" I sighed

She sucked her teeth.

"We can go to a regular club." I said

"Yeah thats cool wit me. As long as I can get me some vodka and cran inna my system!" Carlyn smiled

"Sooo whatdya say Nika?" I said waiting on her answer.

"Fine...but we takin shots tonight. None of dat bougie shit I see some of yall "classy" ladies do at da club" she replied.

"First round is on me" I answered back with a smile.

********

As we got down to Prism a few hours later, shit was really popping off. The floor and vip was packed. We immediately made our way to the bar as I kept my promise.

"Ayeee! Lets fucks shit up!" Anika shouted as she through back her shot glass. We did the same and toasted the empty glasses.

Niggas In Paris came on a few minutes later.

"Oh shit! Thats my TUNE!" Carlyn said as we all scrambled to the dance floor.

Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine us! Dat she cray!

We all sang and danced like a couple of gangsters.

We were spending our time between the bar and dance floor as we would each take turns to get drinks.

I was on my 5th drink, pineapple ciroc and the liquor was setting in. I was at the point of fading without no return.

Drake's the motto came on and my eyes widened.

Anika noticed, "ohh fuck! Dey done let da cat out da bag!" She shouted as Carlyn laughed hard.

Everyone new I LOVED me some Drake.

"Thats da motto dats da motto!" I sang and began really dancing.

I was grinding my waist and dipping low without a care. I felt so lit! Thanks to the alcohol and music.

"Wait a minute aint dat August?" I heard Anika say in what seemed to me super loud. But who knows, my high was on full blast so it coulda been that.

I spun around with a little difficultly following hers and carlyn's gaze.

Sure enough I spotted August at the bar with Lloyd and Lloyd's bodyguard Terrance. Oh and not to mention some big assed chick chatting away with him.

She seemed wayy to friendly as I felt my head begin to heat up

"Who is that thirsty chick doe?!" Carlyn said also sounding extremely loud

"Oh fuck no!" Anika said as the girl ran her hand up August's shirt. She was about to charge forward but I grabbed her arm pulling her back.

"Leave him" I said seriously

They looked at me like I was crazy. My motto was innocent until proven guilty so I wanted to watch August's response since right now it was only the girl making advances.

"Eva...you need to let me go over there and rip that 2000 year old lookin weave off dat hoe's head" anika said to me

"No," I said still lookin directly at August. "Leave him...if he as much as breathes to close to plastic surgery barbie over there believe me...I wont need your help"

"She's right doe Anika...and we might need to stop in the atm after to get some money to bail her outta jail. Eva dont play" carlyn said sipping on her drink.

I watched as August smiled at the chick then turned and said somethin to Terrence.

But you know what I wasnt goin to waste a perfectly good high spying on August. Especially not when my song was on replay!

I remained where I had a good view of them but continued my dancing.

I was beyond turnt! As I love bad bitches began playing.

***Aug Pov****

After work me and some of da squad decided to hit da club. While at da bar some broad came up to me.

"You seem a little young to be in here" she said with a thick Spanish accent.

"Shhh dont tell nobody" I said giving her a friendly smile. Wrong! Thing I did. She posted up at da bar right next to a nigga

"Im Mercedes...and you must be guapo" she said

I aint gon lie she was hella bad. But I wasnt lookin fa nun a dat.

"What?" I asked

She Chuckled, "it means handsome"

I nodded, before turning to T. " nigga can we go elsewhea...Mercedes benz over hea is tryna put da moves on a nigga. And I fa one hav had one too many thots in ma life"

Terrance laughed and nodded. We was bout to go up to da VIP when I noticed this chick bumpin and grindin straight ahead of me on da dancefloor. She kinda reminded me of Eva.

"Wait dat is Eva" I said out loud as she turned around facing me.

T and lloyd heard me and saw where I was looking.

I made my way across the floor walking up behind her.

Her eyes were low like she had smoked a joint but I knew it was da alcohol.

"Oh look ladies. Its August!" She said still dancing and then laughed

"Ya didn't tell me yall were comin to da club tonight" I said as she continued dancing around me.

"I didnt tell ya we werent either" she smiled saying. She must have been really faded.

"Oh but you did tell me you were working tonight. Failed to mention you comin to da club as well?" She said.

"I wonder why" she raised an eyebrow at me before lookin back at ole benz at da bar.

"Eva, she came up to me and was runnin her mouth bout some gwap shit. I on even know her" I said brushing off da chat I had wit dat broad

"Ok" she said as she went down real low then makin her way back up. Shit kinda turned me on.

"I still dont see why u couldn't say you were goin out tonight doe. See im just hoping face lift over dere really has nothin to do wit it" she said a little loudly

"So what ya dont trust me now?" I said back at her.

She cackled at my words. "You know I trust you, but its me you dont seem to trust"

"What?" I said furrowing my brows.

"Maybe you dont trust dat I can behave myself when I go out...why you didnt want me to go to a strip club!" She said

"Clearly when you get wasted you dont" I answered her lookin her up and down.

Fuck, maybe I shouldve just kept dat to myself

Eva narrowed her eyes at me and stopped dancing. "Ladies...lets go" she said

"Where ya goin ma." I said standing in her way.

"To D.O.A" she said looking me dead in my eyes.

She walked pass me and I was a bit pissed now.

"Why da fuck you wanna go to a strip club so bad anyway?!" I snapped as Anika and carlyn followed Eva.

She paused and looked at me, and sang directly at that monent wit da song playing

I love bad bitches dats my fuckin problem!

Before shrugging and downin da rest of her drink.

I shook my head at em as they walked away, drunk as fuck in dere heels.
