"Ooh bitch record me real quick."I said to Raven as I handed her my phone.

"Ohhh my goossh we look so good!!"she exclaimed while grabbing my phone.

"This is what you call money."I said while posing.

"Yo bitch, she regular. I'm hot, be careful."I rapped while turning around.

"These hoes is not fucking with you best friend, not even on yo worst day!!"Raven yelled as she ran her fingers through my ponytail.

"Best friend these hoes can't even get close to us."I said while recording the both of us in the mirror.

I heard a horn blow and I looked at the time on my phone.

"That's us, you ready?"I asked her.

"Yep."she said while grabbing her clutch and mask off of the counter.

I went into my room and grabbed mines.

We locked up before heading outside to the all black Suburban Von had sent to pick us up.

Tonight is one of our friend's birthday.

Lola, she's throwing a big ass masquerade party tonight.

Everybody who got a name out here or are plugged in with her are gonna be there.

Von is going to be there of course because Rita's old ass is her friend also, I'm not sure why though.

Yeah but she wanted everybody to come in pairs so Raven and I are going together.

We're also matching and I feel like we're gonna be the best dressed, masked up and all.

It's been a while since I've dressed up like this so I just can't wait to get there and show off my outfit.

Since Von knew that we'd be attending he got us a chauffeur for tonight.

Raven already told me that if she finds a lil vibe, she probably gone leave with them.

Hopefully she does because my best friend has been extremely lonely.

She's also been booked and busy but I think she's ready to start dating again.

No matter what I'm rooting for her.

When we pulled up to the party, the driver parked before opening the door and helping us out.

"Thank you so much!!"I said to him as I got out after Raven.

There was a red carpet leading up to the doorway along with photographers taking pictures of us.

Raven and I stopped to pose a couple times before walking into the building.

When we got inside, we were greeted with champagne.

"Welcome."the waiter said while handing us both a glass of champagne.

"Thank you."we both said.

"Bitch this mask is hot!"Raven said.

"It's probably that breath."I said before we started laughing.

"You just like my daddy, ain't shit."she said and we laughed harder.

Raven and I both headed to the section where they had us report to.

Luckily since we didn't come with many people, like some did, we got to be in the section with the birthday girl.

"Aaah oooh my gossh y'all look so beautiful!!"she exclaimed once she saw us.

"Thank you!! Look at you though, I'm loving this pink!!"I said and Raven's thirsty ass was over there tearing that champagne up.

"Everything is everything."Raven said while smiling at Lola.

"Thank yooou!! Tonight is going to be a time so I want you all to enjoy yourselves. There's food over there, the bar over there, entertainment right there, and a photo booth over there. Have fun meet some new people, everybody here is somebody you never know who you'll meet."

"Okay well thank you beautiful, we sure will enjoy ourselves!"I said looking around.

Before I could turn back around I locked eyes with Von.

Even though we were wearing masks, I could to tell exactly who he was and vice versa.

His little puppet was right there standing in front of him.

I turned around before looking at Raven who was dancing to the music.

"You trynna head over to the bar?"I asked her.

"Yes ma'am!!"she exclaimed.

We left out of the section and headed to the bar.

"Hi ladies, how may I help you!?"one of the many bartenders asked us.

"Umm is this the menu?"Raven asked him as she pointed to the laminated paper sitting on the counter.

"Yes it is."

"Okay well ima do the lemon drop martini."Raven explained to him.

"And you?"he asked me.

"I'll just have a piña colada."

"Coming right up."

"Girl look at her looking like Oscar the Grouch."Raven said and I turned to look at Rita who was wearing green.

The shitty looking green too.

"Old ass over there looking shitty."I said and we laughed.

I watched as some guy stood behind Raven.

She smiled at someone behind me then I pointed behind her before I turned around myself meeting with Von.

"Wassup Onyx."he said and I chuckled underneath the mask.

"Hi Von."

"You look good tonight."he said while looking down at my body.

"Thanks."I said shortly.

"Where my hug at?"

"Where yo bi—"I began to say before he pulled me into a hug anyways.

It was a spicy one too, none innocent.

I was caught off guard because I don't think he'd do anything like that in front of all of these people.

Luckily there was people crowding around us so they couldn't see much.

"There she is. Hey Onyx, this is my sister in-law. She was wondering if you could do hair for her brother's wedding party."Lola walked up to me and said.

"Oh okay yeah do you have social media, or your brother?"I asked her sister as I removed Von's hands from my ass.

Lola had a concerned look on her face.

"Yes we do actually."she said while pulling Instagram up on her phone.

"You mind if I type my Instagram in?"I asked her and she nodded while handing me her phone.

I typed it in before handing her phone back to her.

"Okay that's my Instagram page if you wanna let him check out everything and umm just dm me, I'll most definitely get back at him."I said and she nodded.

"Thank yo so much!"

"You're welcome."

They walked away and Von hugged me again in the same way.

"Damn you look so sexy."he said.

"Mhm."I hummed as I grabbed my drink off the bar countertop.

"Von why are you over here?"

"I had to come speak didn't I?"

"It don't take that long to speak and keep on going."

"Yo ass scared now or some?"

"Scared of what!?"

"Getting caught."

"Nigga you the one that's gone get fucking caught. ...I mean if you were contacting your lawyer and getting those divorce forms ready, we wouldn't have to worry about this. Until then leave me the fuck alone, seriously. I'm tired of hiding and coming out only at night. I could be sparing my time with a nigga who actually wants to be wi—"

He immediately grabbed me by my throat.

"The moment you do spare to time with another nigga, ima wack his ass and ima beat yo ass."he said in my ear before letting me go.

He looked around and then called his friend before they both left.

I watched him all the way until he got back to his section.

As he were wrapping his arms around Rita, he was staring at me.

I shook my head before turning around to Raven.

"Bitch what did he want?"she asked me and I shook my head nothing.

"He was just talking shit, what about homeboy?"I said while taking my mask off and drinking some of my drink.

"He just wanted my number."

"So..."

"I gave it to him, he's cute and funny."

"Look at you getting on out there!!"I said and she rolled her eyes causing me to chuckle.

"What's his name?"

"He goes by Muwop."

"Muwop.. interesting. He's most definitely Von's friend."I nodded as I looked at his section.

They were all dancing and rapping to the music.

The only one who wasn't was Von, he was sitting down drinking from a styrofoam cup.

He was about to look over here but I hurried up and turn around.

"Okay I'm bored, dance floor?"I asked Raven.

"Bitch we can't twerk here, can we?"

"Hell yeah we can. I'll be damned if I don't and they're playing MeganTheeStallion."

We headed over to the dance floor and danced.

Sometimes we'd dance then go back to the bar.

It was a repeated cycle but we didn't get rowdy drunk.

Von was watching me all night but I didn't pay him no mind.

Raven and I even went around to talk to some people.

It was a blast, we had a good time.

📍

I walked into the house and took my heels off.

I ran into the to take a long piss.

The doorbell had rang and I took my time before going to get the door.

"Who is it!?"

"Von, yo nigga, from the O!!"I heard and I sighed before opening the door.

I gave him a fake smile as he walked in.

"Wassup."he said while closing and locking the door behind him.

"Who here with you?"he asked me as we walked into the kitchen.

"Nobody, it's just me."

"Gimmie some love."he said while opening his arms.

"Why are you here?"I asked him as we hugged.

"I came to see you."

"Mhm. Why you not with your wife?"I asked him as I backed away.

"You steady talm 'bout the wrong thing."

"'Cause I'm tired of waiting on you. You say you wanna be with me. Why not hurry up and leave her and be with me?"

"Listen we already talked about that in the beginning, I told you I'm working on it. I got you, I got you like you got me."

"You don't got me like I got you."

He walked over to me and tried to grab my hand but I pulled away from him.

"No I'm tired of this. I don't come second to no nigga, ever."

"Who you been talking to!?"

"Nobody, I've been trynna be faithful to you. You either gone give me your all or you gone stay with her."I said while pushing him back.

"Listen, I thought we had an understanding about that."

"Clearly we don't."

He started laughing.

"So you don't want me?"

"I do want you but I don't want you to be with her. You either gone be with me or you gone be with her, what it is?You don't even treat me like you treat her."

"Merch it."

"It's obvious Von. You don't spend as much time with me, we don't go out in public, we gotta hide, you don't treat me the same. It's like I'm just a piece of ass to you and you're still fucking her."

"So I don't treat you good?"he asked me as he walked up to me and hugged me.

"No you don't."I pulled away from the hug.

"Turn around."

"Turn around?"I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"Yeah I got you."he said and I sighed as I turned around.

"Talm 'bout I don't treat you good, whatever."

"You treat her better than you treat me and I'm the bitch that you want the most. Come on what are you doing!?"

"Just be east baby aight."

"I'm tired of being easy. What are you about to do!?"

"I said I got you aight."he said while putting something around my neck.

I looked down at the tennis necklace.

"For me!?"I acted surprised.

"Come on man."he chuckled while putting it on me all the way.

"Ima take it but I still don't believe you."

"You be worrying about the wrong shit."

"No it's called self love you're not about to treat me like shit. You need to treat me like you treat her."I turned around and said.

He placed a bracelet that matched the necklace on my wrists and I smiled.

"I got you baby, I promise. Just be patient mama."he said while hugging me and I hugged him back.

"I've been patient enough."I said as he kissed my neck and picked me up.

He sat me on the island counter and took his shirt off.

We started back kissing and shit before the doorbell rang again.

"Who is it!!?"I yelled irritatedly.

"Girl it's Lola open the door!!"

I pushed Von away and he grabbed his shirt and went to the half bathroom.

I went to get the door.

"Damn girl you took long enough."she said while barging into the house.

"I was cleaning."I lied and she looked around.

"It looks pretty unclean to me."

"I gotta pee."she said while going to the front bathroom and I stopped her.

"Noo you can't got to that one."I said.

"Umm okay."she said and I lead her to my bathroom in my room.

I waited until she was finished after a couple of minutes and she came back.

"Girl Von bought Sha'Rita that same necklace, it's beautiful."

"Oh thanks."

"Girl who's shoes are these?"she asked me as she looked on the floor.

"Oh girl my photographer's."I lied while trynna push her towards the door.

"If you was getting it in with your photographer just say that."

"No I wasn't but you gotta go because I'm finna get in the bed sorry friend."

"O-okay well I understand, have a good night."

"You too be safe out there."I rushed her out of the door.

When she was gone Von, came out and we finished where we left off.
