Chapter 6.
I called my father, and I was hoping he would have said no, but he said yes. I officially had to go out with Braylen. I wasn’t really feeling it because I don’t go out much and I am more of a loner. I didn’t have too many clubbing clothes, so I threw on what looked the best out of everything that was clean. I was decent enough, Braylen said I looked nice, but most likely compared to the other girls, I was probably just average. I wore a white fitted button down shirt, with a black belt around it. Some black skinny jeans, and some silver knee high boots. I laid my hair down and through some curls in it. Plain and cute. Not sexy, which I wasn’t anyway.
Before going to the club, I dropped a pair of pajamas and a couple more Pull-Ups off at my dad’s house for Deon.
For some reason, I had an eerie feeling about this whole club thing. I had a feeling that I wasn’t going to have a good time. Either I was going to be right or I was going to have the time of my life, only time will tell.
We pulled into the parking lot, Braylen wasn’t lying when he said it was going to be packed. I mean there were cars every where, and they were still pulling in. We walked and met the bouncers. It was $30 to get in there, luckily I bought a $50 bill with me. I didn’t plan drinking much, only because I barely did it anyways.
Stepping into Scully’s, I was very much aware that many people were inside, more specifically, many men were inside. Everywhere I looked, it was about ten to twelve guys and maybe three girls. It was really crowded and Scully’s is a nice size club. Scully’s is a twenty one and older joint, and the last club Braylen carried me into was an eight teen and older club. That club was filled with tons of immature and ignorant teenagers, and I surely will never attend one of them again. I would rather sit home all day bored to death before I step foot into a club like that.
I was having a pretty enjoyable time, even though I didn’t know one song by this Waka guy, but I nodded to the beat and pretended like all of these songs were my jams. Braylen sure was a fan because he rapped all the words to every verse.
Whenever I was accompanied by Braylen, none of the dudes would try to game, but as soon as I was at the bar, either getting myself or Braylen a drink, they would try to spit; I wasn’t impressed even a little, with any of them. There were a lot of guys here, true, but not a large quantity of cute ones. I never have accepted the fact that when a place is packed, it has majority unattractive people within it.
I ran into many people I knew, some I liked and some I didn’t. I even saw Marcus’, twenty-eight year old self in here. He should know damn well that he needs to be in a twenty-five and older club, up in here looking like somebody’s dad. I was hesitant on whether or not I should give him the message from my sister, but if they weren’t in touch now, then it should stay that way. She already has enough bad things going on with herself, he would just add fuel to the fire. I decided to keep it to myself.
Marcus, sadly, is Deon’s father and because he is his dad, he should be able to take care of him, but he can’t, that’s why I have him. Even if he was stable enough, he doesn’t have the intelligence to raise a two year old boy so regardless if that is his son or not, he wasn’t going to have custody of him and do who knows what. He is a drug dealer and I don’t think he would have wanted to keep Deon anyway. Deon is now two, going on three in a couple of months, and Angie became a serious heroin addict shortly after he was born. I wouldn’t be astonished if she had been doing the drug even before he was born. When mom died, she grew to be out of control. I still do not comprehend the fact that Angie still wants to be in contact with someone who basically corrupted her life.
Braylen and I were sitting on a plush couch available at the club, chit-chatting. The Waka guy had left minutes ago and we were struggling to hear each other over the loud music, but we managed to do it anyways. When I looked across his shoulder, I saw the perfect face to make my heart drop. I turned around and waited a couple of seconds, just to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating, it was pretty dark in there, so it could have been anyone, but when I caught his glance again, there was no denying who he was. He was looking at me with a sinister smirk on his face that only angered me, he new exactly what he was doing and knew how to push my buttons.
“Stupid ass bitch,” I murmured to myself, with extreme rage. Braylen had no choice but to hear my random outburst, even over the loud music. I don't curse much often, and to hear them three words, it was pretty evident that someone made me upset.
“What’s wrong?” he asked now concerned.
I continued to sit there, not answering his question. I really didn’t know how to explain to him why I was so mad. He doesn’t even know half of the story. Yes, Braylen is my best friend, but there are some things I just can’t bring myself to tell him. I eventually said something.
“Nothing. I just saw someone that I really don’t like. Can we leave now?” I asked.
“But we were having such a good time. Don’t let nobody ruin your fun. You haven’t-” I cut him off.
“Yeah, but my pleasure of being here has been exhausted. I really don’t want to run into them again.”
He sighed, I knew he didn’t want to leave, but I did, desperately, “Well I guess so. Only because you didn’t want to come out in the first place.”
