That Unforgettable Moment

Chapter Seven

Aaliyah

My eyes fluttered open to an unfamiliar room knowing that it's not mine. I heard the shower running in the bathroom. I sat up in an upright position rubbing my eyes to wake myself up.

I stretched my body out a little to get my muscles going while giving out a big yawn. I scratched my head and looked down at myself noticing that I don't have any clothes on. I then came to realize what had happened last night.

"Oh My God... I lost my virginity last night!" I said under my breath so no one can hear me. "s**t!! f**k, f**k, Fuck... I got to get my ass out of here."

I hurried up and quickly got out of the bed, but when I did, the area between my legs started to hurt like hell. I had to keep moving to get out of here so I just limped around the room quietly to find my stuff.

I hurried up, put my clothes on, grabbed everything that belongs to me, and tip toed out of the room.

I limped down the hallway and heard that my phone was vibrating. I looked at it and noticed that it was Sabrina calling me.

"Hello?" I answered quietly.

"LIYAH! WHERE THE f**k ARE YOU? Me and Sasha was worried sick when you disappeared on us last night! We tried to wait for you but we got kicked out cause of the clean up people and shit." She exclaimed to me.

"I am so sorry about that Bri, I'm still at this big ass house trying to get out of here. Girl, I got s**t to tell you and Sasha, and you guys wouldn't even believe me when I tell y'all."

"Like what?" She asked.

"You'll be surprised what I got to tell you."

"Damn! It's like that huh?"

"Yes!" I blew out.

"Alright, well, hurry and try to get out of there and I'll come and you pick up."

"I could just order a Lyft." I suggested. That way she don't have to drive all the way up here.

"You're not ordering s**t. I'm too curious to know what you got to say. Does it pertain to that guy you were dancing with last night?" Sabrina inquired. I didn't say nothing as she brought him up. When I became silent, Bri knew that she was right were the money is.

"Oh girl...." I heard her huff on the other end.

"I'll tell y'all everything when I see y'all." 

"Okay," we both said out goodbyes and hung up on each other.

I walked downstairs and saw that the place was spotless compared to last night. It just occurred to me that Sabrina did mention that some sort of clean up crew was here. They must have been hired to do this over night.

I was passing through the living room almost making it to the door until I heard someone said something behind me.

"Wassup?" I jumped and turned around to notice that it's Sabrina's cousin, Randy. This guy is truly a pretty boy and I bet all the girls be swooning over him.

"Oh, hi..." I greeted him awkwardly.

"Going somewhere?" He crossed his arms and chuckled at me.

"Yeah, home, I'm trying to get out of here and..."

"You don't want my boy to notice that you left, huh?" He finished what I was about to say.

"Yeah, right." I said with awkwardness.

"Look, if it makes you feel any better, I'll take you home if you want?" He offered.

"Oh, no, that's okay, your cousin is coming to get me anyway. Even though I suggested that I get a Lyft, either way, you don't have to worry about that."

"Oh really?... hmm," he reached in his pocket and pulled out his iPhone 11. He dialed a number and put the phone to his ear waiting for the person to answer.

"Bri, you don't have to worry about your friend here, I can take her home.... it's fine cuz .... no worries... I'm a good driver you know that.... she'll be fine trust me... A'ight..... Bye." He hung up the phone and got his keys.

"C'mon girl lets go." He nudged his head towards the door and we made our way to his car. He seems drive a Mercedes G wagen. Sabrina always talks about getting this car one day. She honestly never shuts up about it.

He unlocked the door and I got in the front seat as he climbs in the drivers seat.

"What's you address ma?" I told him what it is and he put it in his phone. He started the car up and made our way to my house.

"I appreciate you for taking me home Randy." I thanked him.

"You one of my baby cousin's best friends so no worries."

"Aww you are so sweet."

He snickered at my comment I made about him, "don't let the sweetness fool you now." I giggled as I paid my attention towards the road.

It was so sweet of Randy to take me home. He is actually a really cool guy to talk to. He admits that he gets around when it comes to women, but I think was catching feelings when he was talking to Sasha last night, and I know Sasha was most defiantly feeling him too. I can just tell when they were gawking at each other.

An hour had passed by and we were still having a conversation with each other. Soon, he pulled up to my house.

"This a nice little neighborhood here." He complimented. 

"Thanks, and thank you again for taking me home." I told him as I grabbed my stuff and was about to get out the car, but I stopped midway as I feel that I didn't properly thanked him.

"I feel like I need to properly thank you. Let me see your phone real quick." I stuck my hand out. 

"Whatchu need it for?" He asked with curiosity. I smacked my teeth at him.

"Just give it to me, trust me." I informed him. He stared at me hesitantly, unlocked his phone, and gave it to me. I went to his phone app and went to new contact. I typed in Sasha's name and put a heart emoji next to it. I then typed in her number, saved it, and handed it back to him. 

Once I gave it back to him, he was astounded at what I did.

"You gave me shawty's number?!" He asked surprised.

"Yep, I know you were catching feelings for her while y'all was talking with each other. So, I figured I was doing you and her a favor by giving you her number." I told him.

"You sure she'll be cool with you giving me her number?" He asked in reassurance and no Sasha will not be cool with me giving him her number.

"Oh she will be thrilled." I lied.

"Okay then... I guess I'll see you around Aaliyah."

"And I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing you around as well Randy."

"Bet."

We both said our goodbyes as I got out of the car. He didn't drive off until I made it in my house. He honked and I gave him one final wave before I closed the door and locked it. 

I took off my heels and went straight to my room. I was tired as f**k, I wanted to soak myself in the tub. I took off all of my clothes and set it to the side to handle later. 

I've made my way to the bathroom to run some bath water. I put some bubbles and some Epsom salt in it so I can relax more and ease the pain between my legs away.

I got my phone and my speaker from my room. I then made my way to back to the bathroom. I checked my phone as I noticed that I have several missed calls. I have 12 from my parents (they are going to be pissed when I call them back), 7 from my own brother (another pissed one), and 5 each from Sasha and Sabrina.

I've made a mental note to call them all back later on today. I also told myself that I need to let the girls know what happened. Knowing them, they are going to flip from what I got to tell them.

I charged my phone in the bathroom and put on my bluetooth speaker. I went to Pandora and selected the Nicki Minaj Radio.

"Moment 4 Life" happened to play throughout the bathroom. I tied my braids up in a bun and got into the bathtub filled with nice hot water and bubbles.

I tilted my head back and let the water soak into my body. I relaxed in the tub and rapped along to Drake's verse:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ugh

What I tell'em hoes bow bow bow to me, drop down to ya knees.

Young Money the Mafia that's word to Lil' Cease.

I'm in the Dominican Big Papi Ortiz.

Doin' target practice all these bitches just aiming to please.

Shout out to the C.E.O. 500 degrees.

Shout out to the O.V.O, wear wings and fatigues, ow!

Yeah, be very afraid.

These other rappers getting bodied and carried away.

Fuck it, me and Nicki Nick gettin' married today.

And now you bitches that be hatin' can catch the bouquet, ooh!

Yeah, you a star in my eyes.

You and all them white girls, party of five.

Are we drinking a lil' more? I can hardly decide.

I can't believe we really made it I'm partly surprised, I swear.

Damn, this on for the book, man!

I swear this s**t is as fun as it looks, man!

I really tryna make it more than what it is. 

Cause everybody dies but not everybody lives!

Uh!

I bobbed my head to the rest of the song while bathing. A few more songs played out as I washed myself off. I got up, drained the water, and turned the shower on to rinse the excess soap off of me.

I got out of the shower and completely dried myself off with the towel wrapped around me. I grabbed my phone and speaker and went back to my room.

I began to put lotion on myself and put some deodorant under my armpits. I went to my dresser and put on some underwear and a tank top to get myself ready for bed. 

Once I got under the covers and my head hit the pillows, I was out like a light.

As I was sleeping, I drifted off into replaying last night. f**k what a night!

"Wait, wait, wait... you had WHAT?!!!" Sasha asked me with a shocked expression. 

"Yes, you heard me correctly. The reason why I disappeared last night is because I had sex." I told them.

After I took my long needed nap, I called them over here to tell them what happened. I told them everything that had happened to me last night.

"With who? The guy you were dancing with?" Sasha asked while still in shock. To be honest, I'm pretty damn shocked myself that I'd put myself in that position. Me sleeping with someone I barely knew is something I would have never thought I would do.

"Yes, it was with him." I confessed to them. They both scoffed with disappointment at my response.

"b***h!" Sasha shouted.

"Girl!" Sabrina implied.

"I know, I know, 'what was I thinking?' 'I can't believe you did that.' Yeah, I get it." I already knew what they were about to say. There was a short pause between the three of us until I started the conversation back up. "Y'all want to know something?" I waited for their response.

"What?" They both asked in unison.

"This wasn't the first time I've encountered him." I pointed out.

"Really, so when and where was the first?" Sasha asked with eagerness.

"I first met him at my job." I chuckled, "I was minding my business doing my work, until I heard him asked for assistance. When I approached him..." I tilted my head back as I reminisced that day, "....I  could have sworn I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart was racing liking it's competing in a marathon."  I explained to them as they were looking at me very intrigued by what I was saying.

"And as you guys saw, that dude was fine!!"

"Mmhmm, yeah, I'll admit he is fine." Sasha added on, "But Sabrina, your cousin Randy is too fire girl." She gushed as soon as she mentioned his name. "It's too bad I won't see him again." She deeply sighed as she sadly shrugged it off. If I was her, I wouldn't shrug that off too quickly.

"Yeeeaaah.... about that....." I dragged out getting ready to tell her. "See, I was trying to sneak out of that place and was going to wait for Bri, but.... Randy caught me and he was so sweet that he took me home. In return, I kind of, sort of, purposely, gave him your number." I told her with a guilty expression even though I'm not.

I know Sasha will get on my ass right now, but she'll thank me in the future. As I've waited for her reaction, Sabrina sighed and started to count down from three seconds with her fingers and then pointed at her on cue.

"AALIYAH DIAMOND JAMES!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!? I SHOULD DROP KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK!!!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I'mma need you to bring your voice three notches down, okay? There is no need for all that." I tried to calm her down.

"To be honest here, I did your ass a favor. Besides, don't sit here and front like you don't want to talk to him, cause I know you do." I grinned at her. She looked away in a blushing expression.

Me and Sabrina both smirked at her because she knows I'm right. And I for damn sure ain't sorry for giving Randy her number. Like I've said, she'll thank me for even doing that s**t for her.

"You are such an ass Liyah." She shook her head at me.

"I love you too boo." I blew an air kiss at her.

"b***h, shut your ass up." She threw a pillow at me and I quickly dodged it. I just sat there and laughed.

"Besides, what makes your ass think he'll even call me? He probably thinks that my number is just for keeps and won't even call." she protested. Me and Sabrina looked at her ass like she was stupid.

"Girl after last night? I highly doubt that." I said.

"So y'all say, but I'm telling you a guy like him won't even..." just when she was going to finish what she had to say, her phone started playing Savage by Megan Thee Stallion. That indicates that someone is calling her. 

"Who the hell is this?" She said looking at her phone confused and annoyed at the same time. 

She plugged her nose and started to answer the phone. She's trying to fake her voice for them scammers and s**t. "Hello?.... Whose calling?.... Oh, Randy! Hi, how are you?" she unplugged her nose and asked him. Me and Sabrina grinned at each other and did our signature hand shake (And yes the three of us do have a signature hand shake. That's how tight we are.) s**t, I knew it would be a matter of time when he starts calling her. I'm just surprised that it would be this soon.

Sasha exited out of my room while engaging in a conversation with her future boo, Randy. 

Me and Sabrina busted out laughing after what just took place. "Smooth move for giving my cousin her number." Sabrina commended me.

"Well hey, it's the least I could for him since took me home. He didn't have to do it, but he did. Honestly, it sure as hell beats waiting around in a neighborhood I don't know." I told her.

"True, and yeah he has a kind heart when it comes to the ladies. He and his brother, Lonzo are pretty much the only family members I f***s with. Our moms have been close, and the three of us have been close as well. All of our other family members on our moms' side are a bunch of fakes and full of shits you know?" I can totally relate to her.

Me and DJ don't usually get along with our cousins from our mother's side as well. Every time we go down to Sacramento, we always be fighting them assholes.

"Girl I know the same exact feeling. Me and DJ always get into it with our own cousin's from our mom's side as well." I mentioned to her. "They always got some s**t to say to us. Always want to start s**t with us for no f*****g reason. See, we cool with a couple of them, but not the rest of them. Now, we play it cool and mind our own damn business, but sometimes they just seem to push the wrong buttons to set the both of us off. That's why me and him are off to ourselves most of the time." I explained.

"I feel it... Okay enough about them, lets talk about this guy again." Sabrina sat up from my bed and started lighting up a blunt.

I got up as well and sighed, "Girl I thought we've already address this?"

"No not really, we've addressed the fact that you had s*x for the first time. And we've also addressed the fact that he gave you your first few orgasms. But for real though, who is he? You didn't give us a name." Sabrina asked as she took a pull from her blunt.

"Well, name is Gavin but for some reason he likes to go by Ice. However, when we were having s*x he didn't mind me calling him by his real name." As soon as I said that Sabrina started choking. I reached across and patted her on the back.

"Are you okay? You need slow down on smoking that shit." I advised her so that smoke wouldn't go down the wrong pipe next time.

"Never mind that Liyah, but what did you say is nickname was again?"

"Ice. Why? What's up with you? Why you reacting like that?"

"Girl," she sat her weed down on an ashtray she brought. "You realized who you slept with last night?!"

"Should I worry?" I responded feeling sort of perplexed. I'm trying to figure out why Sabrina is making a big deal out of this.

"Aaliyah, your dude Gavin, a.k.a "Ice" isn't just any random guy you had s*x with."

"Girl would you just tell me!? s**t!" Getting really impatient with her. I hate that she is dragging this out. 

Sabrina took in a very long inhale before she stated what she was about to say. "Aaliyah... Ice is a drug dealer. But he's not just any drug dealer. He's more like a drug lord. In fact, he's the most biggest, notorious, and the most dangerous drug lord in California!"
