Chapter 22: Birthday

━━━━━━━━━━━━

|Odell| 🐻

If decorating for a birthday party wasn't hard enough...

It was....

Me and my homeboys are decorating the house for Ari's birthday

I asked Tae and ari's other friends to take Ari away so we can finish decorating

Its gon be a whole house party

Honestly speaking why couldn't i hire someone to do this shit

"Ayo... who is coming to this thing anyway" Druski asked

"You know.. Ari's friends are coming over... y'all are coming" i said, "i've invited some of my teammates jamal adams is coming also von"

All the boys just looked at me...

"What?" I asked

"You inviting von miller" druski asked, "why... that nigga fucked your girl mind you before you guys even met... and he tried pushing up on her at target"

"I invited him because i wanted to talk to him about that" i said

In all honesty... that's truly the only reason why i invited him... i mean he my homie but we haven't even talked or hanged out in a long time

And the Whole Ari thing is the reason why me and him haven't even talked for a while...

"The most important Question is Ari okay with him coming tho?"

Shit...

"I didn't even tell her" i said

All the boys just looked at me....

"What" i asked again...

"This might be your last day on earth my nigga" ben said, "how you gon hide something like that from your girl"

To be honest... i don't know myself and we on a good place right now

"I mean if he wants to just talk to von about the whole ordeal then that's fine, so we shouldn't judge him about that" druski said, "this party is going to be lit regardless what's going to happen between Odell and Von"

"Yeah yeah you right" ben said, "let's sort this house out in the mean time"

My phone started ringing and i was wondering who was calling me

And it was tae

"What tae?" I said

"Damn Odell, no hey, no how are you?" Tae said to me

"Sorry, i'm just stressed about this party man" i said...

"Its okay... i can sense that you stressed" tae said, "anyway i just wanted to ask what time should we bring Ari"

"Bring when the party is actually starting fool" i said chuckling, "i thought i told you this tae"

"You did and i forgot... and i just wanted to be reminded by the way" tae said, "okay.. i'll bring Ari around that time"

"Cool, any more questions?" I said to tae

"Actually yes, there's one" tae said, "who did you invite?"

Oh god, let me just tell him who i invited...

"I invited my friends, you guys" i said, "and von miller"

"WHAT?!??" Tae Exclaimed, "boy are you crazy?"

"Tae don't tell her invited him please" i said, "i just wanted to talk to him in private about everything"

I mean at least i'm telling her best friend about this

"Okay fine... but you better tell her before the party starts Odell because i can't keep information like that for a really long time"

"I'll tell her when she comes... just make my baby pretty for tonight" i said, "i hope you didn't say what around her"

"Boy... i'll get your girl snatched and anyway i didn't say what around her... i was far away from her well i was in the back while jayda and them were in the front" he said, "okay gotta go, your girl is looking at me crazy.. bye"

"Bye Tae" i said and dropped the phone..

Time to finish the house and decorating it

━━━━━━━━━━━━

I was in my room looking for an outfit

While i was wearing a towel around my waist

"You still don't know what you wearing" i heard druski said...

I jumped because this nigga should've announced that he was in my room or something because shit...

I could've gotten an heart attack

"Dude i don't know what i'm wearing... yo go check if Ari and them are there yet?"

"Aight... i'll go check and bro just relax... Ari will like what you did to the house on her birthday" druski said as he got out of my room

When i say i'm stressed.. i really mean that i am stressed the fuck out... i mean i've never been this stressed when it comes to doing parties

But the fact that it's Ari's...

Its getting to me

Then i heard my phone ring..

I'm just going to ignore the call because i ain't got time

As i was going through my closet i found a white shirt, white jeans and dior sneakers and a beanie

LETS GOOOO.. I'VE GOT AN OUTFIT LADIES AND FUCKING GENTLEMAN

As i was checking myself out the mirror in the bathroom... i heard all my friends chatting in my bedroom

Again... i don't know why they here in my room instead of downstairs

I walked in my bed room... to see ben, Druski, Jamal, Trey, Pardison, Jarvis and Rashad

"Ayo, how do i look?" I asked my friends doing a 180 turn for them

"You look fresh too death man" Ben said..

"Thank you.. thank you" i said, "i try"

"See this why i don't give Odell compliments.. this nigga starts acting like the last slice of bread" druski said

"Ohh you got jokes huh?" I said, "anyway.. are the guests arriving"

"Yeah" ben said dragging me out of my room "look at all these people man"

I saw a lot of people in my house... people that i've known...

People that i met in the club and even the people that i follow that are in the rap industry...

You know...

There was some girls... thanks to Druski and ben's ass

i ain't want no parts..

"Listen Check if Tae's here and stall him" i said, "i'll tell people to hide and we gon say surprise"

"Aight bro i got u" ben said

Ben went downstairs and out the door

While i told people to hide around the house...

Druski and them hid behind the counter with me...

We heard the door open and we heard Ari speaking to Ben

"Where the hell is Odell ben?" she said to ben

"On the count of three we say surprise" i whispered to Druski...

One... two... three...

"SURPRISE" me and everyone in the house screamed out... "happy birthday Ari"

"Oh my gosh baby"Ari exclaimed and hugged me, "you did this for me"

"I mean i gotta throw the biggest party for my girl you feel me" i said

I looked down to say Ari's Outfit and wow

My baby looked good

Too bad i'm gon tear that shit off

I just kept staring at her outfit and everything

"Boy why you looking at me like that" she asked

"I can't look at you now baby" i said licking my lips

"Aight... aight... enough of the lovey dove shit... lets get this party started" Druski said

As Ari was walking out to greet the guests...

I pulled her back..

"Later on tonight i'm tearing that shit off" i whispered in her ear...

"You nasty baby" she said to me...

"But you love my nasty ass baby" i said to her kissing her cheek

I slapped her ass and let go of her...

She gave me a wink and walked away...

Let's get this party started guys

━━━━━━━━━━━━

I was outside smoking hookah with the hoys

Looking at Ari dancing and having fun with her friends

God my baby be sexy as hell

"Nigga you been looking at your girl... she ain't going no where"  ben said chuckling

"Yeah i know nigga" i said laughing, "can't i look at my girl man"

"Aye man.. you can look at your girl" ben said...

I shook my head laughing.. this is why i like ben he be a comedian without even trying man...

I felt someone put their hands on my shoulder

I looked up to see druski..

"What's up?" I asked druski because this nigga never touches my shoulder...

Unless its something serious

"He's here" druski said

"Wait, who's here" ben asked until he had a moment of realization, "ohhhh"

"Where he at?" I asked him

Just when i asked that... i saw him come outside with his other friends

Tae came running to me...

"Listen... If Ari turns around and sees him... there's no telling him what she will do... just talk to him somewhere private please" tae said

"No problem" i said standing up...

I walked up to Von Miller and dapped him up

"Ayo, odell this party is jumping... who you throwing it for" he asked me..

"My girlfriend" i said...

"Oh really... who is she?? I would like to meet her" he said

Just when i was about tell him who my girlfriend was and that we have to talk in private

I felt someone's arms around my waist

I turned around to see Ari...

"Baby this is the best.. thank you for putting all this together" she said, "i love you so much"

"Wait Ari is your girl" von said

Ari just looked at me...

"Is that..." she said

"Ari listen..." i said

At this point i just need to tell...

Ari pushed me to the side...

She just looked at him and looked at me...

Oh shit

━━━━━━━━━━━━

|Ariana|🌸

I know for a fact... that this nigga is not standing right in front of me

I don't know whether to beat odell's ass or beat his homies for allowing him to do this...

But what i do want to know is

WHY THE FUCK IS HE HERE...

"Wait Ari's your girl for real" von said chuckling, "wow small world"

"Why are you here von" i asked him

Everyone started gathering around us...

"Your so called boyfriend invited me sweetie" he said, "wow odell, i thought you could so much better my nigga"

I'm getting heated...

"What the fuck is that suppose to mean Von" Odell asked...

He so fine when he started mad and shit and his Louisiana accent comes out...

"I mean come on, my nigga, you see this girl... she ain't even your type" von said.. "i mean to be honest with you.. she's just a hoe"

As soon as he said hoe

Odell hand landed on his face

What i mean is... Odell punched him...

Von landed on the floor

"What the fuck is that for Odell" he asked Odell...

"That was for disrespecting my girl under my house von" Odell said, "you know i was trying to be civil after the fact that you kept trying to push up on my lady and i wanted to talk to you about it... but the fact that you called my girl a hoe in my house under my fucking roof... my nigga... you deserve all the fucking smoke" Odell said, "you need to leave Von... NOW!!!"

Everyone started saying ooooooo

Von just looked at me and then looked at Odell

He stood up still holding his cheek...

"when you mess up... she's gonna come running to me my nigga because that's what ari is known for" he said, "oh ari... tell him the last time we saw each other"

"Nothing fucking happened you clown" i said to him, "i've been trying to be your friend but you keep pushing it Von... you pushed up on me at target.. you pushed up on me at the restaurant and at the club and i'm so sick of it"

Oh shit... i wasn't suppose to say that...

Odell just looked at me...

""Wait this happened more then once" he said

"Baby..." i whispered..

"We'll talk when this party is over" he said being all aggressive, "get the fuck out of my house von"

Von walked out the door with his other friends

Odell just looked at me and went walked past me...

Tae came to me...

"Ari you okay??" Tae asked me

"Yeah i'm okay" i said lying through my teeth

But For the first time...

I can honestly say...

I actually don't know...

━━━━━━━━━━━━

i'm in my room taking off my makeup...

The party ended not too long ago... and to be honest.. i'm glad that it's over

I couldn't enjoy it...

Odell wasn't talking to me...

When it was time to sing happy birthday... he came...

And then he left as soon as it was over

Tae said he'll talk to him and he did and i asked him what's up

And he told me that Odell is going to talk to me later when the party is over...

And to be honest... i'm scared

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs meaning he's coming up

I turned around to see Odell coming in the room and he laid on the bed

He's been giving me the silent treatment and i hate my anxiety can't take it

"Hey Odell... thanks for throwing the party" i said...

He ignored...

"You know there's cake down stairs want me to bring it" i said

He shook his head and still ignored me...

Fine...

I took the pillow and threw it at him...

"Ayo what the fuck" he exclaimed

Oh...

"I hate this silent treatment Odell" i said, "let's talk about today because i know you dying to talk about that shit"

He switched off the tv... and just looked at me

"Why did you hide that shit from Ari?" He asked, "we suppose to be able to tell each other everything... why the hell did you think it was a good idea to hide shit from me and this ain't the first time you did this"

I just looked down because i really do feel shitty for what i did...

"Not only that... you never told me you met up with him at the restaurant nor the club Ari... i hate how you fucking hide things from me" he screamed, "i love you aight... but i hate how you hide things and then i find out in the end... WHAT TYPE OF FUCKING RELATIONSHIP DO WE HAVE WHEN THIS SHIT KEEP HAPPENING?!?!"

I hate how angry he is... i really do...

I regret becoming von's friend because now look... we fighting over shit that could've been avoided

"I'm sorry Odell" i said, "i really am"

Tears started running down on my cheeks...

I was scared of losing him...

He made me feel things that i've never felt before...

I felt him pulling me in for a hug...

"Its okay baby" he said

He lifted up my chin...

"Just... from now on... can we please not hide shit from each other okay" he said, "we starting on a clean slate when it comes those things aight"

He kissed my forehead...

"I love you" he said...

"I love you too" i said...

He gave me a kiss on the lips...

Today was just... a lot
