" YASSS MAMA ! THROW IT BACK " I heard Keisha yell while I threw my ass back at Pablo and boy did he catch it ! His one hand held my hip and the other was at the back of my neck. My hips moved to Pop Smoke's x Welcome To The Party and Pablo matched my rhythm. Today was the day of Mr Diablo's party / Gala and we were currently on a limousine on our way to the venue. Thank God the adults were riding separately because shit was wild over here ! Even Ciara was less of a bitch tonight, I had one glass of wine and yes, one glass of wine is safe for the baby but that one glass definitely did something to me.

" SHE GON THROW IT FOR A NIGGA !" De'arra screamed hyping me up obviously drunk and I continued grinding on Pablo. He pulled me down into his lap and wrapped his arms around me gently before leaning down towards my ear.

" Babygirl stop because my Lil nigga is getting excited ." he said and I stared at him confused for a second until I realized what he just said and burst out laughing, now I know what's poking me !

" I know, it was kinda poking but I thought it was a gun or something. " I said shrugging while smirking at him.

" Yes a AK47 !" he said grinning and I decided to tease him a little.

" Meh ! I beg to differ, matter of fact I thought it was a taser, you know the little ones that fit in a purse . " I shrugged before grabbing my juice from the cup holder and sipping it.

" CAP ! YOU CAPPING AMANDA ! " he yelled while dying with laughter and I joined him.

" AYE ! STOP LAUGHING LIKE HYENAS AND LISTEN . " Ken yelled at me and Pablo.

" Watch how he gonn say some dumb shit , GO ON NIGGA WE'RE LISTENING." he whispered the first part to me and I snickered.

" I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT EVERYONE LOOKS AMAZING, ESPECIALLY YOU BABY . " Ken said pointing at De'arra gaining a few 'Awws', me and Pablo looked at each other and burst out laughing again.

" See ? I told you . "

" but we actually do look good though ." I said admiring everyone's outfits.

^Ken & D

^Keisha

^ me

^Ciara

And of course Pablo wanted to be rebellious and wear whatever the heck he wanted to wear.

" especially you babygirl . " he said mocking Ken .

" Pablo stop , dang !" I said hitting him on his arm.

" My whole arm just went numb, talk about some manly hands. " he said chuckling while rubbing his arm.

" tAlK aBoUt sOmE mAnLy hAndS , shut up ! " I mocked him before mugging him.

" I'm sorry friend . " he said mocking me, wrapping his arms around me, giving me one of his warm hugs and we stayed like that until we arrived at our destination. And yes, I asked Pablo if we could remain as friends simply because I'm axhausted of men . I honestly don't see myself with any a man anytime soon, as sad as it may sound but it's the truth and Pablo understood that, well I think ! These past few days we've been hanging around each other a lot and I can't lie and say I didn't enjoy myself because I did.

" Ready to step out ? " he asked when the car came to a stop and I simply just nodded.

" Let's go then ." he said offering his hand and we both got out of the car, hand in hand and the rest of the crew followed . We posed for the cameras, De'arra and Ken obviously getting most of the attention since they're YouTubers. I wonder what Mr Diablo does for a living because the place was packed with paparazzi and wealthy looking people.

" My father owns a couple of business and properties." did I say that out loud ?

" That's nice." I said while looking around.

" I guess, let's go inside ." he said before taking my hand and walking inside the venue, which was breath taking btw ! Mr Diablo is rich rich huh ?!

" I need to use the bathroom ." I said with a pout.

" Should I accompany ?" he asked before rubbing his hands together and licking his lips.

" Eww no ." I chuckled at his foolishness.

" Damn Amanda, that hurts you know ?!" he said with his hands on the chest.

" Whatever, I'm going. " I said rolling my eyes before walking away from him. I maneuvered my way through the crowd until I saw huge doors, the only doors in here actually besides the entrance . The doors led to another separate venue except this one wasn't as packed as the other one, it was actually empty and dimly lit . I walked down the hall until I saw a bathroom sign.

" Enkosi bawo !" (thank you Jesus !) I said before fast walking into the bathroom.

" Oh Mr Diablo is definitely rich rich !" my jaw dropped the moment I opened the bathroom doors .

" Bane mali abantu bethuna, Imagine how expensive it must have been to rent this place out ! " I walked into the bathroom, the sound of my heels hitting the marble floor echoed, that's how big the bathroom was. The bathroom was black and gold, it matched Mr Diablo's theme actually and had lighting coming from every direction and mirrors in every angle, literally the perfect place to take a selfie . This bathroom had mini black velvet couches scattered around the bathroom, insane right ?

" Shoot I gotta pee ! " I quickly ran into one of the stalls and did my business. I sat there with the bottom of my dress on my waist and my butt on the toilet seat relaxing . I'm so axhausted, I want to go back home already.

After using the bathroom, I washed my hands and left, going back to the venue . I was gone for a few minutes and came back to a semi-full hall , good luck finding the crew !

" Don't you look beautiful ." Mr Diablo said slowly approaching me with a glass of champagne on his hand.

" Thank you Mr Diablo and happy birthday ." I said genuinely smiling at him .

" Enkosi ? Isn't that what they say in your language?" he chuckled, shrugging his shoulders.

" Wow ! You've been learning Xhosa ?" I asked excitedly .

" No but I did hear you say it once or twice to my sister so it kind of got stuck in my head and now I can't stop saying it to people. " we both laughed , me, shaking my head at him.

" I'm proud, you might as well be Xhosa now " I said dusting invisible dust on his shoulders, hyping him up.

" I know , matter of fact I should be leading the whole tribe . " he said confidently and I burst out laughing at him.

" Aren't we getting a little bit ahead of ourselves ? " I asked with my arm on his shoulder, leaning onto him.

" Maybe just a bit, like a tiny bit . " he said and I threw my head back laughing before mumbling sure.

" Your hands are empty so let's go get you a drink. " he suggested and I simply just smiled before nodding. He put his hand on my lower back and led me to the bar. He pulled a chair out for me when we arrived at the bar and I thanked him before taking a seat and he sat beside me.

" Hoog ! " he waved the Asian bar man over .

Me and Mia walked in through the doors instantly feeling the tension in this place.

" We're definitely being targeted. " Mia said chuckling.

" I know , Charmaine do you hear me ?" I asked as we slowly walked into the room. I spotted Charmaine on one of the stages dancing .

'Yep , loud and clear.'

" Do you see him? " I asked grabbing two glasses of champagne for me and Mia from a waiter passing by , one of our man actually. I gave him a head nod before he walked away.

' Yes ! He's at the bar and unfortunately our barman bailed out on us so drugging him is out of the picture .'

" Take care of that barman ! We can't have anymore slip ups ." Mia said before dragging me to the dance floor.

" Hey, I know it's risky but we going to have to move on to plan B, let's light this bitch up !" Mia said as we swayed side to side as the slow music played in the background.

" MIA ! " I scolded before twirling her and pulling her back into my arms.

" What ? This party is boring, they could use the excitement. " I simply just shook my head before chuckling.

" We need to cover our bases first for a smooth escape, check the ceiling . " I said before twirling Mia and dipping her causing her head to face upwards .

" I don't see any cameras except for the one facing the entrance ." she said before I pulled her up and we continued to dance .

" Yes but I can't help but feel targeted, there are people watching us but I can't locate them ." I said as the music switched up to a more faster beat, raggae to be specific . Mia's eyes popped in excitement before letting my arms go and moved her hips seductively and I simply just mugged her .

' Boss there's actually 3 around you and Mia , the men dressed in similar maroon velvet suites are Diablo' s men and there's 7 men on the balcony looking down on the dance floor. The 4 women by the chocolate fountain also work for him, they are armed. That's pretty much the only men he has around, or the only men I know of '

" please tell me we have more men than him !" Mia said as she whipped her hair around while dancing , this girl.

'Yep ! We have double the amount of men and we have weapons starched in different areas of the hall, there's one under Diablo' s seat by the bar actually.'

" Impressive ! " I said as she chuckled.

"Let's split up and mingle before they start getting suspicious." I said kissing Mia' s cheek and mumbled 'be safe ' before walking away from her. I pushed my way through the people making my way to the chocolate fountain , I need to see these so called women that Diablo trusts . On my way to the the fountain I accidentally bumped into someone causing them to fall.

" I'm so sorry sweetheart, pardon me ." I said offering my hand and they took it, it was till then that I was able to see the person's face.

" Dang ! I almost lost my lif- Hey don't I know you from somewhere ? I'm pretty sure I do ." she said obviously drunk, you could smell the alcohol.

" I don't think so , if we've met before then I'd know because you're beautiful." I said smiling at her.

" Hey ! No flirting I have a fiancé . " she said hitting my arm and I just chuckled .

" Pardon me ma'am but I wasn't flirting , I was just simply complimenting . " I said genuinely with my hands up .

" Okay so now I look like an idiot ." she said with a pout.

" No you don't ! " I said snickering.

" Shut up ! You can't even contain your laughter. " she said causing us both to laugh .

" Anyway I'm De'arra , what's your name ?" she said before reaching her hand for me to shake .

" I'm Euginio , nice to meet you De'arra. " I said before taking her hand in mine and shaking it, she's obviously genuine and good company but I can't just be giving my name out just to anybody.

" Oh yea ! We've definitely never met , I've never met anybody named Eugene . " she mocked and I laughed because that was literally the worst name I could come up with.

" I have to go Eugenious , I have a fiancé to twerk on. " she blunted out and I playfully just pushed her .

" Go ! It was nice meeting Ms . " she held a thumps up for me before disappearing into the crowd.

' Who are you and what have you done to my brother ? Since when do you act human and hold actual conversations ?'

" Aren't you exaggerating just a little Mia? I can't be that bad ! " I scoffed !

'Actually boss, you are that bad .'

" Can the both of you please just shut up and be on the look out ? Appreciated " I said chuckling.

'Boss you're not going to like this .'

" What is it Luke ? " I asked rolling my eyes still making my way through the crowd, how many people did Diablo invite ?

'Look towards the bar '

I turned and looked at the bar, SHIT !

" AMANDA "

' AMANDA '

Another cliffhanger ?! I know , I hate myself too. 😩

Y'all I'm so sick , I have the worst fever ever ! It's so draining and I'm literally always axhausted, that's pretty much the reason why I haven't updated so forgive me please.

Anywayssss... I'm loving this new side of Leonardo ! He isn't really nice but he's atleast acting human. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I didn't proof read the last three chapters, excuse any arrors 😩
