Junya asked
"You forgot you followed me here? Lani said softly. I am here with a few
of my colleagues and associates. Why would you question me like such in front
of people you will never know? Shall we?"
Lani opened the room door to where she had been for the majority of the
night. The three women were there, along with some other men, and another
man who seemed familiar to Junya. The man stood up as soon as Junya walked
into the room.
"What the fuck you doing here nigga!" A man with a fitted hat over his
eyes said. The man stood up, and Junya saw his face. The man took off his hat
and exposed a large bandage over his forehead and part of his scalp. He tapped
a man that was standing next to him, and immediately recognized Junya.
"Hell yea, that.s that bitch ass nigga right there!" The man said. The man
with the hat was in fact, Halftime. Halftime was the man that Junya had hit over
the head with a champagne bottle at the club. The man that was with Halftime
was one of the men that was there with him during the altercation. Halftime
rushed at Junya and tackled him down to the floor and started to swing on him
in the face.
"What the fuck?" Junya said aloud. Junya put up his hands to block the
punches that were coming at him. Junya pushed Halftime off of him, and
Halftime fell backwards. Junya quickly jumped to his feet and rushed at
Halftime, only to be held back by a bunch of the women that were in the room.
The man that was with Halftime reached into his pants and pulled a gun out and
pointed it at Junya.
"You ain.t shit so stop fronting! You ain.t hard! You ain.t no thug! You
ain.t no hustler! Stop fucking with my nigga like you on his level! You just a
mother fucking player hating male groupie; you need to get the fuck out of here
before somebody kill your ass!" The man said with extreme anger in his voice.
At this point, the lights had been dimmed, there was rap music in the
background, and the women in the room outnumbered the men 5 to 1. At that
moment, a knock was at the door. One of the women answered the door, and
Khevasiah walked in.
"What the fuck are you doing here? Junya said as he looked in disbelief at
Khevasiah walking into the crowded room. She had on a new outfit; one Junya
did not remember her having with her during the trip. She was escorted by two
men, and another woman who was talking on a cellular phone. It was as almost
a path had been cleared for her to walk through the room. Khevasiah did not
even turn into Junya.s direction. She walked up to Lani and gave her a
Hollywood hug, and then she walked up to Halftime and gave him a hug and a
kiss on the cheek. Junya looked even more shock at the fact he spoke loud, and
yet still Khevasiah walked passed him without even turning her head.
Khevasiah then sat down on the lap of Halftime, and looked up and noticed that
Junya was standing in the room. Khevasiah.s facial expression had changed just
as Junya.s did, only she added a look of embarrassment for Junya. Lani, out the
corner of her eye, analyzed Junya.s observation of Khevasiah, and then she saw
the look on Khevasiah.s face. She then tapped her girlfriends from the elevator
on the shoulder and they started to leave the room.
"Hold on Lani...I ain.t through with you yet." Junya said as Lani passed
him. Lani nodded her head, and proceeded to walk out of the room.
"Leaving already? A woman sitting on the bed in the room exclaimed out
loud. It looks to me that the party is just getting started!"
Khevasiah did not stand up off of Halftime.s lap. Junya could do nothing
but stare, and noticed that Halftime was staring at Junya with flared nostrils. He
then started to caress Khevasiah.s ass, and gave off a tremendous grin. He then
whispered something to the man sitting next to him. He busted out with a huge
laugh, then stood up and walked over to the woman sitting on the edge of the
bed. He spoke to her in her ear, and the two held hands and walked out.
Up until Khevasiah had walked into the room, Khevasiah had not spoken
to Junya. Junya put his hand up and fanned it down in the direction of
Khevasiah, turned around, and stormed out of the room. Junya ran towards the
elevator and punched the down button to leave the room. Junya turned around
to look, and still, Khevasiah had not chased after him. The elevator door opened
and Junya headed downstairs to leave the building. Junya ran towards the place
where he parked the Land Rover, and noticed that it was not there. Junya looked
up and down the block, but did not see it. The rain had started to come down
harder, and Junya just stood there. He stood there in the rain.
