Cara finished applying her Beija-Flor elasti-cream to her exposed thighs and arms. The fruity and floral combination smell filling her nostrils. "Do you think this is too much or..?" She stood up from the vanity chair and turned to Katie.

"You look damn good. I haven't seen you show this much ass since freshman year of college" Katie let out a laugh and walked to the bedroom door "One second" she left the room.

The loud music now filled the room and many voices could be heard which meant that most of the people were now showing up. Cara took a step back and turned around to loved over the Black vinyl bodysuit she had on. It's not that she was insecure or anything but she haven't worn anything like this before. Her body was nice but she didn't find the need to always show it off.

Cara turned around and looked out the window, her eyes falling directly on Dee's house. None of the lights in the house were on. She wondered where he was and was he still going to come to her party.

"Uh oh. Are you looking for your man over there?" Katie's voice nearly scared her.

Cara turned around and walked away from the window taking one of the cups of her friend's hand. "What? Pshh girl I wasn't looking for him. Also that's not my man he's just cool"

"Mhm..You might as well get some birthday sex tonight. I mean it's been a while for you it wouldn't hurt" Katie shrugged with a smile on her face.

Cara tilted her head to the side in disbelief. "I literally just met him five days ago"

"And he should've put you in five different positions by now" Katie mumbled. She was the friend that was always openly honest with her sex opinions.

Cara grabbed Katie's hand and left out the room "You just don't care what comes out of your mouth huh. Let's go" Cara made her way into the now busy downstairs area. Some of her co-workers, neighbors, and people she knew all stood around engaged in their conversations, some dancing and drinking and others admiring the interior design of her home.

"This is soo nice Katie! You always do a good job" She eyed the realistic Halloween decorations she had placed around the house. It was honestly a well done job for her to only have one and a half day of preparation time.

Cara smiled at the huge four custom rose boxes that each had an a letter, spelling out her name. "Aww you shouldn't have! You know I love roses this is so cute." she hugged Katie who just stood straight up. "What's wrong? Hug me back!"

"Uhh, I didn't get that for you. I actually don't even know who brought that here" Katie looked around the crowd of people trying to think of someone who may have dropped it off.

Ari walked away from the couple she was currently talking to and went over to Cara and Katie. "You look good! Are you excited to finally be twenty one?"

Cara shrugged and placed a tight lip smile on her face in response to the people walking by that greeted her. "There's way more people than I expected to show up" she looked at Ari.

"Believe it or not people like you Cara. So here drink up and have some fun it's your day to relax" she slightly moved Cara's hand up closer to her mouth so she could drink.  "Oh! How the hell could I forget these were dropped off for you" she pointed at the custom roses. "From Dee. He said something about going to the studio first and then he would be here"

Cara moved the cup away from her mouth and  went over to the roses. The tip of her acrylic nails brushed over the flowers and she looked back at Katie who had a childish grin on her face.

Cara's smile dropped when she seen her ex coworker walk in,Chris . They didn't even get a chance to date because of how weird he was acting and not to mention the fact that he ghosted her. "Who invited him??" Cara looked between her two friends, her mood completely changed.

Chris looked over at the group of friends and nodded. He then talked to some random girl at the party. Ari and Katie looked at each other clueless. " I don't know how he found out about the party. I promise I didn't invite him" Ari held her hands up in defense. "No seriously, you know I wouldn't invite his little weird ass" Katie mugged him.

"But on another note" Ari put her attention on the front door where Dee walked in. "Cara" she grabbed her friend's attention. "Gone ahead and go over there" Ari pushed Cara in front of her.

Cara's eyes caught his and she made her way over to the door. "I'm glad you came" her eyes gleamed as they bounced around the area trying to not stare at him too much.

He grabbed her chin forcing her to look at him. "I told you I wasn't gone miss it for nothing Ma. I meant that" His deep voice turned her on in the oddest way.

"Y-yeah I know I just had to make su-" she was cut off when Chris approached them.

"Cara wassup girl" His usual slick smile on full display.

Cara didn't even look at Chris. Her eyes were locked on Dee's face who was showing an unexplainable expression.

Dee

11:52 PM

"Ouuu who is this? I thought you said she was single Dee?"

He could feel the anger in him rising. He didn't know who Chris was and really didn't care. All he knew was that he was making Cara uncomfortable, which was enough to set him off.

Chris squinted looking Dee up and down "Damn. I know you from somewhere.. I heard your songs I fucks with your music Bro, it's relatable"

Dee didn't smile or change his facial expression. Relatable? He didn't care if Chris was a fan, he was more worried on how he knew Cara. "Yea? That's wassup" he simply answered and leaned on the wall he was near. He wanted to seem as calm as he could in front of Cara. He was surprised when she came to stand closer to him, wrapping her arm around his torso.

Chris looked pissed, he looked between Dee and Cara and then chuckled. "Ohhh.. you hitting that huh?" . Deion was way more chill due to the blunt he smoked before he came in but he was definitely aware of everything that was going on.

He looked down at Cara and seen that her body language changed. She was very uncomfortable and wasn't even acknowledging Chris.

"You playing Captain save-a-hoe now.. That's funny"

Deion was letting Keisha's voice get the best of him, adding more fuel to the fire. He couldn't really get his response out because Cara took it upon herself to move her body in front of Dee's. She nodded at Chris only to make him jealous. "Yup we're together. Also who even invited you? You know we aren't cool so why come?"

Chris smacked his lips and walked away. "Easy ass bitch" he mumbled under his breath enough for the three of them to hear.

Dee tried to move Cara from in front of him but she pushed all of her weight onto him so Chris could walk away. When he was out of sight she finally turned to face him "Trust me, he's not worth it. Just a jealous ass guy that needs to grow up. Can you atleast smile please? I've only seen you smile once since I've met you and it was actually really cute so do again at least for me. It's my birthday"

To satisfy her he gave her a light smile, his hands finding their way around her waist and pulled her closer. "You right, my bad. I hope you enjoyed what I sent you earlier?" Although he was changing the subject he occasionally looked around the room to make sure Chris stuck around.

Cara  locked her hands around the back of his neck. "Mhmm, I loved what you sent me earlier. Especially since those were my favorite flowers and colors, how did you know?" she licked over her lips that were still glossed up.

"Because he's a crazy ass, obsessive, stalker. Run Girl!"

He was quick to answer "Ion know I just guessed which ones you would like" Pure Lies. He knew from the flowers he had seen in her house the first time he came over. He took in every detail that night. Her favorite colors, her neatness, her body language, everything stood out to him.

Cara's liquor was now sitting in her system as she grew more bold and fond to Dee. "Soo I was thinking.. tonight you can stay here with me? I just don't want to spend my birthday night alone" she straight up told him.

"She's literally making this so easy for you" Keisha rolled her eyes.

Deion nodded "Fasho, I'll stay as long as you're comfortable with it. I dont mind keeping you company" his eyes adverted to the door where he seen Chris practically stumbling out of. "I'll be right back, let me go smoke this second blunt it shouldn't take me long" he lied.

Cara looked around and then back up at him "You can honestly smoke right here, I don't mind" she didn't want him to leave even if it was only to go outside.

"I feel you but shit out of respect I rather go outside it's hella people in here. You gone ahead and enjoy ya time Ma. Ima be right outside" he licked over his bottom lip and parted ways with her, he didn't like that she was pouting but he had something to handle first.

"This is going to be interesting! Finally!? I haven't seen any real action since you moved to this neighborhood"

Deion followed behind Chris who didn't watch his surroundings. He was obviously drunk and was mumbling something to himself. He approached one of the lined up cars that was parked down the street and brought out his keys to hit the unlock button. Deion knew that the houses on this block had camera's so he went to his driveway getting into one of his cars instead of continuing to follow behind Chris.

He didn't want to be gone too long so he knew he had to make it quick. He backed out of his driveway and went down the street, keeping his distance behind Chris he didn't want to make it too obvious that he was following him. He grew angrier thinking of the possible things Chris could've done to Cara that made her feel uncomfortable.

Chris careless swerved in and out of his lane. He was drunk but thought he would be good enough to drive home. Dee pulled the glove compartment down and pulled out the gun he had inside, stuffing it in his waist band he had plans on getting answers out of Chris easily.

He was broken out of his thoughts when Police lights flashed behind him. "Fuck" he cursed to himself and pulled over. Luckily the cops weren't after Dee or Chris they sped past the both of them and headed to whatever emergency was occurring.

Chris took a few minutes to sit on the side of the road where he pulled over and get his self together, Dee on the other hand had different plans.

Chris was sitting in the driver's seat and was smacking himself to stay away. The last thing he needed to do was catch a DUI case. The passenger side door opened and a masked person got in. "What the fuck" Chris slurred.

"Drive" the person instructed and pointed forward. Chris would have argued with the person but he seen the gun that was sitting on his lap. "Make a left and then a right at the first alley" his voice was familiar to Chris but he couldn't put it together at the moment under this pressure. Chris pulled into a dark alley and cut the engine to his car. "Look I have money, jewelry whatever you need man" he pleaded.

Dee took the mask off of his face and grew mad at the reaction Chris gave him. He didn't care though he only came for one reason "How you know Cara and what did you do to her?"

Chris furrowed his eyebrows together "Man this shit about Cara? I don't know much about her I thought she would be a easy bitch to fuck but I was wrong. I don't care about her ass at all"

Deion, not satisfied with the answer only nodded and then let silence come between them. "That's all?" Chris finally spoke up and Dee made up his mind, he turned to Chris and put the barrel to the gun directly under his chin and pulled the trigger three times.

"Wrong fucking answer" he laughed and wiped his face from Chris's blood that splattered around the front seats of the car. Without another second passing he got out of the car and ran around the corner to where he parked. He looked at the time on his phone and seen that he was gone away from the party for about an hour now. He rushed back home just to shower and hope that Cara wouldn't notice.

Thirty-Minutes later

The medium temperature water now ran down his entire body as he reflected on what he just did. He wished he could change the way he was but it was a little too late for that. He was deep in and would do anything to make sure no one came in between the love of his life, Cara.

Once he was done taking a shower he slipped on a similar black Amiri shirt and jeans so no one would get too suspicious when when he returned back to the party. He sprayed on the same cologne as earlier and looked in the mirror.

"You are doing a great job Dee, pretty soon you'll be able to have her under your wings"

Dee looked at the prescription bottle that sat on his bedroom dresser and shook his head. "Nah not tonight" he fixed his shirt and looked out the bedroom window seeing many people leaving the party. This was the perfect time for him to slip back into the house.

He made his way across the street going through the front door. Cara no where to be found just a few people lingering around. He looked at the stairs and seen the light was on, he took this as a sign to go up. He went up step by step hoping that she was up there, he could hear the voices of Ari and Katie talking to Cara. She was definitely drunk rambling on about something.

"Yall what if I scared him off by coming on too strong? I should've never asked that right?" Cara's distressed voice could be heard over the music.

"You didn't do anything wrong girl maybe he just had something come up" Katie tried to make an excuse for Dee.

Dee couldn't let her think that he just up and left so he knocked on the bedroom door. "You good?"

His voice caught the three girls by surprised as the room fell silent. A few seconds later Ari swung the door open and moved to the side so he could come in. Katie stayed near the wall the entire time grinning. "I think we should go ahead and kick everybody out? How bout that?" Katie walked towards the door pulling Ari's hand.

"Damn I wanted to watch" Ari playfully chuckled and leaned onto Katie who was now helping her down the stairs while yelling at everyone remaining in the house.

Dee moved closer to the bed where Cara's side was. She had an empty plastic bag, small trash can and sprite by the bed. "You want me to come back another time?" He didn't want to bother her especially if she was drunk.

Cara shook her head quickly and held the covers up on the opposite side. "No I want you in the same bed as me so take all of that off" she referred to his clothing. Dee took off his hoodie and shirt first, Cara lost her focus as she took in the many tattoos he had covering his arms and chest.

Deion then took off the Gallery Dept. sweats he had on and Cara's eyes fell down to the huge bulging print in the front of his boxers. She clenched her legs together to keep her composure. The music downstairs now stopped and voices were now faint as people were leaving the house.

The heat from Deion's body was strong against Cara's chest. She turned the bedroom light's off and scooted her body as far back onto him as she can. The silence they laid in was surprisingly comfortable. Cara just couldn't take it any more, she flipped her body and brought her hand up to his jaw line rubbing it. "Dee where were you tonight?"
