Tonight was the album release party of the homeboy of your girlfriend. the party had started about an hour ago but you had already told Athena youd be late, due to a late meeting and traffic. she was fine with it and got there first. you trusted her, that was your girl of four years almost five now. you knew most of the people that would be there and she wasn’t too social without you anyways.

now when you got there, Athena was with her home boy Trey and all they friends in a private booth passing a hookah around, like the party couldn’t start without it. She introduced you to those you didn’t know, you greeted the few new faces and it was cool for like 45 minutes.

Until you find yourself in the back of the club in a corner talking to Athena. A small disagreement about something stupid from earlier this week that got brought up in a slick comment under one’s breath. Now at this point Athena was higher than you and wasn’t having it, at all. you knew how to argue, she hated to argue. So y’all was clashing. but it was stupid enough to have faint smiles tug here and there with sarcastic jabs too.

But the argument was other the moment Athena took a deep breath, gazed the room with her low eyes and stood up right. Her hands push into the waistband of the jeans she had on and she tilted her head looking down at you quietly. She had a temper, you knew when the limit was met. you could’ve kept going but tonight you was in a good enough mood to stop. to know that arguments would only stop you from whatever night you wanted back home
