“Who the fuck you talking to?” He thumbed his nose and leaned forward.
“Do you even love me for real?”
“I’m with you, right?”
Tyler chuckled as her eyes filled with tears.
“And you think that’s enough?” She scoffed. “Why do you love me?”
“Man, gone with all that shit. I love you because you’re mine and these hoes not fucking with you. That’s why.”
“That’s kinda pitiful.” Tyler gazed at him. “Stupid ass, immature ass answer, but what did I expect you to say?”
“I mean what the fuck you want me to say?” Dexter huffed, not in the mood for her wave of emotions. “You know I’m not no romantic nigga.”
“Right.”
“Man, why the fuck you tripping? That’s all you do now, bring the fun Ty back. This version depressing as fuck.”
“I’m drowning right in front of you, and instead of saving me, you’re standing there watching me sink.”
“The fuck is you talking about right now?”
“I’m drowning, Dex. I’m losing touch with reality and you…” Tyler softly cried. “You know what,” she paused, dabbing her eyes. “Just keep doing you, Dex.”
“The fuck is that supposed to mean? Doing you?” Dexter frowned. “You saying that like you’re about to leave me or something. Are you trying to leave me, Ty?”
“Ok yall. Let’s have a good night,” Bobbi pleaded, knowing where the conversation was headed.
“You trying to leave me, Ty?” Dexter repeated, thumbing his nose, seconds away from flying off the handle.
“It's not about you!” Tyler screamed so loud the driver swerved, sending Bobbi’s drink flying to the floor. “You talkingabout leaving you... Dexter, I wake up some mornings and want to leave Earth.”
“So now you suicidal?” He mocked.
“Might be.” Tyler shrugged, turning her attention to the strobe lights as they pulled up to their destination.
The listening party they were headed to was being held at the Roostertail near downtown Detroit. Rahlo’s team spared no expense with the rollout of his new music. The guest list ranged from Detroit’s royalty to Tubi celebrities. Strobe lights beamed in the sky, guiding partygoers to the venue where paparazzi stood behind velvet ropes, trying to catch a glimpse of the rich and famous.
“Baby.” Dex tapped Tyler’s leg when their driver came to a complete stop.
“Hm?” Her glossy eyes peered at him, letting him know emotional Tyler was gone and high Tyler was in his presence.
“I love you and I don’t wanna live without you, so stop talking like that, aight?”
“I’m fine, Dex. Let’s just go have a good time.”
“We was gone do that regardless.” Dex kissed her lips. “And then I’m going to work a nut up out that pussy.” He stroked her exposed thigh. “I promise I got you this time.”
With the Molly making its way through her bloodstream, Dex's hand on her thigh made her body tingle. The combination of his cold hand stroking her thigh and his warm breath on her ear sent Tyler's body into overdrive. A soft moan escaped her lips and her nipples hardened under the thin fabric.
“Oh hell nah, yall can feel each other up when I get out of the car.” Bobbi looked on in disgust.
“Don’t be jealous,” Tyler giggled.
“I promise you I have nothing to be jealous about.”
“I’m going to take care of you later, aight?” Dex kissed Tyler’s cheek.
