Tonight was Blake’s birthday party. When I went to Infinity Rollers with her it was a hell of an experience. That was the place to be on a Friday night! It was more than skating. It was a culture vibe and I loved it. The rink was wide with a DJ that played the best music.

The arcade was even bigger with every game you could think of. And the food! Oh, my goodness the food was so good. I wanted to go back every Friday night just so I could keep trying new things from the menu. Even the parking lot was a scene, music, cars parked and everyone having a good time.

I could not believe there was no fighting or anything worse. That night I met Blake and I had to admit that she was so pretty in person. When she came over to me and Siren, I picked up on some light flirting between the two.

But Siren never did too much, Blake invited us to her birthday party and we accepted. The women loved Blake and hung on her the whole time at Infinity Rollers. But Siren fell back and had fun with me. She even ended up getting another girl’s number.

I enjoyed that about her, even though she liked Blake she did not let all the groupie’s attention bring her down. But I saw how Blake looked when another girl was talking to Siren. At first, I thought it was the drinks I had that were manipulating my vision. But I knew what I saw and Blake was bothered.

“Well, after she sees you tonight, she will make you hers and put her head right where you want it.”

“Girl! I pray from your mouth to God’s ears that you are correct! I want her so bad! At this point I’m about to slip something in her drink and kidnap her!”

I laughed at my silly new friend while I turned the light off in my bedroom and we walked downstairs. I really wanted Hendrix to come with us to the party. But he had work to do with his cousins and brother.

I wanted him and Siren to meet but I know they will eventually. Siren grabbed the gift bag for Blake, and I thought it was so sweet that she got her something. Her car was parked in the space next to mine and we decided to take a Lyft ride to the party.

“Damn that’s a lot of people but the line seems to be moving fast.” I said when the ride arrived at the club and I saw the people.

“I know and it will keep getting longer as the night goes on. Ready?”

“Yup.” I answered as I put my purse on my shoulder and we both got out of the car.

Me and Blake stood in line. She had our invitation in hand. While we waited me and her made jokes about certain people’s outfits and shoes.

Siren and I just blended good, we had the same humor, style in clothes and even had the same hobbies. Hendrix constantly told me to get a female friend and now I had one. Our turn came up to enter. Siren gave the bouncer our invite, he ripped it in half and tossed it in the trash.

Then he stamped our hand and told us the stamp could only be seen under the blue light that the bartender had. Because we were under 21, we couldn’t order drinks from the bar. But Blake told us at the roller rink that her and her cousins snuck bottles inside so we could drink if we wanted.

“Not to be funny but I expected this place to be filled with women from wall to wall. There are more good-looking men in here than I thought.” I looked around like a hungry tiger searching for prey.

This is how it was when we went to Infinity Rollers. I was starting to love Detroit men over Arizona men.

“Girl Blake and her cousins are popular. That’s why I told you don’t sleep on tonight. Your dick slinger might be in here!”

I laughed at her, “Dick slinger! Please Siren!”

A security guard came and took Siren’s gift bag. She then grabbed my hand, and we went onto the dance floor. Migos-Slippery song was on, and we both started dancing with each other. Siren could twerk good to the beat in her shorts, and I was rooting her on and hitting her booty as she danced.

Then I twerked against her and she gave me the same energy while making sure my dress did not come all the way up. We were having a good time, and I even landed a good-looking dance partner. When I turned around with my back to the person I was dancing with.

I saw Blake in the crowd, there were girls in her face like normally. Me and her made eye contact and she immediately looked until she saw Siren. My sweet friend was in her own world dancing on another girl with short dreads. I played it off and danced closer to Siren when I saw Blake wasn’t looking anymore.

“You’ve caught the birthday girl’s attention! I think she’s on her way over.”

Siren followed my eyes, only Blake wasn’t where she just was.

“Came to my shit but don’t speak. Don’t wish me happy birthday or nothing. That’s lame as hell y’all.”

We both turned around when Blake’s voice spoke.

“There is a long trial leading to you. Eventually we would have made our way once everyone else got off your jock!” Siren told her with her charming smile.

But Blake did not crack one grin, she looked at the girl who Siren was dancing on.

“You can go on Junie.” Blake told the girl.

I assumed this Junie girl would have checked Blake for speaking to her like that. Instead, she held her hands up smiling then walked away.
