Nova Lux's POV.

"Your tongue has been in my mouth, among other places, if you don't shut ya big ass up, 'fore I kick it boy!" I yell over the music.

The whole table roars with laughter and TJ mockingly laughs back, with us.

"Ma'am that was one time! Y'e'en have to expose me like that" he pouts.

^^ Taran 'TJ' Johnson.

One of our friends, Naomi, teases him further.

"Gosh, I mean... if ya need a shoulder to cry on, now that your crush has dumped you, you know where to find me" she says with a wink.

^^ Naomi Futaba

TJ lays in her lap, posing as a damsel in distress.

"Kiss me, Naomi. It's the only way I'll ever get over her" he says.

So she leans forwards as if to kiss him, then kisses his forehead.

"Your tongue has been in her mouth. I'm jealous of you and I won't forgive you unless she gives me a kiss first, so forget it" she says.

I sigh.

"If you wanted to kiss me... you could have just said it." I say to her, taking a sip of my drink.

She instantly kicks TJ off, who nearly hits the ground and she leans towards me for a kiss.

Now I don't usually go around kissing women.

But Naomi is my best friend, so it doesn't count.

I give her a small peck and she grins like I've just gifted her the world.

"Mannnn you niggas make me sick!" Our friend, Isaiah, says sitting down with the newest round of drinks.

^^Isaiah Thomson

"His girlfriend, Bree sits on his lap and shakes her head.

"Not you, being homophobic!" She jokes.

^^ Bree Mensah

He mean mugs her.

"Girl shut up I'an homophobic. The fuck would I do if I was homophobic in a place like this?" He asks, gesturing around to place the emphasis.

And he's right.

There are couples of all genders, races and sexualities in here.

This would be the funniest and worst place for a homophobe to reside.

"Boy if you don't shut ya ass up. Talkin' bout I should shut up. How about you make me" Bree challenges.

"What, you want a repeat of last night?" Isaiah asks, completely unfazed, like the dom he is.

That's how they started.

Dating is how it's going.

Before she can respond, he cuts in again.

"How many times did I make you finish last night?" He asks.

She glares at him.

TJ's jaw drops and Naomi picks up her fresh drink, taking a sip.

Isaiah holds her chin.

"What, nothing to say? You a little speechless?" He asks.

She stares at him, dumbfounded.

"Mhm, that's what I thought. Keep it up and I might just do what you asked me" he says, leaning back with her still in his lap.

She rolls her eyes and he makes a face.

I look away.

We all know she is outright risking her life rolling her eyes like that.

We all filter back into conversation again and I watch my friends talk, flirt and have fun.

It makes me smile.

Naomi notices.

"You? Smiling? What's the occasion?" She teases.

I roll my eyes at her.

"What, a bitch ain't allowed to smile? Is it cause I'm black?" I ask.

She punches my leg.

"I told you to stop making jokes like that!" She whines.

I hug her and she crawls onto my lap.

"Forgive me?" I ask.

She nods.

"Of course" she sighs, looking up at me.

I give her a grin.

"What are ya looking at?" I ask her.

"What? I can't look at you?" She asks.

"Nah, fuck you, pay me" I respond.

She rolls her eyes again and puts her head back on my shoulder.

"You have a pretty ass smile is all" she says.

I look down at her, to see her cheeks have gone a little red.

"Thank you doll" I respond.

She puts her face into my neck and I immediately look up to the rest of our table.

Isaiah and Bree have gone somewhere.

And TJ is cornering a woman and flirting like his life depends on it.

"Naomi" I say.

"Hm?" She asks.

"You drunk?" I ask her.

I know the answer.

"A little" she responds.

I chuckle.

I thought so.

She's always so affectionate when she's drunk.

"Let's get you home" I say.

She nods.

I drop a text in our group chat and I pick her up.

She swings her legs about, head still on my chest.

I take her to my car and buckle her in gently.

"Let's go to your house" she says.

"Mhm" I respond absent minded.

It's not unusual for her to crash at any of our houses or vice versa, when she's had too much to drink.

So I take her to my house.

I help her inside my apartment building, half dragging her up the stairs and taking her to mine.

We go inside and I lock the door after me.

I take her to my room and I help her get undressed and into one of my pyjama shirts.

I tie her hair up and I wipe her makeup off, tucking her into my bed.

"I'm on the couch if you need me" I say, yawning.

She gives me a sleepy response, so I leave, going into my bathroom to change.

I wash all of my makeup off and I throw my clothes into the laundry basket, walking in my underwear and a singlet into my living room and I crash onto my couch, pulling the blanket and one of the throw pillows onto me, so I can sleep.

I feel myself drifting off and I fall asleep quickly.

***
"Noves. Nova, get up" I hear.

I slowly open my eyes and I blink in the dark.

"What? What's the matter?" I ask groggily.

Naomi is standing over me.

I suddenly sit up.

"Did you throw up in my bed?" I ask her.

"That was one time!" She hisses.

I relax.

"Then?" I ask, rubbing my eyes.

"I can't sleep" she complains.

I sigh.

"Are you hungry?" I ask, getting up already knowing the answer.

She follows me bare foot into my kitchen and I kick my sliders at her for her to wear them.

I grab a saucepan and some oil, heating it up

I grab some chicken nuggets and I put them to the side.

She grabs the ice cream and leaves it out to defrost.

I fry the nuggets, yawning as I do and she just watches me.

"What is it?" I ask, scratching my neck.

She shakes her head.

"Out with it" I say, taking the food off of the fire and putting them in a tissue-lined bowl.

"Why did you say no to TJ?" She asks me.

I shrug.

"I need someone who can take my instruction well. I got love for TJ, but he could never handle me and what I like" I say.

"Hm" she responds.

"Why the sudden interest?" I ask her.

She doesn't answer, instead picking up the bowl and goes to the living room.

I sit on the couch and she sits next to me.

We share the nuggets and when we're done, we share the ice cream.

I lay down, full and Naomi lays next to me.

She puts her face in my neck again and I almost freeze up.

"What do you need from me, Naomi?" I ask.

She puts her arms around me and pretends not to hear me.

"Girl, I know you can hear me" I chuckle.

She opens her mouth and bites my neck and I stifle a scream.

"Naomi?!" I ask.

She laughs at me

"What do you think I want?" She asks me, lifting her face to mine and looking at my lips.

"You know I don't fuck women" I remind her softly.

She nods, running her hands along my abdomen and down to my shorts.

I look her dead in her face.

She boldly puts her hands down my shorts.

"Naomi" I warn.

"You won't make an exception for me?" She asks.

She rubs her fingers against me gently and grins at the sound I almost make.

"You sure?" She asks, brushing her lips against mine.

I'm just about to respond, when I hear a loud banging on my door.

What the fuck?
