LUXURY

Downhill

Two weeks later ...

Lights were flashing, bottles were popping, and Desire’s music was blaring throughout the club, where the hottest celebrities and other important people had turned up for Desire’s album-release party. The crowd was going crazy.

“Wassup wit y’all, Miami?” the DJ yelled over the mic. “Y’all deep in this bitch tonight. DJ Triton in the building. The moment y’all been waiting fa is here. Give it up for Desire.”

Desire grabbed the mic and said, “I want to thank everyone for coming out to show me love. I’ve worked hard on this album. Thanks to my niggas, the Monnahan Boyz, for treating me like a li’l sis. Those are my brothers for life. To my baby, Luxury, for being my boo and making this rap shit happen for me. This has been a crazy year, but I’m pushing strong.” She paused, and the crowd howled and clapped. “I hope y’all enjoy the album.”

I nodded my head at her. I had yet to tell her the paternity news, but I figured that shit could wait until the right time. I had made sure to make the child-support situation cool with the baby mama, Charity.

I took down another gulp of the thick purple liquid that Lavish had poured into my cup. I wasn’t big on Lean, but this shit had me feeling right. I dizzily checked my phone and saw that Charity had thanked me for the money. I didn’t respond.

“Luxury, baby, you might want to slow down on that shit,” Desire whispered in my ear, trying to take the red cup out of my hand.

“I’m cool. Stop.” I pulled the cup away, stumbling back.

“You’re high as fuck. Maybe we should go home.” She grabbed my wrist and pulled to try to get me to sit down.

“Hold up, baby. Tonight’s your night. This is your album-release party. I ain’t going nowhere. All these people are here for you.”

The club was packed now, and the loud trap music was blaring through the speakers. The song that was playing sounded too damn good.

Desire gave me the cutest little worried look. I pulled her into my arms and whispered in her ear, “You know I love the fuck out of you, right?”

“I know that. I love you too.”

My baby meant the world to me. A second later, my phone was buzzing, and so was hers. She pulled out her phone and stared at her Twitter. I looked at mine. I kept seeing all these tweets about my baby mama and how I had a baby I wasn’t claiming. Fuck. I looked up and gazed at Desire’s face, hoping her phone wasn’t going off for the same reason.

“What the fuck! What is this, Luxury?” she shouted.

“Baby, I can explain.”

“You know about this? Did you take a paternity test?”

I nodded. “I got the results two weeks ago.”

“Two weeks ago? Oh, wow.” She stormed out of the VIP area.

Frill scowled at me. “What’s up with Desire?”

I didn’t respond as I tried my best to follow her. I was so fucked up, I could hardly steady my steps.
