“Move around nigga! The bathroom is occupied!” Landon yelled out to whoever was trying to come in.

Faryn giggled as she finished using the bathroom and used her heeled foot to flush the toilet. She saw that Landon was still standing guard by the door with his muscular arms folded across his chest.

“Thank you so much Landon. I really appreciate this,” Faryn said as she washed her hands. She felt so relieved and she was done drinking for the night.

“No problem. You look like you really had to go.” Landon smiled.

“You have no idea. I’m ready to go from here period,” Faryn replied, referring to the club.

“Shit, I don’t even know why I came. I let my uncle talk me into this shit and I’m not even feeling it,” Landon replied.

He and Faryn walked out of the bathroom together as people stared at them and whispered. Faryn didn’t give a fuck and, apparently, neither did Landon. They continued with their conversation like it was nothing.

“I let my friend talk me into coming and she drove. Now, I have to wait until she’s ready to leave,” Faryn said.

“No, you don’t. I can bring you home,” Landon offered.

“No Landon, it’s okay. I don’t want to rush you. That’s what I get for riding with someone else,” Faryn replied.

“You’re not rushing me. I’m leaving if I take you home or not. The club scene just ain’t my thing,” Landon admitted.

“Mine either,” Faryn agreed.

“Cool, let’s get up out of here then,” he suggested.

“You don’t have to tell me twice. Just let me get my phone and purse and tell my girl that I’m leaving. I can meet you out front,” Faryn said.

“Okay, I’ll be out there,” Landon said, right as Aiden was walking over to him.

“That bitch is fine. Who is that?” Aiden asked as he watched Faryn walk away.

“Stop calling every female you see a bitch,” Landon scolded.

“Nigga, I’m the uncle and you better not forget that shit. You and that nigga Raheem better get y’all mind right,” Aiden replied while pointing an unsteady finger in Landon’s face.

Aiden was tipsy, and Landon knew that he was just getting started. Raheem was there with him, so Landon knew that he would be okay. Raheem drove, and Aiden was probably going to stay the night at his house.

“I hear you, bruh, but I’m getting out of here,” Landon informed him.

“What! We just got here a few hours ago nephew,” Aiden replied.

“I know, but I have to bring Faryn home,” Landon said.

“Who the fuck is Ferret?” Aiden slurred.

“Faryn bruh, the chick that I was just walking with,” Landon answered.

“Oh shit, the fine one. Yeah nigga, you move fast like a muthafucker. Just like your uncle. You finally bout to get some pussy!” Aiden yelled excitedly.

“Bye bruh. I’ll call you tomorrow,” Landon replied as he walked away and headed for the exit.

He waited for about five minutes before Faryn came out and joined him. They both walked to his black G-Wagon and got in. Faryn smiled when he opened the door for her because that had never happened before. Even when they got to her house, Landon got out of the car and walked her to her front door.

“Thank you so much Landon. You were a lifesaver tonight.” Faryn smiled.

“No problem. Maybe you can return the favor one day,” Landon replied, making Faryn look at him sideways for a second.

She didn’t want to believe that Landon was that type. He didn’t look like the kind of man who expected something from a woman at the end of the night. It wasn’t like he and Faryn were on a date. He gave her a ride home and she would be happy to give him gas money.
