Where I Belong

Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend

"Ya ready baby?" I called after spirtzing purfume on my chest.

"Yeah... Yeah I am!" Ri said behind me. I turned in time to see her puckering in the mirror.

I walked up behind her and rested my head on her shoulder, "If you wanted to kiss someone you can just kiss me."

Rihanna grinned in the mirror as our eyes locked, and she turned her head and kissed me. We were both smiling during the kiss, so it was really just our teeth clashing.

"C'mon, I think I heard someone ring the doorbell." I said, taking her hand in mine.

We walked hand in hand, down the hallway, and down the stairs. Mama Fenty was opening up the door as we waited behind her to greet whomever it was.

"Oscar! Naomi! 'Ow've ya been?" Mama Fenty grinned.

"Good, good! We've been good!" Naomi grinned, hugging Mama Fenty. 

"Listen- thank ya so much for pickin' up tha' girls at the airport, Osca!" Mama Fenty grinned, hugging the man who I recognized.

"Monica, Monica! It's not worries!" he grinned.

"Ah, there she is!" Naomi grinned, scooting behind Mama Fenty. "Miss Robyn! Ya grown up now!"

Rihanna grinned, letting go of my hand to hug Oscar's wife, "Naomi! You look incredible!" They embraced in a hug and Naomi said how she was glad the superstar had time to visit home.

"I'll always have time to visit Barbados!" Rihanna grinned, placing her hand on her arm. "Oh, and Naomi, this is Nikki. My girlfriend."

"Girlfrien?" she cocked her head at Ri, eyebrows raised. She then turned to me and smiled, understanding, "Well helllllllllo, Miss Nikki! 'Ow ya likin' Barbados, love?"

She hugged me and let me go. I smiled at her, "The island's just incredible."

"You bet it dis!" she laughed. She brushed her long brown hair behind her. "Now! Where ma' boys?"

"They be in the kitchen with Dolly!" Mama Fenty answered, shutting the door.

We all followed Naomi and Oscar into the kitchen.

The party started at 7:30, but more and more people kept arriving. It was already 11, and we had planned to sneak out by 11:30.

I was nestled in between Rihanna and Melissa, who has shown up around 8 with her parents, Angel, and Angel's parents.

"Aren't we tryin' to leave in a half hour?" Melissa said quietly.

"Das tha' plan!" Rihanna said.

We were hanging out in a corner of the living room, and Rory and Angel approached us.

"Rory you look great! Now where's your sister?" he mocked.

"Oh, don't be jealous Ror Ror." Rihanna laughed, taking his jaw in her hand.

"Hardly!" Rory laughed, swiping his sister's hand away. "So we ditchin' this place or what? You've said hi to everyone by now, right?"

"Ya'd think so." Rihanna murmured.

"So let's go change and ditch dis place. Mama'll never notice!" he suggested.

Rihanna looked around- for her mother, presumeably- and couldn't find her. "Okay, okay, let's go!"

We all slowly made our way towards the stairs, and one at a time went up.

When we all had made it up into our bedroom, which seemed to be the meeting spot, Rihanna snuck up behind me and wrapped her hands around my waist. She dropped her voice and whispered, "Wear anotha dress out tonight. Forget tha' thong again."
