telling
the truth. Choice just wasn’t sure what he wasn’t telling the truth about.
Ashley put her hand up to her mouth to cover her yawn before
taking the weed from Mark.
“You’re used to having a bedtime. If you want, maybe after
we eat I can take you back to your place. You and I could break that cycle
together because you’re not going to sleep anytime soon.
With her eyes lowered, Ashley looked at him as if he grew
two heads. Did he just flirt with her? Did he forget that she had dated Petey
or the fact that he and Petey used to be friends? Well, she hadn’t forgotten.
“You’re real fresh tonight with that mouth. You coming back
to my place will not be happening,” Ashley stated. Her high immediately faded
when she thought about being intimate with Mark. Now she was ready to go.
“I’m going to chalk up what you just said to me on being too
high,” Ashley answered. . She looked away from him then over at Choice and Rio
who were engaging in their own conversation.
“I’m getting tired. Y’all ready to leave and hit up
Denny’s?” Choice spoke. .
“Yeah, let’s do that,” Rio responded as he took his phone
out to look in see who was calling him. He sent the person to voicemail.
“Buddy and Willie are downstairs. I’ll go see if they’re
trying to roll with us or not,” Rio remarked as stood up. He took out five
hundred dollars and left it on the table.
“Don’t take all day because we’re hungry and tired,” Choice
huffed. .
Rio nodded his head. “Bossy ass. We’ll be there. If we get
there too late and the two of you are gone, we’ll know that y’all went back to
Ashley’s spot. If that does happen, make sure to call or text me so I’ll know
that you two made it to her place safely.”
“Okay,” Choice replied as she and Ashley stood up and walked
away.

Ashley and Choice sat alone in the booth at Denny’s. They
had been there for twenty minutes and the guys still hadn’t shown up. There
were so many people at the restaurant that it looked like it was three o’clock
in the afternoon instead of three o’clock in the morning.
“Girl, these niggas are taking forever,” Ashley scoffed as
she picked up her menu to look it over. “Fuck this shit; I’m about to order.
I’m too hungry to be sitting here waiting on their asses to get here.”
Choice looked over at the door to see if she saw them. “I
don’t see them so fuck it; let’s order.” She said as she waved the waiter over
to their table. Choice and Ashley placed their orders before continuing their
conversation. .
“Girl, I miss my boo. It’s going to be so weird not sleeping
next to him tonight,” Choice sighed after the waitress left with their orders.
“I’m sure he misses you too.”
“I bet Legend is running him crazy.” Fifteen minutes passed
before the waiter was bringing out their food.
Choice took out her phone to call Supreme and to tell him
about her day. She wanted to tell him that Mark was back in Miami but she would
wait until she got home to tell him that bit of information. As soon as she
hung up, Rio, Mark, and Willie walked in and joined the girls in the booth.
“Damn! Y’all were that hungry that you couldn’t wait for
us?” Mark asked. .
“Hey, we told y’all we were hungry it’s been like twenty
minutes. Ashley responded as she took a bite of her omelet.
“Ashley when I saw you in the club I didn’t even know that
was you,” Willie laughed.
“I’m sure you didn’t, Willie. The last time I saw you was
five years ago. You were a baby,” she stated with a chuckle.
“A baby? Fuck out of here! I was grown then and I’m grown
now,” Willie sneered with an attitude. I always wanted to know there really
girl on girl action in there? With a scowl on her face, Ashley rolled her eyes
at him.
“Ashley, how do you like your place?” Rio asked.
“I love it! I can’t believe it’s mine. Choice and Supreme
did a good job picking everything out. The two of them
