Alya POV"Tyler hurry up I'm hungry" I said on the phone with Tyler getting dressed. "Girl you better stop rushing me I know that much" he said
"If I'm ready before you get here I'm going to try the new place without you" I said. Today me and Tyler going to try this place that just opened up if he would hurry up.
"How it's supposed to be a date if you gone leave me" he said. Yea you heard right it's a date. Ever since that night we've taken our friendship to another level. Slowly though.
"I'm putting on my shoes man" I said "I'm pulling up so nice try" he said. I stand up walking to the door opening it to see Tyler right there.
"Damn" Tyler said making me look away. "You wearing that to the opening to?" He asked "yea" I said "but your feet gone start hurting get some extra shoes just in case" he said
"Ok hold on" I said walking to the room grabbing my slides. I walked to the door grabbing his hand and walking out. "Hurry I gotta be at the shop at 2:30pm"
"What I say" he said from behind me. "Shut up" I said as he open my door. "We got time" he said smacking my butt. "Boyyy keep your hands to your self" I said sitting down.
"They way you looking I don't know if I can" he said licking his lips and closing the door. He better stop right now. He get in the car backing up. "You was starving me T bear like my stomach touching my back" I pouted.
"You a big ass baby" he said grabbing my face and kissing me at the stop sign. I smiled and leaned back looking out the window.
After about 15 minutes we pulled up to the place. "It look nice as hell" Tyler parking and getting out. "Bring your ass" Tyler said opening my door. " no need to be rude" I said stepping out the car.
"You the one that was rushing me" He said. We walk in seeing the hostess. "How many" she asked looking at Tyler "2" I said
"Oh Umm right this way" she said snapping out of whatever world she was in making me roll my eyes. What's up with females and eye raping dudes when someone with them. Tyler must have noticed my irritation because he put his arm around me and gave me a quick kiss.
I smiled and followed the hostess to the table. "Your waiter should be right with you" she said walking away. We sat down picking up the menus. "These are nice" I said looking at the clipboard menus. "Clipboards always make me feel like a teacher" I said
"You a sexy ass teacher" Tyler said making me look up to him to see him already staring at me making me close my legs and him chuckle. I clear my throat "Umm what you finna order" I asked looking at the menu.
"I don't know what you want" he said and I can tell he was looking at me "I think ima get a bacon cheeseburger " I said finally looking at him. "Cool imma get a melt" he said
"Hi I'm your Waiter Jordan I can start you off with some drinks" the waiter said "lemme get a water and a strawberry lemonade" I said as he write it down. "Is that all" he asked "actually we ready to order to" I said. "I want a bacon cheeseburger" I said looking at Tyler "and lemme get a melt" he said.
"Ok I'll put it in" he said walking away. "How you know I want a strawberry lemonade" Tyler asked looking at me "because that's all you drink when we go places" I said laughing.
"Oh you think you know me" he said "I don't think I know I know you" I said.
"Here are your drinks your food should be ready shortly" the waiter said walking away.

"Right on time" I said getting up from the table. "Exactly so I don't know why you was rushing me" Tyler said throwing his hand over my shoulder.We get in the car making our way to the shop I'm honestly so excited. "You over there bouncing calm down" Tyler said grabbing my legs to stop it from bouncing. "Whattt I'm nervous" I said
We finally pulled up to the shop I see Kim and Sincere and other workers by the door. I walk up saying hey and unlocked the door. "Ok so y'all pick your stations I called the first one on the left but the rest is fair game and get set up then come to the front" I said going to set up my station.
"Ohh I almost forgot it's aprons in the back with your names on them at the top" I said putting mine on. I walk to the front to see Tyler putting the ribbon on. "I always wanted to use big scissors" I said grabbing them. "Don't cut me now" he said as I set up drink and finger food.
After 30 minutes there was a big crowd as all the hair styles stand in the front. Tyler pass me a mic. "Hey Everybody I'm Alya and this is my shop and imma try to keep it short.
