Imani Taylor

Making our way inside the restuarant, I hear laughter and people conversating with one another. Once we finally make our way to our section of the restuarant, I see my famliy and friends. I glance over to Devin to only see him smiling warmly at me and holding his hand out for me grab. Devin brings me over to meet some of his colleagues. Devin introduced to one of his colleagues that I've never met before.

" Hey, Jordan I want you to meet my fiance Imani ".

Jordan turns to us and smiles widely at us, he holds out his right hand for me to shake and turns to hug Devin.

"  How you doing, it's nice to meet you Imani finally I get to meet the women who sweeped this fool off his feet".

" HaHa it's nice to finally meet you as well ". Once I get done stating that I start to look around the room and  I see Summer sitting at the table alone on her phone.

I turn back to them " Hey I see a friend, it was really nice to meet you Jordan" . Devin glances behind and laughs

" Tell Summer monkey ass to come over I want her to meet Jordan". Devin bends down to whisper in my ears.

" Maybe finally we can finally have her hook up with someone to get that big ass stick out her ass."

Shaking my head at his smart remarks and give him a stern warning about talking about my Bestfriend.

"Don't talk about her." I said making my way to the table Summer sitting at by her lonely.

As I approach the table, that Ms. Summer was stationed at. I clear my throat playfully to get her attention.

"Hey, Ms. Thing." I said making her glance up from her phone she was currently glued on and up at me.

Both sharing a warm smile, summer smile was warm as her name.

"Hey, my name is not Ms. Thing. Heffa, it's Summer." She said putting her Chanel purse on her lap and rolling her eyes at playfully.

" Devin wants you to come over to meet his friend Jordan." I said She looks around me and frowned looking Jordan up and down.

I shook my head smiling at her. " Girl get up and stop being antisocial and come over." I said.

" Why I gotta get up out my seat to see milk dud and his goon." She said raising a brow frowning even more.

I laughed at her antics. " Come on girl just come over it ain't gonna kill you and be nice he seems like he's a good guy." I said all she did was look at me and sighed.

" Okay fine I'm coming." She said.

"He better be talking nice to me." She said stunting her way over there putting her purse on her shoulder.

"You have to talk nice to him first."

As the night evening keeping go on.

The energy in the room was amazing nothing but great vibes.

Devin and I broke apart as couple to talk to other guests in our engagement dinner.

"Y'all going make a beautiful bride and groom. "

"Thank you." We both said unison at the older couple that was invited by Devin's parents.

Devin pulled me closer to him as I glanced up at with a sweet smile.
