Die For It

Chapter 11

"I'm hosting my birthday party here this weekend, I better see you here." Sheila said as we walked alongside of each other. She sat her drinks down at the table she was serving and I sat mine down at the table I was serving.

"As long as you want me here as a guest and not to serve y'all." I joked

She chuckled, "Girl, of course!"

"You should have Draya serve though." I teased

"That's if she ever comes back to work." She replied

"Oh! And invite your brother, wit' his fine ass." Sheila added

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not talkin' to him right now to even make that happen."

She raised her eyebrows, "What why not?"

"A lot of shit. But as of now, Jazzy is available." I said

"I'll take her pretty ass too. She has the best personality, she'll turn all of us up." Sheila replied

I laughed, "Girl, her ass recently had one arm, she needs to take it easy. But I'll still invite her."

"You know I like her anyway." She said,
smirking.

I giggled, "Oh my gosh."

"You know she like me too." She replied

Manny walked up, "Not more than me." He said

"Where you come from? You usually behind the bar." I said

He smiled, "Kae wanted me to walk the floors and 'interact with people more', as if me filling up the glasses of the drunk muthafucka's that come to the bar ain't enough interaction." He said, slightly rolling his eyes

"Oh, you callin' her Kae already? Secondly, she already fuckin' up our routine." Sheila said

"That's her name, ain't it? It's what she told me when she introduced herself."

"No, it's Kahuna, she said Kae was for short." Sheila replied

I burst out in laughter, "What was it the other day? Kalamazoo? Now it's Kahuna, I can't with you, Sheila."

Manny laughed as well, "Yall asses some trips, let me get back to mixing and mingling."

"Matter of fact, you need to make yo' way to the bar. I need these bottles refilled." I said, passing over the tray.

"You lucky you lil' sis, otherwise I'd tell yo' ass hell naw."

"I'm older than you, nigga." I said

"Well I'm older than both of y'all, so refill big sis tray too." Sheila said, passing it to Manny.

He grabbed the tray from Sheila, "I'm 26, and you about to be...25 in two months." He replied

I chuckled, "Forgot you been coming to my birthday celebrations for years."

"And I also got yo' early ass invitation that you sent out in that group text last week." He replied

I shook my head. I'm big on planning ahead, therefore I plan my birthday events one to two months ahead and give everyone I want invited an early notice.

"I'm extra, I like people to know in advance."

"I should start doing what you do, I'm so last minute you lucky you found out about my birthday celebration today 'cause messing with me, I'll tell people a day ahead." Sheila laughed

I laughed, "Girl you are—"

"Hey, how's it going?" Kae asked with a smile plastered on her face, walking closer to Sheila and I.
