Like she had expected, Taco Tuesday was in full effect at the bar. R&B music played through the speakers as the four women made it to their table. Glad that she decided to make reservations a week before, she smiled at the perfect spot they were seated in.
"You look good tonight ms thang, courtesy of me of course" Carmen joked as she touched Denver's curls
She laughed "Thank you baby, so do you!"
Carmen stood at five feet and four inches tall, her caramel kissed skin glowed under the lights of the bar. She sported a red halter top and bodycon skirt two-piece, a pair of clear and red heels clad her feet and a simple red wristlet occupied her wrist. Her locs were freshly retwisted and rested in two cute butterfly buns on her head. A pair of cute diamond studs sparkled in her ear, and a simple "C" charm necklace rested around her neck.
The pair sat comfortable as they waited on Raven and Lexa, the two were always on CP time and everyone was used to it by now.
"God I need a drink, it's been a long day" Carmed sighed as she scanned the QR code with her phone to pull up the menu. Denver didn't know why she was looking at the menu and she got the same thing every time they came. The Shooter was Carmen's favorite, it was a flight of four lemon drop shooters and she loved each one. Denver always got their 4th & 1 drink, and a few shots of Don Julio.
Just as the waitress came over to get drink orders, Lexa and Raven came walking in at the same time. Talking amongst themselves as the worker escorted them to their table, Denver was glad to see that Raven still decided to dress up even with everything going on with her. She wore a bright orange, ruched backless dress and a pair of leopard print heels. Her purse matched her shoes and gold jewelry occupied her neck, ears and wrists. Her long, thick hair had been silk pressed to the Gods, and she wore it in a middle part.
Lexa stood at five feet and seven inches in her heels, her thick legs and thighs rubbed together slightly. A black crop top that tied in the front, along with the matching shorts covered her body. Black, strappy chunky heels were on her feet and a simple black purse was over her shoulder. Her red hair stole the show as it lay on her dark chocolate skin, she rocked red hair for as long as Denver could remember, and she pulled it off really well.
"Hey bitches" Lexa said once she sat down "yall look good per usual"
After greeting were exchanged, they began putting in their drink orders. Everyone ordered their own personal best, Raven ordered a soda, and Denver asked for water for the table.
"Bitch, a coke?" Lexa asked
"Yes bitch a coke, everybody isn't a drunk like you ya know?" Raven joked back
She still was getting used to the fact that in just six months, she would be someone's mother. She was glad that Denver had invited her out tonight, she needed a pick me up and reruns of Martin just wasn't doing the job. She had taken a few days off of work, and Denver had no problem with it. She knew there would be some things that Raven had to sort out, she didn't want that to be done on the clock and Raven understood that.
"I know thats right" Carmen said as laughed along
"We have our nights out to let loose and let our hair down, and you doing it with a coke? I'm about to tell her to bring you a shot of rum to go with it" Lexa continued
"I would rather not give my baby Fetal Alcohol Syndrome so ill pass on the rum you heffa"
Both Lexa and Carmen wore the same shocked facial expressions. Raven had just casually dropped on bomb on the friend group, and they weren't prepared at all.
