OMARI

18: OMARI

"Ayy, look who showed up!" Luca cheered.
"Wassup, whassgood," Omari grinned, dapping up his homeboys.

Sean looked up and dapped him as well, trying not to look put off. It wasn't news to everyone that Omari was doing well, and for Sean he had a feeling part of it had to do with Yandi.

Yes, he was still pressed by the fact that she turned him down and he wanted a shot, but it only made him envy Omari the more because he was always— always getting the ladies. But besides that, he hated that he wanted to be somewhat serious in his pursuit of Yandi, he obviously felt Omari was just in it to play around and not settle down. To Sean, Yandi was worth building.

"You good man?" Omari asked Sean, noticing he was off.
"Yeah I'm straight. What's been going on with you?" He tried to smile.
"Ay, Omari has been taking trips," Malik remarked, sitting down with them.

They were currently at an open air restaurant, catching up and Omari decided to stop by before heading to help Laurie at the house.

"It was one time!" Omari replied, sucking his teeth.
"We see you," Zion chuckled, shoving Omari playfully.
"Steady trying to secure the bag," Omari shrugged.
"Do you still talk to the hun from Accra?" Zion asked.
"Loni?"
"Or was it ... yeah her,"
"There's Yandi too," Malik smirked. "Y'all still...?"

Sean turned his attention to Omari waiting for his response. If he denied it surely meant they were still seeing each other. He didn't want to bring up the fact that he did meet her in town recently, that was nobody's business but his.

"Y'all are nosy as hell. Where are your girls? I don't see you guys introducing them to the rest of us," Omari said with an attitude.
"Come on man, you're not going to tell us anything about your vacay bae?" Sean joked.
"Nah, infact we need to talk about how you were MIA, let's talk about that!"

"True," Luca mumbled.
"Ay, I had business to handle," Sean said in defense.
"What bum ass business were you up to in a country you had never been to?" Zion snapped.
"He-ey, the man had business!" Malik teased, motioning his crotch.
"Had to pipe down,"

"Y'all are weird," Omari chuckled.
"So you're not saying anything?" Zion asked Sean.
"Hell no," Sean spat.
"Ay, let's let him be, you know? Maybe this one is different and he wants to wait a little for the right time to introduce the lady to us," Omari explained.
"Oh like the way you did with Yandi, huh?" Malik smirked, "Luca you should be taking notes 'cause you're next."

They all burst into laughter, with the exception of Sean of course.

Just then, Omari's phone buzzed in his pocket and he reached for it, looking at the message.

New Message
Yandieee: Leaving work early... again. Pick me up? Please 😘?

He smiled down at his phone, knowing he'd get to see Yandi since she had spent the night at his place and he had dropped her off at work earlier that day.
He typed in his response, oblivious to Sean glancing over and catching his conversation with Yandi.

Sean sat there, clenching his jaw before turning to the rest of the boys as they were in conversation over other random things outside relationships.

"Mates, I got to go. But it was great seeing y'all after so long," Omari stood, dapping them up.
"So soon, where you headed to man?" Sean smirked.
"Handling business," Omari said all smiles, before walking off to his car.
