His hands picked up the box and moved to its rightful place, assigning a few customers in the auto repair shop, his fake smile while showing off his dimples right on cue, sitting in the chair in front of the table with his other coworkers in the break room.

"There's this new black owned lgbt+ bar that opened and I wondering if any of you wanted to come by." Genesis asked them in nervously, biting down on her lips.

Tyquian, Devin, Michelle, Alicia, Mona, and Hayden exchanged looks before nodding in agreement, "I'm definitely coming.." Mona agreed with a smile.

"Honestly, I deserve a drink after a long day anyway." Hayden chimed in, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah, I could use a drink tonight!" Michele explained, smirking devilishly.

He was still worried about him, he heard rumors about Taurus's fightclub getting broken into. There was no more money in the safe and no more people coming in. His business was dead and long gone, Kareem even dumped him.

"Obviously, it's gonna be you since you don't drink anymore." Mona sang playfully, nudging him on the shoulder.

Tyqiuain rolled his eyes at the brown-skinned woman, knowing that she was right.

"Okay, fine. But guess that means I'm the designated driver for the night."  he chuckled, shrugging his shoulders.

"This is why we love you!"
