𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐡 sat on the floor in front of her mirror and tried to reapply this lash that has been getting on her damn nerves all day. Sometimes she regrets switching to lash clusters but she didn't feel like always going to a lash tech.
"Girl lemme help you out" Noel said walking into the room, and Raniyah didn't put up any fight, and walking to Noel. "You know your ass can't put on lashes. I don't even see why you tried" Noel laughed as Raniyah pouted.
" What time we leaving out to go to dinner" Raniyah asked as she was looking for a purse to wear.
" Well I have to go drop off something for my mom all the way across town before I go to the dinner, and I know you hungry and I don't want to hold you up going to eat so I'll just meet you there" Noel explained.
" Well is anyone going to be there because I don't want to be there by myself and did anyone make dinner reservations or I got to do all that when I get there" Raniyah asked and she was putting on her shoes.
" Yea somebody gonna be there and they did all that already so all you have to do is show up and tell them the name Soriya" Noel explained putting on her shoes.

The Restaurant.Raniyah pulled up to the restaurant Noel gave her and her nerves grew stronger scared no one was going to be there .
She looked around the restaurant, and it wasn't as crowded. She went to the booth the host told her to go to and Soriya was there with her head down into her phone.
"Hey Riya " the waitress greeted Soriya, Riya??? Raniyah questioned in her head. So do you work here?" Raniyah asked suddenly. Soriya chuckled as she slid into the booth. "I don't. This is a family friend's place, and I come here often so I know some people" she replied and this made Raniyah nod.
"Lemme get my usual, thank you" Soriya told the waitress, making her nod, write then look at Raniyah. "I want a New York strip steak cooked Medium well with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Thank you" the waitress nodded, took the menus from them then left.
"Does everyone just call you Riya?" Raniyah asked very bluntly, then regretted it. "I- I'm sorry, that was rude" Raniyah apologized, but Soriya just smiled, she didn't take offense to it. "You good baby" she licked her lips and Avi'anna nodded, "No just some people im cool with" Soriya said and Raniyah nodded.
"Here y'all go" the waitress came back, setting down their food. "Thank you" they both replied in sync, making them and the waitress smile.
Raniyah looked at Soriya's food, and it was never she's seen before. "What is that?" She asked " Healthy Garlic Parmesan Alfredo" Soriya replied and Raniyah eyed it some more, "it looks good. You're vegan?" She asked and Soriya shook her head as she chewed, when she was done she answered "no. I'm vegetarian" Raniyah eyed it again then nodded, kinda surprised. She's never really hung out with a vegetarian person.
"Why you say it like that? It's hard to believe a girl like me is vegetarian?" Soriya asked, raising an eyebrow. "What? Uh I-" "I'm kidding" Soriya laughed "most people are surprised, I like to think I'm one of a kind" Soriya smiled, flipping her hair. She sure is, she's so pretty, Raniyah thought.
"I have a question, and you don't have to answer if it's overstepping, but can I ask why do you seem so nervous ?" Soriya asked the question that Raniyah hoped she wouldn't.
"I don't know really, you are so pretty and it makes me nervous" Raniyah responses in a more quiet tone, Stoney smirked.
"It's no need to be nervous You're beautiful and that outfit looks amazing on you" Soriya smiled.
" Thank you" Raniyah said blushing while eating her food
"I'm not complementing you because you complemented me. I really do think you're beautiful and if anyone makes you feel differently than they need their eyes checked" Soriya replied, shrugging.
"You don't even know me" Raniyah said in a questioning manner
"I can get to know you plus, I don't need to know you in order to know your beauty" Soriya said
The rest of the dinner was silent, which wasn't really long, not more than 10 minutes before the other came strolling in.
" Oh I see y'all just got to eating without us I see how it is" Javion said shaking his head sitting down with Malaysia, Noel.
" I don't even blame y'all I'm hungry as a shit" Malaysia said , making the whole table bust out in laughter.

As everyone continued having conversations Raniyah noticed it get later and later, and knowing she has an early morning appointment tomorrow while then waiter came by she asked for her check.
"Raniyah you leaving" Noel asked looking at Raniyah as she looked to be grabbing her purse.
" Yea I have an early morning appointment tmr and I need to get enough rest before doing so so I'm just gonna leave now" Raniyah responded handing her card to the waiter.
" Oh yea I forgot about that" Noel responsed hugging Raniyah as she got out of her seat gathering her things.
Grabbing her card from the waiter she said her goodbyes and walked towards the exit into her car but before she could reach her car she heard someone behind her.
" I don't want to be weird or anything but can I get your number?" Soriya asked, looking nervous that Raniyah might say no. Raniyah laughed, " yeah of course" as she put her number into Soriya's phone.
"I had a great time with you, good night" Soriya said as she slowly backed away, "same here...good night" Raniyah said as she got in her car and soon drove away. Soriya smirked, then walked back into the restaurant.
