"You forgot dessert?" Essence angrily does the dishes as Emilio and I stand beside her innocently.

"I'm sorry we were a little late and rushing, I must have made him forget-" I immediately go to defend Emilio even though I wasn't even aware he was supposed to bring anything. Emilio on the other hand looks unfazed by the whole thing not even bothering to defend his case.

"Oh he didn't forget, he's been doing it every Sunday for years." She places her last plate down and turns to fully look at her brother. "Well go get it," she demands waving him off with her wet hands.

"You can't be serious," Emilio narrows his eyes before Killian walks right behind Essence and kisses her cheeks into a smile. "I'm bringing Davina-"

"No you don't-" Essence is quick to shrug off her husband and snatch my arm. "Take him." She shoves the man into Emilio who gives her an unserious look. Killian's mouth is agape as he gives Emilio a look of  betrayal "I have some more chatting to do with Davina here."

"Look what you got us caught up in," Killian pushes Emilio's arm before grabbing his keys from the counter and leaving the kitchen. "I'm driving." My brow raises at the lack of disagreement between Essence and Killian. He didn't even hesitate to listen to her.

"Be nice," Emilio demands of Essence before leaning down to peck my lips. "I love you, I'll be back in ten minutes don't let her chat your ears off." I snort out a laugh and push Emilio's chest from my body with an eye roll.

"You'd do that before she does." I tease, "Love youu," I sing at his depressed retracting figure. But not being able to help it he smiles widely before placing a kiss to his finger tips and waving.  I do the same but blow my kiss his way with a chuckle. As he drags his feet across the kitchen towards the door another scatters towards Essence's side.

The moment the door closes Brianna is next to Essence, both with large toothy grins, they start to chuckle like children who have just seen two people kiss for the very first time. I raise a brow at their odd behaviour before laughing awkwardly to ease the sudden nerves.

"Love?" Oh!

"Oh yeah,"

"You say as if it's information to keep from us lightly," Essence says and just as I'm about to open my mouth she raises her hand to stop me. "This calls for wine," Brianna is already on her trail towards the half drunk bottle on the table.

"You read my mind Ess," Brianna says swirling the bottle. Essence grabs two wine glasses and settles them down beside her half empty one allowing Brianna to fill them all halfway.

"Now we're ready." Essence hops onto the counter swaying her legs and sipping on her wine ready for the scoop in on Emilio and I's relationship. Brianna tops her drink off having it nearly filled to the rim before sitting next to her with a childish grin.

"I can't believe you guys," I laugh them off and sit on a stool at the island that separates us. I take a sip from my wine glass which turns into a large gulp at the thought about what exactly I was going to say.

Were we dating? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Or just friends who loved each other.

"I don't know what to say exactly."

"Who said it first?" Where was it? Are you to together now?" Essence starts to question.

"Did you to fuck? How was he?" Brianna is next to question me but only now I choke on my wine from how unfiltered she was.

"Ew Bri-" Essence whacks Brianna's arm.

"I'm asking the important questions here."

"Uhm-" I clear my throat now trailing my finger across the rim of my glass, watching the dark liquid, I start to spew "well it was when I met his grandma, he took me to the beach where we basically hung out for the first time alone," they give each other side glances. Oh right, they think I went with them for my first time at the beach. I change the subject. "He said it first."
