27- A Bestie Date

Amber, Janiya and Yoongi said bye to each other a couple of hours ago. Parting ways after spending nearly a week together was bittersweet but no tears were shed. Long, tight hugs were plentiful though. The ladies' 50-minute flight touched down in Cleveland and because the flight was only half full deboarding was quick and easy. They made quick work of getting to baggage claim, taking their luggage and calling a Lyft to take them home. It was early afternoon, so the traffic was not bad, and they made it home before school let out.

Janiya changed into workout clothes and went to the gym while Amber decided to get some home stuff taken care of. She took out a pack of pork chops and started light preparation for their dinner. Once she had the meat in a marinade and the potatoes cut she decided frozen green beans would complete the meal, so no additional prep was needed. With her alone time, she decided to get some reading in.

Hours passed by before she was torn away from her book when Janiya entered the house and her phone rang. She threw a quick greeting to her partner then answered the phone; it was their friend Cheyenne.

"Hey Chey, what's up girl?" Niya answered with a smile in her voice.

"Hey boo, I see y'all are back home now. How was the trip?"

"It was great, we got to see our friend from Korea, ate some good food and did some shopping. It went by fast but definitely a good time."

"That's good, you sound refreshed. What are y'all up to?" Chey asked.

"Bambi went to work out and just got back home so she's about to take a shower and I am reading. Why?"

"Let's grab dinner, feels like its been ages since we spent some real time together and I miss my girls."

"I know right! Okay, that sounds good, where you want to go?" Niya placed her bookmark and closed the book.

"I'm craving Mexican like a crackhead needs crack, Senorita Bonitas?"

"Sounds good to me. Let's meet there in an hour."

"Alright, see you in a bit."

"OK. Bye" the friends end the call, and Niya stands up and stretches her body.

She went upstairs to let her partner know they now have dinner plans so Amber dressed in dark blue jeans and a pullover sweater. Janiya dressed in fleece leggings, a long-sleeved t-shirt and covers it with a long-knit cardigan. The couple leave their home thirty minutes later and make the fifteen-minute drive with Amber behind the wheel. They pull up and spot Cheyenne's car along the mostly empty back row of the parking lot and park in the spot to her right. The friends wave enthusiastically before getting out of their cars to hug.

"Hey girl!" Amber squeezes Chey in a tight hug, rocking her side to side.

"Hey babe" she squeals, leaving a kiss on her check. Their friend snatches Niya up next and greets her with the same enthusiasm. "Let's go inside, it's cold as polar bear balls out here."      

"I've been wondering where she got that silly saying from, it's you." Niya shook her head as they walked inside the restaurant.

The crowd was moderate, so they were seated immediately in a booth. Cheyenne sat across from the couple excited to see her friends. Their server introduced himself and took their drink order, each of them ordered a different flavor of margarita with additional double shots of top shelf tequila. The trio catch up on trivial things like work and family as they sip their frozen drinks and munch on the house made salsa and chips before Cheyenne ask the questions she's been dying to get an answer to for months.

"So, how was you birthday Niya? You wifey here, didn't give me a miniscule morsel of an idea of what she had planned."

"It was nice, we had dinner at Marble Room, and she bought me a bunch of gifts." She shrugged as if that night didn't change her life.

"I know you fucking lying!" she exclaimed loudly, "Sorry but that's some bull if I never heard it. You expect me to believe that she did all that secretive shit for a regular ass dinner with some gifts? Y'all hos lying like a motherfucker."

Amber shook her head, laughing at their best friend and sipped her drink before saying, "You know she don't like celebrating so I had to be sneaky just in case. Lesson learned from last time I tried to do something big and it backfired."

"Wow, I can't believe you're both standing ten toes on this," she hummed and scooped the red sauce onto the warm chip and stuffed the whole thing in her mouth.

"We not lying Chey. That's really all I had planned."

"So why Dante tell me y'all had the guest room all made up like you was expecting somebody?" she asked, momentarily stunning them both into silence. "Yeah, that's what I thought" Chey smirked.

"Ugh Dante!" Amber groaned. The server arrived with their food, and they all got situated before continuing the conversation. "Okay, yes we did have guests come into town-"

"Who was it?" she asked, cutting Amber off mid-sentence. The couple shared a look.

"You won't believe me; I promise you won't but if you really want to know I'll tell you." Janiya said, knowing she was about to knock Cheyenne's figurative socks off.

"Lay it on me."

Amber and Janiya lean in, urging Chey to do the same then they both told her what happened that night. Just as they'd told her she didn't believe a word they said until they showed her pictures of them all hanging out and even with proof she still had a hard time believing all of it.

"So, you mean to tell that Amber's birthday was the catalyst for y'all becoming friends with and long-distance girlfriends of one of the most famous K-pop groups in history. Not only did you meet and hang out with them, four of them traveled across the fucking globe to fuck you," she pointed to Niya. "and you," now pointing at Amber " were not only okay with it, but organized the whole damn thing."

"Only one of them was supposed to have sex with her but pretty much, yeah." Amber admitted scooping beans and rice into her mouth.

"Wow. Woooooow. Fucking wow!" Cheyenne was truly and utterly stunned.

"We tried to tell you it sounds unbelievable as fuck." Amber smirked.

"I think we broke her." Janiya giggled then took a bite from her taco. About two minutes ticked by before Chey spoke again.

"Y'all some freak nasty hos." All three of them broke out into a fit of laughter. "I can't even hate on it though. I'm just surprised Niya took dick and liked it enough to take a few more, congrats girl."

"Thanks? I think."

The three of them finished up dinner and shared churros and fried ice cream for dessert. Cheyenne parted ways after the meal was finished and when her little boo called her to come over to his house. They made plans to get together again soon for a proper night out.

Once making it home, Niya and Amber climbed int bed and cuddled with one another until they were asleep after a long day.

💛Lola's Note: Umm, hi.
