After what happened in my office the other day with Craig I didn't even want to go to the dinner. I tried to call Chris and let him know but I knew he would be scusipious. So I did not even go there , the night of the dinner I decided to wear a purple peplum top and some blue true religions and my red bottoms. Courtney thought it would be nice if we went to Estelle's on Tremont street. It was a new bar and grill that opened up, Chris and I walked through the door and seen Courtney waving us to come , it was crowded but not wall to wall. I greeted Courtney and gave her a kiss and hug, I looked at Craig while he smirked at me. Chris gave him pound then we all took a seat Chris wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I tensed up to be honest I didnt know how to act around Chris after our heated kissing conversation that we had. We still talked on the phone like normal he apologized about running out on me said he had some business to attend, told hi m that it was fine. He leaned down and whispered. "Your doing it again."
"Doing what?" I asked him.
"Biting your lip, you good ma?" I didn't notice that I was doing that. I nodded my head and paid attention to what Courtney was saying.
"You two make such the cutest couple, don't they babe?"
" Yea... how long have ya'll been together?" He said scooting closer to Courtney, he wrapped his arm around her squeezing her closer and eye balling me seductively.
"Six months." I smiled and looked at Chris.
"Wow your chemistry looks like you guys been together for like ever." Courtney said. She waved the waiter down and ordered us drinks. Once we placed our orders for food we continued with our conversation.
"So Courtney you never said where you met Craig." I said. The patron and ginger ale I was drinking had me loose.
"Oh I went down south to go and visit some friends and ran into Craig at a party....he approached me and the rest.....well you know." She said looking at him then placed a kiss on his lips. I wanted to throw up right there on the table, I think that Chris could sense that I was starting to get uncomfortable. He squeezed my thigh, I looked up at him he had that glazed look since he smoked before w got there.
"Oh wow ...you know I ha a boyfriend that moved down there....do you remember him Court.?"
"Really who was he.?"
"His name sort of sounded just like Craig's, I think it was...." all of a sudden Craig kicked me under the table, I wanted to jump across it and kill him.
"Ah."
"You ok?" Chris said. He looked at me like don't do it to your self. My nose was flaring I was ready to kill I gulped the rest of my drink and ordered me another and a shot of Tequila.
"That's right Rye just like back when we were teenagers, just a bunch of wild girls." She said.
"Yea I do." I said giggling.
"So Chris what kind of work you in?"
"I am in family business." he said taking a sip of his Hennessey.
"So you sell drugs?" I nearly choked on my damn drink. I looked at Craig and he was smirking again Chris chuckled.
"Nah yo....I actually own my own club the new one that opened up Down Town.....see my father was the owner but since he is getting old in age he passed it down to me. What is it that you do a nurse right?" This time Courtney almost choked. She was tipsy, Craig looked at her and she covered her mouth.
"no."
"Oh my B nigga you just seem like a person that likes to be around shit." He laughed at his own self. "I mean in shit oh sorry...you know what I mean." I poked him, our food arrived and their was silence. Felt awkward when we were full, we sat and runk some more by that time I was almost drunk. I was touching all on Chris and he doing the same. I guess that was making Craig uncomfortable because he grabbed Courtney and locked lips. The two acted like they were in their own bedroom the way they was going. Craig stopped long enough to say "I love the way you taste, that was it I couldn't take anymore.
