It's Now Or Never: Book Two

The Bird's Ecstasy

Kris opened the door for Kastynn to Applebee's where they would be having lunch with Krissy and her best friend Netty.

Netty has been in the family going on ten years. She's lovable, sweet, and fun to be around.

Since recently her and her girlfriend, Tyshian, broke up Krissy has been trying effortlessly to lift up Netty's low spirits.

What better way to do that than to take her to her favorite restaurant for lunch, and to invite her childhood crush along as well? Krissy warned Netty to behave. She's told her about Kris and Kay's engagement, and Netty respects it one hundred percent...well that's what she told Krissy.

She'll keep her promise, just because it was an old time crush, and she loves and respects the fact that he's found someone to love him for who he is.

She was ready to wax Riah for what she did to him, but since Krissy handled the job, and handled it very well, she left it alone.

"Hey boo!" Krissy squealed, jumping on Kastynn with a concealed hug.

Kastynn chuckled. "Hey love." She hugged her back tightly.

"I missed y'all man." Krissy said, pulling Kris into a hug as well.

"Girl you just saw us the other day." Kris complained as they pulled back from each other.

"I know I know. It's just been boring ya' know. But, Netty's been keepin' me company." She said, pointing to Netty who was sitting in the booth, smiling at their interaction.

"Ohhhh, what up girl?" Kris hyped, happy to his childhood friend.

She scooted out of the booth and hugged Kris tightly before pulling away.

"Yo', it's soo good to see you." He told her, sizing her body up.

She done got thick I see. He thought to himself.

"Same for you."

"This my fiancée, Kastynn. But we all call her Kay, but ya' know I call her bae." He introduced them. "Baby, this my childhood friend, Netty O'Beck."

"Nice to meet you." Netty waved at her.

"Oh, girl I do hugs." She said, cheesing as she held pulled Netty into a hug. "Nice to meet you too."

They talked for a few minutes before sitting down to order their drinks.

"So, why after a whole year haven't I met you?" Kastynn asked Netty, who was busy scrolling through Instagram.

Netty looked up from her phone and smiled, clicking the power button she places it on the table.

"I really don't know." She sarcastically states, diverting her attention to Krissy who sat next to her.

"Girl bye. I been tryna get you to meet her. But yo ass always busy." She mimicked.

They made faces and mocked each other, face-to-face.

Kastynn and Kris laughed at them, enjoying the time they were having.

The waitress, Tinkisheya, came back over to take their orders.

They all decide to order something simple, since the waitress portrayed how many words she couldn't pronounce.

Krissy was playing multiple games with her, showing her things on the menu that she wanted to order, but her petty behavior was on full display as Kastynn and Netty lowly chuckled to themselves.
