"How is it that you're always late!?" Shod said looking down at the silver watch around his wrist.
"It's really not that bad." Tae said nonchalantly as she pulled the chair from the table and sat down.
"Oh, you wanna know how bad it is!?" Shod leaned forward pointing his index finger in her face. "I tell you things start 30 minutes earlier than their scheduled time JUST so you'll show up ON time."
Shod arched his perfectly contoured left eyebrow at her, Tae leaned back in her chair looking at the ceiling as his words sunk in.
"Oh god, I'm turning into my mother." She sighed.
"And the plot thickens." Shod raised his mug to his lips with his pinky out as he took a sip of his tea.
Shod's eyes grew wider as he looked past Tae. "Ooooo, and the plot continues to thicken. Don't turn around but, Draya just walked in."
Tae let out a sigh with her fingers pinching the brim of her nose. "How does she know what restaurant I'm at."
"Girl everybody know what you doing now, shit you dating Drake, you know how often that man gets googled!?" Shod said with his attention still focused on Draya. "Girl, yo business is OUR business by default." He continued as he moved his head every which way to keep his eyes on her.
"Oop, act casual, she coming over." Shod grabbed his drink again pretending to take a sip from it as he looked around the room. Tae's face went stale once she saw just how uncasual he looked.
Draya stepped to the side of the table, her black clutch in her hand and phone in the other. She cleared her throat getting both their attention.
"How'd you know I was here?" Tae took no time to get to the point, she refused to entertain any small talk with Draya.
"Well, it's good to see you too." Draya said slightly rolling her eyes. "Look I came to call a truce.
Tae frowned at Draya as she looked her up and down. "Can I sit down?"
"No." Tae replied dryly and emotionless.
Draya sighed, this time rolling her eyes heavily trying to keep her temper under control. "Well...... Anyway, I came to apologize. I was wrong, I shouldn't of leaked photos, it was childish and your right I should of just minded my business. You and I aren't together so what you and Drake are doing has nothing to do with me. So I'm sorry.
Tae frowned listening to Draya, she sat in silence for a few seconds, before sighing and licking her lips. "And you think your apology to me is going to keep you from being blackballed?" Tae leaned forward on the table still looking at Draya. "Honey, you don't do shit, you're not on basketball wives anymore and that was really your only claim to fame, I mean other than you fucking with rappers and your football player fiancé, who also ain't doing shit in the NFL, and you're swim suit line is plummeting. Yea, I saw the numbers. Nobody is checking for you, you're no longer eating off my name. My work with you is done." Tae gave Draya a small smile. "Draya there's no apology big enough for what you did, you purposely leaked nude photos of me, and you think a halfass apology is going to get those nudes off the internet? You can take that apology and shove it up ya ass! Alllll up in ya ass."
An old white couple from the closest table turned their heads in confusion and concern at Tae and Draya, Shod turned his head away from the two women and covered his mouth with his hand trying to cover the excitement on his face. You know what? Never mind I'll take that ol tired ass apology and I'll find a place on my shelf of accomplishments to put it." The sarcasm in Tae's made the drag that much more great.
Draya swallowed squinting her eyes at Tae, her nose flared as she clung onto her clutch tighter. The stare-off between the two women was interrupted by Shod coughing as if he was choking.
"Excuse me!" He said in between forced coughing putting his mug down. "Oohh this tea is hot, almost burnt my mouth." Shod said as he looked at Tae then at Draya. Then turned to a passing waiter. "Excuse me, Mr. Waiter Man, can you get me some ice!? My tea is too hot!" He said waving one hand in the air.
The tension between both women could not only be felt but could be seen from any table in the restaurant, Draya looked at Tae then at Shod, and one last time at Tae before she walked off. There was nothing left for Draya to do, no apology big enough to get her back in whatever good grace she was in post leaking nudes. Tae pulled her hair from one side of her head to the other and leaned back in her chair.

Tae walked into the dimly lit restaurant into the private room, her pace slowed once she only saw Drake sitting at the head of the table looking down scrolling through his phone.
"Where is everyone? I thought we were all having dinner?" She said closing the distance between the two of them.
Drake looked up and put his phone in his front pocket once he heard her, he stood up and pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead, then moved down to her lips.
"It's just us tonight." He said smiling.
Tae looked around. usually, the room was filled with friends and family, scattered conversation, the table filled with food and drinks. She let out a small laugh and blushed. The room was quite a faint sound of an orchestra played in the background, the table was clear besides the perfectly folded napkins that were rolled around shiny silverware, candles flickered against the dark walls casting shadows.
Drake grabbed Tae's hand and walked her to the seat closest to him and pulled her chair out.
"Well aren't you just a regular Casanova." She said giving him a smile a sitting down.
Drake smoothed the down the front of his shirt then sat down. "I got something for you."
Drake reached into his other pocket and pulled out his blackberry, he plugged his headphones into it and scrolled through it for a moment. He slid it across the table to Tae.
"Hhhmmm a song perhaps!?" Tae smiled at him as she picked up the earphones and placed them in her ear.
"Oh, it's a song alright." Drake pushed play once Tae was ready.
He smiled as he watched her facial expressions, her eyes widened her mouth open as she listened to the recording of her and Drake having sex in the recording booth. She began to feel turned on as she heard how demanding and in control he was over her.
"I'm a little turned on right now." Tae said with her face frowned.
Drake's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? we can skip dinner and go home!" Drake threw his thumb over his shoulder. "Shit, it's a bathroom over there." Drake's face was more than serious.
Tae gave him a devilish smile as she continued listening to the recording, Drake leaned forward and moved his hand up the inside of Tae's thigh feeling her up through her leggings. Tae bit down on her bottom lip and closed her thighs around his hand and began to grind.
"I wanna go home!"
"You wanna go home." He repeated after her with the same devilish grin.
She leaned closer and ran her tongue across his bottom lip and shook her head up and down.
