The outside of the restaurant gave no justice to the inside of the place. The place was huge. There were pictures any and everywhere in the place. Everywhere you turned you would see at least ten phots of someone pinned to a wall. The only way you could see most of the pictures in the back were the dim red lights provided. Everything was red in the restaurant. The dimmed lights, leather bar chairs, couches at the lounge, booths, and the cushions on some chairs were all red.

Off to the right of all the sitting areas was the lounge area. There were two sets of red couches facing each other and a long coffee table splitting them. That was more of an area to eat pastries and drink coffee, but it was also big enough for people to dance to the music they were playing above.

To the left of the lounge area was the bar area, the only space that wasn't dimly lit. They had every alcoholic drink you could think of stacked up there. There was a line of red leather chairs lined up. The type of chairs you would see at an old diner if you wanted to sit by the counter. It was an alcoholic's best nightmare.

We walked up to the lady behind the small stand post to see if we could find any room to sit. The place was filled with, what felt like, all of New York with how lively it also was. I was staring to get nervous we wouldn't have enough room for us and the boys.

"Hello ma'am," Lina started with a smile which the lady held a tight grin back on her red painted lips. "We would like to seat nine people tonight."
Lina has such a strong Bronx accent, yet she manages to talk with it with so much grace and elegance.

The lady began to search for a while making my nervousness rise more until she looked up with a smile. "Right this way ladies."
She grabbed the menus and lead us to the left side where the booths were. Kayla and I sat next to each other as Lina and Lily sat across. She wished us a good night with a promise our waiter would be here as soon as possible. We thanked her before she left. We were about to talk until the waiter came to our table not even a second after she left. We told him our drinks before he quickly walked to the kitchen.

"You think the guys notice we left yet?" Lily asked.

"Man if they do, they needa hurry they asses over here," Lina said looking at her menu.

We all stayed slient looking at we want to eat. Our waiter came back with our waters and wondering our order. Kayla and I decided we would split a steak while Lily and Lina would stick to their salads. After our waiter left, Lily and Lina's phones went off. It felt like something off of Pretty Little Lairs. They started laughing.

"What's funny?" I asked.

"Frank texted me, really my car and a note with y'all's lipsticks on it? So disrespectful," Lily giggled at the end.

"Alex was like, couldn't have waited for ten more minutes? The nigga even sent a pic of all the guys looking fake mad."

"They're so extra," Kayla laughed.

"I say we be extra back and send them a pic back of us all lookin fine as hell," I suggested before they started applauding me for the idea.
We got up and asked the table next to us to take our picture. When Lina handed them her phone, we all grouped together and stuck our best pose. We thanked them before walking back to the table. Not even a full minute after Lina sent it we all got notifications.

Lily chuckled," Nigga really just said, you steal my car then go out lookin good as fuck? Imma beat that up tonight, then sent a kitty emoji."

"Girl, Alex deadass said, alright give us forty more minutes and you won't be able to walk in those heels tonight."
