A Lesson Learned

Chapter 7 - An Old Acquaintance

Ahmad, Shelly, and Charles arrived at their favorite local seafood restaurant, The Crab House, over two hours later. Ahmad complained the entire ride about how long Charles took to get ready and pick them up and Shelly just laughed.

"You two are too cute," Shelly commented getting out the car behind them smiling.

"What?" Ahmad asked turning around frowning his brows.

"I just don't get why ya'll broke up, ya'll are so cute together. Arguing like a married couple, aww." She said.

"Shelly what are you saying! That right there is the king of all male hoes!" Ahmad said pointed at Charles who just smiled innocently.

"This nigga just thinks he too good for me Shelly, I just don't get it." Charles joked trying to hug Ahmad.

Ahmad pushed him away and made a disgusted face. "You're right I am too good for you. Look at you, you probably got the alphabet disease wit your hoe ass!"

Charles's face turned very serious and he grabbed his dick confidently. "Nigga I keep him wrapped every time. No matter how many people I sleep with and I get checked every month."

"See he admits he's a hoe," Ahmad yelled running into the restaurant. Charles quickly took after him.

"Kids these days," Shelly said to no one in particular and walked into the restaurant. The group of three had to wait a half hour to be seated and when they finally did they were starving.

"Let's hurry up and order ya'll, I'm so fucking hungry," Charley said.

"Well if you got ready sooner, we would have gotten here before the dinner rush." Ahmad stated looking at the menu.

"Here we go again," Charles said looking at himself through a spoon. "Shelly you know what you getting?"

"Yeah I'm ready to order," Shelly answered putting her menu down.

"Good, cause we ordering now." Charles stated gesturing their waiter over.

"Wait I'm not ready," Ahmad pleaded masking his smirk. "Give me another minute Charles."

"What's the matter you don't like to be rushed?" Charles said sarcastically. "Besides I'm starving!"

Ahmad ignored him and looked at the menu for another few minutes.

Charles and Shelly ordered their food and drinks while Ahmad continued to read his menu.

"Ok can I have the Crab House Salad to start, the Milano and a glass of water with lemon." Ahmad said to the waiter who had been impatiently waiting at the table for his order.

"Indecisive ass," Charles said to Ahmad after the waiter walked away.

"I didn't know what I wanted; there is so much good food here." Ahmad voiced feeling rushed.

"But we come here all the time nigga," Charles criticized.

"So what?" Ahmad responded looking around for anyone he knew.

"He is right though, we been here more times than we can count." Shelly added following Ahmad eyes.

"Who side are you on Shelly? You're my blood!" Ahmad exclaimed louder than he wanted. It wasn't the frivolous conversation but it was the he had spotted an old friend in the restaurant.

"Calm down cuz, I'm just saying you were taking mad long. Isn't that-" Shelly said noticing where Ahmad eyes rested.

"Yeah I'm just going say hi to him, I'll be back." Ahmad said excusing himself from the table.
