After the club, all of us go to this taco spot a few blocks down the street. We were currently in a booth waiting on our food.

"Wait so how do you all know each other?" Justine asks sipping on her drink.

"Well Ashanti is my sister. Our mom and Leland's mom were friends before we were even thought of. So we grew up best friends back when we all lived in Baltimore" Dame explains.

"Hold up y'all are from Baltimore?" Normani asks.

"Yeah" me, Dame, and Lee say in unison.

"That explains so much" she says sipping on her water.

"What you mean?" I ask focusing on her lips.

"Well I didn't notice it so much with Leland, but when you and Damiun say certain words your accent comes out. I just knew y'all weren't from here. But anyway when did Keith come into your friend group?" she asks curiously.

"Dame and Keith were roommates during I think Damiun's sophomore and Keith's senior year of college and then they got an apartment together, after Keith graduated" I explain.

"So how old are y'all?" Choie asks.

"I'm 23, Damiun is 24, Lee is 25, and you already know Keith is 26." I say

"That's crazy how your ages line up perfectly" Ryan says.

"What about you ladies, how did you all meet and what's your ages" Leland asks

"I'm 25, Justine is 24, Mani and Choie are both 23. Mani and Choie grew up together, and Me, Justine, and Normani are in the entertainment business. We've seen each other at different events and became super tight" Ryan explains.

I nod my head now understanding the dynamics. I see the waiter bringing out our food, and start getting hyped. Once the food is placed on the table all talking ceased, we all started diving into our plates. I was glad to see that none of us played when it comes to food. I typically hate when people try to hold a conversation while I'm eating.

I finish my tacos and I notice that Normani was about to be finished with hers.

"Hey Normani you tryna get whooped in a game of pool?" I ask while wiping my mouth with a napkin.

"Oh Lord here we go" Keith rolls his eyes.

"Shut up" I laugh him off.

Normani finishes the last bite of her taco, wipes her mouth and hands, then gets up out her seat. "Let's go". I don't know why everything this girl does is such a turn on for me, but it is.

"Are you coming?" she asks laughing because I was still in my seat, staring at her.

"Yeah, definitely" I get up quickly to join her.

She leads us over to the pool table. I can't help that my eyes land on her naturally swaying hips. Damn.

She hands me a pool stick and starts to rack up. I know she definitely feels my eyes all over her body, but I don't even care anymore to be discrete about it. She's already caught me three times tonight, there's no point in trying to hide my attraction towards her now.

"It's rude to stare. You can break" she says while removing the triangle rack.

I start lining up my pool stick. "Stare has such a negative connotation, I prefer the word admire" I say hitting the white ball, while looking deep into her dark brown eyes.
