Rae POV I pulled up in Aunt B's soul food restaurant 10 minutes later . This was one of the spots me and used to love to go to together all the time . I hopped out the car and headed to the passengers side to help Nique out the car . Ion play that opening doors shit round me hell I open doors and all for my daughter . We finally made it inside where the hostess greeted us . "Hey welcome to Aunt B's it's just y'all two today ? Yes it's just us I replied . Table or booth the hostess asked ." Booth Nique replied . "Okay right this way she said leading us to our table . I couldn't watch the way Nique's ass looking in that skirt . Shit I thought to myself biting my lip . We sat down at the table and studied our menu's until our waitress came over . "Soooo what made you choose here "Nique asked . "No reason it's always good vibes when we here I replied and caught Nique smiling . "Hey I'm Keshia I'll be yo waitress today what we having today she said smacking her gum . "Umm yeah I'll have — Nique started to say . " Yeah she'll have the baked Cajun chicken ,yams , broccoli cheese casserole and a lemonade and I'll have the smothered pork chops rice gravy and Mac and cheese and cabbages with a sweet tea I told the waitress . " okay will that be all for y'all today "Keisha said writing down our order . "Umm can you add a side of corn muffin on please " Nique asked . No problem , I'll be back with your drinks she said taking our menus . "Let me find out you still remember Nique joked . "I told you I remember all your favorites girl I replied to Nique . We eventually made small talk catching up on Ari and Jaylen . My boy Jay shooting guard for his basketball team and Nique was telling me how he starting to catch the lil girls attention . I told Nique about Ari's now wanting to be addressed as Princess Ari and her wanting to wear her princess costume and rain boots everywhere . "Sooo leave her alone , she said what she said Nique replied laughing . We both started laughing and was interrupted by our waitress bringing our food over . "Here y'all go , can I get y'all anything else "Keisha asked while refilling our drinks . " No thank you "I replied . We blessed our food and ate . " Soooo what you wanted to talk to me about Desirae "Nique asked breaking the silence . Shit I was tryna avoid this conversation for as long as possible . "Uh oh yeah , I just wanted to apologize for everything that happened and how I handled it , I promise that didn't happen to way down the line with her . " You keep saying that but I honestly felt like that was some shit you were doing prior to us breaking up Nique said taking a sip from her lemonade . " Nahhh man , I just got tired of being accused of doing some shit I really wasn't doing tired of arguing bout it so I might as well do it I shrugged . "Why not come talk to me Desi instead of handling that way " Nique sighed and said . " "Would you would have listened tho , cause you were already dead set that I was out to hurt you before fully giving me a chance "I told her matter of factly . " I know I'm sorry but could you blame me Desi before me you were a hoe , it was a different female every other week "Nique said with attitude . "Exactly before you , I got enough respect for you and what we had going on not to do that to you during us , you know I'm big on loyalty " I replied ."I guess my insecurities got the best of me but you did fuck her tho right ? "Nique questioned . I got quiet and twirled my straw around in my drink . "Hmmph I figured that much" Nique scoffed . "I mean that was wayyyy after the fact tho I counterjected . ''I mean I cnt be mad cause we weren't together but damn , What about Rayven you fuck her too ? Nique said with her eyebrows raised . " Mannn "I said playing with one of curls . " Woww Nique chuckled , I figured that too she said . "I really only did the shit with the bitch Deja to get under your skin , we both said some fucked up shit that night and no cap I was in my feelings I replied . "You right we did Nique said . " Sooo you think we can move past this and you forgive me and try again orrrrr ? I asked Nique . "We'll see Nique said smiling , is there anybody I should be worried bout . I sat and thought about Dejas bug a boo ass but nah she shouldn't be no problem . "Nah we good " so told her smiling . " Oooh speaking of I seen ya luh jump off at work today rolling her eyes at me she liked to got her ass slapped . Nique said with her face twisted up . " "Nahh chill I'm not on that time with her no more " I replied . "Mmhmm lets get out of here tho , I only got an hour and a half for lunch " . I grabbed the bill to pay and left a 10 dollar tip on the table . I opened Niques car door for her and then eventually got into my seat and pulled off headed to Nique's job . I hooked up my phone to my headset and let Young Bleu take us on the ride to Nique's job . About halfway to the job I had a incoming call from Domo I hit answer and her voice filled the car soon replacing the music . " Yooo Auntie them just got here Domo said . "Heard you I'm out right now but I'll be thru in like 30 minutes bruh I said not wanting to say too much round Nique . "Iight less" Domo replied ending the call . I already knew that meant we just had some product coming in and we had to sort the shit before we let it hit the streets . I pulled up into Nique's job and headed out to open her car door . I grabbed her hand and grabbed pulled her out the car and onto me . " It was fun catching up with you Ms. Nique I said pulling her into a hug . " Yeah it was , thank you ,she said leaning in for a kiss . Bruhh it's like when our lips connected it brought back so many resurfaced feelings . I deepened the kiss adding a little tongue and then reached down and palmed Nique's ass . Damn I missed this bro . "Mmmm Nique moaned into my mouth breaking the kiss . " Oooh shit I see we got a audience I said to Nique laughing and nodding my head over at Deja . "Oops " Nique said laughing giving me a quick peck on the lips . " Yeah , you knew what you was doing but hit me when you get home and settled " I told Nique still holding onto her waist . "Okay I will she smiled shyly before planting another small kiss on my lips and then turning to walk outside . I watched her walk inside and the way that skirt hugged all her curves . Shit ! I hopped in my car and rode all the way to the spot with a smile on my face . After almost 2 hours at the spot , weighing , cutting and distributing all the products to our runners . I was finally back in my car headed home to shower and lay my ass down . I opened my phone to see I had a couple missed texts from Deja's ass a couple missed texts from Teyuana asking could we link and a missed text message from Nique letting me know she was home and settled . I had to make this shit right this time . No bullshit I thought as I blocked Dejas number and then texted Teyuana letting her know what was up and that I couldn't be on that time with her anymore . I sent the text and FaceTimed Nique . "Yoooo wassup beautiful what you got going on " I said to Nique noticing she had on just an oversized tshirt . " Nothing bout to watch a movie and sip on some wine , I thought you was too busy for me , I texted you hours ago" Nique rolled her eyes and replied smartly ." "I was I had to handle some shit for my ppl but what movie we finna watch and what we bout to eat" I replied . "Umm I don't remember inviting you over " Nique frowned up her face and said . " Man I don't need an invite you still in the same spot ? "  "Yes Desirae  Nique sighed into the phone  . "Say less , I'm otw and I'm bringing snacks " I told Nique hanging up . We ended up cuddled up on Nique's couch both knocked  out sleep as  Acrimony played in the background . Yeah I'll trade this over a hundred hoes any day I thought while pulling the blanket over us as Nique snuggled up under me .
