"I'm sorry we've never had this happen before, it's looks like your table was double booked under the names of Goodrich and Moore"

"Yeah Im Goodrich," Damoni said making the hostess nod, "That's my apology sir, however—the Moore name has already claimed the table. I could give you another table but it'll be a thirty minute wait since we're quite overbooked tonight" she offered, the frown plastered on her face showed her sympathy but Lakeya was already over it.

The restaurant was definitely packed but she didn't feel like waiting for another table. "You know what it's fine, thank you anyways though" Lakeya said taking Damoni's hand, he gave her a look of confusion but she brushed it off.

"No problem, again I'm sorry for the inconvenience" The hostess said as the two of them walked off to the entrance, Damoni held the door open for Lakeya and they left out of the restaurant. She began to walk towards the car but Damoni pulled her back towards him. "Why you tell that lady never mind?" He asked upsettingly, "Thirty minutes ain't shit"

"I didn't wanna wait, I wanna eat right now. Let's get some tacos or something— we ain't gotta go no where fancy baby" she told him while pulling on his hand to walk back to the car, He shook his head and started to walk with her. "You always tryna eat that lil shit, Im tryna sit you down somewhere nice to eat"

"I appreciate that but it's okay, for tonight let's just get some tacos and go see strippers—since that's what you're into" she joked, watching him open the car door for her. Damoni chuckled and watched her get inside his truck before closing it.

"It's a club opening, Damaris building been closed for a whole year now, everybody popping out but we ain't gotta go if you ain't feeling it" he said leaning into the car through the window to kiss her. He placed a few soft kisses on her lips before walking around the car.

She waited until he got inside the car to speak again, "We can still go, I mean  Nelcia said she'll be there too so I really don't mind it"

Lakeya wasn't that much of a party girl, she only went to things like that if Nelcia or Renee invited her and the two of them were definitely outside broads—those were her main two friends so really they could only convince her to go out.

Damoni started the car up and looked over at her, "It take Nelcia for you to wanna go somewhere?" He asked shifting the gear stick before glancing over at her.

"How do I even look going to a strip club with you and your friends," she retorted.

"You look just fucking fine but you can gone head and be with yo' friend ma—I ain't trippin" he assured her.

"Whatever Damoni" Lakeya mumbled rolling her eyes, she didn't wanna go to the club in the first place, she just felt like maybe if she was with her friend it wouldn't be so bad.

"This don't make no fucking sense, her shit packed already—I thought muhfuckas would've forgot about Damaris old ass and this club" Nelcia fussed rolling her window down to see the long line that was forming down the parking lot, there was barely anywhere for them to park.
