"I'll take the Vodka Martini"
The waitress nodded and jotted down Amara's order before heading off, her departure gave way for Gabi to fangirl over the décor of the restaurant
"My god this place is so beautiful, multi-color stone walls, brick patterns, wood patterns, glass structures all blended to together effortlessly. Golden brown lights that are understated but make the space bigger, square seating to make the tables seem isolated, a glass window into the kitchen for more light, I love it, I love it, I love it"
Amara raised her brow at her traitorous friend, considering she spent the car ride complaining about how the owner of the restaurant took over her show today, she expected a little sympathy but anybody who knows Gabrielle Adeyemi knows that she's a whore for good décor.
The insanely prompt waitress was back with their drinks, one vodka martini for one grumpy show host, one Manhattan for the awe-struck event planner and one lemonade for the heavily pregnant software engineer. Amara and Gabi placed their orders and ordered for the other woman at the table who was currently in the bathroom. A few minutes after the waitress walked away Tola waddle back to the table before plopping herself down in her seat
"You know what's inhumane...pregnant women not being able to drink...I mean who needs a drink more than a pregnant woman?"
Gabi took a long sip before replying in a clearly sarcastic manner
"Oh, you poor thing"
"You are the worst sister ever, if you were a real one you wouldn't drink in front of me"
"Why should I abstain, I didn't knock you up"
"If it wasn't for this belly, I would knock you upside the head"
"See me in three months when you drop my nephew"
"Girl don't play with me, I will cut you"
"With what...your sharp wit"
Amara choked on her drink before putting it down, she lived for the Adeyemi sisters, they have the best repertoire with each other, each one gave it as good as she got it
"You gotta give her that round Tola, that closer was everything"
The mommy to be rolled her eyes before taking a bitter sip of her lemonade
"Well I'm not exactly in fighting shape...Congrats, you beat a pregnant woman"
Gabi rolled her eyes and scoffed at her sister
"She uses the pregnant excuse every time, we have to hang out at your house cause your pregnant, we have to come pick up your dry cleaning cause your pregnant, we had to drive down to your state to go to a restaurant that's also in our state because your pregnant"
"Shut up, you know you love this place, it's beautiful, plus I've been craving the crab jeon since I had it last month and this is the only place that serves them with pickles"
"Oh, I'm not the person at the table with the problem with your restaurant choice"
The not so subtle hint that Amara wasn't too happy with the choice of restaurant had Tola turning to her with a smile
"I thought I ordered lemonade but apparently we're serving tea...spill it"
"Girl drink your minute maid and mind your belly"
Tola glared and sent Amara a vicious look
"See, I'm adding you to the list of hoes imma see in three months and 28 days"
