“Um, we’d like the bill.” Joy told her.
“Oh, the gentleman over there has taken care of that. He also said that dessert is on him as well.” the waitress gestured towards Khalil.
“Ooh, tell him thanks.” Michelle smiled. “And I’ll have a strawberry cheese cake.”
“And I’ll have the same.” Joy laughed.
“Me too.” I sighed. Khalil was so damn pushy.
“Girl, why do you have that look on your face? You just got a free meal.” Joy asked me.
“How are y’all doing?” Khalil asked as he made his way over to our table.
“That’s why.” I mumbled.
“Raven, I been trying to catch up with you like forever.” he smiled revealing a gold grill with diamonds and baguettes.
“Oh, for real?” I sighed. I was wondering what he’d think once I stood up. From the position I was in he couldn’t see my small baby bump.
“Yeah, why don’t you ever call me?”
“Boy, I have so much to deal with. I just didn’t have the time. So, how is your and Melissa’s son?” I asked smartly.
He chuckled. “Oh, Lil’ Kay is good. He’s chilling at my mama’s right now. So, where are y’all headed after y’all leave here?”
“We’re going to Max’s.” Joy spoke up.
“Max’s, huh? What y’all know about that?” he asked us.
“Plenty.” Michelle sassed.
“Oh, okay. Is Lucky going to be there, Michelle?” Khalil asked her.
“No.” Michelle replied taking her tough attitude down a notch. Apparently, he’d hit a soft spot.
“Well, I was going there too. If y’all follow me, I could get chu in V.I.P.”
“Oh, hell yes!” Joy exclaimed.
“That’s a bet.” Michelle smiled.
I gave them both one ugly look. I didn’t want to go anywhere with that nigga.
“Are you coming, Raven?” he asked me.
“Oh, she’s coming.” Michelle answered for me. I was riding with her, so I guess she felt that I had no choice.
“Whatever.” I pouted. Yeah, I could’ve called Jahrein to come pick me up, but I wanted to go out, and why not spend Khalil’s money?
When I stood up to leave he saw my stomach. “I see he got you again.” he commented. I ignored his ass.
Max’s was jumping by the time we all arrived. Since we were in V.I.P we didn’t have to stand in line. It was all good especially since the club was supposed to be for twenty-one and up. And I heard that they sometimes tripped about pregnant women coming into the club, so Khalil definitely came in handy. I was feeling grown and sexy, even with my baby bump. I had on a Coogi dress with some knee high boots. The dress was very short just how I liked it.
Khalil was making sure that we had a good time. He kept the drinks flowing for my girls. Joy was feeling one of Khalil’s boys so she was busy getting her flirt on. Michelle was just mingling since most of the niggas knew her man personally. I was just sitting around doing what I did best; looking good.
When Michelle went to the restroom Khalil came and slid his ass next to me. “Are you enjoying yourself, beautiful?” he asked as he eased his arm around me.
“Yeah, this is cool.” I smiled.
