“What’s wrong? Is the dip not to your liking?” Mila queried, watching her hands fall to her throat as her airways closed.
Releasing a light chuckle, Mila finished the last of her drink.
“One thing I have never been, Galena, is a fool. You should know better than to underestimate me.” Just as she was about to bring herself to her feet, Galena’s arm extended, and she dug her nails into Mila’s lower arm, near her wrist.
Wincing, Mila pierced her with a wrathful stare. Jerking from her grasp, a wicked smile spread across her lips.
“Tell Derrien I said hello.” She slipped her Prada shades over her eyes and took the back exit to leave.
Galena seized and tipped over from her chair onto the floor while Mila’s footsteps got further away. The people in the restaurant scrambled to help her while some of the other patrons watched in horror. Galena convulsed until foam filled her mouth. Parked outside, Eirian had no clue what washappening until the ambulance was pulling up. The restaurant was cleared and he waited for what seemed like forever, but there was no Galena. The nagging in the pit of his stomach told him some shit had gone down, but he hadn’t seen Mila walk out either. About five minutes later, they whelled a woman out on a gurney. Galena.The fuck is going on?
Huggedup in a booth inside Jose Peppers, Finn and Luna tuned the world out as everyone around them ate and had conversation. Finn gripped the back of her neck, deepening his tongue into her mouth, and received a moan of pleasure from Luna.
“Mmm, we should probably order food.” She giggled and reached for her menu.
“Or try not sticking your tongues down each other’s throat every two seconds,” Minx teased, coming up beside their table with Rose not far behind her.
Finn peered up at them as Minx slid in across from them, and Rose sat beside her.
“The hell y’all doing here?” Finn asked, frowning because he wanted some alone time with Luna.
“I was hungry. Luna said y’all would be here.” Minx turned her nose up at him.
Finn cut his eyes across at his girl.
“What?” she asked, shrugging. “I didn’t know she was just going to pull up.”
“You buying?” Minx kidded, knowing it was only going to piss him off.
“Rose, I’ma fuck her up.” Finn pointed a finger at Minx, and she cackled while shaking her head.
“I ain’t scared of you, Finn,” Minx argued playfully.
“What y’all been up to today?” Rose went for some of the jalapeno dip and scrolled through his phone since he’d been tagged in some shit on IG.
Frowning, he thought it was some old, random ass catfight. The comments were going crazy, and then he saw Minx mobbing on that chick Rye and her homegirl, with Luna right at her side.
“Nothing much,” Luna sipped her margarita and shrugged her shoulders.
“Ah yeah? Nothing at all?” Rose prompted, his oval-shaped orbs focusing on Minx and then her.
The two even looked at one another across the table and were still playing innocent.
“I found a property and made an offer on it.” Luna obliged. “Why you being so nosy? I know you and Minx done made shit official and everything, but you ain’t her parent, and she’s grown.”
“Y’all so grown, then what you lying for?” Rose asked, turning his phone so that Luna and Minx could see it.
The video played in a loop on Instagram. Everyone from the town and beyond commented because the shit had gone viral. Luna and Minx caught one another’s eyes, and each burst into laughter. Finn took Rose’s phone from him and replayed the fight.
“Damn, y’all ain’t have to do ’em like that,” he muttered, but let it play again while he watched with a smirk.
“Pssh, fuck them bitches.” Minx waved it off and went for the chips and dip. “They had it coming, and that shit was fun!”
“Ahhh!” She and Luna slapped hands over the table and stuck their tongues out.
Finn slid Rose his phone back across the table. He shook his head in shame.
“Can’t take ya asses nowhere,” Finn mocked.
