A'Mariell &' Don pulled up to the restaurant they were dining in for the night &' climbed out the car.

A'Mariell started dancing, making Don laugh .

"Get it guess, My turnnnn. Dougie hype me uppp." Don mocked the tiktok joining in the dance. Making it to the door Don grabbed it for A'Mariell, causing her to say thank you .

"Table for two?" The host asked, Don nodded. She grabbed two menu's &' silverware before walking them to a booth, Sitting down the host started them with drinks. "Long Island for me &' she wanna Arnold Palmer." A'Mariell smiled at Don remembering her drink .

"I been thinking right?" Mari spoke breaking the silence as they went over the menu, Don looked up at her nodding for her to continue. "So my family is taking a trip next month, &' I want you to come." She told him fiddling with her fingers shyly . "Ion know, Me &' yo folks ain't got the best relationship." He joked, closing the menu as the waiter came to the table . "Hey, I'm Jay. I'll be y'all waiter for the night, I see y'all got y'all drinks y'all need a lil more time or y'all ready?" She asked.

"I'm ready, you ready bae?" A'Mariell asked Don .

"Yeah, lemme get the New Orleans pasta, with extra sauce &' seafood." He spoke &' the waitress jotted it down on the notepad she had . "&' For you?"

"Can I get the king crab with every sauce mixed, cause I get corn on the cob extra potatoes, no sausages &' no eggs." A'Mariell ordered .

"Okay Ima Get That Put In For You."

"Anyways, back to the question. But the only person you'd have to worry bout is my brother &' he just overprotective but for the most part he's sweet." A'Mariell explained sipping Don's iced tea

"Ou, you got alcohol?" She asked him, sipping again.

"Baby, what you think a Long Island Tea is ?" He said back making her die of laughter .

"Where the trip?" Don asked . "Cancun, if you don't want to go that's fine, but I'd appreciate it if you did." She batted her eyes before they were placed on something else .

Walking in was Tae &' to A'Mariell's knowledge a nobody, anger fueled through her. As much as she wanted too, she couldn't look away.

Tae spotted A'Mariell &' his eyes immediately softened then quickly turned black realizing who she was sitting with, he nodded to himself before the waiter sat him &' Niesha down .

"You good?" Don asked her seeing she was upset, he scanned the room to figure out what upset her,

He seen Tae &' couldn't do anything but smile .

"Mamas, I know he ain't just walk in &' change yo mood." Don spoke, A'Mariell rolled her eyes &' shook her head . "It's too much to explain man." She said back drinking her tea.

"We got time.." He replied &' sat back. A'Mariell looked into his eyes seeing he genuinely cared, she cleared her throat &' begin telling him about her &' Tae's history

"Tae, yo mind somewhere else?" Niesha asked eating a spoonful of her jambalaya, Tae sighed &' shook his head. "I ain't thinkin bout nobody else bout you right now." He lied, putting his attention back on her .

"Good, so finish telling me bout this trip." She added leaning back . "You coming or you ain't ?" Tae joked sipping his drink . "Alright , Here's Y'all Food. Y'all bill all taken care of . Y'all have a good night I'll check back soon." The waitress sat the food down, He furrowed my eyebrows at the fact that their food was prepaid. "You paid?" Tae asked Niesha, she shook her head "I thought you was paying?" She replied to him. He turned his head in Don's direction , they made eye contact Don nodded his head toward him to A'Mariell. Once Tae &' A'Mariell's eye's met she smiled , then added a wink .

Tae bit him bottom lip angrily before turning back to Niesha. "I'll be back." He told her before exiting the booth wiping his mouth with his hands &' walking to Don's &' A'Mariell's table .

"You think this shit cute?" Tae asked A'Mariell through gritted teeth . "Want a crab leg?" She asked paying him no attention still eating. "Girl I'll slap dat shit out yo fuckin hand stop playing wit me." Tae said back, flinching at her a little, Don smacked his lips . "&' Yo bitch ass better not say shit to me." Tae whined to Don. All Don could do was chuckle

Don stared at Tae, not amused with his little show at all . "See you don't even know this bitch for real, or what we got goin on. You gone get yo lil ass smoked." Tae threatened Don causin Don to jerk his neck back

"Yo best bet is to walk away from this table." Don mouthed back standing up . "Aw A'Mariell, you finally got a tough nigga. Hitman pussy ass woulda just sat dere." Tae joked stepping back . "Don't stand up like it's smoke my nigga-"
