"So you just wanna fuck me forever, and that's it, huh?"

Lucas sniffed and untied his apron, "Over here crying over some fucking onions."
"Nah, we goin' to watch the game. Sorry, ladies." Phoenyx left the kitchen to join Demetrius, who gave up on cooking before they even started.
"Umm, so what are we gonna eat?" Miracle asked.
Ace walked over to Zolina and put a wad of cash in her hands, "Aunt May's? Order whatever y'all want. Keep the rest."
