Waiter: good evening mam, table for one?

Crystal: uhm no I'm actually meeting someone

Waiter: okay right this way please -gives her the menu- I'll give you a few minutes to go through the menu

Crystal: thanks -checks her watch-

It's 6:05 p.m and Josh is nowhere near in sight, she contemplates unblocking him but she decides against it.

Her phone rings...

~Phonecall~

Devale: hey, is he there yet?

Crystal: nope! He's disrespectful asf for telling me to be on time yet he's late. I'm telling you D, if this nigga ain't here by 6:15 I'm leaving

Devale: yeah, so uhm what's the plan?

Crystal: [sighs] idk but I think it'll come to me as he tells me he wants

Devale: [scoffs] we already know what he wants though

Crystal: we do?

Devale: Crys don't play with me!!! We both know that he wants you back, please just make sure you don't fall for his demands

Crystal: -mocking him- and what if I want him back too? I mean I'm a single woman after all

Devale: [sucks teeth] I've actually been meaning to talk to you about changing that

Crystal: there's no time like the present

Devale: I'm gonna file for di-

Crystal: [whispers] he's here, gotta go *hangs up*

Josh: hey, thanks for coming and sorry I'm late. I had to find a sitter for Amaka

Crystal: it's cool, so what's this about?

Josh: [smiles] you look really beautiful

Crystal: [bored] thanks but I didn't come here for compliments so what's up?

Josh: [smirks] let's order something to drink first -waves to the waiter-

Waiter: evening sir, may I take your drinks order?

Josh: [smiles] I'll let the lady decide

Crystal: -silent- [rolls eyes]

Josh: [smirks] can we get a bottle of your best wine and 2 glasses please

Waiter: coming right up *walks away*

Crystal: [sighs] Joshua I didn't come here for this, please get to the point so I can go on about my night

Josh: and what does that entail? Jumping back in bed with that nigga Devale?

Crystal: no! And just so we're clear, it's not your business who I get down with- I'm not your girl anymore!

Josh: [smirks] trust me, after I say what I got to say that's gonna change!

Waiter: [brings the wine]

Josh: -pours two glasses and gives Crystal one-

Crystal: no thanks, I'm not drinking tonight. This water will be just fine!

Josh: okay suit yourself, but if I were you I'd keep the glass nearby because you're gonna need a drink after I present my ultimatum

Crystal: if you don't start talking I swear I'm walking outta here! I'm not with the back and forth
