"Rehab" by Amy Whinehouse drifted from the overhead speakers on the restaurant's radio; though it could barely be heard over the hundreds of customers. The table of four was tense as Lotus and Bonnie sat next to each other and across from Yana and Noelle.
The way Yana was looking at Bonnie was an indicator she didn't want to be here and he could tell. Bonnie didn't know some time ago she and Lotus had gotten into it when he came to her house looking for Lisa. Bonnie assumed the discomfort was because Lotus was on a date with a woman who was not her best friend.
Lotus didn't want to be here either. It was unnerving and making him uncomfortable. When Bonnie asked him to pull up he thought he was alone. He didn't know he'd have his chicken-head with him.
Lotus could feel Yana's eyes on him but he kept them on Noelle who seemed to be oblivious to the tension. She was too smitten with Lotus to notice anything else.
It was like they weren't even on a double date because they were only focused on each other. Chin in her hand, Noelle and Lotus were just sharing smirks and smiles with each other.
It was sickening to Yana. She hadn't really said anything much to the girl, but to see her so enthralled with Lotus, to see Lotus entertaining someone else put a bad taste in her mouth. What about Lisa and his daughter? To be honest she wanted to be cold and throw shade toward Noelle for her bestie, but the girl was a sweetheart. So instead of being nasty she limited her interactions with her.
Noelle looked around the place, it was small and cozy. Different from the types of places she assumed Lotus would frequent.
"I like it here. It's small, friendly and the food smells good...Gobble. I have to remember the name of the restaurant if I'm in the area again."
"This is not my place. I've never been here in my life." Lotus replied. "This is Bonnie's spot."
"Oh," Noelle said, a pretty smile coming across her face. Her plump lips were fully glossed up. She looked at Bonnie. "What do you like about this place?"
Bonnie immediately looked at Lotus the same time Lotus looked at him. The best friends had a moment of telepathy as they both knew it was the Gray brother's mother that attracted him here. Bonnie busted out laughing while Lotus looked away.
Noelle searched between the two men for the joke, but Lotus was expressionless, just looking at the crowds of people. So she turned back to Bonnie with a big smile. "What?"
"Nothing, my bad. I like it here because the food is nice and inexpensive. Some of us here can't really do inexpensive though. Like Lotus. That's a bluefin tuna, La Bonnotte potatoes, Ayam Cemani chicken kind of guy."
"Ooo." Noelle giggled. She's never heard of one food item he just said in her life, but she could tell it was expensive.
Lotus looked at her and winked making her blush. Noelle noticed he was kind of quiet today. Yana stared him in his face and could tell he knew she was looking, because he refused to look at her.
