"I'm telling you Rhee, that mascot is too scary for little kids, I'on even know why they still have that shit in DisneyWorld."

"Nah I'm sorry, rewind and pause." Rheah says trying not to laugh, "You pissed yourself... just because Goofy waved at you?"

Opposite her, Kyle smacks his lips, "Aye, in my defence I was only 7 and I had a lot to drink that day."

Rheah was silent for a moment before the joyful sound of her laughter adds to the light atmosphere, tears of joy streaming down her face.

"Aight so Imma wait 'til you finished." Kyle rolls his eyes in amusement.

The two were spending Rheah's lunch break cracking up over Kyle's childhood stories in Spill The Tea, a local café just a few minutes walk from the bakery. The café, run by a young woman from St Kitts and Nevis, was also a well known chill out spot for the young people, including the Anderson brothers and their friends.

"I'm sorry but that's just too funny honestly, I wish I could've been there to see that!" Rheah wipes her tears, eventually settling down, "But hey, on the bright side, that's one birthday you'll never forget." She smiles.

"Yeah, it's definitely one for the books." Kyle mimics her smile, "Speaking of birthdays...the kid's turning 26 on Saturday." He grins.

"Really?" Rheah matches his excited smile, "So what are we doing to celebrate?"

"Well, I'm having a early 2000s themed roller skate party, so you know, come looking cute in your Baby Phat, Fila, Sean John, Champion, Apple Bottom jeans." Kyle smirks, "Can you skate?"

"Well, I've never tried," She admits, "But I was taught how to ice skate just the other day, is it kinda like the same thing?"

Kyle nods, "Yeah a little, are you good?"

"Nah," Rheah shakes her head, laughing. "I'm terrible."

Kyle laughs with her, "Ain't no problem, sweetheart," He gives her a charming smile, "I'll teach you."

"Oo great! First personal pottery class instructor, next, personal roller skating instructor..." Rheah gives him a flirtatious look, "I wonder what the talented Kyle will be teaching me next."

Kyle chuckles before licking his lips, leaning back into his seat. "I guess we'll have to wait and see."

"Hello MT-Rhee and welcome to my temporary crib!" Janaé announces with a wide grin when she unlocks the penthouse door to let a giggling Rheah inside.

"Oo wow this is nice!" Rheah's eyes take in the luxurious penthouse she had stepped into, "Chris got moneyyy!"

Janaé chuckles, shaking her head at her friend's admiration, "Ehh it's aight."

Rheah laughs, "Don't be a hater, now."

"I'm not, just don't let him hear you say that, ever. His head is big enough as it is." Janaé smirks, taking off her coat while Rheah chuckles doing the same.

After grovelling for days after the club fiasco, Janaé had managed to convince her brother to let her move back in with him. She wasn't meant to have people over here, hence why she always went to the girls' apartment, but she needed to get ready for her date with Kieron tonight and was in desperate need of advice on what to wear...
