She had some nerve and Peaches didn’t hesitate to share her two cents as soon as she climbed into the truck. “I could’ve got my feet done and a whole set of new lashes as long as I been waiting on you.”
Nina apologized, “Time wasn’t on my side today. I’m going to make it up to you, I promise.”
“Like G, you offered to scoop ME! I didn’t call your phone trying to make plans.”
She gave her a look that begged for sympathy. “I’m sorry, seriously.”
Peaches folded her arms. “Hmm hmm, I want something good to eat and a lot to drink!” she let her know.
“Your wish is my command. We can eat wherever you want.”
“I thought you had reservations already, LIAR!”
Damn, she was guilty again.
She’d been busy. Work was kicking her ass left and right. A girls’ day was needed with one of her closest and funniest friends.
“Alright, alright… I forgot to lock the resy in, but no worries. It’s early in the day. We can still get something good to eat, even if we have to sit at the bar,” she said casually.
“Look at you, I know the real reason why you was late.”
Nina glanced down at her ensemble. She didn’t dress up today, so she didn’t have a clue as to what exactly Peaches was referring to. “I have on linen pants and one of Jio’s t-shirts,” she commented on her attire. She literally threw on the first thing that she laid eyes on. Paired with a jean jacket, strappy sandals, and a Gucci scarf tied around her edges, she looked presentable, and that’s all that mattered. Nina had to dress up every day of the week so when the weekend came, if it wasn’t business-related, she preferred to be as comfortable as possible.
“Oh baby, it don’t have nothing to do with your clothes, but you look cute and you smell good.”
Nina pulled her glasses down. “Spit it out.”
She looked the other way with her nose stuck in the air. “Nah…nah, I’ll let you tell me on your own.”
“I don’t have nothing to tell you,” Nina said to her.
“So we not going out to eat to celebrate?”
She pulled her glasses down. “Celebrate what exactly?”
Peaches leaned in until they were almost nose to nose. “Bitch, you glowing!”
Nina rolled her eyes. “It’s too early for your foolishness.”
“You got nice skin and all, but that’s not the reason.”
Peaches looked her up and down again before dramatically placing a hand over her heart.
“That right there...”
She pointed toward Nina's face.
“Is premium dick glow!” she continued.
Nina slapped her arm so hard the strawberry pineapple smoothie nearly flew out of Peaches’ hand.
“Girl!”
“What?” Peaches hollered between laughs.
“You are crazy!”
“If I’m lying, I’m flying.”
