The bells to Snack & Dine dinged, leaving open mouths in their wake the moment the four classic chicks arrived. Tania and her girls were few of the crazy cravers of S&D Creamy package making it their number one gist buddy.
Having heard the news overnight, an emergency meeting was called to discuss Tania's hookup predicament before attending a wedding reception.
"You're kidding me right? You got hooked up with a hot guy and you're seeking our approval to go ahead." Cassy munched a brownie noisily.
"Yo what's up with that? I think it's cool." Sophia added.
"Cool? You think it's cool? It's evil, unheard of, totally unspeakable. How dare you support such nonsense." Debby clicked her tongue. "Tan this is outrageous and I totally say no to this."
"Excuse me and what do you think she should do? Her career is on the line here?" Sophia fired back.
"Yes Debby, you answer?"
"Whatever!" She dug into her brownies, muttering incentives.
"Tania, Tan..." Sophia tugged her sleeve.
"Yes...yes, and then what happened?" She looked up from her napkin.
Sophia paused from her cookie, "Nothing happened."
"Babe," Cassy's face softened, "you've barely touched your plate. Are you okay?"
She gave a quick smile as she fumbled with her cutlery sending it crashing to the floor.
A waitress was quickly at her side with a new fork, "You can use this...oh my!" she grinned widely at her.
"Thanks..."
"Chidera," she supplied.
"Thanks Chidera." She collected the cutlery with another smile pasted on her face.
"Oh! Never mind. Uhm!...I'll go now." The young girl left their table with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Now where were we?" Debby downed a cup of wine.
Cassy tucked her purse under her arm, "Preparing to attend a wedding reception."
"Shit!" They abandoned the rest of their meals.

Tania groaned at her mother's accusation. She always had a reason for calling which never ended well. Her mother was the type who ended the call with a number of one prophet or the other. Had it been a better day, she'd have ignored it but how long could she ignore her calls especially after her aunt surprise visit the last time.

"Ehn! Inlaw? Pictures...which pictures are you talking about?" She scratched her hair nervously.
"Wait let me ask." She overheard her talk to someone before returning to the phone. "Ehen, Maxwell. That fine one, the lawyer one."
