"Mookie!" Tj yelled running towards me with open arms getting the groups attention "I missed you so much!"

"Hey hon, I missed you more" I hugged him back then went to sit between Quincy and Alexander's guest while Tj sat on the other side of Quincy "wassup" I said looking at the menu

I'm only here for one thing

"Wassup sis" Tony and Quincy said in unison

"I see you had my nephew, where he at?" Ace asked

"Somewhere safe" I cleared my throat ignoring Elijah's stare

A pair of arms came from behind me hugging my small frame, without thinking I elbowed the person in the stomach twisting their arm back.

Looking them in the eye I stopped and droppped their arm, hugging them I sighed into their chest. "I missed you Messiah, so much man"

"I missed you too but damn" he hissed hugging me with one arm

"My fault, I wasn't thinking" sitting back down, Messiah went to sit by Montana who sat at the end of the table to my left.

"Hello Bella" Alexander smiles softly

"Alexander" I nod

Elijah continued to starred quietly at me as his date tried to get his attention, Alexander and his date talked quietly as the rest of the group talked a bit louder than them.

I on the other hand glanced around the restaurant as the waitress took everyone's order. When she got to me she smiled then complemented me on my outfit.

"Would you like your usual order?" she asked

"No I'm not eating, I'll just get a strawberry margarita with two lemons"

"I'll be back with your drink" and with that she walked away

Tj came back around and reached to get in my lap, lifting him up I complied.

"Wassup boo?" I asked

"Where you been? Q said you went away" he frowned

"I did. I went to Hong Kong, Barbados, Maryland and New York" by now all the attention were on us, Elijah's date mugged me looking me up and down.

Keep it cute casino girl, keep it cute

"Why?" Tj asked

"I had to do some work in those places" the waitress came back with my drink and everyone's food. As they ate I could still feel Elijah's eyes on me.

"Aye Monique, why you not talking to yo nigga?" Ace asked

"And why he got another bitch in his face?" Montana asked

"I don't have anything to say to him, he left me for her" I shrugged, Montana starred at Elijah angrily just like the rest of the guys

"So why did you invite us here?" Tony asked "him mainly"

"Just wanted to see the bro's and as for him. ." I looked at Elijah then back at Tony "just cause"
