Temah Amoah's POV

My whole body is overcome with an embarrassed flush, as I sit opposite my friends, who stare at me, still stunned, as we sit in the fast food restaurant just across the street from work.

"So you're really getting dick from the boss?!" Crystal asks, wide eyed.

I shush her quickly, eyes darting around to make sure nobody hears.

"Not so loud, come on!" I tell her.

"And no, we're not sleeping together, he just- -" I start to say, but a waitress approaches our table, smiling broadly.

"Good afternoon, sir, would you and your friends like to order now?" She asks, looking at Bryce like she wants to pounce on him.

Bryce blinks at her and then turns to Crystal.

"Babe?" He says.

The waitress rolls her eyes dramatically and Crystal catches it, but says nothing.

Yet.

"I'll have the double cheeseburger and fries with a medium vanilla shake please" Crystal says.

"Same here" Bryce says.

"I'll have the same also, but no shake" I say, holding up my lemonade.

The waitress sighs.

"Is that it?" She asks rudely.

I'm about to cut in, but Crystal gets there first.

"First of all, I ordered a burger and fries, not your attitude." She says, holding a finger up and I nearly choke on my drink as I try not to laugh.

"And secondly, sis. Roll your eyes enough times and I'm sure you'll find a working brain in there, I'll tell you now" Crystal says.

The waitress reddens deeply and mutters an apology, before shuffling off.

I look at her in shock and I sneak a look at Bryce, who unconsciously licks his lower lip, looking at her as if he would take her and right now, if they weren't in public in this very moment.

To fortify my thoughts, he leans forward and mutters into her ear, and she laughs, rolling her eyes at him.

I chuckle at the pair of them.

"What, so you two are together now?" I ask.

Bryce blushes.

"Nearly there" He says.

"You thought" Crystal responds and then chuckles, so I have no clue if she is being sarcastic or not.

Bryce puts his arm around her shoulder.

"You know you want me" He says, giving her a charming grin.

"Want, not need, Bryce" She says teasing him.

"That's not what you said when my face was between your le- -" he starts, but she cuts him off before he can continue.

"Temah!" She exclaims and he chuckles softly.

"So are you gonna give us details or not?" She asks.

"Not" I reply.

"But Temah!" Bryce whines, giving me puppy dog eyes.

"You wanna know about your brother's sex life?" I ask, trying to play it out and deflect the questions.

He pauses, so that the waitress can give us our food and when she goes, he continues.

"Frankly, I'm surprised that I don't already know" he says and I glance up at him and he continues eating.

"Is he good?" Crystal asks, munching on a fry and Bryce scoffs.

"He's my little brother! Of course he's good!" He says, tucking into his burger and I roll my eyes, looking for a change of subject.

"So, are you all set for fashion week?" I ask him and his eyes glint with enthusiasm as we talk about his job.

"You wouldn't believe how excited I am!" He exclaims, making a couple of people look at us warily.

I smile widely at him.

"And what's your angle this year?" I ask him.

He chuckles.

"My section this year, is 'black, bold and sexy' he says.

"Ouu, like your models are all in black clothes, hair and makeup?!" Crystal asks, clapping her hands excitedly.

Bryce shakes his head.

"No, even better! I'm going to interview as many black models and celebrity as much as I can" he says happily.

"I've set up interviews with Naomi Campbell, Yahara Shahidi, Jessica White, Marsai Martin and plenty more!" He says.

"And what gave you the idea?" I ask and he shrugs.

"Well 'Coleman Enterprises' is black owned... so why not reflect what we show?" He asks, taking a sip of his milkshake from his straw.

"Good for you Bryce" I tell him.

I nod and then continue eating my food. 

We continue to eat and talk about work, and when we are done, Bryce insists on paying for 'his favourite girls' and then we leave.

"You know what?" Crystal says.

"What?" I ask.

"We should celebrate! Tonight after work! We should get drink at that new club" She says excitedly, bouncing around in her seat.

"That is literally just another word for noise!" Bryce says.

"It'll be fun!" Crystal says, and Bryce rolls his eyes once again, before finishing off his food.

We talk a little bit more about going to the club tonight and we also agree that I can take a couple of my siblings if they are not at work.

Crystal will come over to help me pick an outfit and then we'll meet Bryce there.

Hey all!

I'm sorry that I had to leave it there, because I want the next scene to be for the club and I have big ideas for it!
