"What's your name?", a guy she was serving asked
It just hit 1am which meant two hours left till her shift was over.
She was already tired and being around the flashing lights and noise just somehow made it worse.
She pointed at her name tag, "Solene. Marlin get your friend". Marlin was Joy's cousin
Marlin smacked the guy upside his head, "Dumbass question, Relly"
Relly rubbed his head to ease the pain, "How?"
"Nigga, my name tag can't be that small." , she shook her head handing the guys more drinks
A guy with an all black outfit walked to the table greeting the guys.
"Solene!, need a henny over here", Marlin yelled pointing at the guy with the black fit
Joy nodded her head pour a glass of Hennessey passing it to him.
The guy took his cap off revealing the guy from the park.
He too recognized her and smirked squinting his eyes at her name tag, "Fake name?"
Joy shook her head, "Second name"
"Yo', Santana." , a bypasser greeted the guy referred to as 'Uncle S'
Joy laughed, "Gang name?". She asked already knowing that it was
"Whatever". Santana grumbled making her laugh even more
"You work here?", he asked
She held up her name tag, "Like..."
He chuckled sipping his drink, "Ayt, ma bad"
"Like, whatchu doing out", she asked
He shrugged, "Chilling, how you know this nigga". Hs said pointing Marlin
"Cousin"
He rose his eybrow, "word?"
She nodded her head.
They began to talk about nothing in particular while she served drinks in between.
It hit 3am, meaning her shift was over.
She took off her work apron, throwing it carelessly on the floor and took her phone since it was all she'd brought with her.
She walked up to Santana as he spoke, "You got a ride home?"
She shook her head, "these legs got me to work, they can take me home". She said making him chuckle
He shrugged, "Lemme drive you home". Joy scrunched her face up
She knew not to trust anyone and as much as she'd enjoyed Santana's company, she didn't want him to take her home
"Tuh, I don't think so", She shook her head
He sucked his teeth, "C'mon. Just gon' take you home"
"Marlin!". She called out
Marlin looked over to hear, "What?"
She pointed to Santana, "I can trust him to take me home, he ain't pussy?". She asked making the three men laugh
Marlin nodded his head, "Tana a good one". Santana smirked hearing this and turn to Joy, "Can I take you home?"
Joy nodded her head, "Okay"
