Imani

"I've yet to hear him ask." Kenzo said, shaking his head. He turned his attention to the couple, still quite invested in whatever situation was going on over there. He assumed the man must have money or clout 'cause there was no way it was the date that got him a date with a baddie like that. "Way out of his league. Should I do her that favor?" Kenzo said, turning back to look at Imani with a playful smirk tugging on the corners of his lips. "I don't know, I usually like to be the ten in my relationships." he added, jokingly.

"He seems like a dweeb." She raised a brow as he looked over at the couple again. "Well maybe she is just wanting her food to be paid for. I've been through some shitty dates just for a steak." she said leaning forward to get a better look, and not even attempting to be subtle about it. When Kenzo looked back at her she smiled. "You gonna go rescue her? And if he starts beating you up don't worry, I'll come finish the job" She threw some fake jabs into the air. "And how many relationships have you had?" @fridaynightmuses

Imani had a drink that she had specifically asked the bartender for that had been made to taste like a key lime pie. Aside from that she had a plate of fries and a side of barbecue sauce. "Oh baby... they never get the hint. Guys like that? No. He probably hasn't even asked a single question about her." Imani turned and looked at them before popping a french fry in her mouth. "She's outta his league anyway." Imani crossed one leg over the other accidentally kicking the bar as she did so. "Why, you gonna go ask her to date you instead?" @fridaynightmuses

Lola had so rarely came out recently, but today she decided to embrace her feminine wiles, even if she didn’t always feel the most feminine. She pressed on, her venture taking he through the streets as she checked different stores for how they were displaying their clothing, and getting a little inspiration for future clothing lines along the way. It was nice to get a few compliments here and there too, it was really doing a number for her confidence and how she felt about herself, so another compliment just skyrocketed her confidence. “This one? I really appreciate that, because this is one of my own creations. One of a kind, honey." @xoimani

"Hold the fuck door.... you made that?" Imani pointed to her outfit with her long nails, decorated with gummy bears, "You made that." Imani shook hear head. "How in the hell? Like that shit looks so good. I woulda thought you got it from like.. one of these boujie ass stores. How'd you learn to do that?" Imani continued to look at the outfit. "You have like an Etsy or something or Instagram I could follow? You sell your stuff?" Imani spoke too quickly while excited, but she hoped the girl could understand. @lolahw

Eli’s brow arched just a little at her comment, he couldn’t help feeling like he was hitting a different note here. “We’re biting into people now? Color me intrigued, just who are we biting into here?” He asked, but something inside him had the feeling she wasn’t really going to give a full answer to that question. “I mean, not a chef, you don’t want me cooking, but it is my restaurant, owner, I’m just always here making sure it’s running well.” @xoimani

"Oh no... not really... I was just joking... cuz like earlier you said you was the main course? Sorry, my brain is a little sleepy I just finished my shift at Friends of Judy's. I don't really bite people. Unless they pay me to." She laughed awkwardly and shrugged her shoulders. "Oh shit.. you own this?" Imani looked at the building, even though they were in the back alley. "I gotta ask... do you get the chefs to make you food every day? Cuz I sure would. I hate cooking, but I love eating." @elimatherss

Eli took a seat on one of the little stools he’d set out the back, it was something necessary when it came time to have breaks. Especially after working himself and seeing that there was nothing for anyone to relax with when it came to his staff taking breaks. Eli held his arms open and chuckled, “No, very real, just very ready to go home so I might be looking a little robotic.” He chuckled, taking another drag on his vape. “Oh vape people? I only use my vape when I’m working so the customers don’t smell the cig on me, kinda feels rude. But I’ll cig any other time… This place is called The Strip Joint, steakhouse. Thought it was a good pun.” @xoimani

Imani smiled and walked a little further into the alley. "I don't have the best eyes so it's not you, it's me." She smiled, nodding when he mentions vape people. "Oh yeah. I mean don't get me wrong, do your thing. I just mean if I was biting into someone... you know what.... I'm not gonna finish that thought." She wiggled her fingers as if to brush the icky thought away. "Oh damn. Glad you told me it was a steakhouse or I would have been walking in to audition and confused the fuck out of everyone. You like a chef then?" @elimatherss

Who: Open Where: The Strip Joint Steakhouse

Imani was walking home from the bar having completed a rare day shift. She usually was the night-time girl, but someone was sick so she got called in. Wearing her usual revealing and neon clothing that nearly could be considered 'rave-wear' she stopped near an alley seeing some guy standing there. Not realizing she was staring she laughed. "Oh shit.. you are real. I don't have good eyes... I thought for a second you were like... a mannequin or something. " Watching him curiously she shook her head. "Nah I don't eat people. And if I did, I wouldn't go for a vape kind. What is this place called?" She looked up hoping to see a visible sign from the alley but didn't.
