Friendly Fun
INVOLVED: Mia Carter, Tyler Carter, Nova Taylor, and Aaron Moore TIME FRAME: Wednesday, April 1, 2020 LOCATION: Waikiki Aquarium; Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii SUMMARY: The group go out for some fun.
Tyler walked through the aquarium, his arm around Mia’s shoulder, his hand rubbing her arm lovingly as they walked, and he handed her the ice cream cone he had just bought with a smirk. “Here ya go,” he said knowingly as he handed it over. He smiled at her before turning his eyes, looking at the array of colorful fish as they walked through the glass tunnel.
Mia adjusted the front of the sundress she was wearing; they were out enjoying activities and her ankles were not swollen which was something she was grateful for. She knew it had concerned him previously and herself, but she didn’t want to worry on this trip, and she didn’t want him to either. As they walked and he handed her the ice cream cone she smirked at him, accepting it and giving it a lick. “You don’t want any?” she asked, holding the small Jacquemus bag in her other hand as they strolled.
Nova drank a little water down from the bottle she had as she and Aaron followed behind Mia and Tyler. As they moved through the aquarium, she smirked to herself, she held the bottle of water in the same hand her Prada bag was in and she reached for his. Soon enough they enjoy moments like this with their son, showing him new sights and educating him on the world around them.
Aaron walked, trailing behind Tyler and Mia with Nova. He looked around at all the fish and he smirked slightly. This place was pretty cool. Looking to Nova as she grabbed his hand, he smiled and tugged her closer. He pulled her to his chest, pressing a kiss to her hair as they walked. “What you thinking about?” he asked her lovingly.
Smiling softly, Tyler looked at Mia and said, “no, I’m okay, I bought it for you.” He slid his arm from around her shoulder hugging her close by her waist. Leaning down some, he nuzzled the side of her face a bit. “You feeling okay?” he asked her now in a whisper as they walked.
Mia smirked at Tyler again and he hugged her close, she licked the ice cream cone once more and smiled “thank you baby” she told him gently. At his question she looked into his eyes “yeah” she said nodding her head “I feel fine” she told him honestly.
Nova looked at Aaron pulling her eyes from the massive shark that swam by and she sighed softly as she grinned. “Picturing us taking bean to an aquarium” she confessed. “I know it sounds crazy,” she said, chuckling a little. “But I was just thinking how wild it will be that we will get to show him these things and educate him on it” she said looking at the fish.
Aaron watched the giant shark swim by, and he had to do a double take. Why in the hell was a shark in the tank with all the little fish? He had no idea. Looking back at Nova, he smiled at the thought and he placed his hand on her belly. “That’s not crazy,” he said softly. “I picture us with him too,” he admitted, chuckling. “It is wild though,” he added with a smirk as he rubbed her belly. “Who do you think he’s going to look like more?” he asked her curiously. He had a feeling it was going to be him; he had some pretty strong genes in his family.
Tyler walked idly, looking around a bit as he did. “You’re welcome baby,” he said as he looked down at her, giving her a small squeeze. As she explained that she felt fine, he nodded and pressed a kiss to her temple. “Okay baby,” he said gently. As they moved into the giant, circular room, Tyler smirked. “Damn,” he said looking around at the massive shark before his eyes moved to the turtles.
Mia smiled, eyes closing as he kissed her forehead, she looked up at him and said, “I would tell you if I didn’t feel like myself baby,” she reassured him. As they moved to the next spot, Mia licked the cone twice taking in the large sea animals. She looked at the massive turtle and she said “look how big this thing is” pointing with her finger before she licked the ice cream again. “I can’t believe there are things this huge in the ocean swimming around” she told them.
Nova looked at Aaron and she looked down at her stomach poking out in her dress. She never admitted it to him, but she loved when he rested his hand on her stomach. Mainly because of how calm and soothed their son became but also because of the love she felt in each touch. “You” she said easily with a shrug “I just want him to have those dimples” she said looking up at Aaron, she pecked his cheek. As they moved into the next space she looked around before she looked at Mia chuckling “right” she said to her.
Aaron rubbed her belly gently, moving his hand in slow soothing circles idly as they moved. “Oh, just my dimples, huh?” he questioned her with a wide smile, his talked about dimples creasing through his thick beard. “You can’t even see them,” he chuckled. As they moved into the large, open area, he looked up, eyeing all the variety of fish and sea creatures. “Wow,” he breathed. “Remind me to never get in the ocean again,” he chuckled.
“I know baby,” Tyler said gently, rubbing his hand up and down her side. Looking to where Mia, pointed, Tyler chuckled. “Yeah, when you think about it, it’s actually kind of eerie,” he said. “The ocean is so vast, and we don’t even know half of what's down there,” he said, getting a chill at the thought.
Mia licked at the cone once more looking up at Tyler with a smirk as he spoke. “You nerd” she joked, chuckling a little at him before she looked back in the tank. At Aaron’s words she looked back at him and smirked, licking her cone before she bit off the top of the vanilla ice cream, chewing it a little as it melted in her mouth.
Nova looked at Aaron and nodded her head “yeah” she said softly before she chuckled. “But I know they are there” she added with a wink as he smiled at her. “It’s beautiful though” she added in behind all of them as she watched the fish move.
Aaron smirked at Nova’s words and he asked, “think I should trim the beard down?” curiously, nuzzling her a bit with his beard. Looking around them, he nodded and said, “it is, it really is,” spotting a bench as people stood up from it, he ushered Nova over quickly, sitting down himself before he pulled her down in his lap, his hands on her belly once more.
Scrunching his nose at Mia, Tyler snorted. “That is common knowledge,” he said with a shake of his head and a smile. Watching Nova and Aaron sit down, Tyler walked Mia over, sitting as well, he gripped her full hips, bringing her down into his lap. “So, what do you guys want to do next today?” he asked curiously.
Mia giggled softly at Tyler “mhm” she said teasingly before she bit into the cone munching lightly. As Tyler brought her over to the bench, gripping her hips and resting her in his lap she munched quietly to herself. However, at his question she licked her lips and said “let’s go to that one eating spot with the music and stuff” she said as she bit into the cone again. “I think it was by the beach,” she said softly.
Nova moved with Aaron easily “I kinda like the beard” she chuckled “giving me papa Moore vibes” she chuckled lightly before she took a sip of her water once more. He sat down and brought her down with him and he looked at him offering him some water. “Want some?” she said to him before she looked at Tyler. “Um” she said thinking to herself as Mia spoke up with an idea.
Aaron laughed out at Nova’s words. “Papa Moore?” he asked her, “yeah it’s getting trimmed,” he said easily. “Just because I am a dad doesn’t mean I want to look like a dad,” he said smirking. At her offer of water, he nodded, “yeah,” he said as he took it from her, sipping a bit down. Looking at Tyler and Mia as they spoke, and Mia thought of something he pulled the bottle from his lips. “Yes, food,” he chuckled.
Tyler looked at Nova and Aaron, then at Mia as she suggested the eating place and he nodded, “okay, good, ‘cause I’m hungry,” he smirked.
Tyler sat at the table, gazing over the menu with a hum. There were a lot of options. Looking around, he asked, “what y’all getting?” Reaching over, he placed his hand around Mia’s thigh lovingly.
Mia looked at the menu cutting out of the seafood considering she thought about what she wanted from the remaining items that were available. She licked her lips and said “I don’t know yet, maybe ribs” she breathed “or chicken” she said to her husband.
Nova looked at the menu, she couldn’t decide what she wanted. She was probably going to have a salad and make a bunch of changes to it. “I don’t know yet” she told Tyler as she sat in the nice breezy air, it was beautiful out and very worth eating outside to enjoy it.
Aaron gazed over the menu, looking at the variety and he shrugged a bit. “I’m torn between the Loco Moco and the Huli Style Roasted Chicken,” he admitted. “I think I’m going to go with the Loco Moco though,” he said as he lifted his head slowly, looking at Tyler before he glanced over to the beautiful beach.
Tyler listened to everyone as she spoke and he nodded slowly, looking back down at his menu. “Hmm,” he said biting his lip. “I might do the Sauteed Salmon,” he said, “or the Spaghetti Bolognaise,” he shrugged some as he picked up his glass of water, taking a sip. He sat his menu down before returning his hand to Mia’s thigh under the table, rubbing her there lovingly.
Mia looked to Aaron and Tyler as they spoke, she nodded her head at them before she looked back down. She felt Tyler’s hand and she smirked to herself gently before she decided on what she was going to get and sat the menu down. “Are we doing any starters?” she asked them.
Nova looked at Aaron before she looked down at the menu in front of her, she tucked her leg beneath her in the chair fixing her dress around her as before she placed her hand on her stomach. “I say the guava chicken wings if we do,” she told Mia.
Aaron shifted in his chair slightly, looking over at Tyler as he spoke and he nodded, “sounds good,” he said before looking at Mia, then Nova. “I’m always down for some wigs,” he smirked, “we could get the Acai Papaya Boat too,” he suggested.
Tyler sat his menu down now, looking over at Mia as his hand continued to rub her thigh. “Get whatever you guys want,” Tyler offered as Mia mentioned starters. He looked back at the menu, eyeing the options Nova and Aaron laid out and he said, “sounds good to me,” he said with a small smirk before he leaned over, pressing a kiss to Mia’s jawline.
Mia smirked widely at the group and she nodded her head, as long as she got wings for a starter, she didn’t care what else was added to the order. “Wings, yes,” she said with a smirk on her face and Tyler leaned over to kiss her. Mia leaned in a little closer to him resting her head on his arm before she leaned up fixing her dress again. Noting to herself that the dress was cut far too low for all the boobage she was sporting.
Nova looked at Aaron wiggling her brows, wings they would have apparently so that she was happy and excited about. She rubbed her stomach gently before she grabbed Aaron’s hand and pressed it into her side as their son moved.
Aaron nodded his head at everyone, and he looked over at Nova as she grabbed his hand. He pressed it into the side of her belly, smiling softly at the feel of their little bean moving. “He’s so active,” he mused with a smirk.
Tyler smiled at Mia and he chuckled as she leaned over, resting into him, Tyler pressed a kiss to her temple. Looking around, he let out a content sigh.
The waitress walked over to the table with a small smile. “Are you all ready to place your orders?” she asked curiously as she stood there, holding her notepad and pen ready to write.
Mia blinked slowly before she pushed long braids over her shoulder gently, she looked to the waitress and she nodded her head. “Yes” she said before she told her “as a starter we would love the guava wings and the acai boat” she told her. “And I think we all can order food as well” she said looking at everyone else. “I wanted the loco moco” she said softly “no kimchee though” she said politely.
Nova nodded at Aaron “I know it’s crazy, this kid doesn’t rest” she breathed as the child continued to move, seemingly doing flips in her stomach. She chuckled at him and shook her head before she looked at the waitress. “I want the harvest salad with added chicken breast” she told the girl next. “Can I have Caesar dressing, instead of the one that comes with it” she told her. “And just a side of French fries” she said sheepishly.
Aaron looked up as the waitress approached their table. He looked at Mia, then at Nova as they ordered and he said, “I’ll take the Loco Moco as well, hold the kimchee.” He looked over the menu a bit more before he added, “if possible, can we change that white rice to brown rice?”
Tyler looked Mia over lovingly before the waitress approached and he looked at the woman as everyone ordered. Licking his lips, he said, “may I have the Spaghetti Bolognaise with a side of grilled Salmon?”
The young Hawaiian woman nodded as she began to write the orders down one by one, making eye contact with everyone briefly as they spoke. “Brown rice,” she mumbled to herself as she scribbled it all down, nodding a bit more. When she was finished, she asked, “would you like something else?” as she began to tuck the pad away in her apron, moving to collect their menus.
Mia hummed to herself gently as everyone ordered their food and she licked her lips. “I’ll be back” she told them as she got up, she moved towards the inside of the building to find a restroom.
Nova looked at the woman as she scribbled everything down and she said to her “may I have lemons for my water, and I think that’s fine” she said to her nodding her head. She watched Mia leave to go use the restroom and she sat back still holding Aaron’s hand against her stomach even as their son settled down.
Aaron looked back at the waitress shaking his head. “No thank you,” he said for himself, glancing at Mia as she excused herself from the table. Looking back to Nova, he smirked, and he asked, “have you come up with any names?
Tyler shook his head at the woman before looking to Mia. “Okay babe,” he said easily as she got up from the table and he watched the sway of her thick hips. Looking over at Nova, Tyler asked. “How far along are you again?
The waitress nodded at the couples and she jotted down, the lemons for Nova before she said, “alright I’ll go put this in for you all and I’ll be right back with your lemons,” she said before she moved to walk away.
Nova looked at Aaron and shook her head gently “not yet, not any that have stuck out” she said quietly. “But I have been looking,” she told him sweetly. At Tyler’s question she smirked and said “26 weeks” she said with a smirk as she looked at Aaron. “You are going to blink, and he’ll be here, you’ll be a whole god dad” she chuckled looking at Aaron again.
Aaron nodded slowly at Nova, licking his lips as he gripped the bottom of her chair with his freehand, pulling her closer to him. “No rush,” he told her with a hum. Glancing at Tyler, he smirked his hand still rubbing Nova’s protruding belly. “Yeah, so be prepared to babysit before yours gets here so mom and dad can have a moment of peace,” he chuckled.
Tyler smirked, looking across at Nova and Aaron and he said, “I actually wouldn’t like that it’ll be good practice.” He chuckled a bit. “I’ll teach him about basketball and girls,” he said easily.
Returning to the table, the waitress placed down a small plate of lemon wedges, “here you go,” she said sweetly before she looked around the table. “Your appetizers will be out shortly,” she said before she scurried away.
Nova looked to Aaron and she nodded at his words, as he rubbed her stomach and she leaned into him a bit. “That would be good practice, for you and Mia” she said with a smirk. “We will have to set this up” she chuckled looking at Aaron. “Girls” she said offering him a knowing look “I hope the right things about girls, right?” she asked him slyly. “Thank you” she told the woman as she placed the lemon in the water.
Aaron laughed out at Tyler’s words and he said, “please don’t corrupt our son,” with a smirk. Looking at the waitress as she placed down the plate of lemons, he nodded at her. “Thanks,” he said easily before he looked at Tyler. “How are you feeling about being a dad?” he asked his friend. They honestly hadn’t talked about it.
Tyler looked at Nova and he nodded, “yeah it would be fun,” he said with a hum. “Though I feel like Mia won’t need the practice,” he shrugged, “seems like it just comes natural to mothers,” he said looking over at Nova. “I mean you know I gotta teach little man how to mack,” he said as he began rubbing his hand together like Birdman. At Aaron’s question, Tyler dropped his hands as he shrugged. “Uh, you know, I’m excited,” he said, licking his lips. “It’s going to be an adjustment but I’m eager,” he admitted, as he looked around, wondering what was taking Mia so long.
Mia moved out of the bathroom after having washed her hands and freshened up a bit. She moved back for their table and when she arrived at it, she sat back down in her chair. She fixed the front of her dress once more and she looked to her husband and friends wondering what they were talking about.
Nova looked at Tyler “that’s what they say” she replied back to him easily at his statement. “As Aaron said, please don’t corrupt him” easily as she dropped her hand from Aaron’s now. As he mentioned his feelings towards having a baby with Mia, she smirked gently to herself and she nodded her head at him. “You guys have what it takes,” she said with a soft chuckle before Mia returned and she took a sip from her water glass.
Aaron looked across at Tyler, nodding at his words and he said, “I feel the same way bro.” Looking down at Nova he said, “I’m nervous as fuck but like I’m just ready to hold my son in my arms man,” he admitted. As Mia finally came back to the table, Aaron reached for his glass of water, taking a sip.
Tyler looked across the table at his friends, nodding his head a bit. “I will try my best,” chuckled. As Mia sat back down, Tyler placed his hand back on her thigh easily. “Well thank you,” he said to Nova with a smirk. Looking at Aaron he said, “well you’re more than halfway there…”
Mia looked to Tyler and everyone else, listening to them as they spoke, and she rested her hand on Tyler’s sweetly.
Nova looked at Tyler and said “you are right” with a head nod, they were more than halfway there now. She smiled and looked at Aaron “I can’t wait either” she confessed “that is when the real fun begins” she chuckled.
Aaron looked at Mia and Tyler, then at Nova and he smiled. “Fun?” he questioned, smirking a bit. “I don’t know how fun dirty diapers and 3am feedings will be,” he said, licking his lips knowingly.
Tyler looked at Mia and he leaned into her slightly, nuzzling her neck as he whispered. “You alright?” he turned his palm up on her thigh, taking her hand into his and lacing their fingers. He looked over at Aaron and he smirked. “I mean… sounds like great fun to me.”
The young waitress returned to the table holding a large circular tray. “Sorry to interrupt,” he said quickly. “Here are your appetizers,” she said as she placed the large plate of wings on the table, then the bowl of fruit. “Your entrees are just about done,” she explained, “should be out shortly. Did you all need anything else?” she asked tucking a loose strand of hair that had fallen from her ponytail behind her ear before placing four plates on the table for them.
Mia smirked, closing her eyes as Tyler leaned into her “yes baby” she said, lacing their fingers along with him, she clutched his hand. “You don’t have to worry so much you know; I only went to the restroom” she smiled as she kissed his lips before the starters surfaced. She looked at the woman and nodded her head “thanks” she said to them. Mia grabbed a wing or two, placing it on her plate and tasting them with a hum, she licked her lips slowly before she took another bite, a small moan leaving her.
Nova chuckled at Aaron and Tyler, shaking her head and she looked to the wings happily. “Looks so good” she said softly as she grabbed a few putting them on her plate, she began to snack on them. “These are good,” she said softly to everyone as she cleaned the bone.
Aaron looked at the woman as she placed their appetizers down and he said, “thanks,” as he grabbed a plate and added a few wings to it. He dipped his head, saying a quick prayer before he began to eat one of the wings with a hum. “They are,” he said listening to Mia moan and groan and watching Nova suck her bone clean. He looked across at Tyler with a smirk, shaking his head at their women.
Tyler whispered back to Mia, squeezing her hand. “I know but you were gone for a cool minute,” he said with a small chuckle before he looked at the woman as she placed down the food. He nodded at her saying, “thank you,” as he grabbed a plate. He used his fork and moved a bit of fruit to his plate before he added some chicken. He looked across at Aaron and he snorted at the boy's face, shaking his head as he bit into one of his wings.
Mia licked her lips as she picked up another wing, dropping the clean bone down she moaned against softly as she ate. She was hungry and the food was good, she couldn’t help it. She licked her lips clean of the sauce and she moved to another piece of chicken.
Nova quietly ate, she knocked down three pieces of chicken easy on the plate before she licked her lips and cleaned her hands. She picked up her water and drank it down before she grabbed another piece of chicken.
Aaron snorted at Tyler’s snort and he dropped his head as he cleaned his bone before picking up the next wing from his plate, eating it as he looked at Nova and Mia watching them devour the wings hungrily.
Tyler looked away from Aaron, trying to hold in anymore laughter. Nova and Mia loved food and they were pregnant. No judgement. Looking over at Mia, Tyler licked his lips as he ate his wings. “Good babe?” he asked her softly, trying to hide his amusement.
Mia looked over at Tyler, she dropped another bone saying “mm” to herself quietly as she moved to up another piece of chicken. She watched the men laugh and she raised her brow before she looked at Tyler. “Are y’all picking on us?” she asked in response.
Nova licked her lips again before she added three more wings on her plate and she looked at Aaron and Tyler, before she looked at Mia and back at the men. “Oh, is that what they are doing?” she asked her friends before she looked at Aaron.
Aaron looked at Mia, then at Nova at their words and he looked taken back. “What? Of course not,” he said looking over at Tyler with wide-eyes.
Tyler smiled as Mia said she was enjoying the wings before he choked on his food a bit at her question. “No,” he said quickly, reaching for his water. He took a quick sip, clearing his throat a bit. He looked at Aaron, then at Mia again. “Babe, you know I would never,” he said.
Mia narrowed her eyes at Tyler before she sat another bone down, she raised a brow at him moving to reach for her virgin pina colada. Mia took a sip of her drink for a while before she sat it back down against the table. “Mhm” she said as she looked over at Nova before she sat back in her chair. She had enjoyed her moment with the wings now she was finished.
Nova looked at Aaron and Tyler, she said “oh” before she moved back to her food. She looked at Mia and then picked up another chicken wing still eating the food without a care. Call her what you wanted she didn’t give a fuck; the food was good.
Aaron looked at Tyler and he lifted his eyebrows a bit before he dropped his head, looking at his plate as Mia stopped eating. He ate his wings quietly now, looking at Nova out the corner of his eyes as she continued eating.
Tyler watched Mia as she sat back in her chair and he sighed, “babe,” he said as he wiped his hands on his napkins. “It wasn’t even like that,” he told her as he turned to face her in his chair. “Eat your food,” he said gently.
Mia looked at him and she smirked nodding her head slowly and she licked her lips “I’m finished though” she said honestly as she picked her drink up and sipped it, passive aggressively.
Nova snorted at Mia before she moved to another piece of chicken “we should have ordered two platters” she said amused as she looked at Aaron. “Cat got ya tongue now” she said, nudging him a little.
Aaron looked over at Mia, then at Nova and he said, “nope,” as he ate another wing before he wiped his hands and reached to get some fruit. “Technically I wasn’t talking before,” he said easily.
Tyler nodded slowly at Mia’s words before he looked at Nova and he said, “I can have her put in another order,” easily. Licking his lips, he picked up the next piece of chicken off his plate, eating it without another word.
Mia looked to Nova shaking her head “you are gonna feel all that sodium later” she reminded her easily. Mia licked her lips as she shifted in her seat a bit.
Nova dropped her leg, losing feeling in it now and she shifted in her seat as she looked to Mia. “Do not start” she said too easily “I have gained nothing this entire pregnancy. I can pig out these last 2 weeks. Right A” she said looking at him. “Nah” she said, shaking her head at Tyler. “These are enough...”
Aaron picked up a piece of banana on his fork, eating it easily before he picked up a few berries, eating those too as he listened to Tyler, Mia, and Nova. “I mean…” Aaron shrugged. “If you feel that you want to,” he said, shrugging again.
Tyler nodded slowly at Nova, eating more of his food easily. “Alright,” he told her before he glanced at Mia, licking his lips. He reached for his glass, sipping down more water.
The waitress came back to the table, holding another circular tray and a stand. She carefully set up the stand before she sat the large tray down on it. “Okay so we have…” she trailed off looking at the plates, “a Loco Moco with no kimchee,” she said placing the plate before Mia. “Another Loco Moco with no kimchee and sub for brown rice,” she said as she moved around the table, placing the plate near Aaron. Moving back the tray, she picked up the salad with added chicken and placed it near Nova before she sat down the plate of fries as well, along with the two small dishes of Caesar dressing, “chicken salad and fries,” she hummed out before picking up the last plate and moving around to Tyler, placing her hand on his shoulder as she sat the plate down. “And last but not least spaghetti bolognaise with a side of grilled salmon,” she said as she stood there, hand still on Tyler’s shoulder. “May I get you guys anything else?”
Mia looked to Nova and raised her hand “fine” she said with a chuckle. She looked as the woman brought the food finally and she looked at it with a smile of appreciation. She smiled at her and said “thank you” as easily as her, everything was correct and in order. She looked over at Tyler’s food before she looked at the woman, looking at her hand and she pulled her eyes away before she looked at Nova and then down at her plate. “Yeah, it all looks perfect,” she said.
Tilting her head Nova, looked at Aaron before she looked away from him rolling her eyes a little. She will forever hate that about him truly. As the food came and was placed before them, she smiled at the woman thankfully before she said “looks good” she said softly “everything looks good” she breathed.
Aaron looked at Nova as she rolled her eyes at him and he said, “what?” quietly before the waitress returned, handing out their plates. “Thanks,” he said easily, looking his plate over with a nod of approval before he looked up, eyeing the waitress with a raised eyebrow at her hand on Tyler’s shoulder.
Tyler sat his glass down, looking at the waitress as she returned. He watched as she passed out plates before she sat his down and lingered at his side. He turned his head, looking at her slightly until she placed her hand on his shoulder and he squinted a bit. He reached over and picked her hand up by one of her fingers, moving it off of him easily before he said, “this is good, thank you…” Shaking his head at the woman’s antics.
Mia grabbed her fork, clearing her throat gently choosing not to say anything, the more things like this happened the more she told herself that it was simply something she had to deal with while being with him. She forked some rice into her mouth as she ate quietly to herself. It was kind of embarrassing for it to happen in front of their friends.
Nova looked at the woman, tilting her head at the girl did she want her ass to be beaten. She looked at Aaron at his words and she said nothing looking at Mia for a moment before she looked down. Awkward. She licked her lips and moved to dress up her salad.
Aaron looked at the woman as she continued to stand there, and he cleared his throat as he picked up his fork and knife separating his ribs a bit. With that done, he picked one up, biting into it hungrily.
Tyler looked over at Mia, then at Nova and Aaron before back at their waitress. “We’re good, you can go,” he told her easily as he eyed her up and down, a bit upset by her actions. Picking up his fork, he broke into the salmon before he dug the piece up bringing it to his mouth.
The young woman stood there, shocked by Tyler’s actions and when he told her to go, she frowned a bit before she quickly moved to collect the tray and the stand, rushing off.
Mia picked a rib up and she bit it hungrily, humming at the taste and she placed the bone back down gently as she forked some sides into her mouth. She looked back up looking over at Tyler for a moment before she picked her bone back up.
Nova looked at Tyler and the woman before she looked at Aaron. If the shoes were on the other foot, she would have knocked his ass out by now. Tyler never did anything else in private why shame the woman in private now? He should have barked at her with the same force he did with her during UNO for embarrassing Mia. But who was she was to judge; her boyfriend never gave a fuck most times?
Aaron was quiet as he ate his meal and he mumbled, “it’s good,” as he munched on his ribs. He was shocked that Tyler hadn’t said more to the woman at her actions, his friend was usually zero to one hundred. However, it wasn’t any of his business at the end of the day.
Tyler spun his fork around his spaghetti a bit before he ate some, slurping just slightly as he did. Tyler looked at Mia as she looked at him before he returned his eyes to his plate. She had begged him over and over again to calm down and to not get so riled up about things. So, he was heeding her words, finally, though deep down, he was pissed. That woman knew damn well there were two couples at the table, and she had no business trying to get his attention like that, especially not in front of Mia. His nostrils flared a bit as he reached for his glass, taking another sip of his water.
Mia cleaned the bone; the food was good, and she nodded her head at Aaron as he confirmed it for them both. “How is your food babe?” she asked him sweetly.
Nova looked to Aaron and said “good” back to him as he continued to eat his food and she forked a piece of chicken into her mouth with a smirk. It was a salad, but it was a good salad so though she didn’t pick anything heavy she was enjoying her meal.
Aaron smiled at Nova slightly as he nodded. “Your food good?” he asked her now, licking his lips before he forked some of his rice into his mouth. Looking over at Mia and Tyler, he just watched the two of them.
Tyler ate more of his spaghetti and bolognaise before he returned to his salmon, breaking off pieces at a time with his fork. “It’s good,” he said to Mia, looking over at her, his eyes saying it all, about how he felt about the waitress.
Mia moved her clean hand to rest against Tyler’s thigh, she picked her fork up and ate more food. “Good” she said in response to him gently as she forked more food into her mouth.
Nova nodded her head at Aaron “for a chicken salad, yes” she said smirking at him. She sat her fork down drinking some water down before she picked her fork backup and ate a little more.
Aaron nodded at Nova and he said, “good,” before he looked back to Tyler and Mia. He eyed them before he looked at Nova again. Eating more of his ribs, he sucked the bone a bit before he said, “I’m surprised the food is so good.”
Tyler gazed at Mia as she placed her hand on his thigh and he reached down, placing his hand on top of hers, giving it a squeeze before he sighed out. “Yeah it’s pretty good,” he said, licking his lips as he returned to his spaghetti. “Did anyone want dessert?” he asked.
Mia looked at Tyler and she nodded her head at him, he having repeated what everyone kept saying at the table. She licked her lips and she nodded her head before she smiled and said “I want the cheesecake” with a chuckle, cheesecake for a favorite of hers.
Nova looked at Tyler and Aaron, she raised a brow and said “okay, the food is good it ain’t that good” cutting the bullshit out. “We can definitely say something to her damn boss” she said seriously. “She can’t do inappropriate shit like that to people, man” she said.
Aaron nodded at Tyler then looked to Mia as she spoke. “I think I saw key lime pie on the menu,” he said thoughtfully before he looked at Nova. He licked his lips a bit before he said, “shit was definitely out of line.”
Tyler nodded at Mia’s dessert order before he looked at Nova, then at Aaron. “I’ma handle it,” he said easily as he forked more bolognaise into his mouth. “Key lime pie,” he said with a nod, “and cheesecake,” he looked at Mia, then nova, “dessert?” he asked her.
Mia looked at Tyler, she grabbed her glass and sipped through her straw at his words. She sat her cup back down and said nothing in response to him.
Nova looked at Aaron, Mia, and then Tyler before she said “I guess cheesecake too” sweetly as he asked her what she wanted again. She looked at Aaron again before she said “babe let me have a rib” with a smirk.
Aaron looked at Nova as she asked for cheesecake too before he smirked at her. He picked up one of the last two ribs and handed it to her with a smile.
Tyler nodded at Nova before he moved to stand up. “I’ll go put in the orders,” he said as he began to walk away from the table.
Mia looked at Tyler as he moved to stand up “I can go babe, and you f-finish your food. Because I am full” she lied to him easily as she licked her lips looking to Aaron.
Nova looked at Aaron with a smirk and she grabbed the rib biting into it, as Tyler got up and left the table. She moaned at the taste of the rib as before she licked her lips slowly and looked at Aaron.
Aaron looked at Nova, smiling as she bit into the rib before he looked at Tyler, watching his friend get up from the table. He pulled his bottom lip into his mouth. This could be very bad, he thought to himself as Mia stood up.
Tyler looked back at Mia. “Nah, babe it’s okay, I got it,” he said as he continued on.
Mia nodded her head at him, sitting back down and tucking her lips. She looked at Aaron and said “go stop him A, he may listen to you” she said quietly.
Nova looked at Tyler and then Mia before she looked at Aaron giving him a knowing look along with Mia’s words.
Aaron looked at Mia, then at Nova. “From what getting desserts?” he asked them confused. “Tyler not about to do nothing,” he said even as he moved to get up anyway. He walked in the direction his friend had.
Tyler moved into the restaurant, looking for the waitress and when he found her, he said, “excuse me,” to the people at the table she was talking to as he grabbed her by her arm and shoved her towards the back of the restaurant. He gripped her arm tightly as he forced her into a cleaning closet before he shut the door and he flicked on the light. He gazed down at the clearly scared young woman and he sneered at her. “That is my wife!” he screamed into her face. “I don’t know what the fuck, you called yourself doing, but don’t get fucked up,” he huffed, his chest rising and falling. “That’s rude as fuck to sit there and try and come into my in front of her and all of my friends and don’t play stupid and act like you didn’t fucking know we were together,” he sneered at her. “You saw us come in,” he huffed as he slammed her back into the wall hard. He let her go before he turned the light back off and he punched the wall beside her head before walking out the room casually, flexing his hand a bit.
Mia watched as Aaron got up to follow behind Tyler and she looked at him thankful for what he was about to do. She looked at Nova and said “he gets so angry; I can’t get through to him sometimes” she said sadly.
Nova looked at Aaron as he left, and he looked at Mia nodding her head “I get it” she said softly. “Tyler has always had a temper” she sighed, “Aaron will calm him down it’ll be fine” she said.
Aaron moved into the restaurant, rubbing the back of his neck a bit as he looked around for Tyler. He turned in a full circle in the middle of the restaurant before he saw Tyler and he walked over to him, looking down at his hand as he flexed it and Aaron sighed, “what did you do?” he asked, shaking his head.
Tyler looked up to see Aaron and he squinted slightly at his friend. “I handled it,” he said before he flexed his hand one more time. He clapped his hand against Aaron’s shoulder before he walked off, moving to the other side of the restaurant so he could place the order for the desserts.
Mia looked to Nova, before she looked back towards the restaurant nervously. Maybe her friend was right, they were on vacation he could have just been getting dessert.
Nova looked at Mia for a moment before she said “don’t worry” to her and she then continued to eat her food idly.
Aaron shook his head at his friend, and he looked in the direction Tyler came from, not seeing anything. Licking his lips, he turned and followed Tyler over to order the desserts. “Man, what happened to your hand?” he asked.
Tyler placed the order with another waiter before he turned to Aaron. “I took my anger out on a wall,” he said easily before he shoved his hand into his pocket and moved to head back outside. Getting to the table, Tyler sat down and said, “dessert should be out shortly.”
Mia looked to her husband as he surfaced and her heart raced, “everything is okay right?” she asked him, turning in the direction of his chair.
Nova licked her lips as she stole Aaron’s other rib, eating that too and when she was finished, she grabbed the Caesar dressing and she ate her fries dipping them in it as Tyler returned.
Aaron moved behind Tyler, following the man back outside and he sat down in his chair, looking to his plate before he looked at Nova. “The last rib tho?” he questioned her with a deep sigh.
Tyler looked at Mia and he picked the fork back up, flexing his hand a bit still. “Yeah, everything fine,” he said as he swirled some spaghetti around before placing it into his mouth with a slurp.
