I looked up from looking at Terrell in his stroller, and noticed Shamar stepping in the elevator.
"Hello. How are you doing?"
I looked him up and down before replying to what he said.
"Hey. Good and you?"
He was a very attractive man from his chocolate skin, to his nicelyâ fresh haircut and goatee he was sporting very well.
"Good. I've just been working alot."
He then began to give me the look I was giving him.
"Well that's what business men do, especially lawyers. I always wanted to be one."
"Yeahâ that's true. And why don't you become one?"
"Long story. But the short version is family is more important, when their all you have left."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"Your ok."
It turned into a awkward silence as three more people got on the elevator. So Shamar decided to stand closer next to me.
"Awwwww you guys are so cute."
An older Indian women said, while she looked at us in amazement.
"Well n-"
"Thank you."
He turned and smiled at me, before he poked me in back.
"So how old is the baby?"
"Four months."
I smiled happily thinking about how big, and old he's getting.
"Oh wow. He's such a cutie pie. Planning on having anymore?"
I was going to shake my head but Terrell caught my attention by kicking his feet.
"Yup we sure do."
I was shocked at what he said, then the elevator doors opened. Then he pushed Terrell's stroller out the elevator.
"I wish you guys the best of luck on your family."
"Thank you."
She followed behind is out the elevator, going to a door and scanning her ID before she disappeared in a door. We walked out the hospital to the parking garage.
"So we're a family now?"
"Not yet we just gonna start this relationship off right by being friends."
"Ok. So stranger friend let's do something."
"Ight. So where's your car?"
"Right here."
"This a nice as car."
"Thanks."
"So where'd you park?"
"I didn't drive my car here I got a Uber."
"Really?"
"Yeahâ. I didn't feel like driving."
"Oh ok. Sooooooo."
"So let me get your number Rain."
I looked at him and laughed.
"You want my number?"
"Yeahâ. What's wrong with that?"
I looked at him and wanted to ask him was he stupid.
"How old are you?"
"I just turned twenty-oneâ."
"Yup we gon only be friends nothing more."
"Why not?"
"Doesn't matter. Do you want me to take you to your next destination?"
He looked at me with a huge smile on his face showing his perfectly straight white teeth.
"That sounds nice."
After he secured Terrell's seat in he pressed the button to fold the stroller and then put it in the truck. Then he got in the car.
I started the car after making sure everyone was secure, and backed out the park and down the ramp to get to the exit.
"So who's the lucky guy that got you to have there son?"
I shook my shoulders and gave him a simple answer.
"There's no lucky guy that's my brother."
"What!?"
He turned his body towards me and gave me his full attention. His face was priceless, it was full of surprise. To bad I was driving or I would've took my phone out and snapped a picture.
"Yup."
"Anyways how many kids you got?"
I gave him a glace as I stopped at a red light.
"None. Well at least not yet."
"So who's the lucky lady?"
"No one. Well at least not yet."
He took his vibrating phone out his pocket and then started typing fast.
"So who are you waiting on?"
He looked up at me and gave his gorgeous smile only this time his right dimple popped out.
"You."
"You what?"
I had to turn my attention away from him and back to the road because it was green and when I put my foot in the gas it turned yellow.
"I've been waiting for you."
"Your funny."
I continued to drive thinking of some place to stop and get a quick snack or something.
"No I'm serious. You don't remember me."
"No. Where am I suppose to remember you from?"
I side eyed him trying to take in more of his sexy features.
"School."
"School?"
I raised my eyebrows trying to think.
"Yes. By the way you look cute when your thinking."
I pulled the car over at a TGI Fridays parking lot and parked.
"Thank you. But how am I suppose to remember you? You older than me by what five years."
"My senior year you were a freshman and I asked you to prom. You said no."
I looked at him and just stared at him. Then everything slowly started coming together in my head.
"Shamar Moore the valedictorian and top basketball player?"
"Yup."
He had a cocky grin on his face. Lord Jesus why did you replace this angle back in front of me.
"You don't have braces anymore, and you cut your hair off."
"Yup that's me baby."
"Oh wow. You were a cute creepy dude. But now you fine as hell."
"Oh why thank you. You still thick as hell yourself."
"Yeahâ I know, but I don't like it."
"Why not?"
His face that once held that sexy grin was now a serious face.
"To much attention. But how did you become a lawyer in three years?"
I changed the subject not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"I was going to college while in highschool. But we'll talk about you later."
He looked at me giving me a serious look.
Why did I have to bring that up? I'm such a dumbass.
"How did you manage to keep up with everything?"
I responded ignoring hi last comment.
"I don't even know. But all I know is I made it."
"Yes you did."
"Yeahâ."
"Mind if we go and get lunch real quick?"
"No I don't actually."
"Ok."
He got Terrell out and carried him in the restaurant. I can't believe I'm talking to him, I thought I'd never see him again.
"Hello. Welcome to TGI Fridays. How many?"
"Two."
"Would you like a booth?"
"Yeahâ that's cool."
"Ok right this way."
Once we were seated I made Terrell a bottle and then fed him. Then the waiter came.
"Hello my name is Zack and I'll be your waiter, what can I get you?"
"I'll take a strawberry lemonade."
"And for you sir?"
"I'll take a sprite."
"Alright do you know what you want to eat or do you want me to come back?"
"We're ready."
"I'll have the Buffalo wings and Potato skins."
"And for you sir?"
"I'll take the Jack Daniels burger, cooked well done."
"Ok. Is that all?"
"Yes sir."
"Alright I'll bring your drinks shortly."
Thirty minutes in our conversation the food came, and we ate.
Once we finished I decided that it was time for me to drop Shamar off. Then go and visit our mother's grave.
