I walked over to the door to open it. I took a deep breath and flattened out my top before opening the door.
He had flowers in his hand. That was unexpected. Was this a date or just chillin?
"Hi," I said to him and opened the door wider so he could step in and that's what he did.
"Wassup," he said and handed me the flowers.
"Thank you, they are absolutely gorgeous," I said, referring to the flowers, Â as I walked to the kitchen to put them in a vase. He had got me white roses. I absolutely love roses so this definitely gives him some brownie points even though he didn't know they were my favorite flowers.
"No problem, mami."
After I finished setting the flowers up, I told him I had to go grab my stuff before we leave so I went to my room and grabbed my crossbody bag and phone before peeking into Imani's room to tell her bye and remind her not to eat all my food.
When I came back he said, "You got somebody here?"
"Yeah, my bestie is staying over," I said as I started walking towards the door. he must have heard me talking to her.
We walked to his car. He had a very nice car. I think it was a BMW m4. I'm not too good with cars but I know a couple of nice cars when I see them.
He opened the passenger seat for me. "Thank you," I smiled as I slid into the seat.
He went around the car and got in the drivers seat.
"So where are we going?" I asked. I knew we were going to smoke but where?
"Don't worry about it, mami," he said with a smirk on his face.
"Well Im not trynna get kidnapped so... let me know nigga."
"Im taking you to a spot where there's a good view of the city."
I nodded my head with a smirk on my face but didn't say anything. It's giving all romantic and shit but I can't be thinking all that when I just met the nigga and he probably just wanna be friends.
About 10 minutes later we arrived to the spot and it was absolutely gorgeous. He parked the car and pulled out a wood and started rolling up.
"The city is really beautiful from here."
"So tell me about you," he said
"Ummm... I don't know what to tell you, there isn't much to know about me."
He finished rolling and sparked up. He took a pull and passed it to me, "I saw your insta, you do your thing with nails"
He exhaled the smoke from his mouth in a direction that was out of my face and it was so sexy bruh. I wanna kiss this nigga and I barely know him. Everything about his face from his lips to the tat about his eyebrow. He could fuck me in this car right now if he wanted. He turned back to look at me with that fine ass smirk on his face and broke me out of my silence.
"Um, yea. I've been doing nails for a lil bit. You got a job?"
"Hell yeah I got a job. How you think I got this expensive ass car"
I didn't wanna ask him what he did because it probably wasn't something he was gonna tell me anyway. Though I shouldn't assume, I still wasn't gonna ask.
I took a couple more pulls from the blunt and handed it back to him.
"You kinda quiet, you know that?"
I fiddled with my fingers, "Yeah. I have anxiety and I'm not very talkative around new people. That's why when we first met, I went into the room alone and took some pills."
"Well you ain't gotta be shy around me."
"I know that but I still hardly know you so my mind is telling me to be nervous and keep my guard up"
We passed the blunt a couple more times before he put it out. We made small talk too but it was very small. I don't even know if he's ever gonna talk to me again once he drops me off at my apartment because I barely entertained the nigga. I was so fucking awkward. I sat there fiddling with my thumbs like little kid and barely made eye contact with him. It was too intense. When I looked into his light brown eyes, it was like butterflies were flying around in my stomach but that may have just been the anxiousness as well.
He dropped me off at my apartment and before I got out of the car I turned in the seat to look at him for what felt like only the second time tonight.
"Im sorry for being so awkward tonight and I totally understand if you wanna stop talking to me... not that we were really talking at all but like staying in contact or whatever," I kind of talked fast and quietly and at one point I had stopped looking at him so...
I feel stupid as fuckkkkk.
He chuckled a little, "You're good, mami. Imma let you go and take your medicine because I have a feeling that your anxiety is high as a bitch right now. Just message me when you're about to go to bed. Alright?"
"Mk. Thanks for tonight." I got out of the car and walked to my apartment.
It was mad silent so I assumed that Imani was asleep because she usually got the tv volume high as a motherfucker like she's deaf or some shit. I went to the kitchen to take my meds, then turned off the lights in the kitchen and made my way to my room. I will fill her in once I wake up in the morning.
I took a quick shower and wrapped up my hair before getting into bed. I remembered that he wanted me to text him but I was unsure if I should do it or not because he was probably just saying it to be nice.
Like I said earlier, he probably is gonna stop talking to me after how I acted tonight so I didn't message him and went to sleep.
