5:00pm came around and I was flat ironing my hair. I was going back and fourth between outfits and I was actually a little nervous.

I honestly didn’t know what I was stressin about. It’s not like it was a first date or anything.

I had done this before and he seemed to really like me.

I pulled out a black skirt with a slit going up the side, and some black boots. I grabbed a cute white shirt and got dressed. Then I went over to the mirror to see how I looked.

Cute.

My phone began to ring and I picked it up.

“Hello?” I asked already knowing who it was from looking at the caller I.d.

“Its mine Des. He’s mine.”

I smiled. “Congrats”

Troy was quiet on the other end of the phone and I wasn’t sure what he was thinking. “Are you okay babe?” I asked.

“Yeah… Just a little shocked”

“You’re gonna be a great dad”

“I hope so…”

“So whats his name?”

“Elijah… he looks just like me, I went to see him today” He said in a small voice.

“Well, give my godson a big kiss for me when you see him. And tell Yalonda I can baby-sit whenever she needs me too”

“She’d like that… oh she wanted me to tell you to call her too. She said she hasn’t talked to you in a while”

“I know.” There was a knock at my door and I looked up quickly. “Hey Troy, Hun?”

“Yeah?”

“I’m gonna call you when I get in okay?”

“okay, be safe”

“Will do”

I hung up the phone and went to answer the door.

“Hey pretty lady” He said as he came in.

I laughed and glanced at the clock. “You’re early, it’s only 5:20”

“Yeah, now if I would have been late, it would have been a problem… besides, your dressed”

“Says who, how do you know I’m wearing this?”

“Well, you weren’t wearing it earlier and I doubt your in here changing through like 20 outfits just for me” He said eyeing me for an answer.

“Maybe not 20…”

I smiled and he smiled that perfect smile back. “I’ll be one minute”

I went into my bedroom and grabbed my purse. I sprayed some hairspray on my hair to ass to the shine. Then I walked back out into the living room.

“Ready”

He stood up and followed me out of the door. I locked it and then followed him to his car.

It was about ten minutes until we got to his apartment complex. The whole thing was pretty.  Lake view Palace.

“Lake view palace?”

“Yeah, I had to have a place here when I drove past last year”

We parked and he led me to the lobby where we got on the elevator. He it the 9th floor…. Top floor.

Once we got off, there was only one door to go in.

“You live in the penthouse suite?” I asked, even thought it spoke for itself.

“Yeah, I do”

He opened the door and I was amazed. This boy was living the good life. And I’m not exaggerating. His Living room was the size of my whole apartment.

“Daaaammmmnnn!” was all I could say.

He laughed and grabbed my hand as he began to give me the grand tour.

Once we were done he took me into the living room.

“I’m gonna get dinner started, you can make yourself comfortable”

“Wait, you can really cook? ‘Cuz I was just kidding, I mean we can order or something.”

“Nah baby. No ordering tonight, I got it all taken care of”

I raised my eyebrows and had no words. “You really cook? No I mean like really?”

He laughed and walked away. This dude was seriously more than I had bargained for.

A few minutes later I began to smell all the different herbs being cooked from the kitchen. It actually smelled good and I kept wondering just what it was he was cooking.

I got up and decided I had to see the man in action. When I went into the kitchen, he had all these different seasonings laid out. There were vegetables and knives and like four different cheeses on the counter.

“It smells like heaven in here”

He turned around and looked at him leaning against the doorframe leading to the kitchen.

“Trust me baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet”

“Whats for dinner?”

“What, don’t like a good surprises?”

“Not particularly fond of them, no”

He laughed. “Salmons in the oven. I’m about to do the pasta now, I like it extra cheesy. Hope you don’t mind”

“Nope, I love cheese”

“Good.”

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I don’t like disturbances while I’m cooking.” He said in a joking way.

I smiled. “Well alrightttty then”

I went back into the living room and turned on the television to videos. Day 26 ‘since you been gone’ was on. I just love that song. It had just got to the second verse and I sang along.

“You can’t expect for me to let it go that easily. One day we making plans, the next day, girl ya leaving me. Okay so I’m a jerk. I know I made you hurt. And I know ya girlfriend was right I got what I deserved. I know the last time you said it was the last time. But baby all I need is one more last time. I’ll make the best of it. I’ll stop all my bullshit. And I’ll become the man you always said you wanted”

At this point I stood up and started dancing.

“Since you been gone I just can’t seem to get right, and I miss you more than you’ll ever know. Girl I just want a chance to talk to you, and let Chu know that I’ve changed. Since you been gone I stay awake all night. This bed just ain’t the same without you here. I feel like I lost it all, since you been gone. Since you been gone from me”

I felt a light tug on my arm and then I was spun around and into Jalil’s arms. He looked me into my eyes, and I looked him back in his.

He was still holding my hands and before I could even try to back away, he kissed me. Without any hesitation, I kissed him back.
