Take Care [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

I'm nervous as hell for this date. I have no idea what to wear and Lorenzo's coming to pick me up in two hours.

"Will you stop pacing, you're making me dizzy."

"I'm nervous I can't help it."

"Just let me help you." He went to my closet and searched each hanger.

"Did you find anything?"

"Yea, put this on." He handed me a white frilly dress. The sides were cut out and it reached mid thigh.

I quickly ran to the bathroom to put it on and checked myself in the mirror. I look really nice. After a few twirls, I went back to my room. I walked straight to the mirror and took my bonnet off. One by one I started taking out my bantu knots. I'm praying to God these come out good.

"Please please please," I got to the last one and everything seemed fine. I separated each knot twice and I was left with a curly afro. I was quite satisfied.

After Chase did my makeup, I sat and talked with him while waiting for Lorenzo to come pick me up.

"I'm glad you're finally giving him a chance. I haven't seen you with anyone since Michael and that was in college."

"Chase you know I was deep in debt and I had to focus on that."

"I get that but those weren't gonna get paid off anytime soon, you're 26 Samai. Were you planning on waiting until you're debt free to start dating? You would've died single because in this country you won't be debt free until you're dead."

"I know that but I just wanted to get it under control. Thanks to Lorenzo it finally is."

"You aren't going on date with him just because of that right? You know you don't owe him anything because he gave you money."

"Of course I know and I'm not doing this because of that. It's been a long time coming. I was trying to push my feelings for him away but eventually they caught up to me. I really like him but I don't even know how it is to be in a relationship anymore. I'm scared, and I really don't wanna get hurt."

My mind takes me to Allison. I don't know who she is but each time I hear her name he's having a secret conversation with someone.

"Thats totally understandable, and that's why you communicate. Let him know how you feel and then you guys can move slow."

"I know. I will." I gave Chase a small smile.

"Okay now get up so I can take pictures. You look like a bad bitch."

After taking pictures, Lorenzo knocked on the door and I went over to answer it. He was wearing black pants with a burgundy button up shirt. The first two buttons were open, giving me a view of his peeking tattoos. He left his hair in the natural curly state instead of gelling it. All in all he looked really yummy.
