Columbus : A dl love story

cafe on main street.

i pulled into the parking to the cafe on main street where i go whenever i need to catch up on class work & study.
As soon as i walked in,there was this boy who caught my attention, he was tall, brown skin, buff arms, waves, & a ring on his left hand middle finger.
he seem to be texting on his iphone 12 that was blue.
i sat down & proceeded to open my macbook & typed my password in & launched the website i use to do my school work.
he looks up & stared me down multiple times. it happened a few times more.
i began to ask myself.
"why is he staring at me?" "am i bothering his presence?" "he must see something he likes?"
as soon as i sat began typing i got a phone call. from my best friend Melanie.
i answered briefly
"hello?"
"hey, ima have to cancel on you tonight."
"oh. so im stuck inside the house tonight?"
"yea. but ask tae if he can make it?"
"nah it's alright, im good."
i hanged up cause i was a little pissed off that i had no plans for tonight anymore.
i turn my phone over on the screen side & looked up saw him staring at me all over again.
i got turned on & grin a little bit.
"i see you smiling." said qua.
i looked both ways.
"who me?"
"who else."
"um."
"looks like you got no plans tonight?"
"uh yea i do actually, i have work i needa catch up on."
"you in highschool?"
"college actually."
he paused & stared at my shirt.
"Mississippi state?"
"yes."
"so you smart smart, i actually dropped out my senior year."
in my mind i question why he stopped he was in his last year. but i ignored & continued the conversation
"oh thats good actually."
"you think so? you aint gone tell me to get back in school?"
"why would i do that?"
he grin & showed teeth & said.
"cause you in college."
his teeth were perfect.
they were white & actually clean. his face was clear & smooth its was moisturized.
you can tell he had perfect hygiene.
"no, thats your decision."
he rosed out of his seat grabbed his phone & walked over to my table over by the nearest window.
"ima join you."
he sat down & stared at his phone,
& its a fact that i dont know this person but wanted to know who he was texting.
he was smiling real hard as well.
"who got you smiling like that?"
"damn, you nosy."
he said adjusting his position in the seat.
"yo girlfriend?"
"yea. actually she said something to me."
" & it was that funny?"
"yea."
"so what you had plans for tonight?"
" oh i was gonna go to this restaurant with my best friend & her brother."
"why? whats the ecasion?"
"just to do something nice for tonight."
he slid he phone in his pocket & said .
"we can go if you want to."
i jumped my head back a little bit.
cause why did he ask me this?
"nigga what?" i asked catching an attitude.
"i said let's go?"
"why, Nigga you don't even know me?!"
"okay? im tryna help you out & shit cause you seemed irritated, when whasam named canceled on you."
i looked at him with an sort of an catching an attitude type look.
"nah, never-mind bruh don't even worry about it."
he asked. might as well right?
"okay, damn fine we can."
"was that fucking hard?"
he reached for his phone.
he handed it to me
"put yo number in it."
my right eye browed rised.
damn he sure is quick.
like does he even feel comfortable
with my sexuality? like does this nigga not see how feminine i am?
i grabbed his phone & placed my number into his contacts .
i also noticed he has plenty of unsaved numbers in his phone.
"be ready at 7:30. the restaurant is the grill."
"ight."
he walked out & passed the window where i couldn't see him no more.
i decided to go home & change.
