Alia
I rolled daddy in his wheelchair into the house sitting him by the couch and turned on the TV.
“It’s nice to be home,” he said and I smiled, “Now I could get up,” he got up from the wheel chair and sat in his regular sear.
I sat on the armrest of the chair and gave him a hug.
“Thank you so much baby girl, you know I don’t want you staying here, you have school,” he pleaded and I sighed.
I know I didn’t have to but I transferred all my things to university of Miami closer to home to take care of my family.
“I transferred all my things to UM. I care about you guys and Aziza needs an eye on her. I still got my scholarship money to back me up,” I explained and sighed.
He just smiled and kissed me on my cheek, “you one strong woman like your mother, I mean if your mother bailed Aziza she would be greeting her friends with a black eye,” we both laughed, it was true, momma would beat her ass in front of all the officers. Aziza knows better than to act how she is now in front of momma.
“Somebody had to fill the void and handle the certain things that you can’t,” I said and he shook his head and grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.
Immediately I saw the UF game and saw Cory’s face plastered on the screen.
“And again Cory Smith makes another touchdown! I’m telling you Dave the kid has a future in the NFL if he keeps this up for the next three years,” he explained and I just looked at him and sighed. It gave me that headache/cramping feeling that I have been having for the past days that I have been here.
I just ran upstairs into my room and fell on my back onto my bed and stared at the ceiling sighing trying my best to hold back tears.
I knew that Cory was angry at me for just leaving him up there without a single phone call and to be honest I didn’t want to tell him especially right during the perfect season that he was having so far.
“Ugh I hate this,” I looked at my wallpaper on my phone of me and him and smiled.
I was going to tell him sooner or later.
My phone started ringing and I saw Leo calling me.
I really had to tell him that Cory was in my life because Leo was more than hypnotizing.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Are you ready my lady?” he said and I couldn’t help but to smile and giggle just a little. He had a small sense of humor.
“To be honest no, I’m thinking, casual or Cas-formal?” I asked and he burst out laughing so hard.
“Cas-formal, is that even a word?”
“Yes, yes it is.”
He chuckled, “Alright Cas-formal since I have never seen that form of style. So twenty minutes okay with you?”
“I could do a lil something with that time,” we both laughed and hung up the phone.
I ended up picking out this beautiful flower print romper with gold plate belt and decided to bust out the signature red pumps. I moisturized my hair with some curl definer and put on some make up and red lipstick and checked myself one more time.
Even though it’s been a while since I have been on a date I still fix myself well, like a true woman should.
I had around five more minutes to really get everything ready so I can’t embarrass my damn self.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my breast was literally playing peek a boo. I searched around looking for the answer to all answers for this problem, double sided tape. I looked around my room and couldn’t find it at all.
“Dad have you seen my tape?” I asked walking down the stairs and saw Leo sitting on the couch across from him.
“Hi,” I said walking over and he gave me a soft hug.
“Hey,” he said and I looked over at my dad and he shook his head and pointed at the tape sitting on the coffee table.
I let go of Leo and grabbed the tape and ran upstairs fixing the tape onto me. Well there goes for not embarrassing myself.
I went back downstairs and grabbed Leo heading right out the door giving my dad a looked before heading out and he smiled at me.
We both walked downstairs and headed to his car which a simple black impala that was very much clean.
“So what my dad has told you?” I asked and he laughed unlocking the door.
“Nothing much but nice things about his eldest daughter,” he said and I smiled opening the door and getting in the car, “Whoa,” he grabbed me by my arm and got me out the car and closed the door. I looked at him puzzled and he laughed, “you look beautiful by the way, I like the Cas-formal look,” he complimented and I smiled, “One thing you should know about me, as a gentleman I escort my dates into the car meaning opening every door even the car,” I smiled and he opened the car door and I got in. such a gentleman.
Leo ended up taking me to Area 31, a restaurant that I really loved. It gave the best city view and Jazz music a girl like me can ask for.
We spent a whole hour literally discussing about ourselves and our likes and dislikes.
“So it slipped my mind but does a beautiful woman like you have a boyfriend?” he asked and I took a sip of my water and nodded my head.
“His name is Cory, he plays football up in Gainesville, hardly knows that I’m permanently in Miami though,” I explained and he nodded his head. It really made me feel uncomfortable talking about him, “What about you? None of the correctional officers have gave a try with you?” I joked and he laughed.
“Naw, I’m not ready to be anyone’s boy toy just yet. Plus my girlfriend passed away a year ago, murdered,” he explained and I sighed.
“Sorry for your lost.”
“Its okay, this is actually my first date since so I am a lil rusty,” he said and I giggled.
“You’re fine with me, I think you’re doing fine for you first time back,” I complimented and he smiled.
We continued our date for an extra thirty minutes until he paid the bill and led me out on the restaurant balcony over looking the city lights and tall building making them even more brighter than it showed.
“This will be your lifestyle if you have Cory,” he said standing behind me and holding the railing.
“Na, I’m thinking suburbs, not too crazy like this, I like quiet. Somewhere like Georgia,” I said looking at him through the corner of my eye.
“More open field, kids playing on the grass, cookouts, the country thing,” he said and I smiled turning around and literally looking at him face to face with me.

His brown eyes stared right into mines; he stroked his hand on my cheek and leaned in giving me the softest kiss in the world making everything that has been happening in another world. I couldn’t help but to kiss him back. The way he held me and caressed me showed me that he cared.
He held my hand and we walked to the car in pure silence. We both got into the car and it was just silent to the point you could hear the static in the radio.
“I’m sorry, Its my fault. Damn, you got a dude, I usually don’t do that but just so…Damn,” he said putting his head on the steering wheel and I grabbed his head and made him face me.
“Its okay,” I smiled and I slowly reached in, “it’s fine,” I kissed him repeatedly and finally I let go and smiled at him.
Lord, please don’t let me fall to someone who’s not willing to catch me.
