Serendipity

After hugging Cleo, the boys and I went into house.

"Mommy why friend no come in??" Geo asked looking up at me

"Cleo had to go home, you'll talk to her tomorrow..." I said smiling at him

He nodded his head and we all headed upstairs. Since the boys were tired, I let them put on their sleeping clothes and they'll bath in the morning. But me in the other hand I ran me a warm bubble bath. After I ran the bath, I stripped outta my clothes, threw them in the dirty clothes basket and got in the water. As the water touched my body I relaxed and sat down. I closed my eyes and my mind drifted off. It actually drifted off to Cleo. Today with her was amazing. The boys enjoyed her, and I definitely enjoyed her. She love the boys and the boys love her. Overall she is just a cool person. When the boys don't see her they have to at least call her everyday. They've never gotten attached to someone this fast. I guess Cleo is just different, she very much feels different to me. As I was thinking I got a call. I dried my hands off and picked up my phone. I looked at my phone and it was Kace. I answered the phone and sat back in the tub. Soon as the call connected his face was all in the camera which made me laugh so hard.

"Hey Kace..." I said smiling

"So how was the date??" He asked smiling in the camera

"It was not a date, but the boys and I had a good time. She took the boys and I the aquarium which they love. We touched the stingrays. We seen a lot of different animals and fish. Then she took us to the gift shop, and she bought the boys what they wanted. She then took us to Chic-fil-a, we ate in the inside, and she brung us home..." I said telling him about our day

"Must be nice... Did y'all have fun??" He asked

"We did..." I said smiling
"So what you do today??" I asked him

"Nothing really. Bryson and I have been in the house watching movies all day then we went to get food..." he said and I nodded

"Where the boys??" He asked

"They were so tired. I let them put on their sleeping clothes and get in the bed..." I said

"So they had a good time..." he said

"Hell yeah, cuz they went straight to sleep..." I said and we both laughed

We talked for a while before we hung up. When I hung up, a text message came to my phone. I slid my screen down and it was Cleo.

Cleo: I really enjoyed you and the boys tonight...

Me: We enjoyed you too. I really appreciate you for taking the boys out. They really had fun...

Cleo: Of course. Y'all are always welcome...

Me: They had so much fun that they came home and went straight to sleep...

Cleo: I didn't mean to wear them out that
bad😂

Me: 😂it's good. I am able to get a lil me time...

Cleo: Well you're welcome...

Me: Thanks ...

Cleo: I wanted to ask you something...

Me: Go ahead...

Cleo: Can you and I have a day to ourselves??

I was really surprised by her question. I didn't expect her to ask that. I didn't know what to say so I hurried and called Kace back. He answered on the 2nd ring.

"Wassup girly..." he said answering the phone

"Bitch..." I said

"What??" She said

"So Cleo texted me and told me she had fun with us and blah blah blah. So we continued texting and she just asked me can we have a day to ourselves without the boys..." I said fast and all in one

"Okay you supposed to be answering her question. Why you calling me??" He said

"Because I don't know what to say..." I said

"What you mean. Say YES..." he said yelling the last part

"Kace I don't know. Yes, she a nice person. But I don't think I'm into women or even interested in doing something like this right now..." I said

"See that's your problem. You always thinking. Stop thinking and just go with the flow every once in a while. Let that woman take you out and have a good time. You deserve it. I'll even keep the boys for you..." he said

"Kace, I—..." I started but he cut me off

"Girl if you don't hush and tell that woman yes. I reached through this phone and tell her myself..." he said making me laugh a lil

"If something goes wrong I'm blaming you..." I said to him

"Whatever just go have fun with her..." he said

"Okay Kace..."I said before we hung up

I took my phone away from my ear, opened the messages and just looked at it. I can't believe I'm doing this. I never been on a "date" with a woman. I don't know how to feel about this. I mean it shouldn't be bad cuz Cleo is fun and she's very nice.
After forever I finally text her back.

Me: Yes we can...

Cleo: For a minute there I thought you was gone dub me🥺

Me: Nah😂, I had just hopped out the tub

Cleo: Oh okay😂

I got the tub forreal this time 😂. I wrapped my drying off towel around me and headed into my room. I sat on my head, grabbed my lotion and moisturized my body. I went into my draw, grabbed me a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I slid them on and neatly clean my bathroom back up. After I cleaned my bathroom, I head downstairs to fix a shake. Before I made a shake I baked some cookies. When the cookies was almost done, I pulled out all the ingredients, and started my shake. I made a chocolate shake and went back up to my room. Cleo and I got on the phone and we were talking about random things. We stayed on the phone until like 12:30 something. Then we said Goodnight and got off the phone.
