Finding Joy

Chapter 7

"Lauren, how do you two know each other?" My dad asked.

I looked dope boy up and down and good god he looks good. I always found it attractive for a man to dress, and by dress I don't mean wearing matching sneakers with his shirts but actually dress and be versatile. I love a man that can rock suits, blazers, and cardigans. It turns me on and boy did Mr. Gucci shirt seems to know that.

He wore cuffed red pants, with a white button up shirt, rolled up to his elbow along with a navy sweater and brown sperry's. Good god he looked edible.

"Lauren." My dad said again.

"Uhh, we met at the mall initially ." I said.

"Oh really?" My dad said.

"Yes sir, she spilled piping hot soup and then some type of frozen drink on me." Dope boy said.

"I'm sorry about that again." I said embarrassed.

"It's fine. The burn you left is only 2nd degree." He said.

My eye lids shot up. "I gave you a second degree burn? I am so sorry!" I said profusely.

"It's fine, really." He assured.

I looked at him with worrisome eyes, but god I couldn't ignore his scent, or how sexy and cute he really is!

"Lauren, since you two seem to know each other a little, why don't you show him around. Or go back inside where you two can talk privately." My mom said raising her eyebrows suggestively.

I nodded my head and asked Gucci Shirt to follow me.

Once we sat down, inside the house he gave me his undivided attention, almost staring at me.

"So, how do you know my dad?" I asked him smiling.

"Well I'm a trial lawyer, and I really wanted to learn and study from the best, so I enlisted the tutelage of your father." He told me.

I honestly though he was gonna say my dad got him out of trouble and have him a job. He's even well spoken wow.

I nodded my head suddenly becoming a little uncomfortable because of te constant staring.

"Am I being a creep?" He suddenly asked.

"Just a little bit." I said with a laugh.

"Well excuse me for that. You're just so, beautiful and although you've caused me bodily harm and spilled things on me multiple times indicating your clumsiness I still like you." He said.

"Well thank you first and foremost and I'm really sorry about that. It was never my intentions to hurt you." I said.

"I know. It's fine." He said smiling.

"I'm glad you know." I said smiling.

"Tell me something about you Ms. Lauren. Nobody seems to be having babies right now so we're cool right?" He asked.

"That wasn't a joke. I didn't say that to get away from you. My sister in law, two of them actually are pregnant and one thought she was going into labor early:" I explained.

"It's fine. I just like to see how much I can push those buttons. By the way your react I know you like me." He said.

"I like you? I don't even know you!" I said.

"I know, but you can get to know me." He said.

"You'd like that wouldn't you?" I asked.

"I would love it. Now tell me about yourself." He said.
