Falling In Love Is Easy... (Issa Thompson Love Story) [Complete - EDITING]

Getting to Know Each Other

::Tiana::

“Nice house, definitely a bachelor pad,” I giggled. He playfully rolled his eyes “Whatever, so tell me about yourself.” “Umm what do you wanna know??” he shrugged “Anything, everything, why don’t you start with the beginning.” “I don’t have the happiest life story, and it’s hard for me to get close and trust people, because my life has been nothing but disappointments the only good thing was meeting Taina, she’s been there for me ever since I met her.” “I’m sure your life couldn’t have been that bad.” “My job is to serve people who come in with attitudes just like or worse than the one you had, so yeah I have the greatest life ever!” I said with sarcasm. “Why don’t you find another job?” “I’m in school, so eventually I’ll be doing something I love, and it was my only escape from my past life.” “Oh cool, what are you studying???” “Computer forensics, you know like hacking into a criminal’s computer checking for things he/she may be into or have deleted to help solve a case.” “Sounds dangerous.” “Well, to me that sounds like fun” I said with a giggle. “I never noticed you had a dimple before.” “Yep only one though, but tell me something about yourself.” “Umm well I love music, especially rapping, I just signed with Jive records, I have 3 sisters and one brother, I’m the oldest, I just got back in touch with my biological (birth) dad, I had a pretty good childhood, and well yeah I think that’s it.” “You said something earlier about dealing with an ex, do you mind telling me about that?” “Oh well I was dating this girl, Amber, and she moved away about a year ago without telling me anything, and about 4 months ago, she passed away in a car accident” he said with his voice cracking a little. “I am so sorry.” “It’s cool, but can I ask you a few more questions?” I was slightly confused but agreed “Yeah, sure go ahead.” “Are you Taina’s quiet best friend from high school or the slutty one?” I cringed at the thought of ever being a slut “The quiet one I guess, never been a slut in my life.” “Oh ok, umm what made you have a hard time trusting & getting close to people?” Thoughts of Quan came rushing into my head. “Umm well whenever I start getting close to people they leave, well everybody except Tai, and when I was 15 my ex best friend, slept with who was my boyfriend at the time on more than one occasion & was supposedly pregnant by him, so I watch who I call my friends now.” “Dang! That’s messed up, so what do you wanna do now?” “I wanna get out this dress & these heels, I’ve been in it long enough.” He chuckled “You are not like most girls, are you???” “Nope and I pride myself on that, I’m one of those that are more comfortable in sweats and a tank with my hair pulled up.”

When she said that, I felt like I had just struck gold, I have never met a girl who is as comfortable around me as she is. “Alright, well I think I might have an old pair of basketball shorts or something upstairs for you to change in.” “Alright, thanks.” After that, I went upstairs find some basketball shorts and an old tank that belonged to Amber, and went downstairs to find Tiana snooping through some old pictures. “Find everything ok???” She jumped a little and giggled “You were such a cute little boy, what happened???” she asked laughing. “He grew up into this sexy man you see before your eyes.” She started looking around the room “I must be blind because I only see you in here.” “Real funny, anyways here you go” I said handing her the clothes. “Where’s the bathroom?” I smirked “Right here.” She rolled her eyes and began roaming around the house until she ended up right back where she started “Your house is confusing, now seriously tell me where the bathroom is.” “Ok, ok fine upstairs 2nd door on the left.” She left to go upstairs, so I decided to pop in a movie, Colombiana, right when I was about to press play, Tiana came back looking sexy as ever, I slyly bit my lip & continued to press play. “Yayy!! Colombiana, I love this movie” she squealed… to be honest I was a bit shocked most girls only like those sappy romantic movies that usually have them in tears by the end of it. “Really???” she looked at me “Yeah, really, I love action movies.” And she turned her head back towards the t.v. Half way through the movie she had fallen asleep in my lap, and looked as beautiful as ever, so I turned the movie off, picked her up and carried her upstairs to an empty guest room. I kissed on her forehead & went into my room & slowly drifted off to sleep myself.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off, oh shit! I have class today, wait where tf am I??? I looked around the room carefully & remembered I was at Issa’s house, shit I gotta get to class. I ran looking for his room & found an open door, I’m guessing this is the right room, I knocked on the door softly, and he stirred in his sleep, but he still didn't wake up, so I approached him & tried to wake him up & he still didn’t move, fuck! I guess I’ll call Taina. After a few rings the phone goes to voicemail. Ugh! fuck this, I wrote a note to Issa telling him I had to go to class and sat it on his dresser and grabbed Que’s keys, and sped off to my apartment, to freshen up really quickly. I got inside, quickly grabbed my sweats and a hoodie. I brushed my teeth, grabbed my phone and an apple and headed off to class. I made it with 2 minutes to spare, talk about luck.

I woke up, and rolled over and noticed a sheet of paper with my name on it, so I picked it up and scanned over it quickly, it read: “I tried waking you up, but you didn’t budge, I had to get to class, be back later to return Que’s car… P.S. had a great time last night, thanks –Tiana” oops my bad, I just hope Que doesn’t come over before she returns with his car. I walked in the bathroom to do my morning hygiene. I wonder what time she gets out of class. I picked up the note once more to see if she left her number and she did, on the back, I picked up my phone & texted her to see what time she would be done with her classes. As soon as I sent the text my doorbell rang, please don’t let it be Que. I walked down the stairs & opened the door to see my nigga Bobby. “Sup man” I asked confused as to why he was here this early. “I need help.” “With what?” “Girl problems.” I stood to the side & let him in “What’s going on” I asked him. “Well I met this girl the other day, and gave her my number but she has yet to call, what do I do???” “Just wait on her, maybe she doesn’t wanna seem desperate or maybe she’s just busy, and hasn’t found the time.” “You’re right man, so what you been up to the past few days???” “Nothing much, just chillin” I said partially lying, truth is I can’t stop thinking about Tiana, right then my thoughts were interrupted by her texting me back saying she gets out of class at 1. “Cool, I heard Que set you up on a blind date yesterday, how did that go?” Bobby asked starting up a conversation. “Pretty good, it didn’t start off that way though, as a matter of fact it wasn’t good until after the date was over.” “Who were you set up with?” I couldn’t tell Bobby that info, dude had a serious crush on her when we were at Friday’s, although that was more than likely a front. “Some girl, Taina know.” “Que’s girl, Taina??” “Yeah.” We continued to talk about this blind date, and I did good at avoinding saying Tiana’s name as much as possible.
