Chapter 2: Shall We

Fin is now sitting there silently. But she is obviously satisfied with my reaction. "What are some of the places?", she then asks repeating her question. "Stonewall and Big Gay Ice Cream are the ones I thought about going to first.", I tell her. She gets another satisfied look on her face. "So you wanna go gay sightseeing, I see.", she says. "Is that ok?", I ask. She smiles. "It's your choice remember, Issa?", Fin says. I take a sip of the water she just got me.

"Do you have any better suggestions?", I ask her. "Go out with me tonight.", she says. Or asks....honestly I'm not exactly sure what just happened. So I lean back in my chair and play it cool. "If I say yes, where are we going and what are we doing?", I question. "Stonewall is important and come on ice cream is ice cream. So don't get me wrong those are great choices.", Fin tells me.

I smile politely. "But...?", I question. "But...you forgot I'm a fan of yours. Those are basically puff pieces for you.", she explains. She then smirks and adds, "Respectfully." So I can't help but smile. "Ok so where are we going?", I ask. She lights up. "Man I hope I'm not gonna regret this.", I joke. She chuckles. "How about this. I give you a few choices and you choose.", she suggests. "Sound good?", she asks.

I nod. "Ok.", I reply nervously. "Ok so if you wanna go gay sightseeing I suggest we go to either Henrietta Hudson's or the Cubbyhole.", she starts off with. She then smiles and adds, "Those are lesbian nightclubs." I dunno why but the way she smiled and the way she said "lesbian nightclubs" was incredibly sexy. I bite my lip again. Dammit.

Her eyes jet right back to my lips. I swear she notices everything I do. But damn I gotta chill. I mentally shake things off and then I smile. "Ok so what's the next choice?", I ask intrigued. She chuckles. "Black Fat Pussycat. It's a comedy club, a lot of big names have performed there. I think you might like it." I take a sip of water. "I could use a good laugh.", I think in agreement.

"We'll see.", I say. She laughs. "Ok we'll see.", she repeats and smirks. "And last but not least there's the classic CBCG club, it's cool to see at least once.", she explains. "I know you know it's history.", she adds. Of course I know about this club. Anyone who knows even a little about punk rock knows about this club.

She looks at me with expectant eyes. "Lemme think for a minute.", I reply. She looks at her watch and says, "Sure." She makes sure to say it with a smirk. I begin to debate in my head and the next thing I hear is Fin. She's looking at her watch. "Well what's your choice?", she ask. I squint at her confused. "I just started thinking.", I say.

"Well it has now been a minute.", she tells me. She shrugs and smiles. "Maybe you can think it over more while having lunch with me in Central Park. I wanna show you something.", she adds. Ok now she's doing a little too much, not gonna lie. With anyone else, I'd think they were being too damn thirsty. It would push me away from them too.

But something intrigues me about her. Her looks don't hurt either, if I'm being honest. "Have you ever heard of Seneca village?", she asks. I shake my head. "Nope.", I say. "It's a part of New York's history most people didn't know about until recently.", she says.

Now I'm curious, so I agree. We both decide we should get back to work. Once noon arrives and I'm gathering my belongings. I hear behind me, "Almost ready?" I turn around and Fin is there jacket in hand and a smile on her face. She's a little nerdy but she's still cute.

We take a taxi from Harlem to the 85th street entrance of the park. We stop by a hot dog vendor and get lunch before we enter the park. She was insistent that I try one. As we walk through the park. She shows me the different boards that explain more about Seneca Village. Turns out before Central Park was Central Park there was a whole town that existed there in that area. It was mostly made of black folks. Long story short the government said mine and took it from them. Forcing everyone to leave.
