Only In October

Picture Us.

"Whats meant to be will always happens"- unknown

A u t u m n.

I sat on the passenger's side of Drakes car as we listen to soft music playing in the background. I slowly bobbed my head to the soft sounds of Tupac's Dear Mama. There was no lie this guy had a great taste in music.

I slightly turned my head towards him and found him focused on the road but still bobbing his head along to the beat of the song. He was really attractive now that I think about. He had very light skin which sorta looked like it was mixed.

He glanced at me and smirk setting his eyes back on the road. I quickly turned my head and looked out the window at the bright city lights.

"You look beautiful by the way." He said glancing at me once again. I scanned my outfit for a second the mumbled a small thank you, still not looking at him.

"Loosen up. Are you normally this uptight?" He asked with a slight chuckle. I shifted in my seat and unfolded my arms which were crossed since we had entered his car.

"Im not uptight. I just take a while to get used to strangers." I said still looking out the window.

"Damn, im hurt." He said putting his hand on his chest for a second, faking hurt.

"And that is because?" I asked turning my head towards him and arching my eyebrow.

"Because im still regarded a stranger." He said glancing at me with a slight smirk."Maybe if you would lighten up and let me get to know you, I wouldn't be." He said glancing at me with that stupid smirk on his face.

Why am I in a car with this idiot. Aj you are so Agh!

"What did you think you were? a friend? Hah!" I said rolling my eyes."And plus if you wanted to know me, you had my number, you could of called." I said almost mumbling and turning my head to look out the window.

"So you wanted me to call you huh?" He asked arching his eyebrow at me.

"Oh please don't flatter yourself." I said nonchalantly.

"We both know you did" he said smiling. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yeah whatever" was all I said to him, it was going to be pointless if I disagreed with him anyway.

"You know, your attitude stinks." He said keeping his eyes in the road. What did he just say?

"Excuse me?" I asked with an attitude, folding my arms again and turning my body towards him.

"Look im not trying to offend you or anything, im just saying I've been nothing but nice to you, but your attitude is going to mess that up for you,th-"

"I didn't ask for you to be nice to me. I never asked for you to talk to me at the park and I certainly never asked for you to give me a ride to where ever the hell we're going." I paused and took a deep breath to calm down. "So if you don't like my attitude, you can kindly drop me off here." I said as we approach a traffic light.

There was a silence I the car, accept the radio playing of course.
"Look, I didn't mean to be rude alright. But its clear that you're not in a good mood today, or any other day." He said then Pausing for a second. " Im just trying to get to know okay? Can't we just talk and get to know each other?" He asked calming his voice down, which had, had more bass in it when he had raised it.

I kept quiet for a second looking at him. He was right, I mean, he had been nothing but nice to me, and here I was being a bitch about everything. I said a little and nodded my head slowly, uttering a small "okay."

He slowed the car down and that's when I noticed where we were. The car stood stil on the edge of a cliff like structure overlooking the city. You could see almost everything, including Sento's Club and the ghetto neighbourhood I called home, but hopefully wouldn't have to soon.

"Where are we? This place...its.." I couldn't find the right word to describe it.

"Beautiful?" He asked as we sat there taking in the view.

"I'd rather call it different or refreshing." I said turning to face Aubrey. He was still looking at the view almost as if he was trying to let it soak in even more.

"Fair enough. So Autumn-" I cut him off before he could proceed with his sentence. I didn't like being called Autumn just by anyone, only my close friends and family called me that.

"Its Aj." I said correcting him. He chuckled a little. He was facing me now, his stare was so intense I felt like he was looking into my soul or something.

"My bad." He said holding his hands up in surrender." Look Aj it's clear we got off on the wrong foot somehow. So if you how about we start over;I'm Aubrey but my friends call me Drake." He said smiling and holding out his hand.

Is this guy being serious right now? I wondered if he'd ever give, maybe playing along with his little game would make this whole situation go faster. If you can't beat them join them.

"Nice to meet you Aubrey, my name is Autumn but most call me Aj." And tried to muster up the most convincing smile I could. He didn't seem to buy it though.

"Nice to met you too Autumn. So what do you do?" He asked looking really interested at what I was about to say.

"I'm in nursing school, but I work part time at my moms salon as a receptionist." He nodded taking in every bit of information I had said to him. "What about you?" I asked him him, a really eager to know how this boy got his money, because judging from his car and his Michael Kors watch, I knew he was balling.

"Thats interesting. Why nursing school?" He asked totally ignoring my question.

"I don't know, I've just always liked working with people and taking care of people." I said in all honesty. I've always wanted to be a nurse and I was happy that I was trying to make that dream come true.

"You? Like working with people?" He started cracking up and laughing his ass off.

Alright that was the last strike,this nigga was starting to get on my nerves. I was trying to tell him about something I'm passionate about and here he was laughing.

"You know what whatever. Can't deal with your ass anymore, just take me home." I said feeling my anger escalate by the second.

"Alright alright chill. That was wrong of me, I'm sorry." He said looking sincerely sorry.

"Whatever. You didn't answer my question by the way." I said rolling my eyes then looking at him.

"I study business online because I'm trying to focus on my music right now." He said smiling at me. That surprised me, he didn't seem like the music type.

"What kind of music do you make?" I asked, surprisingly wanting to learn more about him.

"Hip hop. I rap." He said simply. He then looked at his watch and started the car. "Its getting pretty late I think I should take you home now, don't want people thinking I kidnapped you." He said smiling goofyly.

I shook my head and smiled at his stupidity, which I had started to find...kind of cute.

"And she finally smiles! For real this time. I should make criminal jokes when I'm around you more." He said smiling and starting the car.

"What makes you think you'll be around me more?" I asked with smirking and arching my eyebrow.

"Let's just say, I have a feeling." He said smiling. "Now let's get you home" he said then winked.
