My Desires

Chapter 10- Date

Allison's POV

I was anticipating this date or whatever you want to call it that I have with Enzo in a few hours.

I felt giddy and excited.

I had thought he didn't like me as how I liked him but when he kissed me twice and asked me to go out with him, I had to think otherwise.

No one just show's up to your house and I ask to take you out unless they like you. Right?

Or want to kill you.

Hmph.

There was a knock on my door followed by a loud mouth woman I call my bestie. "Naah bade Allison come open this. Mi soon guh cut da key deh cahz mi a wonder how mi nuh have one a mi own and mi deh yah almost every day."

"Don't you live with a man now?" I asked as I let her in. She hissed and run inside my kitchen.

She always do this.

"Ouuuuu. Mama cook cabbage and dumpling." She started to share herself a plate and poured out some of my juice from the refrigerator. "So waah gwan mi gyal."

I was excited to tell Nia about my date. I didn't remember to because I was too excited for what's to come. "Enzo and I are going on a date. Or something of that sort."

She squealed. "Mi did know seh uno way go happen. Jordan owe me five grand."

She started to eat the food while I stood there confused. "You guys betted on us?" I asked as I took a seat in front of her on the kitchen stool.

"Of course. Wah fi tap e?" She says.

"So uno know bout we before we know bout we?" I questioned.

"All it takes is the right person to change you." I smiled at that and she continue to eat her food. I didn't understand what she meant by that but I didn't put anything to it. "What time uno plan fi go out?"

"He's coming to get me at 8:45 p.m."

"Girl a afta 7 enuh. Yuh know seh yuh tek long fi ready." She rolled her eyes at me. It's true though, no matter how mi think mi a ready fast mi just a slug mi way through time. It's a terrible habit.

"Arite mi aguh bathe."

*******

I was almost ready when I heard a knock on my door.

A must e dry head gyal leff sumn.

"I'm coming!" I yelled and went downstairs to open the door. I was frightened to see that it was Enzo. He kissed me on the cheek and I blushed a little. "Lorenzo," I looked at the time on my phone. "It's 8:37."

Dem need fi fire da security deh enuh. Him keep on a sen up people and naah tell mi.

Lorenzo had his hair cornrowed into a low ponytail. I like to think that it's his signature hair style.

He was wearing a white Givenchy hoodie, black jeans and air Jordans 23.

Him can dress enuh.

My mouth felt dry suddenly.

"Yuh nuh ready?" He narrowed his eyes at me and I had to look away from his patronizing gaze. His cologne wafted through my nose and I shook my head to concentrate.

"I still have eight minutes. Just come in and sit down, I'll be ready before you know it." I smiled and ran upstairs to put on my clothes.

I had already showered, done my makeup and my hair.
