"Ok....." I walked out my room and looked around my apartment.

I let out a breath and took my boots, Jiji and Malikah reminded me about happy hour, earlier and I'm nervous. At the same time, I'm not.....I really didn't have female friends that lasted long......

"Just try it out....." I breathed, slipping on my boots.

Darryl: b there in 5 minutes

I smiled reading the message, I got a lil too excited......we've been texting all day and......

*sigh*

For someone so chill and quiet, Darryl is that typa flirt that has me giggling all day. He told me not to worry about tonight, the ladies just likes to have fun, drink and play games.

I'm still nervous about Malikah and Jiji knowing about me and him, I mean.....we didn't technically acknowledge that were a couple. I dunno if that's what he wanna be labeled as.....me and Darryl are hoping that we can......one day. He wants to yo take things slow and I'll respect it, this is a new direction for me and I don't wanna mess up my chances.

I also saw the very comfortable and trusting energy they have around him. Darryl tells me that he just met them, but he kinda sees them as big sisters.....of course, they'd look at him as their lil brother.

So, will they find it a lil iffy about me and Darryl becoming friendly? I really like him.....

Sunday night, when he came home from Vegas......instead of going out so late, I made dinner for us. We didn't do anything, we just talked. It was nice and I got to know a lil bit more of Darryl. Quiet, calm, sweet.....sexy as hell and that's the typa vibe that attracted me to him even more......

I got out my car and ran to the entrance. I'm so fuckin late....! My alarm didn't go off and when I-!

"Oof!!" My bag and keys fell. "I'm sorry....!"

"I got you....." I stopped and blushed, when I saw him reach for my things on the ground. He stood back up and gave me a really, really cute smile.....

Whoo......

He's tall.....slim and definetly someone I shouldn't even consider, I mean.....wow. People this fine, shouldn't even be looking at someone like me. I cleared my throat and bit my lips, taking my stuff from him.

"Thank you....." There was a look on his face, his eyes looked over me and I felt a lil.....self conscious. I cleared my throat, glad I had a sweater on......

"You kinda late, ain't you.....?" He asked and I looked at him. He gave me a patient look and looked around the parking lot, behind me.
