| A L A N A |I walked into this restaurant called Mimosa looking around taking in my scene . I was suppose to meet Blake here to discuss something he had on his mind . I walked to the hostess booth and gave her a warming smile .
" Welcome to Mimosa , Table or Reservations ?" She asked
" Reservations , I'm meeting a friend " I replied scanning the room for him .
" Last name ?" She asked scanning the seating charts for the night .
" Jackson , Blake Jackson " I said nervously hoping he didn't set me up .
" Right this way ma'am .. " she began walking towards the quiet dim light area .
I walked behind her slowly , heart racing a thousand beats a minute . I didn't know if I was excited about seeing Blake or nervous about the conversation that was about to flow . I saw him come into view and the sight made me weak in the knees . He looked light a lightskin God and I'm not over exaggerating. He was dressed in black from head to toe with the occasionally gold bling glistening from his watch and the sparkle from his gold diamond chain . When he look to see me he froze and so did I . Was it something on my face ? I was wearing this black Wrapped dressed that hugged my curves with the change of Red Platform heels and a Red LV clutch .
" Damn A you look good " he smiled standing go kiss my cheek . I sighed in relief , good he likes my outfit that I spent hours debating over .
" Thank you .. You clean up nice yourself " I smiled looking him from head to toe like it was my first time meeting him .
" How was ya day and all ? Ion see you round' much since school out " He frowned
" work Bestfriend , remember ?" I asked laughing
" oh yeah you do work 2 jobs now " he said shaking his head .
He leaned up , propping his hands on the table smiling at me . He looked me dead in my eyes , but it felt like he was reading my mind , body and soul . My mind was a wreck wondering why I'm here , my body wanted to fuck this boy 50 shades style , and my soul wanted to love him with every piece of me . When the waiter came to break the silence I exhaled and my body shrugged in relief.
" My name is Carrie and I'm your waiter this evening , can I start with your drinks ?" She asked preparing to write everything .
" Um Yes can I have a Glass of .. White wine " I smiled . I should've ordered some damn henny the way I'm feeling.
" And for you sir ?"
" I'll have the same " Blake smiled as the girl blushed . I rolled my eyes .
" Do you know what you want to start of with as an appetizer , or do you know your order already " she asked him disregarding me . Hoe is the word I screamed in my mind .
" I'll let my girl choose " he smirked . Carrie the waiter smiled faded as she turned to view me .
" Humph .. Well for an appetizer we'll have Spinach Dip . My meal would be the Salmon on Wild rice with a lemon squeeze and could I have my lemon on the side " I looked at her .
" Yes , And you sir ?"
" I'll have the Shrimp Sirlon Steak with a Green Salad , Italian dressing on the side " he gave her the menu and she scurried off.
" well my nigga you certainly have the juice " I smirked joking , but obviously serious at the same time .
" Nah I don't " he laughed .
During the appetizer we just laughed and joked over anything and nothing . We talked about a few people that came in here looking a HAT ( Hot Ass Mess) . For some reason it was times flying by that I felt like all eyes were on us . Like I was doing something rather wrong , when I was just having dinner with a friend . The food arrived and as we started eating the burning questing popped up in my mind.
" So I'm here , and we're eating so you should at least tell me why we're here ." I said taking a bite out of my food .
" Right , Well Alana I went to visit my moms and she just spoke some real shit that made me view stuff from a different perspective . She made what was killing me so obvious ." He paused as we heard a familiar voice.
" Alana ?" I looked up to see Kareem staring down at me rather furious , but calm at the same time .
" Ka..Kareem what are you doing here ?" I asked . Not knowing why I was so nervous wasn't like I was doing anything wrong .
" I should be asking you the same " he replied
" She's having dinner with me " Blake scoffed sizing Kareem up.
" Hmm .. I see , can I talk to you for a moment alana . Privately " he said walking away .
" Excuse me " I smiled walking outside with Kareem . Blake nodded in understanding .
When I made it outside Kareem pulled me to the side roughly and got in my face .
" You tell me right now who's it going to be ! Because I am not with these back and forth games anymore Alana ! He didn't want you until he saw you happy ." He whispered -yelled .
" It's just dinner .. Get your fucking hands off me . You don't control me Kareem ! I know we date ! That's MY Bestfriend . He was here before you do when he needs me I will be there for him . Get a grip ." I seethed back .
" Call me when you get your shit straight ma " He shook his head in disbelief walking away .
I stood their shocked and confused . I let out a huge sigh and got my thoughts together . I walked back into Mimosa and found my seat .
" I'm sorry about that B . He thinks this dinner it's more than us being friends and I was trying to explain it ." I sighed
Blake looked up at me with look like he was ready to confess .
" Alana that's why I asked you to come today . I'm in love with you man . I wanna be with you , for real this time . I've never bet anybody I love more than you . Not even my baby moms . I always defended you before her ." He stopped as his voice began to crack .
I sat there in shock , this was something I've prayed for . Something I've wanted so bad . I'd do anything to be with him then , but now I'm confused . I'm the one in his position and for once I know how he felt . I also knew my heart pulled towards #TeamBlake more than #TeamKareem , but still I didn't want to be hurt again by Blake .
" Say Something Ma ... Anything " he pleaded as his eyes searched mines , he'll they practically begged me for a answer .
What to say ? What to do ? So many thoughts rushed in my mind . I wanted to be with him so bad , but how could I do Kareem like that ? And in that splint second ....
The Room began spinning ..
I became Dizzy , Then
Darkness .....
